A lot ran through my mind on the reason Kaiden wanted to see me in his office all of a sudden. I mean his mother, the Chairwoman is around at the moment, so why?What does he want from me this time? Does he want to introduce me to his mother? I smiled when that thought came to my mind, then I remembered that I didn't like him.I got to the front of his office but Lucian, his secretary was not on seat as always. I wonder what was happening because Lucian never left Kaiden's side. Whatever happens is non of my business anyways.I took a deep breath before opening the door to his office but then I paused. "Why did you come here?", I heard Kaiden yell, slamming his fist on the desk. That alone startled me. I really need to know what is going on."Kaiden dear, don't you want to see your mother?", I heard a lady's voice. I know that it was Mrs Kingston because I recognize her voice from the two general meetings that were held last two weeks ago. "Don't you think this firm should grow more t
"Go, take your shot", I said pushing Stacey to where Lucian was standing. She didn't even hesitate because she is not shy with approaching men like I am. Trisha was off to chase her dream man, and I was left alone on the refreshments table looking for another delicacy to stuff my face with because the food was nice."There is Mrs Trisha Kross", Kaiden said walking up to me at the refreshments table still looking for what to eat next. I rolled my eyes and continued with what I was doing."Are you not Mrs Trisha? You look spicy tonight", he said putting his hands on my waist gently from behind but I resisted his touch."Happy founder's day to you Mr Kross", I said raising my glass of wine to clink with his and took a sip. I know very well that I just got on his second nerve.Kaiden took my drink from me and pulled me from the table to an isolated corner. "I need you to avail yourself whenever I want or else", he said putting his hands on my neck and pinned me to the wall. I struggled so
"What am I doing here?", I asked struggling with the drip that was attached to my arm. The nurse there came to help me sit up."Ma please you need to get some rest, you don't need to stress yourself at this point", the nurse said tucking my pillow well for me to be comfortable."Please don't move, the doctor will be here soon", she said as I still struggled to get up from the hospital bed. I got hit by a headache and I tried to massage my head.Before I could move further, the doctor came into the room. I am very thankful that it was a female doctor that came in, I am not too good with male doctors."Thank goodness you woke up at the right time dear. How do you feel?", She said feeling my forehead with the back of her hands."I just have a slight headache", I replied."But....what happened to me doctor? I was at the founder's night and I woke up here, what is wrong with me? I have never felt like this before", I said confused, still trying to get off the bed."You had a little episode
"You are packing your things back to the Kingston Mansion today. No questions, no complaints, no refusal", Kaiden said looking deep into my eyes.There is no doubt now that Kaiden knows that I am pregnant. Why is he trying to torture me by pretending that he doesn't know anything? What is he trying to gain?"I am not repeating myself", Kaiden said pulling my chin up slightly, bringing me back from my thoughts."Why are you doing this to me? Are you not engaged to Chantel? What will your mum say when she sees me there? Do you really think I will be comfortable staying there?", I asked all at once."Which one do you want me to answer first, Mrs Kross?", he said pushing me to the table and gripping me tight. "Like I said, what my mum does is not my business. You are my wife, I mean, are you not? At least before the law you are, even if you don't wear your ring or you don't want to admit it at all", he continued."I will be at your place by 7 PM to get you, so get yourself ready", I watch
"Some people just don't know their place in this Mansion", Chantel said staring at me with disgust as she took her seat across the dining table. I rolled my eyes. I also pitied her because she thinks I am her enemy. Ever since I came to the Mansion, she has always been on my neck.Mrs Kingston called for a 'compulsory family breakfast', as she would call it. She said that every resident in the Kingston Mansion should come together and have breakfast like a family, except the butlers. The only residents in the Kingston Mansion include: Mrs Kingston, Chantel, Kaiden and I. One can never know what Mrs Kingston has up her sleeves every time she speaks these days."Mr Gil, do you perhaps have any space on your little corner of the Mansion? You might need an inmate", Chantel chuckled as she spoke to the senior butler still glaring at me.Shortly after, Mrs Kingston was seen in the dining room. She had her stick as always. As she walked slowly to the dining table, the air became suffocating
"Stacey don't you understand? I can't leave this Mansion. Kaiden is not home, at least till midnight, Mrs Kingston and Chantel are people I don't want to cross path with right now", I said to Stacey who was at the other end of the phone. I walked up and down the room as I spoke, I couldn't just get myself to sit one place."Hope you can handle anything in that house?" "I am just surviving. Sometimes Kaiden is on my side, sometimes he is not. I am literally on my own here""There is still a way we can meet you know", Stacey gasp."How?""There is a little party Mrs Kingston is throwing at the Kingston Mansion for Chantel and Kaiden. Every department have to appoint one representative to attend, I will have to convince Mrs Evans to appoint me to represent our department, I know very well that she won't want to attend", she spilled."Party? When? How come I never knew about this? I am really in the dark", I asked. I was never aware of anything like this, and besides they don't include m
