Bryant's povMy Beta was looking at me expectantly, probably expecting me to jump through the roof with the news that he had just given me but instead of doing it I just returned my eyes back to my desk and opened up my laptop typing away as if he had not said anything at all.He was looking completely struck with shock as if he couldn't believe his eyes and probably because he couldn't he might have been able to imagine that somebody that I had been craving to see for several years had been spotted right across the street and I had no interest in seeing her. He got up and he looked as if he was struggling desperately to get something out of his pocket after a while he brought out his phone and then started slapping his finger across it until he seemed to come across what he was looking for his smile spreading across his face like the butter as he turned his screen around in my direction."Maybe you have your doubts so I took a picture just in case," he said, still managing to keep a
Bryant's pov"There is something different about you today," my best friend said to me after we stepped into the coffee shop and sat down it was time for lunch in the company so we decided to go to a quiet and calm place unruffle some of the stress that we had gathered up inside of ourselves since morning running a multi-millionaire company was definitely no easy task after all.I always preferred for my coffee to be more bitter and my friend likes his more sweet with cream and chocolate and sugar to the point that he might as well have just ordered everything else without the coffee so I was getting a black coffee and he was getting himself a Mocha.But as we waited for it to arrive we continued to talk conversing about many things as I made no reference to what his comment about me looking different today as I held up my phone I turned off the screen for a moment to try to see if there was anything different about my physical features but I couldn't find anything so don't worry I he
Bryant pov"I didn't expect you to deliver so quickly," I said to Oliver as I made my way over to my cushioned comfortable swivel chair, in reality I was actually hoping that he would take so much time that I would eventually become fatigued with the whole thing and they said that I didn't even want to know anything about her again but here I was feeling a sweat of anxiousness and expectancy beginning to roll down my forehead mercilessly and not only that my hands were beginning to feel crummy with sweat as I placed them on my thighs sitting confidently knowing that my desk was blocking my view from them and how they were shaking before my servants Oliver could place the folders of what he had found."I wasn't expecting you to be so quick with it for her so soon but it doesn't look like she's hiding herself. She's staying at a very popular five-star hotel in the city and she goes to respectable and well-known places as well on her outings so it isn't really hard to track her down."As
Kiara's pov"Mummy mummy can I try on your lip gloss?"My only girl child and toddler asked me as I was putting on my makeup for my pleasure and I smiled at her saying that she was still far too young to be putting makeup on her face just yet she pouted and she was probably going to be clear about this until she had her favorite yogurt drink.Miguel said that he had other things to deal with meaning that I would be the only one to go to the party and since I could not leave my children alone and attend so naturally I was going to bring them with me they were usually well-behaved unless they got overly excited so there wouldn't be any problem in a party and I already tried all of them with something nice if they all kept their best behavior until we returned, so I didn't have much to worry about.That was apart from one thing in particular that I had discussed with Miguel last night, he pointed out that it was going to be a very big occasion and a lot of people were going to show up. E
Bryant's povI don't know if it was a bad idea coming to this party but it was eventually becoming a waste of time to me I could have just been in the office working on my documents why did I decide to come here and look for this woman and worst of all the person that I was looking for was nowhere in sight I was just making a fool of myself at this point I shouldn't have come over here to look for her what did I think I was even going to achieve by doing that?The celebrity that was getting married in particular a redhead have supported me and she came over with her other half both of them holding hands as if they had forgotten how to let go of each other as I watched them I fiddled with my glass of wine finding a strange sense of envy crawling up my spine seeing the two of them together it was odd to imagine that I was even in a relationship myself.The Smurfs that they were wearing on their faces all the way to the point that they were standing in front of me didn't shake for a sing
Kiara's povI was sure that either my ears or my eyes were deceiving me because if they were not the amount of audacity that was coming out of this man must be incredibly insane.After everything that he has put me through after all the suffering I had to endure just because of him just because of the love that I used to have for him, he could really stand in front of me like this and ask me to get back together with him.What was he expecting me to do? burst into tears and said that I had been hoping for this moment for five years and then running to his arms. Maybe I'll admit that the kids were really his own and this time he might actually decide to believe me and then we would live happily ever after as if anything else could not be further from reality.I stepped back away from him putting my hand on my kids and bringing them with me but then he stepped forward and if I said I was ready to run again he would just easily overtake me and grab me by my arm just like what he did befo
