MALIA… The satiny sheets of the bed smelled of the woman Larson made love to last night. Being naked with him on the bed was the most natural, right, and incredible experience, his heartbeat was strong and steady, the thick arm wrapped around me as it had been when he took my body to the haze of pleasure for the last time before falling asleep and the memories of that sweet moment imploded into my head. Everything that happened between us last night was with passion and tenderness, a combination that made me fall even harder for this side of him that had kept me company for weeks and protected me. His deep and husky voice, his perfect stature, and the way he looks at me, I removed his hand slowly avoiding making a sound so I wouldn't stir him up from his deep sleep and my feet touching the cold floor. Retrieving my lingere from the bed which was laying disposed at the end side, I was about to put it on when a hand captured my arm in a steel grip and my eyes lit up at the sight of La

LIYA… "No! You won't force me to pay heed to your uncalled request, you're in this condition only because of him" mum said firmly and her voice echoeing in the walls of the hospital room. "Mum are you really being serious right now? just give me one reason why you resent Larson so much. In the past you were so fond of him then what happened to you all of a sudden?" I asked weakly with an oxygen pipe placed under my nose to help with my breathing. "Yeah I would admit there was a time I did like him and I wanted nothing more than the two of you to settle down in life and I didn't deny that anyways but after everything that happened on that night I became a shattered mother, if only he had come to you earlier then you wouldn't have had to suffer so much" she said, her eyes filled with tears. "It's been five long years now and you still haven't forgotten about it, this is so silly of you to think like that mum, you know he isn't to blame for what ever happened to me on that terrible ni

MALIA… Dropping his arms which were clamped round her waist, he stepped back and she wiped her mouth staring up at him as though he had initiated the incident, she smiled knowingly and scornfully and her tiny dimple danced at the corner of her full lips, her eyes mocking me. A trickle of jealousy moved through me wishing he could share half of the love he has for Liya with me but I dismissed it unwilling thinking about the man I slept with and began to love in less than two months. I only smiled faintly and sighed as if to say that this was no more than I had expected, I remembered the connection that existed between Larson and Liya and all I could do was watch the two of them and control my tears especially knowing that this was at least partly my fault. "Words can't express how relieved I feel to see you, why didn't you call me up? I would have come to pick you" Larson said guiding her head to his shoulders. "Then it wouldn't have been a surprise, so baby I need to know the pill y

MALIA… I was driving along the roadside with my thoughts lingering on whatever transpired in the office. I didn't expect her to regain consciousness so soon, instead of taking rest so she can recover fully she decided to come and claim Larson. "How dare she!" I muttered and banged my hand on the steering wheel as I tried to get hold of my emotions. Yeah I have finally admitted that I love him and I don't care what anyone thinks about me but I know the pain of how it feels to be cheated on that's why I can't bring myself to keep chasing after him knowing fully well his girlfriend is back and they love each other a lot but then why did he shift away when she kissed him? but then another issue came up right at hand when I noticed the brakes of my car wasn't working anymore and panic crept into my heart, it felt as though my stomach had been twisted but then I was grateful I had to use a deserted road because of the traffic jam on the main road otherwise many people would have had to los

LARSON… I opened my mouth to retort but the sound of the call hanging up sent panic rippling through my body and my breath came in quick with shallow gasps as anxiety and anger welled up inside me. I stepped away from Liya and turned towards the door dashing out in full speed and I didn't care to stop when she called my name severally. The thought of Malia being in danger ate me up so badly, I rushed out from the office like an obsessed lover and for some reason I knew my actions brought doubts in the employees minds and I'm sure they were all staring. I pressed the green button on the side and entered inside the elevator which landed me on the last floor and just then my phone beeped and a message flashing on my screen, it was the address of where he is keeping Malia captive. I stepped inside my car and turning the key I pressed my foot down sharply on the break pedal, I was extremely too panicked to care. I applied the brakes and the dust cloud caught up, cloaking the road so thick
