LISA POVIt's been two weeks since I agreed to leave, Miss Amore found the perfect place, and Uncle Ben was really serious about his contribution. He made sure all I needed was provided, he went as far as to travel to Switzerland to see the environment for himself.My father has been in and out doing all the work for me, letting all our business partners know that he would be in charge for a while since I was on maternity leave. Father hasn't got time for me yet, he has to make sure that all business and alliance are properly informed of my absence.No one knows I'm leaving, they just know I want some time for my baby to come.I sat on the stool at the island, eating ice cream. My sweet tooth has increased since I hit my trimester. It's even worse now. I hummed as I added whip cream and strawberry into the vanilla ice cream. I stirred the ice cream so that everything could mix properly, when I was satisfied with the mixture. I smiled. Rubbing my big stomach, “okay baby, food is read
MAYA POVSmiling widely, I got into the bathtub as Tiana was already smiling waiting for me in the bathtub.She gave me her hands to hold so that I could get into the bathtub. I sat in front of her as she placed a kiss on my shoulders. I sighed as the water touched my nipples. “Do you like it?” Tiana asked.“I like being with you,” I replied in a whisper.She hummed as she used her hands to scoop the water and pour on my shoulders, massaging me. I felt so relaxed, I really did a great job in preparing this bath. Then my mind went back to the reason I did all this.“You're not saying anything,” I said.“What's there to say again, when I am here with you.” She answered, massaging my hair with the bubble water.Taking a deep breath, I exhaled before turning back to look into Tiana's eye, “You were upset with me for days Tiana, I couldn't sleep or eat properly.”Sighing she rested her head on the tub, “I thought we were over this.”“No baby we're not. I just want you to tell me what exac
MAYA POVThings have been really bad between Tiana and I. I thought it was just a silly annoyance but it wasn't. We barely spoke like we used to, she doesn't come to my room anymore. Some nights I would sneak into her room to cuddle with her, it would seem like we're alright that night. We'll talk a bit, chuckle lightly, and she'll kiss me on the forehead before we go to bed. But the next morning, it would be like we never had a moment, like there was no progress and boom we're back to where we were. And to top up the entire problem, Mark just had to confess his love to me.Like why would he love me? I don't even love guys, I wouldn't lie about the fact that Mark is cute but that's all. Okay, he can fuck too but that's it, I don't love him. Why won't Tiana believe me?Sighing, I walked down the stairs looking around at all the beautiful flowers, maids and the wonderful aroma of Gustavo's cooking. Then it clicked, maybe I should make a big apology to show how sorry I am for the misu
LISA POVI sat on my bed and looked at some of my bags packed up, and the others which were still open since I was still packing.Father was shocked at my acceptance to leave and I swear I saw the side of his cheeks raise in a grin. He must be so happy to send me away but then he is yet to give me any update. Standing up I walked towards my open bag, folding the clothes I kept on top and putting it in place into the bag.Exhausted, I sat on the floor staring out of the window as the sun peeked through into my bedroom. I smiled, the sun felt nice as I raised my hands and used my fingers to touch the sun rays. Soft breezes blew my black hair which was untied as it flowed down to my waist.Why do I feel paranoid? Why am I restless? Is it because my baby is coming? I don't know what to do, I just want my baby to be safe and everyone I care about to be safe and alive. I do not want to lose anyone again. I heard a knock on my door making me slowly bring my hand down as I turned to look at
DANIEL POVI sat on the couch on the terrace of my room, lost in thoughts as my mind flew back to Lisa. The look on her face, the fear that clouded her blue eyes, all I did was just stare at her, I did not know how to stop her from feeling all that she was feeling. All I did was to stand there doing nothing.I exhaled, sinking more into my couch. Even though she was scared,she was determined to find who it was behind everything including her mother's death. She said she has always avoided looking for the exact cause of her mother's death, since she always blamed herself.She said she still does blame herself but she must know what happened that day. I know it isn't my mother that died but aunt Amelia was the sweetest to me when I was little. How she would ship me and her annoying daughter who was always following me around.I chuckled, now I'm the one following her around. I don't know if she still remembers me, she said I belonged to her when we were just kids. God I hated her so muc
MARK POVI watched Maya with her eyes wide open as she stared into my eyes without blinking. She didn't respond to my confession, it was like she froze from shock.“Maya? Maya,” holding her on both sides of her arm, I shaked her a little making her blink.She immediately pulled away from me, staring at me like I was a ghost.“No…no you're not in love with me,” she said more likely to herself.Exhaling, I tried to reach for her but she immediately put her hand up stopping me.“Don't come anywhere close to me. Listen Mark, you're just confused, you can't love me.” she said, Upset by how dumb she thinks I am. How can I not know when I have fallen for someone, I may be a manwhore but I too have a heart.Ignoring her protest, I took hold of the hand she pulled up and dragged her close to me. She gasped from my sudden movement,“No, stop, Mark, stay away from me,” she said trashing on my chest as we started walking backwards, I looked up to see we were getting to the wall.Sighing, I caugh
