CARLTON'S POV

The sound of the espresso machine brewing knocks me off my train of thoughts.

I didn't even realize my eyes were closed until the person at the machine apologized for waking me up.

I just nod and turn away, sitting up on the couch.

I had come into the lounge for a cup of coffee but somehow I ended up sitting on the couch without the coffee, in deep thought.

I haven't been able to stop thinking about Dahlias kids. They have been on my mind since the day at the cafe. And recognizing her daughter as the child from the store in LA makes everything so awkward. To think Dahlia had possibly been in L.A all those years and in that store at the same I was.

So she had been living there with them, with her husband, the father of her kids.

I haven't seen him at all. Could it be that he is still in L.A, is he even still in the picture? Is she married to him? Then it hit me. Tristan Martinez.

They say they are business partners but what if it's more than that. What if they are

    CHAPTER 34 CARLTON'S POV I am not surprised by what I'm seeing. Andre always indulges in fights everyday with his classmates. But the person he is fighting is what baffles me. One of Dahlia's children, Gianna. Just when I was getting on her good side. The last thing I want is for there to be some sort of feud between our kids. That will not bode well for our relationship moving forward, business or private. I run to where the kids are pulling each other's uniforms and try to separate them. “Stop this, both of you.” “He started it,” Gianna says pointing at Andre with so much spite in her eyes. Great, just great. “It doesn't matter who started it, you know you shouldn't be engaging in fights, Gianna,” Dahlia scolds her, “and you boys are just watching them. I am disappointed,” she turns to her three sons who have their heads down. “But Gianna was just trying to become friends with Andre. And then he hit her,” Gavin says, pointing an accusing finger at Andre. But Dahlia

    CARLTON'S POV The loud sound of the alarm almost destroys my eardrum and I hastily turn it off before more damage can be done. I forgot to charge my normal alarm clock last night, so I had to use the manual one with changeable batteries. Now I remember why I stuffed it in the cupboard years ago. The stupid thing is too damn loud. I get up from the bed, do my regular morning stretches, before taking the alarm and stuffing it back into the cupboard. I turn to leave the room but I don't make it to the door before I change my mind. I take out the alarm clock and throw it into the trash can instead. I walk into the bathroom and brush my teeth, before heading downstairs to the kitchen. I start brewing some coffee and open my phone to check my emails while I wait. “What is this?”Marigold walks into the kitchen holding her phone up to my face. “What is what?”“This,” she points to the screen and glares at me, her nose flaring up. I squint my eyes to look at what she is showing me t

    MARIGOLD'S POV It has been exactly three days since my fight with Dahlia in front of the school compound. People took videos and pictures and posted them on the net. At first the headlines were, CEO of Tristan Delight at Texas branch gets into an embarrassing fight with a fellow parent at her children's school. The next day they had completely changed. Apparently the newly found public attraction had made people dig in more on my life and Dahlia's. The new headlines were…CEO of Tristan Delight at Texas branch engages in a fight with her stepsister over the CEO of Stewart's Foods Co, husband to the stepsister. I mean, I'm excited about the news and all but the least they could do is use my name. Now I have to parade around like the ‘stepsister’. I'm not complaining though, this is the most publicity I've gotten in years. Today is the third day and I'm just loving the comments and articles online. It's all hateful comments against Dahlia. People are defending me, saying Dahlia is

    DAHLIA'S POV The eyes of the man embracing me grows wide and he immediately pushes himself off me. I feel a little hurt but then I remember that it's Carlton. He's a cheat and sneaking around is his specialty. “We…we were ju…just hugging,” he stammers, “there’s nothing going on I swear it.”I fold my arms across my chest and watch as Carlton pathetically tries to explain the situation to Tristan. Tristan scoffs and moves further into the room. “I know you were just hugging because I know Dahlia, she'd never fool around with someone's husband. It's beneath her,” he says looking at Carlton. I know what he's doing. Yes, everything he's saying is true and I believe it but he's also trying to mock Carlton, knowing fully well that Carlton was sleeping with someone else when he was still married to me. And it's working because the look on Carlton's face says he feels ashamed and he wants to kill Tristan for mocking him. Carlton's jaws tightens and his shoulders get tense. Tristan al

    DAHLIA'S POV “Miss Dahlia, is it true that you're having a private relationship outside work with Mr. Carlton Stewart?” One of the reporters asks almost putting the mic in my mouth. I have to get out of this, out of here. How did I get myself in this mess?Oh yes, I remember, I walked out of the auditorium room and was met with this paparazzi asking inappropriate questions. .Who even gave them permission to enter here? And they are asking unscreened questions which puts me in a tight place. “Miss Dahlia, please explain your relationship with Mr. Stewart,” another one shoots a question. I immediately turn and glare at him, he instinctively steps back still keeping the mic close to my mouth. This is too much. The blinding lights, the multiple mics in my face. I can't take it. My head begins to spin and it feels like I'll collapse anytime soon. As the reporters keep throwing questions at me, I feel my knees begin to grow weak. No, no, no. Don't give up on me now.

