Lucian wallowed on the floor where he fell still trying to apologize. He has been trying to 'explain things' for the last couple of minutes and my ears were already bleeding from his plea. Who knew that Lucian could be this annoying.But then I was still trying to comprehend it all as I stood there with my eyes burning in anger. Why would anyone want to take the company away from me? Why Lucian? Let me see how he will be able to take the company away from me this time.Mrs Kingston barged into the office like she was being pursued. How she manages to run so fast with her walking stick still amazes me. Of course she came with Chantel who was always around her like a fly. Immediately I saw Chantel, I went out of control."You!", I said pointing at Chantel as I approached her, but she sprinted as usual behind Mrs Kingston. "What are you doing here?", I asked further as I came closer to them."Kaiden stop this", Mrs Kingston waved her hand in front of her as a barrier, just so I won't com
Lucian's POV Immediately I got a call from the receptionist saying that Kaiden was in the company. I didn't doubt that because the noise that was coming from outside was very disturbing that I wondered what went wrong. Only to be informed that Kaiden was making his way upstairs.Without thinking any further, I quickly took all the documents that belonged to me on Kaiden's desk and ran out as soon as I could. Unfortunately, I bumped into Kaiden who didn't take me likely. He pulled me back into the office and I began to shiver like I just came out from the Atlantic Ocean. I couldn't believe my eyes.Why did Kaiden come back? And why did he match straight to his office first? . Guess this was a conspiracy against me to catch me in his office. No one informed me that Kaiden had decided to resume. I couldn't breathe as Kaiden didn't give me any breathing space. His presence literally took my breath away.He picked the right day to surprise us with his presence. Mrs Kingston is not around
Stacey's POV Mrs Kingston and I were the only ones who took Trisha to the hospital since we were the only ones who knew about her pregnancy. I still wondered why she left the mansion, even when she was fully aware of her condition, just to save Kaiden who doesn't care about her. Trisha is definitely a different person compared to me. I would not even be caught dead risking my life trying to save a man.Luckily for her, she didn't have any major complications because we rushed her in early. Come to think of it, why would Mrs Kingston have a secret passage from the company, under the ground, to the company's bar which is at the back of the company. Why would someone have a secret passage if there is nothing to hide or something to run from?Back to Trisha, the doctor said Trisha was stressing herself and the baby, that was cause of the pain. The doctor also said that this was bound to happen since she never went for antenatal check ups. Especially when this is her first child. Trisha w
Trisha's POV Time is running out and I can feel it. I can't even hide it anymore as my stomach has started blotting out and I don't know what to do. My oversized gown are becoming suspicious and I have to go for check up every now and then. How will I keep up? How will I keep lying to Kaiden about this pregnancy? It is not working at all.Mrs Kingston is becoming overly nice to me and it is creeping me out. As Kaiden has gone back to the company, she make it her duty to contact the doctor to come for a checkup every now and then. I wonder why she is not angry at me.The news also captured the whole incident that happened the other day at the company. It appeared that Mrs Kingston and Chantel had barged into the company while the press was outside. Coupled with the fact that I also barged into the company after a few months of being sacked, at the same time Kaiden came back to the company.As suspected, the media was more concerned about my oversized gown and why I we didn't come out
I was raped last night by Kaiden. Yes, you heard me well. It was the worst night I had ever had with Kaiden. Kaiden's humanity was turned off at that moment and he almost tore me into pieces. I wailed, screamed, cried out loud, I cried all the cries for help but he didn't hear me. I laid there on the bed. My back hurt, my abdomen, in between my thighs hurt, my shoulders hurt and my waist line hurt. I woke up in the morning only to realize that he was gone and I obviously couldn't move. Kaiden literally left me there and I almost bled to death. He had accomplished his mission, so I didn't expect him to stay.So he really thought that by doing that I would get pregnant instantly. If he needed a child so badly, Chantel was more than available to bare him a child. What was the essence of forcing himself on me?Mrs Kingston came in to check up on me like she always does every morning, just to see my door completely yanked out, and I was sitting in a pool of blood. She quickly called the a
"Stacey I am leaving, and there is nothing anyone can do about that", I said throwing my clothes from the wardrobe to the bed."I know Trisha. I mean, after everything that has happened, I will not give you any reason not to leave. But first you'll have to think this through", Stacey tried to convince me but it was too late to listen to what she had to say."You are forgetting that few days ago I couldn't walk, because Kaiden went haywire and raped me", I yelled at Stacey but she didn't budge. She was still bent on convincing me."At least sit down and think things through. Where will you go from here? You know that moving a few miles away won't get you far from Kaiden. He will still find you and haunt you. How much do you have in your bank account? Will the money in your bank account take care of you and your baby? Think this through, please", Stacey said. I stood there in silence and I didn't know what to say, Stacey was right."Three days in the hospital was more than enough time f
