DARLA'S POINT OF VIEW

I've been running for what feels like an eternity. The past few days have been a blur. Three days, to be exact, since I arrived in Bali, seeking refuge from the chaos that consumed my life. Mr. Leo's words still echoed in my mind: 'Trust no one, but find solace in Bali's embrace."

The memories of that fateful night still haunted me - the sound of gunfire, the feel of the cold night air on my skin, my sobs. I thought I knew Daniel, loved him, but it was all a lie.

As I sat on the balcony of Grandma Amelia's house, overlooking the serene Bali landscape, I tried to process the revelations of the past few days.

My grandma, who I thought was dead, is alive and has been hiding secrets of her own. Secrets about my mother, about our family's past, about the truth that has been hidden from me for so long.

I took a deep breath, feeling the warm breeze on my skin, and I began to unravel the threads of my shattered life. I need to know the truth, no matter how painful

    DANIEL'S POINT OF VIEW I rushed to the hospital after receiving a call that Mrs. Matthew had finally awoken and was stable. It has been a week since my last visit, and I have been keeping a low profile, noticing that Amaya and my mother were watching my every move. As I arrived at the door of Mrs. Matthew's VIP ward, I took a deep breath and knocked before entering. Inside, I met a nurse tending to Mrs. Matthew, who immediately locked eyes with me. Her face turned pale with anger, and she hurled the nurse's equipment at me. "Get out of here!" she yelled, throwing a used injection syringe in my direction. I dodged swiftly, my eyes wide with surprise. The nurse tried to calm her down, but Mrs. Matthew was beyond consolation. "Tell this wicked man to leave! I don't want to see him!" she shouted, throwing a pair of scissors and her pillow at me. Her breathing was ragged, but I managed to dodge the objects as I approached her, my heart racing with concern. "Ma'am, please calm down.

  • A Lifetime With Her    The Box That Changed Everything

    DARLA'S POINT OF VIEW I huddled under the blankets, my heart still racing from the pizza delivery guy. I couldn't shake off the feeling of vulnerability. Grandma Amelia knocked on the door, her voice soft and gentle. "Darla, sweetie, come out. You can't stay in there forever." But I knew better. The world outside was full of assassins, and I wasn't going to let my guard down. I thought back to the moment when Grandma opened the door, expecting death, only to find a clueless delivery guy holding a steaming hot pizza. My mind had played a cruel trick on me, and I couldn't trust it anymore. "I'm fine, Grandma," I lied, trying to sound convincing. "Just need some rest." But the truth was, I was terrified. Terrified of what could be lurking outside, waiting to strike. Grandma Amelia tried to coax me out, her voice reassuring, but I resisted. My mind was a jumble of worst-case scenarios. What if the next knock was the real deal? What if they find me? I heard her sigh and whisper some

  • A Lifetime With Her    Jacob's Mysterious Lover

    DARLA'S POINT OF VIEW As I sat on the bed, I picked up the watch that had been in the box containing Jacob's belongings. Slipping it onto my wrist, I felt a surge of memories flood back - memories I thought were lost forever. Jacob, my older brother, was more than just a sibling; he was my hero. With his brown eyes, brown hair, and chiseled features, he had inherited our mom's striking appearance. Jacob died in a car accident. His body was ravaged by the intense flames. The only way we were able to identify him was through his trusty wristwatch, which he always wore. The watch now on my wrist was a strong reminder of that fateful day. This watch had been passed down from our dad to Jacob during happier times, when our family was whole. I remembered the "passing down rites" as we all called it, which was done on my graduation day, a joyous occasion that now seemed like a distant dream. Our family had been complete back then - Dad, Jacob, Mom, and I, occasionally joined by Grandma

