2024-10-29 19:42:56"Speak!!!" Daniel scolded when the sound of the intercom came through. A sound that irked him a lot whenever he was very busy.
"Y….your friends are here to see you, sir." His secretary's shaky voice came through.
Daniel cussed inaudibly under his breath. "Let them in."
"Okay, sir." She said after which the intercom went off.
Almost immediately, the door to Daniel's office flung open and his two best friends strolled in, Henry and Chad.
"I see you are still a monster. That poor girl was literally shaking when we insisted that she informed you of our presence." Henry spoke, making his way toward the visitor's chair opposite Daniel's desk area.
"I thought we had free access to you dude, when did you change the rules," Chad spoke as he took his seat next to Henry.
Daniel rolled his eyes at his best buddies. He rose to his feet from where he was seated opposite them and proceeded to the bar area of his office to pour himself a glass of white wine.
"Won't you offer us drinks?" Chad said when Daniel returned to his seat. He rolled his eyes at both his friends, and then took a sip of his alcohol.
He was really not in the mood to chat at the moment but he knew for a fact that they weren't going to let him be.
"Dickhead!" Chad said, then he went to pour himself and Henry a drink.
"Why are you guys here?" his voice came out coarse, probably because he hadn't said much in the past few hours that he had been sitting by his desk.
"Where else do you want us to be by this time?" Henry spoke.
"In your company, working your asses off just like I am doing right now."
"Come on, dude. It's past 6 pm. We'll be leaving for the club soon." Chad spoke, coming back to his seat with two glasses of alcohol and handing one over to Henry.
"Someone definitely ruined your mood today," Henry mumbled, collecting a glass of wine from Chad with a chuckle.
"And that's why I told her that I won't be seeing anyone for the rest of the day. You forced your way in so you face whatever you see."
While Henry glared at Daniel, Chad chuckled, taking a sip of his alcohol. They seem to be used to their friends' gloomy behavior which doesn't make them mad anymore.
"We got an invitation from your mom for Anita's wedding. Is that why you're in a bad mood?" Chad asked.
"I honestly don't care what goes on in that family. Anita can marry whoever the fuck she wants. That dude is a gold digger. She's sure going to regret the marriage."
"He could be a changed person. Who knows?" Chad retorted.
"I don't believe."
"With you in the picture. I don't think he would want to do anything to hurt Anita. After all, She's your sister."
"None of my business."
"She's your younger sister. You've got a duty to protect her." Henry reminded.
"You all are making me the bad person here as if you don't know Anita. Not only does her taste in men freak me out. She does what she wants. She's in love, so good for her."
"You would be attending the wedding, right?" Chad asked.
"Of course, he would." Henry chipped in.
"I don't think so. More like, I don't think I will,"
"Come on, dude." Henry voiced out.
"You all should know me by now. I don't do hypocrisy."
"But she's family." Henry reasoned but that doesn't seem to be doing any changes to Daniel's already made-up mind.
"I don't care. But you guys can still honor mother's invitation. She will be happy to see you all there."
"Are you sure that's the reason or you are tired of your parents pressuring you to get married?"
"Their nags bother me no more. They've got grandkids from Amarie. Anita is about to give them more so they've got no point insisting I get married."
"Maybe they are desperate for a daughter-in-law."
"Or they just genuinely want you to find love." Henry and Chad said respectively.
Daniel scoffed, "Fuck Love!!!"
"So you're never going to settle down?" Henry couldn't help but ask.
Daniel cursed softly. "Are you guys here for something important or you came to discuss my love life?" he couldn't hide his disgust at the topic in question.
"Chill man, what's got you on the wrong side of the bed this evening?" Chad couldn't help but say.
"You've been taking glances at your phone since we came in. Is everything okay with you?" Henry stared at him suspiciously.
