IAN'S POV
Luck was on my side.... the moment i reached the school, i saw Andrea. She was friends with Tori back in high schooland always rooted for the two of us. She was beyond excited to see me after so many years. The cute young brunettefrom high school had grown so big. Apparently, she is a teacher in the pre school and had stayed back after classes to getsome work done. That's why i was lucky enough to see her. When she inquired about what i was doing in a pre school, ihonestly did not know what to say. I scratched my forehead.
"Wait....Do you have a child enrolled here?" She asked with so much enthusiasm.
TORI'S POVA week had passed since i met Andrea and Ian. I honestly don't know why Ian was in that school. Something was notadding up. Is he now stalking my daughter? I hope not. As for Andrea, I wasn't ready to talk to her. She never didanything wrong. She was in Canada when Ian left me and had no idea about my pregnancy. I just couldn't face her andtell her i did not finish school or achieve any of my plans because i got knocked up. So for the past week, i begged Ritaand Susan to drop and pick up Dahlia from school.I had to work
TORI'S POV"Uhhh...aunt...i came to see..." Zach was going to answer but the doctor walked out.The male doctor looked up from the chart he was holding. "Dahlia Donovan?""Yes...I'm her mom." I chirped in immediately.Ian's mom scoffed. "Its not strange you got knocked up so early."I ignored her and looked back at the doctor. "How's my child?"The doctor looked at Zach. "Is this her father?"Ian's mother looked shocked. "Zach? No way."
IAN'S POVIts been a week since i spoke to Fabian. The news he had for me made me have sleepless nights due to overthinking. Hetold me how Tori's family abandoned her when she got pregnant and how she had to stop schooling. She was on her own,with no family or friends or money and suffered a lot. He also said she was with no man since then. I was beyondconfused. So that's the reason why she's broke and has to work. Even Fabian is convinced that I'm the father of her childbecause to him, we look alike and Tori has been with no other guy. Fabian is really good at his job.Alyssa noticed my lack of enthusiasm these past days and when she asked, i said
WRITER'S POV.Ian was beyond furious, he drove past the speed limit to Tori's house. Tina kept telling him to slow down but he ignoredher. He was angry because Tori didn't tell him he had a child, and even when he had asked, she refused. What was shethinking? That he'll take the child from her? It was possible but he wouldn't do something like that to her. A lot wasgoing through his mind and all he wanted at the moment was to talk to Tori and his child.Meanwhile, Tori was trying hard to give Dahlia her medication but the little girl kept crying. "Please baby, you need totake your medicine."
WRITER'S POVTori quietly shut Dahlia's door and walked past Ian, going to the kitchen. Ian followed her and watched as she poured aglass of cold water for herself and drank everything at once, then refilled the glass again."Your sister left already." He said in an attempt to start a conversation but Tori only shrugged."Uhh...and I'm sorry I came here unannounced." He continued, and just like before, Tori shrugged. She just didn't wantto talk because she knew it would only make her cry, and she didn't want to cry before Ian.
TORI'S POVI heard Ian shut the door behind him and i silently broke down and cried, hugging myself in the process. I felt so lonely,so empty. What happened to all the love we once shared? To all our dreams? And to think he moved on from me soeasily. While I was busy working hard for myself and our daughter, he was living the dream life with that girl.But he did say he tried to reach you. He's sorry for everything. Goodness girl, the guy knelt before you and apologized.I know my inner girl is an Ian fan, and i also know she's right sometimes. At least he didn't
TORI'S POVIrrespective of Dahlia's tantrum, we still carried out the transfusion. Ian wanted us to talk about the incidence earlier but itold him it could wait till after Dahlia was discharged from the hospital. The transfusion was successful and the doctorsaid Dahlia would be fine. Ian insisted on paying the bills and i strongly refused, but he still did it anyway. Zach wenthome to cook something nice. Pecks of having a chef as your friend.Dahlia had a private room and was fast asleep. I sat on the chair by her bed and watched her sleeping body while Ianstood by the window
IAN'S POV"Just stop lying to me, Ian. I called the office and they said you weren't in any damn meeting. You weren't in your parentshouse and you sure as hell wasn't at Michael's or Fabian's or Zach's house. So where the hell have you been going to?You've been lying to me, right? Do you have another woman?" Alyssa asked angrily.Okay, maybe i shouldn't have lied about being in the office. Now she's throwing a bitch fit. And i need to leave nowbecause Tori is waiting for me. I have to take Dahlia out and with the way I've planned this day, Alyssa can't ruin i
