Steven's point of view
Thinking of work, I still have to go home first to get clothes before going to work. I went against that plan and decided to shop first and then go to work from there.
I didn't have enough courage to face Naomi just yet. I saw the tempting bed inviting me and i fell down flat on the bed, with thoughts wandering my mind.
I thought of Marenda, ever since I got married, it was as if we grew more distant from one another, the only time she called was when she neded money urgently.
I remembered she was the one who encouraged me into getting married saying we would be together but the opposite has been happening.
I thought of Naomi, I thought of the tears and pain I saw in her eyes
Steven's point of viewRealisation dawn to me. I have fallen for Naomi in a way that I couldn't feel anything for Marenda again.My heart was beating fast in a way I couldn't control, as if it wanted to come out of my chest.I walked out of Marenda's house hearing none of the words she was saying while pulling me back towards her. I didn't understand myself neither did I understand my feeling.I felt guilty and bad. Maybe it was because I hurt Naomi that was why I was been haunted. I needed to make things right, when I make things right with Naomi, maybe things will go back to normal."The moment you leave me
Naomi's point of viewI stared at Steven through my eyes while we ate, he looked different and I kinda liked it.The butterflies in my belly began to swim to once more and I loved that feeling. I knew he had a girlfriend but the moment I saw all he did for my forgiveness, I knew my feelings for him was back.I cleared my throat after drinking the water in my glass cup, I was going to ask him why he did all of this."Thank you for the food, but I'm curious to know why you had to go through this much for me," I asked him. Within me I was curious, i wanted to know, to find out why. I bit my lips waiting patiently for him to speak, my eyes blinking as if waiting for him to speak
Steven's point of viewI needed someone to talk, someone who would be able listen to me and give me answers.I paced around in my room in deep thoughts. I wanted to get rid of this complication I had created for myself.How do i let go of Marenda without hurting her? I asked myself that foolish question. How can I let go of Naomi without feeling like the worse man on earth? I was frustrated, it's been long since I punched something maybe that was why? You punched Phillip remember? My subconscious mocked me.Shut up
Third person's point of viewDorathy crushed the paper she had on her hand with anger. How dare Raymond? She thought, she was utterly pissed and angered.She was frustrated and there was no way, she was going to let him have his way. The company belonged to the both of them, she said out loud.Who would he have been if not for her?! She made him, her father helped his pathetic father's life and this is how he'd repay them.First he almost went bankrupt and then tried using her daughter to be in her shoe and now he was standing back to his feet, he wants to give his wealth to Naomi, over her dead body will a situation like that ever happen. It's either she kills him or she kills Naomi.She paced in her room, still crushing the paper tightly when Angela walked into the room.She saw her mo
Thirds person point of viewMarenda was beyond pissed when Steven left her sexually frustrated. How dare he? She thought.She was so horny, she took a naked picture of herself and sent it to him. In less than fifteen minutes he was around and she smirked, knowing well she had his control button in her hand.Everything was going well until he stopped kissing her and started acting strange. She was angry, she wanted to scream.It was all shocking to her as it was the first time she'd ever plead him to pleasure her. She kept screaming but it was if he was in a confused state and wasn't paying attention to any of the words she was saying.She even raised her voice for his attention and all he could say to her was sorry. Was she loosing Steven already?" She asked herself.Steven would do anything to get
Third person's point of viewI looked at Daniel with a Confused expression on my face, i wanted to know how and when did he get a spare key into Marenda's house.What was i missing? What was happening, what was Daniel trying to prove? I was going to ask him no doubt because I was getting more confused than i should be.I stopped him, my curiousity wouldn't let me be if i didn't ask him what was biting me within. "Why do you have her keys and how did you get it?" I asked him.He scrunched his brows before answering me, "There is more than what you know, for now follow my lead first before you can question my
Steven's point of view"I wish I had realised this sooner, I am such a fool, a very big one. To think i caught her so called fake brother named Adam with her on bed and still let her manipulate me is a big shame on me," I spat out, ashamed of my negligence."What? You caught them together?" Daniel asked and i nodded my head."And you let her manipulate you how?" Daniel asked."She told me, he was blackmailing her!" I spat out with a pained voice. I felt betrayed, now I see reason my father never liked her.I see reasons why my father called her a money minded bitch, she was after my money or else no woman in
Steven's point of view"So tell me, who was that girl with you?" I asked Daniel."So what are your plans on winning Naomi's or what's her name heart?" Daniel asked trying to avoid the question I asked."Her name is Naomi. Answer my question Dan, no need to avoid them," I said to him."Relax man, we will get there, we just have to deal with Marenda and her brother or should I say fake brother first then we will talk about the girl you saw earlier," he scratched his hair, something he does whenever he was nervous."The girl?" I asked raising my brows."You know, it's not good for the driver to talk while driving right?" He said.I chuckled, "But the driver can listen right? Man up and answer me Daniel!" I demanded with a deep voice."Okay, fine! But firstly
