last update Huling Na-update: 2025-01-19 10:25:09

Edward POV

I was lost in complete shock. My Nessa got into an accident? How on earth did that happen.

Was she with Liam?

Are they both safe?

I need urgent answers. Feeling restless while seated in the car, I browse through my phone.

Fuck.

She had sent me some texts already. Why didn't my PA tell me. I place a call to Liam's school. He's still there. I need to get him first before going to see Nessa.

I feel so upset about this. Was it a set up? I'd loose myself if anything happens to her.

"Drive faster Xavier. This is urgent." I yelled at my driver with hopes to hasten him up. I also texted my private investigator. There's a lot of work to be done.

***

Vanessa POV

The sounds of police and ambulance sirens echoed in my head as my eyes slowly drifted open. An immediate sharp pain around my head followed, with a feeling of a bandage, wrapped around it.

Where was I?

My eyeballs moved a little, scanning the location. I am in a hospital, lying flat on a bed, with my left arm connected to a drip.

It's a miracle I made it out of that scenario alive, but the last thing I remember is a gun being pointed to my head.

I need to be out of here. Liam's still in school. Who's going to—

"Princess? Thank God you're awake." Daniel's voice filled my ears as he strolled into the room with two nurses. Edward wasn't here but at least he was.

"Daniel? How did find me?" I asked curiously, trying to sit up on the bed but I was instantly stopped by a severe back pain that followed my movement.

"Careful." Daniel said, rushing to hold me as his hands guided me in sitting upright.

"I called 911 like you said and they traced the call to your location. Thank God you didn't hang up."

He is so thoughtful and kind. What if I wasn't speaking to him when it happened?

"I appreciate you Daniel, but what exactly happened to me? And where's the strange guy who drove the car?"

"You were involved in an accident Miss Coleman." A nurse cut in, explaining things to me.

"It was very severe but somehow you managed to survive without any fatal injuries."

Oh wow. What a crazy day.

"And the guy?" I asked more intensely. I needed to know.

"You were the only one in the crash when we got there. It's almost like he escaped." Daniel added, motioning towards me to sit beside the bed.

"That's exactly what he did. My car was hijacked by a fake. He was a strange man I'd never seen before in my life." I complained, feeling a little tired and dizzy from the whole conversation.

Daniel moved to sit on the bed with me, and he stretched out his hands, entwining them with mine.

I looked up to him and the instant connection with his eyes brought a calm to my mind.

"Relax princess, everything will be fine. What matters now is your recovery." He assured, almost making me feel like nothing bad ever happened.

His right hand moved to the side table picking up a bouquet of the most gorgeous pink roses I'd ever seen.

Who was this man?

"This is for you. I had planned to give you tonight during our date but I want you to have them now"

Daniel West. I'd throw my arms around you and kiss you if my head wasn't hurting so bad.

I took the bouquet, reveling in the sight of amazing colors and the wonderful scent.

"This is so thoughtful of you Daniel, you're an amazing—

My words trailed off, sighting Liam and Edward as they emerged from the door.

"Mommy!" Liam yelled running into the room to embrace me. He looked sad to see me this way. Tears began forming in his eyes. My sweet boy. I missed you but this is bad timing. Daniel didn't know about him yet. I looked in his direction. He stood up, his smile quickly switching to a frown at the sight of Edward.

Edward walked in, staring at me as he got closer to the bed. He signaled the nurses to leave.

"I'm Sorry Nessa." He whispered, a look of pity visible on his face for seeing me in this condition. It's Almost like he wanted to embrace me but he's holding back.

He turned to face Daniel who was speechless at the sight of Liam. He didn't need any explanation, it was very clear he was Edward's son from just the appearance and he called me mommy.

"Why are you here West? What do you want?"

Edward questioned Daniel, moving his gaze towards him.

"That's none of your business. In fact I was leaving."

Daniel replied picking his coat from the table in attempts to walk out.

"Daniel please don't go," I asked using the little strength I had in my left arm to hold his wrist.

