Danielle's POVNow I was beginning to understand why he was always so cocky and arrogant. He practically lives in a freaking mansion, with an army of menacing, armed men patrolling the whole place. He was more than just wealthy, he was definitely powerful and not someone to be trifled with. I didn't care too much about that at the moment though.A gate was suddenly opened for me, making it the third gate I was going through. My eyes caught the sight of a black helicopter, resting on a landing pad and I struggled to hide my amazement. I needed to appear as mad as possible, when I finally see him.And just as that thought crossed my mind, he finally emerged from where seemed to be the main entrance to the grand mansion. He was clad in a blue tuxedo, a pair of glasses covering his eyes and making him look like some hot villain in a TV series. Three men were also following behind him, making me frown and halt in my track. Why does he have to carry about so much security? What's so specia
Danielle's POVIt has been a whole week since the whole incident with my father. He was already far away from us, but I couldn't help being scared sometimes. Oliver on the other hand, seemed to be completely over the incident. He went about his daily activities without fear or worry, almost like he'd totally forgotten about our father.Brandon, that six foot tall, blue eyed, dangerous looking man. I hadn't seen him since then, and I'd like to assume that he had probably moved on now, and is no longer interested in whatever fantasies he had about me. I should probably move out of this apartment, as he was now literally my landlord. After what happened with Jordan, I wasn't looking forward to having anything to do with any man, at the moment. The more I think of them, I realize just how ruthless and cruel they can be. Brandon was definitely not any different, as I have seen. If anything, he should be worse.The way he had those armed men around him, I swear he runs a mafia or probably
[ A/N: 18+ scene up ahead. Readers are to expect more scenes like this, as the book progresses. ]Danielle's POVThe intensity of his gaze, the firmness of his hands, as they pinned mine to the bed. Brandon was an absolute pleasure beast.His blue eyes ran down my body, leaving a trail of unquenchable flames, flames that I'd gladly allow to consume me. With his other free hand, he pried my legs open, spreading then widely apart.A rumbling sound resonated from his chest, and I felt my pussy throbbing with so much need. I could practically feel myself drowning in my own wetness at this point."Brandon..." A moan left my lips, as his fingers casually brushed against my very moist and sensitive clitoris. He was teasing me, and was clearly enjoying every minute of it.Brandon's wicked gaze suddenly met mine. He didn't break eye contact, even as he flicked his fingers rapidly inside me, playing me like a fucking musical instrument. He was mumbling some Italian words to me, but I couldn't b
Danielle's POVThe results were even more chaotic than we had initially anticipated. Sam had uploaded the pictures into everyone's devices, and the whole school was going wild.Most, if not all of the students had their phones out, laughing and making mockery of what they were looking at. Some of them were showing it to their friends."Whoa!" I gasped, as I watched the reactions on people's faces. Some were just amused, some disgusted and some were just straight up judgemental. It was just like their reaction to me being a stripper, except this time, I was enjoying it."You haven't even seen the best part." Sam said, as he emerged from behind me, his gaze fixed on a classroom, down the school hallway.I watched Jordan come out of the classroom, a very angry and enraged expression on his face. Some of his friends were busy trying to snatch the phones off other students. I could easily see how upset they all were, especially as Mia walked away from Jordan. It brought a satisfied smile t
Danielle's POVI let out a groan, as my eyes fluttered open, only to realize that I was in a totally unfamiliar environment.Sitting up in a king sized bed, I looked around the dimly lit room, with a confused frown on my face. I had a slight throbbing at the back of my head, and my hand instinctively reached up to rub it. "Hello!?" I called out to anyone who may be around, as I was still feeling a bit woozy and disoriented.The memories of what happened before I got knocked out, finally hit me and I sprung up from the bed. The door suddenly swung open, and two young ladies walked in. From how they were dressed, they looked like housekeepers or maids. I eyed them warily."Miss Owens!" The younger looking one greeted, making my frown deepen. How does she know my name?"We've come to see if there's anything you need." She said, and I just looked on in confusion."What?!" I choked out."We're here to attend to you, on the orders of the Boss. Please tell us how we can be of assistance." S
Brandon's POVI didn't realize that having her this close to me would be a problem. I mean, she was now in my house and I should be happy about that, right?I couldn't bring myself to get a wink of sleep, after my conversation with her, last night. There was just something about her that made me fucking restless. Was it those pair of hazel eyes? Or the sweet strawberry scent from her lengthy, brown hair? Or was it the way that nightgown hugged her body so tight, to the point where I could see the outline of her pointy nipples? Fuck! She was effortless at the art of seduction, and I couldn't tell if she was doing it on purpose or not.All I could think of was how to yank that flimsy gown off her body, and have her all night. However, I realized I had to play it smart with her. I had to earn her trust, as she was a really tough cookie. It only made her more intriguing, as I thought of the many ways I could break her. Those wild, nasty thoughts filled my head, even as I sat in my luxuri
