Diamond’s POV The day was a hectic one.I had a four hours lecture with the Harvard Professor and no breaks in between.After that I had to carry out a lecture surgery for some junior residents since apparently the doctor assigned to was indisposed.And that lecture went on for about two hours.I finally had time to catch my breath as I strode back to my office.But really what I needed was a time out .I sat in my office to try and get some work done but I couldn’t.I sighed and left the office.I went into the Doctor’s lounge to get coffee or at least something to drink.While filling my cup, a male spoke behind me.“Coffee in the afternoon?”I turned to see Timothy leaning against the wall. Legs crossed, arms folded as he smiled.Again with the teeth.He was truly specially sculpted by God himself.“I just needed to drink something and water wasn’t it,” I said as I brought the cup to my mouth.“Stop!”I looked up at him with the cup on my lip.“Sorry?”“I have s
Lennox’s POV I was done with work for the day. I had some patients rounds and a brief meet up with the director to discuss ‘not work related’ stuff.As I stepped out of his office to go back to mine and pack up, Diamond’s words kept reoccurring in my head.I felt bad for overstepping. But curiosity got the best of me.The whole story of the kids true father was too much of a mystery for me to move past it.But her encounter with Timothy had nothing to do with it.I didn’t want to admit it to myself earlier but I felt uneasy seeing them together.When he had flirted with her and she went on with it, I had felt a sharp sting in my heart.I tried to dismiss the feeling but it kept coming back and when I saw them together in her office I was infuriated.I had the sudden urge to punch Timothy in the face for being his flirty self.He definitely had a charm to him that all the females in the hospital were so eager to get on.He was good looking and young too, probably looked you
Diamond’s POV I walked quickly to my office as my heart was beating rapidly.I shut the door behind me and collapsed on the couch.I couldn’t believe what had almost transpired between Lennox and I.For some reason my whole body was aching.I had felt it everywhere. I hugged myself tightly as I tried steadying my breath.And it all came rushing in.The way he looked at me, the lust in his eyes.He wanted me and he didn’t bother hiding it.When his gaze dropped to my lip, for a moment I thought he was going to move in.And something inside me yearned for it.The feeling of his hand on my cheek as he brushed my hair out of my face.I wanted to lean in more than anything.The feeling of lust soon turned into one of rage.I was angry at Lennox for what had almost happened, for coming close to me.But I was angry at myself more. How could I have let things get that far?None of this was meant to happen, I was not supposed to be feeling this way.I immediately got up fro
"When do you plan to divorce her?"Today is my sister's cradle ceremony but here I am arriving so late. I spent all night undergoing a surgery and I had thought I would make it in time but the surgery was so critical that it spans down to this morning. To say I'm exhausted, is an understatement but I've to do this. When I arrived at my family’s mansion, I heads straight to my sister room to surprise her with the gift I have for her since I am told she is in her room. But while approaching her door, I had been hearing some faint voices protruding from her room. Seems like she is having a serious banter with a man but nothing has been clear till I hears her talking about divorce. I don't know why but it spur up a little bit of curiosity in me. "You know I can't just divorce her without a good reason babe. I'm still trying to come up with a plan..." I nearly trip and almost let go of the box of gift beneath my arm. Is it just me? Or does that baritone voice sound all too familiar t
"What?!... wait... Diamond you don’t Fucking mean that...” I scoff hard as Lennox’s voice comes after me when I storm out of the room. As I storms down the lobby he’s coming behind me in long strides. “Demand!”“Diamond... hold the hell up.” I completely ignore him. I arrive at the living room in no time and it is just as lively as I had left it. Guests eating, drinking, most of them hanging around with the new born baby as my mother scuffles her in her arms. No one seems to notice my presence at first until Lennox catches up with me. “Diamond!” He grips my wrist sharp to pull me back but I didn’t know how it happened. My hands acted out on it own and in the next split second, a hot thunderous slap landed across Lennox’s face. It come out so loud and sharp that it aggregated the baby to Cry from that far and it alarms every single person in the room. Some has their dish crashing down, bottles crashing, gasping and some standing up. I’m not so surprise to see the terrifying s
My eyes flips open and I’m feeling a dull ache in my head. My eyes scan around and I see cannulas connected to my wrist but I’m a thousand percent sure the bed I’m lying on isn’t as rocky as a hospital bed and neither is the room. The room kinda looks and smells familiar but I’m unable to figure out whose room I am or how I got here in the first place but thankfully, the door flips open and Aaron trudges in clad in his medical coat. “You are awake!” He drops the pile of files he’s holding on the cabinet and rushes towards me on the bed. “How are you feeling now?” He inquired and I pulled myself up to sit down, he quickly guided me up. “I’m feeling a slight headache. What happened? To me?” I mutter, my memory in jumbles. Last I remember, we were all in court and I’d Divorce Lennox. What happened after that?“You passed out yesterday at the court, so I had to bring you down here.” I passed out? “What happened, I mean what’s wrong with me?” I rasps, getting worried. Aaron smil
Three years later. “Hayden! Braden!! Jayden!!!” I holler on top of my lungs as I step into the very room I cleaned up yesterday. It was sparkling and everything was in perfect order but now I can’t even recognize it anymore. The whole place is in shambles. Clothes, shoes, toys and junk papers are strewn everywhere. On the floor. Bed. Dresser. Closet. Gosh! Did a party go down here that I’m not aware of? “Jayden! Bra...” I am hollering again when three identical boys suddenly pop out from one of the inner rooms. They are frowning and almost shivering like scaredy cats. as if already knowing they are in for it. I fold my arms to my chest maintaining a stern look as I stare at them. They look just like tiny clones of me. All round faces, his cat-like shape eyes, high bridge nose, full lips, but their chestnut curly hair is just same as the man I don’t want to remember. They also have his hazel eye contacts. Sometimes I wish they didn’t pick anything from him but that’s nature ri
I sit on the bed, clutching a framed photograph of a docile looking man. He’s on a white sparkling white coat radiating with a smile. it took a tear to dab on the surface of the frame, for me to realize I had been crying. I’m crying profusely. It's been a year now ever since Aaron passed away, but the pain still feels as raw as the day I lost him. I could never bring myself to forget him. To forget all he had sacrificed for me and the kids. After that incident with him fainting while urging the children to school, I rushed him to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with lung cancer. Because it was already in the late stages, there was nothing we could do to save him. And just like that, he passed away the following few months. He was a devoted father to the triplets and a very supportive and caring friend even to his last breath, as all he had was willed to the triplets, just to make sure they were comfortable even after his passing. His absence has left a void in my heart and t