Steven's point of viewHer words came to me as shock at first but I got over it. I knew I have to assure her and let her know she is the only one i want and no one else."It's a really long story Treasure, but I will tell you for sure," i said to her.I started narrating from the night I made her cry and how I left the house. I explained to how we figured out who Marenda was and what a conniving bitch she was.I told her how Marenda has been an illegal resident in America and how she was caught and taken back to Scotland to face the law of her country."Wow!" She muttered."A lot
Steven's point of viewThe joy of knowing you would be a father was something I never expected to be exciting before. I mean I knew it was great but that feeling was way beyond what I thought.I rushed back to meet the doctor, "Thank you so much!" I thanked the doctor."Hope she's fine?" I asked him."Yes, she is and I mean, you can see her now," he said to me and walked away. Just as he walked away, Naomi's father came rushing into the hospital with Angela.Third person's point of viewLife for Raymond has been hard ever since Angela was diagnosed with an
Steven's point of view.Mr Langford arrived in New York last night. He was the man who Marenda stole from and ran away.After contacting him and telling him of the girl who stole from him location, he said he was coming to New York.Daniel called to tell me of his arrival yesterday and we planned on meeting him today. I looked at myself on the mirror with sympathy while I wore my shirt.I looked rough and unkept, my beards were not shaved and my hair was messy. I haven't been able to eat for the past days since Naomi left.I remembered her father's threat and I got private investigator looking for her. There have gotten no idea where she w
Steven's point of viewBefore I would reach Daniels house, he was already waiting for me at his door with a triumphant smirk on his face."We were the biggest fools in the world, hope you know that?" Daniel said to me. I was confused as to why he said such."And your reason being?" I sighed weakly. I was tired, Naomi disappearance was having a huge toil on me and I was mentally drained.Any other news apart from where Naomi was mattered not to me. I wanted her, I needed her like I needed oxygen and it hurts because we were fine just last night.Where did I go wrong? I saw her this morning, I saw her and I held her then she asked for space,
Third person's point of viewAngela watched her father, she waited for his reply but he said nothing."Why aren't you saying anything father?" She cried out, her voice was shaky."Answer me father! Why are you quiet?" Angela cried out loud, holding unto his suit jacket."I'm..I'm.." Raymond croaked, he didn't know how he'd explain and tell her anything without breaking her heart."Father, father!" She shouted."Angela, I'm really sorry, I'm really..." Before he could complete his statement, Angela brought out a knife."
Naomi's point of view.It was past four in the morning when I woke up. Once my eyes landed on the alarm clock, I tried sitting down on the bed. I was extremely tired from last night.I tried getting up from the bed but winced in pain. "Ouch!" I cried out. My core was hurt. I sat back down on the bed trying to calm my nerves as memories of last night resurfaced making me blush.I finally did the deed! My heart sank when I thought of my plans to leave him.He only treated me well because I was hurt, he doesn't like me. He was only sympathizing with me and trying to be the husband he should be. In as much as I felt pain, last night was one of the best one of my life.
Naomi's point of viewI woke up to the sound of noises downstairs. I wondered what was going on and why the many noises. My eyes were heavy due to the fact I slept with tears in my eyes.I struggled my way downstairs after pulling the duvet off me. I wore my slippers and walked downstairs.I saw Steven speaking to the house help about something I knew not about. When I got there, I saw Steven talking to the house helps. I cleared my throat to get their attention. "Good morning Treasure." Steven said softly with a smile on his face which made my heart flip.
Naomi's point of viewI watched Steven as he spoke, hearing nothing until he last statement, "There is nothing going on with the both of us, I promise you," that was where I had it all."Enough!" I shunned him. I swallowed the invincible lump in my throat, "You don't have to say all of this because you are only deceiving yourself. I know you care for her and you like her so stop with all of this because you are hurting me!" I spat out."Yes! You are hurting me. Stop acting liked you care for me and stop treating me nice because you are hurting more by doing that," by now my eyes was welled up with tear and I didn't mind."You don't know how its hurting me and I am trying to
Naomi's point of viewI didn't ask for the life I was given. No one would proudly ask for a sad and bad life. I had dreams too and like every other humans, I also wished I had a whole family, a family to care for me, a family to love me and a family I could count on.I wanted a life different from the one I was given, I wanted a life where my bed were full of roses. I wanted a life where I smiled more than cry.I lived with my single mother who struggled hard to provide the necessities for the both of us, I was contented with that life, I did not complain, in fact I'd choose that life over this one now.Then she died, breaking my heart into a million pieces, shattering all my hopes. My dreams came crashing in front of me, my mother was indispensable to me but God knew best.That wasn't all, then my father came into the picture, it would have been nice if it was just him al
