LIYA… "No! You won't force me to pay heed to your uncalled request, you're in this condition only because of him" mum said firmly and her voice echoeing in the walls of the hospital room. "Mum are you really being serious right now? just give me one reason why you resent Larson so much. In the past you were so fond of him then what happened to you all of a sudden?" I asked weakly with an oxygen pipe placed under my nose to help with my breathing. "Yeah I would admit there was a time I did like him and I wanted nothing more than the two of you to settle down in life and I didn't deny that anyways but after everything that happened on that night I became a shattered mother, if only he had come to you earlier then you wouldn't have had to suffer so much" she said, her eyes filled with tears. "It's been five long years now and you still haven't forgotten about it, this is so silly of you to think like that mum, you know he isn't to blame for what ever happened to me on that terrible ni
LARSON… "I challenge you!" Malia ejaculated and pushing back her chair, her voice echoed as she rose from the table with a grimace on her face and anger burning through her, she sounded so serious with her voice having an annoyed edge. "What you are doing isn't right Malia, why do you always have to take Larson's Side? I'm sure this idea is his and not yours, this aren't your words but his" Mr Jay shot back "Mr Jay every business man or woman has to take risk and I'm sure no one needs to remind you about that and why do you have a problem with the president's decision? are you angry because you couldn't get the chance to become the president and extort more money from the company?" "Hey girl you had better watch your sharp tongue otherwise" he said pointing a finger towards her but then I gripped his arm hard despite his age and I stepped in front of malia and my size sending a tremor of unease through him. "Otherwise what will you do mr Jay? I desperately need answers from you.
MALIA… Dropping his arms which were clamped round her waist, he stepped back and she wiped her mouth staring up at him as though he had initiated the incident, she smiled knowingly and scornfully and her tiny dimple danced at the corner of her full lips, her eyes mocking me. A trickle of jealousy moved through me wishing he could share half of the love he has for Liya with me but I dismissed it unwilling thinking about the man I slept with and began to love in less than two months. I only smiled faintly and sighed as if to say that this was no more than I had expected, I remembered the connection that existed between Larson and Liya and all I could do was watch the two of them and control my tears especially knowing that this was at least partly my fault. "Words can't express how relieved I feel to see you, why didn't you call me up? I would have come to pick you" Larson said guiding her head to his shoulders. "Then it wouldn't have been a surprise, so baby I need to know the pill y
LARSON… "You said you've sprained your ankle right?" I asked Malia with a big grin on my face. "Yeah I said so" "Then you have to stay still and let me apply the ointment on your ankle" "I don't want to stay here I'm more afraid of my emotions than you" I tucked the ointment away and met her gaze, watching the emotions that crossed her face and the pale look in her eyes made me more confused. I didn't want to accept the fact that I feel something for her, was I too scared to break her heart or break Liya's heart? It was truly a dilemma for me, I knew I have never loved Liya but I felt guilty for having to make her pass through so much pain and I was trying to rectify my mistake but doing that might make me lose the one woman who I think I'm begining to fall in love with. I didn't realise when I automatically touched her, stroking the side of her face and tucking errant curls which were tickling down her face behind her ear while breathing in her familiar scent. "It seems your boyf
MALIA… I was driving along the roadside with my thoughts lingering on whatever transpired in the office. I didn't expect her to regain consciousness so soon, instead of taking rest so she can recover fully she decided to come and claim Larson. "How dare she!" I muttered and banged my hand on the steering wheel as I tried to get hold of my emotions. Yeah I have finally admitted that I love him and I don't care what anyone thinks about me but I know the pain of how it feels to be cheated on that's why I can't bring myself to keep chasing after him knowing fully well his girlfriend is back and they love each other a lot but then why did he shift away when she kissed him? but then another issue came up right at hand when I noticed the brakes of my car wasn't working anymore and panic crept into my heart, it felt as though my stomach had been twisted but then I was grateful I had to use a deserted road because of the traffic jam on the main road otherwise many people would have had to los
MALIA… With my butt hitting the hard surface I raised my head up glancing at the man in front of me, he was someone I never wanted to see in my life and before I could muster the energy to stand up he grabbed a fistful of my hair and yanked me up harshly while digging his fingers into my jawline. "Let go of me! must you always be this abusive?" I shot back at him "You've left me with no other choice than to torture you, I apologized so many times to you I even went as far as sending you gifts but neither did you accept my gifts or apologies. Can't you see I'm trying to atone for my sins and mistakes?" he retorted and slapped me hard on the face which made me stumble and almost lost balance but then he held me tightly in his firm grip. "Maynard is this how you atone for your sins? by hurting me and I have no choice than to believe you are behind this accident? how dare you tamper with the brakes of my car? your level of toxicity is escalating and why don't you understand that I don
LARSON… I opened my mouth to retort but the sound of the call hanging up sent panic rippling through my body and my breath came in quick with shallow gasps as anxiety and anger welled up inside me. I stepped away from Liya and turned towards the door dashing out in full speed and I didn't care to stop when she called my name severally. The thought of Malia being in danger ate me up so badly, I rushed out from the office like an obsessed lover and for some reason I knew my actions brought doubts in the employees minds and I'm sure they were all staring. I pressed the green button on the side and entered inside the elevator which landed me on the last floor and just then my phone beeped and a message flashing on my screen, it was the address of where he is keeping Malia captive. I stepped inside my car and turning the key I pressed my foot down sharply on the break pedal, I was extremely too panicked to care. I applied the brakes and the dust cloud caught up, cloaking the road so thick
LARSON…A massive explosion went off, shaking the ground beneath me and my head slammed against something hard then I laid quietly for some moments staring into the distance and space with my expression sour and intent and also full of consternation. I was momentarily stunned to the brink of unconciousnes before turning slowly to the side and opening my eyes, thinking of what might have happened with the breeze blowing by and I was unable to believe what my eyes has seen, I was too frightened to move.I stood up on my toes and walked towards the door with burning eyes with a deep furrow running across my forehead and I felt consumed by loneliness with blood draining down my face and my eyes were still dilated with the awful fear of death. I saw Malia's body laying lifelessly and I crouched down in front of her, trying to get a closer look.I was having a hard time controlling how I felt. I felt fear again, an emotion I hate so much and it was so strong that it brought tears to my eyes
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
