LISTOWEL’S POV

My heart pounded heavily in my chest as I sat in Dr. Holden’s office, anxiety gnawing at me as I waited for the test results.

My gaze was fixated on the laboratory door, each passing second feeling like an eternity as I waited for Dr. Holden to return.

I had arrived here earlier than I thought. Luckily, he had just come to work and was about to start his shift when I walked in.

Since he doubles as the family doctor, he straight up attended to me when I explained to him what had happened.

It's been a couple of minutes since he went in there and I was already losing my patience.

I ran my hands roughly through my hair, imagining how life would turn out for me if it indeed turned out that Wendy wasn't lying.

Suddenly, the door creaked open, and Dr. Holden stepped out with a white document in his hands.

The expression on his face was neutral. I couldn't read to tell whether it was good or bad news.

He pulled his glasses from the pocket of his white coat and put them on.

    LISTOWEL’S POVAnxiety gnawed at me as I rode the elevator leading Melissa’s house. I was practicing in my mind how I was going to break the news to her. I ran my hands roughly through my hair as I failed to remember each rehearsed line. My chest tightened as the weight of guilt pressed on me. No matter how hard I was trying to calm myself; I couldn’t. Each time I imagined how Melissa would react when she comes to know of the truth, my heart skips a beat. As the elevator door dinged open, I let out a heavy breath before stepping out. My hands stayed put by me even as I headed to her door. My mind had suddenly turned blank and it was as if, I wasn’t the same person rehearsing my apology a few minutes ago. My fingers trembled slightly as I streched them forward to tap on the doorbell. Ring… Ring… Ring…There was no response. I repeated it for a couple of times yet the results was same. I darted at my wrist, reading time. It was exactly 10am. Why then wasn’t she at home? She alway

    LISTOWEL’S POV “Alright sir, may I get her apartment number please.” “It is BO16” “Miss Melissa Muggins right?” She asked. I simply nodded after which she picked up the telephone and dialed a certain number. The call went through and for a split second, I was beginning to conclude that Melissa was actually not around when she answered the call. “Hello?” Lisa’s voice sounded from the other line. My heart literally jumped in my throat as soon as Melissa’s voice came on the line. Does that mean she was actually inside but chose to ignore me? Even after the number of times I rang her bell? I could feel a sharp burn in my tummy as I thought, “Could she be that she’s mad at me because I didn’t come home last night or because she’s heard of the reason why I didn’t come? “Hi, Miss Muggins. Are you okay please?” the rep asked in a soft tone. “Yes, I am. Why do you ask?” she asked on the other line and I could sense the confusion in her voice. She must have been sur

    MELISSA’S POV I slightly raised my eyes to peek at whoever was calling me. As soon as my eyes fell on him, I quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe off the tears from my eyes. Hiding my face under the table, I blew my nose and cleaned my nostrils, trying as much as possible to get rid of my messy look. “Miss Muggins? What’s wrong?” Mr. Giovanni asked as he approached my desk, his voice laced with concern. “Nothing’s wrong sir. I think I might caught a fever.” I raised my head off the table and replied with a forced smile. He appeared unconvinced as he stared at me. “I’m not sure this is about you catching a fever…..” he declared. I seemed out of my words because “huh?” was all that I could mutter. “Don’t do that dear. Don’t pretend you’re fine when you’re not.” His voice was gentle as he consoled. He pulled the chair across me and sat on it, fetching for me more paper towels. Blinking back the tears in my eyes, “I’m so sorry for doing this at work sir. It won’t happen again.”

    Melissa’s pov I froze for a second, my eyes scanning at his messy appearance. I couldn't really tell if my eyes were deceiving me or if Listowel had actually left his house to come to work dressed like that! His hair looked like it hadn't been washed for a decade. He looked ravished, his coat was crumpled, and his loose tie hung off his untucked shirt. What’s wrong with him? Why would he step out looking so unkempt like that? This was so unlike him. Without a second thought, I turned off the engine and ran in his direction. “Listowel? What’s wrong with you? Why would you come out looking like this?” I whispered, my hands hovering across his suit as I tried to straighten the crumpled lines. Scanning his whole outfit, I unconsciously reached for his tie and started fixing it up, buttoning up the shirt properly after which I tucked it inside his pants. Listowel stood still, he didn't move nor utter a word, it was only his gaze that followed my movements. I was abou

    GIOVANNI’S POV Seeing Melissa cry her heart out the other day in the office made me want to care for her more. I had offered to walk her to the garage because of the tear stains on her dress. I didn’t want her to attract unnecessary attention and questions from the other staff. At the garage, I was about to head back to the office after waving her goodbye when I suddenly heard a consistent click from the soles of heels behind me. Curious, I turned in the direction of the sound only to see Melissa rushing towards the other side of the garage. My eyes trailed to the direction she was heading and an unsettling feeling washed over me as soon as I recognized who it was. Listowel Gordon. The CEO of Gordon Constructions. Even though he might not know me, I know him very well. We’ve not gotten the chance to meet face to face yet but I’ve known him for a long time. He’s a smart business mogul whom most influential people in Aphrodite City admire. And I am no exception. When it

