LIZA POV
Time 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 ladyDAWN 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
LIZA POVAfter hanging up the call with Dawn, I threw a nervous glance to the other side of the jet where Hunter was perched relaxingly in his seat with earphones plugged in and his body moving slightly with the rhythm of the music he was listening to. His eyes were fixed on the outside where he stared out blankly without even blinking. The little movements were the only thing that assured me he was still breathing and pretty much alive. Trust me you’d even prick his eye with a needle and he wouldn’t blind!An exhausted puff of breath escaped my lips as my phone fell on my lap, and my heavy head leaned back until it hit the headrest which felt like some kind of a magical cushion against my tired shoulders and sore neck. It hasn’t been full 24 hours after the explosion, but believe me when I tell you I was filled to the forehead with everything that has happened thus far. Chunk a bucket full of worms written 'I AM JANELLE' across their bodies and all the d
DAWN POVWith my whole being buried in the pilgrimage of saving the company from drowning in the quicksand, time didn't wait for me to catch a breather or just relax, and before I knew it, a whole month had flashed by!Things were so hectic and riotous with the investigations and curbing the loss which resulted from Janelle's melodrama, and all I could manage were small sneaks to LA just to cuddle Elizabeth and breathe in a fresh scent of life she always blessed me with, and I would rather it was pretty maddening. I didn't just want a few hours with her, I wanted my whole life and my every day to revolve around her, and being roped down by something created by that skank made me want to yank my hair from its roots!The little Tigress has grown on me so much that I couldn’t afford to go a day without seeing her, touching her, and feeling her. I don’t know what it is she fed me but I would take it with a damn drum if I had to. And for this whole durati
LIZA POVWith the due date drawing nigh, life became a mission impossible, harder than I had ever hoped for. Moving around became a pain in the ass because of my oh-so sore and painful body and swollen feet. I missed out on a lot of things I found solitude and confinement in because I was so big that I had to be carried around. Imagine being pulled out of the tub after bathing because I couldn’t do it myself! Sucks right?I really had to give up the idea of bathtubs because of the very said reasons. And if I were, to be honest, showers were only fun with Dawn around!And with him still preoccupied with the affairs of Blade Inc. and saving it from the cruel fate that was bestowed upon it by that wingless witch, he really didn’t have time to come pamper me, although my poor man did find and schedule even a few hours to be with me, at least once in a week. It was so humbling to see him trying to squeeze me in despite his busy schedule, and I couldn’t ask for more. With the evident diffi
EPILOGUE3 YEARS LATERLIZA POV“We need to be quick before everyone starts spilling in here looking for us.” Dawn breathed against my neck before his tongue darted out to latch on my earlobe.I moaned in agreement before grinding my hips against his hand that was buried deep inside my panties, despite the heavy bump which was hanging on my front.“I know. But I need to cum first.” I said breathing out heavily as his skilled fingers continued exploring my love lotus, feeling me with so much desire.“I know just a thing to get you to cum.” He commented before scrunching in front of me, then hoisted my heavy leg over his shoulder and delved into my dark valley, tearing a satisfied moan from me. My hands found my sore nipples and I toyed with them through my sheer chiffon dress.His skilled tongue swiped expertly up and down my snatch as his fingers came to assistance. The world seemed to fade and for a moment there, I forgot we sneaked out from the gender reveal party planned for us, to
DAWN POV“ARE YOU SURE THAT IS WHAT YOU WANT TO DO, SON?”My father’s voice boomed from the other end of the speaker. I nodded to no one in particular since I was alone standing on the balcony, just a few minutes before the sun came spilling from behind the horizon.I looked back into the bedroom, on the bed, where an angel was sprawled comfortably with her black curls spread all over the pillow. She had one small, smooth, and velvety hand covering her eyes, shielding her face from the morning sun. I don't know how she managed, but she had to be beautiful even without trying.“I cannot think of the perfect time to do it. And there’s really no one I know who is worthy enough to run it than her.” I replied to my dad and turned back to where I was standing,“Hmmm. If that’s what you want, then okay. I do know that it will be in good hands, and I trust her, just like you do.” He stated, and I could hear the relief in his voice. I smiled to myself and looked down,“Thanks, dad.” “Oh, it’s
LIZA POVTWO WEEKS LATER“AND YOU DIDN’T THINK OF TELLING US WHEN YOU WENT TO GET THE MARRIAGE LICENCE?” Mom seethed from across the table causing the whole table to fall into murmurs of agreement. I looked around at the angry, disappointed faces of my people and felt a little bit of sadness tugging at me. A strong hand sought mine from underneath the table and gave it a gentle, reassuring squeeze, reminding me that everything was alright.“We decided on a whim to get that. We were doing all that needed to be done to save the company.”“And it was my idea,” I added to Dawn’s explanation, eliciting a few disapproving grunts.We were back in Los Angeles and now we were faced with the interrogation of everything that has happened. This all began as soon as we hopped off the plane; my family was waiting at the airport with angry glares. Their main concern was why in the hell did we drag Crystal across the country while she wasn’t even a month old, so we had to cool them down for just a b