Daniel puffed out some air, running his left finger through his hair. "This babe is going to be the end of me."
"Natalie?" Henry arched his brow.
"Never! They broke up last week " Chad chipped in, taking a sip of his wine but still peeking at Daniel for his response.
"Who's she? Where did you guys meet?" Henry turned his attention to Daniel.
"She works at the cafe not too far from the office."
Chad almost choked on his drink. "What?? She's a waitress??? A fucking waitress is making you feel this way?"
Daniel glared at Chad, making him shut his mouth.
"Since when did you become a racist?" Henry asked Chad.
"Racist? Is she black? Latino? Or Asian? I never said anything about race. I literally just got surprised that a waitress is making the almighty Daniel feel this way," Chad defended as he shrugged his shoulders.
"And, don't look at me like I'm the devil here. Isn't Daniel the one who claims he would never fuck the pussy of a commoner?" Chad added.
"What's your deal with her?" Henry asked Dan "You never get coffee yourself so how did you guys' path cross?"
Daniel sighed. He rose to his feet with his glass of wine, and took slow steps towards the window, where he stood with his free hand in his pocket and back facing his friends as he looked into the streets of California.
"The waitress is definitely giving him a hard time. I love to see it." Chad whispered, smiling. "I would love to see her," he whispered again.
"This is strange. He's never been this bothered about women." Henry said in a low tone as well.
Chad chuckled, "He probably just met his match so he doesn't know how to deal with it."
"I can hear you guys." Daniel groaned, taking a sip from his cup.
"Can you just tell us what happened so we can help you out of this mess?" Henry said.
"Can we meet her?"
Daniel turned around, throwing Chad a nasty glare.
"Are you going to talk or not?"
I was at the Cafe to meet with one of our biggest clients and she served our table.
"So, did you ask her out?"
"I don't ask women out. They throw themselves at me, remember?"
Chad burst into laughter, ignoring Daniel's glare.
"So you're pissed because she didn't ask you out?" Henry said, trying so hard not to laugh.
"She didn't acknowledge my presence."
Seeing Henry arch a confused brow, Daniel exhaled and then strolled back to where he was seated. "I'm used to women stealing glances at me and trying to flirt with me at any opportunity they get. She was so close to me and had the opportunity to do all of that but it was as if I was nonexistent to her."
"I don't know why but I couldn't seem to get her out of my head that night. So I went to the cafe the next day hoping she would acknowledge me but she still didn't."
"Been making a stop there every day for two weeks now but nothing has changed. She treats me the same way she treats other customers and would hardly even speak to me. My charm works on everyone. Why is she an exception?"
"Wrote my number and kept it on the table before I left. It's been more than 24 hours, no text, no call. And you know how much I hate being kept waiting, disobeyed, and disrespected."
"There are two things involved. She probably doesn't know you or...."
Daniel quickly chipped in. "Is that even possible? Who doesn't know Daniel Tucker Debock???"
"Not everyone cares about who's popular and who's not. We've all got our life issues so people's priorities are different. As I said, She either doesn't know you or doesn't give two fucks about who you are."
"I agree," Chad said.
"Instead of being here, staying all cranky. Why don't you just approach her and ask her out?"
Daniel chuckled, taking his seat.
"Some girls like it when you go the proper way. They like to be wooed." Henry added.
"I don't do that. They come to me and I decide if I want them or not."
"Then maybe you should let go of this one."
Daniel shook his head.
"What's the deal? Didn't you just say you don't do love?" Chad said.
"I don't love her dude!"
"You sure about that?" Henry stared at him accusingly
"You literally just ranted like a lovesick puppy," Chad added. "If it's not love, then it's probably an obsession that will make you end up falling in love."
"I disagree with you guys. But I'll know what I want after I've had my way with her."