    DARLA'S POINT OF VIEW "Mom?" I whispered, the knife slipping from my hand as I stumbled backward. This can't be real. This can't be happening, right? We both know the truth about what happened to her.My mother's eyes darted around, her brown hair disheveled, her gray eyes filled with panic. She looked distraught and unkempt, as if she had been running for her life. Beads of sweat coursed down her face, and her skin was pale, her lips almost white. She looked like she had risen from the dead."Is your grandma around?" she asked, her voice laced with despair, as she walked into the house and closed the door.“No, she went out.” I shook my head, my gaze fixed on the figure in front of me. The person I have been mourning for days. I couldn't believe it was my mother standing there. I tried to tell myself it was her, but it wasn't working. She's dead. So, who was this person in front of me? An imposter or someone hired by Daniel?"How are you doing, my dear?" the figure asked tenderly,

    DARLA'S POINT OF VIEW I voiced out in tears, "It's not just about that! You had surgery and never told me!" My mother's eyes widened in disbelief, darting around the room. "Who told you that?" she asked, her voice laced with concern. I rose to my feet, anger coursing through my veins. "What, I wasn't supposed to know? Well, joke's on you, because Grandma told me!" I exclaimed, my voice shaking. My mother muttered to herself, "Why would she do that?" But I caught it, and my emotions boiled over. "Why would she do that?!" I demanded, my breathing getting ragged. "You... you..." My words trailed off as my chest tightened, and I felt my body begin to crumble. Slowly, I sank to the floor, clutching my chest, unable to breathe. I felt life seeping out of me as my heart felt like it was being tied tighter with each labored breath. My mother rushed to my side, her voice gentle, her hands patting my back. "Deep breaths, Darla. You're having a panic attack.” "Stay away from me," I stru

  • A Lifetime With Her    The Truth From Mr. Leo

    DANIEL'S POINT OF VIEW "Daniel is still searching for Darla," Amaya said, her voice dripping with disdain. I had been eavesdropping on their conversation, a habit I'd developed since discovering my family's betrayal. Just hours before, we had sat down for breakfast, and I had pretended to leave for the office. But instead, I stayed behind, listening in on their discussion. "How did he find out what happened to Darla?" my mother asked, frustration lacing her voice. “Who else could have told him? It was Nancy, that annoying brat!” Amaya spat out. “I'll deal with her once she returns to work.” My mother vowed, her tone firm. “Don't bother; I'm sure brother has sent her somewhere to protect her. You won't find her.” Amaya responded. It's true; I had sent Nancy to the east side of the city, where she'll be safe, as I'm learning what my family will do when pushed. “I'll find her and end her for good!” my mother swore, anger coursing through her tone. Amaya's tone turned hushed.

    DANIEL'S POINT OF VIEW With a heavy heart and downtrodden spirit, I headed for my car after my conversation with Mister Leo. But then, it hit me - the real reason I had come to him. I sprinted back to Mister Leo just in time to see his ship sailing away. Our eyes locked, and he muttered, "You hurt her, Daniel. You killed them." His words struck me like a blow, my gaze faltering, my body weakening. I stood there, frozen, as the ship disappeared into the distance. The realization hit me like a tidal wave: Darla was truly gone. I never got to see her one last time. With that thought, I trudged back to my car and drove to the office, my mind numb. Thankfully, Florence had stalled the board members, but I wished she had canceled the meeting altogether. My mind was a jumble throughout the meeting, my thoughts flashing back to Mister Leo's gaze and his haunting words. Something didn't add up. Florence's voice broke through my reverie. "Sir?... Sir?" she asked, concern etched in her

    DANIEL'S POINT OF VIEW As James and I chatted at the bar, I caught something out of the corner of my eye. I leaned in, speaking in a hushed tone, "James, I think we're being watched. Don't look!" I warned, as he instinctively turned to glance around. "The guy to my left, wearing a black hat, is taking pictures of me. I'm not sure how long he's been doing it, but I just noticed. Casually turn and look, but don't let him notice." James nodded, picking up his whiskey glass, and as he raised it to his lips, he discreetly glanced in the direction I indicated. His eyes widened, but he quickly masked his concern with a laugh. "It's true, he's taking pictures of both of us," he said, patting me on the shoulder. I knew James was pretending to be nonchalant to avoid alerting the mysterious man. So, I played along, smiling broadly as I gritted my teeth. "What are we going to do?" I asked, trying to sound calm. James pulled out his phone, drawing me close as if sharing a joke, but actually sh

