LYDIA'S POV:LATER THAT DAY:Finally, I arrived home with a bunch of security following behind me, ordered by my father. I was exhausted and all I wanted to do was to take a long relaxing shower and head to bed but I couldn't. Infact I couldn't rest knowing Andrew was in the hospital, so after stripping out of clothes, I went for a quick shower and threw on a cream essential hoodie along with matching joggers. Heading downstairs with a small bag which contained my phone, tissue and wallet, I entered into the kitchen grabbing snacks and drinks. In the sitting room laid a bag for Andrew and Ariana in case she needed anything and in case Andrew wakes up and gets discharged.I was also going to stop by to grab a burger and a healthy meal for Ari and I, so I rushed out meeting two muscular guards standing there right in front of my apartment with a very serious expression."Thank you." I smiled as they collected my bags from me. My phone dinged indicating I had gotten a message when I doub
What if I never get to share with him the amazing news I had discovered? I can't leave him for a second, I can't. I would just sleep on the couch if that makes it better." She expressed looking at him while intertwining their fingers."Don't feel guilty, Andrew is going to be okay, alright? I just know he's going to be up from that bed before the end of this month and he will be here to listen to everything you have to tell him and also tease me about literally everything and I got a lot of jokes up my sleeves as well." We chuckled softly at that and I took a seat on the cream cozy couch."But for now you can share it with me if you would like to. If it's a problem or something you're excited about. I'm all ears and just maybe sleeping on the couch is preferable. " She looked at me contemplating playing with Andrew's fingers."Though I wanted my Andry to be the first to hear, what I actually called for that day was to share some good news ...well I don't even know if it's good. I had
NATHANIEL'S POV:SAME NIGHT:I turned around tracing Lydia's gaze after she had a look that screamed, 'yikes'. I rolled my eyes meeting the eyes of the man who had picked her up from the company that night and the man she also went to the tech event with.Were they dating? I doubted they were together. However, what I still wasn't clear about was Lydia's feelings for me. Not that I believed she could ever have any feelings for me after all I had put her through. I just wanted to know if the fight I was willing to wage to make her fall for me would at least be worthwhile, if there was something worth pursuing.I couldn't read her at all but it did make me happy seeing her smile after receiving my gifts for her. She was truly a gorgeous woman.I hope she knew I was sincerely going to stand behind her as she works to discover the truth behind her attempted murder. What if it is truly Jenny that's involved in this or your mother, will you really make sure they end up behind bars? After w
3RD POV:It was Friday, the release of Lydia's book. The books were in all the stores, and there were a bunch of people waiting outside of the different branches in all the Miller restaurants in the cool breeze of the morning waiting patiently for the doors to be opened in order to purchase a copy or more. The media had just arrived at 7 a.m and were baffled by the amount of people present, they instantly began to record and interview a few bystanders."I am so excited to read the book! I want to know everything Lydia Miller has been through and everything Mrs King has done to her. That's why I am up early to purchase a copy." A female who looked to be in her late teens and early twenties said to the reporter. "I love Lydia Miller. She seems like she's been through a lot and I just admire her so much. In case you're seeing this Lydia Miller, I want you to know I love you and I hope you organize a meet and greet for us, your fans. Plus I hope your brothers get healed and I'm sending a
3RD POVWhen they made eye contact, the man began to exit the restaurant in a haste."Lomi, get him!" Lomi raised her head up in surrender and stared at Mrs King like she was stupid."You get him. Thank Goodness I have saved enough money, now I can quit this miserable job and tell you to your face how pathetic and small you are. You might have all the money in the world but look at yourself. All alone, and pathetic…it's embarrassing." Lomi spat and Mrs King raised her hand up in an attempt to slap Lomi but she held her hand stopping her."Go on somewhere and stop humiliating yourself." Lomi carried her book bag and brought out a copy of the Clap Back, flaunting it in Mrs King's face before leaving the restaurant. Mrs King began to breathe heavily and tears were threatening to fall from her eyes. She glanced at the television playing in the background and they were discussing Lydia's book, she grabbed her luxurious bag and tried to take deep breaths. She unlocked her phone and scrolle
LYDIA'S POV.2 WEEKS LATER."But how come he or she never texted me back? Is the person trying to play with me?" I asked Lorena over the phone as I walked down the hospital hallway after a long day of work.I felt completely dejected and disappointed, everything wasn't going exactly how I pictured. It had been close to three weeks since Andrew's near death experience and Andrew had not still woken up from coma. Neither have I been able to apprehend the murderer nor gather evidence against Jenny. I just wanted to break down crying.Though my book was selling out all over the country and it was being pushed to neighboring countries, The Clap Back was definitely a success and money was flowing into my account but it didn't matter at the moment. Andrew wasn't here to gift or congratulate me or to hype me up, my whole heart was heavy and all the tears I had been pushing in was threatening to fall."You know what Lydia? How about you just go to the police station, let them track the number
Lydia's POV: "You know the board members called for a meeting and I was a little bit nervous, I forgot I was a Miller. When I arrived at the meeting which was also the day of my book launch. The board members whom I thought would remove me from the position thinking I wasn't qualified and simply got the position because of dad, they rather gave me a proper welcome including the employees. I found myself truly smiling that day, like with the book sales and the warmth of everyone. Though I know some might be fake and bitter, especially coming from the Chief Marketing Officer, I was happy that day. That had to be my best day in the weeks you have been here." I also informed him of the package I sent to Mrs King and though I laughed alone, I truly wanted to have seen Mrs King's reaction to my book. Nathaniel and I have still been talking though I had been distant, he was still trying to help me in a way. I had expected him to be mad at me because of the book but nothing about it came fro
JENNY'S POV:Same day:"What I would like to know first off, is who are those dumb fools who spoke to the media?" Mrs King spoke while drinking a bottle of water as we were seated at the back seat of the Rolls Royce and the driver in front was driving, taking small glances at us."I have no idea..I really don't." I answered dying with frustration. She had just been so annoying and extremely clingy since the launch of Lydia's book. To be honest, when I saw her this way I couldn't help but lose all the respect I had for her and she just seemed so pathetic to me. But I had concluded that I had to stand for as long as I can as I have a strong feeling that she just might be helpful in the future."And plus why hasn't any of my children said a word to me?" She stressed and I internally rolled my eyes at her zoning out as she continued her rants and bants."You know what….you, drive us to the penthouse my son is staying in." I instantly turned to look at her and the driver obeyed, taking a U
