He was about to block my path again when Teddy walked up to us and, with his han
Mickey's POVClicking glasses with my staff, I had a bright smile on my face as my heart bubbled with joy.My company had just completed a fashion event that earned us the fifth spot in the whole country. It was worth celebrating.“We are just getting started; get ready for more groundbreaking records,” I said at the top of my voice, and my words were reciprocated with cheers from my staff.My fashion industry was just two years old, yet I had been able to make a name for myself. It was never all my efforts alone; it all spanned down to the support that I received from my staff and, most especially, Lugia Dimitri, my sponsor and savior.After my divorce from Kendrick five years ago, the first thought that came to my mind was to terminate my life and that of the child growing inside of me, but fate had a different plan.Just when I was about to jump off the cliff, a stranger held me from behind, giving me a second chance at life.Those few minutes which we had spoken were forever going
Kendrick’s POVFive years later…“Please calm down, I will handle this as soon as possible,” I rapped, tugging my hair with my phone placed against my ear.At the moment, I was speaking with one of our foreign investors who had just made a call based on the rumors flying around.Our cosmetics products had been tagged fake by a customer, and now we were facing a public backlash.“It’s been three weeks already, yet you haven't done a thing.” Mr. Hyde replied.“Please give me a little more time, I will fix it.” He didn't allow me to coax him further before he hung up on me.With a frustrated look on my face, I plopped on my chair with a thud, swirling around in a bid to relieve myself of the anger that I felt, but it was to no avail.Still trying to get a hang of my current predicament, my door caved in, and Alfred, my assistant, walked in, clutching his iPad.“Sir, the team has rectified the issue.” He said; my eyes lit up, and I grabbed the edge of the table and stood.“I'm glad to hea
Mickey's POV“Kendrick!” I yelled, amidst the mocking laughter he and Kiara shared.“I will call the lawyer to hasten the process so we can get this done with.” He said without a hint of emotion in his voice, and holding Kiara by her waist, he steered her towards the telephone.The conversation was swift but with each word that spewed out of his lips, I saw my life shattering in front of me.Even the baby couldn't save our marriage and sobbing uncontrollably, I began to tug my hair as I hit my chest.Though this wasn't my first betrayal, but this was the first that shattered me to this point and it was definitely going to remain stamped in my memory.Never for once had I imagined that Kiara of all people was going to betray me and she was unapologetic about it.“My lawyer will fax in the papers soon, get ready to sign it.” Kendrick broke into my line of thoughts, only to return his attention to Kiara, who had her head against his chest.While all these went on, I kept begging, hoping
Mickey's POV“... Are you certain?” I asked, my heart slamming against my chest in quick succession.“Yes, Mickey, you’re pregnant, four months to be precise.” Doctor Lohan said, passing the test result to me.“Oh, goodness, thank you so much!” With my hands over my mouth, I squirmed on my seat, shifting from one edge to the other in excitement.It had been five years since I got married to Kendrick, yet, there was no seed to show for it. To make matters worse, our marriage was loveless and was already hitting the rocks.With tears streaming down my face, I said, “Our baby is going to save our marriage.”“Don't forget to visit the hospital regularly, you need to attend antenatal care to ensure your health and that of your baby.”“Yes, I will.” Grabbing my purse off the table, I slung it over my shoulder and with my heart bubbling with joy, I made my way out of his office.Now seated behind the steering wheel of my car, I pushed my hand into my hair as a little laugh erupted from my li
