Chapter 1

Mickey's POV“... Are you certain?” I asked, my heart slamming against my chest in quick succession.“Yes, Mickey, you’re pregnant, four months to be precise.” Doctor Lohan said, passing the test result to me.“Oh, goodness, thank you so much!” With my hands over my mouth, I squirmed on my seat, shifting from one edge to the other in excitement.It had been five years since I got married to Kendrick, yet, there was no seed to show for it. To make matters worse, our marriage was loveless and was already hitting the rocks.With tears streaming down my face, I said, “Our baby is going to save our marriage.”“Don't forget to visit the hospital regularly, you need to attend antenatal care to ensure your health and that of your baby.”“Yes, I will.” Grabbing my purse off the table, I slung it over my shoulder and with my heart bubbling with joy, I made my way out of his office.Now seated behind the steering wheel of my car, I pushed my hand into my hair as a little laugh erupted from my li

Chapter 2

Mickey's POV“Kendrick!” I yelled, amidst the mocking laughter he and Kiara shared.“I will call the lawyer to hasten the process so we can get this done with.” He said without a hint of emotion in his voice, and holding Kiara by her waist, he steered her towards the telephone.The conversation was swift but with each word that spewed out of his lips, I saw my life shattering in front of me.Even the baby couldn't save our marriage and sobbing uncontrollably, I began to tug my hair as I hit my chest.Though this wasn't my first betrayal, but this was the first that shattered me to this point and it was definitely going to remain stamped in my memory.Never for once had I imagined that Kiara of all people was going to betray me and she was unapologetic about it.“My lawyer will fax in the papers soon, get ready to sign it.” Kendrick broke into my line of thoughts, only to return his attention to Kiara, who had her head against his chest.While all these went on, I kept begging, hoping

Chapter 3

Kendrick’s POVFive years later…“Please calm down, I will handle this as soon as possible,” I rapped, tugging my hair with my phone placed against my ear.At the moment, I was speaking with one of our foreign investors who had just made a call based on the rumors flying around.Our cosmetics products had been tagged fake by a customer, and now we were facing a public backlash.“It’s been three weeks already, yet you haven't done a thing.” Mr. Hyde replied.“Please give me a little more time, I will fix it.” He didn't allow me to coax him further before he hung up on me.With a frustrated look on my face, I plopped on my chair with a thud, swirling around in a bid to relieve myself of the anger that I felt, but it was to no avail.Still trying to get a hang of my current predicament, my door caved in, and Alfred, my assistant, walked in, clutching his iPad.“Sir, the team has rectified the issue.” He said; my eyes lit up, and I grabbed the edge of the table and stood.“I'm glad to hea

Chapter 4

Mickey's POVClicking glasses with my staff, I had a bright smile on my face as my heart bubbled with joy.My company had just completed a fashion event that earned us the fifth spot in the whole country. It was worth celebrating.“We are just getting started; get ready for more groundbreaking records,” I said at the top of my voice, and my words were reciprocated with cheers from my staff.My fashion industry was just two years old, yet I had been able to make a name for myself. It was never all my efforts alone; it all spanned down to the support that I received from my staff and, most especially, Lugia Dimitri, my sponsor and savior.After my divorce from Kendrick five years ago, the first thought that came to my mind was to terminate my life and that of the child growing inside of me, but fate had a different plan.Just when I was about to jump off the cliff, a stranger held me from behind, giving me a second chance at life.Those few minutes which we had spoken were forever going

Chapter 5

Mickey's POVStumbling backwards, I got a grip on the ground before I slowly raised my head.“I'm sorry…” The rest of my words died in my throat as I locked eyes with the pair of gray eyes I hadn't gotten to see in five years.Kendrick Killian!Wiping the beads of perspiration that had gathered on my forehead, I tried to take my gaze off him, but I couldn't, just like I couldn't move my feet, which were glued to the ground.“Mickey,” Kendrick called.Quickly burying my head, I said, “I’m sorry, I should have been more careful.” I ratted out as I turned to leave but he blocked my path.My second attempt was futile, causing me to lock eyes with him, a frown on my face.“What do you want from me?” I said in a whisper when, in the real sense, I wanted to scream my lungs out.“We need to talk.” The words glided from his tongue, causing me to clench my fist by my side.“I have nothing to say to you.” He huffed. He was about to block my path again when Teddy walked up to us and, with his han

