Chapter 76

Aliyah POV

Jeff didn't speak to me all through the day, and it was frustrating, but I never bothered to ask him what happened because I know exactly what is wrong with him. I would also be angry seeing my boyfriend being like that in front of his ex-wife, so I shouldn't feel sad. We couldn't go on our date the other day, all thanks to Liam.

'Let's start all over again' I scoffed unbelievably when those words echoed in my head for the fifth time today. I couldn't concentrate at work.

How time flies, it was finally lunchtime, and I was expecting him to send me lunch today, but sadly, he didn't, so I gave up. He didn't text me to check on me like he used to do, and although it hurts, I couldn't blame him for it.

"You should go talk to him, Aliyah, and maybe apologize to him," I made up my mind, then stood up and headed to the canteen where I got lunch and headed to his office. I planned to have lunch with him later.

His secretary allowed me into his office freely without ask

    Chapter 77Aliyah POVThe rest of my day at the office although was a bit boring, I was glad I made up with Jeff. The company has finally closed, and just when I was getting ready to leave, the door opened and Jeff walked inside."Are you ready to go home?" He asked me as he sat on the chair across from me, and I nodded my head."Hmm. I'm getting ready to leave. What about you? Are you going home too?" I asked him as I arranged my phone and charger inside my handbag."Not really. I need to see someone on my way home, so I'll be back pretty late. It's kind of an appointment," He replied to me, and I slowly nodded my head. I tried not to question him even though I was curious to know who he was going to see. I shouldn't be a freak just because he's my boyfriend, right?"Do you want me to get you something on my way back?" He asked me, and I thought about it for a while before I shook my head."Just come home early so we can watch a movie together," I smiled at him, and he nodded his he

    Chapter 78Liam POVI guess I made the right decision, leaving everything behind and starting all over again. Although it didn't seem like it was working smoothly, I still liked the flow of it. Having her around me makes me excited and I could notice how fast my heart beat whenever I saw her smile. I wished I could stop time from moving, so I could be with her forever, but that's the tiniest of the impossible things that can be done by humans.We finally arrived at the restaurant where I already booked a reservation before we got there. The place was nice and they had expensive and delicious meals here which I was sure she would enjoy."We are here," I announced when I pulled over at the parking lot of the restaurant. I quickly went to get Nancy from the backseat."Look at you... Your hair is messed up," I pouted my lips, squatting in front of her and arranging her hair for her, and she blushed."You are so nice, Daddy. I'm glad for choosing you as my Daddy. Don't worry, you are going

    Chapter 79Jeffrey smiled as he watched Marcus eat slowly, picking on his food. After he found out why his beloved brother has been like this for years, he has been trying to get close to him again and make him feel safe with him like he used to, and so far, it has been working."Why are you staring at me like that? You are going to make my skin crawl," Marcus rolled his eyes as he dropped the spoon he was using to eat."Don't mind me and just eat your food," He replied to him, and he scoffed."How am I supposed to eat comfortably when you are busy staring at me? You are not even touching your food? Ugh! I feel like disappearing from here," Marcus complained."I shouldn't have hung out with you in the first place. You are always full of annoyance," Marcus further complained, but deep down, nobody was enjoying this more than the way he was. It felt like hanging out with a woman he was madly in love with. How much he has missed this so much in recent years. Although, they have still hun

    Chapter 80Aliyah POVI woke up with my body stiff and tired, so I stretched myself and did a few exercises which worked, anyway. I picked up my phone and checked to see a text from Liam displayed on the screen, and I couldn't help the scoff that tore through my throat. This was getting out of hand. I already told him times without numbers that I got a boyfriend now, but he still won't stop disturbing me.'Good morning. Did you sleep well? Just checking up on you. We should hang out with the kid again later if you are not busy. Have a great day ahead, and remember that I'm still going to work hard to get us together' I scoffed and rolled my eyes after reading through the text over and over again because it looked so ridiculous and annoying. I shook my head and deleted the text before tossing the phone on the bed. Looking to the side of the bed, I sighed briefly. I know I've hurt Jeff with what I did yesterday, but it wasn't my fault. I had no idea he called me, and it was also my fau

