Chapter: EpilogueTwo Years LaterKamara’s POV“Mama!” Axel ran on his little feet towards me.“My baby.” I cooed, lifting him off the floor.His nanny, Diane met with us panting heavily. “I am so sorry, miss. He began to run the moment his feet touched the ground.”I laughed, kissing his forehead. “Is that so, Axel? Have you been bothering Aunt Diane?”He held up his cheeky smile, shaking his full head. “No mama.” The mischief was clear in his eyes. He is so much like his father.“Okay, baby. Mama believes you. But do not be a bother to Aunt Diane, remember you have to be a good boy okay? Mama has to go now. I will see you soon, my love. I love you.”“I love you too.” He replied in his childlike voice before going back to his nanny. Taking a deep breath, I went into the dressing room to get myself together. After my masters acquisition in fashion school, I am finally having my first fashion show to reveal my new collection. The anxiety that has crippled me in the past four months of working intensely

Chapter: Chapter 106Two Months LaterKamara’s POV“You should go to bed now, Nana.” I urged, kneeling in front of her.Nana held up a weak smile, caressing my face. “Is he still being adamant? How will he take his pills if he refuses to eat?”I sighed, “I think he is just trying to wrap his head around the whole situation. I will do my best to talk to him.”“You must be stressed after the whole trip back and forth.”“Not at all. I am just glad that we have you to lean on.”She hummed, “Thank you for coming back, Kamara. I know my boy isn't deserving of you, but thank you for being by his side when you didn’t have to.”“Axel needs his father, I only did what I thought was best. You should go and rest now.”“Alright, I can't say no to you.” She chuckled, getting on her feet.I helped her upstairs, tucking her into the bed before leaving. Had to check on Axel too. He was sound asleep, handsome as ever with his innocent look. It's been over two months of emotions swirling. After Diego collapsed in New York,

Chapter: Chapter 105Kamara’s POV“It was you right?” I queried Chantelle the moment she stepped in.Her face was blank. “Tell me what?”“You gave Diego this address. No one else knows this except you.”“What if I did? Is that enough reason for you to leave him out there?”I couldn’t believe the audacity in her response. “Are you kidding me right now, Chantelle? That man is the reason I am broken. Yet you who call yourself my friend, brought him here. What sort of game are you trying to play? Are you intending to open up a can of worms?”Chantelle sucked her teeth, “Maybe opening the stupid can of worms is what will make you heal. You think I don’t hear you? The wails at night while you work? Is it the needles that are making you cry? Only two weeks here and I can feel the depth of your pain. You hide it so well during the day, but what happens when night falls, the city goes quiet and you are only left with your thoughts. Is it not until you lose your mind that you decide to address it? I am your friend

Chapter: Chapter 104Diego’s POVA light yawn escaped my lips as I plopped into the comfy couch. “How are you settling in? Do you find the hotel to your liking?” Fernando asked on the other end of the line.“Hmm, it's good. Thanks for making it happen in such a short time.”“You don’t know how glad I am that you eventually gave in to this. I was almost losing my mind watching you wither away. Damn! You are stubborn, Diego. Ensure you get her to respond to you no matter what.” His words sounded like a threat.“I can only do my best.”“Do everything you would, you have to return with her. Have you confirmed where she would be?”“Yes, Chantelle already sent me the house address. I am shocked she is doing this for me.” I mused, still surprised by the gesture.Fernando rolled his eyes, “My girl can be sweet too you know? Don’t be such an ass.”“Right, you two are a perfect fit for each other.”“Anyway, did you remember to hold your pill?” he asked in a low tone.I grumbled a bit even though he had every reaso

Chapter: Chapter 103Kamara’s POVChantelle beamed brightly at me, her eyes dancing in amusement. “How was class today?” Chuckling with an eye roll, I replied. “Something tells me that is not the response you are expecting from me. You keep jumping on a video call like there is something you are seeking.”“You can't blame me. Not after I set my eyes on that hunk in your class. Who would have thought men like him would study fashion design?” she giggled.I slapped my forehead in disbelief. “Sometimes I wonder what planet you dropped from. You are talking like you have been locked up in a shell for ages. Men are into fashion design, we have a chunk of them in the industry. Moreover, I will advise you to take your mind off him.”“Why? Do you suddenly have an interest in him?”“Don’t be crazy. I am going to stop answering your calls from now on if you won't stop obsessing over the unattainable man.”“Try all you want. You won’t be stopping me from getting what I want because I just got my internship approved

Chapter: Chapter 102Diego’s POVThe pain seared through my spine making me gasp for breath. I searched the drawer hastily for the pills. It didn’t surprise me when I saw that it remained just two. I have been consuming it a lot in the past few weeks, which has done nothing to ease the pain. Instead, each experience leaves me weaker than the last. Groaning, I popped the pills into my mouth and chugged them down with whiskey. I ignored the twist going on in my belly, staring lifelessly at the wall. From a distance, I can hear Axel crying. It made my earache. It's been two weeks since Kamara decided to leave us. Since then I haven’t stayed in the house beyond a few hours. Can't bring myself to look Axel in the face. Maybe because he reminds me so much of his mother or the guilt of being undeserving of an innocent soul like him, I never would have indulged in this mess if I knew it was going to mess me up this much. It makes no sense that Kamara will just leave after everything we have been through togethe

