Jeffrey Cooper POV
Being a single dad and taking care of my kids alone had been very tiring, but at the same time fun. I mean, who would have two lovely daughters and won't be excited to take care of them?
You wouldn't want to know what happened that made me end up being a single dad, but trust me, it was a horrible experience for me that left me wallowing in pain for years.
"Daddy, you said you were going to transfer us from that school, right? When are you going to do that?" Emily, the oldest of twins asked me as I got them ready for school, and I sighed briefly. I have no idea why they insisted that they want to change school.
"I have something to take care of, but rest assured that I will do that when I'm done, ok?" I assured her before I turned to Ella, who was busy scribbling something in her notebook.
"Ugh! Ella, I told you to stop doing that. You are going to get your notebook messed up later," I said to her as I gently took the book from her.
"Daddy, when are we going to see Aunty Aliyah? You promised to take us there, remember?" Ella pouted her lips, and I sighed briefly.
"I'll do that soon," I assured her even though I had no intention of going there anytime soon. I mean, she told me clearly to stay away from her, and even though it was difficult to do, I knew I really had to give her the privacy she demanded.
"Come on, let's go already before you run late," I held their hands and led them out of the room, driving them to school afterward.
As the thought of Aliyah crossed my mind, I sighed briefly and tightened my grip around the steering wheel. In recent years, I've never fallen so deeply in love with any woman, I have never been so attached to any woman like I am to her now, and, sadly, she didn't even want to give me a chance. Maybe she must've been through shit in the past, which I understood very well, but fuck it! I think I'm going to lose my mind later if she kept being like this.
After I dropped the kids off at school, I left immediately, intending to go to the office, but I turned the car halfway after I changed my mind and decided to go see Aliyah. It's not like I wanted to see her, but what was I supposed to do when I missed her so much and wanted to see her beautiful face? I guess I've fallen so deeply in love with her that I couldn't even do without seeing her face.
Since I was close to her street, I turn my car and headed to her house, but just then, I saw her drive out of the compound.
"Where is she going to?" I mumbled, knowing that she must've dropped her daughter off at school already since she always does that like very early in the morning.
I wanted to turn the car and go back to the office, but because I wanted to see her desperately, I decided to follow her. Yes, I know this idea was very foolish, but I really wanted to see her so much.
Following her until she got to a bridge, I knotted my eyebrows together when I saw her step out of the car.
"What is she doing? Is she trying to commit suicide?" That was the first thing that crossed my mind as I saw her heading toward the bridge elegantly. Fear gripped me, my eyes widened in shock as I pushed the door open and stepped out of the car. I watched as she walked over to the rail and leaned over it, and at that time, my heart dropped. What the hell was she trying to do? She is trying to commit suicide and leave her daughter all alone? Who the fuck does that?
"What are..." I was saying, but my voice suddenly trailed off when I saw a young man walk up to her.
"Huh? Who is that?" I asked myself, but could not produce any answer, so I just watched them.
"What do you want from me, Liam?" I heard her ask the man, her voice laced with pain and anger.
"Why did you choose for us to meet here of all places?" The man asked as he looked around, but I'm glad I hid well behind the pole and he couldn't get a glimpse of me.
"Just go straight to the point and stop asking questions, Liam. What do you want from me?" Her voice was a bit hard this time. Although I couldn't see her face since she was standing with her back facing me, but I could tell her expression from the sound of her voice.
"I'm sorry about everything, Aliyah... I'm sorry... Please forgive me," The Liam guy said as he slowly went on his knees, and I pulled a puzzled look, wondering who he is, and why he was pleading with her.
"You are sorry? For what exactly?" She scoffed as she looked down at him.
"For everything... I know I don't deserve your forgiveness... I don't deserve to show my face to you, but can you please give me a chance to..."
"I only came here to say one thing to you, and not to listen to you say those trash to me, Liam. Stay the hell away from me. I don't ever want to see you again, so stop showing your face to me. And you know what? I hate you so much that I want you to rot in the pit of hell," She snapped at him angrily before she turned to leave, but the man stood up and grabbed her hand, and I fumed in anger, and that was all it took me to come out of my hiding place. How dare he touch her?
"Let go of me, Liam," She tried to yank his hand off, but he held her tight that she was starting to feel pain.
"Can you please listen to me, Aliyah... Please just listen to me," He pleaded with her as he kept dragging her, and I finally came out of my hiding place.
"Let go of her, now!" I interrupted them as I walked over to them, and they both looked at me.
"Jeff?" She raised her eyebrows as her eyes slowly widened in shock.
"You won't want me to repeat myself, young man. Let go of her this minute!" I yell at him angrily, trying everything I could to hold back from pouncing on him.
"And who the hell are you?" He scoffed as he finally let go of her arm, and I pulled her behind me.
"You should leave now if you don't want me to call the cops on you. You wouldn't want to be charged and jailed for physically assaulting a woman, right?" I tried to be as nice as I could, but she only scoffed and tucked his hands inside his pockets.
"Who is he, Aliyah?" He turned to ask Aliyah who was now standing beside me.
"Let's leave, Jeff," She said instead before she held my hand and dragged me away.
She stopped once we were out of his sight.
"Why are you following me?" She snapped at me as soon as we were alone, and I almost scoffed. I just saved her. Is that all she's going to say to me?
"Aliyah..."
"Don't do this again next time if you don't want me to call the cops on you, Jeffrey. We are not friends, but just business partners, and you have no right to stalk me. Don't push me," She said to me sternly. The look on her face showed that she was doing her best not to burst into tears.
"Who is he, that guy? Liam, right?" I asked her curiously, and it was as if my question ignited whatever emotion she was holding back, as she burst into tears...

