MALIA… A numbling cold crept up my leg, the frostbite speeding it's lay fingers of pain and each heartbeat of mine was a skedge hammer pounding against my chest. "You can't just take my father away, I won't let you do so. You can also pass my message to me Reynold" I announced "please Ma'am you need to let us do our job, we won't arrest Mr Alessandro without any evidence. We've seen the miserable state of Brianna Reynold and all fingers are pointing towards him" the officer explianed "Should I repeat myself? I said I won't let you take him away and don't even dare lay your filthy hands on him" "Princess just let them do their job and getting involved with the police will only drag this case for long, you should just let them take me and I'm sure you'll surely get me bailed out" Dad chimed in "If I were you I'll listen to him, if you wish to say anything you're free to come to the police station no one will stop you but if you try to interrupt my work once more I'll have no other
MALIA… A full day had passed and my eyes were constantly checking the time and my phone for his message but I didn't see a missed call or a message which meant Larson still hasn't decided to give into my offer. I don't see anything wrong with my offer, likewise I have explianed this will benefit us but I guess his massive ego is more important than anything else and right now I'm going to show him that side of me he has never seen before, the selfish Malia Smith that he claims I am. I sucked in a deep breath, my head leaned on the steering and Frances hands rubbing my back as she tried to calm me down. "Think about it once more, I mean the step you're about to take is it the right one?" Frances asked, her eyes filed with worry "Please babes if people should doubt me and throw several questions at me then you shouldn't be among them" I excliamed with despair "I'm just being bothered about you that's why I want you to rethink about your decision but if you feel it's right then I'm
LARSON…"Officer Kaiden, my source has informed me that Malia bribed you to gain access into the police station when it wasn't time for visiting hours" I announced to the caller with gritted teeth and pushing through the pain and betrayal, refusing to let it control me"Please forgive me Mr Reynold, I thought she was just going to see her father, I didn't know she had such plans" officer Kaiden explianed"Oh shut up! Is this how you carry out your duties? how dare you bargain with a business woman? I don't give a fuck about your apologies. If you want me to overlook your misdeeds and secure your job you'll have to make sure Malia doesn't leave this country" I threatened, hanging up the call and slamming my hand on the steering."Damn it Malia, you really shouldn't have done this. I know he's your father but why can't you see his intentions? he isn't the saint he potrays him self as" I murmured in the silence of my car, my thoughts screamed the loudest and a cacophony of self doubt and
MALIA…Three weeks later…"You are feeling weak because you shouldn't be stressing yourself in this condition, right now you need to take enough rest so you can take care of someone else" doctor Serena words rang in my ears as I looked at her with confusion in my eyes"I'm sorry I don't understand your words. Can you please elucidate I can't just seem to wrap my head around what you're trying to say" I said, rubbing my palms together"Congratulations on this good news Malia, you are pregnant"" What!?" I excliamed with shock flickered on my face. My hands rubbed my stomach slowly and tears welled up in my eyes."You mean to say I'm going to become a mother, I'm having a tiny little cute baby. Frances did you hear that?" I muttered, grabbing the test reports from doctor Serena as I stared down at it"Yeah I heared every word and I'm so happy for you. You are going to become a mother and I am going to become an aunt, I could never have imagined that time passes so fast" Frances chimed i
EIGHT YEARS LATER…LARSON…I was blankly staring at the glassy window of storm's aviation with the thoughts of Malia racing through my head. It had been eight long years of torture for me especially when I have had to live without her in my life.The pain which has consumed my life bloomed slowly, like a rose unfolding it's petals and taking over my conciousness one thorn at a time and the headache I felt was gnawing on my brain with rusty razor teeth and sharpening it's teeth on the inside of my skull, pressing on the back of my eyes with rude sharp fingers.I had the impression that I was on the outside of the world looking through a window made of glass which could easily shatter into tiny pieces.I felt like I was a snail moving in a slow pace while everyone else around me seemed to be flying high. Despite my efforts I was unable to rid myself of the heart piercing feeling that my life has crumbled and there was nothing I could do about it.Neither the dawn of a new day or the dar
MALIA… I applied pressure on the painful area and when my pressure was suddenly released I noticed the patient's reaction which meant the pain was eating him up and I instantly knew that his adjacent peritoneum was inflammed, he had appendicitis and needed to be operated on as soon as possible otherwise it might end up bursting. I needed to remove the inflamed appendix and before the surgery I gave him a dose of antibiotics to prevent infection. The patient changed into the hospital gown and proceeded to the operation theatre with the help of the hospital stretcher which was rolled by a nurse. I made him lie on his back and I injected him with a general anesthesia to put him into a deep sleep and he was also given a muscle relaxant to prevent muscle spams. A thin tube was placed through his mouth, deep into his throat to maintain a clear way and monitor his breathing and I made sure to monitor his vital organs continuously during the surgery. I was performing an open appendectomy