DAWN POVIt was over!Good God, it was finally over. I had a full claim over Blade Inc. My mother’s legacy; that was left to her by her parents and ancestors before them. A dynasty that carried the blood and sweat of all the Blades. And it was all thanks to the world’s most badass woman I have ever known.I may have tried to save the company all on my own, reach out to some contacts and use favors that were indebted to me, use all of my connections and Adamson’s, now that he was atoning for his sins. But knowing that Elizabeth went all out and beyond to help save something I held so dear, despite everything I have put her through, was so humbling.It was not a strange fact that I had disrupted her life, and dumped something she wasn’t ready for, because of my greed. My selfishness. Forcing that pregnancy on her was something that made me feel small with every passing day. Although it led to the world’s most beautiful little girl with a head full of thick black curls, the little one tha
LIZA POV“Oh really?”I voiced up softly pulling all the attention to me. The whole focus shifted as my eyes landed on me where I have been seated this whole time rocking my baby in my arms and just minding my own business. I waited until everyone was quiet and handed Crystal to her dad before stepping out of my seat.“W-what? What do you mean? I have all the shares here with me.” Janelle replied from across the room where she was standing. I wasted no time and walked towards her, then yanked the folder in her hand and went through it. This happened with everyone as still as death as they all watched the drama unfolding in front of them,I scanned the document and made a small countdown in my head. Right after I shut the file close, the door slid open, and in came a lady who was dressed neatly in a black office suit, her brunette silky hair pulled tightly in a low bun.The room fell into yet another fit of commotion as she took her place where Gail and Andersen had been standing, poli
DAWN POVThe time was a little after 9 am when the car stopped in front of Blade Inc. headquarters. We were well 7 minutes late but nothing inside of me seemed to be unnerved or let’s say; out of place.I had all the evidence I needed to mask down the bitch and her cabal of snakes that she slithered with, so no one or nothing was fit enough to fill my mouth with a bitter taste.That and the fact that I was holding a jewel in my arms, with my queen by my side. So yeah, that's all about it. Surrounding myself with the people whom I’d walk the line for was all I could possibly need. Even if today didn’t work out like we had hoped, despite all the evidence I had against Janelle and everything needed to claim my rights over the company, I had everything. My wife and my child. That was the only trophy I needed!The door to my right opened and I stepped outside, shielding my sleeping daughter in my arms with her gazillion shawls, and then pulled her closer to my chest. When she was locked an
LIZA POVA BABY! MY BABY!Of all the things I ever dreamed of having; none of them included a living 3.2kg with the world’s greyest eyes and a head covered in the thickest black curls in the world. And to sit here watching as it laid in its daddy’s hold while he cooed softly to it and sneaked kisses all over its being, made me feel like I was kind of trapped in a time bubble or something! None of it felt… real.It has been 10 days since Crystal Star Forbes Bede came to earth and truth be told, I hadn’t really gotten used to the idea of her presence. Mostly because she spent more time in her daddy’s arm than she did in mine. The only times I held her was when I was feeding her or helping bathing her, from then on, Dawn would be all alpha on her not letting anyone even a foot near her!As soon as my tanks broke in that boardroom, the word got out and everyone knew that I had given birth to a baby girl; even though her father didn’t allow anyone near her. The world was happy regardless
DAWN POVAs soon as the words left Gail’s mouth; I swear all the reigns of hell broke loose!In all my life, ever since I descended to this unfortunate earth, I have never felt that kind of panic! Like ever. I was so shaken it was as if the baby would drop at the very instant. And God help me if that happened; I am sure I was going to pee my pants right in front of everyone!After the announcement, all I could think of was getting Liza to the hospital, or somewhere suitable for her to bring our baby to the world. Every word that was said after that all sounded like a hollow stream and everything that happened was blurr. Nothing in this world mattered! Not the riches and the unwavering hatred, nothing!Now here we were, nine hours later in the hospital with her dressed in a long white hospital gown, her big belly pushed outwards with me hugging her from behind. Her tummy was cradled safely in my hands as I tried to lift the weight from her. She was debilitated, definitely out of it and
DAWN POVThe meeting commenced as soon as Elizabeth and I took our respective seats at the head of the table. Cortez and his team had a presentation prepared to fill us in on the occurrences of pre-and post-explosion; and the more he flipped that little remote through pictures and clips containing the evidence of everything that transpired, the more bloated I became. I kept rising further and further in my seat, and Elizabeth’s hand was the only thing that was gluing me down to sanity! Had she not been here, I would have exploded a long time ago and ripped the motherfuckers off their high horses.THAT SON OF A BITCH!I cursed under my breath as I shifted in my seat, my face so stoic I felt like I was going to crack a took from how hard I had my teeth clenched!“Get Hunter here. He has some explaining to do!” I cut off Cortez who was standing in front of the screen, mid-sentence. Ander shot out of his seat and took off with Gail behind him. A smooth hand landed on mine and I looked to
