Chapter: Chapter 27Briar’s POV“Knox is such a handful when he wants to be. I almost ran out of breath. He reminded me just how much I needed to visit the gym.” Liam laughed hard as he narrated his ordeal with Knox at the water park yesterday. I chortled, staring at the boy who had refused to leave Liam’s arm even though he was still asleep. “I don’t know how to thank you enough for your patience with Knox, Liam. He enjoys your company so much.” Liam held up a smile, staring down at Knox's pile of black hair. “I enjoy his company just as much. With him, I get to just be. No hard thoughts or wondering if I am doing something right or not. He is a sweet child.” I sighed, holding up a smile. Knowing Knox has a person like Liam in his life to make him enjoy the beauty of family makes me feel constantly at ease. “Are you okay now?” Liam halted my thought. I looked up at him, confused. “I mean, you weren’t looking too good on Friday. I was just wondering if you want to talk about it?” I scratched the bac

Chapter: Chapter 26Adrian’s POV“She did what?” Eric blurted. I kissed my teeth, twirling the half-filled beer can in my hand. “I could not believe the audacity myself. She didn’t seem bothered about whatever it was I thought about her. Those eyes are completely different from what I used to know.” “I will be damned! How did you keep this to yourself for two days without telling me?” “Did you expect me to start throwing such words around on the phone?” Eric bobbed his head. “That is correct. What do you plan to do with this big reveal?” I bit down on my lip staring into space. I have been dazed for the past two days unsure of what my thoughts really are. After dropping Isadora off at her place from the hospital, I called the office to get Briar’s house address. But I couldn’t bring myself to drive over to her place. I was at a crossroads. Wondering what I will say to her. She practically mocked me to my face and was certain that I wouldn’t be able to do anything about it. And the look on her face w

Chapter: Chapter 25Briar’s POVI let out a frustrated groan, kicking my feet against the floor. What have I done? I should have controlled my anger. I just let it get the best of me and now I have to learn the hard way. I grabbed my hair tightly, wishing I could pull it out. “Will you stop that already!” Rissa rebuked, slapping my hand from my hair. “You will go bald at this point. Take this and sober up.” She handed me a bottle of water. I opened it and poured it down my throat a bit too fast, and I almost choked on it. “Easy, Briar!” I coughed lightly, putting the bottle down. “I just can’t seem to think straight. I can’t believe I just ruined my own life. What do you think he would do now? He will definitely have me thrown out of the company and blscklisted” “He wouldn’t do that, I am sure.” “You don’t know, Adrian he is not to be toyed with.”“Yet, you went all out to tickle him.”“He started it,” I whined“But you don’t own a company.”“You are not helping, Rissa.” I huffed, kicking the air.

Chapter: Chapter 24Adrian’s POV“Is she okay?” I asked the doctor. “Yes, she is fine. She passed out due to shock. Once she is well rested she will be alright. You can take her home soon after getting her prescriptions.” He replied. “Thank you.” I let out a long sigh when he left, staring at Isadora who was still sleeping. The past few hours have been hectic. Briar’s sudden outburst, revealing her identity with no ounce of shame, and Isadora passing out in shock, make me a bit destabilized. I expected Briar to be sorry for ghosting me for years, making me believe that she was truly gone from my life. Her mannerisms had me in stitches. She appears bolder and unbothered. Nothing like the Briar that I used to know. She was always so shy and tried hard to please me. What happened to her? “Adrian?” Isadora mumbled my name, pulling me out of my thoughts. “Oh, you are awake. How are you feeling?” I helped her sit up. She nodded gently. “Better, I think. How did I get here?” “You passed out. But the doct

Chapter: Chapter 23Briar’s POV“Briar….” Adrian whispered, staggering backwards a little with a flash of hurt in his eyes. I kissed my teeth, combing my hair with my fingers as I turned around a bit before looking back at him. His face seemed to have lost a bit of its color. His pretense only made me disgusted. “Cut out the act! You knew from the start and that is why you chose to make my life miserable by putting my hard work to waste. What I don’t understand is why you are even interested in my life. The last time I checked, you don’t give two fucks about me. So what is this?” I bellowed. Adrian gasped and grabbed a fistful of his hair. He looked disheveled. “Briar! Is this some sick joke? How can you stand in front of me alive and well when we all think that you died in that accident! Do you know what you have done? Was there even an accident at all? Or was it planned out to make a fool of me?” “Everything was always about you. You are still the same distasteful asshole. I can’t even imagine what

Chapter: Chapter 22Briar’s POVI tapped my feet anxiously, trying hard not to chew on my nails and embarrass myself. I think I might be losing my mind. Everyone in the office is busy with one thing or another and I am just left to scribble in my work note while waiting for Adrian to give feedback on the design proposal I submitted. He is taking longer than expected this time. I wonder if it is because of our last encounter in the elevator. It is quite interesting that we keep having the elevator run-ins. Maybe he is truly blown away this time. I might have been overthinking the whole situation that he is trying to get at me. What if he truly believes that I am not Briar's wife? My head keeps spinning. I don’t want to be forced to leave. Not when my son has accepted this city as his home. Frustration gnawed at my insides as I grabbed my hair, not minding that I might go bald. If I had the chance, I would scream until my voice cracks. This is too much for one person to endure.“Are you good?” Rissa inqui