Chapter 6

Kendrick's POVIt looked like I was dreaming, but I wasn't. Instead, it was reality.If told I was going to run into Mickey someday, I wouldn't have believed it a bit.“And she hasn't lost her touch; rather, she is radiating,” I muttered, only to shake my head sideways, trying to get the thoughts about her off.I was supposed to be mad at her for acting as a bridge between me and my inheritance but here I was, drooling over her shamelessly.Digging my hand into my hair, I pulled out my laptop only to turn it off the next second.Through the intervention of my father's lawyers, whom he quickly withdrew from the case, I was able to silence the consumer who wanted to wreck my business.Even after doing this, my company was still struggling, making me lose interest in work.Now drumming my fingers against the table, I had my gaze fixated on Cassie's picture on my table.Apart from her, I had no reason to keep struggling with work. I would have quit a long time ago.Kiara was nothing but a

Chapter 7

Mickey“I will be there in a second,” I responded, tucking my phone into my bag. My heart kept pounding inside of me as my silver heels made a soft sound on the floor of the room. I had just arrived at the high profile event that I had been invited to. The room was buzzing with so much life and there was some soft melodious music playing in the background. “A live orchestra band!” I almost blurted out. It was rare to see a love orchestra band in a business event. I guessed this was somehow different from all other events that I had been opportuned to attend. I adjusted the strap of my black silk gown and I wore a polite smile on my face so that I won't scare off people who crossed my path. My chest tightened but I forced myself to focus on the present and not what had been going on in my life all these while. Tonight was about making connections, I had promised myself. I need to prove that I, Mickey, was more than her past. Allowing my past to hold me down will make me sink in

Chapter 8

Mickey“Damn it!”I almost grabbed a glass close to me, preparing to smash it into the wall. Then I remembered that my daughter was here with me. What have I done to deserve this kind of embarrassment that I was getting? I wanted to send a message to my assistant, but what was I going to tell her?The only thing that I could do was rant. While I was still pacing around, hitting the wall with my fist this time. Kendrick's message came and my anger rose up again. “Why is this son of a bitch texting me? I guess he must have seen what is circulating around the blogs,” I muttered angrily at myself. My hands trembled as I read his message, his words felt like a hot slap across my face:"We need to talk. It’s about Kayden. Call me."I slammed the phone onto the table and my breathing became sharp. “This was not about the blog post after all. It's about my child. He has the guts to text me. This man must be out of his mind. I think I could advise him to see the psychiatrist.”He wants to

Chapter 9

MickeyMy life was a mess. I was beating myself up everyday and at the same time was still trying to put myself together over what happened. But still, I could not stop thinking about that text message that I have received. All day, it played on in my mind, causing havoc within me. The words kept burning inside of me like they had been carved into my skin. "I can help you get the post taken down. Meet me. You know where. If you don’t, the next post will be worse."I was going crazy. I fucking need a clue. Who would send something like that? How did they know me, and why were they threatening me? There was no way I would have a clue about who the bastard that sent the text was. I stared at my phone again, trying to make sense of the message. It was as though the unknown number was staring back at me, making mockery of me. “Who are you?” I muttered under my breath, gripping the phone tightly asking no one in particular. I opened my browser and typed the number into a phone numbe

Chapter 10

Kendrick“Tick, tock. Tick, tock.”The clock kept ticking off slowly as I stared at it weakly. Life was supposed to feel perfect by now.At least, that was what I had convinced myself when I left Mickey. I thought I was making the right decision for myself and for my future.She didn't deserve to be in my life but as I sat in the dimly lit living room, listening to Kiara yelling at our nanny for forgetting to warm the baby’s bottle, all I could feel was regret. Regret kept creeping up on me, making me feel like a mad man. Was I thinking this way because I set my eyes on her at the event and she refused to give me an audience?I could not tell. But, Mickey had grown so much that she now had the guts to put me in a place that I don't belong..“Do you even know how to do your job? Don't let me regret hiring you. I pay you well for this!” Kiara’s voice rang through the house as she stormed into the room. Her heels clicked against the smooth floor as she held tight our Cassie. The nanny
