SAINT’S POV

I savored the cheap taste of nicotine as it filled my lungs. I was not usually a smoker, that is, I didn't smoke unless I was absolutely frustrated and that was what I was now.

Frustrated out of my mind because of a certain dark haired woman who didn't even know what she had awakened in me. I tapped the cigarette butt and watched as ash fell to the tray, my mood getting increasingly worse.

She dared to refuse me? She didn't want to marry me?

“How insolent,” I muttered, rememb

    LESLIE'S POV“Right, the annual CEO lineup gala is next week. I should have told you days ago but it completely skipped my mind. I'm sorry." Saint told me as we reached the office.“Next week?" I blinked. “I guess I have to look for a dress immediately." “I can find you one, if you will trust my taste.”"I do,” I chuckled as I remembered his amazing gown selection for the Baxter gala. It would have been a disaster without his help. “I look forward to seeing what you decide on." We both left the car and got into the elevator. Thankfully, it remained empty till we reached my floor. I turned to Saint and leaned up to press a kiss to his lips. “You didn't ask for a kiss today." “Oh, I thought—" I kissed him again. "I don't know what it is but you thought wrong. Let's have lunch together today, okay?”"Okay,” he grinned. "Have a nice day.”"You too.” I winked at him before leaving the elevator, a skip in my steps. I greeted my team with as much enthusiasm as I felt before going to my o

    SELENE'S POVI clenched my fists at their response. They were obviously asking for trouble.I smirked as I watched the men grinning and gloating like they had cornered us. Sucked to be them because I had actually been looking for an opportunity to flex my self defense skills.“I'm giving you the last chance to make better decisions as adults, okay?" I stepped closer to them, letting go of Leslie's hand. “Let us leave and I will forget that this happened." “Feisty, I see." The same man who tried to touch my face smiled. “Exactly how I like them. That fair skin would look nice, flushed and pink when I make you feel good.”I scoffed. " Are you sure you can handle me?”He moved in even closer. "I have tamed women wilder than you are." Well, I tried my best to warn him.I smiled in mockery before snapping my fist out and kneading him in the ribs. When he doubled over, I ignored the pain in my knuckles and hit him in the face too, grinning when I heard his nose crack. He crashed to the gr

    LESLIE’S POVHis eyes rounded and his mouth fell open. He stammered and ran his hand through his hair. I stood there waiting for a response while he went through all stages of disbelief and grief.“Are you looking for a lie to tell me?” I raised an eyebrow in question when he didn't reply.“No, I…I hoped you wouldn't find out,” he sighed. “Why?” I let out a dry chuckle. “Were you worried that I would come between both of you?”“No, baby. That's not it.” He shook his head. “I just didn't want to make you worry. Yesterday, I was actually locked up with her for hours.”“What?” I frowned.“Mum invited me to her office under the guise of work and tricked me into her office bedroom. Diana was already there.” He looked frantic. “This probably sounds ridiculous but that's what really happened. I didn't want to upset you. That's why I didn't tell you. There is no relationship between Diana and I. I swear it.”I tapped my fingers on my head, trying to wrap my head around his words. “So you wer

    LESLIE'S POV.Deja vu hit me like a whiplash.“What should we do?” Kayla cried and stood up. “Aunt Raine finding out is the same as my mum finding out.”“Calm down, okay? She's probably here to check up on me. She won't stay too long. Hide in my room till she leaves.” Selene helped her up. “Wait, the tests!” I gasped and grabbed them, giving it to Kayla in a hurry. “Let's go.”Selene grabbed my arm after Kayla went inside her room. She closed the door and then pulled me back to the sitting room. “There is no reason for you to hide too. She will leave faster when she sees you around.”“That's true.” I scratched my head and sat down again. I was so out of it. She nodded at me before opening the door. “Hi, mum. What are you doing here?”“I wanted to see you…Oh, I see you have company.” She paused when she saw me.“Good evening,” I bowed.“Good evening.” She eyed me. “I've not seen you since Diana left. You really put me in a difficult spot back there. You should have refused when I gav

    LESLIE'S POVI turned my head slowly, my heart in my throat and I fell on my butt when I stared into Selene’s equally shocked eyes.“Selene, what are you doing here?” I rose to my feet, my hand coming up to my neck.“I wanted you to help me out with a recipe.” She walked closer to us. “But it looks like I stumbled on something shocking instead.”“She…she was joking.” I scrambled to find something to say. “You know the way Kayla is.”“Really?” She folded her arms. “There's no need to lie to me. I'm not going to tell anyone.”“I'm pregnant,” Kayla repeated and I felt the same shock all over again. I've got to admit that I didn't see this coming. “Now you know the truth. You can do whatever you want with it since you don't like me anyways.”“Am I such a bitch in your eyes?” Selene scoffed. “Yes, I don't particularly like you but I don't hate you either. You look like you need help so I'm going to offer whatever I can.”Kayla stared at her, her hands loosening from around herself and drop

    LESLIE'S POVI grabbed my bag as Saint parked in his designated spot. I pushed the door open to step out but he grabbed my arm, forcing me to look back.“No goodbye kiss for me?” He cocked his head. “You know I can't go through the day without your kiss.”“We are at work.” I shook my head.“Since when has that mattered? Besides, you didn't give me one at home either. Come here.” He moved closer to me but I turned my face to the side before he could reach my lips so he ended up kissing me on the cheek.“Leslie?”“I have to go. I have an early meeting with my team.” I pulled my hand away from him and left his car. Even though I could feel his gaze on my back, I didn't look back.I sighed and leaned my head on the elevator as I got in. The day had barely started and I was over it already. I straightened up when other people started joining me and returned their greetings.I took a deep breath and pushed all thoughts of Saint and Diana to the back of my mind. Thinking about them wouldn't
