Chapter 13

Just as he stepped out of Daniel's office, his fury evaporated. His anger vanished. His vision cleared. And his sense of reasoning returned. It felt like someone spoke some sense into him.

Heaving a sigh, Mark made his way to the driveway where his car was parked. His mind reflected on the drama he displayed. Damn! He did not handled the situation right. His wrong approached of the arising situation did nothing to resolved it. Raher, it escalated.

He couldn't believed the trashed he vomited right there. He had let the bastard won. A mere man, one he didn't know nor ever met. Yet with just a word from him, Mark stormed to Daniel's office and ended up blasting him.

Fuck! His conscience pricked him.

Opening his car door, he slammed it shut and rested his head on the steering wheel. His eyes shut. His breath laboured. Regret felt like a venom in his system. How will he get this settled?

Who knows, it might have been a prank of some sort to ruined his family using him as an

    Chapter 14Fredrick Josh smirked as he watched Mark's expression on his laptop from the living room. He heard every conversation Mark had with Daniel and he saw how excited he was. But his happiness will be short lived, that he was certain. If Mark won't take his advice and confront Graham, then he won't ever know happiness for as long as he breath. His identity was truly hidden from the public. No one knew him by the name Fredrick Josh but rather by a different name. No matter what he does, it was never going to be linked to him. He was extra careful, leaving no traces behind. Fredrick's eyes narrowed. Graham had bitten more than he could choose and he needed to pay the price for it. He stole everything that had ever given him happiness. Fame, wealth, power and the woman he had loved with his heart. Graham couldn't go scott free when he had scores to settle with him. It has been twenty years since that unfortunate incident but the scare in his heart was still afresh and hurting w

    Chapter 15And what other ways to accomplished that than resorting to do Kim's dirty job. She was Melissa's twins. A twin who had survived the past forty five years without knowing the existence of her twins. A twin who was rudely separated at birth by Kim's father, who thought he was doing her nothing but a favour. He had took her to the orphanage home where she had suffered humiliation that mentally, emotionally and psychologically damaged her. Changing her from a once jovial girl to a cold one who cared for nothing other than survival. And she had grew up, detesting her father for not withdrawing that night. She would never have been conceived. And her mother who should have aborted her. Yet, they didn't help out. Invariably, they contributed indirectly to her sufferings. Two years ago, she discovered the sad news. She had a twin. A twin named Melissa. She was after all from a Billionaire's family.

To act as a chef? Or possibly act as a real wife? "Yeah! Atta girl! Keep pushing!" Patricia yelled excitedly, smiling as she jumped in glee just as the female lead threw a punch at the terrorist who had been harassing her. Her eyes glint with happiness, totally ignoring Daniel's presence. "Keep going! We need more punches!" Daniel gritted his teeth as he watched her. "For the last time, where is my food?" He repeated the question as he angrily pulled out his tie, and unbuttoned his shirt. His veins were popping out. Steam were coming out of his ears as he constantly tried to keep his anger in check. Again, Patricia ignored him. "Come on girly," Patricia clapped her hands in glee, encouraging the female lead in the movie. "You don't need to give up. More punches to his gut and groin."

"Hello Shelly," "Mr Daniel, based on your request. There is an information which I would love to share." Intrigued, Daniel stopped descending. "Yeah. You have my full attention." "In the process of tracking Fredrick's phone calls, I discovered his connection with Henry Gomez, the ex-military personnel who was the sole purpose behind Melissa's death.

The lust in her eyes were not concealed. Damn! The bitch had an iota of feelings for him. No doubt.Certainly, if he played his cards well, she won't resist sliding into his bed for a one night stand. His eyes twinkled. "I know I am irresistible but can you shut your mouth? A fly will perched on you."Caught off guard, Patricia swiftly withdrew her gaze from Daniel. Her heart accelerated. Fuck! Fuck! How dared she? Of all people, she had to lust after Daniel. Oh gosh! He won't ever let her get off this!Daniel approached her, leaned closer as his breath fan her face. He held his gaze as he peered at her soft, wet lips. "You don't mind having a one night stand with me, do you?"Daniel's soft hands trailed her cheeks. His thumbs ran smoothly on her right cheeks.

