Arthur povFLASHBACK- Twenty years agoIt has been two hours since we got back from grandpa’s house, two hours since the ruckus started and two hours since Zachary and i have been locked in our rooms until the maid came to get us.“Do you think we’re the cause for the yelling?” I asked Zachary who was sitting beside me on my bed. Today, we had picked my room to be the safe space since it was farther away from the noise and had more comforting things to hold onto.“Mother sent us to grandfather's house, I dont think we did anything.” My brother, Zachary replied and my hands curled around the casing of a fantasy series book set which my grandfather had gifted me, it was a limited edition, signed by the arthor with a personalized note to me. I should’ve been excited but with the curse words flying back and forth, it was almost impossible to allow my joy to show.Zachary moved out of the bed, his feet which were cladded in black socks padding across the brocade carpet in the middle of my

Arthur POV Flashback continues“He’s just a boy!” it was too loud, the voice echoed in my ears, i would recognize that voice anywhere. It belonged to grandfather, yet why was everywhere still dark and why couldnt i move my body.“He’s my son!!” another voice argued back and cold sweat breaks down my back. Father. He was here and he was with grandfather.“You almost drowned him, if luella hadn’t called me the boy would’ve been dead.” My breath hitched and a sharp intake of breath followed making the room fall silent.“He’s awake, leave Henry, i dont want you to be the first thing the boy sees when he wakes up. You’ve done enough.” The only thing that followed was the marching footsteps which dissapeared.“You can open your eyes Arthur, he’s gone.” His soft words had my eyes open and the soft fragrance from Grandfathes suit calmed me down. The light in the room were on and from the darkness outside, it was night already. How long had i been out for?“What happened?” I asked as i tried t

Arthur POVShe had pulled away from me to regulate her breathing, she swallowed and stared at my face briefly before moving them to her hands. Dani was bold and fierce eighty percent of the times and it made her seem like a dominant force that couldnt be overruled, and yet she melted in my arms over a kiss. Like a school girl who was reliving her first time, shy, innocent and beautiful.“So tell me, you’re just coming back from a trip?” she asked as we began cleaning up the mess in the room, she carried the plates while i arranged the utensils in respective spaces.“Yes, it was nothing important.” i shrugged and when i put away the knife in the rack and turned she was already staring at me with those question in her eyes. “What?”“You say its not important, yet you left without a word for a week, so tell me Arthur what does that count as?”“Its nothing you should be worried about, honestly.” I tell her but she didnt seem fazed to let it all go.“Well if its nothing to be worried about

Dani POV“You’re travelling to Panama?” It was difficult to lie to Robert and Anna after seeing the card attached to the bouquet on my desk.“What? No?” I muttered slipping the cards into a book but it was too late, they had seen it and were going to pester me until they got an answer.Robert knew what was happening but on the other hand, Anna was clueless and it was going to take a lot to have her back off from questioning me. Her eyes held mine as she sort for answers as Robert passed me a sorry smile.“Well then, kindly explain why you have a boquet of flower on your desk. Are you seeing someone?” She asked with her eyes wide and her mouth slightly ajar. There was nothing to do, walking out wasn’t an option as it was only going t increrase her curiosity. Her hands curled around her sides as she shifted her weight to her hips and her curly hair fall in waves.“I-i, it-s It’s complicated.” I replied because that was the truth. I wasnt sure of my relationship with Arthur, did he like

Dani POV“I’m going to miss you mummy but Grams says you’ll be getting me gifts and will be relaxing too,” Ava said as my mother packed her bags outside to the car of her friend who had come to pick her up.“We will speak on the phone every single day and you’ll get to see my face so theres not so much to miss.” I assured her brushing her braids behind and adjusting the shoulder of her sweater. She placed her hands on mine and helped me tugg up the slipping piece of material.“Yeah, that sounds fun- and grams said that Nicole and i get to have makeovers like disney princesses.” She smiled igniting light in her eyes.“Now i’m jealous.” I stated and she giggled while turning at the sound of the door opening, expecting grams to be the one at the door. Ava dashed off when she saw it was Arthur and he wasn’t here empty handed. In his hands was a small paper bag, my eyes met with his and he smiled at me.“I didn’t realize you were coming this early, are we leaving this early?” I asked as so

