REVENGE and TEMPTATIONS 39.
DAVIAN’S POVI leaned against the car, my mind numb and thoughts racing as I thought about what just happened.I had a kid. A son. There was no wishing it wasn't true or even denying it because he was practically me, reborn. He had my eyes, my nose, my curly long hair I had as a kid and that Icy Blue eyes I shared with Mom. My fingers ran through my hair, trying to gather my thoughts before Malian came out. Was I even pissed? I know I was surprised and still grasping the situation but underneath the stunned feelings, I was angry with her.She had my child and kept it from me even after we got married. Her behaviour these past few days was starting to make sense. The hushed whispers between her and her brother. The sweating on our way to the courthouse.I tried to come up with a reason why she wouldn't tell me after the marriage that we had a child but nothing. I couldn't believe she kept something that important from me.Was I ready for a son? No. But hell if I'll let her take my

DAVIAN’S POVWe didn't speak to each other the entire car ride. My hands shook at my side and I had to clench them into fists to control my emotions.My son had rejected me. It shouldn't be a surprise since we barely knew each other but it didn't stop the hurt the rejection blew in my face. Little Blue eyes that looked like grey as we were inside the car watched me from his mother's neck. He was curious but was too timid to ask again after he was startled by my conversation.I didn't want to startle him anymore so I kept whatever I had to say till we were in the comfort of our home.The moment we entered the house, I turned to her “Give Ronan to your brother. I don't want him to listen to what we have to say”She gave Ronan to Shiro and the little boy began to struggle against his uncle’s arms when Maliah started to walk away from him.“I'm not going anywhere, Little Ro. We are just going to talk. I promise you won't go back to Japan, okay?” She whispered and placed a kiss on his for

DAVIAN’S POVI left Maliah to help Ronan settle down first before I attempted to meet him again. She said I should give her some time to explain to him who I was so that the next conversation I have with him won't be awkward for the both of us and I agreed.My life had changed in a matter of seconds and I now had to consider that I had a kid who may get caught in any crossfire if I made the wrong decision.I leaned back in my office chair and cast my gaze towards the ceiling. I had to plan my next move because I needed to find evidence that Blair and Sabrina were directly involved with the death of our child.My mind ran through my numerous options. Should I involve Riccardo and do this the illegal and quicker way or go through the legal and slower method?Before I did anything, I had to inform my parents of the new development so I picked up my phone and dialled my Mom’s number.“Davian, sweetheart. Is everything fine?” She went straight to her normal worried questions as soon as she

Davin’s hand was stiff in mine as I led him to the room Ronan would be using. My little survivor had settled down and I told him I wanted to introduce him to someone.I had yet to explain who Davian was to Ronan because I wanted him to be there when I did it. Ronan had become less suspicious now he had a room.He had held on to me at first and wouldn't let me go when I tried to leave the room. I tried to make him understand that I was bringing Davian but my baby had thought I was leaving again.It broke my heart knowing how my actions over the past years had caused Little Ro to develop trust issues. He was too young to do that and I never wanted to give him any reason to ever doubt me again.I was going to try to never break the promises I made to my little survivor.I had given him my phone and he knew I never went anywhere without it. That was the only way he allowed me out of his sight.I turned back to look at Davian and his composure was tensed. I had never seen him question or d

AUTHOR’S POVThe air was tense the entire ride from the courthouse back to their house.Blair slammed the door to the car and marched up the stairs into the house. The blood flowing in her veins was hot with rage.A maid rushed up to her to take her bag but she shoved the girl out of the way, not even giving her a second look as the girl fell down because of how hard she pushed her.Maliah won again. That bitch won again and Blair needed something or someone to tear through so she felt a little bit better.Blair had never been this angry or humiliated before. Her vision turned red when she remembered her conversation with Maliah at the charity event. “Ahhhhhhhhh” She screamed and threw her bag in anger. The bag hit the glass vase on the center table and the loud crash echoed throughout the entire house.“I hate that bitch” Blair continued to yell. “Fuck!!!” She screamed, hands pushing through her perfect hair in rage.Her hands itched to hurt someone. Sabrina and Silas hurried into

Davian entered the bedroom with a smile on his face. He approached the bed and I placed my laptop I had been working on to the side just as he climbed the bed and pulled me to his chest.“Is he asleep?” I sighed as he pressed a kiss to my forehead and I leaned against his chest while his hands wrapped around my stomach.“Yes. He tried to fight it though” He replied with a fond smile on his face.It was barely a week but Ronan had gotten attached to Davian. He would not do anything without his father and it almost made me feel like the newest addition to his life and not Davian.“I told you he was going to love you” I reminded him and he chuckled before he nodded.“You did” He confirmed “But I didn't think he would get close to me this quick. I was so awkward with handling him at first”It was true. Davian was trying to be so careful around Ronan but he kept messing up and it had been a hilarious sight to see.“What do you think about getting him a puppy?” He asked out of the blue and