MALIA… "Aren't you slightly ashamed of yourself? how dare you say such hurtful words to a child!" I snapped with a shaking voice which I tried to keep in control "Ma'am please you've got it all wrong, she came to me with the paper and I asked her why she hadn't filled it yet then she said you were so busy with work and she didn't want to disturb you so she asked me to help her fill it and that was when I asked about her father" "Oh please shut up that thing of yours which you call a mouth. I really shouldn't be using such vulgar words in front of my daughter but I can't help the fire burning inside of me, I heared you correctly when you called her a fatherless little girl. I'm not deaf neither I'm I foolish not to understand your words" "Please forgive me ma'am I won't ever repeat my mistake again" the woman pleaded with folded hands "So you finally realise you made a mistake and you should never interrupt me when I'm talking. As for my daughter she'll be attending the excursion w
MALIA…"Mama please you need to wake up, I don't wanna be late for my school's excursion" I suddenly heared a familiar voice repeating something to me for a second time and I winced as she snatched my arm and coldness seeped through me.I opened my eyes, almost screaming at the sight before me as my gaze wandered over Kyla's face. She was already properly dressed in her school uniform."Goodmorning Mama" she screamed with a smile on her face and I had to cover my ears from her loud piercy scream"Goodmorning baby, how was your night?""It was so peaceful mama""Even without you telling me about your night I know you didn't sleep at all because you've had your school excursion on your mind but baby it's too early why did you have to wake your aunt up to dress you up" I beeseched"I didn't wake her up I bathed myself and got dressed all on my own" she said as her large dull blue eyes shone at me, showcasing her deep dimple on the left side of her cheek"What! did you do all this by your
MALIA…Five months later..My bump had grown bigger and we finally went to the doctor for an ultra scan to know the baby's gender.I was beyond suprised when I found out I was going to give birth to triplets, a boy and two girls. Kyla's wish finally came to pass.Larson was the happiest and I was more scared than ever, carrying my first baby was so chaotic and I wondered how I was going to give birth to triplets.We decided not to disclose the information we got from the gynaecologist and if any one asked us we would just say we didn't want to find out anymore.Larson wanted the birth of the triplets to come as a shock to everyone. It was Kyla's birthday and we had already cut the cake and shared it among her friends from school.I was feeling very restless since I woke up but I didn't want to disappoint Kyla so I had to force myself to work.Larson and Frances insisted I sat still and they would do the work but I insisted on doing them otherwise I would feel bored.The love, care, an
MALIA…The universe inscribed love in every one's fate but it was left to us humans to find that love and I found mine which is Larson.There were barriers in our relationship but it blossomed into love, making us a compatable couple.Tears of joy burned in my eyes as I reapplied some lip gloss and eye liner, staring at my reflection in the mirror and I suddenly felt as if I was watching myself from a great distance.Looking at my wedding dress filled me with amusement and curiosity of how my life will take another turn after marriage.I was drapped in a long gorgeous flowing white gown which flowed like a river in the wind.Indeed it was the most beautiful gown I had ever seen in a mysterious shade of white, sprinkled with silver sequins as it clung to my curves with a slit on one side, clear up to my hip.Frances stood beside me, stroking my hair with one hand as she gestured me to close my eyes and relax.No matter how hard I tried to calm down, my nervousness showed on my face.I
MALIA… The happiness I felt from within was so pure and genuine, I couldn't help but keep screaming and cheering Frances up. She was one woman who had stood by me in both good and difficult times and she deserved the best life could ever offer to her. "I know it's happening soon but I can't bear the thought of seeing you with someone else, I didn't realise my closeness with you and the bond I shared with you will blossom into love, I want to make you mine forever" Logan said as I clapped my hands then Frances began to sob as a tear coursed down my cheek, it was such a beautiful moment that needed to be captured so we would always look at it and reminisce the memories. I realised my phone wasn't with me but when I turned Larson handed it over to me as questions rose in my mind but it wasn't the right time to ask him all that. I grabbed my phone from his hold and captured the moment and I placed it on video mode. "Baby can you please record everything going on here?" I asked polit
