Alizeh's POV
Layla pulled over her car near my apartment.
We got out of it together. I shook Kiara to wake up but she was unbothered. It's nearly 4 am. I picked her up in my arms. My God, she is turning heavier.
I walked ahead while I could feel Layla's continuous stare at me.
I couldn't walk ahead because of how she held my eyes. She shook his head, smiling a little.
"Thank you, for being there with all of us," I felt relieved.
"Mention not. Besides, I love to be around you" she pinched my cheeks. I smiled so much, feeling my warmth rushing up to my cheeks.
"I wish I could tell you something tonight but it's not possible." Her words churned my heart.
I somehow knew she was hinting to tell me something, which I already knew but still I did not come to the conclusion.
"Never mi

Alizeh's POV I closed my eyes, fighting not to cry. When Alexander finally left, suddenly I felt scared for unknown waves coming at me. But this was it. This time I understood what I don't want, which is I can't settle for less even if it comes with more. I covered my face with palms and let the tears flow down. "Ali" Kiara's soft voice fell on my ears. I immediately wiped my teary eyes and looked at her. "Yeah" I tried to keep my voice clear. "I'm sorry," she said. "It's okay" I said and she smiled showing her crooked teeth. And just like that, we were back again. "Are you really going to marry Layla?"
Alizeh's POV The next day arrived with some chaotic unwanted trips. My mother forcefully took me for dinner at Issac's home, leaving Kiara behind with Anna. My mind was still eating up with previous incidents. He welcomed us to his small house, located nearby the beautiful lake. His mother came out just to see me. Then both parties greeted each other. My mother appeared ecstatic. "What happened?" I asked him. "I will check her. You both become comfortable" he said and went behind his mother. I sighed thinking about how to be comfortable when his mother has already shown her disagreement. I looked at Kiara who was in her world, looking around the house. It has less furniture and looks quite spacious. After a while, Issac came out with his mother. We sat at the dining table, in s

Yes, I am finally going to be a bride. Today, while looking at myself in the mirror all dolled up as a bride I can't believe my destiny has finally led me till here. All the way I have cursed my destiny for not being with me but now finally the love knocked on the door of my heart. I am getting ready for my love, Layla. Since the day she proposed to me, we have never looked back. Every day with her passed like a new day in my life. She always left me surprised. We thanked God for breaking my sandals that day and Layla forgetting the address, so we could come across the reason for helping each other but never thought we would be bound by hearts. After staying in

Alizeh's POVSuddenly the doorbell rang."Kia, wash your hands properly""You are definitely upset, Mommy," She said stepping up on the wooden stool and washed her hands in the sink.I wanted to tell her to stop understanding me! That she isn't that old to understand me.I walked to the door hastily and opened it."Hi Ali, Woah! Are you going to a fancy-dress competition? Because you look like a Panda with that smudged eyeliner and you might get the price too" Anna s
Alizeh's POVAfter walking out of my apartment, I got into my car, put the key in, and started it. The engine grumbled for a moment and stopped. The indicator flashed the empty tank sign. I slammed my hands on the steering.The day can't get more irritating. So many obstacles I am facing today and then this. Dammmit.Stupid car. But I will not give up. Otherwise, my mum would kill me. I have disappointed her much already. If I give her any reason then she would think I have deliberately done it. I will go on a date for sure either this way, I looked at my right or this way, I looked at the road and decided to take a cab. I got down from the car, locking it, and walked out of the gate.While walking towards the main
Alizeh's POV I entered the cafe with confidence until I glanced around and saw how pretty the place's ambiance is and the people here. That made me feel self-conscious. I saw a hand waving at me. I looked in the direction and the crowd disappeared to the side. There I saw him. Jason! Sitting at one table, smiling at me. I took a deep breath trying to appear composed and walked towards him. He looked quite the same as he looked in his profile picture. In fact, he looked much better in real life. He wore a crisp white shirt. The same gelled hair, light stubble, and smile on his face. A sigh of relief washed over me thinking about the last I am finally on a genuine date after so many years. As I reached near, he got up. He appeared taller than I thought. His attire suited him. Seems like he

Alizeh's POV "Alizeh, please help. It's painting a lot" Olive cried holding her heavy belly. I gasped looking at her state. She screamed in between too which clenched my heart. "Wait, let me call an ambulance," I gasped and ran inside. I heard Olive screaming in pain again. "What happened?" Layla panicked. Macmillan looked at Olive. A scream let out from her mouth when she saw him "Macmillan! Oh my god!" Uh-oh girl this isn't a time for fangirling. I was searching for the ambulance number in the directory. "I don't know, she is in pain. I need to call an ambulance" I said and glanced at her. She was holding Olive by hand. "Ali, I think she is having contractions." She said "What? What's that?"&n
Alizeh's POV "And then it was the lowest grade she has ever got" I talked about Kiara's teacher, Issac Gray to Layla. She intently listened to me. "It's fine Ali. She will get back on track again. I trust Kiara. She seems intelligent" She said, sipping her coffee. "But not in mathematics, I don't know what else I can do for her. I think I should find a good tutor for her" I put up my idea at the same time I wanted to bang my head on something. Come on, she is a daughter of a woman who works in the finance department who can't poop in the subjects like mathematics! Layla looked at me." How about I tutor her?" My breathing hitched. "You? Are you s-sure?" "I have done this before, besides mathematics is my favorite subject. I will teach her if you want and for that
When I opened my eyes, it all felt like a nightmare. Kiara was sitting in front of me. I got up and leaped into a hug, pulling her closer to my chest. Never before have I felt like this. Losing her is the worst possible thing life can give me. My eyes fell on Anna, Sofia, and Edward. Edward came ahead and sat beside me. "Are you okay hun?" Anna gave me a glass of water. I drank it hurriedly. "I'm okay guys. Sorry to disturb you all" I murmured looking down. "Now you have disturbed, tell us what has happened?" Anna sat beside me with a questioning face. I shook my head sideways. I couldn't even dare to utter those words as they ached my heart. Anna let out a sigh. Edward patted my head gently. "Let her get some rest. We will talk about it when she will want" I thanked Edward. After everybody left
Alizeh's POV The other day, while doing the work my phone rang. When I checked the phone, it was MacMillan. I received it one go. "Bambolina, SOS, come down fast I am waiting," he sounded in hurry and without letting me ask anything about what and why he cut the call. I grabbed my purse hastily cursing him and walked towards the elevator. After coming out of the elevator, I walked out of the building and saw Macmillan's car. He peeped his head out of the car and waved his hand at me. I walked at him, meanwhile, he got down from the car and opened the door for me. "What happened?" I asked while getting in. "A major problem has occurred," He sounded concerned and serious while running back to his car and getting in. "Okay, but what is it exactly?" I put my seatbelt on while he adjusted once glanced at him