Kiara's povAfter kissing Miguel and seeing the reaction on Bryant's face I realize that maybe that was what I should have done from the moment he stepped in instead of awkwardly explaining that we were in some kind of relationship that was romantic in nature. That would have simply hit the nail on the head instead of going back and forward and looking ridiculous also attracting a lot of unwanted attention but by the time I decided I had kissed my friend enough and both of us were basically struggling to breathe I tried to pull myself away from him I realize that he held me by my waist pulling me back for a moment and out of sheer force I was able to break out of that kiss.He seemed to only realize that he was so invested in the case that he had forgotten about everything else and he started looking around his environment as if he had just stepped into the party while he was trying to gather himself and find his parents I looked at my ex-husband and I saw the expression on his face i
Kiara's povI registered my triplets into a daycare and then I went off to work my friend had still not contacted me and this was very unusual for him normally he was the type that would wake me up with a with a good morning text or a phone call but it was almost as if he had fallen off the face of the Earth.I kept constantly trying to contact him. There was no reward for that. Eventually, I decided that he was an adult and he could take care of himself so there was no need to continue talking about him.And if he found out that I was looking for him in this manner he might confuse it as if I was beginning to develop romantic feelings for him when the only thing I was actually feeling was a worry for a friend but he would find it hard to differentiate the two and I just prefer to be welded together since that is what he wanted to hear.I decided to pull my mind back into business just like how I had been doing for the past five years it has worked out for me so far after work I will
Kiara's pov "Doctor please can you save him?" The doctor looked at me with pity saying that he was going to do everything he could but it wasn't looking very good for my father as he turned around and dashed into the ICU unit before I could settle into the waiting room Bryant and my mother quickly arrived to the scene and by that time he is really running down my face. I had no idea that man would ever be able to take a bullet for me. I thought he wouldn't even care if I died so listening to the advice that he gave me didn't seem to make any sense. Tears were coming down heavily even as Bryant wrapped his hands around me and my mother kept pleading to me what happened. So through my tears, I was able to narrate everything to my mother and the father of my children and I watched as their faces gradually became pale then my mother came over to me touching my cheek. "Are you saying that man really took a bullet for you?" My mother asked me and honestly, I wasn't surprised that she w
Kiara's povI looked at my phone again as it started ringing and vibrating on top of my desk it was from an unknown number or technically the number was not unknown because I knew it was coming from my wretched father that was if I could even call that my father anymore after all the years that he had abandoned me and my mother his daughter that he flew away he just walked back into our life as if nothing happened as if leaving us to struggle for so many years is nothing. As if that was something that we could just easily sweep under the carpet and forget about.I remember the first time I mistakenly picked up an unknown number thinking that it was probably related to business since that was not completely coming and I couldn't believe it when I heard his voice from the other side of the line telling me that he had run into my mother sometime ago and after doing some digging here he was able to get my phone number I didn't allow him to say anything else before I quickly cut off the c
Mr. Horris povIn the years that I have been married to my wife, I knew that she was capable of a lot of things and many of them were not exactly something that was supposed to be spoken outside to other people, however, I used to believe that she had limits.But after what I just discovered I found out that she definitely didn't when I tried to donate blood for Anna I was surprised when the doctor called me over to his office and told me that I was not a match for my daughter and that they would have to personally look for another donor this immediately made my suspicious and my instincts did not allow me to forget it so while she was at the hospital bed I asked the doctors to do a DNA test for me and Anna and the result was what I had in front of my wife right now the wife that had lied to me for several years and made me think that a child that wasn't my own was mine all this time.I had raised her with all the love that I had with all the love that I never gave to my true daughter
Harris povI was completely overtaken by shock when I heard you that my beloved daughter was in the hospital back and immediately I called out for her father who was in the other room rushing to him with tears running down my face he was focused on a TV and it took him a while to finally look at me and he saw the tears running down my face then he hardly told me that I could buy what I wanted to if I let him the rest of his program I told him that it had nothing to do with a purchase.I told him that our only daughter is at the hospital right now and immediately he began about asking me what happened I told him that I had got a call from somebody who claimed to be a friend of our daughter saying that he had found her in her hotel room bleeding really badly and she had been rushed to the hospital I showed him the address on the hospital with a map app that I had and told him that we have to leave as soon as possible."Who could have possibly done such a thing to our daughter let's go!"