    DAHLIA'S POV “What is going on here?”Sunny's voice gets loud as her expression goes dark. She looks between Tristan and I, her lip twitches as realization sets in and she begins pacing. “Sunny, calm down,” I say, trying to ease her. Her reaction is perfectly valid, maybe Tristan might be oblivious, although I doubt that, but I know how Sunny feels about him. And here I am kissing someone she likes. But I couldn't help it, I was caught up in the moment. I shouldn't have betrayed her like that, still, the pull between Tristan and I was too much to ignore. The way he stared at me, the lustful look in his eyes. If Sunny hadn't interrupted, I wonder how far it would have gone. Maybe it's because I haven't been touched or kissed in a while, because why else will I give in? My thoughts are in a haze but with the growing fury in Sunny's eyes, I have to prioritize her feelings first. “Calm down? You're telling me to calm down? I walk in here, tired as hell from work, hoping to see that

    DAHLIA'S POVWe have to get him on his feet at least. We'll help him walk to the car and the rest will be easy. One of Tristan's arms is draped over my shoulder, the other is draped over Sunny's shoulder. He is still in pain, and groaning as we push our way to my car. “Almost there,” I groan feeling bad for Tristan as he tries to suppress the pain and not groan. “It's okay, Tristan, you'll be fine. We are almost at the car,” I try to reassure him. Sunny is quiet throughout. We finally get Tristan into the car. “I have to do something, I'll meet you there,” Sunny says, sounding suspicious. She doesn't wait for me to reply before she walks away. Tristan groans again bringing my attention back to him. I'll deal with Sunny later, Tristan is my priority for now. I quickly enter my car and drive to the hospital. I finally found time to get my car from the mechanic shop. Tristan groans in pain the whole way to the hospital and I feel really bad for him.

    DAHLIA'S POV The morning is dull and the sky humid. I make sure the kids wear jackets and have scarves tied around their neck before dropping them off at school. Throughout yesterday night and this morning, thoughts of Tristan have been on my mind. Our kiss, seeing him in so much pain. I wish everything didn't go down the way it did. I have had time to think about it too, and I owe Sunny an apology, and a huge thank you for her impact on my life and that of my kids. So in a good spirit, I make breakfast for Tristan and Sunny and dish theirs in a cooler. I freshen up, drop my kids at school and head to the hospital. The hospital environment always gives me jitters. Seeing people walk in and out with one condition or the other, in pain, receiving bad or good news. It's almost overwhelming, so I quickly make my way past everyone and head to Tristan's room. The door is a little open and I can hear someone talking. I walk in to see the doctor speaking to Tristan about his condition. Bu

    Dahlia’s POV, After our discussion about marigold’s doom, Tristian and I decided to tour round the pack and for the first time since years, I am having so much fun. We visited the animals and played with them. Tristian kept making jokes on them and I couldn’t help laughing. From the zoo, we toured the forest and tried out some traditional healthy meals together. After a fulfilling day of fun, we are heading home when some content creators approached us. They seem to be organizing romantic Games for couples and they were meeting random couples to participate. I actually found the request awkward as they’ve mistaken me and Tristian for couples. Tristian exchanged a baffled look with me before turning to them. “Umm…we aren’t couples.” Tristian tells them awkwardly, flashing them an exuberant grin as he make eye gesture at me. Almost like he’s asking for my opinion. The content creators after realizing, they gasp in embarrassment and quickly apologized. “I’m really sorry. We th

    Unedited. Dahlia’s POV, “So, why did you ask us to meet in this… place?” I ask Tristian as my eyes rove around the scenery. It’s a park and I’ve just met up with Tristian at the bridge where he had Been waiting for me. Instead of a reply, what I get is Tristian staring at me almost in awe. Like it’s his first time seeing him. His eyes are glistening with something as they rake through every inch of me, a small smile tugging at his lips. That look… it mentally draws up a person in my head and it pisses me off. Carlton… that’s the same expression I catches on him each time I spot him gazing at me and I’ll damned if I say I don’t know what it is. As much as it discomforts me, it fills me with this satisfaction that I’m slowly getting my claws on him. Sooner of a later, it would be doomed by me. However my concern now is Tristian and he won’t stop staring, I snap him out of it. “And what’s that look all about?” I snap a finger at him. “Huh… look?!” Like speed of lightening, his expre