Chapter 5 Jeffrey Cooper I tossed on the bed for the umpteenth time as I tried to gather what happened together, but everything was so confusing. Who the fuck was that guy? Why was she crying when I asked her who he was? Is she ok now? Those were the questions I just couldn't stop asking myself as I finally sat up on the bed, running my fingers through my hair frustratingly. I had no idea how I suddenly became so addicted to her that I get worried about her. She was the first woman I've felt this way for in some years now. I took a deep breath before I stepped out of my room, heading downstairs to the kitchen where I took a bottle of water and gulped down everything. I checked the time before I left the kitchen, and turned out that it was already past midnight. Wow! So I have just been here for the past hours and didn't even sleep? I walked back into my room where I lay on the bed and pulled the duvet to cover myself, finally drifting into sleep. Just when I close

Chapter 6 Aliyah POV "Uncle Jeff is asking me to work in his company. What do you think about it?" I asked Nancy as I drove her home from school at around 3pm. I know you would think that I must be crazy, but I was waiting to hear what my baby has to say about it, which was why I told them that I was going to think about it. She is just a little girl, why would you need her opinion on things like this? What does she know? I know you would ask yourself that, but this same little girl is the only family I have. She has been the one by my side, and trust me, I would always seek her advice in everything I do "Are you going to work as an editor?" She asked me as she looked at me with curiosity written all over. "Not really. According to him, he needs my service to lecture some of the writers in the company to be good at what they do. I think it's going to be in the form of an academy that will be hosted mostly on the website," I explained to her, and she sighed briefly.

Chapter 7 Jeffrey Cooper After spending almost the whole night checking out the books the head of the editorial team forwarded to me for paid social media ads, I was finally able to select a few that would be put up for paid promotion on social media, of which Aliyah was one of the authors. She has been working hard, and trust me when I say her works are good, they really are very good, and just in three months she signed her recent book, she already hit two million views and made not less than seven thousand dollars with just royalties. I love her hard-working spirit. Everything about her is so perfect. When I checked the time and realized that it was already 5am, I knew going to bed was as good as allowing my kids to go late to school, and going late to the office too, so I stood up from bed and left for the kitchen. I took my time to clean the house, and once I was done, I started making breakfast for my kids. By the time I was done making breakfast, I left to wake

Chapter 8 Aliyah POV I met my phone screen light on when I walked back into the room with Aliyah after is bathe her in the bathroom. Picking up the phone and realizing that it was an email from Jaxon's Empire, I opened it and checked the detail, as the realization dawned on me that my appointment with them was supposed to be in about an hour, and guess what? Today is also the Christmas celebration in Nancy's school. Fuck! What am I going to do? "Is everything alright, Mom?" I guess Nancy saw how I was staring at my phone, and she asked me. It was important for me to be at her school, and also important to be in the company. I can't leave either of them, and I'm hell-as confused right now. "Not really. I just got a call that I need to show up at Jaxon's Empire. I think we are going to close the deal today, and I need to be there. I also need to be with you at school. What should I do?" I whined as I slumped on the bed and ran my fingers through my hair frustratingly.

