Chapter 54

Surely, 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

    Chapter 55Daniel unconsciously gasped. His heart palpitated as anger took control of his mortality. Fury blazed from his eyes, with his fist clenched. Fuck the bastard! 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.

    Chapter OneThe room, cool and tidied had just a desk and three swivel chair. On the wall hung frames of important personnels, an award certificate and a motivational post card. Files of work neatly arranged and stacked at the corner of his desk. On the table lay a picture frame of an elderly woman, Melissa, his mother. The door opened noisily forcing him to shift his attention from the laptop on which he was frantically typing to the unwelcome visitor.

    Chapter TwoIt has been like century since his conversation with Graham but in actual truth, it was barely a week since Graham ordered him to get married. A week where he constantly sent annoying messages as a reminder of his threat. Daniel was no longer settled. Deeply disturbed and unstable, he leaned forward a bit, his forehead rested on the steering wheel with his eyes closed. Thought of how to maneuver his way out of this mess kept eluding him. The was only one thing to do which was - meeting Dylan. Dylan, a twenty seven year old guy was a bachelor like him. A mult billionaire and CEO of a "Beauty clash", one of the most famous fashion house in New York city. He was a dark guy with body that constantly left ladies in awe. Dylan had always been acknowledged as the only matured man who knew how to critically analyse an issue, think of a solution and execute it. Determined, Daniel glanced up from his melancholy position.

    Chapter ThreeDylan's word replayed for the umpteen time in his head. How in heaven sake could Dylan say such trash? Daniel glanced at Dylan, uncertain if he just quipped."What has come over you, Dylan? For candy's sake, checking Patricia out was an involuntary action" He clarified patiently as Dylan stared at him in amusement"Why are you suddenly being defensive?" Without giving him a chance to reply, Dylan continued. The amusement completely wiped from his face. His body relaxed as though being interview for a brand opening. "Patricia won't be your real wife. It will be a contracted marriage. Probably after six month, you guys can seek a divorce. You could come up with a plausible lie for the divorce" "It won't work Dylan." Daniel placed the empty glass on the dinning table after gulping down it content. Pessimism clouded his mind. Restlessly, he began pacing. "Graham wants a grandchild!" "That shouldn't be an issue," Dylan commented drily. "You could always adopt. Do a private

    Chapter FourSmells of coffee and omelette filled the air as he walked into the cafeteria for a personal business. Dylan had suggested inviting Patricia over for the deal, hence the rationale behind giving her a day off. It's been two days after the incident, leaving him giddy with nervousness. Questions like - will Patricia agrees to it? What if she doesn't agree - kept invading his mind making him nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of locker. Sitting at the extreme of the cafeteria, Daniel glanced at the menu before him, uninterested in it. His stomach growled noisily, mortified, he wistfully glanced around, glad that no one was paying him any attention. Earlier, he had insisted on a mask to avoid unnecessary fans popping out of the blue sea. Just as he placed an order for a diet coke and an omelette, two figures approached him, dressed in black suit with their black curly hair styled giving them a sexy, model look. His tensed muscles relaxed instantly as his brain recog

    Chapter 5Her rage was almost running out of check. What in pete sake did Dylan took her for? A slut? Biting down on her lower lip, Patricia refused to speak up for a while. "Anything to say?" Dylan prodded. "What's my pay?" A gold digger, definitely that was Patricia's identity. Daniel couldn't help but loath her and her beauty. What was he expecting? A saint? Damn it! He could imagine how suffocated he will feel, living in the same house with a lunatic. Mentally, he vowed to lock his bedroom to avoid losing his valuables."Five hundred thousand dollars monthly plus weekly allowance and additional privileges." Something which you obviously lack. Daniel added mentally. The last word was meant to be an insult. Glad to have accomplished his aim. Daniel sat back watching greed mixed with anger rolling in her eyes."One million dollar!" Patricia called out. They all presumed she was a bitchy gold digger. It didn't pull out any hair from her skin, hence she wasn't bothered. Alarmed, D

    Chapter 6 "Yeah. You've got an option here. Be Mr Daniel's contracted wife on papers or remain jobless!" He articulated with an air of finality."That's so unfair! This is nothing more than a blackmail of some sort!" Hesitatingly, Patricia glanced at the document. Angrily, she pulled out a pen, signed furiously on the document. His troubles were over all thanks to the manipulative boss, Dylan. Daniel thought with an inward smiles. "Mr Daniel, you will need to sign on this other page, then Dylan will need to sign as a witness." Mutely, Daniel signed then watched Dylan scribbled his signature. "That's all for the day. I will send a copy to your mail today. Congratulation!" Congratulation for what? Patricia inwardly enquired with an unladylike snort while watching as the trio rose on their feet, each men exchanging handshakes with Daniel smiling in gratitude."Thanks Gee! I appreciate"Done exchanging pleasantries, Edward exited. With a clue, Dylan excused himself, offering Daniel a

Will he watch silently as everything slipped to Mark's hand when he did not deserve it?This was worst than a nightmare. His optimistic self crumbled. He turned in despair to cast one last forlorn look at the door.

She was certain every one could hear her heart accelerating yet she couldn't halt it. So she put up a smile seeing a panick Daniel on the altar sweating profusely. Such a jerky bastard!

    Chapter 53Abort? Patricia's ears itched as she drew closer. Her eyes glittered brightly. Definitely, something was wrong with Daniel. Patricia concluded with certainty. 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

    Chapter 51Clock tickling away in the far side of the room. Patricia stirred, still soundly asleep. Her hands searched for him. Her eyes shut opened, alarmed. 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

    Chapter 50Daniel blinked rapidly. His body tensed. His eyes widened as it remained fixed on the name, Patricia Henry. Hell! Was it what he was thinking? Gosh! It better not be. He wasn't sure if he could stemmed the hatred and hurt boiling from the depth of his stomach. Unaware of the quick changed in Daniel, Patricia moved away from him. "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. Listening as the man she loved confesses his feelings for another la

    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

    Chapter 47Holy cow! Daniel stepped back as though back slapped. He unconsciously perceived himself. The smell of Eau de filled his nostrils. He sighed. 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
