Allison’s POV “Hi, my love,” I beamed at Aiden, as I entered Tasha and David's residence.I had just gotten back from work, and had decided to come pick up my son.“Mummy!” He beamed, showcasing his tiny yet adorable teeth, as I hugged him.” I missed you.”“I missed you too, my baby.” I replied, as he hugged me back.Looking up, I saw David and Tasha staring at us, identical warm smiles adorning their faces.“My favourite couple, how are you?” I uttered, after disengaging from the hug.“We are doing great,” David replied, wrapping an arm around Tasha, and pressing a kiss to her cheek.With flustered cheeks, Tasha leaned into his hold, and I couldn't help but feel a full jab in my heart.David and Tasha were literally the most loving and pleasant couple that I'd ever met.Not only were they beautiful inside out, their love story was just the cutest. They had gone from being co-workers to being husband and wife.The way they also looked at each other was just so cute and heartwarming.
Leo’s POVI smiled to myself, as my mind drifted to my occurrence with Allison last night.From how she had refused to accept the food from me to how her stomach had groaned, in my support, which made her red with embarrassment.How one could be the sexiest woman on earth and still be so adorable was beyond me.Fuck, I loved her so much that it scared and intrigued me at times.I couldn't believe that the Leo from five years ago would fall for Allison.The Leo who had viewed Allison as nothing but a pretty face with an even prettier behind, now saw her as his reason for existing.The Leo who used to be the world's greatest scumbag and playboy now had Allison living rent-free in his head.As my thoughts further lingered to Allison, my phone vibrated with an incoming call, yanking me out of my blissful trance.One glance at the caller ID made my lips twitch with a smile; Liam was calling.Swiping onto the answer the button, I pressed the phone to my ear. “Hey, man.”“What's up? So you'r
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