My steps are unhurried and even as I make my way to the boardroom. Ria, Shiro and my lawyer wall behind me as we approached our destination with a mission on our shoulders.I was taking over today.Whispers followed me as we made our way to the room. Familiar faces mixed with confusion followed me as I passed but I was too focused on where I was headed to bother with pleasantries. They would wait till I was done.Shiro stepped in front of me and pushed the door to the boardroom open and the conversation stopped.The men and women seated around the familiar long table all turned to the door to see who had interrupted them and I smiled as countless jaws dropped when they saw who entered the room.“What are you doing here?” Sabrina was the first one to hiss. She got up from her seat and marched towards me with enough hostility to tear a person apart.“I thought I warned you to never step foot in my company” She sneered when she got to me “Security, take this trash out” She yelled over my

“Hey, Little Ro” I bent down to place a kiss on his curly head while he leaned against Davian’s chest in the living room. “Hey, babe” I placed a small kiss on Davian’s lips. They were both watching a cartoon that I couldn't name. Well, Ronan was watching and Davian was listening to him ramble about the characters on the screen.“Hi, Mummy.” He replied cutely and reached for me with grabby hands. I picked him up and allowed him to wrap his hands around my neck. “How was school today baby? Did you make any new friends?”Ronan started preschool today. Davian and I wanted him to make more friends and see if it would help him come out of his shell a little bit.He shook his head with a pout and I caught Davian’s shrug from behind his shoulders. “That’s okay, baby. It's only the first day. Is your teacher nice to you?” I kissed him on the cheek again and was relieved that he nodded his head instead.Children were the best way to find out about their teachers since they were very honest

REVENGE and TEMPTATIONS Epilogue
Three Years Later:I checked my appearance for the nth time. I was nervous, but I was also excited because today was my baby's first recital.I can’t believe three years have passed since everything happened. My life has been so happy. I can’t ever remember it’s signing my life when I felt this much peace for such a long time.I had nothing to worry about; I was surrounded by people who loved me and supported me. It was insane that I had a life that was so perfect.My phone began ringing, and he picked it up from the table in front of me."Obaasan,” I cried out happily as soon as he answered the call. “I was just going to call you.” I said it with a smile in my voice.“I’m sure you were,” she teased. Ever since I promised to call her one day and I forgot to do so, she never believed me. I told her I wanted to call her.“I promise. I was going to call you because I wanted to talk to you before we left the house,” I said with a pout.“You haven’t left yet?” She questioned me with an acc

“I’ll wait for you by the car." Divine pressed the kiss to my forehead and walked back to the car while I made my way into the cemetery.I haven’t been here since dad was buried, and it was weird, to say the least. I missed him a lot, and I was sorry that I had never visited since the six years he had been here.Maybe I was ashamed because of the hate I felt towards him in the four years that followed his death.It didn’t take long for me to reach this spot where he was buried. Words could not describe the emotions that were flowing through me as I placed the flower on the grave.“Hi dad,” I whispered, and I took a seat on the grass beside his grave. Thankfully, Shiro had paid someone to always make sure that the grave was always clean and well taken care of, so there were no overgrown grasses or thorns on the bed.“I’m sorry I haven’t visited in a very long time. I was very angry because of the misunderstanding caused by Sabrina. I’m sure you must have been lonely.” I’m also cute, wh

I groaned as my eyes opened groggily. The first thing I noticed was that I was no longer in the hospital room.I lurched forward in shock, but my body was dragged back with a force that caused me to look down. I was tied to a chair, and the movement has caused pain to travel up my healing hand.Blood trickled down the bandaged hand, meaning I must have hurt it while trying to move. I winced as the pain from the hand increased.“Can I get a fucking break? I was just shot and now kidnapped.” I cursed and looked to the ceiling, but there was nothing to look at.The roof was falling, and I doubt it would hold if a storm were to happen.“And an abandoned warehouse too,” I scoffed when I took in my surroundings. Judging from the look of this place, I’m sure no one has been here in years.“Aren’t you going to come out, Sabrina?” I called when no one would step forward or speak to me.I wasn’t stupid. I could feel eyes on me, so I knew she and whoever helped her bring me here were in the shad

