Sarah's POVFinally! I felt it was a dream. Walking down the aisle and the sound of wind beside the beach. It was all a moment I could never forget. My heart's deepest wish was granted. John was finally my husband, and fully mine. Nobody had the right to come in between us. “You look gorgeous this morning, Mrs Stones,” John announced as he walked into the swimming pool section where I was busy having a trip down the sweet memories. He walked to where I sat and wrapped his hand around me as he sat behind me. We both kissed for a while and then looked into each other's eyes while we let out a soft smile. “How was your night?” I asked softly. “It was perfect. What more could be better than sleeping with the knowledge that you're now my wife,” he flattered. I giggled. “Stop flattering me, baby.” “As far as we're together, I can't stop flattering you,” he chuckled. “How long are we going to be in Paris?” I asked curiously. “Your maternity leave just began in Paris,” he replied

John's POVRaymond's wedding raised questions in Sarah's head. Judging from her body language, I could tell how desperate she was for me to start making plans for our wedding. “What are your plans for the wedding?” Raymond asked curiously. I was beginning to feel that these questions were all orchestrated by Sarah herself. Rosaline had come earlier with the same question, and her father too did the same thing. But I left all of them clueless. “Come clean. Did she send you to ask me?” I asked Raymon. “No. Chill out, dude. I am just curious to know what the big man is planning,” he said. I looked at him closely, trying to see if he was behaving suspiciously, but there was no sign towards that anyway. “I have plans. But Sarah is growing impatient by the day,” I replied. “You can't blame her. Her pregnancy is beginning to grow prominent by the day, and she really wants to tie the knot with you. Every woman wants to be at the altar with her fiancée,” he explained. “I get your po

Sarah's POVI had a little to ask my father. “You look so much like your mother when she was so young. Those eyes remind me of her loving heart,” my father said as he went down memory lane. “What happened between you two? Don't lie to me because she also told me that you both got into a really rough situation,” I said. He took a deep breath. “There's nothing to hide anyway. Yes, we both got into a bad situation, and it was all my fault.” His expression gradually changed into a very sad and moody one. “I was a jerk to her. Everything happened because of me anyway,” he continued. “What do you mean, dad?” I asked. “I used to beat her up for fun. Unfortunately, I did these when you were there. You would always make an attempt to defend her from me, but I will ignore you,” he explained. Tears had already started clouding up in his eyes, and I could see how remorseful he was for his actions. “It just felt like I couldn't stop. Like…something was pushing me,” he continued. “So, she

John's POVThe clue has been in my hands since, and I was ignorant about it. “How did you get this picture?” Sarah asked shockingly. “This… Come with me. We're going back to the correctional centre. I think I know who your father is,” I replied as we made a rush out of the house. “What are you talking about?” Sarah's confusion deepened. “Just follow me. Trust me,” I urged. It was still 6 pm, so there was a little window for us to gain access. “Good evening, sir. Please, we would love to see Louis,” I pleaded with the guard as we got into the correctional centre. “I am sorry, sir. We don't accept visitors by this time of the day,” he replied bluntly. “You need to understand, sir. This is very important,” I persisted. “Look, sir. I suggest that you please leave this place at once. Except you want to be meat for the night,” he said angrily. “Come on, man. Work with me. I could give you something in return,” I whispered. “Now you're talking. How much are we looking at?” His exc

Sarah's POVWe moved from prison to prison, searching for clues as to my father's whereabouts. But all we kept getting were negative replies. John was as frustrated as I was. But he wasn't ready to leave my side. “Good afternoon, sir. I am sorry we had to disturb your peaceful afternoon,” John said as we both walked into the warden's office. Edward was replaced by another warden, and he looked quite rigid. “I don't have a problem, as long as you guys make your visit fast,” he said with a baritone voice. “Oh, we are just here to ask you if you know about a man named Reese in this prison,” I said politely. “I am sorry, but that name hasn't been mentioned within these walls since I've been here,” He gave a straight reply without looking at our faces. “You could probably look at the records, I guess…” “You need to leave. I have provided the information you needed,” he interjected rudely. “Just give us a listening ear,” I said firmly. “Leave my office immediately. Silly humans

John's POVRaymond's news was the news I have been waiting for. Sarah's questions kept coming but I wasn't ready to answer them. “Just wait until we get to the station. You will see it for yourself,” I replied firmly. Immediately we got to the police station, I quickly rushed out of the car with Sarah and rushed into the building. “Where is he?” I asked desperately. Raymond quickly pointed towards the interrogation room. Without further hesitation, I quickly rushed into the interrogation room. I raged towards Johnson and gave him a firm punch to the face. It didn't end with one punch. I kept punching him over and over until Raymond rushed in and pulled me away from him. “Get yourself together, man. He isn't worth the stress,” he said. “Let me deal with him. He's the fault my fiancée is in all this pain and trauma. Her mother was supposed to be alive if not for that scum sitting there,” I yelled angrily while struggling to loosen Raymond's grip on me. “Calm your nerves man.

