Kiara pov I took a general scope of wondering why I had to deal with this man at all. It was already bad enough what he had done to me in the past. Somebody with a little bit of decency will give me some space now but he had his hand on my waist?So I made an attempt to pull away from him and he abruptly brought me back to his side making me sick down to my stomach then he whispered in my ear."I know that you love attention but I hope you are not really trying to cause a scene at such an important event?" I was feeling cold on the spot where his fingers made contact with my body but I was trying to brush it off. It got even worse when he started making small circular motions with his fingers.I was almost tempted to move away again and then he held on. "Don't try to act smart with me. I have nothing to lose if I make a scene in this place but I'm guessing it won't look too good on you I love…."My eyes swept across the whole hall that had been beautifully arranged for the night an
Bryant pov"Let me get this right, you want me to leave?" I had not expected that our conversation was going to take this long and all I wanted was to get to my wife.She was now sitting on my mahogany table that she had put herself on the moment we stepped into the office. From the look on her face, I could tell that our conversation was going far from where she had expected it to."You need to understand.." I tried to explain to her calmly."This event is strictly for people that are working in this company or their close invite-" I was barely done speaking before she got into my words."I don't understand, I am your girlfriend, why do I need an invitation to come to this then?"I felt like I had aged 10 years with this conversation even though it had probably just been a couple of minutes. I wanted to return to my wife as soon as possible and to the occasion in general since it could not move onto the next stage without me.And here this woman was fighting all sorts of nonsense a
Kiara povI have never been happier to see my husband until that very moment. His cousin Oscar had already succeeded in tearing off the pics of my dress and was attempting to do much worse when his voice vibrated through the entire office and I could have jumped into his arms at this very moment."It's not what it looks like!" He suddenly healed as loudly as early demented manhood and I just passed him using the shock to throw him off balance running over to my husband. I'm clinging onto his arm. He leaned closer to me and told me not to worry."Oscar you have exactly one minute to explain yourself and not a second more…"Standing with his back against the desk Oscar seems to have quite a casual expression on his face, smoothing out his features that have been a rock for a moment ago due to the intense struggle that we had one from me trying to stop him and him desperately trying to overwhelm me."Look cousin this is what really happened…"I didn't want to look at him but as my face w
Kiara's povThe moment I heard that he was going to be acknowledging his cousin I wanted to shrink into something small and dismissible and then crawl into the nearest hole I could find.What really made me think that he was going to take my side over his own family just because he couldn't remember him yet it didn't change the fact that the same blood run through their veins it's my foolishness that made me want to disappear it made me wish that the earth will just open up conveniently and swallow me.I held onto the side of my dress remembering how the previous one that I had admired so badly was torn right in front of me despite all the money that I put into it my husband had insisted on buying it for me but I told him that I wanted to buy it with my own hard-earned money after all I wasn't working for free and I wanted to spoil myself a little bit.We were able to come to some kind of compromise when he said he was going to give me a big bonus if the party went smoothly and that s
Bryant's pov"I have tolerated this nonsense for far too long… "I sat down cross-legged as I looked at the older woman that had introduced herself to me several weeks ago as my grandmother waking up without my memories had been so unnerving but I could feel the warmth that had come from this woman the moment she landed her eyes on me how it had been so painted with such sincere worry it was almost impossible to believe that we didn't have the same blood flowing through our veins.But as she loved me I guess she also had similar affection for the man that I had just thrown behind bars. How unfortunate.I had moved back into the house that she had been inviting me to for so long mostly to spend more time with my wife and also to be seen as a peace offering but she only saw this as a chance to plug my life complaining viciously that I should release Oscar.Now in the early hours of dawn, she had marched into my bedroom without pushing the door open and demanding to speak with me. I shou
Anna povThis has to be some kind of joke.I have repeated that phrase to myself so many times since Bryant lost his memory that it is almost becoming a mantra for me at this point.If I knew that things would have deteriorated to this point I would have never told him to marry that useless whore.Getting a signal from my GPS I turned around a few more times before I arrived at a respectable but secretive hotel. I glanced at my wrist watch and then I walked out of my car, opening the door and keeping my sunglasses tightly fixed to my face.I had even brushed my hair so roughly that most of it would be covering my face like a curtain. It earned me a funny look at the receptionist's office but I couldn't care any less as I headed up to my destination on the top floor grinning from ear-to-ear.All the tension that had built up for me this week would finally be released, I got into the hotel and then started setting the mood for the other person that was going to join me playing slow musi
Kiara pov"You probably already know why I called you here," Anna asked me as she crossed her legs on the dining table, the table that I was setting so that my husband could have his breakfast. I looked at her unable to hide my distaste and she caught on to my expression quickly. "Are you glaring at me?"She demanded to know slamming her open palm on the table and propelling herself up to her feet.I was backing away from the eggs that I was supposed to be cracking for an omelet.I mumbled that I wasn't glaring at her which was just basically me lying right through my teeth because that is exactly what I was doing a moment ago. Putting up with her nonsense was becoming more and more intolerable everyday and now I was becoming more self-conscious because my husband was living with us once again.I had arrived at the kitchen with a big smile on my face and now it has been turned upside down because of this annoying person."You should know your place…"She said to me in a twisted t
Kiara's povThe silence that entered the dining area when Anna said that was louder than an exploding bomb and I just looked at her, my jaw now running to the ground, my eyes skipped over to my husband.Panic immediately ran through every fiber of my body when I noticed he was rushing at his former fiancee."What did you just say to my mate?" He growled from the bottom of his throat and I watched as all of the color in her face immediately washed off. I would have been scared too if I was in her position.I was sitting across from her but hearing that sound was enough to make me feel cold all over even if it wasn't directed at me.My husband's eyes were obviously hot with rage and I was afraid of what he would do if he acted in this anger-and how it will be conveniently blamed on me- so with a movement that was swift as a breath I was standing next to him and my arm interlocked with his own."Bryant, she didn't mean it like that!" I never thought that a time would come when I would b
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
