Chapter 11

Aliya's POV“Drop that, we won't be getting it.” I said to Leo as he picked up an oversized hoodie at the mall.“We can get it for Daddy.” “Yes baby, when daddy is around, right now, he isn't.” He was quiet and when I looked down, I saw that he was looking past me and when I turned around, I saw Dylan looking around as if he was looking for something.“Tell me you have not betrayed me again by telling him we are here?” He shrugged and ran out of the corner where I had begun to pull him into. “Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!” I rolled my eyes as I was forced to come out of my hiding to face him. I still felt flustered from our encounter last night. I cleared my throat and forced myself to say hello to him. He replied absent mindfully as Leo pulled him away, and they disappeared in an instant, only to reappear a few minutes later with so many clothes.“Leo,” I called as I took the clothes from him, “These are too much and…”I noticed most were women’s clothing. “You got them for me?” “No, Daddy got

Chapter 12

Dylan's POVIt honestly isn’t a big deal showing her the ropes when making connections with people. It is what I do for a living. In fact, I grew into it. Don't get me wrong, I don't enjoy it, at least not as much as Chris, my friend does. I watched him showing her how to play golf and at the back of my mind, I knew I had to keep an eye on her because Chris would mistakenly make a move on her. It was something, although it would be harmless, the thought made my chest burn.“I’ll take it from here, thanks.” Chris threw his hands in the air in question, but I just grabbed the club from him and stood behind Aliya. “Do you know why I brought you here.” I could practically feel her roll her eyes. “ The golf course is the best place to meet the people I am looking for, the first target, precisely.That is why. ” “You’re correct, but I also want you to learn how the business world works. If you don't start learning now, you may not do as well expanding our business.” “I love the vote of confi

Chapter 13

Aliya's POV“You didn’t tell me you would come,” I said as I saw Dylan’s Porsche parked outside the school’s compound. It is another visitation at the school.“You did not ask.”“But we both agreed you wouldn’t come when he insisted.”“Yes, and then he called me and I could not turn him down.”“Oh shoot! That boy!”I had seen him sneaking around last night and somehow thought it would have something to do with Dylan. I just wasn’t sure.I sighed. I guess he is now part of our life now, whether we like it or not, so as we entered the office of the school’s principal, we were not surprised when we were referred to as his parents.“You must be Leo’s dad. He has said so much about you, and in fact, everyone has been so eager to meet you.”“Indeed.”Dylan shook hands with the middle-aged man, who looked like he was in awe of the fine young man in front of him. I would too.I also smiled to myself. The conversation did not really include me much, and when it was over, we walked out of the o

Chapter 14

Aliyah's POVI sprinted towards my car without waiting for anything and drove to the hospital where Elena was supposed to be, but before I got there, I received a call from Leo.“I am with Elena in front of the mall, and she’s not okay.”“Wait, how are you with her?”“She took me out with her, and just come… Mum…”There was barely any time to think before I rushed there.But instead of seeing Elena in pain or anything, she was with Leo and Dylan.I closed my eyes for a while and sighed with exasperation.“Did Leo put you up to this?”Elena mouthed an apology before grabbing Leo to leave.“Leo said the only way to get you to come with me to shop for the fundraiser is if we prank you.”“What happened to asking politely?”He shrugged with a smile. “That is what happens when you have a romantic son who has disappeared after causing trouble.”I suddenly burst out into laughter. I guess he is really so hell-bent on making Dylan his dad if he was doing all this, but it is not entirely up to

Chapter 15

Dylan's POVI had only gotten distracted for some minutes.“You need to see this.” One of the girls at the party said, and without a word, I could imagine the danger was from Cupid, and I knew who was in danger,Cupid wasn't my friend; he has always been someone I tolerated because we shared a friend circle. He jokes a little, but most times, he goes to extremes when it comes to having fun.He and I never got along as he always finds ways to rile me up, so now, with Aliya here, I would have thought of being more careful with her. The sight that greeted me was Aliya being pushed into the water.I did not think twice before I jumped into the water to get her out, but instead of seeing a struggling, drowning lady in the water, she swam up, laughing really hard. I looked at her, not sure what was going on, and before I knew it, she splashed some water on my face.“Wow!”“Get out of the water, Aliya.”“You wanted me to have fun, right? Let’s do this.” And that was it. She swam away and re

