Hera’s Pov Nothing was going according to plan, I was a mess, everything was too. I didn’t even care about being with Eggust anymore, I just wanted Juss to leave him, because that was the only way they would be separated. Eggust was bent on not leaving her, he seemed to be more in love with her than she was with him. It was almost pathetic and made him look weak. I couldn’t believe my Eggust was simping over some old pussy when I could give him everything he needed. “What am I doing wrong? What am I not doing right or doing enough?” I asked rhetorically. Everything I tried wasn’t working. It was almost like I was moving in circles, which I hated so much. An idea suddenly popped in my head, what if they had separated at midnight, and I didn’t know because I hadn’t checked yet. I dashed to my room and picked up my phone, excited to see the headlines that Juss and Eggust had finally broken up, but then I remembered they weren’t even public, so even if they broke up, I

Marlani’s Pov “I can’t do what you’re asking me, ma’am,” Ezekiel declared wiping off the stain he had on his lips. I had invited him to have breakfast so I could talk about Eggust and Juss. He was the closest to them, and I really just wanted to know what was really going on. He had been avoiding my gaze since he got here, I hoped to prey on his guilt to get some useful information. “So you’re saying you’re in support of their relationship? Is that why you didn’t tell me when it first started?” “No, I’m saying that Eggust is not a child. He is a grown man, he is old enough to decide for himself, and whatever he wants, is entirely up to him. It’s not my job to meddle in his affairs.” I had forgotten something about Ezekiel, he wasn’t one to be intimidated. It’s one of the reasons we hired him. So if I wanted to get an important piece of information from him, I needed another tactics. “You’re a father Ezekiel, what would you do if you were in my shoes? Would you le

Marco’s Pov There’s nothing sweeter than technology and the advantages it brought people like me. I was never a privileged kid, I lived in a community where having a cellphone was a luxury that only the rich could afford. So, being able to come this far and to be able to provide my child with everything they need was a blessing to me. But first, I needed to actually get the money to give to Jessica, so my child could be born. The wonderful thing about technology is as long as you know a person's name, you could get any information about them. Most often from their social media accounts. But if they were popular, all that was required was a photo of them. You won’t need to search for them because they are everywhere. Simple as that! As soon as you had that, you could put it on Google search and Viola! That was exactly what I did with Marlani's photo. Yes, the lady that Hera met with was no other person than Marlani Riggs, Eggust's mother. From the

Juss’ Pov. Eggust left two days ago and since then, the house felt so empty. He was thoughtful enough to leave Ezekiel behind with me, else, I would have gone crazy. Ezekiel practically moved in since Eggust left, and he was never far from me for long. He was constantly bringing up ways to entertain me and while I appreciated all he did, it still was nothing compared to Eggust's presence. I missed him. Knocking on my door, Ezekiel entered carrying a breakfast tray loaded with every mouthwatering dish one could imagine. I smiled and sat up. "Good morning Ms Indigo." "Good morning Ezekiel. With the way you're spoiling me, I might just decide to leave Eggust and marry you.'' He beamed. "I'm sure we can arrange something when he's back because I wouldn't want to let go of you either." I looked at the plate with adoration. "You really know how to take care of a lady." "I try my best." he replied modestly. Deciding to play coy, I winked at him. "So tell me, fine

Marlani…. I ignored my phone as it continued to ring on my bed stand. As if I didn’t have a lot on my plate already, a ghost from my past had suddenly resurfaced, threatening to haunt me, to ruin the life I had built for myself and Eggust who had a hard time appreciating it. I tried to get some sleep, even though it was afternoon already, but the phone wouldn’t stop ringing and I knew the caller was persistent, if I didn’t attend to it, the caller wouldn’t stop. After several minutes of tossing and turning, I finally made up my mind. I would have a meeting with him and settle whatever it was, once and for all. I got out of bed and rummaged through my closet, to find something decent to wear. I opted for a peach off shoulder dress that stopped right above my knee, and paired it with silver wedge. I texted the persistent caller the location of the restaurant we would be meeting, his reply came almost immediately, like he knew I wouldn’t be able to stand my ground. So muc
