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
Third person’s POVThe first blow that landed on Stanley’s face caused the guards standing at the door to flinch. It made them realize that messing with Eros wasn’t worth it.The door beeped open and a bowl filled with water and clean rag was brought in. Blood splattered from Stanley’s mouth and Eros slightly shifted before it could stain his clothes. He would need a shower before seeing Dalia. This wasn’t the side he wanted anyone to know of him.“I am really sorry sir.” Stanley pleads as his eyes rolls to the back of his head in pain.Eros washed his hands in the bowl presented to him before wiping it clean with the towel. “Have you heard of Hera West?”Stanley nods his head as who doesn’t know the best seamstress in the city. It was said that her works were made with gifted hands. She had many people who competed just for her to make their clothes. She knew how to design different cultural attires with her hands rather than using machines. Not that she didn’t use them but it was al
Eros’ POVThe only thing left to do is to send Dalia to her father.Yes, I made a little research in her after finding out she is with my child. It wasn’t easy but she led a simple life. Father, her and Emily. Her mother died of a disease when Dalia was little. Since no one knew of her father’s whereabouts as Dalia has managed to keep her private life private, it was better to send her there.I look around the yard again. “Sebastian, be quick. I must look presentable before she comes.”Sebastian had a small smile on his face and I did what I know how to do best which was to ignore it. He will hear nothing from me again.“I thought you don’t care about her...” Sebastian trailed off after I have him the glare. He should be walking on eggshells around me. Why is the thought of Dalia Thompson exciting my workers?I nod my head at some of my boys who stood at the door and at other strategic positions. I call one closer to me. Their presence will make everything even more terrible. Poor Dal
Dalia’s POVI turn to Dimitri. “Err.. is there a toilet around here?”“Yeah sure. Down the hall, to your left.”Raising my legs higher, I rushed down the hall. Immediately I got inside, I bolted the door. Why was he staring at me like that? He stared at me like he wanted to eat me raw.I know I am not edible but what’s with the lustful gaze.It is going to be hard! So hard to live with Eros West. What is he plotting now?Come to your senses Dalia! You have to choose for yourself. You cannot stay here and expect to go to work. Eros West is selfish and so will do everything to keep you here with him. He wants to make you a housewife when you are not! This is all his plan. This is why he made you sign that contract all in the name of protecting you and your child. You were foolish to want him into your life. You are buying more than you can chew, Dalia! An inner voice screamed at me.I turn on the water, so if anyone is listening, they would be convinced I a
Dalia’s POVI hear the nervousness in Emily ‘s voice. It must be hard for her there. I shake my head as I look to my reflection. I don’t like what I see of course. It was the night before. My eyes were red like I have been crying for days.You’ve got to be kidding me... I mutter as I hear a knock on the door. Can’t they give me a moment of peace?“I am coming!” I yell in irritation.“You’ve been in there for way to long, Ms Thompson.” Dimitri’s irritation showed in his statement.Guess I was good at making others annoyed with me.I adjust my hair to the back before turning the tap off. So much for pretending.“Alright. Here I am.” I huff, making sure my hair slapped his face. It would be hard to get along with him now.The hall way had one person standing in it and it was Eros West. He had both hands in his pocket and was staring at me wearily.“Were you looking for an open window to escape or something?” Eros asked dryly.I gasped. How could he ask me such questions? Who would want t
Nick’s POVIt’s getting worse. I can’t seem to get her off my mind and there’s is nothing I can do about it. She was about to say yes and Eros West stopped it.He interrupted and she never remained the same. I could see the longing in her eyes, the way she tried to deny her feelings for the man in front of her but failed.It only made one thing clear to me...Dalia is in love with Eros West.Shit!I even tired calling her that night but it became even clearer to me that she was done with me.The first time I heard the name Dalia Thompson was from my cousin. There was no statement Emily would make without adding the name Emily. Then I met her at a mall. It was my luck meeting her when she was in a bad mood and spilling Starbucks over her. I gave her my shirt but Denice had to ruin our moment together.She was just as Emily described her. Dreamy grey eyes, thin eyebrows that never failed to show how displeasure, cute button nose and full lips. Everything on her was perfect and I couldn’
