Allison's POV

A mix of emotions swirled through me as I folded my clothes into my luggage.

Doing so made me realize that I basically had nothing, as more than half of my clothes had been bought by Leo when I moved in here.

Sighing, I packed the rest of my clothes and dumped it into the open luggage, my heart hammering against my chest, as I recalled the happenings of the day before.

So Leo was truly getting married, and within such a short time span.

As much as it hurt to dwell on it, I couldn't help but wonder who his bride to be was.

I knew she was probably from a wealthy family like him, and also pretty and smart too, unlike me.

Come to think of it, Leo was right. I mean, we both came from different social classes and we also lived totally completely different lives, so there was no way he could have liked me.

I was just a plain nobody, who wasn't even up to his social hierarchy.

I was fatherless, as my dad had passed away in a car accident when I was an infant, thus my mum had to

    Allison’s POVI woke up to blinding rays of the sun diffracting through the window panes onto my closed eyes.Groaning, I squeezed my eyes open just as a wave of antiseptic smell filled my nostrils, causing me to sit up with a start.It was then I realized that I was in the hospital, lying on a hospital bed, with a IV drip attached to my wrist.“What happened?” I asked rhetorically, my throat awfully dry and sore.It felt painful to speak, swallow or do anything related to opening my mouth, so I just settled on looking around me, trying to remember how I managed to end up here.As I massaged the throbbing blood vessels at my temples, recollection struck me, and I instantly remembered everything–ranging from how Dr Swan had called me, to how she had given me the news of my mother's death.“No,” I croaked, trying to rip the cannula off my wrist. “This can't be.”A knock came on the door then but I ignored it. Moments later, Dr Owen walked in with another doctor, who was clutching a note

    Allison’s POV “Welcome to my humble abode, babes,” Tasha said, as she unlocked the door to her apartment. “I hope you don't find it too stuffy.”“Stuffy?” I huffed, surveying the warm beauty of the minimalistic aesthetic of the room. “This is gorgeous and elegant not stuffy. You did a great job on the decor.”“Right? My fiancé also helped. He owns an interior I decoration company.” She explained, to which I nodded in understanding.“That explains it then.”I was finally in Canada, and I couldn't help but wonder what the future held for me and my baby.Yes, I had eventually decided to keep it, as I couldn't bring myself to get rid of something that was growing inside me.“Once again, thank you so much for your help and kindness, Tasha. I really appreciate it. You saved my life and I will definitely repay you soon.” I vowed, and she smiled.“When will you stop thanking me, Allie? It makes me feel like we're strangers. You are my best friend and I'll always have your back no matter what

    FIVE YEARS LATER Leo’s POV “Congratulations on your wedding, bro,” I said to Liam, as I pulled him into a hug. “Both you and Alicia are perfect for each other.” “Thanks, man,” He responded, slapping my back affectionately. “Don't worry, you will also find your love very soon. Sooner than you expect.” I huffed but nodded anyway, because deep down inside by heart, I knew such thing would never happen because I had pushed the only woman that I'd ever loved away. The woman who had diligently loved me that I had disregarded as nothing but a prostitute. I couldn't believe I was saying this but I truly missed Allison and wished I could turn back time to undo all my mistakes. “Let me leave you to get ready. I will see you at the wedding.” I said. “By the way, you look good, bro.” “Thanks, bro.” Liam darted me a smile, which I returned before exiting the room. We were currently in Barcelona for his and his fiancée's wedding. They had both met in Spain and had dated for about t

    FIVE YEARS LATERAllison’s POV“I wonder why the CEO suddenly called an emergency meeting,” Tom, my colleague and the leader of the finance team uttered, as we both stood in the elevator.“Hopefully it's for a good reason because this has never happened in the past three years.” I replied, to which he sighed.“I know right. I hope so too,” He said, just as the elevator screeched to a halt. “Let's go.”Walking into the conference room, we saw Mr Isaac Sanders, the CEO conversing with his secretary who was typing fastly into her MacBook.Tom and I were the first team leaders to arrive at the meeting.“Good day, sir,” Tom and I greeted in unison before taking our seats.“Good day,” He responded, just as the other team leaders sauntered into the room, and greeted him.After everyone was seated, Mr Isaac cleared his throat and began.“Good day, everyone. I'm sorry for the inconvenience that this emergency meeting may have caused you all, but I just want you to know that it's for the sake o

    Leo’s POV“Safe travels, dear,” Mum said, as I pulled her into a hug. “Take care of yourself and don't forget to call me the moment your jet lands, alright?”“Alright, mum.” I nodded, pressing a kiss to her cheek, before we disengaged from the hug.Dad hugged me next; a brief, side hug followed by a firm clap on the back.Ophelia gazed at me, arms folded across her chest, as I opened my arms. “Are you like going to stay there permanently or what?”“Enough with the question. Give me a hug.” I huffed, to which she scoffed then grinned and ran into my arms.“Be good to mum and dad,” I said, caressing her jet black hair. “Why are you acting as if I'm a kid? Jesus, I graduated college already, I'm a big girl now, Leo. I don't know how many times I have to remind you.” She uttered, and I chuckled before letting her go.“That doesn't matter. You will always be my baby.” I said, and she rolled her eyes, as my assistant returned with two men to carry my luggage into the private jet.Ophelia h