After so much teasing, Daniel was able to cajole his friends to leave, using work as an excuse and promising to meet them at the club later at night. In as much as his mind kept wandering off to Her, he tried his very best to bury himself with work and just when he was really deep into it, the sound of his phone ringing, took his mind off what he was doing. Taking a glance at the phone beside him, he heaved a tired sigh as he saw the Caller ID. He literally watched the phone ring until it stopped ringing after which Daniel went back to work. Hardly had he typed a single word on his laptop when his phone rang again beside him. It was the same person calling. He sighed, picking up the phone and bringing it to his ear after pressing the answer button. "Hi Baby," The very familiar feminine voice came through. "I'm very busy, Mom. Kindly go straight to the point." "Wow! Good evening to you too, Son!" "You called? Why?" He said sternly. "Do I need to have a valid reason to reach out

Daniel drove in the direction of the club and upon getting there, he got easy access through the backdoor since he was a VIP!" Making his way into the club, Daniel was first of all greeted by the sound of very loud music. Admits the crowd, and he was able to get through to the VIP area. As he made his way there, he started sighting some familiar faces, seated. They were all in similar attire like him, in their respective suits, which was evidence that they were coming straight from work. Each of the men had at least a lady by their side or on their lap., keeping them warm and cool. Bartenders were as well going in and out of the VIP section, making sure everyone in there was properly attended to with their orders. Daniel was just a few steps away when he finally sighted Henry and Chad. He instantly rolled his eyes as he saw Chad mingling with three different ladies. In their circle, Dan knew that Chad was even more of a womanizer than he was but it was hard to believe because lot

After a couple of minutes of driving, Dan finally got home. He went straight for a shower, then changed into one of his comfy sweatpants. He reached for his phone in the hope that he would see a missed call or text message to acknowledge his interest in her but he saw nothing and that resonated another form of anger in him. Daniel stormed out of his bedroom, slamming the door behind him. He found himself in the living room and when he didn't see who he was looking for. He made his way to the kitchen where he finally found her, She was by the counter, doing some cleaning. She was dressed in her maid uniform which was a short black and white dress and her hair was put in a ponytail. Daniel knew she either saw him or noticed his presence as she vigorously continued cleaning the countertop. Not as if it was dirty or Dan even ate most of the food she prepared, he was just a neat freak and required that she cleaned the house twice a day. Dan finally approached her from behind and squeeze

“Beatrice!!!!” her boss called angrily and She immediately knew this whole thing was going to be only about her now. It was going to be a disaster. “He grabbed my ass!” She yelled. At the moment, She didn't give two cents if She was sacked. She felt disrespected and the plan was to treat the situation as such. Daniel who was beginning to dust the coffee off his suit raised his head abruptly, looking at the phones that were recording him. “Get this nut heads out of my face!” he yelled at no one in particular. “Please, leave!” the boss said to the customers who were murmuring inaudibly. Daniel rested his face in his palm, throwing his stained-face towel inside the waste bin angrily. He only came here to give her a push about wanting him but never did he see this coming. “I will make sure you pay for this!” he said in a harsh tone before storming out of the cafe. “Mr. Debock!” Beatrice’s boss called after him but he was too pissed to listen to her. “Mr. Debock!” she called again

Daniel grumbled, seeing the phone go off. He couldn't believe that this was happening. Dan had always been someone who had fun in his own way and whilst doing that, he tried not to ruin the family's reputation or at least do something to get his father involved. He couldn't believe that the girl he had been obsessed with turned a really small gesture into a big of a deal. Tossing his phone on the table angrily, Dan dashed into the adjoined bathroom in the office and changed into another pair of shirt and pants. He arranged his hair with his fingers, did a little cleanup, then came out of the bathroom. He picked up his phone where he left it, then exited his office. After driving for almost twenty minutes, Daniel got to his parents' house. He parked the car exactly in front of the entrance door and then made his way in. The housekeeper told him his parents were in the study so he went there straight. Opening the door, he came face to face with his Dad, Mom, and Immediate younger sist

Finally getting back to his office, Daniel settled behind his desk. He brought out his phone and decided to watch the video to know why people were making him look like a bad person. Daniel Debock Tucker never owned any social media accounts. All he needed to do to know what people were saying about him was to go on any browser and search for his name and all the recent gossip would turn up which was what he did. Dan cursed inaudibly the moment he was done watching. The video really captured everything. It was almost as if the person who recorded knew he was going to mess up and had his camera on standby. Exiting the web, Daniel went to his contact list and scrolled through, searching for the number he had in mind. Upon seeing the contact he was searching for, he dialed it immediately. “Aaron?!” He called out “Yes, Boss! Good day, Boss!” “ I want you to investigate a lady called Beatrice. She works at Louis cafe which is just adjacent to the company.” “I need every damn detail