I could hear the loud beeping, but my eyes wouldn’t open, so I couldn't see where I was. One thing was certain, though. I wasn’t in bed with Davian, as the bed was too hard and the sheets over me weren’t familiar.“Maliah?” I heard Davian whisper. It sounded like he was so close yet so far, and I tried to pry my eyes open, but it wouldn’t budge.“Are you awake? Can you hear me?” He asked again, but this time his voice was more desperate.I was also desperate to open my eyes so I could see the family grey eyes I fell in love with, but my body seemed to have forgotten how to function.“Can you twitch your hands for me, love, if you can hear me? Please, baby,” he pleaded, and I tried my best to move any part of my body.I hated that tone on him. I didn’t like how desperate and almost close to tears he was. My brain wasn’t functioning well, and I was having a hard time figuring out why I was here, unable to open my eyes or move, or even what had happened earlier.“She moved her fingers,”

The pain never came as I closed my eyes and waited for it. What came instead was Blair’s cry of pain, and I heard the gun clatter to the ground.I opened my eyes, and a strangled gasp escaped me when I saw the familiar custom-made tanto embedded in her hand, which had been holding the gun earlier.Blair’s other hand held the hand that was now bleeding profusely as she cried out in pain.My eyes snapped to the door to find my Oniichan standing there with a glare in his eyes and the sheath of his tanto in his hands.“What the fuck?” Blair screamed in pain.Shiro walked over to me and began to search for any signs of injuries.“I’m fine, Oniichan. Nothing happened. You came on time,” I muttered shakily.We looked behind me to see the spot where the bullet had been embedded.“We need to get that out of her hand before she loses too much blood and call the police too,” I told him.I winced as I looked at Blair again. The floor now had her blood as she cried.“What? Are you crazy?” Shiro hi

I stilled at the question, and a cold crept up my spine. My head snapped to the back, and I gasped in fear to see Blair at my back. How did she get in?I said nothing to her at first. I wasn’t going to confront her in front of my babies, so I turned back to them with the most genuine smile I could muster.“Mummy, who is she? Is she a bad person?” Keita asked, his brows in a frown as he kept watching her from the end of the screen.“Keita, why don’t you keep your siblings company? I have to attend to my guest, and I’ll call you back as soon as I finish here, okay? Maybe Dad will be back by then, and you can talk to him too. Is that a good deal?” I proposed, knowing they might protest a bit.“Okay?” He answered with uncertainty, still not taking his eyes off Blair. “Will you be fine, Mom?” He asked again, and I nodded.“Of course, I’ll be fine. I know her,” I said, but they looked like they didn’t believe me. Just like the twins, though, Little Ro had a curious expression on his face as

The impact of the news release was crazy. The effect was bigger than we expected, and the fans were angry. I was actually scared of the uproar the revelation of who Blair really was caused, and I was somehow worried when I saw articles of people demanding her head.“The comments are crazy, Maliah. This is bigger than we expected.” Ria said it with surprise as she scrolled through the comment section.“I know, right? It’s almost as if a saint got disgraced. I didn’t know she had this big of a fan base, and now they’ve turned on her,” I said with worry, and I glanced at the tab in my hand as well.I was also going through the comment sections, and while I was satisfied with the result, it was still alarming at how quickly people turned against others.“Apart from the comments tearing her apart, what do we have? Remember, she shouldn’t be able to recover from this.” I reminded Ria and logged out of the tab before I started gaining sympathy for Blair because of the violent threats her for

A wide grin appeared on my face when I saw Davian climb down from the private jet. He had insisted that he would meet me at home, but I was too eager to see him. I missed him like crazy."I told you not to come," he said with a roll of his eyes as he handed the bag he was holding to the nearest bodyguard, but he had a pleased grin on his face."I missed you," I muttered before I flung myself into his waiting arms. "It felt like you were gone forever," I mumbled into his neck.Davian laughed, but his hands tightened around my waist, and he pulled me closer. I felt his lips leave kisses on my hair and the side of my head."I missed you more, kitten. Maybe we should go together next time?" He offered, and I nodded eagerly.I leaned back to kiss him just as eagerly as I felt, and he groaned against my mouth and deepened the kiss."At least wait until you are home," Kurt mused. I had almost forgotten that he had gone with Davian.Harvey and Isa chose to stay home and wait for Kurt since I

“I still can't believe that Nova was the cause of everything. You can never fully trust anyone,” Harvey said with a shake of her head and disdain in her lips.“I'll be proving her right if I say that after everything you've done for her, but she was cruel and ungrateful to do that. She had a gem of a friend in you,” Isa added."Honestly,” I said with a sigh, “I just want to forget she existed. It's going to be hard, but I don't want to think about or talk about her. I'm just happy that we discovered everything before she did more damage.” Davian and Kurt left for Vegas for a business expo, so I decided to stay with Isa and Harvey for the two days they would be gone since I didn't want to be home alone. “You've been through a lot, child. Whatever it is that's going on, I hope you don't get hurt and keep yourself safe at all times." Isa reached out to grasp my hands and gave them a little squeeze."Thank you, Isa. I promise I won't let harm come to Ronan again because of what I'm doi