    AMAYA'S POINT OF VIEW Daniel has got to be kidding me."What?" I muttered in disbelief, my voice laced with venom."You heard me right, Amaya. Clean this up. Both of you," Daniel repeated, his voice firm, his gaze piercing.Inside, I was seething with rage, my fist clenched onto the rag tighter. Ever since he came back from work, he has done nothing but humiliate me in front of the guards and those filthy maids. He thinks he has power. He thinks he knows wickedness. I will show him what true venom looks like. I will not go down without a fight!"Yes, sir," my mother whispered, slowly approaching Daniel and dropping to the floor to pick up the glass pieces and put them into the rag."You've done enough, Rachel. Let Amaya clean up the rest," Daniel spoke, his gaze piercing into me, but I stared back at him with the same fierceness.My mother rose to her feet and took a stand near me, a silent show of solidarity. "Amaya, your turn," Daniel taunted, his voice dripping with condescension.

    DANIEL'S POINT OF VIEW “Guards, throw them out!” I thundered, my voice echoing off the walls. The guards sprang into action, approaching Amaya and my mother, who backed away in horror.My mother spoke frantically, her voice desperate. “What? You can't do this to us, Daniel! You told us to apologize, and we did! You can't throw us out of the house. It isn't fair!”“Yes, it isn't fair,” I replied. “Just like what you did to Darla wasn't fair. I had a change of heart, and now I don't want you to stay anymore.”Amaya snarled viciously. “I knew you wouldn't keep your end of the bargain. That's how you are - a liar and a cheat!”“Don't you get tired of getting slapped in the face?” I retorted. “With your bleeding lips, you still have the mouth to speak. Shut up already!”My mother pleaded, “Mi Ho, please, temper justice with mercy. We did our part; now you do yours.”I smirked, walked over to the couch, and sat down, gesturing for them to come closer. “Fine, I'll be merciful to you.”My mo

    DANIEL'S POINT OF VIEW “Please, Daniel, please let us stay. Have mercy on us. You know you're the only one we rely on. We don't know anyone else,” my mother pleaded, holding onto my feet.“That's none of my business,” I said, yanking my feet away. “Did you think about how Darla had nowhere to go when you sent those people after her? You can go back to Father for all I care.”My mother rose to her feet, begging frantically. “I admit what we did to Darla was horrible. But please don't punish us like this. You'll shame us in front of the whole world, Mi Ho.” Mi Ho means "my son" in our language. It was a term my mother used to call me often. It was the only time I could tell she was being sincere in her words, and as I gazed into her emerald green eyes, I saw the truth, but that still wouldn't break me. I have to punish them for what they did.“Oh, for Goodness’ sake, stop fooling yourself, Mother!” Amaya exclaimed.“Amaya Esperanza Gomez!” my mother yelled, her voice venomous. “One mo

You're no longer my family."My mother's eyes widened in shock as she spoke frantically, "What? You can't do that to us, Daniel! All because of that maid? We are your family!""Watch me," I said firmly, my voice cold.Amaya sneered, "So, you're going to abandon us because of someone who's not even alive? Well, I'm happy we got rid of her!"My rage boiled over, and I approached Amaya, hands closing around her neck. "Daniel, what are you doing?! You're going to kill her!" my mother yelled."Yes, I am going to kill her! She killed Darla and shows no remorse. She deserves to die like Darla did!" I spat, my grip tightening."Brother..." Amaya whimpered, her voice barely audible as she fought to free herself.But I was blinded by rage, wanting Amaya to suffer like Darla did. "She's passing out, Daniel!

