Arthur POV

Why? Why was i here? Why did i come straight here just to see if she was okay?

“Are you just coming from the airport?” her question drummed in my ears, She must’ve noticed how i looked.

“It doesnt matter.” i said as my car neared her street and i turned up the corner. “Why were you just reaching the place to collect the document, you should’ve been there an hour ago?” i asked and from the corner of my eyes i noticed the way she played with her fingers.

“Dani? What happened?”

“Nothing happened, i just- i finished late.” her voice was wavy and her gaze focused on the window. She was hiding something. The car came to a stop and silence filled the car again, Danielle was hididng something from me and i wanted to know what it is.

“Dani- you really don’t have to lie to me. Why did you go there late? You are never late to do anything so what changed now?” I asked and she slowly turned to me.

“Nothing-”

“Its Juliet isn’t it?” her mouth dropped open and then she closed it back, ther

    Dani POVSomeone had broken into my apartment. I was not dreaming. It happened. It happened, the scattered vase on the ground along side signs of dirt marks on the floor were clear that someone was here.“Dani!” I turned with my eyes wide in fear as i stared at Arthur who had run into my apartment, his eyes crossed over my face before moving down to the ground where the marks where.“Arthur- some- someone was here.” I stuttered taking a step back as everywhere didn’t feel safe anymore. Arthurs warmth covered me as he stood closely behind me, his hands gently hheld my waist to stop me from moving.“Hey- relax, i am right here.” I wrapped my arms around myself and allowed my eyes roam over the rest of the apartment. The curtain from the end of the kitchen was moving agreesively due to the wind.“There-” i pointed and Arthur followed my hands. “They probably got in through there-”Arthur moved away from me and i stayed still as i watched him enter the kitchen, i turned to the tv and then

    Dani POVMy eyes parted open and when i turned slowly to find the dim light i realized that the place was still dark, i groaned and turned to my left and found Arthur on his phone and his brows was scrunched up.“Arthur-” my croaky voice came out and his head snapped up at me, immediately he tucked his phone away and leaned foward, he was still in the same clothes he was wearing from earlier and his hair still in same style.“Hey, how are you feeling?” he asked them and i tried to move against the headboard but my body ached a lot and my vision was strained.“Easy now.” i managed to lean against the headboard and then i glanced down at myself, i was still wearing the same clothes i had on and the duvet covered most of my body but deep down i was still feeling cold.“What happened?” i asked reaching for my head, their was a slight ache and my mouth felt like sound paper.“I guess that you’re extremely fatigued and with what happened back at the house, your body shut down. So i tucked y

    Arthur POVShe just sat there, her face few inches away from mine and her warm breath was close to me. I noticed the look on her face, the way her eyes scanned mine and the brief second whern they retreated to my lips. It was difficult to look away, and i did the same thing too and for a second i thought she saw the images in my head.Clearing my throat, i pulled away from her and raked my hands through my hair.“We got rid of every evidence that showed that we went out together, images of both Juliet and I went faster and i don’t think its going to be a problem for you.” i said and glanced down at her plate, she had taken a couple of spoons but made no intention of taking another bite.“Okay, i guess it all make sense now.” She muttered and reached for the glass of water. “Is that why you were mad at me-”“No, i wasn’t mad at you Dani, i just- it was best that you didnt know what was actually happening then. I didnt want to worry you.” i pointed out and our gaze met.“It should make

    Dani POV“I’m doing this as a friend.”It was impossible for my eyes to not widen at his words, he was plainly declaring that all he was doing was because he saw me as a friend and nothing more. I sucked on my bottom lips and waited for reality to dawn on me, for him to say that he didn't mean that but it never came.“You’re an asset Dani, it would be foolish to not take anything you say seriously and most especially protect you. Its easier to not have a distracted woman working on a minimum.” he said and my heart plummeted a million miles down. Right, he was protecting me because I was his staff and i was useful to his company.“Right.” I muttered and nodded my head slowly, there was no need to make this much of a big deal. “Well thank you for thinking about me and my family but i can fend for all of us, like i have and will.” I objected calmly and his eyes softened at my words.“Dani-” i raised my hands to stop him from speaking, I gave him a small smile before i retired back to the

    Dani POVI never thought i would sleep this well, my body was already getting accustomed to the luxury of the bed when i woke up the next morning, my hands curled around the duvet which had been moved up to my chest. I stretched out and smiled as my hands rubbed against the soft white pillows supporting me. I stayed back in bed as i stared out the window, it was a little bit dark but it was only a matter of time before the sun came up.I sighed and got out of bed remembering that everything was going to end. I turned to the clock sited on the bedside table, it was a little bit after five. I was about to lean back on the bed when i heard something fall followed by a loud curse. I jumped out of bed and opened the door racing towards the direction of the noise, I ended up standing in front of a door which I realized was Arthur’s room.I swallowed as my hands reached for the knob but I was too slow as the doors swung open revealing a shirtless Arthur staring down at his thumb. He raised h

