LIZA POV
“I see why you shrink from Janelle's presence She’s a little bitch!”I called out as I plopped myself on the bed in Dawn’s bedroom, my eyes roaming all over and taking in every little detail of his bedroom. Being in a room where he grew up made me feel giddy somehow, but I was happy that I got to share with him something of his childhood!His giant frame stood in front of me as he got to his knees and laid his head in my lap.“I am so sorry she treated you like that. I shouldn’t have brought you here.” He said in a small sad voice,“And miss a chance to meet your mom, and see this little heaven in here? No way!” I replied trying to make him feel better. I wasn’t going to allow him to beat himself for having a douche stepmom who was so fake you could literally see the word etched across her forehead.I cupped her head and forced him to look at me,“You are not allowed to feelLIZA POVTime seemed to be having a mind of its own, and before we all knew it, it was right in the heart of summer.The construction of Balu Aquarium Resort was in full swing, and CCR was having the best time of its life. The cooperation between CCR and Blade Inc. made the work ten times easier. Blade Inc. had the manpower, while we had the machinery, and together we were unstoppable. In just 2 months since the construction began, the foundation of the resort was all laid, and the building was beginning to form a clear structure.My relationship, or better to say, my situationship with Dawn was still sizzling hot, and every day became even more hotter and better than the previous one. He had his own business to run, and the times we spent apart aided in building up this anticipation that always exploded whenever we met.It was so thrilling and so relaxing to finally have someone to talk with, someone who knows and speaks your language. He was gleeful and always insi
DAWN POVSomething about the “oh-so redeemed” behavior of Brett didn’t add up. Just some time back I was ready to show him a thing or two and break his nice gold-braced teeth once and for all because he was behaving like a sick fuck, and now he was suddenly so good, even asking for a job from Elizabeth?That didn’t make sense at all.For all I own, he was just a minion in Janelle’s game and I was really fed up with them. I was okay if they were targeting me the whole time; I had a plan to handle them. But now they were coming after Elizabeth, and that was something I wasn’t going to just sit over and watch. They had to know where to draw the line, and since they seemed to be having a problem with all that, I was so glad to offer the help.“We will be landing in 10 minutes sir.” The steward of the jet informed and I nodded at him, then buckled up the seatbelt and braced my ground for the landing.I know Elizabeth told me she had everything in control, and not that I do
LIZA POVDAYS BLURRED into weeks and so did the weeks into months, and Brett proved himself to be worthy of something. Although we were still tat-bit wary after the fiasco that followed his arrival, and how he still managed to mess up so bad in CCR, he later found his passion in event planning and did marvelously in planning some events in the company.But I wouldn’t put that passed him. The way he dressed up just gave him all away! He somehow gave that badass vibe whenever he was in control, and I admired how he loved what he did. Their relationship with Dawn was still somehow cranky, but he was coming around, especially because Hunter was proving himself to be something else. Dawn, however, was convinced that this was one of their schemes with Janelle, and I tried to tell him to tone it down. That maybe Hunter did change for good, maybe he wasn’t what he deemed him to be, or maybe he has been under Janelle the 'check out my crotch' influence for so long
DAWN POV“Submit the proposals to my office by Monday, the latest being 12. Thank you all for your time and the meeting is dismissed.”The sound of the chairs scraping against the floor filled the boardroom as people gathered their paraphernalia and prepared to leave.Ander and I were the last to leave the boardroom and went straight to my office. My mind drifted back to the little woman with curly hair miles away across the country. How was she?“Seriously dude?” Ander called out in an exasperated tone and I halted in my steps and turned to look at him, to find him scrolling like crazy on his phone.“What?”“I was hoping for a boys' night out. But looks like I won’t be getting any!” He said before ushering me to my office and opening the door for me.“Don’t stay up late!” He whispered and winked at me, after pushing me inside and then closed the door behind me. I turned back looking so frustrated and that's when I spotted HER.She was here.
LIZA POVThe flight back to LA was filled with nothing but hysteric weeping and painful sobs. My whole body felt like I had been hit over by a 3000 pound of European metal and my head was so heavy and hot as an inferno from a bad migraine.Whenever the thought of my current situation crossed my mind, it opened flood gates and I cried even harder. I don't know if it was the hormones on something else, but in all my life, I have never felt so helpless, with no plan for the next step. The fact that with each ticking second and each passing heartbeat, the life inside me was booming and that I was planning to end it; it made me feel like a cold-blooded murderer, and I just couldn’t.It was all too much to handle.At the same time, I wasn’t ready. I wasn’t ready to have a baby or whatever crap that came along with it. Sleepless night at the company was one thing, but having to nurse an infant for the whole day and night, with no rest, it w
LIZA POVSitting in the back seat of the black Rolls Royce from the big manor, I watched as the night street view blurred by. The car swerved slowly, stopping at the red lights only to continue gracefully and whoosh through the night.My mind was befuddled and jumbled with all sorts of thoughts. Phoebe’s story had me questioning my decision about aborting the baby, but when I weighed my options and foresaw my future, this baby was either going to be the birth of doom, or… Double doom!And with that being said, I was still glued to my decision of terminating it. I just couldn’t have the baby! At least not now, I wasn’t ready at all!My stomach rumbled loudly for the umpteenth time, and I just cringed before rubbing it gently. That small act reminded me of my current dilemma and I quickly stopped and sighed, then leaned against the headrest.“Should I get you something to eat, President?” Logan called from the driver&
LIZA POVFor the days that followed that tragic night; I allowed myself to feel all the pain while boycotting my phone and almost everything from the outside world. I did call Gain and told her to handle a few things when I drowned all my sorrows in a tub of ice cream under my mother’s embrace. Drogon was also picked up by his vet and I had nothing to worry about; just being lazy and loved it. It felt so good to just let loose, hide from the harsh, cruel sun that reminded you of the harsh reality.The time of my good lazy days eventually came to an end, I couldn’t hide forever when I had a company to take care of, not only that, with a major project going on. Anything that can go wrong there can sabotage my ass so bad it will take me years to recover. Although I loved my days locked in the safety and comfort of my parents’ house, I had to leave and face the world, but most importantly, make a decision with the elephant in the room that was staring at me w
DAWN POVThe drive to the hospital was filled with ringing and deafening silence. All along, I fought the urge to glance at her on the passenger’s seat almost every 2 minutes; and knowing that I was the source of all of this humbled me so much I felt flat!There were times I just dwelled in her embrace and let her carry and suck all the pain from me. There were times I used to sit down and watch as she paroled in front of me, venting her anger and frustrations out to me while I listened and felt deeper and deeper in love with her. There were times where I sat with her in front of my piano in NY or played her favorite songs while strumming on my guitar just to hear her sing along her favorite lines with me.Those were the times I’d sell a fuckin’ kidney to bring them back, or at least to go back then when we were so happy and so in love with each other. Right now, all I could see was everything I built with her slipping through my fingers, and me trying so hard to graspin
