Anonymous povI could not understand him no matter how I tried. He was very impossible to read or play. As far as I know, he had never had his heart broken before. So, I could not fathom why the walls he had built for himself and the thick skin he had developed, all in a bid to protect himself from love. I only hope he does find love later, I believe that it would change him."At a point, I did not believe in love too. After what happened with you know who, I must have promised myself to avoid love at all costs" I said trying to give him my dose of motivational advice. He scoffs and says "what do you think you are doing, helping me? I do not need it, we have better things to discuss. Who is she by the way?" He asked"Oh, do not worry about that. I am sure you will meet her soon""Whoever it is, is a very lucky woman""And I, a lucky man" we both burst into laughter "I trust you on that. It is very bad to have traitors amongst us. Without such a traitor, we can only think of success
Natasha's pov (The Gonzalez's Family Home) "Babe? Babe!" I called out. His phone had been ringing and he was nowhere to be found "Honey, what is it?" He asked walking in, barely covered and had foam in the greater part of his body, he must have rushed from the bathroom and I burst out laughing. "Is this funny? Do I look funny to you?" He asked and joined in the laughter "What is so important that you had to scream my name like that?" He asked "Your phone has been ringing and I know how much you hate having to miss your calls" I noted "Yes, ma'am. I will check it only when I am done bathing" he answered and walked back to the bathroom The baby had kicked, perhaps in laughter too at his daddy's funny face. I had not told Gonzalez yet, I wanted it to be a surprise. When do I tell me that he would be having a son? Perhaps when I can get the contract, the one thing I desperately needed. "You alright?" He asked when he was done "Yeah, why?" I asked "You look like you are hiding s
Willa's pov"I have told you and your girls, times without a number, do not call me Willow. My name is Willa and not Willow" I said trying to control myself"How dare you talk back at me? What are you? Who are you? Imagine this bastard, daughter of a nobody, ..." I had silenced her with a slap before she finished. This time, I put all the anger in me into it. She was going to learn to never speak to me in that manner again, never disrespectfully, ever again, this I would make sure of. I took her by the collar and pinned her to a wall, only then did I begin to land karate kicks to her tummy muttering the words, "next time you see me, pass the other way."I turned to her friends and said, "anyone has something to say?" No one said anything, all her friends moved back and watched her groaning in pain and could not do anything, "I thought as much. You all are chickens, anyone else ever talks shit to me or about me will get twice as much as what she git today" I said pointing to every on
Willa's povI have seen my dad this way, he admitted that he was wrong or agrees with me on anything at all. This was shocking, I do hope that I was not having one of those silly dreams I usually have when I sleep.A few seconds passed and I knew this was real, my dad was to see things my way. Was this what it required? A fight? Why did I not think of this earlier? "Dad, are you sure about this?" I asked when I finally found my voice and the right words would not come. "Yes, I am more than serious. You should know by now when I am serious and when I am not" he said "I do not want to leave the school because of that girl, she would think I bowed to her and she would go round telling the whole school that I was expelled because I laid my hands on her, I would not let that happen. She would only use the opportunity to bully other students like myself who have decided to take the silent route" I said reasonably"I am impressed that you think of it that way but that should not be our ma
Willa's povMy auntie Olivia continued to meet more often all thanks to my uncle. Thankfully, we have been able to keep this away from dad with all his claims of being meticulous, this was one thing he could not figure out. Uncle would pick me up and take me to her and would do the same when we were done, making sure I get back into the house safely without being noticed. I wonder why he did all of that for me, he is one of the nicest people I have met. I knew he was putting himself at great risk should anything happen to me or dad were to find out, he would sure as hell be losing his job and trust in his father. I guess both of us (myself and auntie Olivia) needed each other's company. She had confessed to me that for most of her life, she had been lonely. I told her she was lucky, that I for one has been lonely all my life"But, you have your dad," she said"Yes, I do and at the same time, I do not. He is always busy with one thing or the other and never seems to have time. I am n
Mr. Davies's povWhenever he hesitated in that manner, I knew he was trying to choose his words carefully. I was trying to get to the root of this so I decided to ask him if he had been in contact with Olivia. I had to look out for all the possible reasons that he might want to reach out to Olivia and all the other reasons he would not. Thinking of all the times he had told me to let go of Olivia as she was not the right one for me. If he did bring her back, why now? Could Arnold be the traitor? Going into the house, I found Willa watching her favorite show on TV, she loved it so much that anything she watched, she would laugh so hard and long. She seemed to notice that I had come in and decided to put off the Tv as I would always scold her for watching TV shows that late."Go on, you can watch all you want today. Actually, not all just this show because you have to go to bed when it ends. You are lucky I am in a good mood today" this had her smiling and she ran over to where I wa
Willa's povIt was difficult to fall asleep, thinking about what it was dad wanted to discuss with me. What could it be I wondered, a thousand thoughts crossed my mind, did he find out about my little escapade with uncle Arnold? If so, I had to come up with a very good excuseMaybe I should call uncle I thought, we could share ideas should in case dad asks me about it. Ah, it was too late to call someone, I should call him tomorrow.The night went by very fast for I could not believe that it was morning. I mean, it felt like I just slept for five minutes. I thought to call uncle Arnold but I decided against it. I was growing, I should learn to handle things by myself now and not depend on anyone else. I could use the school now, I thought. If had been going to school, I would have had the perfect excuse for this morning and braced myself up for whatever it is. "Let me just get on with it already," I said, rather too loud to myself. I had a cup of coffee and went downstairs to check o
Eloise's povMr. Davies seemed to have a lot of things going on with him recently. Whenever we are together, he looked like he was bothered about something, always lost in his thoughts"Eloise?" He called sounding serious "Date me, officially" "What?" I finally uttered. I was speechless, I was not expecting that and not for him to do it so plainly. Do not get me all wrong, I like him. I think what I feel for him is more than like but considering that I know he runs a drug cartel makes it scares me. What would I tell my family? That I fell in love with a Don Pedro? Everything was just happening quickly, too quickly in fact. "You are silent""Uh, yes, I mean it is too sudden don't you think?""It is the first time I have felt this way about a woman in years so I do not think it is sudden," he said calmly "I understand, I have not been in a relationship too for a very long time more reason I think we need time to process our feelings and not try to rush things up""You do not trust m