Daniel thought her indolent when in fact she was not a chef neither was she a maid. Eyes rolling with a 'whatever' expression, Patricia went back to the couch. It was better they begin the deal process and get done with the contract. God knows she needed her peace and freedom. "Where the hell is my food?" Daniel yelled as he returned from the kitchen, his hands ran through his hair in exasperation. "I don't understand," Patricia glanced back with a bland look. "Who is your chef?""For fuck sake! I instructed you to prepare some meal for me! You are my contracted wife and one of your responsibility is to prepare my meal. What the hell has gotten into you?" Patricia smirked. "Now I know, you didn't make that rule. You paid some one to do it." She pointed an index finger at him, "If you wrote the fucking rule, you would have

With a feigned look of astonishment and perplexity, Kate stood motionlessly. Brenda coughed loudly, drawing their attention to the present just as Kate slowly pushed him away. "What's going on here?" He glanced from Kate to Graham with his thought boldly written on his face. What was going on between those two? Have they been dating? For how long? Or could it be, they were ex couple? He wondered. His concise knowledge of Kate didn't apprised him of her having a connection with Mr Graham, the special adviser to the President. "Sir," She called gently shoving Graham from her.The voice!

She corrected."Oh yeah, step sister but still she is your blood. Why eliminate her? And Daniel is your ex boyfriend whom you cheated on and he is lawfully wedded to your sister." "Yes! That's it!" Janie said dramatically. "More reason, I want her to be eliminated. She took what belongs ro me! She seduced Daniel, my man!""The same way you seduced frank, his butler." Henry cut her off, taking a step away from her. His back was to her. "Look, I have got no issue with your objective but eliminating Patricia is so out it."Janie sighed. This was proving difficult. Why was Henry hesitating? He loves danger. The Haas factor should be at work. But no, he was being a coward. "Henry, this is vital. It's what I want. My only request from you. I only seduced frank because I needed more. I wanted a different taste. I wanted to try out sex with his butler."

He needed to put an end to this insanity! The motherfucker perturbing their peace needed to be caught and heavily charged for assault and infringement of privacy. "I need more details," Daniel coldly urged. His eyes scanned the garage for any suspicious movement and intruder. Satisfied with the result, his gaze drifted back to Mark, who remained stoic in his postured. "The bastard this time sent a bitch I had a fling with." Mark admitted, his pride wounded. His gaze fixed on Daniel, he knew his thought. Obviously, the 'I told you to cut off with this loose women, see where it landed you' expression was what he expected to see, but he was wrong. "The lady had access to my home."This wasn't a time to cast blame, but a time to conjure a solution and ways to reprehend the bastard responsible for harassing and more. "I a

    Chapter 54Surely, his eyes were deceiving him. Daniel speculated. Kate stiffened at her spot. Oh god! She clutched her heart, trying to stop it from accelerating. How in the hell did that happen? She blinked repeatedly, unsure of how to handle the situation. Breath in! Breath out. No one would know what transpired. Her subconscious mind warned. Exactly, there was no way in hell for Graham or Mark to know she was caught having a nefarious intention with Kim. Kate could vowed Daniel didn't know what transpired on that fateful night. He had only caught a glimpse of her, nothing to warrant any suspicious attitude bestowed towards her. "Hi, it's nice meeting you." She smiled, extending her soft palm for a friendly handshake. He knew what game she was playing by the partial twitch in her eyes. The light smile that didn't touch her hazel eyes. The swift way her body quickly relaxed with a faux composure that needed a little questioningly. Surely, Kate thought Daniel was either dumb or d

Hot tears flowed freely and silently down her cheeks as she gazed at him. His heart shattered at Patricia's tears. He had not meant to sound harsh but the action of his brutality couldn't be revoke at that point. It was too late. The twinge of regret further fueled his guilt. Swallowing back the lump in his throat, Daniel tried reaching out to Patricia. His last vow felt like an empty promise as he gazed into Patricia's face, watching helplessly as she sobbed."Look, I didn't mean to say that. I mean, I am glad that you are pregnant for me." Hell! Was he glad? Granting Graham's wish felt like a huge feat but here he was thinking of aborting. What in hell name propelled him to blurt out such outrageous statement? There knowledge of Patricia's betrayal. The knowledge of Patricia's identity. That was the force behind h