    DANIEL'S POINT OF VIEW I screeched to a halt in the front yard of my mansion, barely bothering to park. My anger had reached a boiling point, and I couldn't contain it. My teeth gritted, and my veins were popping out. I threw open the car door, leaped out, and hurled the keys at a guard. "Take care of it!" I barked, before storming towards the house.As I approached the living room, I thundered, "Amaya! Amaya Gomez! Mrs. Rachel Gomez!" My voice echoed through the halls, making the windows rattle.Amaya and my mother rushed down the stairs, concern etched on their faces. "What's going on, brother? What has made you so angry?" Amaya asked sweetly, darting anxious glances at my mother, as if seeking answers.But even she remained clueless about the cause of my anger."Yes, my son, what seems to be the matter?" My mother asked calmly as she tried to approach me.But I was beyond reason. "Don't you dare take another step!" I yelled, jabbing a finger at her. She flinched, retreating back

    DANIEL'S POINT OF VIEW After my phone conversation with Nancy, I immediately headed for the family mansion, anger coursing through my veins like venom. As I stormed out, Florence tried to brief me on something, but her words were cut short when she saw the fury on my face."Sir, we have to go over the—" she started, but I gritted my teeth and glared at her, silencing her. She wisely gave way, allowing me to pass.I drove home with reckless abandon, my grip on the steering wheel so tight that my knuckles turned white. As I sped through the streets, I tried to calm my ragged breathing, but the more I thought about everything that had been done to Darla, the more my breathing grew shallow and my heart thumped faster in my chest.Running my hands through my hair, my mind flashed back to the particular day when Darla had wanted to tell me about the pregnancy. It was the night before I left for New York. She was cuddled up with me in my bed, and I had made her stay behind while we spent th

    DANIEL'S POINT OF VIEWIt's been days since the bar incident, and Troy has been cooperative, sharing every conversation between Madame A and him with me. However, the more I listen to the recordings, the more I suspect that my family might not be behind the threats. Someone else might be targeting me, and I have another potential enemy to worry about.As I sat in my office, reviewing a document, my mind kept wandering. Troy was supposed to send me yesterday's report, but I hadn't received it yet. Not even this morning. I'm getting worried. Could he have gone rogue? Or does Madame A know about our arrangement? What if she had him killed?I took a deep breath and leaned back in my chair. The deal with Huang Steel, the company's upcoming anniversary, Darla's death, and Mrs. Ana's disappearance all swirled in my head. The weight of everything is crushing me, and I'm not sure if I can stay strong.Just then, my phone rang. "Troy," I muttered, seeing the unknown number on my screen. We had

    Daniel leaned down, his tongue tracing circles around my nipples as he continued to thrust into me, his rhythm relentless, his touch bringing me closer and closer to the brink of ecstasy."Yes," I moaned, my body arching as the heat of his mouth sent shivers down my spine. "Daniel, please, please don't stop."His tongue flicked against my nipple, his breath hot and heavy as he drove me to the edge of insanity.I tangled my fingers in Daniel's hair, pulling his mouth harder against me as he continued to lick and suck at my breast, his tongue teasing and tormenting as he thrust into me with increasing urgency."Darla," he growled, his voice rough with need. "You're driving me wild."I moaned in response, my body writhing against his as I pulled his hair, urging him on."More, Daniel," I pleaded. "I want more."My fingers dug into Daniel's back, my nails scraping against his skin as I sought to hold on to him, to anchor myself in the midst of this heat of pleasure.Daniel responded with

    DARLA'S POINT OF VIEW The water lapped gently against our skin, the rose petals floating around us, their soft scent filling the air. Daniel's lips were on mine, his tongue teasing, his kiss intense and passionate. My body was thrumming with desire, my heart beating against his chest. His fingers trailed down my body, tracing patterns on my skin before they came to rest at the sensitive nub of my clit. A gasp escaped my lips as he began to stroke and caress me, the sensation building like a slow-burning flame. As his fingers moved, I arched into his touch, a moan escaping my lips as pleasure coursed through my body. His mouth on mine intensified, our tongues tangled in a passionate embrace. I could feel the heat between us rising, the water rippling as our bodies moved together. His fingers slid lower, their rhythm changing as he began to slide them into me, slowly at first, then with increasing urgency. I gasped, my body tensing with pleasure, my hips lifting off the water's sur
