Dalia’s POVI gesture to the chair across the dining table. “Thank you for coming.” I am indeed grateful Dimitri decided to come. After all he is tasked to protect me from any physical harm. Who knew what Eros was thinking while he hiring this gentle giant.Dimitri nods, taking his seat and urging me to get to the point. I have managed to ask Stephanie to take my dad for a walk. Getting him a wheelchair and forcing him to sit on it wasn’t easy but I eventually got it for him and pleaded for him to breath in fresh air. He doesn’t need to hear my conversation and Stephanie don’t have to eavesdrop. I can take care of myself. Although I do feel a little bit uncomfortable as my belly and legs increases in size everyday, I know I can do this little by writing.“I asked you to come here because I need your help. I need to know what is going on in West wing.” My notebook and pen was already placed in front of me.Dimitri nods. He seems to know why I am asking already. “You n

Dalia’s POV.“Is that him?” I point to the man on tee-shirt and grey flannel trousers. He’s like how Emily described- tall, broad shoulders and bulging stomach. Since yesterday ‘s incident, I decided to pay more attention to my friend. She was there for me when I felt lost and scared.We are both wearing matching outfits of spies, squatting behind Emily’s car. It was sleek, blue and didn’t blend well with other cars at the parking lot. Bluetanic.. For some reason, Emily choose not to stay in the car. And I tagged along.I stare at Emily from the corner of my eyes discreetly, amused by our spy outfit- she picked them of course! Few hours earlier, she emphasized on how important outfit were during this expenditure. After much trashing and ruffling, she settled for a black one piece latex jumpsuit, Red bandana wrapped around her head, the biggest sunglasses I’ve ever seen to hide her puffy eyes and blazing red lips gloss smeared over her thin lips. She should have weapons for ear rings,

Emily’s POVMy plan was to rip Vanessa’s fake hair out but I can’t now...“Emily, Wait!” I hear Dalia call faintly behind me. She must be so stressed out, following me out here. Well, for the things I’ve done for her, she can do this much for me.Facing Eros West now and it took everything in me not to lash out at him. He looks.. wasted? I guess the problem Dalia told me about must be affecting him a lot. Just what is he putting on?! This isn’t the Eros West who asked me for a favour. Dalia should be around here somewhere...“What are you doing here?” He asks, eying my outfit up and down.I roll my eyes. “I should be asking you the same thing. Why do you always leave your nose in my business?”Eros snorts, which was a side I’ve never seen. Has he shown this side to Dalia? It only infuriates me. “That’s rich coming from you.”I fold my hands in disbelief. “Let me guess, you are here to complete what you started. You are ruining my career by intervening. Do

Eros’ POVI feel sorry for Emily. It wasn’t supposed to go this way...“You need to stop drinking, Eros.” Vanessa Dave warns collecting my glass of wine.I roll my eyes. I hate for her to see this side of me but since she has been so adamant, signing the visitor’s form just to see me,- all which had been rejected, she better get used to it. “Tell me, why Emily Newton?”Vanessa shakes her head in mockery. “Emily Newton? She nearly ruined my reputation, so I nearly ruined her career in acting. She has no business here.”A song played softly in the background, relaxing my mind a bit. It was her idea to visit the university cafe. I didn’t know universities had cafe like this.. their snacks tasted like heaven and their wine is to die for. Though it was a special order on my part. It was immediately granted by the pastry chef. She was excited to deliver my order and even asked for an autograph. Others didn’t get a chance to because they were served coffee and it was on the house.“OMG! It’s

Eros’ POVI had to threaten her. The both of them behaved like sisters- Inseparable and their statements ends with their names in it.From my investigation, both of them grew up together and at first glance I thought they were just pretending to be friends or Dalia was friends with Emily for benefit but now I see that they are just bound by sisterly love.I shake my head as it seems like my brain wants me to remember something. The girl behind the truck!Who was she and why did she look so familiar? It just happened that Emily and the girl wore same outfits?It happens but what are the odds?Betty' PoVI feel like I am losing my mind. Where is Eros? He promised to be back home by six and it’s nine already. This is the third day at his house and I can’t help but think he is hiding something from me.I hear the front gates open and the familiar sound of Eros’ car reached my ears. I leap from the bed in excitement. It was rare seeing him at home and I don’t want to make the mistake of v