Oscar's pov"I'm guessing that you were not expecting to see me,"After waiting five Long years I had finally seen her again and my heart was racing from the moment I got news that she was in the pack once more. It must have been destiny saying that we were meant to be together even though from the horrified look on her face.I was guessing that she didn't know that I was supposed to be in her life and she should have shown more excitement after seeing me for over 5 years I had been following her in the shadows all this time but now that she was finally alone in a restaurant that was far enough from the company that I wasn't expecting Bryant to be popping up anytime soon I wanted to meet up with her and I sat across her on the table that she has chosen"Oscar, whatever you have to say to me I am not interested in hearing it after everything you have done. It is just best that you keep your distance away from me."She spoke in such a bad manner as if she was speaking to an enemy but I
Anna's povThey were having another candle-lit dinner tonight and I watched them. A couple of tables were going with the glass of Champagne shaking in my hand almost to the point of tumbling down and falling to the floor but somehow I managed to keep the balance before dropping it back on the table feeling like my head was about to explode and my heart was about to follow it a moment later.How did things end up this way? 3 days ago I was expecting to be married and spending the rest of my life with a man who was now having a romantic dinner with another woman. How could he do this to me?Just like I expected my friends were calling me and asking questions, and many of them who were not actually my friends had taken this as an opportunity to laugh at me. I knew that many of them were talking to me behind my back.I thought that I was going to lose my mind at any time,What gave them the right to be so happy after they had taken any chance of happiness away from me? What gave them the
Kiara's pov "Have you heard the hottest gossip in town?"I was in the company's cafeteria having my lunch because I wasn't going to have another afternoon looking across the table and seeing Brian's face normally it was easy for me to control the hatred that I had been nursing for the past five years as diligently as I took care of my own children but yesterday I had even caught myself laughing with him that was completely uncalled for I thought that the walls I had built up around myself were high and mighty.I had convinced myself that my wall stood so high and mighty that there was nothing that could ever bring it down but as the days passed by I noticed that he would often come to my mind and it would summon the boiling anger that it normally did.Sometimes I would even find myself smiling at him and the thought of him but the moment reality slapped me sharply across the face I was able to gather myself again but that didn't mean that I wasn't slacking off.This meant that I was
Anna's pov I was waiting expectantly to hear from Bryant's grandmother, and when she finally called me over to meet her in a coffee shop I was hoping to hear good news. "Anna you might have to give up on my grandson,"The mocha I was slowly sipping when she said this to me immediately the taste become bitter in my mouth. The next thing I did was to gradually drop them as gently as somebody dropping a bomb."What do you mean by that? How can I possibly give up on him? Our wedding is just 4 days away now. I can't possibly think of giving up. Everything is already prepared. I have invited all of my influential friends to come. Do you know how humiliating it's going to be to tell them that the wedding is not going to hold?"Even as I was saying all of this to her all she just did was to stretch her back and shrug helplessly she should be able to do more than this was it because she was becoming too old it was hard I was relying on her to set his head straight not for her to come and wa
Kiara's pov In my life I was used to the struggles that came about me at this point it felt like a normality. Having my triplets I thought that life was finally coming to a meaningful point.I thought that I finally came to a balance that made sense but I was wrong about it. I had only imagined that everything was going right and all of a sudden that balance and falling apart into a million pieces without me realizing it. How could I be staying under the same roof as the man that broke my heart 5 years ago? How could I be allowing him to speak to my children freely? These questions ran through my mind without answers and I thirsted for it.I came down after another stressful work day not knowing what was waiting for me at the parking lot what I did not expect was that the tire of my car would be shredded and all the air let out of it now I was stranded in this place because I hadn't brought any cash that will be enough to take me back to that place."Are you having issues?" He popped