"We are going be having a party today at the Kingston Mansion and Trisha is not allowed to attend", Mrs Kingston said, smiling at me as we sat to have our 'family' breakfast.Kaiden who was sitting across the table next to Chantel, threw his cutleries on the table and flared out in anger. His expression was rather the opposite of what I thought. He flared out instead of being surprised about it. Guess it was already discussed in a meeting that I wasn't invited to attend. It turns out that Kaiden was not cool with the idea but Mrs Kingston still went on with it anyways.Chantel smirked deviously at me. Of course that is what she has always wanted. I didn't show any expressions because I was already aware of the meeting and I wasn't surprised if I wasn't invited as well."This meeting is specially for Chantel and Kaiden, and we won't want our guests asking questions with you in the picture. Hope you understand dear?", she said with a rather genuine smile than the usual."Of course she u
I sat on my bed staring at Stacey still dumbfounded at the fact that I was left in the dark. Come to think of it, I really deserve it because I told her about my relationship with Kaiden later and I still have something I haven't told her yet."Stop acting like a dummy okay. I didn't tell you because I wanted to tell you when I see you", she said throwing her hands up in the air and rolling her eyes to my awkward reaction."How long as this been going on for?", I asked her."Since the founder's night at the hospital, when he helped me to get you to the hospital", she said rubbing her hands on her neck, feeling guilty for not telling me since. "And you didn't tell me?", I yelled."Why are you flaring up? It's not like you don't have your own secrets, the ones I am not aware about", she said calmly."You really didn't give up on him like you said", my mood lightened up a bit. I am very happy for her, I just got angry that she didn't tell me this sooner."Yes, I don't give up on someone
Trisha's POV Michael was saying all the right things to me and I was beginning to fall for him the more. He went too extreme when he said that he was going to take care of my baby, not knowing the real father of the child. If at all he knew, he wouldn't have said that. Now that he has said that, what if he comes to find out about the real father, I wonder if he will regret his decision.I watched him go on and on as I admire his handsome face, it was always more handsome any time I looked at him. I have been really blessed with handsome men around me. When he confessed his feelings for me, I didn't know what to say. I said I was going to take things slow while trying to weigh the feelings I have for Kaiden and for him. He practically made the first move.But then, why would Kaiden be an option? Michael has literally presented himself to me, and I finally have a chance to be happy for once in my life. Why do I want to throw that all away by some blur feelings I have for Kaiden. I cann
Michael's POV I lost her before because I couldn't convince her to stay, but I wasn't going to make the same mistake again. Trisha was finally being herself around me, without hiding anything. I didn't expect her to say anything like that. I honestly felt pity for her. The story to why I came here was different from what hers, so I had to respect that.That was actually a blast that I wasn't prepared for. It was very hard for me to take it all in, and she brought that up at the very point when I was about to kiss her. From what she told me, she didn't deserve it. Her own part of the breakup was not like mine and I had to understand it.As I grabbed her at the door, I could see the pain in her eyes, she couldn't stop crying. I took her in my arms and told her it was okay. I didn't want to be the same jerk that she broke up with. I was changed now, and she deserved to see it in me. I led her gently to the table, in the mindset that I was going to listen to everything she had to say, a
"Wow, you impress me Michael. What's the story", I said sipping on one of the most expensive wine here. It tasted like heaven. One might even get drunk with realizing it."What story?", he said across the table with a smirk."Come on, everyone has a story behind this lavish lifestyle", I said, my eyes glued to his like I never wanted to take it off."Here is how it goes, but you will need to listen attentively", he said smiling."Okayy", I smiled back."After the day you came to my office and everything went down, I obviously don't want to dive into it, Kaiden, my boss at the time sacked me", he explained. He didn't smile at all when talking about this, his countenance had changed completely."Wait! What? Why?", I questioned. I mean, why would Kaiden want to sack anyone just like that."I thought you knew already?""No I didn't", my face so confused."It turned out that Kaiden took the whole me messing up thing seriously, and personal too. According to him, I had also messed up a few
