Third person's p.o.vSometimes life will make you give up what you love the most. In Linda's case, everything that she loved she gave them up without receiving anything in return. She once gave up painting due to the loss of her mother and now her love for the sake of her best friend.But what Daniel showed her had blown her mind away. He had registered her name for a painting exhibition which would be held in five days from today. More surprisingly it was the one she saw the day they were distributing leaflets. She had no idea Daniel had noticed her looking at that poster. "You are selected due to your talent. I only mailed them your information and a piece of your work which I found in the store. Don't worry, I will sponsor you everything. Your work will be exhibited in ten famous countries if the company loves it." "Have you lost your mind? You did not even ask me and you just mailed them my data? Do you know how much courage it took to give up on drawing and you are telling m
Third person's p.o.vDay 1From the land of dreams to the land that needed her. Linda was suddenly awake. Her dreams finally came to a conclusion. It was time to engage in the real world again. She rubbed her eyes when the sun rays kissed her face. Slightly, she opened them and saw the face that she always wanted to see every morning. Daniel was sitting next to her and looking at her with admiration. "Good morning." He tucked her hair behind her ear. "Good morning."Linda replied with a smile and sat."Get up. You have a lot to do." "Painting?" Daniel nodded and her smile vanished. "I don't think I'm sure about that?" She was not ready. Not at all. Holding that light pencil to draw would be like putting a ton of bricks on her back and asking her to run a marathon. "Of course you are. You made impossible become possible. You made me fall in love with you. Then what made you think you aren't certain about this one? It's a piece of cake for you. Now get up. We need to buy mater
Third person's p.o.vDay 4 From being the unwanted one to being the wanted. The journey was quite long and not so appreciative. However, it was worth it. In the end, Linda was loved by the one she loved. Even if they would no longer be known as husband and wife after one day, their bond would still be as strong as they made it. She finally got the feeling of being requited. She blindfolded both Daniel and Max and made them follow her to the room where her painting which was fully completed was kept. She was not certain if it would reach the top three but she was happy because she found peace. Another reason happiness found her was because Daniel was also happy. Even when they both decided to part ways, Daniel still cared for her and was delighted for her. Moreover, it was Daniel who inspired her to do what she loved. If he had not forced her, then her hidden dream and passion would have remained hidden."Are you both ready?" She asked both enthusiastically. Daniel said yes and M
Third person's p.o.v After arriving at the entrance of the gallery, Linda took a long breath. She complimented the building in front of her with her eyes. She was just one step back to achieve her mother's as well as her dream. She finally felt proud. One step ahead and everything would change.She looked ahead and saw Max waiting for her at the threshold of the gallery. She let out a sigh of relief and beamed. Delicately, she put her hand under Daniel's arm and curled the hand back over it. An important day with her loved ones. She took one step ahead but was stopped when she witnessed no movements from Daniel. She turned back and what she saw was not something to feel good about. Daniel stood there with a sad smile on his face. "Aren't you going to take your gift?"Their gazes intertwined and all she could see was sadness. "I know what has been done has been done. I cannot take it back. Still, I retract all the bad things I ever said to you. I never meant to say that. It was j
Third person's p.o.vTime and love will ultimately and forever be yours if you sincerely make an effort to want them. For they can never be bought. Linda learnt that after her unrequited love was finally reciprocated after waiting for such a long time. Requited means to repay or return something. In her case, Daniel repaid her with care, attention and love. She could not characterise her feelings in words. After Daniel and her confessed their feelings for each other, they dated for two weeks. They decided not to rush things this time and spent some quality time together. And then last week, he did something that made Linda paralysed with happiness. He romantically proposed to her in the middle of the ocean in a wooden raft without forgetting the decorations. As far as for Linda, she never expected a proposal. Though she always wanted one. A simple one. Step by step Daniel was fulfilling all of her dreams without even confessing her desires to him. Daniel wanted the marriage to hap
Third person's p.o.vLinda gazed at the unknown person who was in front of her in confusion. It was her first time seeing him. He was elegantly dressed up in a typical black suit with a white shirt inside along with a tie.The tattoo of a skull on his neck made him look notorious and the grey-coloured eyes dangerous. Without forgetting the black hat with a white trim on his head. He seemed to be a man in his late fifties.Behind him stood another four men who wore matching clothes except for the hat. They looked younger and all of them had a menacing aura. If Linda had to define them then she would call them mobsters. No stranger would be ready to provide his or her blood to someone they did not know all of a sudden. Along with the man was Brant. Linda's eyes clouded over and she stared at Mary. However, what she saw was not something to appreciate. Her teary eyes were shooting daggers at her husband as if demanding him answers. Linda was all over a lot. Her mother-in-law was not s
Third person's p.o.vAn alarming siren along with flashing blue and red lights ordered the double doors of the emergency room to automatically open. A lone hospital stretcher on which laid a wounded bloody patient was being pushed to the surgery room by the doctors and nurses accompanied by him. He was running out of breath and his entire body was shaking with fear. Everyone over there was breaking out in a cold sweat. The only difference was that the medical persons were worried about the lady who was unconsciously and lifesslesly lying on the stretcher while the man was stressed because his life and reputation were in danger. However, somewhere deep inside, guilt was forming. The stormy night and the raining of cats and dogs was making the atmosphere more gloomy. He was all soaked. The blood in his shirt was mixed with the rain water and was dripping on the floor. Suddenly, darkness surrounded the place and everything became black. No longer were the medical men, the rooms and t
Third person's p.o.v Linda's body stiffened and went rigid. Her brain could not process Brant's words completely. A moment of activeness was suddenly interrupted by drowsiness, followed by a shock. Linda did not know she was holding her breath until a cool breeze touched her beautiful pale face, making her hair wave dramatically in slow-motion. Her mouth opened and closed like a goldfish. Words failed her. Slowly, she blinked at her father-in-law. Daniel could do anything but killing someone, that was the least thing she expected. "Da-daniel ki-" She tried to ask the question that was tugged in her mind since the revelation but the riveting panic was being an obstacle. Brant stared at Linda in concern. That was the reaction he was expecting from her. "It was not done unintentionally. The night was dark, stormy and rainy and out of nowhere the girl appeared in front of Daniel's car. When he took her to the hospital he called me and I did everything I could to save him from gett
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