He looked at me, feeling betrayed.

"Why did you keep this from me Vanessa? " he asked.

"Because it's none of your fucking business West, now get out!" Edward yelled at him.

"Edward, don't talk to him like that!" I warned, detaching the drip from my left hand so I could get off the bed.

"Don't tell me what to do Nessa, you don't even know this guy. What if he's behind the accident? How did he know you were here? I'm just looking out for you."

I didn't like the fact that Liam was here to witness all this chaos, so I sent him out to go sit with the nurses.

Now back to these men.

"Edward I told you about the driver switch first but guess who was there for me? Daniel. If it wasn't for him who knows what would have happened to me."

"I wasn't with my phone when you texted. I'll explain everything later. But he shouldn't be here"

“Neither should you Edward. All you do is complicate things. You don't deserve her." Daniel said angrily facing Edward with annoyance written on his face.

"You don't know anything about Nessa and I. I'm 10 times the man you'll ever be"

"Is that what you think? You're so entitled and full of yourself, Edward, just like old times."

Fighting the pain, I got up in attempts to separate them. There's too much bad blood, and what does Daniel mean by old times?

"Enough!" I yelled even higher this time, walking towards them, despite the sharp feeling from my back that caused me to crouch in pain.

“Ah" I yelled, moving back to the bed for support. Edward reached for me by the waist.

I was very upset with him, all I wanted was to push him away and clear things with Daniel.

Edward fetched the nurses and they came in.

"You need to be on bed rest for at least 3 days till you can get better miss Coleman." One of the nurses told me.

Daniel remained silent and used this opportunity to leave without saying a word.

My stomach turned with nervousness.

Why did events in my life feel so chaotic?

Was I going to loose Daniel too?

  • Taming Mr Billionaire    Chapter 13: pieces of the puzzle

    Vanessa POV The faint aroma of the pink flowers Edward had set in a vase on the kitchen counter blended with the smell of roast chicken as it spread into the living room. Sunlight poured through the living room's floor-to-ceiling windows as I lay in a warm blanket on the plush couch with my head resting on a pillow. The accident still hurt my body, but the bruises were getting better, and the bandages on my head were about to come off. Every employee at the mansion, including the gardeners and maids, was momentarily removed to be questioned about the accident. For all we know it could have been anyone. "Look, mommy! Check out what I got from Edward!” I was interrupted by Liam's eager voice. His smile might have illuminated the entire mansion as he rushed into the room with a bright red toy race vehicle. Wincing a little at the tug in my lower back, I managed a small grin and sat up straighter. Even though my chest was constricted, I murmured, "That's a really cool car, sweethea

    Vanessa POVThe air smelt like lavender flowers in the beautiful garden. I sat on the picnic mat, dressed in a mini sundress and entwined in Edward’s arms. My giggles and laughter echoed out of me as he tickled my body. His sexy grin, very alluring and full of mischief made it almost impossible for me to be annoyed. “Alright fine. You win!” I screamed cheerfully managing to push his hands away as I escaped from his embrace. I got up from the mat and spun around in excitement. Edward leaned back on his elbows and crossed his legs, watching me with those piercing blue eyes that saw right through my soul. “Nessa,” he spoke, calling to me softly with a hint of sudden seriousness in his tone. “I don’t think I’ve ever been this happy.” I froze, eyes lighting up as I walked back to the mat and positioned my self on top of him. “Oh yeah? Not even when you won the gambling lottery last week?” I asked, raising my eyebrows as I joked. Edward laughed, shaking his head in opposition. “Th

  • Taming Mr Billionaire    Chapter 15: A fractured Bond

    Vanessa POVThe body guards won’t let me out of their sight, so I pleaded for 20 minutes of space before they came looking for me again. Daniel had given me the address to his company earlier, so I planned to confront him there.When I got to the entrance, the site of the company label boldly written over the high rise roof came to view. “Westborne Inc.” I said the name, walking into what felt like another world. The interior looked very modern, sleek and exotic. Everything shined like it was just newly polished and it made the ambience more appealing. I adjusted the hem of my pink dress, letting the soft silk press against my skin. It’s part of the dresses I bought on the afternoon of the accident. The corset waist held me firmly, extenuating my curves. I paired it with nude heels that caused the marble floors to click as I made my way to the receptionist. Earlier, I pulled my red hair into a slick back low bun. I was finally able to style my hair again after the head bandages we

