Dawn

My little Dawn was his major substance.

So when he said, “Take nothing of my substance,” he meant I should leave her behind.

That tricky, sick prick. He knew exactly what he was doing.

He wanted me to leave without Dawn.

He’s insane.

But we’ll die here together before that happens. I’m not leaving without my baby.

Scoffing, I left the room to check on Dawn.

It’s been a while since I last sang her a lullaby to lull her to sleep.

It’s been a while since I last cuddled her to bed.

I stepped out of the bathroom and slipped into a soft, simple nightgown. Then I headed to Dawn’s room.

When I opened the door and walked in, I froze.

It was a displeasing sight. Appealing in a way, but still displeasing.

Arrow was sitting on Dawn’s bed like a father reading his children bedtime stories.

Well, he was her father.

His legs were crossed at the waist, palms resting on his thighs like they were glued there.

Dawn’s face was lit up with happy smiles. Her chubby li

  • A DEAL WITH THE BILLIONAIRE   CHAPTER 120

    KALMIA’S POV I descended the stairs and arrived at the bottom floor. I got into the company car which was already waiting for me when we began our departure. We directed our journey to the company and reached our destination within a short time period. The office building embraced me with its recognizable atmosphere when we reached our destination. Upon entering the building a receptionist greeted me with her bright smile. She greeted me with "Good morning, ma" while her voice carried cheerful notes. I identified Rachel as the woman who had attempted to provide me with funds for my return flight. Her friendly greeting met my silent response of a stern gaze. She repeated her "Good morning, ma" greeting because she noticed I wasn't prepared for small talk. My reply came with determined calmness as I uttered "Good morning." According to certain regulations you do not need to work today Rachel hesitantly told me. "Why?" I asked, my tone sharp. How is it possible that today I don't

    KALMIA’S POV A delicate warm light filled the room while the sole source remained the small bedside lamp. The sheets had become a chaotic jumble which showed that passionate activity had just occurred. Marcus sat on the bed with slight swaying movements as evidence of consumed alcohol appeared in his glassy eyes. The door stood between me and my pounding heart. A delicious tension built up inside me as anticipation became both an exciting and terrifying sensation. An eerie chill had gone down my spine upon the basic primal need in that gaze of Marcus. He uttered the words "I love you" with such intensity in his voice. "What are you doing?" I asked the question with my voice just above a whisper. I didn't have time to react before Marcus surged forward to embrace me. His strong arms secured my waist as he pulled me toward him. He buried his face in my neck as his hot breath made goosebumps appear all over my body. His hardness pressed against me while silently indicating wh

    KALMIA’S POV A whirlwind of questions stung at my thoughts while continuing to torment my consciousness. I felt completely lost because I couldn't figure out any actions to take or directions to pursue. I was determined to uncover the truth behind the situation at any cost. During my time in my room I began to lose control of my thoughts. I must give her permission to proceed. I concluded that changing my environment was essential for moving forward. I put on a light sweater before descending to the entire house area. The icy wind felt like a sudden punch to my face yet it turned out to be exactly what I needed. While I was trying to regain my focus I noticed a charming young man approach me. "Hey, Kalmia!" With a deep and smooth voice he called out. I quickly moved to identify the person calling me and learn how he knew my name. A stranger appeared in front of me and I found myself surprised by his charming smile. I said hello while remaining amazed that he recognized me. "

    KALMIA’S POV I drove back to my hotel with anger bubbling inside me beneath the surface. I received no response when the receptionist greeted me cheerfully with "Good morning, ma'am." The intensity of my rage prevented me from greeting her. My feet carried me past her in haste as I murmured to myself about Sparrow's strange behavior. His presence was completely unexpected to me. I received no notification about having to meet someone like Sparrow. Maybe I would have declined the contract." I pressed the elevator button with my anger growing stronger each moment that passed. Although I relocated to another country, he still insists I come back. What nonsense!" I shouted, not caring who heard me. As soon as the elevator doors shut behind me I took a deep breath to regain my composure. The view of my floor appeared so I immediately left the elevator and went towards my room. I forced open the door after using my key card to unlock it. "You must open it!" I yelled forcefully at the

    ARROW’S POV As I departed from the area I caught sight of Jemima waving to me through my side mirror. I stopped my car because my curiosity about the situation became too strong to ignore. I had to discover her intentions because my thoughts were not misleading me. I accelerated towards my house and exited the vehicle before advancing toward Jemima as a fierce anger continued to brew within me. "What is it, Jemima?" I demanded, my voice low and even. "What do you want?" Jemima moved backward while her eyes widened in terror. "I...I..." she stammered. You attempted to destroy my marriage before," I accused with my words pouring out in an uncontrollable stream. "And now, what are you here for? Did you have a spy? Are you aware my wife has already departed from here? So, what are you looking for here?" Jemima scanned the objects quickly while her face turned pale. "I know I...I..." she stammered again, her voice shaking. I advanced toward her as my fury reached its maximum in

    ARROW’S POV With my bag in hand I left the house while attempting to rid myself of the uneasy feeling that stayed because I couldn't contact Kalmia. During my walk to work I found myself thinking about what was happening. Was she okay? Has something happened? My mind returned to Kalmia repeatedly during the morning commute which made everything around me seem like a blur. During my lunch break I planned to attempt contacting her again. Upon entering the office I resumed my standard routine yet my thoughts remained distracted from my work responsibilities. Throughout the day my worries about Kalmia continued to deepen. I compulsively checked my phone repeatedly, expecting that she would answer my calls or messages. But nothing. To regain focus I went outside for a walk to clear my mind and organize my thoughts. The streets I walked through didn't calm my mind as I felt something wrong. I had no idea that my day would soon experience a surprising change. I stood up after sighing an
