Tiana's POV

The door to our bedroom creaked annoyingly as I opened it slowly, sneaking out of the room so that Seth wouldn't catch me.

My heart drummed frantically against my ribs, and my palms were slick with sweat as I started to shut the door.

"Tiana? Is that you?" I froze, my hand hovered over the door handle when I heard Seth's voice from the bathroom.

"Uhm, yes." I responded in a shaky voice.

He came out of the bathroom, drying his hair with a towel in his hand. He looked exhausted bu

  • The CEO's Forbidden Desire    Epilogue

    Tiana’s POVSix months had passed since Leo was kidnapped by Madison. He had recovered fully from his heart condition and was getting ready to start school.Caleb got treated by one of Seth's doctors, he went back to Oakville after recovering from the gunshot wound. Seth made sure his flower shop became one of the most successful ones in the city as a thank you gift for saving my life and helping Leo when he was abducted. Seth and I got married four months ago as he couldn't wait for me to be his completely after wearing his ring. It was a small, private wedding held in the garden at the back of our house.Our lives had been filled with happy moments since then, but something was still on my mind and I needed to let go of it. "Are you sure about this, baby?" Seth's deep voice slipped into my thoughts as he stopped the car, his eyes searching mine. He placed a protective hand on my protruding belly, his thumb stroking the silk of my dress gently."Yes, I'm sure. I will be right back.

My heart drummed frantically against my ribs, and my palms were slick with sweat as I started to shut the door. "Tiana? Is that you?" I froze, my hand hovered over the door handle when I heard Seth's voice from the bathroom. "Uhm, yes." I responded in a shaky voice. He came out of the bathroom, drying his hair with a towel in his hand. He looked exhausted but was trying his best to conceal it. Neither of us had been able to sleep through the night. He dropped the towel on the dresser and started to walk towards me with a sad look on his face. "My investigator will give us an update soon, I have a strong feeling he is going to find out where she is hiding." "That's good, but uhm... I can't seem to breathe in here. I think I should go for a walk." I lied, my voice cracking a bit.His brows raised a bit, his dark eyes scanning my face with an intens

    Tiana’s POVThe world had become a series of blurred faces and static noise in a couple of hours. I was sitting on the edge of the velvet couch in Seth’s parents' living room with an arm wrapped around myself, but I couldn't feel anything around me. I couldn't feel the warmth of the tea Seth’s mother had pressed into my hand some minutes ago, I hadn't even taken a sip out of it. How could I, when my son was with that wicked woman. He was still recovering and shouldn't be going through all this, I just hope Madison would have the decency not to hurt him. The house was crawling with people. The police drifted past the windows, asking the maids and the security guards questions. Tech experts were hunched over laptops, rewatching every second of the security footage.A pair of warm hands settled on my knees. Seth knelt in front of me, he looked equally worried but I knew he was trying to be strong for me. He took the mug of tea from my hand, his eyes softening as he looked up at me. "W

    Seth’s POVI stood at the bottom of the grand staircase in the foyer, checking my watch for the tenth time tonight. We weren't late, I was just nervous. My parents would finally be meeting Tiana and Leo tonight and they were really excited about it. So, no, I wasn't worried things wouldn't go well, I was nervous for other reasons. My heart thudded with an uneven rhythm against my ribs when I heard the click of heels on the tiled floor above. I looked up, and breath was punched right out of my lungs. This woman would be the death of me. I sucked in breath as Tiana descended the stairs in the emerald silk gown I’d had Nikki source from Milan. It hugged every curve of her body perfectly, the deep green colour made her skin look like cream and her eyes sparkled as she smiled at me. She looked like a queen. My queen."You’re staring, Seth." She giggled, as she reached the bottom step with a shy smile."You look breathtaking, Tia. So beautiful." I breathed, taking her hand and kissing t

    Tiana's POV"Don't talk about my son that way, he is not a thing." I hissed, fisting my palm into a ball and holding myself back from punching her in the face. I wouldn't allow anyone to talk to Leo that way, especially not the person who almost made me lose him. "So what? What are you going to do to me? Uh? And wait, are you back to use him to force your way back into Seth's life? You really have no shame-"Before she could finish spewing out the trash she was saying, I raised my hand and smacked her across her face.She gasped in shock as her head tilted to the side, the men behind her moved to grab me but she raised her hand to stop them. "I can handle her on my own." I was grateful the mall wasn't busy today. I wouldn't be happy if the video of my sister and I fighting was all over the internet a day before meeting Seth's parents. That would be a total disappointment. Madison cast a glare at Leo before looking at me. "This isn't over, Tiana. You just declared war by coming bac

    Tiana’s POVI woke up in a recliner, my body aching with a fatigue that went down to my bones. I blinked, my gaze immediately darting to the center of the room.Leo was still on the bed. He looked peaceful, his small chest rising and falling in perfect sync with the steady beep of the new monitors.The surgery had been a success and I couldn't be more grateful. The tiny pacemaker was already doing the work his heart couldn't manage on its own. The specialist said he will soon be awake and will be discharged when his vitals are stable. "He’s okay now, Tia." I turned my head towards the voice and saw Seth standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, giving me a small, reassuring smile. He looked exhausted, even more than I was. He offered to look over Leo through the night while I slept. I didn't know what I would have done if he hadn't arranged a specialist for Leo. I would have gone crazy at the hospital back at Oakville. "I'm just really glad that it hasn't gone beyond that stage." S

    Tiana's POVSeth and I had been maintaining our professional relationship quite fine. On my part, I had taken my job as his assistant seriously, I still spoke to him but only about work related issues. On Seth's part, it seemed he had been struggling to maintain it, or maybe it was just me that th

    Tiana's POV"What!" Maddie exclaimed. "Yeah, he is always around her like some sort of shield. I really hate that man." Maddie chuckled, "Tiana would never do such a thing. She's too much of a two goody shoes to be sleeping with my fiancé. And I'm sure Seth is just protecting her because he is he

    Tiana's POVI placed Seth's hot mug of espresso on my desk and was about to sit when I heard his footsteps approaching. I arrived a little bit late to work today because I was too preoccupied with my thoughts after speaking with Maddie but I was glad I came in before Seth. If I had met him at the

I had been pacing the living room anxiously because any moment from now, Seth would be walking into where I lived. If things were under a different circumstance, heaven knew the things we would do before he
