Tiana's POV

Seth and I finally made it to the tenth floor without tearing our clothes off each other's bodies. After making me feel so hot, he immediately kept his hand to himself and climbed the stairs like nothing happened.

Turns out Theo didn't even reach the tenth floor before leaving the company. If he was serious about getting back together with me, he wasn't going to get anywhere with it. I would never date a man like him again.

I was about to go for lunch when my landline rang, I frowned, wondering what Seth would want me to do for him at lunchtime.

"Hello?" I said as I pressed the receiver to my ear.

"Have lunch with me."

My breath hitched in my throat at the request. I had been ordering food and eating in my cubicle since I started working as his assistant. He never really cared if I had eaten or not, I didn't get why he would want to eat with me today.

"Is there something you want to discuss with me?" I asked, keeping my voice calm and steady.

"No, I just want us to eat

    *Two Years and Some Months Later*Tiana's POVThe bell on the counter of the flower shop chimed, signaling the end of my shift. The scent of lilies and damp earth clung to my skin as I placed the last flower pot in my hands beside the rest. "That’s the last of the lilies, Ana." Caleb, the owner of the flower shop I worked at said to me, wiping his hands on his apron as he stepped toward me.I took off my apron and placed it in the storage room, fixing my bun before leaving the room to see Caleb waiting for me. He scratched his chin as he smiled at me shyly, "So, I was thinking... there’s a new Italian place on the streets after ours. Maybe you and I could grab a bite before you head home? My treat."I offered him a small apologetic smile as I grabbed my cardigan from the hook. "I’d love to, Caleb, really. But I have to get to Leo, you know how he gets when he wakes from his nap."There was a flicker of disappointment on Caleb’s face before his expression softened. "Of course. Leo co

    Tiana's POVI stared out of the small window of the private plane I was in, watching the lights of New York City fade into tiny specs before disappearing entirely beneath a blanket of clouds.I shut my eyes and leaned my head against the cool window and let the tears fall freely from my eyes. I didn't try to wipe them away. There was no one here to see my weakness. Madison had turned herself into a monster I didn't recognise and taken everything I loved. First, my baby, the man I loved, and then my twin sister, all because she wanted power.My baby.I clutched my stomach, my ribs constricting in my chest. Another wave of tears flowed from my eyes. I lost the only part of Seth I had left. I wondered how he would feel. He would definitely hate me, hate me for being a coward who ran when things became difficult, hate me for not even trying to fight for our love. Maybe I was a coward, I couldn't let him lose what he had spent half of his life building for a woman who had brought nothin

    Seth’s POVThe city lights blurred as I drove through the streets leading to Tiana's apartment. My knuckles were white against the leather of the steering wheel, and my heart was doing something it hadn't done in years, it was racing out of worry and fear. I had spent the last ten hours trapped in meetings upon meetings, I was glad to finally break free from that creep but I hadn't realised time had gone so fast. I hadn't checked in on Tiana since she left the office this morning. There was a probability that she was mad at me, I had been calling her but she had been refusing to pick up. I just hoped that nothing bad happened to her. I reached for my phone for the twentieth time, hitting the speed dial, it rang but there was no answer. I was regretting my actions. I shouldn't have let her go home alone. I should have cancelled the meeting. I should have carried her out of that office myself. What if Madison had gotten to her?"Pick up, Tia. Please, just pick up." I muttered under

    Tiana's POVI groaned as my eyes slowly peeled open. The first thing I smelled was antiseptic and disinfectant. The second thing I noticed was the white walls of the hospital room where I was. "You are awake." A voice said beside me, I turned my head slowly and saw a woman in a white lab coat so I figured she was a doctor. She checked my vitals, stating that I was now stable. "Tiana. Thank God you are awake." I heard another voice say. I saw Madison at the other side of my bed, looking at me with pity. Her mascara smeared beneath her eyes from crying. "What happened to me?" I asked her. The last thing I remembered was falling to the ground and feeling that sharp pain in my stomach.The doctor sighed before putting down her note. "You were five weeks pregnant, Ms. Palmer. Were you aware of this?" My breath hitched in my throat. My hand flew to my stomach, the sharp pain was gone but it still felt like something was going on there."Pre- pregnant? No, I didn't know." My lips tremble

    Tiana's POVMy stuff wasn't much, but Seth still sent his driver to help me with them. I was surprised when I got to my new apartment and saw that it was thoroughly furnished. There was nothing else I needed to buy. I couldn't be more grateful to Seth. I called him on the phone as I walked around the house, inspecting and grinning like a little kid. I slept with a huge smile on my face, totally forgetting about the scenario that happened today. The next morning, just like I expected, everyone kept staring at me. It was even more intense compared to the first time Theo caused a scene. There were whispers as I walked past them but I ignored them all. Just as I was about to enter the elevator, I saw Wren approaching, but she stopped as she saw me. I frowned as I watched her lips pull into a smirk, then she walked to the other elevator. What was that about? I didn't think much about it as I rode the elevator to the tenth floor. I prepared Seth's coffee and waited for his arrival whi

    Tiana's POVAs Seth and I got to his office, I shut the door behind us and faced him, my heart hammering against my ribs so hard it was painful."What were you thinking?" I whispered, my voice cracking. Seth didn't even look bothered. He walked toward me slowly. "I'm not just going to stand there and watch that creep put his hands on you.""But... But everyone saw that." I palmed my forehead and started to pace his office. "That doesn't matter." "It matters." I cut in, my eyes widened when I realised something else. "My gosh, Theo is going to tell her, he is going to tell Maddie." Seth frowned, stopping in his tracks. "Why would Theo care about what Madison thinks?" I stopped pacing and looked at him, realising that he didn't know yet. "Theo and Maddie are hooking up. I caught them last week, that was what Madison and I fought about." "What the hell? Were you ever going to tell me?" He asked, his eyes darkening. "Honestly, no. Not because I was scared of what Maddie would do bu
