NADIA’S POVThe doorbell rang, pulling me out of my daydream. I stood up and signaled to my maid not to bother opening the door. I pushed the front door open and welcomed Penelope.After seeing Will off to his car, I had taken my breakfast and called Penelope that I needed to speak with her urgently. My joy knew no bounds when she agreed to come.“I’m so sorry for calling you out suddenly, and that you had to go through the sun’s wrath.” I said, intertwining my right hand with hers.“Oh, darling, you should know I'd do anything for you. Moreover, I didn't like the way you sounded on the phone. Nadia, is there anything wrong?” Penelope questioned, looking concerned.Hot torrents rolled down my cheeks before I could form the words.“Nadia, you need to talk to me. What exactly is going on?” Penelope gave me a worried look.“A lot is going on, Penelope. A lot.” I managed to speak out as tears streamed down to my chin.“Nadia, whatever is going on, I’m here to listen to you. Just try to st

NADIA’S POVTwo weeks here had been nothing short of joy. I was loving and living my dream life all thanks to my husband.Getting enrolled was very easy because Will was supportive. To crown it all, I was able to convince him to allow me to keep a guard who would stay around and not follow me everywhere , making me feel awkward.A smile curled on my lips at the thought of my loving husband.“Hey, Nadia.” Derek called out to me as he walked into the class, with his right hand in his pocket.“Hi, Derek. Didn’t expect to see you so early.” I said, with a smile, as I turned to him when he sat beside me.Derek was a friend I met two days after I got admitted. He was a nice guy and beyond that, I loved his artistic prowess. I liked the fact that he respected me and acted mature.“Yeah, I guess I can say the same thing about you.” He chuckled lightly, and ran his fingers through his dark curls.“Look. I drew the Eiffel Tower, but there’s something weird about it.” I uttered, hoping he could

NADIA’S POV“Will.” My eyelids fluttered open.“Nadia, are you okay now? How are you feeling?”“I’m…I’m okay, now.” I replied softly.He placed his hand on my left cheek, and rubbed it softly with his thumb.“What happened?” He asked, out of concern.“I don’t really know. I was just feeling dizzy and weak. And that happened all of a sudden, so I guess I passed out. How did you know I was taken to the hospital?” I asked, out of curiosity.Before I could speak a word, the door opened, and the doctor walked in with a file in his hand.“Good day, sir.""Good day doctor, thank you so much for everything." Will shook his hands."You are highly welcome and we have good news. The baby is in good condition. Luna Nadia just needs to rest very well. At this stage, she ought to be eating well, and then stress less to avoid being in a bad condition.” The doctor explained.“Thank you, doctor. We’ll note that.”"I will arrange for her discharge immediately."As the doctor walked out, Will’s gaze tur

NINA'S POV.All the parts of my body steamed with pleasure as delight filled my screams and moans. It was a moment of ecstasy as I was being taken to soaring heights right there on my bed.The sheets were a mess and our clothes were strewn recklessly on the floor and the room was lost in our honeyed sounds. I was right at the peak of it all barely containing my excitement when I suddenly crashed back to the ground with the sound my door swinging open. We stopped in the middle of it, and stared at my shocked and disgusted mother who stood at the door still with her hand on the knob. She had probably never expected to walk in and meet me like that. "Nina!" "Mum. Why don't you knock? There's a reason there's a door. It's common courtesy." I snapped, feeling the anger in me rise like waves."Are you kidding me, Nina? You were so taken away doing your stuff, you didn't even hear me knocking and knocking, and why would you leave all your doors unlocked when you're…?" She said still in d

NADIA'S POV.Seeing those words slashed mercilessly across my canvas suddenly made me feel weak and dizzy. Someone was stalking me, following me everywhere I went, and they had the guts to make such a bold statement to threaten me. I looked around the garden wondering if there was a camera of some sort but I couldn't see any, and a heady feeling enveloped me as I went back to staring at those words. My breathing came out rapidly and it felt like I was going to have a panic attack, but instead I fell crumpled to the floor and watched the world before me split into two and finally blackness crawled in the edges of my vision and it all faded away. The next time I awoke, it was to a white ceiling. My eyes fluttered open and close slowly as I tried to make sense of where I was, and then I realized I was in Derek's room. I turned my head to the side and saw him sitting in a chair bare-chested with only a pair of shorts on.I wondered why he didn't have his clothes on, but realized that w
