Third person's POV Emily dropped the phone with shaky hands. She couldn't meet Hera's curious eyes. She was tempted to lash out at the poor woman but she kept her cool. "Why did you keep interrupting? I didn't want her to find out like this. What if she took it the wrong way? I could lose my best friend in the process!" It came out harsher than she had intended. Hera sighed as she rolled over to her side, placing cold hands on Emily's arm. "I wanted her to know she had someone like me in your life. I was trying to help you." Emily shrugged her off. "Well, you didn't help me. I don't want to have fights with you…" she was aware that Hera took the burden of breaking the news to Dalia. Hera quickly raised her hands in surrender. This was different from what Emily saw the times they met. She was cold and harsh but to Emily, her expression and voice softened a bit. For some reason Emily didn't know, Hera had chosen to sleep over
Dalia's POV I didn't know what to reply to my best friend. Am I happy? She should really be specific. "I am not." I finally admitted. There is one person who is making it harder for me. Bethany. "Oh, Dee.. I am so sorry. What are we going to do?" Emily sighed. "What's happening? Did Eros do something bad?" The same voice asked from the background. "Go to sleep, babe." Emily cooed in a calm voice. It was the same voice she used whenever I felt low. Just like now. "Hera?" I made a wild guess. I know she will never tell me unless I catch her in the act. I need to be less judgemental. There was a pregnant pause. "I thought I told you this night is for you alone. Talk to me. Who is making you cry? Eros?" I sniffled as I recalled the incident in the kitchen. "His best friend." "That bitch!" Emily yelled. Then I heard her mutter sorry to whoever it was. She has managed to avoid my questions again. "You know wha

Eros' povI had just snatched the coffee from Isaiah when I saw something that was beyond my control. It was Dalia.This time, she was different. Not the woman who lazed about in my mansion with a gown over her tall frame.From the transparent glass door, she majestically walked into the hallway that led to my office. She was wearing one of the latest West gowns. She must have bought a lot of it not because she loved it but to spite me.Little does she know that I love seeing my designs on her body. If it was possible, I could use her for my next model design. It was a cocktail dress meant for formal events. Her baby bump was barely visible under the tight material and I wanted to know why.What trick did she use this time?Her clean shaved legs glowed as the color of her skin marched with the brown heels on her feet. I didn't like the look of those heels pressing against her swelling ankles. Why did she have to go out of her way to please me?She was as sexy as hell!I was about to a
I beamed at her. Happy that she had the decency to be confused. She will get an earful when we get home but for now… "I am sorry my love." For added measure, I stood up, going behind her back to massage her shoulders a little.I nearly snorted because they were so stiff and when I touched them, they were rigid. I used my elbows to gently rub them until they went down. She gradually straightened her back. "I shouldn't have left you hanging. But I must say, you look ravishing."There were murmurings here and there as some of the staff agreed while the others whistled at my public display of love."Kiss, kiss, kiss!" They started chanting and I leaned over to kiss her. She tasted like a mixture of mint and coffee. I pulled back, licking my dry lips a little.Her soulful gray eyes met mine and she knew that I did that because we were both in public. I sighed. She wasn't happy.But she took her seat to my joy."Sorry about that." I apologized to the excited staff. They have seen what peopl
Dalia's POV I had just stepped into the hallway that led to my office when my personal assistant ran towards me with glee. You see, Isaiah eventually found out that his girlfriend was being mistreated in her working place. He asked her to quit immediately and as luck would have it, I was in need of someone who would assist me. Isaiah had submitted his girlfriend's work profile and I saw how efficient she was. Unfortunately, she wasn't recognised by the director. Isaiah taught his girl well. I frowned when she pointed at the basket of fruits and flowers. Then a letter came to view. "What is this?" I didn't collect the letter because I was a bit worried. What if it was from a secret admirer in this office? It would be weird to receive this from Eros. The smile on Tracy's face slowly wiped off. Her shoulders slumped. "Just check who it is." She tried again and something told me she opened the letter. Her character wa
I shrugged. If I had one on me, I would waste no time in draping it around her shoulders. "I wish I had one. You look ravishing. Always."She scoffed with a ridiculous look on her face. It has become a habit now. She never believed what I said. "Yeah right. I know you are horny, but you should keep it low.""Does anyone know you are this rude?" I mocked. I doubted anyone knew this side of her. And I am glad there is someone who shares my sarcastic side. Whenever we are alone, she always has a comeback.It was both annoying and amusing."Emily knows, which is why she never provokes me as much as you do." She clicked the roof of her mouth in annoyance. I know I am an asshole. Everyone knows me as a jerk, and I love being the indifferent one.It helped me look past my insecurities. Who would think the great and mighty Eros West was insecure? He managed to pull away from his influential family and make a name for himself.Everyone wants to hear his success story, but no one wants to go th
"I don't tolerate Betty," I defended, a little hurt that she was saying that about me. I will let her know that I care for a lot of people in my life. No, scratch that. I don't. If I truly cared, I would have taken the triplets under my wing. I would have called Athena every day to ask her about the process of her divorce. I would have taken care of her. We should have one as a family.If I truly cared, Echo wouldn't have to be a therapist. She needed help, yet proffered help to others. Look at the silly guy she ended up with! He can barely stand his ground in the presence of my parents. So miserable. I would have set up blind dates for her despite everything. She too was a victim of a perfectionist upbringing.If I truly cared, I would have followed Ajax. Post pictures of him and I having drinks together. That man was lonely. He felt that cracking jokes about his family made him special. He needed a woman in his life.Of course, he has a son. A son he hasn't told Hector and Gaia abou
