Tyler’s POVMy heart pounded as if someone was beating a drum in my head. This thing Eunice arrived at was so demanding. Everything I’ve laboured for—I mean, everything we have laboured for—she wanted it for herself alone just because I cheated?I walked briskly to the living room. Lola’s eyes were fixed on me, but I couldn’t tell her anything.I knew Lola was with me because of all she thinks I have. But I am with her because of the child Eunice couldn’t give me. So, to me, it was a win-win situation. But then, telling her stuff like this would make her panic.She might retrace her steps immediately and leave me, leaving me with no chances of being a father. So, I kept mute.“What is the matter, babe?” she kept asking me.“Nothing,” I said, feigning a smile at her each time. Later on, I walked slowly to the room upstairs. But in my mind, I was racing—I was running from her so she could stop asking me and I could have some perfect time to think.Eunice must not take everything from me
Eunice’s POV“Please sign here, here and here,” said Attorney Evelyn Hart, our business lawyer, as she pointed to three places on the document she brought home for us.I sat in our luxurious living room. My mum was seated with me and just adjacent to us was Attorney Evelyn.It was time to take over my mother’s company, Maison Vivre. A group of companies dealing with high fashion and styles, having our branches in many countries of the world.Yet, the President of the group of companies, who was my mum Josie, had refused to broadcast herself to the world. In all of the years she was the president of the company, she kept her identity secretive. And in this manner, I wanted to be too, as I emerged as the new president of this company and my mother retired.Without wasting much time, I signed right on the spaces Attorney Evelyn instructed me to sign.“It’s done,” she sounded.“Congratulations on your new position as the president of Maison Vivre, ma’am.” She bowed to me and then bowed to
Tyler’s POVIt was almost like I didn’t hear her well when she gave me a blatant no. “Pardon?” I said, wanting her to repeat herself.Seeing my reaction, she touched her belly once more and her voice changed into something sounding like she was crying.“I am pregnant for you babe. How can a pregnant woman be doing such hard chores? Do you want me to lose my pregnancy? My baby, our baby.” She shed some tears and with this, I realised that I might be overreacting.I shouldn’t have asked her to help me clean my mother’s room, or cook for her so that she could use her medication.Feeling remorseful, immediately, instead of heading to work, I walked close to her, kissed her belly, “I will handle it.” I said to her,She smiled at me now, wiping her tears. Then she kissed me on my forehead. “Make me some breakfast too babe.” She sounded.“My baby needs it. Our baby needs it.”With no choice but to comply, it has been a while since I cooked anything. Eunice has always made sure that my stomac
Tyler’s POVI opened the door to our room upstairs, and what I saw shocked me.Lola was staring into the TV screen, watching a porn movie. She was completely naked, fondling her breasts and fingering her private part by herself.I opened my eyes widely at the sight before me. Before I knew it, my third leg was already rising from watching Lola do this.Lola was a lady whose body physique was all about sexiness. She knew how to get me into the mood whenever she wanted to do that. This was also one of the primary reasons we fucked in the office like there was no tomorrow.Just as my thoughts caught up with the present, I noticed her little baby bump. At that moment, I remembered what the doctors usually said on TV: “When your partner is pregnant, it is most important to also have sex with them because this helps them during childbirth. If you neglect them, it becomes too tight, and easy delivery becomes a problem.”Quickly, I walked to her and sat next to her.She rubbed my chest with h
Eunice’ POVAfter signing the stupid counterfeit document, I was in my room for two days straight up.I was staring at the walls, in the dark, just trying to clear my head. But it was not an easy thing to do.Being betrayed by someone you have only loved since you knew how to love was something that can mess you up for a long time. You’d heal, yes, but what makes you heal faster? Revenge or time?Annie knocked on my door each night, bringing in food for me to eat. But most of the time, I had no appetite for much food to eat.“Darling, please eat up. Only when you eat would you have the strength to resume work,” my mother also comforted over and over again. And with this, I was starting to eat more and more. Better.Three days and two nights after signing the God-forsaken document, I rose up from bed and stepped out of the room for the first time.I was much leaner, my face was sober. But then, it was time to heal, as I always said again and again:Like a bird, I would fly again.I ste
Eunice’s POVHave you ever seen a cat sneakily moving undetected to attack a prey?For instance, in the widespread living room of a home where the owner has a cat, the cat moves too silently to catch the erring mouse which just infiltrated their home? That was me.This was how I have stayed silent for two years. Two years I have been strategizing, planning, making silent moves on how I would take down Tyler and ruin the company I built for him—or better to say, for us.They say you should be a better person when someone has hurt you. You shouldn’t hurt them back and blah blah blah. But let the tides turn. You’d watch those who advised you to not hurt someone be the first to carry a gun, to hurt those who have messed with them. No one has the right to tell me how to react when I have been hurt. They should just pray the one I am coming for has all the heart to take the hit.Two years, I’ve been heading Maison Vivre, and within that period, I’ve created a new branch which does the very
Tyler’s POVI stepped into the hospital room. My mother, Diana, has been admitted here for a few days because her condition got worse.“Mr. Cooper. You should really pay attention to your mother’s diet. She is not eating well and she is not taking her medication at the right time,” said Doctor Joel the instant I stepped into the room.I let out a sigh, feeling the weight of his words press on my shoulders. It was a known fact that after Lola insisted she wouldn’t be doing any cooking or chores in the house, everything fell apart. Because of this, I hired a nanny for my mother and a chef to cook for all of us.But a few weeks later, the complaints started.“She is useless. Her food tastes like dirt!” Lola yelled.“She is terrible. She doesn’t take care of Mother good enough,” she nagged about the nanny too. And after more than a few weeks of unrest in the house, I just had to send the chef and the nanny away and hire new ones.But did the new ones do better in the eyes of the Almighty L
Tyler’s POVI saw the way she froze at that question, as if she had been caught off guard about something bad she did and didn’t want anyone to find out. But she quickly masked it with a smile.“What do you mean by this nonsense question? Am I supposed to know why God made her skin a little bit darker than ours? Or do you want to imply that I cheated on you?” she defended harshly.The question hit me like a rock in the face. How could I have questioned the attribute our dear child has just because it was a little bit different from us?Everyone wanted to have a unique child. A child so unique and outstanding that it would bring her family to fame. With Jasmine’s type of blue eyes, when she grows older, we can register her in a modeling school. And from there, she could start representing her name—our name—her city, in fashion parades. And who knows, she might be declared as Queen Beauty of our country later in the future, right?I blinked my eyes as I swallowed my words. My mother had

Tyler’s POVI wiped my finger on my head. I was sweating profusely even when the air conditioning was on. I understand that we were in the summer period. But the air conditioning was on and I was still sweating this way?The cleaning was a huge task. I wondered how Eunice was able to do this every day and never complained.After what felt like hours, I walked out tirelessly after I was done.While I was in the room cleaning, my mum, Diana, just kept on looking at me and shaking her head. She said nothing to me and I said nothing to her too. She eyed me badly when I turned my face away, ignoring her as if I didn’t see her.Then, I walked to the living room and I saw that the hired men were done moving Lola’s goods inside. She was in the living room, lying on the sofa comfortably like she had been married to me for the longest time.The TV remote was in her hand. She was watching a movie and another bottle of wine was opened near an empty one she had drunk before.“You are done babe?” s
