Eggust’s Pov

Between the day I got a call that Juss had a knife to her wrist and last night when Ezekiel told me that the new investigator had a lead on Juss, I didn't know which scared me more.

I had a brief talk with Ezekiel that evening, he advised against going to meet her, as it might scare her off even more. But I didn’t care anymore, I just wanted to see her, to breathe the same air as her, to touch her even though it was just for a while.

Why was no one seeing my side? I was only possessive in order to protect her. It didn’t mean she wasn’t free to do anything she wanted. Her safety as well as her happiness have always been my priority.

I loved her for fuck sake, so much that I respected her decision and left when she asked me to. I gave her space even though it killed me to have her so close and yet so far away.

I had always wanted Juss in my life even before I knew what love meant. When I found out she was pregnant with my child, I wanted her beside me even mo

    Juss's Pov It was daylight when I woke up. The sun streamed down into my room in beautiful rays reflecting off my white vanity table. Wait, my white vanity table? I blinked and stared at it. As far I could remember, my vanity table was a dull faded blue with chips and signs of use along the edges. But this table looked.....brand new. Maybe I was imagining things. I felt so tired and worn out, like I had been unconscious for so long. I wondered how long I had slept for. The last thing I remembered was Eggust holding me when I felt like I was blacking out at the pharmacy. Speaking of Eggust, was he really here? It felt like I had woken up from a very long dream. I admired the sunlight for a while longer before my eyes skipped to the walls that were now painted a soft pink shade . Pink! What was going on? I sat up quickly and regretted it immediately. My head swam and tears rushed to my eyes as I battled the overwhelming urge to puke. I would probably have, if my stomach ha

    Hera’s Pov “He didn’t recognize me,” Isla said from the corner of the room where she sat, folding her clothes. “Huh?” “Eggust, he definitely didn’t recognize me. I saw him going to Ms. Indigo’s office. I figured it was because she had been absent for two days. I followed him there, hoping he would recognize me and I would ask him why he abandoned us. But he didn’t even recognize me.” I immediately understood what lsla was talking about, she was a student of Juss, the bitch Eggust was obsessed with. After I sent her those threatening mails, I passed by her house to see if my threats had worked. Apparently, it didn’t for the first few times I sent them, she seemed to be unaffected. But after I threatened to expose her to the whole school, Isla told me she suddenly just stopped coming to class. We went to her apartment to check for ourselves, and her neighbor informed us she had left abruptly with her things. Now, all I had to do was wait for Eggust to come back to me,

    Hera’s Pov After much persuasion, I was able to convince my boss to give me a few days off from work, which he grumpily agreed to. It was so freeing being away from the bar for a while. Accommodation would not be a problem since I already informed my grand aunt there that I'll be staying with her and she was happy to have me. I finally got to the train station after much deliberation. Isla had tried to talk me out of it, “I don’t think you should go after him, I’m certain if we continue to threaten Juss she will fold and leave him eventually. When that happens, he'll come back to us.” Those were her words. However, I knew better than to wait until something I want finds its way to my hands. I’d never been the one to sit idle in hope that things would fall in place, rather I work towards it. So against Isla’s judgment, I embarked on my journey to Manchester. It had been a long ride because of traffic, even though I had woken up early to beat it.

    Juss' POV I stirred slightly in my sleep, unsure if the constant buzz I heard was from my dreams or in reality. I barely got some sleep last night due to the nausea I had. There were some days I was comfortable with being pregnant, and some days I completely hated it. Last night was one of those awful nights. The sound from the doorbell continued, I realized there was someone at the door, I took a quick glance at the bedside clock. It was almost 8:am. The morning sun was already up as it's golden rays illuminated my room. Waking up to this sight every morning was heavenly. One of the reasons I loved the apartment. Choosing to ignore the intruder, I rolled over to the other end of the bed and slowly drifted back to sleep. Then the buzzer came again. It was getting increasingly annoying and so I got up from the bed to check who was at the door. It was still too early to disturb one’s sleep, I thought sourly. I wasn't half surprised to see Ezekiel at the door,

