DAHLIA'S POV

The sound our doorbell is even louder than my alarm.

I roll over on the bed and groan when I try to raise my head off the pillow.

I must have cried so much last night my head is spinning now.

I pick up a glass of water from my nightstand and some Aspirin from the drawer.

After taking the pill and drinking the entire glass of water, I glance at the wall clock in my room.

“Shit!”

The time says, 7:26.

I overslept.

The kids should be prepared for school, they should be eating breakfast by now.

I usually wake them up and now I've overslept.

The sound of the doorbell still ringing makes me jump to my feet.

I hurriedly put on my night robe and run to the living room.

As I draw closer, I can hear noises. Children's voices and a woman's voice as well.

I enter into the living room to see my kids backing their books into their bags. I peep into the kitchen and Sunny is responsible for that ethereal smell.

How long and deep did I sleep that I didn't hear them moving aro

    CARLTON’S POV Tristan Martinez. I've heard a lot of things about this man, before and after I knew him. Before today, I'd never seen him up close. He always has a dark aura around him. Not that I am scared of him, but I'd prefer not to involve myself with him if he's going to be trouble. But here I am, standing eye to eye with him. He flexes his jaws and I can see the anger in his eyes but he immediately masks it and forces a smile. “Mr. Stewart, good to see you here,” he extends his hand for a shake. I accept the handshake, which is unusually firm and brief. Clearly he isn't very happy to see me here. “I'm sorry about your mom, I wish her a quick recovery,” he adds. I'm not surprised he knows. Dahlia told Sunny so she has probably told him too. Besides, it's all over the internet and the news. Except he lives in a cage there's no way he won't know about it. Since he knows, that probably explains his anger earlier. My father is trying to sue Dahlia for m

    DAHLIA'S POV The smell of the car is making me nauseated. I normally don't react to it, but with the way my senses have heightened lately, it's no surprise. Tristan and I are sitting in his car. We just dropped my kids off at school. He is about to head to the office when I stop him. “Can you take me somewhere else instead? I want to meet a friend of mine who is a lawyer.” He looks at me skeptically before replying, “Why?” “I need her help because I'm going to sue Mr. Stewart for defamation of character. I can't seat back and wait for the police to come searching for me. I need to take action too. He thinks he can just sue anyone he suspects of foul play, well I can easily sue him too. I let them walk over me in the past, I will not let that happen again.” And I mean every word of what I said to Tristan. This must stop. I won't let them ruin my life again. Tristan however doesn't seem to agree with me. “Don't make any rash decisions Dahlia. You don't want to be inv

Ignoring her all through, I finally arrives at my destination. The washing sink. I turn it on and place marigold fingers underneath it.

However the next thing Carlton does within split seconds, takes me unaware. I barely reach the door, before I feel a strong grip at my arm and with a slight pull, I’m twirling around, almost tripping on my heels before landing on Carlton’s chest. His strong arms encircles my waist. Then his next action gets me even more stunned. “Carlton what are you…” Carlton’s lips slamming against mine, cuts off the rest part of my words.

    Dahlia pov As I’m still staring in disbelief at the photo, my memory transcends to about two weeks ago. The day Tristian discharged himself from the ward since according to him, he had business in L.A which was more important than his health. “Tristian, I still think this isn’t a good idea.” I am sitting on Tristian’s bed in place of him. Whining and worrying as he’s busy strapping on his suit jacket hastily. “The Doctor advise that you stay on bed rest for at least two more days.” “Trust me dahlia, I’m hail and vibrant already. Stop worrying about a grown up man like me but I’m flattered by your concern though.” Tristian teases, throwing a playful wink at me which somewhat makes him look cute. But still, I’m not buying his antics. “You may look physically strong but what if the attack comes again?” “Then I’ve got my medicines.” I’m about to argue further but I’m cut off by the creaking sound of the door. Both mine and Tristian’s attention turns to it and we see a strange

Her obstruction immediately attract eyes of onlookers to us. “So just because I took your car, you decided to hang out with dahlia?!” She yelled. “Mari-gold don’t even start. Not everyone is as petty as you.” Carlton scoff In frustration, swallowing a lump and gawking at the onlookers. Marigold continues to rant. “Then what are you doing in this fancy eatery with dahlia? I can’t even remember the last time we went out on dates like couples should.” She yell on top her voice that it’s almost straining. She’s so pained and it’s twinkling in her eyes. I haven’t even plunge my claws on Carlton’s heart yet she’s already like this. I wonder what she will do when Carlton gets rid of her for me because I’m certainly going to make him. “Everything isn’t about you marigold.” Carlton spits coldly, indirectly humiliating marigold in front of the onlookers and marigold faces grows even more d

    Dahlia’s pov, “Here’s the thing, sunny is drunk.” Tristian blurts out. “She had called me few minutes ago, crying and rambling over some stuffs. I was forced to locate her at the bar she was and brought her back. She was, in fact she is in a pretty bad mess. She puked overall the place and all over me. Which obviously explains why I’m shirtless.” He rasps spitefully, turning from the embarrass Tristian he was a while ago to a pissed one now. “Sunny is drunk? Why? What happened? Why did she drink?” I asks before I realize Tristian wouldn’t know all that. So I just walk out of Tristian and enter Sunny’s room. First I’m welcome with a strong stench of alcohol which nauseate me before I manage to walk up to an half-sleepy-drunk looking sunny on the bed. “Sunny? What the hell happened? Just how much did you drink?” I snapped at her. “Tristian?” She called with her voice dragging. She’s lying face down but still If not the effect of alcohol she could recognize me. “Where’s the pack