Dalia’s POV“Oh..” Was their reply and I am okay with it.Now, to the main purpose of why I brought them here.Betty’s PoV“Hi,” I flip my hair to the back gently. I managed to get Echo’s business number. She is the easiest to talk to among the West siblings. Starting with her first is the best choice. My only choice.“Betty?” She shrieks on the other side just in time for me to drop my humility act.“Hey, girl! Didn’t think you’d recognise my voice!” I smile, excited at her ability to remember after many years.“You tell me...” She chuckles, after which she cleared her throat. “I know you have a reason for calling so let’s not deceive each other. What’s it?”Now that’s the Echo I remember. She was our playmate when we were younger. One day she chose not to associate herself with I and Eros. Although we were understanding but it didn’t make the pain any less.I was hurt and got over it after many years.“Fine! You got me.” I bit my inner cheek

Dalia’s POV“You did it, Dalia!” Emily screamed from the other side of the phone.Yay! I did it... I muttered dryly.“Are you there?” Emily asked after a while. I must have been quiet for too long.“Yeah, yeah. I am happy.”“I know what you are thinking and don’t you dare let it. You’ve done your duty... Let it go.”Is it really my duty? “But,”She didn’t let me finish. “At first I was sceptical about this. Then I noticed you were enjoying yourself. It made you happy and trust me I haven’t seen you as happy as this in a long time. You exceeded our expectations and now the show can go on, don’t think you did it for Eros. You did it for yourself... Even so, I can plan your wedding without any drama!” she adds with a squeal.Well, that was a long speech..“Alright. Enough of the motivation. I guess, I won’t take the credit,” I chuckled bitterly. No one will remember me and I am sure Eros will never know it was me behind the ratings.“But I know.

Third person’s POVDalia was about to retire for the night when she heard a loud humming sound which can only come from a vehicle.The time was 9:34pm.She wasn’t expecting anyone. Gently, Dalia removed the sheets covering her torso and made her way to the sitting room. Not many know of her whereabouts.“Dalia?” Mr. Thompson croaked from the other side of the room.“Go to sleep papa, I am thirsty.”“Okay. Good night dear,”“Good night.” Dalia said, walking towards the kitchen. From the kitchen windows, she could get a better look at who disturbed her sleep. She didn’t want what happened the last time to happen again and with that, she picked a butcher’s knife from the rack.They wouldn’t mess with her this time around.Hearing footsteps, she positioned the knife close to her chest, taking her place behind the front door.Suddenly, a knock was heard.“Who is it?” Dalia whispered carefully.“Dalia, I know it’s you so open the door!” Eros

Dalia’s POV“Ya boy’s so fine..” Nurse Alysha cooed at the pictures of my baby given to me. It is a boy, so the scan says. Emily won the Aunty Em lottery a long time ago. I just didn’t see the need to tell her and for a moment, I wondered why I didn’t tell anyone I know too. Not even Emily. I guess I was too caught up in the circumstances surrounding his coming to my life.I raise my head up. “Nurse, can you keep this in my bag?” I hand her the photos but she looks at me weirdly before collecting them.“I can see some tears in ya eyes. Hope you feeling well?” she asked with a frown in her face. I could only see her mouth moving all over the place due to her southern accent but I couldn’t hear her.“What?” I raise an eyebrow at her stance. She was standing akimbo. Oh,“You aren't feeling well. I’ma call Dr. Ryan. Be right back.” She was about to leave.Uh..? no. I pulled her back. “Nurse Aly? No, there’s no need. I heard what you said the first time. He is so fine, I don’t know who he’

Eros’ POVThe door opened and before I could scold the person, a file was dropped in front of me. I frown before turning to the person who dropped it.Of course, Isaiah. What again?“Everything you need to know about the ghost tech man. Real name, Nick Newton and guess what? He is an only child but has a direct cousin. Emily Newton...”I wave my hands for him to shut up. “I know.”His eyes widened as he spluttered. “You know? And why didn’t you do anything about it?”With my siblings on my heels and my company ablaze? No. I had to set my priorities straight and saving my company first seemed like the most reasonable thing to do before looking for the perpetrator.Now I have time to settle this before the visit with family. I already sent a message to all of them. It isn’t going to be that simple.“Relax, Isaiah.” I say, trying to calm the young man who felt he cared about finding the perpetrator more than I do. I raise an eyebrow as I see the picture of a man walking out of a hotel fr