    Carlton POV, “A Dull knife is a dangerous knife.” Dahlia has the calmest smile as she’s enthusiastically enlightening our students regarding culinary techniques. We are in the advanced stage of our cooking course and dahlia taking the student while I am sitting beside her, watching. Every inch of her. The way her hand moves, the passion in her eyes, the professional way she dishes our tips and handle cultures like she’s born to do this! Dahlia is one hell of an incredible woman. She’s not just beautiful, she’s so smart and As I stare at her, it’s hard to keep my sanity in check. I keep rethinking the bad decisions I had made in the past. How the hell did I let this woman slip away from me? Right now, she’s laying emphasis on knife work and she’s so enthusiastic about it.“If you risk using a dull knife to dice ingredients, you just don’t risk a potential hazard, you risk getting bad shapes. Just like this.” With the student watching with keen attention, dahlia picks up a carrot a

    Marigold POV, Dahlia played a fast one on me. That bitch! My grip clench tight on my Tab as I am glaring hard at the video footage playing out on it. The footage of Carlton and Dahlia. I can’t believe that the two morons did practically nothing but just talk. My Anger isn’t really of dahlia and Carlton not fucking each other. It’s the fact that the bitch played me for a fool. Yesterday, after the inevitable one night stand I had with Alan, something clicked inside me. Despite the enlargement of Alan’s cock and the rough way he handled my pussy, he still couldn’t satisfy my beastly appetite. At that moment, I knew something was off and a part of me drove me to check out the CCTV at the area where I spiked dahlia’s drink. I wanted to be sure I didn’t made a mistake and the CCTV affirmed that I didn’t. I was sure to hand dahlia the spiked drink but from the footage, I discovered the bitch switched the drink. Which automatically meant that I drank the sexual stimula met just for her. A

    Dahlia’s POV, After breaking out of the confinement with the help of the hammer, I and Carlton rushed to the hall. To our surprise, the hall was empty denoting that the party has ended. My kids weren’t in sight. Panic was already beginning to crawl into me when Carlton suggests we check the other building for the kids. My parents has two building. This hall designed for events and then their mansion which was a distant walk away from the mansion. It didn’t strike me that my parents would take my kids in because I know all their niceties towards me had been a charade. However when I and Carlton barge into the mansion, we meet a lively ambience, my parents and some of their business partners are at the dinning eating and chattering, while my kids and Andre are right at one part of the couch. I can’t explain the amount of relief that wash through me. My presence makes my kids lit up and jumps up running towards me. “Mummy!!!” The light commotion gets to the other occupants of the room

    “Honestly, you are just wasting your time dahlia.” Carlton say as I’m relentlessly banging the closed door. My lungs feel patched now from all the screaming I’ve been doing but that still doesn’t stop me. In fact I’m not stopping anytime soon until someone get us out of here. And God help marigold if anything happens to my kids out there, Especially Gianna whom I can’t even give account of her whereabouts. From the moment the entrance door shut close, I knew this was all marigold’s scheme. “Anyone out there!!! We are stuck in here?!!!” I scream my lungs out, follow next is my fist slamming furiously against the door. Aside from worrying about my kids, I can’t handle the idea of being stuck in an enclosed compartment with Carlton. I may have been all tough and all but there’s still that prickle of me that can’t stand the sight of him… Not just about the hatred this time but something else. I’m getting almost too comfortable with him and I hate it. However after screaming and

    I’m straddling my crutch by clamping my thighs tightly—the hypersexual sensation gets worse by the second. I’m already suffering from swollen breasts, numb nipples, and bolts of sex scenes shooting into the back of my head, but I play it cool even though I’m hopelessly knotted up. “Where’s Chloe? Get her out here; we need to talk,” I say Annabel and Cynthia, checking through my phone. “Umm… she took so much alcohol and has since been puking her brains out in the toilet. I don’t think she’s gonna come out now,” Cynthia replies. I have to nibble my problems, and now this. With a quick sigh, I walk past her and slam at the toilet door. “Hey, Chloe, you in there?” She mutters something back immediately, then I hear a rush of watery particles that I assume spew out of her throat or ass—I can’t tell. “Yeah, Marigold, I’m good… just gimme five—ugh,” she says, then keeps gagging for about two minutes. Finally, she flushes and comes outside. Chloe is a mess, but one look at me and she

    I glance at Gianna. I need her back with the family. She already serves her purpose—luring her mother away from the crowd and into a trap. And with how much I dose Dahlia with sex-arousal pills, it’s still surprising why it’s not taking effect already. As we leave the attic, I meet with the rest of the quadruplets and Grayson—no, Griffin… Grayson? Ugh, not that it matters. I just give them their little sister back, and one of them hugs me, tightly wrapping himself around my leg and refusing to let go. “Thank you, Aunty Marigold…” I feel a cringe-worthy sensation running through my spine. I nudge him aside with a repulsive glare. “Get off. That’s enough.” He took his corrections and backed away, then told them to follow me. They all fall in line—except Gianna. She is being too headstrong, but regardless, she escorts her brothers out of the hall. I need them out of my sight as soon as possible. Ascending the staircase, I feel a real tingle in my vagina. I pause to breathe. A raw
