LOGINEden’s Point of ViewTheron brought me to bed, I let out a soft sleepy sigh as Theron’s arms tightened around my waist, his bare chest pressed against my naked back, sharing his warmth with me as he trailed kisses all over my face. He buried his face in the crook of my neck, inhaling my scent deeply.We were done making love, but he remained as clingy as ever, his touch soft, warm, and kind; I liked it.“You still won’t tell me that you’re pregnant?” He queried, his lips only centimeters away from my ears, his palms massaged my stomach softly. “How long were you planning to wait?”“I-I figured the doctor would tell you.” I stuttered, and his palms slid down my stomach, to below my navel.“Did I marry the doctor?” He quizzed, and I was barely able to stop myself from laughing, his touch lingered around my stomach. “And then you proceeded to run away with my daughter?”Daughter? How was he so certain about the sex of the child.“You should be punished for that.” His voice was a low and
Theron’s Point of View “You’re burning up.” Eden dropped me on the couch as we got into her tiny apartment; as much as I would like to take her away with me tonight, I didn’t have the physical capacity to do that. My body temperature had increased about two times the usual, I wasn’t sick beforehand, I wasn’t experiencing any pain—just intense heat. Maybe it’s because I have been away from her for too long, and seeing her all of a sudden, speaking to her, being on the verge of being walked out on again made my body begin to malfunction.“I am fine.” I muttered as she ran towards me, with a bowl and a wash cloth in her hands—all that ceremony wasn’t necessary. I was just so excited to be with my wife, and my unborn child.Satisfied with the thought that even after everything, Eden is mine. “No, you are not.” She complained as she dipped the cloth in the cold water, and she pressed it against my forehead in an attempt to lower my body temperature. “Do you have any headaches?”I sh
Eden’s Point of ViewTheron and I stood in silence, my hair in the wind, Uriel was long gone, he left the moment Theron threatened to bite him.Theron kept his distance, but he was close enough for me to see him; he wasn’t in the best of shape, he seemed thinner, and his stubbles were noticeable, even though it made him look more masculine, it was easy to tell that something bothered him—half of me was excited to see him, I wanted to jump in his arms, the other half was angry.I told him not to find me… I wanted him to wait for me… Guess he couldn’t do that much.“Hello love.” He finally broke the silence. “How have you been?”“How did you find me?” I asked curiously, taking a step back. I did everything right, didn’t spend from my credit cards, didn’t turn on my phone, I wasn’t in contact with anyone, not even Lola. “Why?”“You were in danger just now.” His voice was soft, as he deflected from the question. “I wasn’t going to interfere with your life if you weren’t in danger.”My eye
Eden’s Point of View“You’re quite good at this,” Madam Jacinta complimented my vase work, her eyes sparkled as she studied it. “Your arrangement is so good, doesn’t look like you’re an amateur who came here two days ago.”The elderly woman wasn’t shy of giving out compliments, I tilted the straw hat, wiped the sweat that trickled down my temple with the back of my wrists, grinning with appreciation.“Thank you.” My cheeks burned red at the compliment; she patted my shoulders and then walked off, inspecting the works of other florists in the shop. It’s been six days since I left the life I knew behind, running away from everything that tied me to Theron.The hospital, my family, the house, his family—Everything.I started working in this floral shop, it was run by the elderly woman in her late sixties, but the shop operates as a charity organization; Madam Jacinta donate free flowers to patients in the nearby hospital and clinics, despite being a struggling elderly woman herself.It f
Theron’s Point of ViewThe sharp ring from my phone woke me up, and I lifted my arms away from my closed eyes, ignoring the mild pain in my forehead. I have always been a light sleeper, I would wake up at the slightest rustle or sound, and it is extremely difficult for me to sleep for long hours.So, I usually lay down even though I’m awake, and now was no different, except that I was already drifting off to sleep.I grabbed my phone from the bed side table, rubbing off the rest of the sleep out of my eyes; why won’t this man just give up? Father had constantly been reaching out to me, despite ignoring him for the last four days now. He has made it some kind of ritual to call me at least twice in a day; morning and night.“Why do you bother me so much father?” I grumbled into the phone as I sat up right, my feet searching for the furry flip flops at the sides of the bed. “I was at your residence this morning.” He answered, his tone flat, and reflexively, my eyes darted towards the bed
Theron’s Point of View“Uh,” The junior gasped as she accidentally bumped into me.“I’m sorry—” Her eyes widened in surprise as soon as she recognized me, as she trailed off, and my eyes fell down to the name imprinted on her scrub.“Judith.” The name rolled of my tongue.“Dr. The—” My palm slammed over her mouth, and her eyes bulge as she stared back at me in shock, I didn’t need her announcing my presence.“Quiet,” I muttered in a low whisper, she nodded hurriedly, her cheeks flushed only then did my palm slipped from her lips. “Did you see Felicia inside?”She nodded again.“Stand outside, and don’t let anyone come in until I am done.” I ordered.“Yes sir.” She muttered as she quickly rushed out.I continued my approach towards the room, Felicia was fumbling with her scrub, she seemed to be searching for something; probably the audacity to think she was going to get away with what she did to Eden.I leaned in the doorway, watching her every move carefully, she was still oblivious t
