Dahlia's POVHe just needed to show the hotel staff how much he didn't want to spend his time with the likes of me, even though I don't want to share a room with him either but I'm not acting all desperate. The receptionist not being able to handle the situation well, calls the manager who apologizes for the mix up but offers to bring in a sofa bed for us to better put privacy between us in the suite. He even offered to have our meals for our entire stay, put under the hotel's tab as compensation for their mistake. I like how the manager is trying to amend the issue but Dai being Mr. arrogance wasn't having it. He refused the offer and requests that I call the driver whom he dismissed after he dropped us, to come get us to another hotel close by this hotel.This hotel is the reception venue for Mr. Laurel's wedding, reasons why almost all the guest are lodged here. "some arrogant jerk sent the driver off without getting his contact details, it's best you stop acting rude and accept t

Dahlia's POVMy head feels like a music band had a drumming practice on it last night, the headache seems to be getting worst as I open my eyes to the light reflecting from the window. It takes a few seconds to realize what happened last night and the reason why I am naked under these sheets.Turning to my left which is empty but has evidence of someone having slept beside me all night, Dai held me all to himself last night. The images of our time together still fresh in my mind. I don't know what will happen next for us, will he finally believe that I am not a gold digger?. I quickly throw the sheets off me and head straight to the bathroom for a quick shower.Dai is sitting on one sofa reading a magazine, when I step out of the room. How do I approach him after last night's event. "Good morning" I greet him taking the service phone to order breakfast."Good morning, I already ordered some breakfast for you, figured you'll be too tired" he seems cool with last night. "but feel comfor

Dahlia's POVI feel like letting the earth open up and swallow me. This is the result of a one night's slip up brought about by lust and passion. One thing I am sure of is that Dai will never be a part of my baby's life. I am going to love him/her to the moon and back. My girls have been very supportive since they learnt about the baby, they didn't need to ask who the father is cuz they already know.I had a few missed calls from Dai in the evening when I arrived home. I am certain he's upset because I left work without permission. I'll let it be and deal with him tomorrow. My girls are against me going back to work because of the pregnancy, even after assuring them a million times that I am fine.I made the girls promise me they weren't going to tell him or anyone, not even Hana's brother. Dai is leaning at the front of his desk when I walk into the office. "Good morning Sir, my apologies for leaving the office without permission yesterday due to ill health" he looks at me with an in

Dahlia's POV "Awwwww My baby is having a baby, I am so excited to welcome my grand baby!" my Mum exclaims with happiness, she has been so supportive since I told her about my life in Japan. She didn't judge me or make me feel like a failure, but instead she made me feel brave for all that I've been through.Coming back to the US was a fast pace plan, I didn't believe I was going to push through with returning home but here we are. Sara, myself and my Mum, having dinner as a family. Since my mum lives in a decent apartment in New York, Sara had suggested we get our own apartment and avoid inconveniencing my Mum. She had already looked for an apartment the night when I returned home and had a break down. She was in close contact with a housing agent in the US who had shown her a few high-end 3 bedroom apartments not far from where my mum lives. I was shocked when she showed me the apartment's layout on her laptop before we left Japan. It was too classy and wealthy for my standards but

Dahlia's POVIt's my second week back home but it feels like I'm missing something, maybe it's just my body's way of responding to pregnancy. It's Monday and the beginning of my new entry level job as a developer. I am thrilled to be working with the new branch of this tech startup. I hope everything goes well.I may have kept my pregnancy from them with hopes that I'll figure something out before my belly starts showing. "Lia the Uber I booked is here, hurry up or we'll be late for work" pause--- So, Sara insisted on taking me to work even if she's not the one driving and I find that very nice of her but also super odd. I am only a month into pregnancy but she has been treating me like one of her mum's China vases. "chill girl!, 'getting into a new role needs a new look' says your girl over here, who has kept me busy over the phone with changing my outfit." I tilt my phone so Sara could see Hana on the facetime."Good job Hana, I must commend your skills. This young lady here doesn'
