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 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 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 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
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
LIZA POVThe shiny white Mercedes C Class paused in its swift movement when the traffic light turned red, opening the way for the cars on the opposite side of the road to whoosh passed by, clearing the heavy morning rush and traffic of the early Wednesday morning.I looked at my wristwatch which signaled that it was a little before 8 o’clock. Always be punctual!I smiled to myself and stared outside as the light turned green, and the engine woke up again as the driver swerved that car through the morning heavy morning traffic. He took a swift turn to the left and I adjusted my posture in my seat to get a clearer view of what came next!Here it comes...A big smile stretched on my lips when the giant, skyscraping reflective glass building came to sight, the ones beside it leaving room for it to reign freely. Standing 1,100-foot and 73 floors from the ground, CGC Building was the tallest and most majestic building located right at the heart of the
LIZA POV“So we are 8 in my family. And there are 3 sets of twins. Basically, there are just four kids, just that we multiplied and became 8. So I have a twin brother. Hehe! We call him Four because he has four toes on his left foot, which means he has only 9 toes. And guess what they call me?”Alan, Alarm, or whoever this fucker was grinned excitedly from across the table.I picked over the menu card which was my umbrella, gracefully shielding me from the spitting rain that he showered on me non-stop.“Six,” I replied letting out a very weird grin. The menu card didn’t just serve as an umbrella, but it was a shield that hid my super crossed face.“Bingo! They call me Six. I have 6 toes on my right foot. And that means I have 11 toes in total. We like to joke with it that I stole a toe from him when we were in the womb.” He let out a cackle as he happily laughed and began glancing around. He was such a ha
DAWN POVIt has been full 16 years!Almost two decades since she passed on! But my heart clenched every time on this day because it was her birthday. The day she descended from heaven to earth. The mere thought of her made my heartbreak so much I failed to breathe! There was no healing from such pain. The pain of losing your best friends. They say time can heal, but this was a different kind of pain and I couldn’t heal. Even after a decade and a half! No woman on this earth filled the void she left. And it was sad! So sad because there was really no one like her.The iron gates to the mansion slit open and the black BMW slipped through, whooshing towards the mansion which was a good distance from the gate, passing the well-trimmed hedges and trees. The whole yard was buzzing with people and cars, and I felt already suffocated even way before I can step into the crowd. The chauffeur slammed the brakes and one of the servants opened the door, I stepped outside and