Danielle's POVIt's been over a week since Brandon moved us into his mansion, and Oliver seemed to be enjoying his stay.He was always attended to, by the numerous staff and housemaids. They'd feed him, run baths for him and essentially spoil him. I didn't know how to feel about the new development, and I haven't seen Brandon around for a while."Miss Owens, your bath!" Anissa, one of the maids, called out to me from the bathroom, making me groan out in frustration. Why does she have to be so formal with me?I arrived the bathroom, taking off my robe and sinking into the fancy bathtub. Here, I didn't need to worry about the water charges or even any other bills. It felt like...royalty. "You know you don't need to remain there till I'm done with my bath, right?" I told Anissa, as I washed myself."Oh it's the Bo...""Boss's orders again, gotcha!" I rolled my eyes, eliciting a chuckle from her. "He's not even here, don't you guys ever have a break?" I asked, turning to look at her.Sh
Danielle's POV"Haven't they got hoodies? I really can't wear this!" I said, as I stepped out of a dressing room in a skimpy, red dress."Yes, you can." Brandon said, as his eyes ran down my exposed curves.The dresses were nice and all, but I kept thinking about my plans to run away later today. Wouldn't make sense for him to be spending this much money on something I wasn't really going to be wearing.I wanted to throw a reply back at him, when the owner of the store suddenly emerged with more dresses, making me sigh in exasperation. Brandon just relaxed on a sofa, his legs crossed, as he sipped some kind of tea from a small cup.I went back into the dressing room to change into yet another dress, while Brandon just eyed me with an unreadable expression.Soon enough, I was out in a black, high slit gown. It had tiny straps, and showed off a little more skin. Looking at myself in the mirror, I looked... expensive.I took in a deep breath, before walking out of the dressing room, to s
Danielle's POVHe came back to me! Brandon came back to me, after six months in a coma, after six months of helplessly waiting for a miracle. He made my nightmares disappear with just his presence."Momma!" My four years old son exclaimed, right before hugging my legs. From the looks of it, he went fishing again with his father.He looked up at me with his big, hazel eyes, and that was all I needed to confirm my suspicion. "Did you go fishing with your father again?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at him."Um...Aurora also came with us?" He confessed, making me roll my eyes, before bending down to meet his height."I wasn't going to punish you, Austin!" I said, making him sigh visibly in relief."Come on! Go ahead and call your sister. Dinner is almost ready." I told him, ruffling his hair fondly.My son's eyes grew even wider, and his face went a bit pale. It was like he suddenly remembered something that scared the hell out of him."What is it, Austin?" I asked, as he suddenly held o
A/N: Alright, readers! Since we're coming to the end of this book, allow me to present y'all with a happy chapter, lol! I promise you won't be mad this time.]Danielle's POVThe beeping of different monitors and his steady breathing, were the only sounds that kept me company. It's been what? Six months since I last looked into his vibrant, blue eyes.My stomach was now bigger, as I was slowly nearing my delivery date. However, I didn't think I could do any of that without him, without Brandon.I let out a sniffle, like I had been doing for over a million times, taking his large hand in my smaller ones, and squeezing lightly."There you are, Danny! Come on and have your bath now!" Aunt Mallory called out from the doorway. Her and Oliver had come all the way from Ohio, as soon as they heard of Brandon's... incident. They've been keeping me company ever since."I don't want to!" I answered her stubbornly, not wanting to take my eyes off Brandon's unconscious body, even for a moment. He w
Danielle's POV:I didn't realize I'd stopped running, until someone grabbed me by my wrist, and my eyes widened in terror. It was that Calaveros man from earlier; Diaz."Where do you think you're going?" He grinned sinisterly at me, before attempting to drag me off to the direction of their minivan.I started yelling, punching, kicking and scratching as much as I could, but it only seemed to anger him, as he kept tugging at my wrist. I let out a gasp, as a bullet suddenly went through his head, splattering blood all over my face. I watched him fall to the ground with a thud, and I turned around to look for who fired the shot. It was Micheal, and he kept gesturing for me to keep running towards the car.Looking down at the corpse before me again, I suppressed the urge to gag. He had a gun on him, and I bent down to take it from his lifeless hand. I'd seen men using guns before, so it shouldn't be too hard for me, right?Brandon was now clearly winning, as he stood over Sam, who was br
