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 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,
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
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
Every girl has this dream for 'him' to pop the right question after a long, tough and loyal relationship. But my case was different. I was going to propose to him. It's always a thing for 'him' to propose first but I wanted mine to be different. He has waited a long time to pop the question and I didn't want to waste anymore time. I used all my savings just to make this day special, I just hope he likes it. I also wrote down a speech, memorizes it and made it part of me. With all the flowers, ring, cards and I all the 10 years photo memories, I hopped through the elevator and through the hall way to his office.My excitement was cut short as I opened the door to Michael's office and caught my 'boyfriend' with his assistant making intense love to each other. My jaw dropped, my eyes sunk and my heart flood with tears. 10 years of relationship and commitments flash through my face and I saw all the gifts I brought drop on the floor. All the words I planned and rehearsed for the 'big
We pulled at 'BerelyJewelry Mall', a very expensive and most famous jewelry mall in the country. To come to a place like this I would have to sell all my expensive bags and shoes to come here."Get out." He commanded looking sternly at my from the front mirror. His voice startled me off my seat and I rubbed my wet palm on my pencil skirt. I struggle to hold handle of the car door as it slips through my wet palms anytime I try to grab it. I need to breathe, I felt like I was being choked with a rope round my neck. I grabbed the door handle firmly and quickly got out of the car trembling and letting my bag fall on the floor. My wet hands were cold and my knees touched. I took in fresh air.The whole scene of putting the ring on his finger flash through my face again. I then realized once more that I actually proposed to him, I am supposed to be confident instead of fear him. I don't even know him anyways and I don't want him to perceive me as weak.I adjusted my pencil skirt, dusted
"You no longer work here Trisha May." Mrs Evans, the director of the Financial department stated again, making it clear once more to me.How will I skip a day just to propose to my boyfriend and I get fired the next day? Is it a crime to propose?All my hopes to pay back Mr. Arrogant's money has been shattered. Where will I get money from to start all over? I put my hand on my forehead trying to process everything. It still doesn't add up."Please ma, I will do anything you tell me to do from now on, I won't hesitate. Please just let me keep my job." I pleaded again and again." Fine, write your pleas and send it the higher ups, not me." Mrs Evans said seeing that I have begged he enough." Yes ma, I will do it right away." I quickly went up to my office with joy while whispering prayers that they accept me back. I am still clueless about everything tho but I don't want to ask any further questions before I loose my job. "Hey girl, I heard you were fired." Stacey whispered through th
The Kingston Mansion, the most dreadful place in history. I have heard of a lot of rumors happening in the Mansion everyday. The land mass is not compared to that of the Yankee Stadium. Within the Kingston land mass, are three other large mansions but the Kingston Mansion standing in the middle of them all is the largest.Majorly every part of the Kingston Mansion is built with glass that is not transparent.The cool evening air in the atmosphere was so refreshing and I had to take it all in. I stood at the extremely tall white wooden door in front of me looking at my wrist watch and waiting for the time to reach exactly 5:00 before I ring the door bell.5:00 p.m. and I rang the door bell. Immediately, the door swung open and a man dressed in black and white tuxedo with his hair waxed backward stood and bowed."Right this way ma'am." He said sliding his hand to the right for directions.My eyes gushed over all the wonders that the mansion endowed. My eyes sparkle to the bright light

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