Chapter: EpilogueTwo Years LaterKamara’s POV“Mama!” Axel ran on his little feet towards me.“My baby.” I cooed, lifting him off the floor.His nanny, Diane met with us panting heavily. “I am so sorry, miss. He began to run the moment his feet touched the ground.”I laughed, kissing his forehead. “Is that so, Axel? Have you been bothering Aunt Diane?”He held up his cheeky smile, shaking his full head. “No mama.” The mischief was clear in his eyes. He is so much like his father.“Okay, baby. Mama believes you. But do not be a bother to Aunt Diane, remember you have to be a good boy okay? Mama has to go now. I will see you soon, my love. I love you.”“I love you too.” He replied in his childlike voice before going back to his nanny. Taking a deep breath, I went into the dressing room to get myself together. After my masters acquisition in fashion school, I am finally having my first fashion show to reveal my new collection. The anxiety that has crippled me in the past four months of working intensely

Chapter: Chapter 106Two Months LaterKamara’s POV“You should go to bed now, Nana.” I urged, kneeling in front of her.Nana held up a weak smile, caressing my face. “Is he still being adamant? How will he take his pills if he refuses to eat?”I sighed, “I think he is just trying to wrap his head around the whole situation. I will do my best to talk to him.”“You must be stressed after the whole trip back and forth.”“Not at all. I am just glad that we have you to lean on.”She hummed, “Thank you for coming back, Kamara. I know my boy isn't deserving of you, but thank you for being by his side when you didn’t have to.”“Axel needs his father, I only did what I thought was best. You should go and rest now.”“Alright, I can't say no to you.” She chuckled, getting on her feet.I helped her upstairs, tucking her into the bed before leaving. Had to check on Axel too. He was sound asleep, handsome as ever with his innocent look. It's been over two months of emotions swirling. After Diego collapsed in New York,

Chapter: Chapter 105Kamara’s POV“It was you right?” I queried Chantelle the moment she stepped in.Her face was blank. “Tell me what?”“You gave Diego this address. No one else knows this except you.”“What if I did? Is that enough reason for you to leave him out there?”I couldn’t believe the audacity in her response. “Are you kidding me right now, Chantelle? That man is the reason I am broken. Yet you who call yourself my friend, brought him here. What sort of game are you trying to play? Are you intending to open up a can of worms?”Chantelle sucked her teeth, “Maybe opening the stupid can of worms is what will make you heal. You think I don’t hear you? The wails at night while you work? Is it the needles that are making you cry? Only two weeks here and I can feel the depth of your pain. You hide it so well during the day, but what happens when night falls, the city goes quiet and you are only left with your thoughts. Is it not until you lose your mind that you decide to address it? I am your friend

Chapter: Chapter 104Diego’s POVA light yawn escaped my lips as I plopped into the comfy couch. “How are you settling in? Do you find the hotel to your liking?” Fernando asked on the other end of the line.“Hmm, it's good. Thanks for making it happen in such a short time.”“You don’t know how glad I am that you eventually gave in to this. I was almost losing my mind watching you wither away. Damn! You are stubborn, Diego. Ensure you get her to respond to you no matter what.” His words sounded like a threat.“I can only do my best.”“Do everything you would, you have to return with her. Have you confirmed where she would be?”“Yes, Chantelle already sent me the house address. I am shocked she is doing this for me.” I mused, still surprised by the gesture.Fernando rolled his eyes, “My girl can be sweet too you know? Don’t be such an ass.”“Right, you two are a perfect fit for each other.”“Anyway, did you remember to hold your pill?” he asked in a low tone.I grumbled a bit even though he had every reaso

Chapter: Chapter 103Kamara’s POVChantelle beamed brightly at me, her eyes dancing in amusement. “How was class today?” Chuckling with an eye roll, I replied. “Something tells me that is not the response you are expecting from me. You keep jumping on a video call like there is something you are seeking.”“You can't blame me. Not after I set my eyes on that hunk in your class. Who would have thought men like him would study fashion design?” she giggled.I slapped my forehead in disbelief. “Sometimes I wonder what planet you dropped from. You are talking like you have been locked up in a shell for ages. Men are into fashion design, we have a chunk of them in the industry. Moreover, I will advise you to take your mind off him.”“Why? Do you suddenly have an interest in him?”“Don’t be crazy. I am going to stop answering your calls from now on if you won't stop obsessing over the unattainable man.”“Try all you want. You won’t be stopping me from getting what I want because I just got my internship approved

Chapter: Chapter 102Diego’s POVThe pain seared through my spine making me gasp for breath. I searched the drawer hastily for the pills. It didn’t surprise me when I saw that it remained just two. I have been consuming it a lot in the past few weeks, which has done nothing to ease the pain. Instead, each experience leaves me weaker than the last. Groaning, I popped the pills into my mouth and chugged them down with whiskey. I ignored the twist going on in my belly, staring lifelessly at the wall. From a distance, I can hear Axel crying. It made my earache. It's been two weeks since Kamara decided to leave us. Since then I haven’t stayed in the house beyond a few hours. Can't bring myself to look Axel in the face. Maybe because he reminds me so much of his mother or the guilt of being undeserving of an innocent soul like him, I never would have indulged in this mess if I knew it was going to mess me up this much. It makes no sense that Kamara will just leave after everything we have been through togethe
