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 justLIZA 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
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
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
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 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 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
