Daniella felt her tightened so hard in her chest as if someone were trying to squeeze the life out of her while she watched the doctor and the four nurses hovering over her father from the rectangular, transparent little space on the door.

The Doctor had restricted her from coming inside and even though she had wanted to argue with him and stubbornly go in with them, she could not do that because she had done something terribly wrong with them just a moment ago.

Now that she was unable to go in there to support her father and fight for his life together, she just kept praying earnestly for her father’s safety in her mind from where she stood planted with her face buried into the glass door.

Although, the doctor had assured her many times that it's nothing to worry about that her father will surely be alright, but she couldn't just shake off the worry that had filled her. Not when she had seen a piece of glass engraved into his forehead.

Thinking of this, a large two tears rolled down

    Daniella gazed at the steaming hot soup on the cooker and mentally shook her head. Even in her own her eyes, she could see that what she had just prepared was far from what can be termed as ‘soup’. It looked like a concoction and the taste was very awful that she had the urge to puke just now after having a taste of it.She itched her hair in shame and turned off the gas cooker. Gosh! She couldn’t possibly give this to her father, as she was almost sure that she’d end up poisoning him.“Arghhhhh,” she grunted under her breath while she wore back the cooking gloves and then put away the pot from the cooker and stepped out to dispose the whole thing.Of course, Daniella had watched her father preparing all sorts of soup in her presence before, not once or twice. But she had not always paid attention to how her father prepares it, instead she would focus on his breathtaking face and every single step he takes as he cooks, as if she was watching the only most interesting thing in the w

    Unbiddenly, the Doctor’s lips fell apart slightly as he’d never expected Liam to have guessed his daughter’s wrongdoing so accurately.“I’m genuinely sorry for any inconvenience she might have caused you, Doctor. It’s all my fault,” Liam said to the Doctor, a soft smile on his handsome pale face.The Doctor waved at him, “No, no. It’s okay” he chuckled before stealing a glance at where Daniella was still holding Liam’s other hand, “I think I understand the great bond between you two,”The Doctor didn’t allow his final words to digest well to those he’d delivered them to before he adjusted his glasses and cleared his throat and continued, “Just a piece of advice, sir. Please it would be wise if you limit your intake of liquor, it almost gets you killed today, you know?”Daniella’s eyes widened immediately, “My Dad will never drink in a daylight, Doctor,” she snapped.“I’m sorry, Miss, but your Dad did. He did drink a lot that he was literally reeking of alcohol when he was brought here

    A very radiant smile was still radiating Liam’s face but the smile lessened when he noticed that Daniella was uncovering a food flask.“Ella?” he called out, disbelief taking over his features, “Don’t tell me it's what I'm thinking,” A slow grin appeared on Daniella’s lips as she got on her feet, “Yes, Dad. It's what you are thinking,” she replied while holding out the food flask to Liam.Liam was rendered speechless and gave Daniella a lingering gaze in silence. Although he knew too well that Daniella can't cook. In fact, she'd never attempted to cook in the past but she did that today all because of him. Liam had no idea how to describe his mood as he felt that Daniella loved him too much and would do anything for him. That's who she was. Not even Jessica could love him the way Daniella does. He watched her, stark love in his eyes as he eventually took the flask from her.Daniella on the other hand didn't know what was going through her fathers’s head. However, the way he was st

    Daniella hurried out of her car, spared the building a glance to be sure she was at the right place before rushing into the cafe as if her ass was on fire. God! She couldn't understand why she was so curious to know about the man that she had left her unwell father and came all the way here just to listen to some damn information about him.She got into the lunchroom and she couldn't be less glad after noticing that there were not many people in there which made it a lot easier to catch sight of Theresa.Theresa too was already waving at her from the extreme end corner at the left side of the area and Daniella quickly scampered to the place.“Hi. Not to sound rude, Theresa, please I need you to cut to the chase without wasting my time. I was actually attending to something extremely important before I received your call,” Daniella sounded very impatient as she scooted a chair backward and sat down, facing Theresa.Yes, her father is very important to her and her mother too. At least,

    “Kiss me, Ella,” Liam murmured the words close to her mouth, and she felt chills down her spine. An amused glint entered Daniella’s eyes and she became so embarrassed that her neck was as flushed as her face.“Come on, I'm still waiting,” Liam uttered in a voice barely above whisper, his breathing coming out fast…nervously.Daniella soon noticed the fast-breathing of her father’s heart and a bright smile covered her lips as she placed a hand on his chest. She was so damn glad to realize that her father’s heart beat for her just like hers does for him too.So instead of kissing him, she offered her lips to him. Liam took what his daughter offered. His hand went around her neck to bring her closer as his lips covered hers. He positively ravaged her mouth, kissing her thoroughly until she was breathless before he pulled back slightly.Daniealla breathed enthusiastically as they both stared at each other passionately. She thought that her father looked more relaxed than she had ever see

