Third person's p.o.v
"Hello guys.""Rose."Linda whispered.She was surprised at first but then this was what she could expect from Daniel. It was a relief for her. She was tired of being optimistic and positive to face reality.Daniel waited for Linda to react to the arrival of Rose but she did not show any emotion or expression. This made his heart sink for no reason."Hello Linda."Rose said while taking a seat next to Daniel and kissing his cheeks. She ran her fingers sexily on Daniel's arm.Daniel froze at her actions. He removed her hand and angrily glared at her. He then looked at Linda.He thanked God that she could not see all of this."I apologise for showing up like this and spoiling your evening but I really wanted to ask for forgiveness. I know I lied. I was blinded by jealousy. I hated you. But that was because I did not want to lose Daniel. I felt like he was going away from me. He'sThird person's p.o.v"Are you ready? Shall we go?" Daniel asked.Facing the mirror, Linda looked at Daniel through it. The only way she could stare at him without creating any doubts was through the reflecting surface. "Do you seriously want to go? I mean don't get mad. I did not want to but I unintentionally heard you talking on the phone this morning and I heard you cancelling a meeting. I can understand. We will need to attend your client's party in the evening too. I don't want you to feel tired and then complain." Linda scratched her neck nervously. She had an appointment with her doctor and disturbing Daniel was the least thing that she wanted. Who knew, he could go off the deep end like old times. "Did you wake up because of that? I should have answered the phone call in my study room. I'm so sorry."She was waiting for Daniel to yell at her and tell her to quit putting nose in his business. She was not expecting such a calm response from him. No matter how rude she was bei
Third person's p.o.vDaniel's eyes widened and he furiously held Max's collar."How dare you? She is my wife." The well built protectors of Daniel who was just standing a few meters away was now in the position to protect their master from his foe. There were guns in their hands and were directly pointed to Max. One sign from Daniel and Max would be buried underground. He did not even make an effort to stop them. Yet, instead of fearing those bodyguards, Max daringly continued to look at Daniel's eyes. He would rather face death than conquer it. "How dare I? How dare you torture her when you didn't know the truth. Do you imagine how much she suffered because of you? No husband treats his wife like a piece of shit. Just like you did."Max raised his voice. His eyes were showing pure hate. "And don't forget Linda already made it clear to you that she is with you because of her blindness. She is going to leave you after she gets her eyesight back. And I think it's for the best. She l
Third person's p.o.vAfter reaching home, Daniel took Linda to their room and went to his study room without saying a word. Linda took the opportunity to text Max. She fished out her phone from her handbag and directly went to the bathroom.Linda- Hey. Sorry I could not talk. Daniel was upset.Her mobile beeped after a minute.Max- you should have avoided him. Stop stressing yourself for him.*sighed* Never mind. Anyway, I saw her with that guy at the hospital today.Linda- Why would she come to the hospital? Max- I think she is pregnant. Linda- what? you sure? Max- I will try to confirm it as soon as possible. Linda- Thanks for helping me Max. You are the best. Max- do you want to stink my socks? I have not washed them for nearly a month. Linda- .... yuck :-|! Max- Lmao. Just want you to get out of that hell. You've already suffered a lot. You don't deserve a life like that. Linda- :-) I know. How is dad doing? Did you tell him I am on a trip with Daniel?Max- He is fine.
Third person's p.o.vOnce they reached their destination, Daniel put a hand on Linda's waist and held her tightly. There were going to be a lot of butterflies tonight and he did not want anyone to touch or look at the flower next to him. He wanted them to know that she was his. He proudly smiled at the paparazzi along with Linda. Linda thought history would repeat itself once again. Daniel would lead her inside until they were out of the paparazzi's sight and would dump her just like he did last time. But this time she was not going to be alone. Max would be there with her. Her best friend. Others might not be here but her friend would always stand by her side. So she waited. She waited for Daniel to remove his hand from her waist and leave her alone but much to her surprise nothing like that happened. Daniel did not leave. In fact, he introduced her to his clients and all. 'Why so many changes?' Linda thought to herself. Was he trying to get sympathy from them? No he would not
Third person's p.o.vMary dropped a bombshell on Linda. "Mom."Linda surprisingly looked at her. "How?"" I overhead you and Max.""Why are you doing this? Are you trying to take revenge on Daniel and us because we hid that letter? Is that why you played with our emotions?""No. I would never do that.""I'm not doing this because of vengeance and I'm sorry if I hurt you. I understand that Brant was just following his fatherly instinct. He wanted to protect his son. I wanted to tell you the truth the other day itself.""Then why?""Do you trust me?"Linda's voice cracked. "Of course I do. That's why I am here, asking for an explanation instead of telling Daniel.""Then please don't tell anyone about this. I am doing this for us. For the family. I am sorry I can't tell you the reason why I am faking my blindness but just know it's for the reunion of our family. Everything will be okay. I promise you that Daniel will return home. Back to you. I swear I will reveal the truth to everyon
Third person's p.ovThe sentence made her heart race faster than usual. "I am sorry." She heard a soft giggle from Daniel. Obviously, it was a sarcastic one. "Why are you apologising? It's not like it was you who abandoned me." Linda slightly raised her head up. Her eyebrows knitted and she wore a puzzled expression. 'Where were words like why did you lie to me about your fake blindness? Why did you betray me?'Realisation hit her when she replayed his words in her mind. 'Abandoned.' Did that mean Daniel heard only a part of the conversation?To make her hope turned into belief, she continuously took small steps to see the reaction of Daniel. To know whether he would stop her, shout at her or would ask for an explanation. However, when none of those happened she understood that he was grieving for something else. She stood there as still as a statue. He looked heartbroken and his face was showing various emotions. Her heart sank. She quietly watched him gulping the entire whis
Third person's p.o.vUpon waking up, Linda felt something heavy pressed against her body. She looked down and realised it was Daniel's hands. She rubbed the remaining sleep from her eyes and gazed at the person who was sleeping next to her. Their face was completely close and his hot breath was fanning her nose as well as her upper lips. He was looking like an angel while sleeping. She knew she promised Max that she would leave Daniel but it was for the first time they made love. It was a good thing that they did it in darkness. However, she made up her mind. She would consider this as a one night stand and would forget it. Her body was still sore and the lower part was painfully aching. It was her first time. It was supposed to.She glanced at Daniel and slowly caressed his soft white cheek. Groaning, Daniel opened his eyes and Linda immediately pulled her hand back and looked away.Looking at the angelic face in front of him, he cracked a big smile. Nonetheless, the smile disappe
Third person's p.o.vDaniel's words went unheard to Linda when she heard the sharp sound of the roaring car again. She understood that the driver wanted to run away so she immediately got up and mindlessly tried to stop it by chasing it but Daniel tugged her arm pulling her back. He stopped her right there and went towards the car. He tapped the car's window and threw a bunch of notes in the seat next to the driver. Shockingly, Linda turned to look at Daniel. The eyes that held love and emotions a few days ago were now filled with coldness and bitterness. She instantly realised what she did. She let Daniel unfold the truth herself. She slowly lowered her eyes to the ground. She was cursing herself in her mind. "Were you so desperate for vengeance?" Daniel held Linda tightly by her shoulder and slightly shook her. "I did not fake my blindness for revenge." Linda murmured. Looking back into Daniel's eyes, she tried to give an explanation but the hurt that she saw in them made he
