Liana's P.O.VI was at a loss for words to say as I ran after the gurney that pushed Kayla to the emergency room. I was confused and didn't know how to wrap my head around what had happened to her. Earlier, she looked as though she was fine and now, she was being rushed into the emergency ward. The look of despair was evident on the face of Conan's mother whose eyes welled up with tears.Conan and his father went to meet with the doctor while the door to the emergency ward slammed shut right in my face. "I hope that she is fine" I clasped my hands, muttering a word of prayer as I squeezed my eyes shut.I was about to flick my eyes open when I felt someone grab me by the arm and I felt something sharp like needles prick into my tender skin. When I looked down, I saw that Uncle Jojo's wife, Amanda, had pressed her long fingernails so hard into my skin."You Gold-digger, how dare you have the audacity to pray after being the one who had caused her pain? Do you think that everything woul
Conan’s P.O.VA gasp that soon erupted into one that depicted the happiness and joy echoed through the room and if I would be honest, I was happy for Kayla and I was happy that at least she would get off my back and leave me alone. However, when I glanced at Liana, she had a confused look on her face as she lowered her head and ping-ponged her gaze around as if she was trying to place one and two things together.When I locked eyes with her, a forced smile stretched on her lips as she darted her eyes away from me, and for a second, it made me wish that I could at least have an idea of what could be going through her mind. I was suddenly taken aback when my mom pulled me into her arms and rubbed me on the back slowly.“You did good, son. I am grateful that you did well, now the moon goddess has found a reason to join you two together and now the strange people can leave. I am happy for you” She withdrew from my hands with her face filled with nothing but glee.My eyebrow knitted in c
Liana’s P.O.VI didn't know if I was making the right or the wrong decision but all I knew was that everything I was doing was because of the child. I have been in a situation where I wasn't only devoid of my father’s love but of my both parents as well.The look on Conan’s face showed how pissed he was with me and he left me at the hospital, claiming that the driver would take me home although he didn’t mention Kayla, I would make sure that Kayla was taken along as well since the doctor said she was okay. The drive to Conan’s house was silent while I sat next to the driver. Kayla sat in the passenger’s seat, giggling and scrolling through her phone. Anytime the driver hits a bump, she would scream and yell at the driver to drive carefully so that it wouldn’t affect the child, she would also threaten to report him to Conan. Tired of the constant yelling, I turned to look at Kayla with a bright smile on my face. “Kayla, I don't think that you should fault him for the bumps. I know th
Conan’s P.O.VI was still trying to stop my mom from coming with me and was kind of questioning her for keeping tabs on me when I heard the scream that came from inside her house. My thoughts were that it was the work of Kayla who was showing her true colors to Liana who was so blinded by love that she accepted to take Kayla in without asking me first. However, I was taken aback when I pushed the door open only to see Liana causing pain for Kayla. “Oh my God, this girl is devilish, how can she do this to her after knowing about her pregnancy!” My mom screamed, quickly rushing towards Kayla who fell on her knees to the ground. Kayla whimpered as she sat on the floor and pulled her knees to her chest before burying her head between her knees as she winced softly. She raised her head and sniffled in her tears as she took my mom's hand in hers.“Aunt, I don't want to stay here anymore. I am sorry! I don't want to put or subject my child to any kind or type of harm. I don't know what I
Liana’s P.O.VEver since Kayla started living with both me and Conan, she would always cause trouble for me and whenever I attempt to report her to Conan, she would blame it on the pregnancy hormones. There was a time that I mistakenly brushed shoulders with her and she picked a fight with me, accusing me of almost trying to kill her child but like always, she begged for my forgiveness and made me vow not to report her to Conan. No matter how much I tried to understand her or see things from her point of view, it never made sense to me in any way so I decided to blame it all on the pregnancy hormones like she said because she was a young mother and I have heard that some pregnant women tend to be overbearing and over demanding most of the times.Day by day, I watched Kayla’s belly grow every day and I did not doubt that the child was Conan’s. I could see the joy on her face whenever she rubs her hand on her belly and the smile would disappear whenever she locked eyes with me. Like a
LianaMy eyes widened, almost popping out of my sockets as I covered my mouth with my hands in a bid to suppress the gasps that were trying to escape my lips. My heart began to thud so hard that I literally felt my heart pounding in my ear. I clutched the phone to my ear tightly as my lips trembled.“A-A lot of people died, is mother fine?” I stuttered while taking in random breaths because it felt like every part of me was crumbling inside. The day that I was disowned by my parents, I knew that mother would still have a different say about the whole thing. She might be angry and disappointed in me but she would have a different point of view but what could she do before my raging father. I heard Matilda heave a sigh. “She is fine although she broke her neck and she is currently in the hospital. I want to know if you would be coming, I mean you should at least come see her. She has been wanting to talk to you and don’t forget to bring your husband. Sorry, I mean my in-law, Conan” I h
Conan’s P.O.VThe sweet yet annoying scent of the roses assaulted my senses and before I knew it, I was sneezing so hard that I felt a warm liquid streak underneath my nostrils. Covering my nose with my hands, I rushed out of the room and collided with someone who I assumed to be Matilda because of the clicking sound of her stiletto heels against the hard marbled floor as she ran after me. I felt a sharp pain in my head and it felt more like my veins were popping out as a groan escaped my lips. “Oh my! Brother-in-law, Conan” I heard Matilda scream after me. Her ear-piercing scream further added to the dilemma that I found myself in and it ended up triggering me further.I didn't know where I was running to, but I knew that I ran as fast as my leg could carry me. I ran so fast until I found myself around the fountain and buried my face in the basin of the fountain. Slowly, the water cooled down my nerves and all the pain I felt went away bit by bit.Raising my head from the water, ga
Liana's POVNever for a second have I ever forgotten about my plans to exert vengeance on Matilda. All the memories of how she stabbed me in the stomach still lingered in my head. Memories of how she pushed me from the rooftop were something that I would never be able to forget for the rest of my life. Me being alive and going back to the past was a second chance given to me by the moon goddess and I have made a vow not to misuse the chance. I would make sure that everyone involved in my death then would have their fair share of my vengeance and the moment was now!I leaned forward in the chair and stared at the blank laptop for hours as my hands curled into fists as I recollected everything that had happened for the past few days. Bruce Lawrence tried to attack my mother to the extent of it affecting Conan and Matilda not caring about how mom was faring but she had the audacity and temerity to tell Conan to accept her proposal.If I could remember vividly, she was the same person wh