    Eggust POV I adjusted the duvet for the tenth time again, peering at her face to make sure she was still breathing. I couldn't understand exactly why I was scared, but I was. I had the fear that something might have gotten terribly wrong. She had been sleeping for way too long for me to be comfortable with. Seeing her chest heave up and down, telling me that she was still breathing, was a relief to me. My movements made her stir in her sleep as she turned her head the other way and soon enough, I heard her snoring softly. Juss had fallen asleep just as we were watching TV. While she slept, I decided to make us brunch, as it was the first time we would be eating today. I took a step back and just stood there watching her. She was so fucking beautiful. I found myself being more relaxed now, even though she still wasn't awake. She looked almost angelic and the little noises she made in her sleep went straight to my groin. I couldn't help but laugh at the thought. It was

    Juss's pov Today's my appointment day, well, that's what the doctor told me. I felt quite disturbed and nervous about going and I didn't want to miss it either. I was so scared for my baby. I touched my baby bump and smiled in a wiry manner. I could feel the baby already breathing in my stomach. Then I pondered if I could go with Eggust to meet the doctor. "Hmm that would be cute," I thought to myself as I pulled out my phone to text Eggust. I paused for a moment confused on what to say. I thought about it while scratching my hair as if by some magic, an idea would pop out of it. "Oh okay, let's try this," I began typing. "Hey, today's my Appointment day with the Doctor, and I was wondering if you would love to join me?" After doing that, I hesitated for a while in pressing the send icon. I stood there, staring at my phone for close to a minute, battling with whether I should have sent or not. While I was contemplating, my index finger mistakenly touched “s

    Hera's POV The streets were dark and empty despite the pale moonlight that reflected from above. Stars littered the blanket of dusk, twinkling like tiny stones. In many ways, it was a beautiful night, a night to enjoy, but to enjoy it, one had to have the mind for it. I sighed. It wasn't from exhaustion, although it may as well be that. This past week had been every kind of hell imaginable. Hours and hours of tracing dots, trying to make connections, and forcing cups of coffee down my throat so I could stay awake for just a little longer. No, this was more than mere tiredness. It felt deeper than that, more conceptual, as if my fatigue had leached through my bones until it could wrap around my very soul. My mind raced with thoughts on how to find Juss. At least all my efforts hadn't been completely in vain. Now I knew what street she lived in, but with nothing more than that to narrow down my options, I was basically aiming blind. The thought of having to work through each

Statistics show that over fifty thousand tourists come to Manchester monthly, our hotel will be located in the most juicy area in Manchester. At the center of all the interesting areas to visit. With this investment, I guarantee you we’d be making thrice the amount we make in our hotels in London.” Fredrick kept yapping excitedly. “Is that so?” I asked, trying to put my phone in a silent mode. I knew whom it was that had been calling, it was my father, and I wasn’t in the mood to talk to him. I wondered why he won’t stop calling. “Mr. Flemming, Mr. Flemming,” Fredrick’s voice echoed, piercing through my thoughts. Apparently, I had zoned out again, and wasn’t paying attention to some of the things he said. “Fredrick, I trust your judgement, but what

Now stop being a baby and get up.”“But I’m a baby, or isn’t that what you call me.”I raised my hands in surrender triggering laughter for the both of us. “You win. So dear baby, get up, mummy wants to bathe you.”“Mummy should carry me to the bathroom.” He murmured.“Really?” I bent down to carry him immediately and fell back on his body and we got into another fit of laughter.He ended up carrying me to the bathroom.While we were bathing together everyone was washing their bodies so I had nothing in mind when I applied face wash with my eyes closed, but Eggust had other plans.He started massaging my soapy breast.

I opened my eyes with a smile when I felt little feet pushing again my rib.Yep, one of the kids had snuck into bed with us again. It had become a habit in the past one year but my mom assured me that they would soon outgrow it really.I certainly hope so because this sharing business was not funny at all.Ten minutes later, at exactly 7:00 a.m. the doorbell rang and I rushed downstairs to get the package from the delivery guy.I had ordered a breakfast package to serve her in bed because I knew I wouldn't get through with cooking before she woke up.

My housekeeper said to me very early this morning.I couldn't understand how the day was so bright when I felt so gloomy.Today, we were holding a funeral for my father in law! His death still felt surreal, he was such a pillar and leader. Yes, he was gruff and grumpy and even mean occasionally, but generally, he had been a wonderful person.Nature had to show respect and join in the mourning!!!I smiled sadly to myself as I realized the impossible and crazy thoughts I was having."What has come over you Marlani?"I guessed it was panic. A really big one.Grandfather had been the only one who had kept the family together and now that he was gone, I didn't know what would happen to us.No one was capable of or willing to fill his shoes. Sylvester had changed, but I had doubts he could fill in grandfather’s shoes. Eggust was still mad at everyone for what we did to Juss, though he tolerated us because of her, he still held grudges.

