“Let me remind you that what we had was nothing but a trade of money for sex, am I clear?” He spat. “And look at me when I'm talking to you, dammit!” Fighting back tears, I raised my head and nodded. “I'm sorry I said that.

Allison’s POVI waited, my heart scudding with a mix of trepidation and unease as I waited for my mother's oncologist to answer the phone.Just then, the line clicked, and the anxiety within me dissipated to a reasonable extent.“Good day, miss Allison,” She greeted. “How are you doing?”“I'm doing well, doctor, and you?” I replied. “I'm also well, miss, thanks for asking.” She responded, to which I nodded. “That's good to hear, so how's my mum doing? Is she in a better condition now? Or does she need more treatment?” My voice came out in a croaky whisper.“She's doing well, miss. But she's currently asleep, would you like me to call you when she wakes up?” She asked.“Yes, please. Thank you so much, doctor. You've been of great help to my mother and I for the past few months. I promise to never take your assistance for granted.” I said.“You're welcome, dear. I've got to go now. Duty calls.”“Alright, doctor. Thanks again.” I responded, before ending the call.More than a year had
Allison's POVA 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