MALIA…I felt bad lieing to Larson but I had to do that in order to hide my pregnancy from him otherwise he might begin to suspect and that wouldn't be a great idea.From the way he spoke to me and when he walked out of the room I knew he was upset and it was all my fault, I made him believe I was being careless about my health but that wasn't the case not when I wanted to birth my unborn baby hale and hearty.My eyes glanced at his phone which was on the bed, he must have forgotten it! I thought as I carried it to hand it over to him and probably I could use that opportunity to cheer him up and lighten his mood.I was about to move towards the door when a thought jolted into my head and I unlocked his phone, luckily for me there wasn't any password as I scrolled through his contact list to find doctor Tyson's number.I could recall Larson saying doctor Tyson and him have been old friends so I had a slight chance of getting his number from his phone.My eyes liited up when I saw the n
LARSON…Logan and I only escaped because we managed to fool the ladies and absconded but I knew going back home we would never hear the end of it.Frances was going to deal with Logan while Malia wouldn't have any mercy on me but whatever the case was, I was more than delighted.Logan brought out the stuffs we shopped at the mall out of the car as he handed me the dress which I bought for malia, it was wrapped perfectly in a gift box as he shoved the ring into his pocket also holding onto his own gift box.We entered into the house as I gave him a thumbs up and he left me alone in the living room to go pacify his woman.All of a sudden I began to feel nervous as beads of sweat starting forming on my forehead.It was meant to be a surprise but I didn't know how I should approach malia, telling her I got a gift for her and when she bombards me with questions of any special event happening, I wouldn't have an answer for her because I promised Logan his secret was safe between us and no o
LARSON…I raced behind Logan who was being mischievous as he mislead me, we kept throwing cushions at each other making the whole mansion messy.I must admit despite he came at me first I was feeling every bit of the fun, we had been so engrossed in our business and personal lives that we barely spent some brotherly time together."It's okay, I have had enough Larson and I accept defeat" Logan said, panting hard as he squatted down holding his two ears, just exactly how we would apologise to each other during our childhood.I laughed out loudly and I moved towards him, leaning down to him and smacking his head lightly with my elbow then I yanked him up and gave him a warm hug."You might feel I was chasing you to get you under my control but I was just having fun, like in our childhood days" I said, my eyes darting around and I picked up the jug of water and a glass then I poured the water into the glass before handing it over to Logan who gulped down everything in one go and I also d
MALIA…"Mummy" Kyla screamed, her voice startled me, making my head jolt in her directionShe ran towards me and hugged me, her hands wrapped around my hips and she placed her head on my stomach."Hi baby, is that how much you missed me?" I asked casually and she raised her head up to take a glance at me.Kyla used her hand to gesture me and I leaned down towards her then she kissed me on my cheek."That is how much I missed you mama, I tried calling daddy but he wasn't picking up" she muttered, a bitter edge to her tone and my stomach twisted in knots.Larson carried her in his arms as he still held onto me then he banged his forehead lightly on Kyla's as she giggled."I'm sorry I couldn't pick up your calls, your mama made daddy so worried and I wasn't thinking straight" Larson said, showering her face with kisses"Daddy stop, I feel ticklish" she squealed and he dropped her onto her feet and that was when I saw Logan and Frances coming downstairs, her hand was hooked under his arm
MALIA…My eyes opened slowly as I heared the door creak open with Larson stepping inside.He stood still at the door post as he stared intensely at me with his hands thrusted in his pocket.Heaving a sigh of relief he walked towards me and grabbed a chair as he placed it beside me and sat down.He held my hand in his, kissing the back of my palm softly then he placed my cold palm on his cheek then he sniffed in deeply, releasing a low moan out of his mouth."I was so scared but I'm happy you are okay" Larson said, his voice filled with uneasiness."What did the doctor say?" I asked in a barely low whisper"He said you fell unconscious because of stress and you need to eat healthy and take rest, he also said he is going to prescribe some multi vitamins for you" he replied, using his hand to push away the hair that was escading on my face into my eyes."Just that? he didn't say anything else?" I asked inquisitively, joining my teeth together and Larson's eyebrow scrunched up."Yeah just
LARSON…Daddy's little princess, like I fondly called her. I was beyond estatic when I handed the paper to Malia and I could see that smile which brightened up her face and the emotions she felt from within.I held her hands, taking her to the middle of the dance floor then I flirtatiously removed the paper from her hand and shoved it inside my side pocket.I brought her hands to my shoulder as she grabbed onto it tightly then I pulled her close in a harsh tug as a moanful gasp escaped her lips.I leaned closer, nuzzling my nose in the crook of her neck as I shifted her hair from her neck not forgetting to notice the way she shuddered under my light touch and I smirked seductively."Place your legs on mine!" I ordered"Do you have an idea on what you are saying?" Malia asked and guessing from her reaction she must have been startled."I know what I'm saying and you aren't wearing heels so it's okay, I know you're scared of hurting me but trust me that won't happen" I reassured her and
