DIONNAH'S POVAfter eighteen hours of agonizing labour, I heard my baby's cry for the first time. Although I was still in pain I was beaming from ear to ear."You did it, you did it Dionnah," Michael said as he kissed me."Meet your beautiful little girl," said Dr. Evans as he handed me the baby. "Oh God Michael look at her," I said with tears running down my face."She's so beautiful and precious," said Michael as he kissed the top of her head. She then began to wriggle and make some soft sounds. "What are we going to call her," he asked me."I have the perfect name. Kehlani""Kehlani?" He gasped with tears in his eyes. "That was my mother's name.""I know and I love it so much.""This means so much to me Dionnah. My mother loved her name she told me it means 'sea and sky'. I find it fitting since I'm a Navy Seal. She can conquer both the sea and the air." "It's perfect," I smiled."Just like her," he added as he ran his finger along her tiny ear."Yes. Our Kehlani Daniyah Mulrone
DIONNAH'S POVKehlani had just turned one and we had a small celebration for her. I couldn't believe how time flew by. Everything was right on track in our lives. Michael's job was going superb so he and Jon decided to open up another location where Michael would operate it. I didn't mind because he looked amazing in those work suits. He always preferred the dirty side of the job though, being on sites wearing hard hats and whatnot. I didn't mind either because he was always hot as hell coming home wearing his muscle shirts and tool belt, jeans that hugged his strong muscular legs and he always smelled like his work, manly and intoxicating. Whew, my husband was hot as hell and he was all mine and I was all his. We also moved into the mansion, it took me a while to get used to living in such luxuries but I was getting the hang of it. The best part of the house though was having Mike's dog, Miss Honey living with us. Khelani loved her so much. Mrs. Bromwell though was living with Johnat
DIONNAH'S POVMichael couldn't get enough of me. It was like he was a sex-starved beast and he was making up for lost times. He wanted it anywhere and anytime. I had to be sleeping naked most nights and going to work or anywhere else commando. I liked the whole adventure of it so I wasn't complaining. Michael and I were talking about finding a new place uptown to move Delaney Designs to. We had already looked at some buildings and I fell in love with one that was only fifteen minutes away from his office, but almost forty minutes away from our home. Michael was okay with anything I chose as long as I was happy.We had breakfast with Jon and Dani today. Their mansion was across the road from ours. I told them that I found a building to move our business. "I'm so relieved. The area where we work now is getting worse. Several people had been mugged since the start of this year," explained Dani."That's awful," Mike added. "Luckily you ladies don't have to worry anymore, Jon and I will
MICHAEL'S POV"So Michael how have you been? I didn't know you lived in LA," Stefani made small talk. "I came back almost two years ago," I told her. "Wow. I moved here a year ago." "So where are you living?" I asked. "I live in Munroe City downtown. It's all I can afford bow since Beth's daycare and prep school costs so much. Crenshaw heights.""Oh, so what about your husband. Doesn't he help with bills and expenses?""Umm, actually I'm not married. It's just the two of us. She's all the family I have." Stefani had a sad look in her eyes. She and her older sister, Nicole were orphans and I took a liking to them back in college. They were both two brilliant individuals who got full scholarships to the university. "What do you mean your daughter is the only family you have. What happened to Nicole?" I asked."Well," she said with teary eyes."Is Nicole alright?" I asked. "Michael Nicole died three years ago." "What!" I said stunned. "How? what happened?"Just then Bethany's teac
MICHAEL'S POV"Michael, what are you waiting on to tell Dionnah about the child?"Jonathan had been rambling on about the fact that I didn't tell my wife about my secret child. I had been ignoring him for half the day, but it was getting pretty annoying. "Jon just leave it. I'll tell her when I'm ready," I told him as I kept my face buried in the computer. "Michael look at me!" He ordered slamming his hand on my desk in frustration."What the fuck is your problem?" I asked as I switched the computer off and looked at him."You are Mike. You've been walking around here keeping this secret for two months now. I mean, don't you think she's noticing how strange you've been acting? Coming home later than usual, acting all antsy and guilty at times. She even asked Dani if she knew what you were up to, so Dani has been asking me questions, and trust me you don't want to know what they are suspecting," he told me.Truth be told I had been acting weird. I would visit Bethany after I get off
DIONNAH'S POVWhen Michael's punishment was over he made up for lost time. A girl wasn't complaining but I was sore in most places and had love marks all over my body. It was now the weekend and I had to do a bit of grocery shopping for the house. We had a thing where every week we would take turns to do the shopping and this week was mine. I left Khelani with Michael who told me he was gonna head over to Jon's. I told him that was a great idea since Dani was coming with me to do some grocery shopping of her own. It was almost noon when we reached the store, it wasn't too packed and I was thankful for that because I hated the hustle and bustle of that situation. We were almost finished with our shopping when I glimpsed the woman called Stefanie, she had Bethany standing beside her holding a LOL doll. Our eyes met and I gave her a smile and a nod. Dani and I then walked up to the check-out line with our two trolleys in tow. There were only three persons ahead of us as we waited. A fe
DIONNAH'S POVWhen I got to the apartment building I was very careful. I ensured that I parked where they couldn't see my car but I could see them. It's safe to say I went into full detective mode. But I was shocked when I didn't see Michael's car anywhere near the apartment. I looked up and down the street and there was still no sign of the car. I waited for almost twenty minutes and still no sign of Michael. So I decided to call him. The phone went straight to voicemail. I made two more attempts and it was the same result. I was becoming angrier and angrier at the situation I was in. Why was Michael doing this? I thought.I got fed up and decided to head home. On my way home Dani called and told me that Michael just got back to their house. I hung up and pressed the accelerator. I managed to navigate my way through traffic and in record time I was home."Where is he?" I asked Danielle as I entered the kitchen."He's upstairs," she answered."Mamaaaa," I heard my daughter's sweet voi
DIONNAH'S POVThe next couple of days were weird between Michael and me. I slept in my daughter's room and the only time we spoke was if it was about Kehlani. I noticed that Michael wasn't sleeping in our room either, in fact, he wasn't sleeping at all. "Good morning," I said as I brought Kehlani down for breakfast.Michael was the one who made breakfast but I wasn't in the mood for any. I hadn't been feeling well since the following morning. I would get these slight headaches and get sick at the slightest scent. "Good morning Dionnah, good morning Lani bear," Michael said before kissing Lani. "Dada," Lani said and I smiled."Can you please give her breakfast? I have to go get ready for work.""Aren't you going to have something to eat?" "No. I'm fine. Just ensure that Kehlani eats hers," I told him."Okay," he said then I left the room.That's one thing I loved about Michael. He knew how to give me the space I needed. I loved him with all my heart, but sometimes he did things tha