    Dani POV My alarm rang and my heart sank. It took me a second to make sense of my surroundings, after that I remembered where I was as my memory came rushing down like a tap. I sighed as I stood up from the bed, I needed to get ready, whatever it was that I was thinking off I needed to put it aside.He wasn’t here in the room, but at the mirror stand I could see that he had ordered some clothes for me. I stood up and tried not to remember what he said yesterday or the previous things that made us argue like we were some couple.I stared at myself as I saw my reflection.“He was right.” I said to myself as I could see that my messy hair not only elevated my look but it made my lips and eyes pop out. I shook my head as I calmed myself,I didn’t want my heart racing at his little comments or my head being messed up with questions that I find challenging.I looked at the outfit and I snapped out of my dream world, it didn’t look like the dresses that I get at discount prices, the clot

    Juliet POV My eyes brightened as I saw him, I just wanted him. “Hey baby.” I purred as we entered the elevator, I licked my lips as I smiled. I didn’t like the fact that she was here too.She has her head stuck in her phone like it was her body part. I wrapped my arms around Arthur, he shrugged but I didn’t care, I wanted to see how Danielle would react, Arthur is really difficult right now.I looked over to Danielle, expecting a reaction but she wasn’t even making any efforts. I did get a nudge or a side-eye. Not even a sneak. I glared at her but she didn’t even look back at me, I grinned my teeth, my attention was on her and no one else.Ding.The elevator doors opened and we walked out first, I scoffed as I was glad that she knew her place even with all that drama that Arthur acted back then. Danielle followed but she just wanted to get to her workstation, I could see the eagerness in her pace and how she avoided even the slightest eye contact.“You don’t know how much I enjoyed th

    Dani POV“Taxi!” i flagged down a taxi, the driver was a man who wore a starbuck t-shirt and had a pack of open dougnuts by the side.“Where to?” he asked as i entered.“Floral street.” I said and pulled my coat with me as i got comfortable, the cab was cleaner than seventy percent of the cabs in the city and i was happy with the turn out.“Oh, do you have a family down there?” he asked as he started the ride, i stared at him wondering how he knew that.“Oh, floral streets host one of the best family events, everyone is a big family down there, my mother stays there. I just figured that it may be that.” he said and i relaxed.“Yeah, i’m just going to see an old family friend.” i replied trying to hold up the conversation.The ride was short and not as bothersome as Pete the driver, didnt speak to me as he sang along to the song from the radio.“Thank you.” i said as i exited the cab, he waved and drove away and when i turned to the apartment bulding.

Anger seered through me as it struggled to stay afloat with my fear which tagged easily. If he was alive, there was large chance he would hurt Ava to get to me. He had come back for me, to get me to back back to what i did to him.“Arthur!!” Zachary yelled from behind me but i kept on walking as wheels turned in my head. “Wait the hell up!” He grabbed my upper hand and yanked me but the persons face i saw was Danielle.“What?!” I snapped, not caring if they all saw me loose.“Where are you going? You can’t just keep leaving me in the dark. At least tell me what you have planned.” Dani stated with strong words but it wasn’t going to work so i laughed. I laughed not at her but at the entire situation.“Don’t you get it Dani, if my father had Ava and your mother, there is no plan. There is nothing i can think off that’ll work- its always a loosing game with him. He knows me

    Dani POV“......she is the mother of your child..” Zachary’s words echoed in my head as i stared at the man i had trusted since the very first day.“What the hell does he mean?” I repeated as if i didnt hear myself the first time.“Dani- i can explain...”“Then do just that!! Explain to me why your brother thinks i’m the mother of your child, and you didnt seem surprised by it and what child!! I sure as hell know that its not Ava- she- she can’t be yours-”“You better believe it Danielle, my brother may be a liar but i am not.” Zachary said mildly. “Dad!!” Robert scolded but it was too late, the damage has been done already.“And you–” zachary turned to Robert. “You were supposed to keep an eye out for her. You had one simple job-”“I guess we both have something in common, don’t you think dad?” Robert muttered bitterly but Zachary remained calm.“Lets leave the two to settle themselves,” “Dad-”“ its about time he told her Robert, he has always been looking for a chance, now seems lik