Chapter 16

Aliya's POVI rushed out of the coffee shop, mug in hand, as I headed straight for the office. There was a lot of work we need to do that has been left untouched for quite a while now.I slid in my card at the entrance and as I walked in, Elena approached me.“Hi, there's someone waiting to meet you.”I raised an eyebrow. I don't have an appointment with anyone today, but I did not reply. I only had those unfinished works in my head and that was it.Immediately I stepped in, I realized the huge mistake I had made. I should have asked Elena whom the visitor was because I definitely wasn't expecting to see the face of the bastard I am now looking at, sitting on the seat opposite my chair, hands entwined, looking dangerously handsome with his hair styled to each side.“What are you doing here?”“Wrong question, how did I find you?”“I am not going to play a game of what's wrong and what's not wrong with you. What are you doing here?”I did not sit. In fact, I stood by the door, ready to

Chapter 17

Dylan's POV“You have an appointment later today, I’m sure you forgot.”“Perhaps you would attend that one for me,” I replied. Chris’s serious expression immediately turned into a grin.“I will not mind, actually, because”“I know, I have more things to worry about before you start to give me a lecture on what I should do and what I should not.”“Actually, I wasn’t about to give you a lecture. I was just about to say that you just have to go there functionally. It is not like they would force you to get married on a blind date.”“I will not put that beyond my family, actually.”“Well, you still have to go.”I nodded and looked at my time. It was almost time that I had promised Leo that I would pick him up from school. This better be fast.I got in my car and drove off, preparing a script in my head. Most of these blind dates always go as I have planned, and in the case that they do not, I always have a backup plan.It was obvious whom the girl I had come to meet was. She was sitting a

Chapter 18

Aliya's POV“They didn't mention you have a girlfriend.”“Now, you know.” Dylan replied as he looked at me fondly.The girl scoffed, “For all I know, you planned this too, but then, it doesn't matter. “ She looked at my hands, “You're not narrowed yet," and that was a relief. You can have as many girlfriends as you have as long as I get what I want.”Wow! That's insane!At least her outburst gave me an idea of what exactly I was hoping for. I just stood there, unsure what to do. The girl brought us a pretty card and slid it inside his front pocket and winked.“Call me when you are ready to talk.”With that, she walked away, a huge. And dolled her as she walked away. I guess my job here is dining. I smiled and headed out.“I messed up again, didn't I?” Dylan asked as he rushed to catch up with me.I smiled, “Not this time. I totally understand that you had to do what you needed to do, so I get it.”“That's a relief for them.”“Is that what you do to girls though?”“What's that?”“Mess

Chapter 19

Dylan's POVWhat again does this old man want?I asked myself as I looked at the phone blaring loudly beside my bed. It is so early for Christ's sake!Looks like he was pretty determined to wake me up from sleep because the calls did not stop. Eventually, I grabbed my phone and picked it up.“Don't pretend you did not hear the phone ring?”“Alright, I won't pretend.”“I heard you ruined another blind date.”“Sure, what did you expect?”“I expected you to be wiser than bringing another lady to a date with someone like Sylvia.”“Who is someone like Sylvia?” The question jumped right out of my mouth.“She is every single thing you want in a lady and now, you would let someone else take what should belong to us because of your lack of discretion.”“I don't like her either.”I said with disdain. He was quiet on the phone for a while before he spoke again.“I will give you one week to actually introduce someone to me, or you will stop going to the office because it is obvious that you do no

Chapter 20

Dylan's POVOkay, that was totally not expected. It was the last thing I would expect to come out of her mouth given the tension ongoing for a long time and all.Aliya has baggage, and I am not so sure if she was ready to open up. I could actually keep straight to the script, but I find myself getting more and more interested in her every single time we meet or have the opportunity to talk.I stared at her beautiful face as we both stood there.“Sorry if I said too mu…”“No, I mean, that is like the best idea I have had in a long time, so I was just a little bit carried away, that’s all. But sure, why not?”It looked like she had been expecting that I would turn her down because she heaved a deep sigh, which I could only attribute to relief from what she expected me to say.“I mean, don’t think I like you or something. I am just saying we both have something the other needs, so we can make it work that way if you want.”“I’m in.”“What would the backstory be?”“Backstory?”I asked in