The bald hitman who tried to harm Vanessa. His wrists were tightly tied behind him as he sat in a way that caused him to slouch on his chair.Glancing at him, you’d think he was full of fight. But my senses knew there was fear in his eyes and a tremble coming from his lips.Leaning against the table, I rolled my office sleeves up, adjusting my cuff links too.

His death stares were very intense, it almost made me feel sorry for whoever ended dup in that iron chair.“Do you know who I am?” I began lowly, my voice entwined with havoc. “Let’s move from intro

A sex deprived married man who wanted some fun. He goes by the name Billy. I'm laying on the bed and he's on top of me, fucking me like his life depends on it.

I could smell it faintly, a musky cologne. I adjusted the straps on my silk top and texted Daniel back. ‘I’m Spending some time with Liam and Edward. Okay, let's reschedule for next weekend.” I felt guilty, saying this to him. It felt like I was cheating him of not spending quality time with me. I glanced briefly at the emerald bracelet he gave me on my wrist for some closure. Next weekend had to be next weekend. Liam's joyful voice rang through the living room as soon as I pushed the send button. "Mommy, Daddy made dinner!" My gaze followed Liam's, and my breathing quickened.

    The roses should have arrived by now. I sat behind my desk, drumming my fingers against the polished surface, my phone screen still open to the delivery confirmation. A hundred pink roses, Vanessa’s favorite. A simple gesture—an apology without words. I wasn’t naive enough to think a bouquet could erase last night. The way she walked away, how she didn’t even spare me a second glance. I had been too stunned to react. Too blindsided by Wendy’s theatrics. I shook my head in annoyance, I should have know this was coming.The landline in my office rang, drifting me out of my thoughts.“Mr West, Miss Hawthrone is in the lobby and would like to see you.” My secretary announced.Of course she was. Before I could even command for her to be let in, she stormed in like a hurricane, the floors became noisy as her shoes clicked on them.“You sent her pink roses?” She yelled, throwing her purse on my office desk. “How romantic”I didn’t even look up, her energy and mine were different.“Why ar

    Vanessa POVThe golden brightness of the rising morning sun outside cast a faint light around the hotel suite As I stirred, the silk sheets wrapped over my legs, causing me to blink out of slumber. The warmth alongside me should have been soothing, but Edward's raspy breathing and rigid physique in his slumber revealed a different story. He was having a dream, no, a nightmare. I sat up, pushing my hand on his moist, exposed chest, and felt his racing beating beneath my palm. Edward’s brow furrowed, and droplets of sweat stuck to his skin as he murmured something i couldn’t understand. Then his entire body shook, his hands gripping into the covers.I leaned closer. I said in a whisper, running my fingertips over his jaw, "Edward." Wake up.” Sharp, rapid breaths rose and fell in his chest as his eyes burst wide, wild and disoriented. He just gazed at me for a time, his body still rigid from whatever torture his fantasies had been. His features softened, and recognition flared in his

I smirked, watching her. She was Mine. I felt so intoxicated by the way she moaned, the way she gasped, the way she fell apart in my hands.Oh God, I missed this.I Missed her. Missed every inch of her body, the way she said my name when she was lost in pleasure, the way she responded to my touch..It had been so long, too long. All those Years of pretending I didn’t need her, of forcing myself to move on. They were of no use because no matter how many women I touched, how many lips I kissed, no one ever felt like this. Like home.I traced the outline of her hips as my fingers moved down the curve of her waist, and memorizing her all over again. Vanessa looked softer now, more womanly, but she was still the same Vanessa that once consumed every inch of my life.Still kneeling
