LIZA POV
The 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 wLIZA 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
LIZA POVWith puffy red eyes and a very exhausted, drained body, I stepped out of the white Mercedes and entered through the glass doors of my turf. The warm greetings blurred to whispers when people took in my wrecked form, but I put on the best smile as I could with an excuse of feeling a little sick; after recovering from a very bad cold.They all nodded with understanding and left me be. Gail came running hot on my heels and joined me in the elevator. She didn’t need to ask anything to know that I was going through a bitch, but she did keep a safe distance for professional purposes until we arrived in my office where we fell in a heap on the floor behind my couch, and she held me close to her chest!“You poor thing.” She called out as she rocked me in her arms!“What is actually going on Elizabeth?” She addressed me with my full name and all I could do was sigh and lean further into her embrace.“I am losing my motherfuckin’ medulla!” I called out our motto w
DAWN POVHaving done with the preparations of the “business” trip to Atlanta, I glanced at my bags and smiled mischievously, then turned to the sound of the opening and door and waited.Anderson waltzed in carrying 5 heavy bags which were all over him with three of them being kicked by him. I looked down and laughed a little, then looked up at him.“You sure are prepared.” I pointed out and he grinned,“As you said, I am your partner in crime. So whatever it is you’re actually going to do there, I don’t really care. As long as I get some time off, from the company work, and you.” He said before eyeing me when the meaning of his words finally settled in. I arched a brow at him and he released a small puff of breath before turning swiftly and then rocked his head side to side.“I mean the work-you, not you as in you in general. You can be fun when you want.” He corrected and then sloshed himself on th
LIZA POVThe check-in was done in haste and as Hunter had proclaimed, the villa was the shit. Everyone had their own private bedroom and the common room aka lounge room was so spectacular it looked like I have stepped into another different world. The architecture and interior design only were one for the books. But what made me weaker in the knees was the round bath in the middle of the monster-sized bathroom inside my private room.It was marbled white without any flaw, with a silver tap hanging just beside it right on the rich flooring. The time I arrived, it was filled with warm water and bubbles and a bottle of wine neatly rolled beside the tub on a small miniature trolley. The candles that were surrounding the tub knocked the air out of me, and before I could do anything, I found myself soaking in it relaxing the life out of me.The tray of freshly prepared fruit salad was there on the bed waiting for me as soon as I stepped out of the water. I don’t know
UNKNOWN POVI looked around for the millionth time to see whether I wasn’t spotted, or to say the least, followed. I spotted the said restaurant from across the street and quickly made my run for it. Before walking through the door, I fixed my hoodie and made sure it was well in place, and then pulled the cap towards my eyebrows, then proceeded to open the door and walked further into the restaurant before slipping into the booth that was at the far end and then sloshed further into the seat; trying to hide my body.“You took your time.” The lady sitting across called out sipping on her wine glass ever so relaxed with no care in this world. I smirked at her before pulling out a document I had in my miniature bag that was strapped very close to me; under my arm, and then slid it across the table where she wasted no time opening it.“I was following orders. Your orders.” I replied pulling her wine glass and taking a big swig before cringing
DAWN POVHaving done with my perfect plan of winning the love of my life back, I smoothed the none existing creases on my pants before taking a deep calming breath, then exhaled through my nose. My hand grasped the handle of the door before I pushed it just slightly, slowly revealing the goddess who was sprawled lazily on the silk white sheets on the bed. Her thick dark curls were now loose, sprawled all over her shoulders and back. She was half-laying half-sitting with a big pillow supporting her back with an iPad in her hand.She sensed my presence and she raised her black eyes which landed on me. She gave me a small smile before refocusing on what she was looking at. I entered the room and closed the door behind me, then cha cha-ed my way to the bed.“Guess what?” I called out in a sing-song pulling her attention on me.“Hmmm?” She didn’t bother looking up, but I wasn’t going to go down without fighting.“Ander an
