Tiana's POV

I stomped into the suite, pacing to and fro the sitting room, my fingers flexed before balling into a fist. I finally stopped pacing and sat on the couch, burying my face between my palms as I stared down at the floor.

It was him who mentioned that the staff would immediately alert his father if they found anything suspicious, now look at him, eating with another woman, laughing, flirting and getting all touchy with her.

Wait, was I jealous? Or was I just mad that he abandoned me for so long to be with someone else? Argh! That was the same thing.

No, I shouldn't be mad, I shouldn't be jealous. He wasn't even mine. He never was. He was free to do whatever he wanted to do with other women as long as my life returned back to normal after this shitty two weeks honeymoon, I was okay with it.

I didn't know for how long I sat there but when I stood up and started to head to the bedroom, Seth walked into the suite. I turned to him, making sure not to show any sign of anger. He lo

    Tiana’s POVI wiped my hands on my apron, frowning as I walked out of the store room to meet Asher toward the front of the shop. "Why do you keep yelling my name?" I asked her, placing my hands on my hip. She laughed as she wrote something on a card and placed it on a bouquet of flowers she had already prepared. "Don't worry, I already got it under control." I rolled my eyes at her and looked towards the counter, Caleb was standing there but he was staring outside the glass window and there was a bit of a frown on his face. I turned to see what he was staring at and saw the back view of a tall man in black suit stepping into a sleek, black SUV.My heart skipped a beat as I watched him reach out to close the door. I rushed toward the window to get a closer look at him but the engine roared to life and the car sped off. I didn't see the man's face or even get a good look at his side profile, but something felt oddly familiar about him. I walked back to the counter where Caleb was n

    Seth’s POVThe engines of the private jet hummed softly as we began our descent into Toronto. My assistant, Nikki, was already knee deep in her briefing, her tablet glowing in the dim cabin light."Our schedule is tight, Mr. Berkley." She said, not looking up from her tab. "Once we land, we’re heading straight to Oakville. I already rented a car and booked a hotel for us. The meeting with the owners of the park is set for tomorrow morning. They’re eager to sell the park to us knowing how big the Berkley Empire is."I leaned my head back against the leather headrest, closing my eyes. "That's good, Nikki. Make sure the contracts are ready." I wanted to sign the contracts and leave this place as soon as possible so I could continue my search for Tiana. Expanding the Berkley Empire to Canada would be a good thing for our business, I was taking it to the next level. I had left Nikki in charge of the location and she impressed me again. An hour later, we were driving down one of Oakville’

    Tiana’s POVIt had been a week since Caleb and I's first date, he asked me to be his girlfriend during our second date and I said yes to him. He was really excited that everyone could tell at the flower shop the next day. I had an afternoon shift today, so after taking Leo to his child care, I busied myself wrapping up colourful gifts for his birthday that was in a few days. I wanted everything to be perfect so I had to start the preparations early. Caleb would be taking me to the caterer for food tasting before my shift this afternoon and I was really looking forward to it. "Looks like you started without me, Babe." I heard a voice called out from the doorway.I looked up, a roll of tape between my teeth, to see Caleb standing there. He had been calling me babe since we got together but I hadn't been able to call him a pet name yet. He was holding a kid's bicycle in his hands, he closed the door and walked towards me in the living room. "What is this?" I stared at the blue colour

    Tiana’s POVI laughed at Caleb's joke as he pulled his car to a stop in front of my house. Caleb was fun and easy to be with, he has succeeded in making me laugh so many times this evening. "I’m telling you, the look on his face was priceless, how was I supposed to know he didn't recognise the flowers he ordered." Caleb said, his eyes crinkling at the sides as he got down from the car.I laughed, feeling a genuine warmth in my chest as he walked over to my side and opened the car door for me. "Thank you." I told him, holding his hand as I got down. Caleb walked me to my front door, still holding my hand. When we reached the door, he turned to me, his expression softening into something more vulnerable."I had a really nice time tonight, Caleb." I told him, my voice soft. "Thank you for taking me out.""It is me who should be saying thank you," he replied, his voice full of sincerity. "For finally giving me a chance. I know you’ve been hesitant, and it means a lot that you trust me.

    Seth’s POVI didn't look at my assistant, Nikki, as she spoke about the time I was to deliver my speech at the opening event of my new hotel. She went on and on but it didn't interest me, not that anything ever interested me anymore since Tiana left.I missed her more than I could ever express in words. I almost went crazy when the private investigator I hired got no lead on her after months of searching. It was as if she disappeared into thin air and was erased from the surface of the earth. I hadn't given up on her, I knew one day I would find her. "The event is at its capacity." Nikki continued, unfazed by my silence, she was used to it by now. "Everyone is waiting for the announcement of expansion of our empire into other countries. This will be the best time to say it, I'm sure our investors will be elated by the news.” Nikki was fifteen years older than I was and really good at her job, better than Carol and Tiana. She used to be one of my father's employees before she came to

    Tiana's POVThe next morning, I was trying to balance Leo on my hip after feeding him while I took some vegetables and fruits out of the fridge, my hair still damp from a rushed shower. I had woken up late all because I stayed up thinking about the things Elina and I discussed. "Mommy, I want my blue car!" Leo insisted, squirming in my arm as he pointed toward the toy box in the living room."In a minute, baby. We still have to get you dressed for daycare." I told him, but he continued to tap me and point towards his toys. The life of a single mother was exhausting, not that I was complaining. Elina asked me to get a nanny for Leo but I didn't want to. I wanted to take care of my baby by myself and enjoy every minute I had with him.Just as I popped a strawberry into my mouth and also gave Leo one, I heard the doorbell ring. I wasn't expecting anyone and Elina didn't usually come in the morning. I adjusted Leo and walked to the door, pulling it open, my eyes widened when I saw Cale
