Dahlia's POVMy job at Rising Tech has been great and working with Mr. Liam is a breathe of fresh air, he's truly gifted in game programming and gaming softwares. It's amazing how much I can put together what I learned at school to create a game that millions of persons can play.Almost everyone at the company knows I'm pregnant and it's a relief they don't treat me differently, they're friendly especially the ladies at the reception. They're always excited to see me when I enter the building every morning, they'll ask questions like 'how are you and the baby?' 'is the baby alright?' 'is it a girl or a boy?'. Hana and Sara will laugh out their hearts when I tell them, I'm just 2months gone and I'll rather get my baby's gender reveal at birth. Maybe I might change my mind along this journey. The company is throwing a party next week to announce the transfer of the main branch from California to New York and I hear they've invited important persons in the Tech industry. I am super exc
Dai's POVI am counting the minutes this jet has to land in New York and every hour that draws me closer to Lia, my older brother's wife couldn't get much out of Lia about the new company she's working at. Lia mostly engages in platonic conversations with her and Hana has told Abe to let me leave Lia make her own decisions. I understand her loyalty to her friend even though it hurts.Abe and I travel to the US together since he plans to see his girlfriend and spend quality time with her. I plan to trail Hana after her date with Abe tomorrow but things don't go as planned , Hana comes over with a small packed bag to see Abe at the hotel we are staying at. Abe informs me she is staying with him till he travels back. My hopes of seeing Lia shattered.Hana refuses to discuss about Lia with either of us and my best friend being a love sick puppy begged me to let go of trying to convince his woman. I dabble on possible areas to begin my search for Lia which seems time consuming.I'm not giv
Dahlia's POVI became mute and froze at the spot I was standing at looking into the eyes of my baby's father, for the first time in a few months, he didn't look like his powerful self. The Dai Japana I knew who was he'll bent on making my life a living hell looked tired and stressed. Sara felt Hana was keeping a secret when she arrived New York, we had to force it out of her.She told us how Dai had been stalking Sara's home back in Tokyo and how he had been bugging her to help him win me back. I didn't believe my ears when she told us everything. So, I had just thought he won't be serious about finding me though I had to take on precautionary measures like, letting go of social media and just focusing on my Job at Rising Tech.Standing here staring at the man who made me cry for many weeks, battling depression and pregnancy hormones. "Lia!" his voice comes out like a whisper which brings me back to the reality of things, I turn around and bolt out the closes exit out of this place. S
Dai's POVHolding Lia against her will made me feel terrible, seeing her cry in the elevator broke my heart so much. I had to let her go tonight not because I am giving up but I need to think about my plan to win her back. Last night was crazy, I felt dejected and abandoned. I promised not to drink when I decided to come to the US to find Lia, but I broke that promise and got wasted last night in my room. Wallowing in self-pity and thinking about the woman I lost.I can't remember what happened after drinking so much. My head hurts as I try to open my eyes, the curtains are open though I think I remember shutting them last night. My brain works over time and I sit up supporting my body with the headboard of the bed."Sleeping beauty finally decides to wake up" that....that voice sounds awfully familiar, my eyes get acquainted to the light in the room. "Liam? how?....." of course he got the keys to my room since he's the one who booked for it."I'm glad you figured everything so, I wo
Dahlia’s POVI was hoping today will be different, it was indeed a bright and sunny day. The birds were chirping outside my little one room living space (with a toilet) which made me feel more at ease with myself. Even though my two wealthy friends offered me a place at their mansions but I turned it down due to my overbearing pride which has me feeling like I need to go down the path of success on my own!.My name is Dahlia Harrison Garcia and I’m a struggling 24year old graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in Information technology and Communication Engineering . Graduated a month ago amongst the very best in my class but still struggling to get a decent job with my brilliant degree in this charming city of Tokyo. I moved to Japan 4years ago from the United States of America when I was given a life changing scholarship during my high school graduation ceremony for being a straight A’s student and the best student in my batch. The scholarship was an offer to cover the tuition fees a
Dahlia’s POV I have a job interview today at one of the largest Tech start-ups here in Tokyo, it’s well known for it’s welcoming nature and hardwork by all the employees. I’m praying hard I get the job so I can clear off my student loans and start a promising career. I get pulled out of my thoughts with the sound of my ringtone filling my little space, “a video call from my girls!” I squeal “hello Ladies” I call out as I answer the call and Hana says “ Holla bitch” same time as Sara says “Yo babes” and we all laugh while I scold Hana for using cuss words. “ yes mama, I won’t swear till you get the job and I know you will!” Hana says with so much excitement, “ how do you feel about the interview girly?” Sara enquires, “girlllllll I won’t lie but I’m so nervous, I’ve got just my internship experience as backup hoping to get in as a junior developer” I speak out so fast that I’m out of breath but Sara the optimist had to throw in a few heart warming support “Lia we believe in yo
Dai’s POV My parents have been persistent with throwing a success party in my honour but I know they only want to attract more investors to the Electronic Japana Group even though my job has nothing to do with the electronics the company produces. My return trip from London to Japan from a business conference wasn’t revealed to anyone but my parents still managed to know and set a lunch dinner the next day which I declined. It’s been one week of ignoring my family but they’re very persistent with the party. Dad just had to use my older brother Daichi Japana to talk me into their fancy dinner which truly wasn’t going to be only in my honour but for their company’s sake. Knowing both Daichi and Daiki are my best friends they invited me for lunch at our favourite Mexican restaurant owned by my best friend Akira Abe Mūn. Finishing my work for the day, I head out for our planned dinner and as I’m about to press the elevator door open, it opens immediately revealing a very beautiful y