Chapter 9 Nancy stood in the school compound and stared at the gate that was wide open as many cars kept trooping in. The celebration was soon going to start, and her class was going to be the first present, and here she was all alone, waiting for her mom without any hope of her coming anytime soon. "Mommy, where are you?" She was almost in tears as she muttered those words. "Hey, Nancy," She turned to see one of her classmates, Elizabeth standing and holding hands with a tall man. The man was graced in a black suit, he has a shade of blue eyes, raven hair, curved jawline, and with the slight resemblance between him and the little girl, Nancy didn't need anyone to tell her that the man was her classmate Dad. "Hey," She replied to Elizabeth before she turned to stare at the gate again. "This is my Daddy, Nancy. Isn't he cute?" Hearing this from Elizabeth, she bit her bottom lip before she turned to face them with a smile lingering on her face. "Yes, he is. Good

Chapter 10 Aliyah POV My heart sank into my stomach when I heard Liam's voice from the other end, and I sprang up to my feet as my eyes narrowed in shock. "What do you want?" I asked him angrily. "I found Nancy here all alone, so I thought to keep her company. She is being bullied by her classmates," Hearing his voice made me feel guilty for leaving her, but the guilt soon dissipated into anger and I felt like strangling him. "I'm warning you, Liam. Stay the hell away from my child, now! Get the hell out of there!" I yelled at the top of my voice, not minding that I was in the middle of staffers here in the company. "Since you are not here yet, I'm going to keep her company for now. Don't worry, my lips are sealed. I won't say a word to her," With the way he whispered, I needed no one to tell me that she must be there with him. "Is that Mommy?" I heard her voice, and I gasped sharply as I covered my mouth with my palm. "Yes, it's her. Do you want to sp

Chapter 11 Jeffrey Cooper I couldn't help the excitement that filled my heart, waking up this morning and realizing that Aliyah would be resuming work today. Although we won't be staying in the same office, at least, she would be working in my company, and I'll get to see her whenever I wanted to. All I would have to do is to go see her in the office, then we are good. Since Ella and Emily now have a nanny to take care of them, my workload here has reduced, so I have only been focused on getting myself ready for work, and dropping them off at school before I leave for the office. As said by my mom, she sent the twenty-five years old Sunshine to work as my maid. Well, so far, she wasn't bad, but I haven't trusted her with my kids entirely. I was still being very careful around her, to avoid the story that touches the heart. 'If anything happens to my kids, you are going to see the ugly side of me. You can't touch a strand of their hair, you can't make them cry. If they

Chapter 12 Jeffrey Cooper The rest of my day in the office was boring since I couldn't just stop thinking about Aliyah. Her image kept popping up in my head every damn minute, and I needed not to be told that I was madly in love with her, and would probably lose it anytime soon. As I reclined on the chair while wondering what I was going to do to get her, my phone started ringing and I answered the call immediately, realizing that it was Sunshine. What's she calling me? I asked myself as I held the phone to my ear. "What is it, Sunshine?" I spoke on the phone as soon as I answered the call. "Sir, what should I make for dinner? I forgot to ask you before you left earlier. I already went to pick the kids from the school. They closed earlier than usual today," Her voice sounded from the other end, and I glanced at the wall clock before I rubbed my fingers on my forehead. I was supposed to leave the office in ten minutes to pick the kids up, so how come she went there

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.

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

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

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

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

Chapter 110Sunshine POVMy heart pounded hard against my chest as I stood in front of the door. My hands were sweaty, and beads of sweat formed on my forehead. Am I ready for this? 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. You are not a coward, so you should go for what you want," I sai

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