Kaiden's POV Something was off, I suddenly felt this deep sense of emptiness as I walked in through the elevator. I know that Trisha had been in the hospital for days, but today was different. I felt all alone again. Some might say that I don't feel lonely, but I do.I just felt so insecure, scared and angry that night I raped Trisha. I felt that she should have at least been carrying my child by now since we have been together for a very long time. Chantel shouldn't have been the one carrying my child, she didn't deserve it.I also felt that getting Trisha pregnant was the only way to hold her to myself, to own her. All this wouldn't have happened if she was pregnant for me already. Then I went out of control and raped the shit out of her. She must surely hate me for this. She has every right to.I knew that something was wrong with Trisha and I couldn't pin point what was actually wrong with her. When I raped her that night, it was different. Trisha is someone with a very flat stom
Mrs Kingston's POV Yessss!!! I am very glad that Trisha left the Kingston Mansion once and for all. After a long time of trying to make her leave. I am completely not sad that she left, it was for the best. Although I really felt bad that she left that way. I didn't even have to pressure her to leave, she left on her own.Chantel is now Kaiden's and Kaiden's wife alone, Trisha is not in the way. To be honest, when Trisha started feeling pains, I felt the sorrows of a mother for her. I couldn't leave her like that just because I hated her, and helping her didn't mean that I liked her.I did it for Kaiden's sake. What would have happened if Kaiden had taken her to the hospital or if things has become more complicated than they were before? I was going to keep Trisha's pregnancy a secret, and it was going to stay a secret.It didn't really sit well with Kaiden. All my hope was that while Trisha was in the hospital, Kaiden would use all that time to put himself in order and probably heal
Lucian's POV I am not lifting a finger for Kaiden, especially when he is taking my rightful place as the CEO. But Kaiden really needs my help, and I am going to help him, because it is going to be of help to me. I know that for the past few days he has not been himself because of Trisha, and I am ready to help just so that I can see him leave.Mrs Kingston told me a month ago that if Kaiden didn't quit his stupidity, she will give the company to Stacey and I. Seeing Kaiden like this is the best state for me, and I will work my butt off just to see that Kaiden goes after Trisha for my own good. I know that Kaiden would not believe me, so I have made a vow to look for Trisha myself, just to prove Kaiden wrong.And no, Mrs Kingston will not be involved in this. I don't want her to think that I was the one who encouraged her son to go after a girl who is just not good for him. So when I promised Kaiden not to tell Mrs Kingston, I meant it.It will take a long time to convince Kaiden that
Kaiden's POV So everybody just really think that they can make me forget Trisha? Even my mom? I know that Trisha coming into my life was the worst thing that ever happened me, to those who knew me before that. But they fail to understand what she has done to me instead, not just the physical things that everyone sees. Before Trisha left, I felt something that I had never felt before, and I really need to confront her about it. Trisha was a mistake, but that mistake turned to something else in the long run, and I know that she doesn't know it yet. Scratch love, I don't love her, I don't believe in love. Just that, she is something more than that.I also know that my mother knows where Trisha went to but she has refused to tell me anything about it. I have tried, yes, I have tried to look for her and she is no where to be found. I am not a fool, Trisha didn't just go back to Michael, her ex boyfriend. She wasn't even in contact with him since I fired him.Michael was always a cheat, i
Trisha's POV I jerked off from my sleep thirty minutes after realizing that someone has called me earlier, but I couldn't tell who the person was or what I said. I quickly grabbed my phone to check my call history just in case it wasn't Michael. I heaved a sigh of relief as I saw that is was Chantel not Michael. Who knows what I would have said to Michael.I called her back just in case she really needed me. As the phone rang in my hand, I tried to remember what I said to her before, just to be safe. I didn't want to tell her any of my secrets by mistake."Hey Trisha, it's about time you called", she said loudly. "You seem very happy this morning, spill the tea", I said."You of all people should know how it feels to make it to the next day alive. It is something to celebrate, isn't it?", she said even louder than the first, and I quickly took my phone away my ear."My eardrums will fall out if you don't stop shouting Chantel", I yelled back at her, keeping the phone at arms length,