Maya’s Pov“I most definitely won’t share a room with you. You have no right to dismiss my opinion or command me.” I responded “I would not allow you to stay with strangers.” Daniel barked. “How is Lilian a stranger?” I argued back.“If you go with Lilian she’s fired.” He spat his voice venomous.I scoffed, he sounded pathetic and childish, one minute he’s loving and caring the next he’s an unbearable asshole.He won, and I gave in, not wanting to leave Lilian without a job.We made our way to the elevator, the air inside was thick, the silence so loud you could hear a pin drop.The elevator came to a stop, I exited faster than the speed of light, I didn’t want to breathe the same air with Daniel.As I stormed out of the elevator, Daniel was behind me. His steps are elegant and majestic. We reached the room, and he swiped the card, opening the door for me. The room wasn’t bad. It had a king-sized bed and a couch, and the couch looked comfortable. I’ll look for another hotel online.

Maya’s Pov“We?” “Why do I have to go with you?” Daniel was about to respond before getting cut off by mum.“Maya, he's your boss. Watch your tone.” She fumed. “It's fine, Helen.” Daniel stepped in.“Maya, you're good at what you do. There is no one else I'd rather have coming on this trip with me.” He smiled, trying to convince me.I mean, I don't have a choice. Mum was right he's my boss, and I wouldn't want to be disrespectful just because he was with mum. That doesn't mean I'll act out.“How long is the trip for?” I inquired. “I don't have an answer yet. If things go well, we should be done in two weeks or even a week.” He responded.“Alright, then.” I responded. “I'll see you on Monday.” I planted a kiss on my mum's cheek. “I know you'll miss me, Bye.” I said before walking out.This was rushed, I wasn't a fan of packing, and travelling also made me nauseous. The Uber dropped me in front of my house, and immediately, I got in. I brought out my box.Time to start packing, I mu

Maya’s PovThe weekend, Finally a break for work and more time to myself. Gosh it's been a while since I had spoken or seen my mum.I pulled out my phone dialing her number.The phone rang out. “Look who finally remembered they had a mother.” Mum said, sounding disappointed.“I'm sorry, I know I should have at least called, but I've been busy with work and trying to settle in.” I explained.“You should always create time for family Maya, when will I see you?” Mum inquired.“I'll, droo-” A voice I knew so well stopped me in my tracks. “Honey, you're out of milk.” Daniel's voice echoed in the background.“Oh, I forgot to restock, I'll pick up some later.” Mum responded.“Maya, back to you, You said something about dropping by?”“Y…Yeah.” I stammered. “Not today though, probably next week.” I replied.“Nonsense, Come over today, I know you're not doing anything” She pushed.“Mum, you are with Daniel, you guys should have fun, I wouldn't want to intrude.” I tried convincing her, but it

Daniel's Pov Maya had left me speechless, I shouldn't have yelled at her. I was having an awful day, and taking it out on her was wrong. The sudden change in her attitude left a pang on my chest. I should make it up to her, right? I got up from my seat, deciding to head to her office. I froze on the spot, The sight before me made my jealousy rise. She was enveloped in a hug with a guy. I had never seen him before and I know for sure, he doesn't work for me. So who was he and how Dare he laid his hands on what was mine? “Maya, Bennet, this is a place of work. Don't bring your relationship, parading shamelessly in the halls!!” My voice echoed, causing heads to turn. She broke apart from the embrace, confusion written all over her face. “Now get back to work.” I didn't wait for a response. I walked away, leaving her dumbfounded. I sat down on my desk, trying to calm my nerves down. “How dare she flaunt another man?” She was meant to be single. How did she get a man in t

Maya's Pov After walking out of his office, I began doing the unreasonable tasks he gave me. He had crossed a line with me, I might have a twisted feeling of love for him, but I would definitely not be disrespected. I was finally done. I took out my phone, dialling Celine's number. After an eternity, she picked. “What took you so long, I could have been dying” I fake cried. “I didn't even take time to pick.” She laughed. “Anyways, what's up, how are you?” She inquired “Alot, I need to rant, Meet me at Waves Bar.” I answered. “It's rare for you to go out on a work day. This must be serious, I'll meet you there then.” Celine responded. Hanging up, I ordered an Uber. I got to the bar, and thankfully It wasn't packed. “A shot of tequila, please.” I said to the bartender. “Easy there.” Celine said, smiling. “I'll have what she's having and another round for her too.” She said to the bartender. “What should we cheer to?” She asked. “To, stuck up bosses.” I said, clin

Maya's PovI didn't feel like working today, yesterday's events left me unsettled.I forcefully got ready, I wish I could call in sick but I don't want to leave a bad impression with my colleagues. After standing in a spot for eternity. I headed out of the house.I got into the office building, hoping I wouldn't bump into Daniel yet,” It's 8 in the morning, he probably won't be around.” I convinced myself.I got into the elevator and was about to push the button leading to my office floor, when a familiar hand appeared stopping the elevator.“Good morning, sir.” I greeted trying to sound professional. “Morning Princess, glad to know you're alive you didn't respond to my message.” My breath hitched in my throat, his voice had a way of controlling me and I hated the effect he had on me.“I didn't see it.” I whispered lying through my teeth.He laughed coming dangerously close to me.“Don't lie to me Maya.” It sounded like a warning and I was getting turned on. The elevator came to a st