    Chapter 81Aliyah POV"Mommy, can we go now?" Nancy asked as she scurried up to us, and I turned to find her holding her small bag."You can go ahead with him. I'm not feeling too well. I'll be at home," I replied to her, then turned to go inside, but I stopped on my track when I found Jeff standing at the doorway and looking at us. Shit! I thought he already went out.I watched as he walked toward us, and I wondered what he was up to. He soon got to where we were standing."Je... Jeff. I thought you went out already," I stuttered, but he pulled me close and claimed my lips. I froze on the spot. He kissed me slowly and tenderly, biting my lips. He didn't care that Nancy or Liam was around us, and although I know this is not right for us to be like this in front of the kids, I allowed him to do it. I didn't want him to think that I was pushing him away because of Liam.He pulled away from me, and I was so scared or ashamed of looking at Nancy who was staring at us as if she just saw a

What about your daughter? Does she live here too? Do you have probably a girlfriend or a wife?" She bombarded me with questions as I led her toward the entrance door, but I just smiled and shook my head."I live with my Mom. My daughter is not here yet, but she's going to be here soon, and girlfriend? I haven't had one in six years. Wife? Well, I had one six years ago, but got separated and I'm trying to get her and our baby back now," I explained to her, and her face dropped sadly and she stopped walking."Are you ok?" I asked, squatting in front of her worriedly."Does that mean you are not going to marry Mommy if you are getting back with your wife?" She pouted her lips sadly

I've always thought the night was short, but in this situation, I realized that the night was never short, but instead, it was longer than the day. Maybe I was the one feeling that way, who knows?The time seemed to slow down, and it only got more boring and frustrating.

I haven't been a good girlfriend to him, I've done nothing but hurt him, and I couldn't help this guilt that kept trying to consume me. No matter how much I tried to pretend nothing happened, I always ended up fooling myself because things were really happening.I wiped the tears that streamed down my cheeks as I stood in the bathroom and stared at my reflection, but more kept coming and I couldn't even get rid of it. How did we get here? How did my life become this messy? This is the question I've been asking myself each day that passed by but couldn't ever find the right answer to, and it was driving me nuts.I washed my face and cleaned it, walking back into the room. I found Jeff already in the room, and my heart skipped. I was now scared of facing him, I was feeling uncomfortable being around him because of the guilt that wouldn't stop eating me up.

I was finally going to get married to Liam, and I didn't have any regret neither am I regretting the decision I made weeks ago. We were having a big wedding at the villa."Mommy, we should start going already. We can't keep Daddy waiting," Nancy whined, and I rolled my eyes. Does she only care about her Dad? I was soon done with everything, so I left with Nancy and the make-up artist who came to dress me up. My driver drove us to the villa in the decorated car.My heart pounded hard against my chest, my hands were sweaty as he drove us to the villa. Although I was excited about this day, I was still nervous.As if Nancy read my nervousness, she held my hand and smiled at me.The drive to the villa was brief and we were soon there.

Coming back to them was a hard decision, but I'm glad I made and stood by it. I'm glad that I never gave up, and even when I did, I'm glad fate brought us together again, but too bad that we may not spend enough time together this time."It's OK, Liam. Just cherish the rest of the days you have with them and take the sweet memories to your grave and live by them in the hereafter," I said to myself, but if only it was easy, wouldn't I be grateful to my maker?The door opened and Aliyah walked inside. She smiled and came to hug me from behind, and my heart skipped. I love the way she makes me feel."Let's stay like this. Just for a moment," She whispered, resting her head on my back, and I smiled.

    Chapter 114Liam POVMy heart beat rapidly against my chest, and as I kissed her, I wished this moment last forever. How much I've missed this moment so much, just how much I've been wanting to do this again, and now that I have her in my arms, my lips on hers, my tongue exploring her mouth and fighting for dominance, then all I wanted at the moment was for this to never end.I pulled away from her when we were breathless. I held her face in my palms, those sexy eyes piercing into mine and it felt like she was seeing right through me. Something I loved. Is she really mine? Will nothing ever come in between us again? I asked myself, but recalling that death would soon come knocking at the door and I would eventually have to give in to it, I scoffed silently. Can't I be given another chance? Why the heck does this have to happen to me now that I finally have her by my side? I asked myself, but my thoughts were disrupted when she leaned forward and pecked my lips, her eyes piercing into

