I Can't Love You, Talik

#EnemiesToLovers Years ago, Therman Blake and Daliana were in a relationship that produced a daughter. However, it was a toxic relationship that had a drastic end. Daliana was left devastated when Therman left her to the ill fate that he'd put her in. Then, Deveron came to her rescue and healed the gaping wound that his best friend had left in the heart and soul of Daliana Mills. A generation later, Therman had adopted a son with the trophy wife that he'd married -- his second marriage -- Talik Blake. Now, Talik met a stunningly gorgeous lady, Hanita, who he couldn't get off his mind even though she was a thorn in his flesh at their workplace. Soon, he found himself taking home thoughts about Hanita -- imagining fantasies about her. Hanita, on the other hand, hated Talik's guts. He was a good-looking man and was fully aware of that fact -- it irked her. Women in the office threw themselves at him and she wondered why. 'He wasn't all that,' she would often think to herself. However, after they'd been assigned to do a job together, Hanita noticed that she'd been too hasty to conclude about Talik. She told her mother and half-sister about her 'co-worker' and it simply went downhill from there. * * * Join me on this turbulent journey :)

Do You Listen To Yourself?

Deveron felt a sting in his heart. The fact that he wasn't the one who fathered Carnise didn't matter to him. Right from the onset, Deveron had taken Carnise as his daughter. The love he had for Hanita was no different from the one he felt for Carnise. From when he married Darliana, he took Carnise like his own. In fact, he had long since forgotten that it wasn't his sperm that produced her.

But now, here she was rubbing it in his face like he had failed her. She spoke as if he had not showered her with love and made sure she lacked nothing. Deveron didn't know where he went wrong with Carnise after he had tried his best to raise her side by side with Hanita.

"She's healing, Carnise..." Deveron said. "I don't think she will want all the yappings and the bickering!"

"You think I'm bickering, right?" Carnise asked. "I have questions that only her can answer!"
