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
Third person's p.o.vDeath. The end of a life with no point of returning back. Attending a funeral of someone whom Linda thought would forever be with her was immensely blood-curdling. There she stood lifelessly in the rain next to her father's casket in the graveyard. Seemed like mother nature was mourning as well. It was all gloomy and rain was pouring like cats and dogs. Some of the people in the blacked dress were showing their sadness by talking good about her father leaving no doubts that he left a good impression on every single person that he came across when he was alive. This did not go unheard by Linda. It was a proud moment for her but the situation said otherwise. If only her father was not lying blandly on the casket, ready to be buried six feet underground. Henry hated the color black. He said that it brought depression to him and yet he was effortlessly lying in a black suit along with so many people dressed in black color, attending his funeral. Who would care for
Third person's p.o.vTime seems to be a limited factor for Daniel. Sitting in the passenger's seat, he continuously glanced at his watch. Linda texted him and asked him to meet her at one of the penthouses that he gifted Rose. He was a little mixed up at first but later realised that he did not want to engage himself with useless thoughts. What mattered the most was Linda and the answers. "Are you sick or what?" Daniel was at his wit's end. Luke had been driving for almost twenty minutes and they were still in the way. It only took ten to fifteen minutes to reach the destination. "P-ardon me sir." Luke's breath became uneven and he caught a glimpse of Daniel in the rear mirror. He was staring at him. "Can't you drive faster?" "M-my apologies sir."After hearing an angry and frustrated Daniel, Luke accelerated and drove as fast as he could. An angry Daniel equaled a hungry lion. He was not in the position to care about the speed limit. The wish of Daniel was his command.~"~"~"~
Third person's p.o.vAs soon as Linda entered the house, she felt a coldness hitting her. The place that once comforted and warmed her turned into a place that she longer wanted to reside in. Every single time she entered the house she felt unwelcome. No longer was the man who would stand at the entrance of the door and smile joyfully at her. Neither would she experience that parental hug which provided her safety. Never would she taste the pancakes that would uplift her mood anymore. Everything in the house became a source of her father's remembrance.In the past, the house gave her hope to find the meaning of life. Now the same residence snatched that hope. Her father was the life of this house. Now it felt dead. She took a deep breath and shove those memories away. Her father would not want to see her like that. He might already be suffering after knowing the truth of her marriage.But she would not let the same thing repeat. There was a new life ahead and she was going to live
Linda’s p.o.v ‘Our journey of love was full of ups and downs, it will be in the future as well. No marriage is perfect, but I will nevertheless make an effort to appear flawless in your eyes and you will not walk through it alone. If I make mistakes along the way, please remind me, correct me, and love me till I come to my senses. You are the only one who can guide me home. Today, I am asking you to be my date forever. For I will always choose you.’ The tears that I had been holding while reading the letter were finally out on that part. I did not know when Daniel fell so hard for me that I would actually question my love for him. Did his love beat my love for him? Whatever it was, the feeling of receiving a letter from the groom while waiting to be manifested at the altar was one of the best moments on the wedding day. I finally found my heaven on Earth and I needed nothing else. Our love won. It was bliss. I acquired so much during the few days and he was always there for me.
Third person’s p.o.v“What have you done, you freak?”She roared with trembling lips and watery eyes. She witnessed a murder and she could lose her mind. “I should have done that earlier. I loved Lilith but she was not living as per my according. I was not hitting her for pleasure, I was just giving her a correction and how I would sleep with her if she was going to be a mother. I did that because I cared for her. You remember the lake view, it was her favourite place.”“Watching you there made my heart rest. It feels like I was watching her. I even got rid of that girl Serena for you. She tried to harm you.”Linda gasped in horror. He killed Serena. He was a total psychopath and she wanted to vomit. On top of that, he had the audacity to say that he loved Lilith with that filthy mouth of his. She cursed herself badly in her mind for not recognising such a monster. He was a total devil in disguise. He made her do things that Lilith loved to keep her alive. He was sick. “Wear this.