How was I supposed to get a new job within a short timeframe?I had also resolved against telling Tasha that I had encountered Leo today because I thought it was unnecessary. After all, I had resigned and didn't intend on ever seeing him again.“Oh, great heavens,” I exhaled heavily, gently massaging the throbbing blood vessels at my temples, just as I heard someone clear their throat beside me.“A dollar for your thoughts?” A deep voice came from beside me, forcing me to flap my eyes open with a

    Allison’s POV“Hi, babe,” Tasha said, as she stepped into the children's ward. “I got food for you.” She motioned to the plastic bag in her hold.Earlier today, Aiden was transferred out of the ICU to the pediatrics ward.“Thank you,” I managed a smile, and made to set the food aside only for Tasha to shake her head in negation.“Eat that food, Allie. You haven't eaten for the past twenty four hours. Do you want to fall sick too? Do you think Aiden would be happy to see you like that?”“But I'm not hungry.” I sighed, placing the plastic lap on my lap, as I stared at my son's sleeping form on the bed.Upon getting to the hospital yesterday, I was informed that his heart disease had worsened, and that the pacemaker in his heart had also been removed and replaced with a newer one.But that wasn't the only thing, the doctor also told me that they would run some tests on Aiden to deduce how to permanently curb his symptoms, so he could properly enjoy his childhood, instead of spending it t

    Leo’s POV“And you are certain you didn't hallucinate the whole thing,” Liam's voice boomed into my ears. “Cause it's quite surreal.”I was telling him about how I had finally seen Allison, and how she was one of my employees, well, former employees, given that she had resigned.But then again, she was yet to tender a formal resignation and a verbal statement didn't give her enough leverage to just leave like that.However, three days had already passed since she resigned and last came to work, so I guess she didn't care about resigning formally.“Come on, man. Don't you trust me?” I huffed. “I saw her in flesh and blood. She even reisgned on the spot.”“That I can believe. Given how much of a scumbag you were to her,” Liam retorted. “So did you look into her yet? I mean, you have a legion of informants working for you.”“Not yet, but I'm going to very soon,” I said. “Enough about me. How's Linda?”“Linda is fine. She is currently at work,” Liam replied. “Mum and Dad even called us la

    Allison's POV “Where are you taking me?” I asked, cuffing my hands around Leo's wrist, as he led me out of the house, with his hands placed on my eyes, obstructing my vision.“It's a surprise, baby.” He said, and I could almost see him grinning mischievously.Three days had passed since our wedding, and in another three days, we were going to leave the country for our honeymoon in Greece.“Here we are,” Leo said, taking his hands off my eyes. “Have a look.”A gasp forced itself out of my throat when I saw a new black Mercedes Benz parked in the driveway, with a white bow taped to the trunk and the headlights.“How do you like it, my love? Is it to your taste?” Leo asked, as I gazed at the car in surprise.“It's perfect,” I whispered, shaking my head in happy disbelief. “I love it.”“I'm glad to hear that, honey,” Leo said, hooking an arm around my waist. “You love the color, right?

    Leo's POV “You have a message,” Liam announced, gesturing to the gift bag he was holding, as he entered the room.Today was D-day. After many years of challenges, trials, and tribulations, Allison was finally going to be my wife just like I had always wanted.I had to pinch myself thrice when I woke up that morning, in order to be sure that I wasn't dreaming and today was really happening.“From who?” I asked, as he handed me the bag.“Allison.”My face softened with a wide grin as I retracted a burgundy velvet box from the bag.“I wonder what this is,” I muttered to myself, as I flipped the box open.My grin widened, to the point where my eyes creased when I saw the contents of the box; it consisted of a golden wristwatch, a pair of golden cufflinks to match with a golden pen.On the three items, my initials–LDS–was intricately inscribed on it.I couldn't help but feel warm and touched by her thoughtful, sentimental gifts, so I decided to forgo my initial choice of cufflinks and wri

    Allison's POV“And I'm done,” Ophelia announced, after giving my face a final dab with the beauty blender. “You look ravishing, Allie.”Clasping my hands together to tame my nervous excitement, I breathed out. “So can I open my eyes now?”“Yes, most definitely.”Inhaling sharply, I flapped my eyes open and gasped on seeing my beautiful reflection in the mirror.Ophelia had hearkened my choice and instructions to the very least detail and had done a great job with both my face and hair.My makeup was a natural, dewy look that accentuated and drew more attention to my facial features rather than having a huge slab of foundation pasted on my face while my hair was tossed in a sleek, french bun with a diamond brooch inserted beside it.I looked like a princess who had just stepped out of a fairytale book, and I could barely hide my excitement as I assessed my face, a huge smile plastered to my face.“I look gorgeous,” I said. “You did a wonderful job, Lia, and I don't know if I'm ever gon

Is Aiden okay?”“Just come quickly, alright? We are waiting for you.” She said, before hanging up.Swallowing harshly, I flung my phone on the bed before making my way to the closet to grab a casual outfit, while hoping everyone was alright.Fuck, I genuinely hoped nothing bad had happened on the eve of my wedding.That would be a sign of bad luck and I didn't want that.
