Allison’s POV “Are you done with the sales memo?” I asked Tom, as I sat down on the empty chair beside him. “If so, can you be a sweet dear and forward it to me?”“Sure, Allie. I'm almost done, I just have to do one final review.” He responded.“Alright, thanks Tom,” I nodded. “How's your girlfriend doing nowadays? It's been a while since you last spoke of her.”Tom's expression instantly became crestfallen, causing me to tremendously regret ever asking him the question in the first place.“We broke up,” He feigned a smile. “I proposed to her and she just looked at me and laughed and good me that I wasn't serious. Apparently, Lana was just fooling around with me while I took our relationship serious.”“Oh, Tom,” I said, placing a hand in his shoulder. “I'm so sorry to hear that. A kind man like you deserves someone better. Someone that will never take your love for granted, a woman who would love you with all her heart.”“While I appreciate your nice words, we both know that may nev
Leo’s POVI stood at the center of my office, mouth flapping close and open wordlessly like a fish out of water, staring at the closed door after Allison left.Shit, I had messed up so bad.Getting her forgiveness would never happen at this point.“You fucking wench,” I spat, as I turned toward Fiona, who rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. “Look what you've done!”After I broke off our engagement, Fiona had initially refused to move out of my house, telling me that she loved me and could never let me go.I had to involve the authorities to get her to leave my house. According to what I heard from Dylan, she had traveled out of the country thereafter.To say I was shocked when she stepped inside my office minutes ago was an understatement.“What did I do? Is it so wrong to hug my fiancé?” Fiona snarled. “And who the fuck is that bitch that you are so affected by her?”“Get out.” I snapped, pointing at the door. “Leave before I do something I might regret.”“You're so dramatic,” Fion
Allison's POV As I stepped into the elevator, my phone vibrated in my bag with an incoming call. Fishing out my phone, a smile creased my lips when I saw Max displayed as the caller ID. Answering the call, I placed it to my ear. “Hey.” “Hi, petal. How are you doing? How's work?” He asked. “I hope you aren't missing me too much.” “You wish,” I huffed, unable to conceal my grin. “You are still in Texas?” “Yes, I'll soon be done with the conference. And after that, I'm boarding the fastest flight back home to you.” Max replied, and for some reason, my heart sank, instead of flutter. Ignoring the feeling, I feigned eagerness. “Is that so? I will be expecting you then.” “Should I take it that you've finally agreed to come visit me at my place?” Max asked. I was about to respond when the elevator screeched to a halt and the doors slid open. I almost choked on air when Leo walked in, his musky masculine scent pervading my nostrils and rendering me powerless to his suave charm. He g
Allison’s POV Burying my head in my hands, I heaved a deep sigh. Two days had passed since Aiden suddenly slumped and became comatose.Earlier today, Doctor Clayton had also informed me that he had to be operated on before the end of tomorrow or else she'd be forced to discharge him, which would be the worst.Where in the world was I supposed to take him?I nearly jumped out of my skin when a warm hand laid on my shoulder. “It's me, Tasha,” My best friend uttered, and only then did my trepidation dissipate.In the last forty eight hours, I had only eaten once, and that was because Tasha has threatened to force-feed me, after I almost fainted of exhaustion.Although I knew I needed food to survive, I just couldn't bring myself to eat. Not when my baby was currently fighting for his life all alone in the ICU.Not when I had no idea how or where I was supposed to get three million before tomorrow ended.Fuck, I was truly done for.Just then a thought wafted into my mind, and I found my
Allison's POV “Hi, baby,” I whispered, as Aiden winked an eye open, breath ragged and croaked.Caressing his face, I smiled at him. “How are you feeling, my love?”The heart transplant surgery had been carried out on him yesterday, and he was only just regaining his consciousness.Aiden opened his mouth but nothing came out as he gazed at me.“Rest, baby. You can talk to me later,” I said, properly covering him with his blanket. “Thanks for living for mummy.”In response, he gave me a faint smile before drifting back to sleep, the web of machines that was connected to him, beeping at a uniformed pace.A knock came on the door then. “Come in.” I said, presuming it was either the doctor or Tasha.To my utter surprise and annoyance, Leo strutted in, hands pocketed, and a smile plastered to his face. “Why are you here?” I asked, throwing him a nasty glare. “What do you want?”“I want to see our son.” Leo replied, looking over my at Aiden's sleeping form.“My son, Leo. Correct yourself,”
Allison's POV “Good morning, mummy,” Aiden greeted as he sauntered down the stairs, into the kitchen, a wide grin plastered to his face.Returning his smile, I walked up to him, crouched to his height and pressed a kiss to his forehead. “Morning, my love. Did you sleep well?”He nodded happily. “Yes, mummy. There were no evil monsters under my bed.”“That's great,” I ruffled his hair. “SpongeBob will soon start playing on the TV, go and watch it while I make breakfast, alright?”“But I want to stay in the kitchen with mummy,” He pouted, looking down at his feet.My heart did a thing, and I sighed. “And mummy really appreciates your kind gesture but she wants you to go and watch cartoons, okay?”“You sure, mummy?”“One thousand percent, baby.”“Okay,” He grinned, revealing his empty front gums, which made him look like an adorable little old man.Aiden had lost his baby teeth two days ago and had full on cried for an hour after I discarded it. I had to placate him with some ice cream
Leo's POV“I'm telling you, man,” I said into the phone. “So much has happened within two weeks.”“And you didn't even bother to tell me, huh? Is that good?” Liam's tone was accusatory.I had just finished telling him about how Allison and I had a son, who just underwent a heart transplant.Although something gnawed at my heart from time to time, pestering me to tell my parents about Allison and Aiden but for some reason, I didn't feel like it was time.Right now, the most important thing to me was getting in Allison's good books and making things right between us. I needed Allison to be fully mine before I took such a great step.“I wasn't exactly in a clear headspace to share it with you but now, things seem to be slightly better and there's hope,” I responded. “How's everything?”“Everything is fine,” He replied. “I have a meeting in five minutes, so I have to go now.”“Alright, man. We will talk whenever.”“Sure.” Liam said then hung up.Yesterday, I had painstakingly ordered some
Leo’s POV I was genuinely surprised albeit in a good way when Allison didn't pull back or push me away when I kissed her. Instead, she clung onto my arms and pushed herself on her toes as a moan escaped her.Taking that as a greenlight, I deepened the kiss and let my hands linger dangerously away from her back to grip her small waist.Whimpering into the kiss, Allison hooked her arms around my neck, eyes fluttered shut as though to inculcate the heavenly feeling of our lips meeting.God, how could I have allowed a gem like this go in the first place?I had truly missed the blissful sensation of her soft, rosy lips against mine as I kissed her to stupor.Her beautiful moans that never failed to send my cock instantly springing erect like a dutiful soldier.Even now, my cock was straining painfully against the fabric of my pants, leaking precum and begging to be set free and pried through the wet folds of Allison's wet pussy.“P-Please, Leo,” Allison stuttered, breaking the kiss, her e