“Full name, Beatrice Arson. 26, A high school graduate and has been working jobs to jobs since then to help her struggling family and pay off the debt her late father owed.” “She’s got a not so honest boyfriend..” “What do you mean by that?” Dan asked, interrupting Aaron. He had no idea why that statement angered him a lot! “She likes him so much but he’s out there manipulating her and cheating on her as well. Rumor has it that they are going to get married soon!” “Married? How? Didn’t you just say he’s merely the boyfriend?” Daniel had no idea why he was so pissed by this conversation. “I didn’t think I saw any ring on her either!” He said, trying to remember the scene of where he held her hand earlier. “Yes, He didn’t give her a ring or any form of jewelry to seal the proposal. He only proposed by words. He told her he can’t afford a ring yet.” “What the fuck?!” Daniel found himself being even more disgusted. “He can’t afford a ring? how can he afford to even take care of her
Forced Affair Chapter Nine
Hardly had Daniel taken his seat when his phone vibrated in his hand. It was Amarie, his younger Sister. “We literally just saw each other a few hours ago!” “That doesn’t mean that I can still not call you.” “What do you want? This better be important because I’m very busy.” “Yeah! I had expected you to say that!” His sister replied and he could imagine her rolling her eyes at him which was exactly what she did. “What do you want, woman? I’ve got things to do!” “I sent your suit to your apartment.” Daniel frowned, “What suit?” “For the wedding.” “What wedding?” “Stop acting like you don’t know what I’m talking about. The least you can do is to thank me!” “Who told you to get me a suit?” “I knew you weren’t going to have time to shop for one so I took it upon myself, to ease you from the stress.” “Get that suit out of my place. I don’t want it. I’m not attending that event. It’s a pity you all think I’m joking.” “Are you some kind of hater or something, why are you being

"Dan! What the hell? I've been on my feet trying to explain this to you. Are you even listening to what I'm saying?" Henry slammed the piece of paper against the table and slumped into the visitor's chair that was opposite Daniel's desk. "Sorry, my thoughts are elsewhere." He mumbled, massaging his temple. "What's going on? This is so unlike you!" Henry asked, concerned. "Beatrice is mad at me and it's really messing with my head." "What did you do?" Daniel could swear that he could almost see Henry glaring at him."Why are you assuming I'm the one at fault?" "Well, we all know that Bea can do no wrong. It's gotta be you who has ruined things. Now open up to me. Tell me, what did you do to upset the Queen?" "I got home last night with a lipstick stain on my shirt." "Holy shit, Dan. Don't tell me you are cheating.

FIVE YEARS LATER“Mommy!!!!” Ryan Lee Debock shrugged out of his nanny’s arms and ran as fast as his legs could carry him when he saw his mom walk in through the door.Beatrice smiled as this was the best part of her daily routine that she looked up to: getting all loved up in her baby boy’s embrace.She placed her handbag on the floor, crouched down to her knees, and stretched out her arms, just in time for her son to run into her. Bea showered his face with kisses the moment she had Ryan in her arms.He giggled “I miss you, mommy.”“I missed you too, my love.” She placed a deep kiss on his forehead, wondering how it was so possible for her to love a tiny human this much.“How was school today? Did you take your food and vitamins?”The little boy nodded, smiling, that Bea couldn’t resist kissing his cheek again. Her Son was so adorable and needless to say, he looked so much like Daniel.“Good evening ma’am.” Aliyah, the nanny greeted. She was a young lady in her early twenties.“Hi d

EPILOGUEFOUR MONTHS LATER“Babe.” Bea heard that very familiar voice, followed by a soft kiss on her neck.“Hmmmm.” She whispered with her eyes closed.“I really don’t want to wake you but we have thirty minutes till our appointment.”“Already? But we literally just slept.” She said with a drowsy voice.“You want us to postpone?”“No. I really wanna know today.”“Me too. How about we take a joint bath?”She nodded against the pillow.Daniel chuckled, “I knew you wouldn’t be able to refuse that.”He helped Beatrice down from the bed after which they made their way to the bathroom. They ended up having a quickie and then rinsed their bodies.Beatrice was styling her hair when Daniel walked out of the closet. He came to a halt in front of her, holding a jewelry box.Bea sighed. “Babe, we agreed that we were done with gifts.”“No.” Daniel shook his head. “You should have figured out that I was lying.”“You promised no more gifts."Dan feigned innocence. “Well, I don’t remember that.”Bea

Debbie nodded shyly.“Okay, what else don’t I know?”“Debock has met you and he literally didn’t say anything to me?”“I’m sorry if you feel furious about this but Frank said a lot of nasty things that I can’t even begin to mention now. My heart wasn’t at peace. I had to make sure I knew Daniel’s intention.”“How did you meet him? He’s so busy.”“Rita said he usually comes over to her workplace.”“Good, You all are making plans behind me.”“That’s not it, my love. I promise you that we all had your interest at heart. I just had to make sure the billionaire dude wasn’t messing with my daughter. He came over and we discussed.”“He gave me his word about wanting you genuinely. And he also promised that he was going to take care of you. That was after he apologized about the cafe scene.”“Your siblings were here when he came over. They recognized him and he was kind enough to take them to the mall for a treat. They got clothes, shoes, new phones and laptops, as well as groceries for the h