    Juss’ Pov Today was the final court hearing for Hera’s case, I was already getting frustrated with the way the case was going. They had all the evidence, why did they still need to have multiple hearings, just to prove that Hera was really guilty?Her cohorts had already confessed to their crimes, it took a little push from Ezekiel to get them to all turn against Hera. They were released and asked to pay a fine because they were her accomplices. But her charges were more, as the mastermind.It was funny how a harmless looking person like Hera, was responsible for my dilemma. She didn’t even look like someone who would go as far as opening an anonymous account just to ruin my life. Yet, I felt pity for her. She was just a woman who fell in love with the wrong person. Her obsession with Eggust had driven her to do all of those things. I was this close to begging Eggust to drop the charges, but I held back when I realized I wasn’t the only one she put through trauma. Eggust suffered

    Juss’ PovAs I slowly opened my eyes, the haze of sleep began to clear, and I was met with the sound of faint chatter. My motherly instincts immediately kicked in, and I scanned the room for my babies. My mind relaxed as I spotted them safely in the arms of Eggust and Marlani. She had been a different person since I gave birth. Two days ago, she even offered me a heartfelt apology. Of course I forgave her, but that didn’t stop the awkwardness between us from lingering. I was grateful she cared about Oscar and Elaine though. It still felt like yesterday, even though it had been a whole week since I had my babies. I was to be discharged today and Sylvester had made arrangements for us to stay in grandfather’s house, as per his request.Grandfather was the first person to notice I had woken up. "Ah, Juss, you're awake," he said, drawing others attention to me. His voice was weak but filled with love.I tried to sit up, but my vision started to blur, a wave of dizziness washed over me,

    Marlani…I found myself in my car, a couple of hours after Sylvester left, driving towards Eggust’s house. I couldn’t bear the feeling of guilt that gnawed at me. His house was a few miles away from here, so it took me some time to get there. When I got to the front door, I heard some noises coming from the living room. I recognized the voices as Sylvester’s Juss’ and Eggust’s.Sylvester was here? what was he doing here?There was a bit of scuffle, Sylvester and Juss were not exactly in an argument, Eggust would definitely not allow it. But they went back and forth. Sylvester accused Juss of hating him and being the reason why I never gave him a chance to redeem himself. While Juss insisted she was only trying to protect me. She knew what he did to me, and didn’t want me to go through something like that again. Eggust only interrupted when Sylvester’s voice got louder. He repeated the same words “careful dad, I will not let you insult my fiancée in our house.”“Our house?”They wer

    Sylvester’s Pov I got into my car, turned on the engine and drove to god-knows-where. I had nowhere in particular I thought of going to, I just knew I wanted to be as far away as possible. Not because I was mad at Marlani for what she said, ‘cause truthfully I deserved it.Instead, I was mad at myself, for thinking I could offer an apology, show her how much I’ve changed and the effort I’m putting in to make sure our relationship is better, then she would accept me again, and helplessly fall in love with me. That didn’t only make me a jerk, but completely delusional as well. But did she have to do it immediately though? After our moment of wild sex. Couldn’t she have just waited until tomorrow or the day after then?My grip on the steering was firmer. A car tried to overtake me, but I was too focus on my anger to notice that. Due to his frustration, the driver honked at me, cursing as he was finally able to.I yelled back in frustration, flipping the driver my middle finger. My knuc

    Marlani After the meeting with Eggust’s grandfather, Sylvester drove me back to his penthouse. We hadn’t really talked about the day, which I was thankful for, it was a sour topic and the last thing I wanted was to be vulnerable around Sylvester. Things were much better now that we were living together, than they were in the last twelve years. Sylvester worked from home and barely left the house, unless he wanted to buy groceries, which was weird, because he never went to the grocery store himself. At first, I thought it was because of a lady, perhaps a new fling he was hooked on. But after his constant requests for me to join him, I realized he was doing it all to please me. Sylvester Flemming, doing everything in his power to be called a better husband? Who would have thought? Certainly not me. I just finished making breakfast and was setting the table, when I heard footsteps approaching, I turned around to see Sylvester sauntering down the stairs. He flashed me a warm smile as
