Kiara povI was glad that the occasion that was giving me many sleepless nights was finally here and now I could rest easily after tonight.The awareness that messing up tonight would make a permanent dent in my image had left me with a lump in my throat for quite some time now but I was glad to be breathing okay again."I'm sorry gorgeous, I hope your date doesn't mind me talking to you?"I looked at the third man that had approached me that night, and I was just blinking my eyes in disbelief. I had picked the dress I was wearing last minute after realizing the big night was almost here and I still wasn't ready yet and not only that but my makeup was not as phenomenal as some ladies here.You could tell that they already looked good and the makeup they had on was just a cherry on top. With my ten-minute makeup routine I felt extremely plain and I was trying not to get too close to them to avoid looking even plainer.Because of this, I was not expecting to get any attention, not like

Bryant pov"Let me get this right, you want me to leave?" I had not expected that our conversation was going to take this long and all I wanted was to get to my wife.She was now sitting on my mahogany table that she had put herself on the moment we stepped into the office. From the look on her face, I could tell that our conversation was going far from where she had expected it to."You need to understand.." I tried to explain to her calmly."This event is strictly for people that are working in this company or their close invite-" I was barely done speaking before she got into my words."I don't understand, I am your girlfriend, why do I need an invitation to come to this then?"I felt like I had aged 10 years with this conversation even though it had probably just been a couple of minutes. I wanted to return to my wife as soon as possible and to the occasion in general since it could not move onto the next stage without me.And here this woman was fighting all sorts of nonsense a

Kiara's povThe moment I heard that he was going to be acknowledging his cousin I wanted to shrink into something small and dismissible and then crawl into the nearest hole I could find.What really made me think that he was going to take my side over his own family just because he couldn't remember him yet it didn't change the fact that the same blood run through their veins it's my foolishness that made me want to disappear it made me wish that the earth will just open up conveniently and swallow me.I held onto the side of my dress remembering how the previous one that I had admired so badly was torn right in front of me despite all the money that I put into it my husband had insisted on buying it for me but I told him that I wanted to buy it with my own hard-earned money after all I wasn't working for free and I wanted to spoil myself a little bit.We were able to come to some kind of compromise when he said he was going to give me a big bonus if the party went smoothly and that s

Anna povThis has to be some kind of joke.I have repeated that phrase to myself so many times since Bryant lost his memory that it is almost becoming a mantra for me at this point.If I knew that things would have deteriorated to this point I would have never told him to marry that useless whore.Getting a signal from my GPS I turned around a few more times before I arrived at a respectable but secretive hotel. I glanced at my wrist watch and then I walked out of my car, opening the door and keeping my sunglasses tightly fixed to my face.I had even brushed my hair so roughly that most of it would be covering my face like a curtain. It earned me a funny look at the receptionist's office but I couldn't care any less as I headed up to my destination on the top floor grinning from ear-to-ear.All the tension that had built up for me this week would finally be released, I got into the hotel and then started setting the mood for the other person that was going to join me playing slow musi

Kiara's povThe silence that entered the dining area when Anna said that was louder than an exploding bomb and I just looked at her, my jaw now running to the ground, my eyes skipped over to my husband.Panic immediately ran through every fiber of my body when I noticed he was rushing at his former fiancee."What did you just say to my mate?" He growled from the bottom of his throat and I watched as all of the color in her face immediately washed off. I would have been scared too if I was in her position.I was sitting across from her but hearing that sound was enough to make me feel cold all over even if it wasn't directed at me.My husband's eyes were obviously hot with rage and I was afraid of what he would do if he acted in this anger-and how it will be conveniently blamed on me- so with a movement that was swift as a breath I was standing next to him and my arm interlocked with his own."Bryant, she didn't mean it like that!" I never thought that a time would come when I would b