Danielle's POVA fight to the death? What the hell was he thinking? What sort of barbaric, mafia tradition is that? Why is it even a thing?I was suddenly dragged down from the vehicle I'd been boarding, and my eyes immediately started searching for Brandon. We were now on some sort of old, abandoned bridge, and armed Calaveros men were everywhere. I was yet to spot Brandon, even as Sam slowly emerged from behind me. He was shirtless, giving me a much clearer view of his tattoo adorned body. I glared at him."What's the matter, Dee? Nervous?" He smirked at me.I made a move to lunge at him with an attack, but one of his men was quick enough to hold me back, making me groan out in frustration."You won't get away with any of this. I promise you!" I threatened. In that moment, I had finally realized what Sam truly is, who he truly is; an enemy!A minivan finally arrived at the bridge, and all attention were on it. Immediately it stopped, Brandon came out from the back, wincing slightly
Danielle's POVWith one arm around my neck, Sam forcefully dragged me along, towards the noise of the ongoing gun battle. He had a gun pointed to my head, which he used to threaten me to move. I struggled as much as I could, while he just kept laughing like some evil villain."No matter.... what...you do.." I managed to say, as his arms were literally choking me.He loosened up, when he realized I was saying something, and I took that opportunity to gasp for breath, before speaking."No matter what you do, Sam. I'll never love you." I spat at him.For a moment, I thought I saw the old Sam, the one I'd always trusted. His eyes widened in an emotion that resembled... regret? He was however quick to get rid of the look, as soon as it came."This isn't about you, anymore." He seethed, tightening his hold on my neck again and dragging me along.I continued to struggle against his hold, as I we moved closer to the direction of the gunfight.Soon, we were in some sort of courtyard, which w
Brandon's POV"I'm sorry Brandon, I should have told you earlier." Those were her last words, before Sam snatched the phone from her. He wasn't lying about her carrying my child. How could I be so careless and stupid?"Boss...it's a trap. You can't just go like that?" Micheal said to me, suddenly coming to stand in my way, as I had been moving towards my car."Move!" I growled at him, but he wouldn't budge. The rest of my men just stood, watching us in silence."You're not thinking straight, right now." Micheal complained."Of course I'm not. Didn't you hear that bastard? He has my family and he's threatened to harm them if I don't show up!" I yelled right into Micheal's face."He's trying to goad you!" Micheal argued."What will you have me do, then?" I yelled even louder."Will you prefer that I let them die?" "That's not what I said." Michael said, his voice cracking. I knew my words struck a nerve. His own family had been murdered in front of him, a long time ago. It was a very
Brandon's POVI was looking right at the scene before me, but I was too afraid to accept what might have happened. There was need for a closer inspection.This was obviously one of my cars, and it was destroyed almost beyond recognition. My legs moved me faster towards the scene, as I feared the worst. Anissa and Danielle aren't in there, right?"This is bad!" One of my men said, as he approached me, Micheal following right behind me.My men had found this scene first, in their search for Anissa and Danielle, who were supposed to be on their way to join me for tonight's date. They contacted me, and I had begun running here, as fast as I could."We found two bodies, boss. They are badly burnt, but we were still able to save what we can." Micheal announced, making me hold my breath for a second. He just said "two bodies"!"Let me see them." I grunted, shoving Micheal out of my way, as I advanced towards the scenery. It wouldn't be long before the cops show up, so we needed to be quick h
Danielle's POVPanic coursed through me, as Sam finally closed the gap between us. I found myself backing away from him and turning around to make a run for it. All my warning bells were ringing like crazy, and I knew something unpleasant was about to happen.I instinctively ran towards Anissa, who had been standing there all along. I tried to drag her along with me, but she suddenly pushed me to the ground with one swift motion, leaving me more stunned than terrified.I now had beach sand all over my face, as I raised up my head to look at her. I searched her eyes, and I was taken aback by the look of indifference in them. She looked down at me with so much coldness, I couldn't recognize her anymore. That was when I started making sense of what was happening."I've done what you asked." She said, finally facing Sam, who had a gleeful look in his eyes."You wanted her, she's here." Anissa said again, pointing at me, as I remained in my spot, too stunned to move."I can see that!" Sam
Danielle's POVTonight I was finally going to let Brandon know. I was going to let him know that I was carrying his child; our child.I already had a whole week to think about it and now I was convinced that telling him might not be such a bad idea, afterall. The possibility of starting a family with him, got me so excited and I just couldn't wait.I looked at my reflection in the mirror with so much joy, thinking about the many things that had happened in my life to bring me right to this very moment. My hands instinctively reached out to touch my stomach, rubbing it soothingly, as my smile widened.I still couldn't believe that there was a new life forming inside me. It made me look at life in a whole new perspective and I just wished Brandon would see things the same way too."Now that's one hell of a dress." Anissa said softly, as she emerged from behind me.She had been the one taking care of me more closely than any other member of Brandon's staff. She was very protective of me