    MELISSA’S POV It's been almost a month since I broke things up with Listowel. That jerk! After chasing me up for a few days, he gradually backed off. I guess he must have finally realized that I am no bvtch to be toyed with. But I must admit, the past few weeks have not been easy for me. Waking up every day to pretend as if I did not know or had anything to do with him has been heartbreaking. I try to convince myself that he's not worth my time and energy but deep within me, I've been hurting. On lonely nights, I cry my eyes out before I’m able to sleep. There have been days that I felt like calling to cry on him, to tell him how much he hurt me, to explain to him why I didn't deserve all that he did to me; but the fact that I had deleted his contact from my phone had saved me from embarrassing myself. Within the first two weeks, I was unable to concentrate at work; but Mr. Giovanni, already aware of the turmoil in my life, helped to keep me distracted from overthinking. H

    LISTOWEL’S POV I have faced several challenges in my life, from impossible negotiations to dealing with rival businesses but none of them have taken a toll on me as the one that I have been currently battling. This one was the worst kind of battle. Why? Because I was fighting the one person I loved most. And it looks as if there wasn’t any chance of me winning. For the past few weeks, after the event that happened at Melissa all my attempts to get her to listen to me have proved futile. There have been days that I’ve tried to reach her by waiting at her doorstep, but I couldn’t anymore because she reported me to the landlord and now I’ve been banned from entering her residence till further notice. I tried to catch up with her at work but her goddamn boss, Giovanni has had security chase me away several times. Even though it was humiliating, I was willing to endure it all for her. I could have countered Giovanni’s actions by making my men oppose him but the fact

    LISTOWEL’S POV Listowel, do I look stupid to you?” Lisa’s voice jolted me back to reality, anger flashing across her face as she crossed her arms over. My lips parted, and I was about to tell her that she was the smartest person I've ever known and that I was the stupid one there. Because all this was my fault. I was stupid for failing to see the signs of Wendy’s plot when it was so obvious. I couldn't believe how stupid I was to have ignored the fact that, Webdy had seductively rubbed her shoulders against mine that evening. But before the words could part my lips, she grabbed her bag and stood. “You know what? I don't have time for your little games…” I reached for her hand but once again, she pulled away as though I was a plague. I wanted to follow her but stopped. I was going to give her some distance in the meantime. Now that a major part of the puzzle has been revealed, it will take me no more than a few days to find out the whole truth. ********** With a fo

    Wendy’s povI roamed gracefully around the department store as I checked out outfits for the little life growing inside me. Rubbing my hands on my belly, I turned to the attendant standing beside me and asked, “What do you think my baby is going to be?” She giggled to herself before she whispered, “A girl?”.The smile on my face instantly vanished, replaced with a grimace. “Are you dumb? What do you mean by a girl? Do you seriously think a girl can become CEO to a company as big as Gordon Inc!” I snapped, glaring at her from the head to toe. Terrified by my high tone, she panicked and bowed her head severally as she apologized, “I’m sorry ma’am. I didn’t think that you will be offended by that. Please forgive me. I’m sorry”Before I could even react, she went down on her knees, holding my legs as she cried, “please ma’am don’t let them fire me. I need to pay my mother’s medical expenses.” She let go of my legs and started rubbing her palms against each other so hard that if a spar

    LISTOWEL’S POV A deep sense of relief washed over me as I tapped on the send button. A slow grin played at the sides of my lips as my phone started buzzing with notifications again. Yes, they must have been shocked. I doubt any of them expected the ‘high and mighty’ Wendy Macinni will open her legs for a bartender. I mean, it is not bad that she’s with him. But what makes it unbelievable is the fact Wendy thinks highly of herself and looks down on others. It is just unimaginable for her to be with the same people she disrespected. And oh, I don’t even care whether she stays with him or not. What pisses me off is the fact she’s trying all means to trap me. And that’s one thing I will never allow. I’ll rather die than have her carry my child. Even though I still don’t have the proof that she drugged me the other day, I’m certain that the baby she’s conceived is not mine. Now that I’ve got to know she’s not worth my mercies; I’m going to deal with her ruthlessly! She’s alrea

    With my hands crossed over my chest I stood still beside the ceiling to floor glass windows in my office, staring at the landscape of Aphrodite. The fact that I was staring at the landscape beneath me didn’t mean I was admiring it but rather was staring plainly at without having any thoughts of it. My mind was currently a mess and it was swirling with thoughts of the unthinkable. My phone which was lying on the desk behind me was ringing incessantly with calls and notifications from the media houses, relative, business partners and bloggers. Apparently there were news circulating throughout the whole city that the next heir to Gordon Inc has been conceived so they were all reaching out to find out if it’s true. A slow smirk, a chuckle, and then a laugh laughter erupted from my lips echoed throughout my office. Even though the laugh was humorless I couldn’t stop myself from producing it. I laughed and laughed until my chest hurt. I mean, wasn’t it ridiculous enough for them

