General p.o.v.
She hadn't eaten at all as the unease filled her stomach, leaving her mother quite anxious but mostly sad.
Honestly, Louisa couldn't ignore the jabs of hurt and pain from advertising on her face when she saw Mr Hunter prepare and leave for work early this morning.
At some point of trying to eat breakfast, her eyes pricked with tears on the embarrassment she would face when she goes to school with Edward driving her once again.
Immediately, her food was discarded because Cheryn noticed it wasn't going to be touched.
Her mother sat across her and slowly yet sadly ate her cereal while she watched Louisa with fear in her eyes.
To be truthful, she had never seen her active and brave daughter so downcast and broken to the point of seeing it clearly through her glistening eyeballs.
She couldn't help but

Hunter's p.o.v.I took a deep breath and couldn't help but smile while I hopped out of the vehicle.I took in the environment with keen interest and I laughed at myself for what I have surprisingly become. Who would have thought that when I would be asked to choose between business and a kid, I would've chosen the kid? When I called Mr Reid a few minutes before changing my direction, he was okay with my change of plans but said we needed to discuss during his upcoming event.I've never been happier with procrastination in my life. I tightened my grip on the little gift I got Louisa from a breakfast store and checked the time once more.Seven thirteen.I've still got forty seven minutes before her first class bell goes off. Maybe I could drop by and s

Iris's p.o.v."Hello? Mom?" I spoke into the receiver with a subtle voice." Baby! I haven't heard from you in months. How are you?" My mother's voice chirpily rings through the phone. I let out a laugh and run my hands through my hair, feeling a little bad that I hadn't bothered calling them all this while and not also returning their calls.It really isn't much of my fault. No one wants to tell their parents that they are living under the same roof with the same guy who raped you years ago. Though it's partly their fault by not telling me that my current boss was their former boss." I'm good but mad at you" I pouted" Uh-what did we do?" Her voice sounding unsure about the situation." Well for starters, I should have known that I was working for The Mr McConnell" my words

Iris's p.o.v.—————" Louisa if I walk into that kitchen and see even your shadow, you'll be going to school with a bald head!" " Eeeeeeeeeeekk!!" I didn't need to turn around to see her running down the hallway, her footsteps were tiny but loud enough. That's what she gets for sneaking around with Jenny to steal cupcakes from the refrigerator. Her bedtime was an hour ago!Jenny's laughter preceded her presence in the living room where I was watching some TV." And we wonder where she gets her violence from" she chuckles again and I turn to view her leaning against the wall near to the kitchen door." I honestly wonder the same thing" I reply with a huff and throw myself back down to continue with my entertainment." You are hilarious" she laug

Hunter's p.o.v.-------" Yeah, tell Lily that she should set the readings. We'll be meeting in a few" I was giving out instructions when Chance walked in." And inform Ir-Miss Jules to get ready too. Thanks" I wasn't given the opportunity to keep the office line down before Chance began to hit me with his question." So when was I going to hear that you had an accident from you and not your hot receptionist two weeks after?" People have really got to stop sharing info about me without my consent." Well I guess I don't need to tell you anymore" I said with enough sly in my words." What's up with you?" He says after taking a seat across me." Oh I don't know, probably has something to do with the fact that I told you a secret and you telling Jules two hours later"

🎶 hold my hand and you promised, to never let go.Iris's p.o.v.-----" It's our problem freeeee... Philosophyyyy... HAKUNA MATATAAA!!" " Someone should remind Jules never to leave her kid with Cheryn anymore" Claudette and I burst into laughter at Jenny's complain because of Louisa and Cheryn's newly profound joy.I wouldn't blame her, they've been singing Lion King soundtracks ever since they came in here.Don't get me started on their imitation of the monkey in the beginning." Don't listen to her Louie, she's just jealous" Cheryn patted Louisa's head and smirked at Jenny." Nuh-uh... Mommy said jealousy is very very bad" Louie scolded and folded her arms to send a disappointed look to Jenny." Testify angel" Claudette barked in laughter as she applied a layer of c

Iris's p.o.v.-----So Hunter has been deathly quiet.And I have been biting my lips to avoid laughing at his nervousness.Edward was driving us to the venue and it seemed like forever to Hunter." Edward, how much longer do we have to complete this journey?" Hunter finally asked after glancing at his watch in every five minutes interval for the past fifteen minutes." Am I hearing a modified adult version of ' are we there yet?' " Edward mocked and I lost it.I laughed out so loudly that I was gasping for air. But when I want to stop, a quick look at Hunter's face sends me reeling in laughter once more." Stop..... Stop... I can't..." I managed to blurt in between my laughter." Iris you're insane" I heard Hunter's voice but it seems to be laced with amuseme

Hunter's p.o.v." Mr McConnell?" A plump lady calls as soon as she steps out of the room." Yes?" I stood to my feet." Mr Reid would see you now. He's out the balcony" she smiles briefly before walking away.The event was currently taking place downstairs and after searching for Mr Reid for over an hour I decided to give him a call.He detailed that he was on the second floor, room fifty two C in the hallway.I just realized this building was also a luxury guest inn." Thank goodness" I smiled to myself in apprehension of speaking with Mr Reid and proceeded to locate his room.I've been harboring thoughts about revealing my intentions to Mr Reid and it's high time that I did.Everything else is currently a secondary discussion. Once he's done saying what he has in store, I'll

Third person p.o.v.It was a few minutes to three am but she hadn't winked a slumber, she looked to her side to ensure her baby was tucked in safe and sound.She sighed softly and turned to her side to try catching some sleep.After a few minutes of squeezing her eyes to no avail, she had to figure out what was wrong with her.No..She knew exactly what's wrong. Ever since Hunter had come home looking so sad and crestfallen, she hadn't felt so comfortable.Her little thought told her that it had something to do with Mr Reid and the deal, probably Mr Reid hadn't agreed with the terms.If that were to be the case then Hunter is really doomed, he can't get any backing or financial support to pay off the debts.He was left to the fate of some drug Lord's somewhere around the world.But th
