Lahat ng Kabanata ng Her Dilemma: In Between Two Dons : Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

Novah's POV Standing in a position, I began to dart my eyes around, trying to recall what I was missing. “Novah, come with me.” Father called in a panicking voice and when I wouldn't go after him, he grabbed my hand and then pulled me out of the building. Now outside the building, I was standing a few meters away from it, staring at the flames that were rising into the sky as my heart rammed against my chest. “What am I missing?” This question kept ringing in my head only for a loud scream of distress to rent the air. “Bishop!” I yelled, my eyes widened in fright as I stared at my son who was behind the window in the burning house. “I will go pick him.” Father said, trying to stop me but I bolted past him and with the speed of lightning, I hurried inside the building. With each passing minute, the raving fire continued to howl out in distress as it ate everything that was on its way. “Bishop please hold on, mom is coming for you.” I yelled, jumping past bits of fire all in a b

Novah's POV With my heart inside my mouth, I made my way into the elevator, keeping an ample distance from him but that didn't stop me from casting him side glances at intervals. To ease the tension in the air, I ran after him immediately as the door slid open and with my hands folded in front of me, I said, “Thank you for saving my son last night.” Feigning not to hear what I had said, he continued his long strides which I tried to keep up with only for him to halt suddenly, causing me to fall on his hard back. Swirling in my direction, he said, “We have to be somewhere in thirty minutes.” “Where?” I gulped, cold chills running through my spines. “Be prepared.” He said through his teeth only to resume walking again. With the way he was acting, I made a resolve to put an end to whatever relationship he was trying to brew with Bishop. This decision was made last night but I wanted to let it slide only for him to start acting up this morning. Now in the middle of his office, w

Novah's POV“Leave now when I’m still being nice with you.” Riana said and with his back turned on us, he proceeded towards the closed door.It seemed like he had a pair of eyes at the back of his head because the moment Thorne held my hand, he said, “Leave without her else you will be doused in your blood the moment the elevator slides open.” His words were terrifying and at once, I pulled my hand from his grip. It was better I remain with him than to see Thorne lose his life when he was clearly trying to help. “You should leave now.” Dexter said, reminding me of his presence and without a word to any of them, I ran in to meet with Riana. When I walked in, he was looking out of his window with his phone against his ear. Taking a deep breath, I began to fiddle with my fingers, constructing and reconstructing my lines of words in my head. If I really wanted to wriggle off the invisible leash he had around my neck I had to be persistent and bold enough to square off with him. A f

Riana's POVWith a calm look in contrast to my raging nerves, I stood behind the window, staring at the neon lights that littered the street. The more I tried to shove her face behind me, the more her features became clearer. “I have to find out all that has happened, else I’m definitely going to lose my head.” I mumbled, straining my ear to hear the approaching footsteps in the hallway. Unsure of who it belonged to, I made my way behind the door and the moment it creaked open, I huffed as it turned out to be Jaylen. “What are you doing here?” I got her startled with my question as she wasn't expecting me to be behind the door. “You've been acting strange for a while now… I know you won't be asleep just yet so I decided to get you involved in a conversation.” She flashed me a smile which I didn't return. Waddling towards my bed, she sat on the edge, patting the spot next to her, “Come join me.” She invited me. “I had a long day at work.” My tone was enough to tell her I wasn't

Novah's POVWith my lips pressed into a thin line, I began to fiddle with my fingers, trying to avoid his hot gaze but it was to no avail. Pushing my hair behind my ear, I kept shifting my gaze to my purse which was lying on the table, waiting for a call to interrupt. “Aren't you going to say anything?” He broke the silence in the room. “I have no idea… I really don't have any.” I mumbled, biting my lower lips as my heart rammed against my chest in quick succession. With each passing second, I felt blood draining from me but Riana wasn't helping matters a bit. The moment the call I had been waiting for came through, I reached out for my purse but Riana beat me to it. Turning off my phone, he tossed the device on the table. “Bishop's father, how did you get to meet Thorne.” He rambled. With his hands folded in front of him now, he said, “Unless you give me answers to those questions, you aren't leaving.”I thought he had forgotten about Bishop’s paternity but how wrong was I.