Trisha's POV Michael feels like a different and more repented person to me. I feel like he is trying to make up for what he did to me. No, I don't have anything against him. I have too much on my mind to think of than what Michael had done to me, or even to hold it against him. I just can't. I want to give him a chance and see how it works out.I am not with Kaiden anymore. I am not his wife, I was never treated as one. I was just a medicine for him to heal from his past addiction. So I have the right to give Michael a chance. Who knows, if he loves me that much, he will have to accept Kaiden's child too. I am pretty sure that Michael doesn't know about my relationship with Kaiden. I mean, we were never a thing, that's why people didn't really know about it. My relationship with Kaiden has been a secret all this while, and I want to keep it that way. I am sure Michael doesn't know that I am pregnant too. He will come to find out sooner or later, and when he does, I will have to come
I just made the biggest mistake of giving Trisha my number, I would have gotten hers as well. It has been a week since I gave her my number and she still hasn't called. I am getting impatient, but I can't let my impatience get the best of me. I even went to the hospital a couple times to see if she would show up eventually, but she didn't show up. I began to feel so paranoid, then I called myself to order before it affects her too.Since I saw her, I have been planting date scenarios in my head hoping that she would like it. A picnic date? A movie date? A fancy dinner? I didn't know what she liked because I had never planned a date for Trisha before, and I obviously didn't know what she would like. I began to panic because I needed it to turn out fine.Soon, one week became two weeks and I started beating myself up. Why didn't I get her number instead? I would have known where she was staying by now. I fucked up. Every call that came to my phone, I would be super excited just in case
Michael's POVMy life began to change since the day Trisha came to propose to me a caught me cheating with my Personal assistant. I was demoted and sacked by my boss, and the same man Trisha gave my ring to. I wonder how that turned out for her. Trust me, Kaiden Kross took it very personal that he had to drop my sack letter on my desk the next day. How frustrated I felt after what I did to Trisha. It taught me a good lesson and I had to pay for it. I decided to go back and apologize to Trisha but it was already too late. Mama Maggie said that she had parked out of her apartment. I just didn't dare to go to her office after I heard that Kaiden Kross was the real owner of her company and he was back to stay. Nobody knew where Trisha was. I tried contacting Stacey, her best friend, but Stacey, not the person to actually go to when you are looking for Trisha after you broke her heart. She didn't help at all. I couldn't even call her mother to ask of her, because I knew that even if Tris
Trisha's POVI am enjoying my life here as it is supposed to be, and I know very well that Kaiden is too. I saw his live post a few weeks on how he was now back on the game with no distractions. Was that actually necessary though? I didn't think it was that necessary for him to come out and say that in public just to get my attention. At least the people did, and they were very happy and encouraging in the comment section.Chantel and I have been best of friends for the past few weeks. At least she was checking up on me everyday, something that Stacey hadn't done in months. Stacey honestly surprised me. All my hope was that she will be the only one checking up on me everyday while I was away, guess the reverse is the case.Chantel always kept me updated on what I was missing at the Mansion. According to her, Kaiden was back to his real self again. I tried very hard not to tell her about my pregnancy or the arrangements I made with Mrs Kingston. Even when we got closure in the past few
Mrs Kingston's POV Nothing is okay. When they say, never believe what you see on the internet, it's real and true. With Trisha out of the picture and Kaiden back to the company, everything is just a mess. Sometimes I wished that Trisha never left, but it is very hard to admit it myself. Kaiden is now a mad man.Just that his madness is not portrayed in all the areas of his life, only in the aspect of Trisha leaving him.He just can't stop obsessing over finding Trisha. He still can't bring himself to move on without her, even when she has clearly moved on. The idea of telling Trisha to at least speak to him on the phone is the hardest to implement. Because he will no longer have time for Chantel, his fiancèe.I know Kaiden very well, from talking to Trisha on the phone, he will track her down and go after her. He will even discover the pregnancy that we have tried so hard to hide, and I don't want that.Chantel is going through a lot with Kaiden, I can't help it. I need to give them c
Trisha's POV As expected, I took myself and my baby to a small island way past the lousy town of New York and out of Kaiden's sight. He wouldn't even guess even in a million years. Tourist come here every now and then, it is just the right place to start a life with my child.I have been on the internet a few times, and I have seen that Kingston Inc. had made four deals in the last two months. To be very honest, I am very happy for them. Seeing them thrive is all the confirmation I need that everything is going great.Stacey has called only once since the past few weeks and I am getting worried. It has barely been a year and she has forgotten about me. At the same time, I don't bother calling her because she didn't pick her calls the last five times I tried. Nobody cares about how I am doing, not even Mrs Kingston.I bought a house close to the beach that is worth 2 million dollars. Of course, Mrs Kingston kept her own side of the bargain, and I used the money to live the life I have