    Chapter 52Daniel stopped dead on his track. His ears twitched at her words. His eyes unconsciously glanced at the wall clock - two thirty am. A sigh escaped his buccal cavity. Damn it! All reservation and composure seemed to have vanished into the silent night at that moment."Are you seriously serious?" Daniel turned back to Patricia with a blanched look accompanied by a concealed hatred. "Yeah." Patricia fluttered her eyelashes as she pouted, unconsciously caressing her little baby bump. "It's not really my fault. It's the baby's fault. She seemed to love food like her father." She winked teasingly. Daniel felt his heart raced at her statement. His lips arched to have a taste of her despite his hatred. Daniel's eyes travelled down her body covered with the silky night dress that was transparent and offered a lot to one's imagination. If not for the information he received, Daniel was certain he wouldn't have hesitated in tearing off Patricia's cloth, feasting first on her pink ni

She sat upright, pulling the duvet up, Patricia glanced at the wall clock. It was still two am. Where could he be? She speculated, stepping a feet out of the bed to check on him. As though on cue, he sighed alerting Patricia of his presence. Trailing the direction of the voice, Patricia followed till it led her directly to the couch. A figure sprawled on the couch with a pillow beneath him. Patricia stared at him. Her hands moved gently over his cheeks, caressing him softly. His eyes shut opened at her touch. The coldness that met her gaze paralysed her heart. "Hi.." Patricia muttered cooly. "I didn't see you on the bed so I was wondering where you were but then I caught you. What happened? Why are you here and not on the bed?" Daniel's mind flicked back to the details he received. Patricia was Melissa's murderer daughter. B

"I will just arranged my things back." She began replacing the cloth in the closet. "I can't believe we are making this work. I mean you have always hated me right from the onset and now we are not just married. We will be expecting our first baby." Folding the silk gown into the box, Patricia gazed up. "What should we call her if it's a girl?" Daniel remained quiet. Assimilating the news he just received. His body still tensed with an incredulous expression as his heart failed to come in term with the message. His phone was still on his left hand as he kept staring into space. "Hey Hubby!" Patricia called, displeased by his silence. She threw a p

    Chapter 49Patricia's world crumpled right before her eyes. She had not expected this from him. How did it happened? What about her? What become her fate? Patricia should never have fallen for him. She should never have entertained pleasure when on duty and now the repercussion of her actions was glaring right back at her. Damn it! The confidence she felt earlier dissolved like a candle wax. Determined to conceal her emotions, Patricia fixed her gaze on him oblivious to the fact that he wasn't through with his confession. Her cool composure, faux to his keen eyes. "Over the days and weeks that I met her, she has become my world. I do not want to hurt her because I love the bitchy lady so much that it hurt right here," Daniel clutched to his heart. "I can't afford to let her go."The passionate way he laid out his heart forced tears to welled up in Patricia's eyes. The unrequited love hurt. It hurt her heart dearly.

    Chapter 48The ringing of the door jolted Patricia from her reverie, thirty minute after Daniel's departure. Different thought clouded her mind as she gazed from the wall clock to the door. Her face contorted in disapproval. Her blanch eyes calculated the distance between the door and the couch she was seated. The laziness that descended upon her had everything to do with her illness and nothing to do with simple etiquette. Sighing, Patricia pushed her tired body forward, slowly making her way to unbolt the door. A figure stood by the door, dressed in a black pant and a yellow shirt with a black cover-shoe. A lab coat laid fittingly on his shirt. A stethoscope hung proudly around his neck. His cologne filled her nostrils.Patricia unconsciously shut her eyes as she inhaled deeply his cologne.Smiling at her action, "Hello, I am Doctor Richard, your husband's Doctor. I got a call to run some test on you." Patricia snapped her eyes opened at his words. She knew he was a doctor but had

There must be something wrong with Patricia. He concluded. It wasn't funny neither was it normal. "Since you don't want me around. I reckon, it's a call to be excused."Patricia frowned, gently rising on her feet. She wrinkled her nose in disgust. "Yeah. Go away lest I puke out my intestine. Please call the doctor for me. I might die any moment from now." Watching his receding figure, Patricia sighed. She stared at her reflection on the mirror. "Ah!" She shrieked. "I look so horrible. How do I intend making Daniel fall for me when I look like a lunatic straight out from a psychiatric hospital." Her face gloomed as image of Janie flashed into her mind. Daniel would never love someone like her. Janie was his spec. His type. The sophisticated lady he loved dating. Janie was tall, beautiful with a sexy body. The dream and wishes of eve
