LIZA POV
The 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 knowUNKNOWN 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
LIZA POVTime flew by after our reconciliation, and before I knew it, the whole world knew I was pregnant because I was heavily big.One minute I had this little fist-sized baby bump and the next thing I knew, my tummy stretched to a size of a giant watermelon. I was tremendously shocked by the rapid change in my body. But I do guess it came with the fact of accepting the whole pregnancy thing and just being good with it, flowing with the flow. And boy!!!It was crazy!Everyone in the company was crazy and thrilled about it. Every time I was in a meeting, ladies wanted to have a little touch of my bump, although I allowed it for some time, it became too much and I saw how alpha Dawn became whenever people came too close to me. He was practically a human shield, which was protecting me against the hands of curious anticipating ladies and everyone. So I went along with him.My whole wardrobe had changed as well, from classic, elegant, and chic lady
DAWN POVThe comforting whirr of the turbines against the soft humid air of summer dusk, right after the sun had just set over the horizon, resonated around the entire jet as it stretched above the milky orange clouds, creating a very peaceful, calm, and very lulling environment.A long soft moan came out from the end of the couch where we were seated in the lounge area, with tiny swollen feet in my lap as I massaged and kneaded them gently. I added some pressure on the swollen ankles and looked up, to find her eyes literally rolling into the back of her head.“Like it much?” I inquired twisting her foot slightly, eliciting yet another moan,“You have noooooo idea…” She sang as she leaned back and left me to my work.We were on our way to Florida. I really didn't think it would be that easy to get her out of her office, surprisingly, she just agreed without firing millions of questions my way. I guess somehow she knew she needed a break from everything.The pregnan
DAWN POVLast night had been a little tat-bit interesting! If not crazy!The divulgence that Elizabeth dropped on us before excusing herself as if nothing happened turned the whole manor upside down. My father screamed at Janelle demanding answers if Hunter was really his son, although she insisted he was, she couldn’t really keep up with the three angry testosterone breathing down on her. So her tongue slipped and she ended up saying what she shouldn’t have!And after that, I didn’t even want to stay any longer!A sense of relief I have never known had washed over me so calmly, knowing that the chances of kicking her out of this manor were high. I had climbed to my bedroom with a waltzed in my steps, and when I arrived, I had hugged my woman and dozed off, while the rest of the house raged and glasses and brooms greeted each other in the air! Although I could hear screams coming from the first floor, I did sleep soundly, and peacefully!Th
LIZA POVThe scenery blurred into nothing as the Rolls Royce swerved swiftly and smoothly through the heavy and dense morning traffic. My mind was reeling and running a mile per second as I tried to find all the possible reasons as to why, and how such an accident occurred in the first place.The tension and turmoil raging inside me were seen at the rapid bouncing off my knee, which traveled to my fingers that were tapping hurriedly yet softly on my belly. I needed to stay calm, I had to stay calm to deal with this situation.I peeled my eyes off the window and glanced at my companion on my side, who was painfully quiet. He seemed to be lost in very deep thought and I knew better than to disturb him. For a chatterbox like Hunter to be so quiet and still, meant nothing was really merry and okay! A pang of guilt stabbed me in my chest when I realized I might have added to the situation.Although it was bad, I am glad he was on the way to discovering the truth
DAWN POVArriving in New York, the drive to the company didn’t take an eternity like always! My mind was occupied with one thing only: saving the whole drama! Just the thought of what had happened left a bitter taste in my mouth and made my stomach churn painfully! I knew damn well what this may mean to me, and I wasn’t going to go down easy!It may have not been a foreign fact to everyone that I was the only heir of Blade Inc., but that knowledge alone wasn’t enough to stop the hungry power-starved hyenas from drooling and lusting after everything that was left under my control by my mother and her parents and ancestors before them. I was well aware of how some of the higher-ups carried themselves around me, and how they disregarded me as a nothing, instead of their boss!I know it wasn’t something to fear, especially because THIS was inside the business world! And as Elizabeth says, this world is cruel, messy, and full of schemes that w
DAWN POV“Why in the world would she do something like that?”Adamson intoned in a clipped voice full of suppressed emotions. It didn’t take an idiot to hear the pain he was trying so hard to keep down. As much I resented the simple idea of it, he still was my father, and I had his blood coursing through my veins, thus there was nothing he was going to do to fool me. The feeling of betrayal and heartbreak hovered above him like a cloud of bad omen, and it was so evident even if he tried to put up a strong façade!I slowly helped him down and walked from him with my eyes still glued to the screen which was full of articles written about me, my dad, my family!And the comments were sickening!It was sad how the public by swayed by just a bunch of honied words and then they were full mode aggressive and ready to tear everything down, without actually knowing the whole story. And the fact they didn't even give a shit was just
