NEXT DAY - (Wed, 26 February 2020)

Kiara's POV

The kids and I just had breakfast and I was about to get ready to take the kids for a walk and at the same time we get to do a little grocery shopping as well, when I received a call from work, I had totally forgotten that I had a lunch meeting today with a potential investor that's interested in joining our non-profit project. I think this whole mess with Gio, Dimitri and then the argument between Steph and I is what messed me up completely. But I had to put that out of my mind because if I don't I'll go insane and what use would be to anyone then, let a lone my kids including my unborn child.

As soon as I finished the call, I had called up Clarissa to see if she could maybe come by and watch the kids for me today because right after my meeting I have to head into the office to grab a few of my files as well as drop off the paperwork that I had completed, thankfully she happily agreed to babysit because she loves the twins and obviously don't get to see them that often anymore. Deciding to get dressed before Clarissa gets here because I had told her that I needed to be somewhere by lunch time and as soon as she arrives I can head out, so I took out my white knee length dress instead of the yoga pants I had originally planned on wearing.

As soon as Clarissa came which was nearly 2 hours later, I was out the door with Paul right behind me and Simon Waiting by the car, yes that's how it's been for the past few months. Everywhere I go I have two guys follow me around one being my driver and the other my gaurd, it annoys me like crazy but I know that it's necessary and that it's Steph's way of feeling at ease that he has men watching over me and our kids, why he does that I don't know because he doesn't even know who we are and he clearly hates me, so it doesn't make sense. As soon as we got to the restaurant I had about half an hour to prepare while waiting for the client at the table, at Per Se restaurant.

3 HOURS LATER

I'm currently on my way back to the office, happily might I add because I have good news to give my boss, and for the first time I felt a bit uplifted because maybe my whole life has not gone to shit as of yet because that's how I've been feeling these last few months, it's been one step forward and then ten steps back for both Steph and I. After my lunch meeting I thought to myself that maybe just maybe there's hope not just for me but most especially for Steph and our family. I was brought out of my thoughts when the car stopped infront of my office building.