    Dahlia pov, “We shouldn’t rush into it in haste. Yes that portrait looks so much like Spencer’s but don’t forget there are millions of people with same physique and a million others with that same dragon tattoo, same spot. We can’t just accuse the first suspect that comes to mind until there’s a solid proof. You don’t want to put an innocent person behind bars do you?” Tristian points out reasonably and As I think about it, I can’t help but see that he just might be right. There are indeed thousands of people with the same tattoo, same spot. The last thing I want to do is to jail an innocent person. I know how that feels like. Thinking more about that, eve marigold has that same tattoo. Same spot as that’s quite a popular spot for that type of tattoo. I’m not saying it’s marigold in the frame as she’s obviously a female but what if the person is one of her holigan friends and the tattoo is somewhat a symbol of their friendship bond? Or she could even be related to Spence

    Dahlia's POV“ I have no idea how it ended up this way but there is something going on out there. A woman approached me and told me you're in distress, needing help. I rushed here as soon as I could!” Carlton lamented.I sighed on hearing this, as I was also still trying to unlock the door. “As soon as I stepped in, the door was shut and she locked it afterwards, why would she do such a thing!” Carlton said, with a frustrated tone.“Did you say she's one of Marigold's friends, Perhaps they're playing a prank on you or something? That is the only thing I can make of this situation.” I questioned. “This does not seem like a prank to me. She would never get herself involved with something like this..” Carlton replied.Having struggled with the door for about ten minutes, it was finally growing weak and the lock was close to opening. I can't continue trying to unlock it from here, perhaps a kick would send it flying open.I moved back a bit and got ready to break open the door. “Hey, ca

This weird feeling had nothing to do with a stomach upset but I also couldn't tell what it was. I resorted to sitting on an empty table and it kind of eased down a bit. Oh that worked, Did I drink too much at one point? What is going on with my body?Dahlia had taken off to search for her daughter, but might definitely not find her anytime soon. She went the wrong way Afterall! Everything seems to be going on so smoothly, I had bought sexual arousing pills and spiked Dahlia's drink with it. Then my friends helped out with tricking Carlton into an abandoned compartment. Now, he is trapped and no one would probably hear him scream too. The trick they used to lure him there was to lie that Dahlia was stuck in the compartment and Carlton, unaware of the danger, rushed to save her. He successfully walked into the obvious trap and will remain th

    “Is there a problem?” Panic from no where sinks into me. On impulse, I think of my kids which I left in his watch. “Not really, he just…” “Mummy,” Tiny voices interrupts Chloe and we turn to see four kids walking towards our direction. Andre and my three boys. Gianna isn’t with them and noting the frantic look on they faces, my pulse increase. “Mummy, It’s… it’s Gianna. We can’t find her.” “What?!” Between my heart and me, I don’t know which one leaps first. “What happened?” I ask as I’m flying up from the seat. “I don’t know, some lady came to us after uncle Carlton excused himself from where we were all gathered. She said you demanded for us except for Gianna. We left Gianna behind and followed the lady but at some point the lady walked too fast and missed up in the crowd. We went back to the table and we couldn’t find Gianna anymore. We had been searching for Gianna and luckily we found you here. Mommy I’m scared.” Gavin my eldest son narrates everything in one brea

    Dahlia’s Pov, From the moment the ward’s door open, The lively atmosphere morphs into Tension immediately because of the person that just walked in. She halt right at the door, freezing as if she’s seeing a ghost. And I’m the ghost, because her gaze is piercing right through me and unlike actually seeing a ghost, her expression isn’t horrid but that of undiluted rage. Me, I’m simply baffled about her appearance here. I mean she has no reason to be here. And there’s no doubt that everyone else in the ward is also having same thoughts. However, the silence doesn’t last any longer before Mr. Stewart’s high grating voice breaks it. “And what the hell are you doing here?” He asks Marigold angrily. “Such A way to speak to your daughter in law whom you had forcefully accused of a crime she didn’t commit. I should be getting some apology here.” Is marigold’s sarcastic response as she rolls her eyes walking fully into the ward. “Anyways I just came to visit my mother-in-law who h

The SPA room has been buzzing with my friends talking non-stop. More like throwing insults to Mr. Stewart which he very much deserves. And the other occupants in the room are diligently focused on their job just as they should. “I mean if he hated you that much, he could just man up and ask you to leave his son. Accusing you wrongly was such a dumb move.” Cynthia chips in Angrily. She’s laid on the bed beside me getting her facials done just like me. “I wish I got to see his face now that the truth is out.

    DAHLIAThe night air bites at my skin, sharp and unforgiving. I wrap my jacket tighter around my body to ward off the cold. Carlton walks behind me with his hands shoved into his pockets. The shoot drained us but the silence of the streets and the distant glow of a coffee shop make it bearable at least. Out of nowhere, Carlton stops walking. “Thanks,” he says when I turn to look at him. “For everything. Helping me the fix the mess at he company.” “Don't mention it.” A smile warms my cheeks. “I mean it.” His expression turns serious, his breath fogging in the cold air. “I don't know what I would've done without your intervention.”“You figured it out eventually, I guess.”“I highly doubt that.” A smirk tugs at his lips and we resume walking again. We push into the warmth of the café. The scent of roasted coffee beans drapes itself around me like a cloak and I exhale, savoring it. We find a booth by the window, and I blow into my hands to keep them warm. “You going to the kids’ bo