THE NEXT DAY“Here comes the heartbeat.” The Doctor said and almost immediately, the room was filled with the most beautiful sound Beatrice and Daniel had ever heard.With their eyes glued to the monitor, the duo had tears in their eyes.As they got familiar with the baby’s heartbeat, the doctor went ahead to print out some ultrasound pictures for them.“Congratulations to you both for raising a healthy baby so far. Everything is fine and in a couple of weeks, we would be able to find out the gender; of course, that’s if you don’t want to wait till its birth.”Dan and Beatrice stared at each other, smiling.“I commend you both for the good work done so far. I believe if you continue to abide by the instructions given, the birth of your baby will be a smooth one.” She said, then turned her attention to Daniel. “Your woman needs you now more than ever. This is the best time to shower her with so much love and support.”“There’s nothing to worry about, Doc. You can count on me.” Dan sai

“You have experience working in cafes and restaurants. What if you own your own business.”Beatrice said nothing so he continued speaking.“It’s okay if you want to start really small with a cafe or wanna dive straight into the restaurant idea. I will support you with whatever you choose.”“I will fund the whole project. We will get you a good space, furnish it, employ the necessary staff and you just need to deal with managing the place.”“I can help you out with the business plan or if you don’t want me to be too involved, I can connect you with Amarie to help you out.”“You can also enroll in some online classes on management if you think you are not confident enough in running your own place but I’m sure you will do just fine.”“Should in case you don’t want a cafe or a restaurant, there’s always a boutique business, owning your own fashion brand and all.”“You need not worry about customers.

She glared at him, “Really? That’s what you could take out from everything that I said?”“I understand all that you said but that was what stood out for me the most. I know you’ve been through so much, Bea, but I promised you that it hasn’t been easier for me too. The times that you weren’t happy, I wasn’t happy too. I may have indirectly inflicted pain on you but I promise you that I felt pain too.”“I don’t know what you want in the man of your dreams but I promise you that I can be that man and I will live up to your expectations.”“I like you so much, Bea. So much that I know I would go insane if you are not mine and seeing you so sad or mad at me makes me feel terrible.”“Knowing you definitely birthed a new personality for me. I would do whatever it takes to make you happy.”“There you go again. Knowing what to say to me.”“I don’t want to lose you.”She sighed. “You make things so hard for me.”“So does that mean that I’m forgiven?”Beatrice said nothing, looking away from him.

Daniel seemed to have slept for a very short time but he didn’t mind because he woke up the happiest man in the world to a very wonderful woman by his side. He smiled seeing that she still had her head buried in his chest as she slept peacefully.Daniel removed some of the hair that fell across her cheek and placed a soft kiss on it after which he gently tore himself away from her and got out of bed. He proceeded to the bathroom to get ready for his meeting with Nora and one of their business partners.“Jeez, did you even sleep at all?” He smiled, sighting his Grandmother on the couch.“Thank goodness you are here. I was contemplating if I should come bang on the door but I wouldn’t want to ruin anything that was happening between you both.”Daniel laughed out loud. “Good morning, Grandma.”“Oh, Good Morning, and Happy Birthday to you my lovely Grandson.” She rose to her feet, pulling him into a warm hug. “May this new age bring you abundant happiness. I love you so much, Daniel, and

“I just want to cuddle you.”“I don’t want you to.” Bea was saying when he placed her head on his chest and she was surprised at the warmth she felt due to the closeness of their bodies. They were in a spooning position and for the first time she felt really protected.“You win because I’m tired and I don’t have the strength to argue with you.”“Anything that makes you sleep at night.” Daniel smiled, kissing the side of her forehead.Beatrice felt her eyes start getting itchy but she tried her best to push back the tears. It was evident that she and Daniel started on a very terrible path but if she was being sincere, no man had ever made her feel loved; not even Frank.“Are you an early riser?” He asked, caressing her hair.“It depends. Why do you ask?”“I need to be up early. Grandma and I have a meeting with someone. It’s business related but we will be done before noon."“Then we have the rest of the day to explore this city before we head back home.”“It’s fine. You don’t need to
