Dai's POVToday might just be the worst day of my life, My partner has been laying in his bed all day as usual while Lia and her friends were playing some games at one corner of the room. To distract myself from thinking about my partner's health and Lia, I got my Laptop out of the bag I brought to do some work.It's hard to focus when the woman who makes me feel strange things is around me. We don't need to be closer to each other or make small talk for me to be affected cuz only her presence was enough to affect me. I am staring intently at my Laptop screen, when I notice Lia push a button making a sound which got me up on my feets as fast as possible.Rushing to my partner's bed "What's going on" I asked her in a panicked voice "he's having a seizure again" she replies with teary eyes. My heart sinks seeing her in this state and my partner wasn't doing well either. The medical staffs were quick in action with taking my partner to the ER. I'm confused at Lia's show of sadness, her
Dai's POVI am getting ready to drive off to my partner's home when I recall my time at the cemetery, everyone had gone to where the reception was held but Lia stayed back. She was crouched down between my partner and his wife's graves, talking and crying which was odd to me cuz I believe she's just pretending but there was no one at the cemetery for her to pretend with.This is all so confusing, Mr. Ramsey said she'll be at the Will reading. I really have this confusing feeling about her. Not wasting precious time, I pick up my keys and hit the road. I am 30minutes early cuz I had a few things to discuss with Mr. Ramsey before Lia arrives."Good morning Everyone" Lia walks into the room wearing a black simple flowing gown, no makeup and a small black bag. She looks more like a bereaved daughter than a bereaved wife. "Good morning Dahlia, how are you?" Mr Ramsey ask"I am fine, Thank you" she replies with a polite smile, this woman was really blessed by the heavens to charm men on ea
Dahlia's POVI've had it with Dai and his arrogance, if he thinks he can walk me out of the company then he's in for a surprise. There's no way I'm giving up on a job I got because of my credentials and qualifications.I gave up easily on the company shares because I didn't want them from the beginning. If I had a choice, I'll give him all the wealth and let him handle Mr. Trump's donations and investments. Sitting with my girls after telling them about the awful day I had because of Dai and how difficult he's making life for me. "I can't believe I had a childish crush on that arrogant jerk, but to think he wasn't this up tight and self absorbed when I was younger." Hana seems surprised at Dai's behaviour."you should quit and relocate back to the US and maybe establish your own company, plus you'll be closer to managing Mr. Trump's orphanage and foundation" Sarah says while typing on her laptop. "Girl, you deserve a fresh start away from your Boss and his arrogance. I'm thinking of r
Dahlia's POVHe just needed to show the hotel staff how much he didn't want to spend his time with the likes of me, even though I don't want to share a room with him either but I'm not acting all desperate. The receptionist not being able to handle the situation well, calls the manager who apologizes for the mix up but offers to bring in a sofa bed for us to better put privacy between us in the suite. He even offered to have our meals for our entire stay, put under the hotel's tab as compensation for their mistake. I like how the manager is trying to amend the issue but Dai being Mr. arrogance wasn't having it. He refused the offer and requests that I call the driver whom he dismissed after he dropped us, to come get us to another hotel close by this hotel.This hotel is the reception venue for Mr. Laurel's wedding, reasons why almost all the guest are lodged here. "some arrogant jerk sent the driver off without getting his contact details, it's best you stop acting rude and accept t
Dai's POVI need to see the finish look of Lia to know how gorgeous and beautiful she'll look at this wedding, at least I get to be with a beautiful woman tonight even though she's a gold digger. The first chance she gets to spend my partner's money. Booking a personal stylist in France for a wedding.Instead of taking advantage of a dying man, I wonder why she didn't just find a wealthy Business tycoon to leech off. A few ladies and gentlemen walk out the elevator dressed french style and I assume they're also wedding guest of the couple. I hope not to sit here for hours before Lia gets done.Focusing on my phone's screen, reading the latest Tech news which catches my attention. I lost count of the people exiting the elevator and get pulled to my phone. The first thing I notice are silver blinking shoes which draws my attention from my phone, before my eyes trials up to the owner of these shoes, my breath hitches in my throat.Standing infront of me is the most beautiful woman alive,
Dahlia's POVMy head feels like a music band had a drumming practice on it last night, the headache seems to be getting worst as I open my eyes to the light reflecting from the window. It takes a few seconds to realize what happened last night and the reason why I am naked under these sheets.Turning to my left which is empty but has evidence of someone having slept beside me all night, Dai held me all to himself last night. The images of our time together still fresh in my mind. I don't know what will happen next for us, will he finally believe that I am not a gold digger?. I quickly throw the sheets off me and head straight to the bathroom for a quick shower.Dai is sitting on one sofa reading a magazine, when I step out of the room. How do I approach him after last night's event. "Good morning" I greet him taking the service phone to order breakfast."Good morning, I already ordered some breakfast for you, figured you'll be too tired" he seems cool with last night. "but feel comfor
Dai's POVThe goal of my actions towards Lia is to get her to quit since it'll be difficult to fire her from the company. I can't have her around me especially after the passionate night we shared three weeks ago. It takes a lot of self-control on my part not to pin her on the office door and have my way with her. I can't keep feeling this way towards her.There's this nagging feeling in me when ever I see her sad, especially when I snob her. Lately I've been spending my evenings at Abe's night club, drinking all night and going late to the office. Lia always seems to handle everything with ease when I am absent. There's no way I can fire her even if I wanted to.Thought she'll be broken by how I've been treating her and eventually she'll be forced to quit but it's the exact opposite. She has been ignoring me and only interacts when we're working, I don't know why it bothers me. She's always the first to leave during break time and when it's time to get off work, she doesn't hesitate
Dahlia's POVI feel like letting the earth open up and swallow me. This is the result of a one night's slip up brought about by lust and passion. One thing I am sure of is that Dai will never be a part of my baby's life. I am going to love him/her to the moon and back. My girls have been very supportive since they learnt about the baby, they didn't need to ask who the father is cuz they already know.I had a few missed calls from Dai in the evening when I arrived home. I am certain he's upset because I left work without permission. I'll let it be and deal with him tomorrow. My girls are against me going back to work because of the pregnancy, even after assuring them a million times that I am fine.I made the girls promise me they weren't going to tell him or anyone, not even Hana's brother. Dai is leaning at the front of his desk when I walk into the office. "Good morning Sir, my apologies for leaving the office without permission yesterday due to ill health" he looks at me with an in
