Tiana's POV

I 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 th

    Tiana’s POVI held onto the kitchen counter for support as Elina's words rang in my ears. My hands trembled and my grip over the phone loosened. Seth, sensing what was happening, quickly stood beside me, holding me steady with a hand before reaching for the phone with the other. He put the phone on speaker and placed it on the counter. "What's happening, Elina?" He asked, frowning down at the phone. There was a pause before she responded. "It's Leo, we rushed him to the hospital. You both have to come right now." "We are on our way." He hung up and placed my phone back into my purse. "I have to go to the hospital. I need to know what happened to my baby. Seth, I have to go and see him right now." I broke down into tears, running towards the front door."Wait." Seth called out, holding my arm to stop me. "I'll go with you, I just need to get something to wear." He went into his room and in a minute, he came out with a shirt on. There was no time to appreciate how the cloth looked

    Tiana’s POVSeth was sitting on the bench of a rowing machine in his half naked glory. His back turned to me and the sight was so overwhelming that I had to grip the doorframe tightly to keep me from collapsing. Every time he pulled the weighted handle toward his chest, the muscles of his shoulders bunched and rippled beneath his skin. He was dripping in sweat, his skin glistening under the light. The machine stopped mid-motion as he lowered them in a slow and controlled manner. I watched the way his muscles moved at the action. My throat suddenly felt dry and I felt like a virgin seeing a naked man for the first time. He picked up a towel from the bench by his side and wiped the sweat off his body. Slowly, he stood up, turned around and looked up. He went still, his eyes widening as he sighted me by the door. His mouth opened and then closed with no words, he placed the towel around his shoulder and started to walk towards me. Every cell in my body was on fire as his eyes racke

    Tiana's POVThe drive to my house was a really long one. I looked out the window as I thought of what to do when we reached my house. Something needed to be done, Caleb and I couldn't continue like this.He reached out to hold my hand in his, I wanted to pull away but he tightened his hold on my hand so I wouldn't be able to."Caleb..." I called out, just as he packed in front of my house. I swallowed hard as I unfastened my seatbelt and turned in my seat to face him."Caleb, we need to talk." I said in a low voice. He pulled his hand away, brushing his fingers through his hair before releasing a harsh breath. "I know." He responded, tapping his fingers on the steering wheel repeatedly. I swallowed again, not knowing where to start from but I knew I needed to say something. "Caleb, I... W- we, umm, I think we should end this." I muttered, shutting my eyes tightly so I wouldn't see his reaction. When I didn't hear him say anything after a few minutes, I popped my eyes open and saw t

    Tiana's POVIt has been a week, a long ass week since I last saw Seth. I found myself staring out of my window and looking towards his house whenever I was going out, hoping to see him but he wasn't there. I would be lying if I said I wasn't worried about him, I had been worried all week because knowing Seth, he would have come over to my house every single day just to see Leo and I.I couldn't help but wonder if he was mad about what transpired when I went to his house. Was he giving me some space because of that or he had finally gone back to New York. But no, he wouldn't go back without letting me know. "Is everything okay? You've been spacing out a lot since we got here." Caleb's voice brought me back to the present. My gaze snapped to him and that was when I realised he had been talking to me but I had been staring into space since. "Sorry about that. It's just... nothing actually." I answered him, forcing a smile as I sipped from my glass of wine. Caleb and I were currently

    Tiana's POVI couldn't sit still after I returned home, I kept pacing the living room and thinking about what happened back at Seth's house. He knew I lied about being in love with Caleb. Of course, he knew. Seth always knew when I was lying. Now, he certainly knew there was still a chance for him. But no, that wasn't going to happen. I might have been getting some feelings since he returned but that didn't mean that I still liked him, I was over him. And besides, it wasn't possible to like two men at the same time. I walked to the fridge and brought out a bottle of water, drinking half of the water before putting it back into the fridge. I wiped my mouth clean and was about to go into my room to undress when I heard the doorbell ring. Thinking that it was Elina, I strode to the door and pulled it opened, only to meet with a massive bouquet of lilies and Caleb’s tired eyes.I felt a slight tug in my chest at how remorseful he looked, maybe I was too hard on him yesterday. "Hi.""H

    Tiana’s POVMy chest felt a little heavy as I got ready to go to Seth's house the next day. I had texted Seth to let him know we would be coming over in the afternoon for lunch. I didn't know what was going to happen when I got there, but I had this feeling it wasn't going to be just a house warming party. After Elina and I discussed last night, we devised a plan that would help me figure out how to get myself out of the mess I was in before it turned weird.I checked my phone to see Elina's text. She was asking if I had already gone over to his place. I quickly typed back a reply to her. Me- Just about to go. Elina- Don't forget what we talked about. I have a feeling it will be Seth though. Me- Whose side are you on? Caleb or Seth? Elina- Seth, of course. You know I've been on his side right from when we met. Me- Traitor. I thought you liked Caleb.Elina- Yeah, only because you said you were over Seth but now it seems you are not. Me- I'm over him, I'm just a little confused.

    Tiana's POVI ate the last slice of my pizza and drank the content of the overpriced small bottle of water I bought at the hotel minibar earlier. I had been in my suite all day, searching for a new apartment non-stop. I wanted to move out of this hotel before the weekend was over but the ones I wa

    Seth's POVI walked back into my office and shut the door behind me. I needed to take care of the mess I created with Madison before doing anything with Tiana. Christ, I missed that woman and I was going crazy because of her. I hated that she wouldn't say anything or even listen to anything I had

It kept playing on my mind like a horror movie I couldn't switch off.I knew I shouldn't be so angry becau