    Chapter 113Two weeks onAliyah POVHow time flies? It has been one week since Liam got discharged, and I've been by his side since then even though he never liked the idea and kept pushing me away. I know I deserve it, anyway. I thought I was doing everything for my daughter, but over the last weeks since I've spent most of my time with him, I've come to realize how much of a changed man he is. I've come to realize that although I lost feelings for him in the past, a part of me still has a twinge of feelings for him. A part of me wanted to work things out and stick around with this man for the rest of my life, and that is what I've decided on."Why are you smiling, Mommy?" Nancy's voice pulled me out of trance, and that was when I realized that I was smiling."Me? Nothing much. Just thought of something," I smiled again, and then she leaned forward and smiled too."Mommy, is it about Daddy?" How she was able to guess so fast was amazing, and the wide smile on her face when I nodded m

    Chapter 112Marcus POVTears brimmed in my eyes as I stared at her. I couldn't deny the fact that I've missed her so much. I mean, I was just seeing her again after several years. I thought I hated her, but seeing the tears in her eyes and how vulnerable she looked, I didn't know what I felt anymore. I didn't know if this was still hatred or if this was me missing her all this while."Mom has been through a lot. She has tried to reach out to you severally but you cut her off completely. You didn't want to see her...""And why the fuck should I see her? Do I have any reason to?" I turned to face Jeff who was already on his feet. "Are you blaming me now for being like this when it's obvious whose fault this is? Are you saying that this was all my fault when it's clearly not?" I scoffed unbelievably. I didn't want to shed a drop of tears in front of her, but I couldn't hold it back anymore."Does she deserve to be called a mother when all she ever did was hurt me?""Marcus! Mind the way

    Chapter 111Marcus POV"You should tell her how sorry you are and get back together. You are still in love with her, so don't hold back," Jeff tried to sound as much convincing as he could. He has been on with this for the last few days, trying to convince me to get back together with Chloe, but there's no way I was ever going to agree to that. She won't ever forgive me for treating her like that in the past, so what was the point of trying?"Ugh! Are you going to keep being like this?" I whined frustratingly."I shouldn't have told you about it in the first place," I further complained, and he scoffed."You are crazy, Marcus. You know I was never going to give up trying. Just give this a chance before it's too late.. ""It's already too late, Jeff. I told you what happened between us. I ditched this lady for no reason...""You were not mature then. You were scared of taking responsibility for your relationship, and now you are mature enough to handle things. Why don't you at least tr

I asked myself to be sure of what I was about to do, but at this point, I needed to get this off my chest and be fine. I would continue to suffer in silence if I were to keep hiding this."Let's go for this," I whispered, reaching for the doorknob, but I removed my hand immediately and stepped away from the door. What if I get rejected? What if he ends up throwing me out of his house? Where will I go from here? For an abandoned orphan without a family who has been living years of her life in a rough phase before I got a chance to be here, I didn't want to leave this place because that would mean that I would have to go back to the street which may not be favorable for me again like it was before."It's fine even if you get rejected, Sunshine.

    Chapter 109Liam POV How did we get here? I asked myself the same question I've been asking for the last six days that I've been here. How did I suddenly get diagnosed with brain glioma? I never felt like something was off with me, so how the fuck did I end up like this after getting drunk just once.That day, I was so frustrated and I thought maybe having a few glasses of alcohol at the bar would help clear my head, but that seemed to be the biggest mistake I ever made in my life because I've been regretting it. Who knows, maybe this would've been avoided if I hadn't gotten drunk. At least, that's what I thought, but have I stopped to think about when this has been there? 'You have just eighteen months to live' I scoffed as the Doctor's words replayed in my head, and I slowly tightened my fingers around the window frame while staring out of it.The sound of the footsteps in the room pulled my attention, and as the familiar perfume filled the air, I didn't need to look to confirm th

    Chapter 108Aliyah POVI placed my palm on his forehead after I removed the damp towel from it, and I was glad that his temperature had come down, unlike earlier when it was so high.I carefully dropped the bowl on the ground and pulled the duvet to cover him, but he held my hand, stopping me from doing it, and I was forced to look at him for the first time since I'd been avoiding his gaze since he woke up."I'm fine. I will take care of it," It's crazy how he was still able to claim he was fine even after all the pain he had been through. How he was still trying to hide the obvious. Is he trying to act like he is strong or what?"It's fine," I muttered and pulled the duvet to cover him."Are you ok? Are you hungry? Do you need me to get you something to eat?" He must have felt weird by the way I suddenly started to treat him, but everything I was doing was genuine. I feel bad for him for being in this situation. "Hmm. I'm fine," He replied to me blankly, and I slowly nodded.I sat o