Chapter: Chapter 39Adrian’s POVMy head aches like it might split in two for relief's sake. This is why I hate drinking irresponsibly. I have never been able to handle myself when I get drunk. There is a limit to what I can consume. But I wanted to go numb so bad, it just felt like the right decision. Sitting up on the bed, I fluttered my lashes a couple of times to know where I am. The room looked like a hotel room. I don’t remember lodging in last night. Groaning, I grabbed a fistful of my hair and sat on the edge of the bed. Rubbing at my tired face, I let out a shocked sigh when I placed my feet on the cold floor and the memories of last night flooded my head. I wanted to slap my forehead to rebuke myself for acting out. But I couldn’t do so to avoid worsening the headache. I wonder what Briar thinks of me now. The reckless outburst and vomit must have thrown her off. I had blanked out afterwards which must be why I don’t remember being brought to the hotel.That must have been a lot for Briar to h

Chapter: Chapter 38Briar’s POVI leaped back at the pour of puke, too stunned to scream as I flared my nose in irritation. Adrian staggered for a few seconds, wincing probably at the stale taste of his puke. He rubbed his face a couple of times and tried to remain steady. Then he suddenly held my gaze. “Briar…..” Adrian let out in a soft tone before falling against me. Thankfully I caught his shoulder with both hands preventing us from falling into his vomit. He reeked of it too. I didn’t think he was the type to get this drunk. He is such a lightweight. A string of curses escaped my lips. If anyone had told me that I was going to handle this sort of mess when all I wanted was a glass of wine away from home, I would have just stayed back and locked myself up in my room. I looked around for anyone to help me with him but there wasn’t anyone nearby. I had to shake him awake. “Adrian, where is your car?” I inquired. He threw his arm out lazily, his words almost inaudible. “There.” Huffing in frustra

Chapter: Chapter 37Adrian’s POVAfter driving aimlessly for hours, I eventually ended up at a bar. It was the only thing I could do before I ended up going to Briar’s house to embarrass myself. “What would you like to have sir?” The bartender asked. “Gin and tonic. Keep the gin heavy.” I replied. “You got it.” My drink was ready in no time. To shut off my distorted feeling, I downed the glass in one go and asked for another. It sizzled down my throat and seemed to do a good job at dissolving the tension I felt. “Hello, pretty lady. What do you want me to get you?” The bartender inquired in a friendly tone. “Red wine please.” The customer replied. Even in my daze, there is no way I wouldn’t know whose voice that is. I turned my head and it was really her. I chugged down half of my drink, swallowing with difficulty. It is my fourth glass. “What are the odds? Did you fight with hubby?” I couldn’t resist the spite in my voice. “Adrian?” Briar called out—a flash of shock on her face before it return

Chapter: Chapter 36Adrian’s POV“This is unbelievable!” Isadora blurted dramatically when we got into the car. “It's always the innocent-looking ones. Who would have thought Briar had such a vile attitude? A child as grown as that with her team leader? I am stunned.” She cackled, covering up her face. My grip tightened around the steering wheel as I focused on the road.“Why aren’t you saying anything, Adrian?” she asked, pausing. “Wait a minute…you knew about it? How?” “What do you think about the exhibition ground for the aquarium?” I asked, shifting the topic to the exact reason why we were at the aquarium earlier. Isadora sucked her teeth, folding her arms. “Well, this is not an official work day so I am not obliged to answer that question. What I need to know is why you said nothing about Briar getting involved with another man. Shouldn’t you sue her, really? She made a fool of you and pretended to be dead. Are we just going to turn a blind eye to it?”I took in a sharp breath, clenching my jaw

Chapter: Chapter 35Briar’s POV“Mummy, see that octopus!” Knox squealed in excitement, pressing his finger against the tunnel tank that harbored the sea folks. I gasped at the enormous sight of the octopus. Many of the animals were big and weird. The sharks and sea turtles had me staring in disbelief. I have never been to an aquarium. This is the first time for me and me. When we walked in, I saw many parents with their young children, all excited and running around. I felt guilty for not taking Knox to a space like this earlier. But he made me realize it was in fact a good decision to have waited until this moment. He was practically going mad. Making Liam chase him. None of our warnings was heard. It appears the space makes children act out due to excitement. I would have screamed in frustration if it were just the two of us and I had to run after him every time he saw something mindblowing. I might sound like a terrible mother, but I genuinely do not like to lie to myself. Liam picked him off the f

Chapter: Chapter 34Briar’s POV“Was it just me or did Isadora seem to be trying to put down your work?” Liam noted, taking a long sip of his water.I tapped my finger gently on the table, the food in my mouth going watery as I had been chewing for a long time. “I am more surprised that Adrian didn’t seem put off and has signed off on the project,” I admitted. As always Isadora couldn’t hide her claws. For every meeting we had regarding project approval, she shut down my opinions and listened to others while ignoring the actual brains behind the task. Since I knew she was doing it out of spite, I didn’t let myself be bothered. Aside from Liam, Adrian was always waving her off, which is quite bothersome. Rissa smacked her lips. “Is he supposed to have a problem with it? You did a good job. It is only right that you get commended for it.”“You don’t know him as I do.” I sniffed, sitting up. “he doesn’t act without a reason. I have a feeling that this might not turn out well.” “You have been hammering on
