AYANA’s POV.I am freaking out but Kayden looks relaxed. The man is seated opposite us and he has refused to delete the photo or even negotiate with us. On a normal day, I wouldn’t have actually cared but right now the world already knows about my wedding with Jack. They will say all sorts of things about me and I genuinely do not wish to put myself in that kind of situation right now. That’s why I want the picture gone but this man in front of me is as stubborn as a mule and it annoys me.“You are really wasting my time” Kayden speaks again after a few minutes of silence, “and I am losing my patience now”“I do not wish to delete the photo” the man responds adamantly, “I am a reporter and this is what I do?”“You do not need that photo” I say, “you are only going to cause a controversy if that picture gets out”“So why did you do it?”“Excuse you?” My forehead curls into a frown. What the heck is this bastard talking about now?“If you knew this was going to cause a scene, why are
KAYDEN’s POV.“Can I get your autograph?” Some of the ladies squirmed as I walked past them into the restaurant, they were on their way out.“An autograph please” another begs.I don’t have a choice but to stop and start signing for them. It takes about five minutes but the moment I am done and I raise my head, my breath drops. She is walking towards me dressed so simple yet so beautifully. The pair of jeans looks so cute on her, her hair is left to fall in ringlets beside her and her face is bare of any kind of makeup but she looks the most beautiful in every way. I want to go to her and pull her into my embrace but hold myself. We haven’t spoken to each other in a long time, I missed her but she clearly didn’t care. She didn’t bother to call me and her wedding news is flying around the world.Her face lights up as soon as she sees me, a small smile creeps up on her face. My breath hitches again. Fuck!!! She is really beautiful.A group of people swoop around her and start asking for
AYANA’s POV.I sit across from my parents and Jack, we have been discussing the wedding but I haven’t even heard anything any of them said. My mind is still fixated on Kayden. We haven’t talked in over a week and I somehow miss him. Even Jeremiah too has not said a word to me since then. Everything felt so suffocating but somehow my parents are more interested in getting me married.“Ayana?” My father’s voice jolts me out of my train of thoughts and I raise my head to meet his gaze.“Yes?”“Are you even listening?” Mum asks.“Excuse me, you can continue the meeting without me”Before any of them can respond, I stand up and walk away but my phone rings out and a familiar name pops us. I almost don’t answer but then again, he will keep calling if I don’t respond so I click on the receive button and press the phone against my ear.“Yes. Tell me”“Ayana!” My agent’s bubbly voice filled through, “it’s been a while, yeah?”“Why did you call, Marcus? If you plan on pitching another job idea
KAYDEN’s POV.I sit across from Arielle, watching her eat the ice cream and somehow I wish she gets a brain freeze and leaves the hell alone. How did she even know my house anyways. Was she a stalker? What the heck was wrong with this girl stalking me. Well, now I know how creepy stalking is. I stalked Ayana for three years but by the moon goddess, I do not wish it on my worst enemy.“What do you want?” I can’t help but ask her again, “why are you in my house?”“Came to see my mate”“Aren’t you scared that I am going to do something to you?”“Would you though?” Her face breaks into a tiny smile, “you haven’t done anything to me yet so I am guessing you won’t hurt me”I lean forward, my gaze not leaving her even for a moment, “don’t get ahead of yourself kid”A knock comes on my door and Jayden pushes the door open, stepping inside. A tiny frown appears on his face when he sees Arielle. I didn’t even need a soothsayer to tell me he didn’t like her. This brother of mine never bothered t
AYANA’s POV,The door to my room bursts open and Jeremiah walks in looking very upset. He left for New York yesterday without saying anything to me but from the look on his face, I can already guess what is going on. How did he find out though? I thought I was thorough enough? This baby brother of mine, trust him to always be nosy when it doesn’t concern him.“What’s going on here?” I ask him.“When were you going to tell me?”“Excuse me?”“Sleeping with my best friend?”“What?”Now where was this coming from? What best friend? I thought he found out about me and Kayden. What’s this best friend talk he is blabbing on about now?“What best friend are you talking about, Jeremiah?”“Kayden!” He hisses and my heart drops.“What do you mean Kayden?”“The man you are sleeping with is my best friend!” He yells as his eyes redden, “you are sleeping with someone whom you are supposed to be calling brother. What the hell, Ayana?”“Kayden is your best friend? He is the Kayden you always talk abo
KAYDEN’s POV.Odette keeps looking at me without saying anything, trust my sister to always be mischievous anytime she gets the opportunity. She looks much happier now, even though her pregnancy looks bigger now. She looks really pretty and I am glad that she is my sister.“So when are you going to introduce that woman to me?” Father asks from where he is seated. I had entered inside to see him and Odette discussing something. As it that was not enough torture, she started to tease me about Ayana. How I want to tell them about what’s going on but the fact that we don’t even know what we are yet.“You have a woman, son?” My father asks me and I nod.“It’s nothing yet dad but..,“He’s totally smitten by her, dad” Odette chips in and I glare at her but the smile on her face calms me down. This sister of mine knows how to wrap me around her fingers.“How about you go home to your husband?” I ask her and she lets out a sigh.“Malachi is not home yet so I will stay here and tease you all I