    Arthur POVThe thing i feared most was unfolding right before my eyes, they had taken them. Whoever it was that had sent me that text had moved ahead even with knowing who my family are, who i am. In the past years, my family had been threatened in more than one way and every single time, they’ve regretted targeting my family but now it felt different and it was obvious why, they had taken someone I thought i had lost before now, My daughter. They had taken Ava.“Arthur, what is happening?” She asked as she followed behind me, my hands ran through the screen of my phone hitting numbers that should be around, it was a good sign that she did not know just yet-“I’m not moving one more step until you tell me what is going on.” She halted with both hands by her side as she stared at me, she could sense that something was wrong.“I know you are worried but i can explain on-” Her phone buzzed in her hands, and with a reluctant gaze she stared at her screen and in seconds her eyes widened.“

    ighty Five Dani POVAlex thiago was nothing i imagined, he wasn’t a man with white hair who was partially bald and had rounded shoulders. He was a man over six foot and had no bald hair, infact his grey hair was neatly styled on his head and the wrinkles on his face was highly controlled. His dark hazel eyes were electrifying that even as he stared at Arthur and I, i felt more to be of his target.“I’ve told you to call me Alex, son.” He replied and shook his hands with a small hug as though they’ve been friends for a long time.“Where is Patricia?” Arthur asked as Alex gaze shifted to me, he took my hand and placed a kiss to the back of them.“She’ll be here any mom-” A woman with Aubrun hair and dark red dress hurridely stepped outside.“Babe, i told you to wait for me.”“Our guest are here already, i didnt have to wait for you before attending to them but i’m sorry. You look beautiful love.” Alex said and pulled his wife who was way shorter than him even in her heels. She looked yo

    Dani POVArthur countenance changed when i turned to check if he was following, his eyes were narrowed at his phone and his lips were in a thin line. I could count the number of times Arthur was worried by something and he never lost his composure, but this time, it felt different. He was disturbed, and he didnt seem to have it under control.I had been so carried away by what I was seeing that I didn’t notice him slacking behind and now he had probably seen something that would cause his mood to be foul for the rest of the day.With guilt eating my stomach, I walked towards him with my brows furrowed. He raised his head just before I got to him and just like always he tried to hide it but it was too late.“Hey, is everything okay?”“I should be asking you that question,” I countered and his brows shut up.“What do you mean-““No lies Arthur, I saw your face, you saw something really unpleasant. What did you see?” He stared at me, either stunned to speak or trying to come up with an a

    Arthur POVShe was in my arms when i stirred awake, cuddled right next to me with her lips slightly parted. I had passed out on the couch with her resting on me and it was one of the best sleep I’ve had in weeks. Even though my legs hurt from not having a place to properly rest, it was worth it.My body had given out to the stress from the past couple of days and it was clear that i needed the rest. I checked the time on the wall and realized we still had four more hours until it was dawn, meaning two things. I either go back to sleep or i begin my day.“What are you thinking about?” She was awake. Her eyes were still closed making me wonder how she could tell.“How-”“Your heartbeat, it started racing few seconds ago-” she paid attention to the little things and it marvelled me.“Sorry if i disrupted your sleep.” I apologized as she sat up.“Its fine, are you okay?” She asked while brushing her hair carefully behind her ears.“Yes- its just two a.m. meaning you need to get more sleep

I was going to forgive them and move on just so i can get her back but she said that she didnt deserve to be with me, that she could do so much better, and that i was carried away with everything that had happened in the past and not focused on her.”“Arthur-”“I blame myself for it but it hurt after telling both of them seperately that i had started seeing a therapist already. It hurt because i trusted them so much, all jake did was gloat and after Juliet realized i wasn’t running after her like she imagined, she started running to me. Seeing her face was enough pain on its own, my mind always brought back the images of of the both of them- and the funny thing is that they did it in our room back in college-”“Arthur, I’m so sorry.” I muttered, it was horrible watching your best friend and girlfriend lie to you and betray you- my heart ached for Arthur. He had gone through so much

    Dani POVWe ended up sitting on the sand and feeling the grain between my toes felt relaxing, talking about Anna brought back some memories that I had locked away but this time it was different.“After my grandfather took me in, it took me a while to adjust. I barely slept and all I did was stare at my door waiting for either my father to come through it and drag me out or my mother to hold me and tell me she was sorry for leaving me alone.” He admitted and I turned to him, he was playing with the strap of the silver watch on his wrist.“I also wanted to see Zachary come in through the doors and tell me that everything I had done was not my fault but it never happened. I blame myself for everything that happened between us- it's safe to say that we both need professional help.” He joked at the end but now that he mentioned it, it wouldn't be a bad idea.“It's not going to be bad.” My hands slipped to his and with a gentle squeeze he turned to me, with a smile. “So, mind telling me abo