Third person's p.o.v A calmness settled over the cemetery amid the gently swaying branches and the lovely kind of flowers. Linda kneed in front of her parents' grave. She missed them. She handed Morillo all the information that he needed a day before itself and came to seek peace near her parents today. She was going to settle for a new life and without their blessings, it would not be possible. Plus, as bizarre as it might be, she felt tranquillity in that space more than in the house. Daniel's mind was still processing her words so he did not disturb her after getting home. He went through a check-up in a clinic after the incident and shut himself in his room. She was hurting as well. After all, she still loved him but one-sided love would never be enough for a marriage. She went through it once.She had a conversation with Max as well and was relieved to know that he supported her in every decision. She sighed. Maybe she was cursed in love. Taking a glance at her watch, she b
Third person's p.o.vLinda lay down on the fresh green grass near the lake Lucas had shown her the other day. She needed some time alone for herself. Her presence counted for more than an hour. It would be a little quirky to say but she felt a connection with the place even when she first came here. Her mind continuously denied it but her heart did not. The peace of mind that she got was unbelievable. She decided to let her life go with the flow and accept all the positive things that were incoming. She was admiring the infinite sky when her mind sent her a signal to become alert as she heard fallen leaves being crunched as if people were walking on them. She stood up and hid behind one of the big trees and waited for the person to walk in. However, instead of one, she felt like there were more. She removed her shoes and tip-toed secretly to see what it was. She was surprised though. Lucas had told her that it was a secret passage. No one except her and him could experience the bea
Third person’s p.o.vLinda woke up early in the morning and the memories of the day before flashed in her mind. It was a beautiful dream that would come once in a while. Daniel apologised to her for not buying her a cake but she reassured him that she did not want that either. Her day was made special by her special person. What made it even more exceptional was the time at the beach. After they had their dessert, they heard a boy singing and playing guitar for his girlfriend. Linda found it cute and complimented their pair as well as the boy’s idea to impress his girl. Nevertheless, she did not know what took over Daniel. He approached them and exchanged his car for the guitar for one hour. Thereafter, he asked Linda her favourite song and he played the guitar while singing to her. Linda felt blessed. She did not miss her father to such an extent that would damage her emotionally. She did not get the opportunity. Unwillingly, Daniel increased the love and respect she had for him
Third person’s p.o.vLinda sat down in the movie theatre and was entertained by the film. On the other hand, Daniel sat down hiding his face at every moment he felt a jump scare would occur. While it was Linda who was supposed to be in that character, Daniel was playing that role. He gripped Linda’s hand and sometimes would hide his face behind her which would cause Linda to get annoyed. Yet, as a supportive friend, she would let him do that. After all, he had surrendered himself to her for that day. “You were such a baby.”Linda teased him while walking to the parking lot and Daniel was following her. He was still getting goosebumps. “You don’t need to remind me.”“Baby Daniel.”“Stop.” “Crying baby Daniel.”“What did you say?”At a pace, Daniel galloped in from behind her and came close to her threatening to say that again. Linda repeated and ran to their car full of laughter.She opened the door only to hear a loud bang and it was closed by a force which was eventually Daniel
Third person’s p.o.vIn the morning when Linda woke up, she received a surprise that she thought was from Daniel. Her favourite pancakes and the petals of lilies were scattered on a small table next to her bed, which elated her. Just when she was about to devour the pancakes, her eyes snapped to the person entering her room. "Good morning." "Good morning, Daniel and it's bad manners to enter someone's room before asking for permission." Linda taunted him and he rolled his eyes. "Thank you for these by the way. They are totally delicious. You have improved a lot." Linda's thankfulness threw off Daniel and he stared at her blankly. "I would love to receive your gratitude but it's not me who prepared this." Daniel took a bite and let out the word yum. On the other hand, disappointment washed over Linda. She thought Daniel cooked her a special cake for her birthday. However, with that feeling, confusion tagged along. If it was not Daniel's doing then who. "My apologies for interr
Third person's p.o.vLucas and Daniel were making their way to the girls when Lucas witnessed a hand on the surface of the pool. He analysed the place and a haze of fear surrounded him when he did not notice Linda's presence. He threw the drinks, not caring where or on whom it would end. Taking out his coat, he ran towards the pool and jumped in the water. Panic engulfed Daniel when Lucas performed those actions. He did what he needed to do and moved to the pool quickly. Terror seized him as Lucas brought the person out of the water. A half-unconscious Linda was in his arms. Blood drained from his face and he stood rooted to the ground."Lend me a hand." Only when Lucas shouted for help, he came to his senses. He pulled Linda out and held her in his arms. She was shaking from head to toe. Daniel removed his suit and covered her while Lucas got out of the pool and suggested making Linda sit on the couch above if she was comfortable and okay. Daniel sat along with Linda and provide
Third person's p.o.vDaniel kept his gaze at the entrance and did a double take when he finally saw Linda entering with her arm entangled with Lucas' arm. Her face was shining and she was looking drop-dead gorgeous. Her semi-embroidered pale-orange strapless dress highlighted her tiny waist, fitted her hips, and slightly stretched out. A less embroidered beneath cloth was seen through a side V-slit.He stood still, gaping at the woman who was making her way toward him. He had no idea why he wanted to continue looking at her.Lucas selected their masks and they directly came to him. “Hi.” Linda provided an energetic smile that radiated bright happiness. “Hi.”Daniel was affected by her affectionate smile and unwillingly blushed. "Hello, Mr. Anderson." Lucas initiated a handshake which caused Daniel to jolt and distracted. His lips curled inwards but he shook his hands to av