Chantel's POV To be honest, I have come to like Trisha a whole lot than I hated her. Since she left, I have been all alone in the Kingston's Mansion. Mrs Kingston doesn't allow me to leave the house because she thinks that I am bound to do something stupid outside. Plus the fact that she moved me to Trisha's room which is in Kaiden's side of the mansion.Sometimes I fear what Kaiden would do to me. I know that I am not safe even though I lock myself inside the room the whole day. If Kaiden could uproot the door the last time, he could also go it again. The good thing is that he doesn't come to disturb me even if I am in the room for two days. Only the days that Mrs Kingston comes to knock at the door that I open it. It's like trying to survive in hell.So the only person I turn to is Trisha. She has been my companion since I turned to her for one. Since the day that Kaiden tried to break my bones again, I couldn't find comfort. I am very glad that Trisha did not turn me down. She is
Trisha's POV Michael was saying all the right things to me and I was beginning to fall for him the more. He went too extreme when he said that he was going to take care of my baby, not knowing the real father of the child. If at all he knew, he wouldn't have said that. Now that he has said that, what if he comes to find out about the real father, I wonder if he will regret his decision.I watched him go on and on as I admire his handsome face, it was always more handsome any time I looked at him. I have been really blessed with handsome men around me. When he confessed his feelings for me, I didn't know what to say. I said I was going to take things slow while trying to weigh the feelings I have for Kaiden and for him. He practically made the first move.But then, why would Kaiden be an option? Michael has literally presented himself to me, and I finally have a chance to be happy for once in my life. Why do I want to throw that all away by some blur feelings I have for Kaiden. I cann
Michael's POV I lost her before because I couldn't convince her to stay, but I wasn't going to make the same mistake again. Trisha was finally being herself around me, without hiding anything. I didn't expect her to say anything like that. I honestly felt pity for her. The story to why I came here was different from what hers, so I had to respect that.That was actually a blast that I wasn't prepared for. It was very hard for me to take it all in, and she brought that up at the very point when I was about to kiss her. From what she told me, she didn't deserve it. Her own part of the breakup was not like mine and I had to understand it.As I grabbed her at the door, I could see the pain in her eyes, she couldn't stop crying. I took her in my arms and told her it was okay. I didn't want to be the same jerk that she broke up with. I was changed now, and she deserved to see it in me. I led her gently to the table, in the mindset that I was going to listen to everything she had to say, a
"Wow, you impress me Michael. What's the story", I said sipping on one of the most expensive wine here. It tasted like heaven. One might even get drunk with realizing it."What story?", he said across the table with a smirk."Come on, everyone has a story behind this lavish lifestyle", I said, my eyes glued to his like I never wanted to take it off."Here is how it goes, but you will need to listen attentively", he said smiling."Okayy", I smiled back."After the day you came to my office and everything went down, I obviously don't want to dive into it, Kaiden, my boss at the time sacked me", he explained. He didn't smile at all when talking about this, his countenance had changed completely."Wait! What? Why?", I questioned. I mean, why would Kaiden want to sack anyone just like that."I thought you knew already?""No I didn't", my face so confused."It turned out that Kaiden took the whole me messing up thing seriously, and personal too. According to him, I had also messed up a few
Trisha's POV Michael feels like a different and more repented person to me. I feel like he is trying to make up for what he did to me. No, I don't have anything against him. I have too much on my mind to think of than what Michael had done to me, or even to hold it against him. I just can't. I want to give him a chance and see how it works out.I am not with Kaiden anymore. I am not his wife, I was never treated as one. I was just a medicine for him to heal from his past addiction. So I have the right to give Michael a chance. Who knows, if he loves me that much, he will have to accept Kaiden's child too. I am pretty sure that Michael doesn't know about my relationship with Kaiden. I mean, we were never a thing, that's why people didn't really know about it. My relationship with Kaiden has been a secret all this while, and I want to keep it that way. I am sure Michael doesn't know that I am pregnant too. He will come to find out sooner or later, and when he does, I will have to come
I just made the biggest mistake of giving Trisha my number, I would have gotten hers as well. It has been a week since I gave her my number and she still hasn't called. I am getting impatient, but I can't let my impatience get the best of me. I even went to the hospital a couple times to see if she would show up eventually, but she didn't show up. I began to feel so paranoid, then I called myself to order before it affects her too.Since I saw her, I have been planting date scenarios in my head hoping that she would like it. A picnic date? A movie date? A fancy dinner? I didn't know what she liked because I had never planned a date for Trisha before, and I obviously didn't know what she would like. I began to panic because I needed it to turn out fine.Soon, one week became two weeks and I started beating myself up. Why didn't I get her number instead? I would have known where she was staying by now. I fucked up. Every call that came to my phone, I would be super excited just in case
