Dalia’s POV.“Emily come on.. do this for me,” I whined in frustration. Why isn’t she grabbing this opportunity to take a picture with the West grand kids?“Dalia no. I don’t do kids remember? I am only making an exception of yours.” She snapped.I giggled, recalling when she made a fuss to be called Aunty Em. Then I’ll need to persuade her more. “Look, I am not talking about any other. Want to know about them? They rule the teens world. You can actually use him.”There was a pregnant pause. “What do I stand to gain? And how did you even come to this agreement?”I yawned loudly. Yeah, my night wasn’t well spent. “It’s a long story. I came out for ice cream and six kids followed me. At least I have a little knowledge about the family. Now I can defend myself better. I think they are just victims of emotional abuse. Especially Eros.”“If he doesn’t tell you anything, don’t act like you know.” Emily warned gently. I could hear worry in her voice. “Playing the pa

Dalia’s POVYesterday’s night.I smiled warmly at the children who huddled closer just to hear my story. They were innocent, so innocent. I blame their parents for letting them in on their abused emotions.However they tried to hide it, it gave way into the lives of the children, hence turning them into something unbearable. I can’t say if they were pretending to like me but one thing I know for sure is that they all need help.I gave a playful glare to Freda who thought it was best to drop the scoop on the rug. It might leave a stain.“How many times have you been here?” I asked the triplets. They shrugged and Avery spoke for the group. He gave a toothy grin.“Almost no time. Grandparents hardly visit us so we come here whenever there is a family meeting. It’s kind of a big deal so we hardly miss it.”I hummed in thoughts. Then I waved what I was thinking away. I don’t think He tor and Gaia hate their grandkids. If there is one thing I’ve noticed about t

Third person’s povPresently...Dalia glanced at the wall clock for the fifth time. Where is everybody? She wondered why today was just like any other day.“I am the wife of a billionaire..” I flailed her legs to come out of the bedsheet entanglement. “Yet, I am..” I was about to continue in anger when a loud knock stopped her. I paused to hear if it was someone she knew.Was it Dad?“Dalia! Open this door! How can you sleep in on your wedding day!!”My eyes widened as she heard Emily’s voice. She must be so busy... “I am coming,”I rush to the front door, yanking it open. There I found Emily with an angry look. She was putting on a shirt and jean shorts. Swede slippers adorned her feet. I could see that she had newly painted her hands and legs. Her hair looked new. I sighed. “Emily? I thought we agreed..”Emily heaved. “How can a bride sleep in on her wedding.. have you forgotten our plans?! You were supposed to come out. Eros sent three vehicles to

Dalia’s POV.“Are you okay?” The makeup artist asked after putting something heavy on my eyelids.I blinked hard to test it. “It’s kind of heavy. Remove it..”She immediately complied. The phone beside me beeped and vibrated. “Can you give me that?” I asked the woman and she handed the phone to me. I scrolled down my notification message. It was something from Instagram.Emily has managed to download this crazy app on my phone even when I told her not to. I clicked on the swirling pink app. Out of curiosity, I clicked to watch reels. Every video was from that night. Emily narrowed it down to me.. huh? I frowned at the comments. It was the usual.“She isn’t worth it Eros! I love you! @bestfan“Where did she come from, a wise gold digger...@wisdomwhore”“I am sure that baby isn’t Eros’”“I am pregnant for you, Eros!”The comments were endless.“I don’t think you should be looking at that on your wedding day,” The woman kindly beamed at me.

Dalia’s POV.“Emily, what was that?” I asked while darting my eyes here and there. I will soon be whisked away by Eros. We were going to the West family mansion before going home. Three years top. That is if we don’t get fed up with each other and drop the act in 6 months. “You practically zoned out during your speech. What is it? Does Hera have something on you?”She shrugged. “She has nothing against me. I just needed her help with something and got something else instead.” Then she leaned closer and I suspected she was about to tell me a big secret. From my angle, I could see my father discussing with Eros. Half of me was rather dying to hear what they have been discussing for a long time than to listen to Emily’s big secret. “I think Hera West is going to help me get my revenge on Vanessa Dave,”Oh... that was the big secret?She pulled away, sighing when she saw my quizzical look. “I know I sound crazy right now. Even Chris doesn’t want me to go after her. Heaven is trying to sto