    The alluring smell of hibiscus drifted through the garden as I sat in my garden, enjoying the breeze. The fine porcelain mug which contained the bitter leaf tea I was sipping swirled gently in my hands as I sipped on it.Placing down the mug, “That rude little brat!” I cursed under my breath. I couldn't believe I almost fell for her lies and actually shipped her to be the next lady of the Gordon Group.Even the thought of her makes my skin crawl. How could she have stooped so low? She really was going to hit me with the wine bottle? Wow! She wants to my grandson with such rotten manners? Over my dead body!Taking in a deep breath, I stood up and made my way into the mansion. I've baked myself enough; the rest of the sunrays has no vitamins.I reached for my phone from the dining table as I realised its been chiming with notifications for a while now. Assuming it was blog notifications, I ignored it. It is like generation only mind other peoples business for a living. There's always

    WENDY’S POVI looked up at Listowel feigning tears, “You can hate me all you want. You can view me as the worst person to ever lived. But don’t forget this Lis. You’re going to be a father, Listowel. You can’t just turn your back on that.” I stated.He glared at me with for a while without uttering a word. His lips were tight, the veins on his forehead popping as if he was going to explode any time soon.He had returned back from downstairs and I could only guess things didn’t go well for him. Melissa must have pushed him away.Good. Now he knows how it feels to be rejected. Feigning pity, I moved my fingers seductively on his chest as I sobbed, “ Come to me. Let’s watch our baby grow together.”The grimace on his face deepened as soon as the words flew out of my lips. “Get your hands off me,” he growled. His low voice sounding more deadly than I anticipated. He looked like he was using all the energy in him to suppress the fury bubbling in his chest but I couldn’t care less. He

    LISTOWEL’S POV My heart jumped to my throat as soon as I saw Melissa by the doorway. She was standing still, her face drained of blood as she locked eyes with me. My chest tightened and I could feel my heart aching badly as I saw her beautiful eyes turn red and then teary. No. She wasn’t supposed to hear this. Not now. Not when I was still unsure if what Wendy was saying was true. Pushing aside my desk, I sprang up to my feet and ran towards her. “Lisa….” I whispered, stretching my hands to hold her still. But before I could touch her, she took some steps back, her bloodshot eyes producing more tears than I could imagine. Her lips parted as she tried to talk but only a sorrowful sound came out. Covering her mouth, she shook her head slowly before turning to her heels. I ran after her but the elevator door closed before I could get in. When I managed to meet her downstairs, she had wiped the tears off her face, her expression hard and serious. Slowly, I approached her, prevent

    WENDY’S POV Early the next morning, I returned to the mansion, the expression on my face that of anger. I was ready to scold my grandpa for his hypocrisy. But upon my return, he had already left for a meeting. He had given the keys to the maids and instructed them not to give it to me. One of the maids dared to challenge me when I demanded the key, infuriating me the more. And yeah, she was fired from working in our mansion that very day. I hate nobodies who tend to act pompous when they get little authority. With the pretense of delivering coffee, I made my way to the guest room. Luckily, Listowel was asleep so I thought to myself that I still had the chance to execute my plan. Quietly, I sneaked into the bed after undressing. My fingers trailed on the green veins lining up on his big muscles and arms. Oh, how I miss the old days! Doing this would have made him curl me up on his chest. A sudden turn he made jolted me out of my thoughts. Slowly, he sat up on t

    WENDY’S POV My heart pounded rapidly in my chest as I made my way out of the restaurant. Luckily, the bodyguards my grandpa had recruited to watch after me were at the scene. They rushed in and seized the phones of the people around, threatening to sue any of them who would post it online. Sitting in my car, I let out a steady breath, trying to calm myself from the embarrassment from earlier. Gazing keenly into thin air, “Madam Gordon, harden your resolve because the next blow that's coming your way could end you paralyzed.” I gritted. Reaching for my phone, I scrolled through my contacts, looking for our family doctor’s contact. I hesitated for a split second before tapping on the green dial sign. This was the only way for me to get the upper hand. The call went through after the ring and Dr. Mensah’s voice came through the line. “Hi…” I breathe out. “It is Wendy…” “Wendy dear, how are you?” he politely asked, even though I hate it when he treats me like we ar

    MELISSA’S POV The clock struck five and it was already time to close. I shut off my monitor and started arranging my desk, bringing the day's work to an end. I grabbed my bag and put in it some accessories before I stood up and adjusted my dress. From the glass windows, where I was checking myself, I could see a blue folder with a stack of documents inside. I let out a gentle sigh as I remembered what I told the owner the other day. I remember telling Listowel that I was gonna give it to a dispatch rider to deliver it to him but there here it was, still lying on my desk as if all the riders in town were on holiday. Well, I changed my mind at the last minute and decided to go give it to him in person. Yes. Yes. I know. I know that seeing him often was gonna disrupt my healing journey but….. I forced a chunk down my guts as I inched closer to pick it up. These documents seem to be important and it'll be thoughtless of me to leave them in the hands of a random rider. Wha
