LYDIA'S POV:SAME NIGHT: I walked out of the building and instantly placed my hands in my coat pocket. It was quite chilly as the atmosphere had been quite cold lately. I stared straight ahead and I was shocked to see Nathaniel leaning on his black Lamborghini truck with his eyes glued to his phone looking amazing in his blue suit. He had changed from wearing his usual black suit and this color went well with skin tone. The suit highlighted his biceps and broad shoulders. "O My God, is that Nathaniel King?" Two employees argued and one flashed a camera at him. I rolled my eyes in a full circle about to just head to my car as planned."Good evening." They chorused in a flirty tone walking off, Nathaniel looked up meeting my eyes and flashed me a charming smile. I forced a smile and walked towards him. I was uncertain if we should even be interacting in public as there were eyes everywhere from the media. And the last thing I needed right now was to have my face on the news right befo

NATHANIEL'S POV:TWO DAYS LATER:It was now the weekend and I had been in my home office checking my blueprints all morning exercising and drinking a smoothie. Everything had been going so well after chaos with Jenny, God rest her soul. I was still in disbelief that she was dead, so her life just ended like that. But that was what she wanted for my Lydia. On some days, I would just open one of our old albums and check old pictures of us. I realized we had indeed grown up together and shared our lives together. Why wasn't she okay with us being just friends? Was Lydia right that Jenny's love for me had her doing crazy things? Was it something with me?I kept thinking about how almost everything was my fault especially after a long day after work. But on another hand, I was trying to do everything I can as death can come at any time. I want to do right by Lydia and make her love me as much as I love her, make her happy as much as just her facial expressions made me happy. I want to shar

RACHEL'S POV:THAT NIGHT:The car ride was quiet, well, except for my sniffling and sobbing. I was disappointed in myself and I had come to the realization that coming with Nathaniel was the worst decision I could have made. Jason had promised to change, he said he would do better and see a specialist to deal with his aggressive ways. I had big hopes and for about two days, he was the Jason I fell in love with at first. One who was caring, attentive and loving but it didn't last long. If I didn't speak when he talked to me then according to him, I will be 'disciplined'.He had made several threats to harm my mother, friends and Nathaniel especially if I left him. And he wasn't one to threaten without action. My phone which was on my lap along with the flowers Nathaniel had given to me, the flowers meant so much to me, Nathaniel didn't even know. His actions tonight might have worsened my situation but I adored him for standing up for me. It dinged and instantly fear washed all over my

LYDIA'S POV:NEXT DAY:It was just 8 a.m on a Sunday when I had hopped into my car and headed straight to Lorena's house. She had not been picking my calls nor replying to my text messages, not only was I curious if the rumors about her tying the knot with Darren secretly but I was also enraged because I knew it seemed like something she would do.She looked extremely radiant in the new pictures that had been posted up on blogs, which made me extremely suspicious. I was worried about her, she would be receiving so much insult from her family.I was about a few minutes there when I stopped by at Café. I woke too early after a roller coaster of events last night from a beautiful solo date to meeting Jeremiah there, to seeing Nathaniel and Rachel and ending with Lorena's news. I mean I slept well but I need more sleep, plus I have work to do and events to prepare for me. A part of me is so excited for the book signing coming up and I'm also extremely proud of myself at the amount of boo

LYDIA'S POV:AT NIGHT:After leaving Lorena's place, I made breakfast but it was more of lunch afterwards I completed the work I had left, then took a needed nap. I just arrived at the hospital, I was strolling down the hallway to Andrew's room holding my bag and another bag containing food. I saw Arianna standing in front pacing back and forth while discussing with someone on the phone call. She looked drained, her energetic and lively ways oftentimes made me forget she was still pregnant.As I drew near, we made eye contact and she smiled weakly bidding the person on the other line goodbye."Hey girl." I spoke while stretching out my hand for an embrace and she hugged me warmly."What's up? Did you get some rest?" I questioned and she just shook her head smiling."You didn't get some rest?" I observed her and she looked like she had something she wanted to say."I have some exciting news to share." She began and I grinned giving her my full attention. "Alright…spill it." I urged h
