Dalia’s PoVWith a permanent smile on my face, I hope I convinced him enough. My hand clutched my bag tighter as I walked into the darkness. I bit my lower lips praying Isaiah insists on driving me home. I am a defenceless pregnant woman. What can possibly go wrong?Everything.“Mrs. Thompson!” I hear Isaiah call again from a distance. This time, he is running after me, breathing hard.“No, ma’am. I insist. I cannot allow you to walk alone this night. Follow me to the car. Dimitri will drop you off.” He pants.Just how far did I walk for him to insist?“I-“ I wanted to argue. Where was the fun if I gave in easily? It would seem like I want to sit in the same car as Eros West.“Mr. West will have my head of you refuse.” He tries again.That got me puzzled. Why would he have Isaiah’s head? That cannot not happen, can it?“Why would he have your head?” I chuckle. “alright, of you insist.” I decided, asking him to lead the way.There was no way I was going to walk down to my street at nig
Third person’s POVI don’t know about myself. He said I was perfect for the job.”Emily clicked the roof of her tongue because she knew Dalia wasn’t that great in the ‘careful’ department. She gets clumsy when nervous.“Dalia...” Emily emphasized, waiting for what Dalia couldn’t fathom.“I swear that was it. You know what, let me send you the email. I can’t convince you with just my lips.” She replied.Emily shook her head in wonder. “But you know It is going to be tough from now on. You have to do a lot of office stuff with the CEO.”Dalia sighed. “I know and it scares me a bit. But I have you so everything is going to be fine.”“Don’t try to be perfect, You may lose your job. I know Jeffrey and he is a tough boss. Tougher than Chris!” Emily chuckled loudly.Dalia gasped. “Your manager? I need to be careful...”“Yes, you need to be.”After a while, Emily stared at the blank phone in her hands. Just then, her manager was walking past. She gently pushed the lady attending to her face t
Eros’ POV“Enough!” he declared, causing me to sit down. There was a limit I could go and I still respected my parents.“You have grown, Eros and I am proud of you.” My mother started in a sickly sweet manner. I was sure she is looking for a way to break the ice as everyone had a solemn look on their face.The purpose of the meeting has been discarded because I chose to speak too soon.“You will get married to Vanessa Dave and that is final.” My father added.I roll my eyes. “I am over thirty five, father and I have my empire. You can’t do this.” I stand up, disregarding the look of anger on my father’s face.“It was nice seeing you all again. I think the next meeting will be on thanks giving.” I walk away but paused after I remembered something important. “If the agenda of our meetings remains like this, I won’t come back. Ever again.” I promised without thinking I’d propose to Dalia Thompson. Now, I will be the one raising such agenda again.Terrible mistake.My hands found its way
Dalia’s POV...As they did nothing to help the situation. I could feel my thighs were bigger than the last time I checked. Were was the hourglass shape Emily claimed I had?They were lost.I couldn’t stop the tears as I thought of how Eros must have thought me unattractive to have such look of disgust on his face.I was wallowing in self pity. Turning away from the mirror was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I stared at the documents on my table. The only thing I need to do is to compile this documents. If I am lucky, I could send it through email instead of printing them out at the office later today.I sniffed, raising a finger to wipe my tears. If I have decided to go all through the pain just for this baby, maybe it would be worth it later on.“I don’t even have a name for you yet...” I thought to myself as I balanced my butt on the sturdy chair. These papers looked enormous but earlier, I had scanned them into the system to make it easier.I was about to turn on my laptop when I
Dalia’s POVThen I brought my fist down. The screech of agonizing pain he let out satisfied both I and my troubled baby.“That was the pain I felt while laying on that cold floor, you son of a bitch!” I yelled as the surprised officers try to pull me away from him.The man clutched his left eye as agony escaped his lips. “You bitch!”I roll my eyes as the officers both five me warning looks. What did they expect? This man left me on the floor to bleed to death...“Dalia!” I hear my name from the distance and the sound of heels scraping the floor reached my eyes. It made me cringe a little. “Dalia? Dalia oh my God!” I was engulfed in a very big hug by a very worried looking Emily.Yeah, I asked for my phone and dialled her number immediately.Now here she is smothering the heck out of me. “wait..” I try to stop her. The pain was getting fuller but I need to go to the hospital fast.“What are you doing? Take her to the hospital!” Emily screams at the officers who were trying their best
Dalia’s PoVI should have told him on time not to let Eros know about it. He must think he is doing me a favour by calling Eros to the hospital. Who told him he was my fiancée in the first place? Blame it on Eros...“Why do you always cause trouble? How can a pregnant woman attack a burglar? You should have hidden or something other than this! You could have lost the baby because you wanted to play the hero.”I bowed my head as guilt washed over my system.“It has been taken care of Boss.” Dimitri’s voice interrupted the cold air.What has been taken care of?I look up to see Dimitri looking at me apologetically. Maybe he wished to have stayed with me for the night. Who knew people were aware of my meeting with Eros? This must be what Eros and Emily faced everyday.Eros nods his head in approval and glares back to me. “You will stay in my mansion from now on. I can believe this...” he says before walking out of the hospital and Dr. Ryan pursuing after him.What just happened and why i
Dalia’s POV…picking those last words. Does Eros have another girlfriend or fiancé? “Bethany who?”Dimitri shakes his head as if to stop himself from revealing even more dangerous secrets. “Bethany Wood is Mr. West’s guest. That is all you need to know ma’am.” He completes. “Come, let me show you to your room.”Halfway down the hall, a door was open and I could see him. Through the small opening I could see him holding a glass of juice with his other hand holding a phone close to his ears. He was wearing something so casual and it made me wonder if I would ever get used to seeing him dress in just a tee-shirt and shorts that showed off his powerful tanned legs.Just then, he chose to turn around and our eyes met. It was there I knew it wasn’t a dream. Eros West held me earlier with those big hands of his. His eyes said it all. The moment I couldn’t read the emotion on his face that was the moment I knew living with Eros might be worth it.It isn’t going to be easy.Eros’ POvEarlier t
Eros’ POV“whoa, whoa, whoa... Where do you think you are going?” I hear Emily say as I walked into the VIP hall. Dr. Ryan must have felt the need to impress me as he made sure to put Dalia where she won’t be disturbed. I scoff at the realisation that he must still remember the last time we came here for a paternity test.“I couldn’t submit the compilation of the teams work to Jeffrey, Eros told me to be available for Dimitri.. I am screwed Emily.”Dalia’s worried voice filled the room. I paused for a while making sure to compose myself before I walked into the room. The tension in the room was suffocating but everything stood still when Dalia raised her beautiful eyes to meet mine.I have to reassure her. She looks terribly worried. The need to reassure her became pressing as I couldn’t tear my gaze from hers.“You don’t have to worry about any of that.” I say to calm her down. The blood drained from her face and for a moment there I expected her to faint. Is she that surprised to se