Arthur POVShe was fast asleep, in my arms. Her head rested on the top of my chest and her lips slightly parted made it clear that she was tired. The air hostess passed me a smile as i climbed down the stairs and walked towards the car waiting for us.“Arthur.” Graham called out to me and i stopped and turned to him. His gaze shifted down to Dani who was in my arms and then back to me.“This thing between you two must be serious, i’ve never seen you looking so realxed in a long while, its either one muderous look or the other. Do you really like her?”Graham was one of those persons that could speak to me about my personal life, maybe because i had known him since pilot school and he had proved himself more as a friend than the pilot he was meant to be to me..“Yes.”“I hope you plan on protecting her from the rest of your world?” It was a question no one had plainly asked me and it made me think, liking Danielle was one thing, bringing her to my world and shielding her from the news,

Arthur povWhy did I lie to her? Why didn’t I just tell her about what the nurse told me back at the hospital? Why didn’t I tell her that she was with me five years ago? Why didn’t I tell her that she was the mother to my child, that Ava is my daughter and it wasn’t just a coy but evident with the test.Not yet. Not yet. I reminded myself and then moved to the other side of the suite, I made sure to get two rooms since Dani may not be comfortable with sharing a room with me.Pulling off my clothes, I walked into the shower and turned on the water pump, the warm liquid dribbled down my head down my back to the ends of my body. The weight of the truth weighed me Down and it was the only thing making me not to go all out on Dani, I wouldn’t want her to think the only reason I did any of that was because of who she was but because I really liked her.The scent from the shampoo enveloped me as I scrubbed my hair, washing my roots and massaging my scalp. It was relaxing, my ears picked up t

Dani POVAfter Arthur's words he left me in the room to finish up, I touched a bit on my makeup and smacked my lips gently as the lipgloss spread through. My hair was straightened and packed in a low bun, it was an effort not to look messy and proper for someone like Arthur. With one last glance at the mirror of my face and body in the dress, I did look spectacular, the silk dress felt really comfortable and had me running my hands over the material over and over again.“Look at you, in a beautiful silk dress for dinner with a billionaire,” I muttered to myself as though I had an audience, I had taken a considerate amount of time and I was sure that Arthur is waiting. With one final sigh, I stepped out. True to my thoughts he was seated on the couch with his eyes fixated on his phone and brows scrunched at whatever he was looking at, his lips weren't in a tight thin line, meaning that he wasn't upset, just curious.In the past few months with Arthur, I've been able to pick up on some

Dani POV“So, thats is how you can achieve the look, its to not place any pressure on the coating, if you do it’ll make the entire desert to collapse.” Moe said and i nodded quietly with my hands firm on my hips. We were currently in the kitchen and i was wearing an apron as Moe, the chef showed me how to make a desert. He later explained his history with Arthur whom was one of his roommates in college, they weren’t so close at the beginning but after Arthur came back to the room hungry one day, Moe had made him a special meal that sealed off their friendship forever.“Less pressure on the coating, got it.” I responded as i stared at the beautiful cocoa powder coating. He passed me a high-five which i easily reciprocated with a smile and then i turned to Arthur who was leaning by the dishwasher watching the both of us.“You two seem to be enjoying your company.” he said with a smile and i grabbed the fork Moe had given me, with a neat scoop i fetched some amount of the desert and walk

My flip flops which were in front of my room was no where to be found.“Anna!!! Its not funny if you tell me to hurry up and take my flip flops.” I yelled back at my cousin. It was difficult leaving with my cousins since my dad promised that we would soon be out of there.“Mum!! Can you help me with another-” A pair of fresh flip flop is hurled at my head and i’m only seconds late as one of the pair slaps my cheeks. With a loud hiss, i spotted my mum waiting with narrowed eyes and the acidic words in my mouth dry out.“You have something to say young lady?” I shook my head and ran outside with the new pair in hand, the car was going to be occupied and i needed to pick the best spot- my spot to avoid anything or anyone messing this trip for me.My face fell when i spotted Unle Lee seating at the middle, just by the window, my spot.“Why is he there?” I asked
