Kiara's povWhen Bryant jumped into the elevator with me I felt my heart immediately leap up to my throat and lodged there in an instant.He stepped in and for the first few seconds, there was this silence between the two of us that was louder than any noise I have ever heard in my entire life.Why did he follow after me? He should know now that I was nothing more than a maid who got lucky to be made his contract wife and then his secretary. There was nothing more to our relationship than that and I was foolish to allow my heart to become vulnerable to a man who was only confused."Kiara, we need to talk."His voice was not harsh when he said that it almost sounded desperate but I wasn't going to give myself the opportunity to grow more useless and hope that I would only have to uproot like the weeds that it was."I don't think that it's important for us to tal-""I want you to cancel my meetings for the next 2 days. I won't be available in the company. Can you hold down the fort?"I
Kiara's povWhen I saw the two of them like that it was almost enough to tear away the little bit of self-control that I have been holding onto so desperately as a sign of pride to think that I still have some of my dignity left to myself despite everything that had happened however I could feel my heart shattering but I managed to keep a professional expression."Good morning sir," I said tightlyWhen he left the elevator after asking about me I was foolish enough to pick up hope at once more. Maybe I wasn't being so foolish. Maybe it was the only chance that something could work between the two of us. This was a thought that had been deeply buried inside of me and I have not thought about it too much.Now I saw their hands in tangled together and I thought that I was going to lose my mind but despite that, I maintained the big smile on my face arranging the documents that were on his table but I was sure that I was doing myself a job and just going through motions until it looked su
Bryant pov SmileThis was a word that I repeated to myself unnecessarily throughout the entire day. I was just going through the motions but without any feelings invested inside of me from the moment I remembered everything I was left in a whirlwind of confusion.I thought that my feelings towards her which I had felt so intensely when I had lost my memory would disappear now that I had recovered my full memory. I knew that she was just a secretary and contract wife to me but instead of me having less affection for her I felt it getting even stronger.Every time I was looking at her I tried to remind myself that she was just a maid and nothing else to me.This was what I was trying to convince myself of because everyday I saw her at the office and I knew how efficient she was.So putting her as a maid was out of the option, even though it was something my Grandmother was banking on."Now that you have your memories back you should fire her…"She had said to me after she called me to
Kiara pov"I'm fired?" I stared at Bryant, no my boss with a perplexed look on my face, and then he immediately began to explain that he was not actually firing me he was simply transferring me to another location to work in the company saying that the job would be far more lucrative for me and I will probably be more suited to work.Then I looked at the letter that he had written for me and then I could feel the tears that were bubbling at the corner of my eyes threatening to come out and embarrass me.I immediately pushed them back and thanked him for the opportunity. Even though what I wanted to do was grab him by his collar and demand to know what I had done wrong.I know that we will never be together not in a million years, I was a nobody and he was at the top of the pack in the end he would only marry somebody like Anna and make her his Luna and then I would be tossed aside but I wanted to give myself some kind of consolation that I would still be by his side even though I mea
Anna pov"Honey I love this place..we should come back again another time…what do you think!?"I asked Bryant trying to get his attention for the millionth time alone that evening and once again I could see my plan for a romantic night fading.I tried not to notice it.I tried to pretend that it didn't bother me and I smiled all the way to the corners of my lips. If anybody saw us from afar they would think that we were the perfect couple, and we really were.The only thing that was left was for him to act as if I actually existed in the same space as him instead of just giving into nothingness and saying absolutely nothing to me apart from a few generic statements that made my blood boil.We had come to our usual date at a new expensive five-star restaurant and we were going to a hotel after for some privacy since we couldn't go directly to the pack house.I already knew what was going to happen by the time we entered the hotel room and I tried to tell myself that tonight was going t
Kiara povI sighed with my entire chest as I placed my folders on top of my boss's desk.Yes, that was all he was to me; my employer and nothing else.When I told him that I wanted a divorce and was ready to terminate our contract, the only answer that Bryant gave me was no. "You don't have the right to go except I ask you to and I'm not ready to let go of you now. At least stay here with me and work alongside me at the company if that's enough reason for you to stay." Looking through his eyes I'm sure that he meant every word he said. The contract started with him so what right do I have to terminate it? And working here isn't a bad idea but seeing him with the woman that he has loved from the onset is the only thing that I'm trying to bring myself to understand.She has always belonged to Bryant. What right do I have to be jealous? My feelings will change nothing, rather it will cause more damage.I should even be grateful that he allowed me to keep my job and I should not be so n
Anna's povJust as I expected and also dreaded, his smiling face was waiting for me the moment he opened the door but I didn't have any time to waste.I threw my purse into a corner-I didn't care where- and I grabbed him by his neck slamming the door shut behind us as we began to devour each other I soon wrapped my legs around his hip and after a little bit of stumbling and struggle, we made it to the bed consumed by our passion until both of us were finally separated from each other basking in the aftermath and feeling intense pleasure.There was a pinch of guilt though.Well, this was all my fiance's fault if he wasn't able to do his duties as a man and somebody else was going to do it for him and it wasn't my fault that that somebody was his despised cousin.He was looking at me with a cheeky smile on his face that I wanted to punch right off but I ignored him pointlessly because he wasn't going to stop badgering me until he knew that he had my attention."You haven't visited me in
Kiara's pov The high-pitched scream filled my ears. It was so loud that I was sure that my eardrums were going to explode at the very next second but somehow they didn't. I turned around and I saw Anna standing by the doorstep. I felt cold from the tip of my head down to my toes. This couldn't be happening. This had to be some kind of nightmare. Bryant had his hand on my waist and I had just been kissing him when she walked into the office thinking back to how the day began. I couldn't believe how I ended up in this situation. Last night I was thinking about what happened in the office and how Bryant had helped me pick up those files. He could have just looked away like he normally did when I had a problem but he decided to help me and I was quite surprised because of that but I tried not to show it keeping up with blank expressions on my face. He didn't need to know about the effects that he had whenever he did things like this. I just wanted him to think that I had forgotten ab
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
