....................Kira's pov...................The bright sun reflected on my face and I quickly shaded it with my hand...Gosh! Can't believe it's morning already...I opened my eyes and looked around the empty bed. There was no sign of Adam...I hissed making efforts to climb off the bed without hurting my joints....My tummy was so big and all I could think of at the moment was having breakfast.I tried to control the intense hunger urge I feel most times but the cravings are too much to handle.I passed my sore feet into my flip flops and gasped noticing the slippers hugged them more tighter around the sides.My feet are expanding!!...I cringed and set myself to stand firm.Where the heck is Adam???I sauntered out of the room walking so slow like that of a snail.The kitchen was occupied and I stared in disbelief as two ladies worked on by the gas cooker.Whaaat?Where the h'll are they coming from? Could it be Adam hired them??"Good morning ma'am" They both greeted simultan
..........Adam’s pov..........I drove down the road steadily with Kira who was licking some ice cream and biting on some chips.We were still on our way to the shopping mall and she’s already buying everything edible.“Do you know who’s Brandon’s favorite musician or TV character?” I asked with my eyes fixed on the road.“Yeah…He’s head over heels in love with the Korean pop artist Rex” she replied munching on the potato chips on her thighs.“What about a cartoon character?” I further asked feeling a bit tipsy.Kira laughed and I stared at her completely lost.“Is the chips driving you crazy?”She shook her head suppressing the laughter.“C’mon babe. You should know Brandon doesn’t watch cartoons” She stated and I rolled my eyes.“Really?” I asked besumed.“Yeah…he prefers life movies and zombie apocalypse to those animated stuff. That’s why he always thinks he’s a ninja -, Jackie Chan series”.“Wow. I was thinking of throwing him a mickey mouse clubhouse party or those…childish cart
......Kira's pov........My eyes dimmed as Brandon looked at us. The look on his face was different and...cold.I've never seen him look this mean. Fear gripped me as he took a step a bit far from the edge of the building.Hew!We're making progress."I'm a very friendly person...believe me when I say I was a very magnanimous fellow. I had friends irrespective of their background and lifestyle."I met your mom later on and she was one of a kind. It didn't take long and we fell in love - I loved her. But then I had no idea she was after my wealth."She duped me and I almost lost everything because of her. I was so depressed and frustrated."And then the moment I had her captured and ready to destroy her, she professed that she was pregnant with my child.She died after giving birth to you and I became the most saddest man alive."I was willing to forgive her and marry her ignoring the fact that she ruined me countless times; both emotionally and financially but she made me feel worse a
.................Kira's pov .................."No!...stop!!" I rasped as the guards removed the ropes that they'd used in tying me up.I fought so hard with them."Am not leaving my son!!!" I cried as they succeeded in pulling me up.I couldn't take my eyes off Brandon. He kept his gaze away from me and I could tell he was shattered................Jade's pov.............I slammed my hands on the desk anger surging through me.That man...Ugh!Why does he always ruin my plans??He saved Kira...but...how's that possible?Can't he think of his son??Does this mean his hate for Brandon is much more deeper than I thought?F"ck!!What am I going to do with a four years old now??I wanted Kira, I had plans for her.I need to think of something. How do I use Brandon to get Kira???...............Kira's pov..........."No! Let me go!!!" I yelled as Adam dragged me into the house.I couldn't stop crying for Brandon. He's innocent and doesn't deserve to be kept hostage by that crazy woman.I
............. Kira's pov...............I didn't say anything just yet as I waited for whoever was on the other line to speak."Good morning ma'am" The feminine voice started and I became more curious cause it sounded familiar."Am Mrs Brown - Brandon's school teacher. I believe am speaking to Mrs Kira...his step mom" She said quizically and I sighed rubbing my forehead."Yes, I am" I replied displeasingly.I admit it hurts to be regarded as a step mom.Gosh!Teachers can be annoying!"Is anything wrong?" I further asked leaning back on the chair."Actually yes...Brandon is not feeling so well and I suggest you should get here as fast as you can" She said dropping a grenade at the depth of my heart.I sprang up on my feet.No!...Not again!What could be wrong with him now??"Am on my way there!" I chided and rushed out of the living room.Immediately I got outside, I alerted the driver and we raced into the car.I felt nervous and my fingers shook vigorously as I dialed Adam's number
Three months later ^ ............Kira's pov............ I rolled and rolled on the bed until I felt Adam's side - sweet natural fragrance and manly. I sat up on the bed and opened my eyes after rubbing them for what felt like forever. As expected, Adam wasn't in the room and I'm curled up in silence under the lukewarm duvet. I felt my barely baby bump and I'm left smiling broadly. Three months gone carrying my little unborn child. I can't wait to face motherhood. What am I saying?? I've already achieved that. Brandon. The operation was done before the wedding and he's all well now - for now. We're still looking out for any side effect that came with the drugs given to him during the operation. The shriek noise of the door opening dragged me back from the brink of wild thoughts. He walked in a green towel that had my name stitched on it...sophisticatedly. He was wet and seemed to have stepped out from the bathroom not long ago. He was quiet as he came to the bed. "Don't
