Mommy, Can Jordan Be My Daddy?

Anushka's P.O.V. Being one of the most successful women in the country comes with its perks. At age twenty-four, I'm a millionaire with a successful business. People say I had everything handed to me, but that isn't true. My father's business was failing, and I gave him an ultimatum. Let me take over, make me the majority shareholder, and I'll turn it around. If he didn't, I would let it fail and start my own business. It may sound cruel, but my dad is a chauvinistic jerk who thinks a woman's place is in the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant. As soon as I took over, the business began doing well. I kicked my dad out and gave him the same severance package he had given the women in the company when he laid them off: nothing. My mom died when I was thirteen, and I had no siblings, so it was just me and him until I went to college. Luckily, I graduated high school early and began college at sixteen. I graduated with my master's degree in business at nineteen. You would think that would

Jordan's P.O.V. I can't believe how this day is turning around. I may have been poisoned just for being a tourist, but look what happened afterward. I was saved by two angels. I came to the island to get away from the stress of New York's hustle and bustle. The last relationship I was in ended badly. I'm finding that being young and wealthy brings out the leeches. I thought Cora was a good person. However, she showed her true self when I started denying her extra money. I kicked her out and haven't spoken to her since. That was six months ago. I haven't been looking for a woman to get into another relationship with. It's too draining to find out who wants to be with me because they like me or because they like my money. I could immediately tell that Anushka was different. She has no idea who I am, and her don't mess with me attitude is refreshing. I have a feeling she would have left me on the beach if it wasn't for Dakota. That little girl is a ray of sunshine. I haven't b

Jordan's P.O.V. I know it's way too fast, but I can't help it. With Dakota on my shoulders and Anushka's hand in mine, I feel whole. I've heard of love at first sight, but I never believed it was real. Is it possible to fall in love with not only a woman but her child as well? When Dakota asked if she could call me Daddy, it made me happier than I'd been in a long time. Again, I know it's wrong to allow myself to feel so attached to them when after these two weeks on the island, Anushka may not want anything to do with me. I will just have to work that much harder to win her heart. "How are you feeling? Any side effects from the poison?" Anushka asks as we walk. I feel like a fool, but I've been so swept away by her and her daughter that I forgot all about being poisoned. "I feel okay. I better look at those pills and see when I'm supposed to take them again." I pull the bottle out of my pocket, and Anushka takes them from me. She reads the label and sticks the bottle in her po

Corbin’s P.O.V. I can’t believe I let them get away. I didn’t think they would be in the same room. I figured I could get to Jordan first and then get Anushka and her daughter. Now they’re gone. Whatever hotel they’re staying at won’t be as accessible, I’m sure of it. I just have to be smarter. If they're going to the New Year celebrations on the beach tonight, it will be the ideal opportunity to get to them as there will be hundreds of people around. When my phone rings, I ignore it. Why did I agree to help this asshole? I don’t understand why he has a problem with Jordan or Anushka. He doesn’t tell me anything. All he does is give me orders. Well, this is the last time. After I kill the three of them, I’m done. As the sun begins to set, I head to the beach to wait. Three dead bodies are the price of my freedom and tonight I will get my freedom.______________Anushka’s P.O.V. We ordered pizza for dinner and it was okay, but not as good

Jordan’s P.O.V. How could this happen? Dakota was holding both of our hands and then she was gone. It was less than three seconds. Anushka is a mess and I’m right there with her. I never thought someone would take Dakota. I really thought whoever broke into our rooms was looking for me or it was just random. Why would they take Dakota? “Mommyyyyyy, Daddyyyyyy.” We hear Dakota’s scream and turn to run in that direction. People are everywhere. I finally see her standing alone but she has blood on her dress. Anushka picks her up and holds her tight as she cries. “What happened sweetheart? I was so scared.” Anushka says. She turns away from me when I put my hand on her shoulder and my heart breaks. I hope she's not blaming the fact that we were kissing for what happened. “A man grabbed me, but I remembered what you said, Mommy. I bit his hand really hard, and it was nasty, but he yelled and dropped me. I screamed for you guys