    Michael leaned against his car bonnet, his eyes staying on the gigantic gate of Mandy’s house impatiently. The only earnest wish he had at that moment was for the gate to slide open and reveal Mandy already. His wish was granted directly and his eyes flashed endearingly the moment his eyes came in contact with Mandy’s. Michael forgot to breathe or maybe his breath was caught in his throat and bit by bit, he pushed to standing straight- his eyes never discarding from Mandy’s figure.He admired the way the purple long dress clung to her body and graced her well-structured hips. The neckline of the dress was slightly low and revealed the top of her breasts but not the furrows between them. “Stop gawking at me as if you’re going to devour me soon, babe. You and I both shopped for this dress together and you saw it on me that day,” Mandy spoke up firmly, trying to conceal her blushing face because she had become terribly hot from his stare.By the time she finished talking, she was alrea

    Liam was left standing in only his underwear while Daniella was in her undone bra and panties. Liam took the bra from her body and dropped it at their feet before he finally broke the kiss. However, he didn’t stop; instead he trailed kisses down her neck to her shoulder and then stopped at her breasts.“Do you know how much I miss this?” he grumbled, raising his eyes to meet Daniella’s lust-filled brown ones. Liam’s hand caressed her nipples until they gathered, pointedly and begging for more of his sinful touch.“I miss this too, Dad. So much than you can ever imagine,” Daniella answered breathlessly. Her hand caressing the back Liam’s head and her body humming with lust for him.His head came forward and he gently took her hard nipple into his mouth and suckled in, causing Daniella to cry out severely. She threw her head back as pleasure punched through her. She tightened her hand behind his head to keep him as close as possible and within a few seconds later, Liam started sucking

    “Don’t you think such an announcement shouldn’t be made at my back?” this voice suddenly cut through the ambience, surprising the cheery people.And the second everyone turned around and saw the man that just spoke, their expressions became sore and the huge smile displaying on their faces just now died out at once.Michael especially, his face had grown into stone – coated with heavy frown lines while his stomach churned with disgust. “I didn’t remember inviting you to this party, Nathan,” he squeezed the words out through angrily gritted teeth, his eyes filling with chilling anger.“Oh, c’mon, man. Don’t be ridiculous,” Nathan waved at him dismissively while he amounted his footsteps closer to where they stood, “Whether or not I come to this party isn’t left for you to decide ‘cause you’re not the celebrant,” his shoulders squared and his chin high in pride as he spoke nonchalantly.And immediately after his words, Michael left where he was standing and went to hurl his clenched fi

    FIVE YEARS LATERRight in front of a lengthy portrait of a wedded couple that had their best smiles on their faces, there stood an almost old man— gazing at the beautiful married couple with tears running down his face. The tears were a mix of boundless joy and grievance. And this especially happens whenever he watches the big picture like he was doing at the moment.“Oh, there you are,” a soft smiling feminine voice drifted to the man and followed by footsteps fast approaching. He already knew who the person was even without turning around. “Beautiful couple, huh?” the woman sidled up to him, her eyes overly bright when staring at the picture too. “I still can't forgive myself, Jessica,” he suddenly let out, breaking the brief silence that took place and turning his head to peek at the stunning woman beside him. “Whenever I look at Daniella’s wedding picture, Jessica, I feel like I don't deserve to be forgiven for my outrageous crime in the first place and I should have died alo

    Daniella sprinted into the terminal in a way that people around thought that she was being chased by something they couldn't see but only she could see.She kept darting her eyes around as she ran, not paying heed to the security man running after her advice to slow down. “Ouch!” she suddenly yelped out, bending in two and holding her right leg. She'd just tripped on her foot. “The reason I urged you to stop running, Miss,” the security guard enunciated, catching up with her and holding her to steady herself. Daniella spared him a grateful look and started walking lamely, holding the man’s hand tightly for support.Soon, they got to the airline front desk where two beautiful women sat behind, greeting passengers and checking tickets. The security guard stepped forward and asked, “Has the Spain flight taken off?” “Yes. It just took off five minutes ago,” one of the women answered eloquently and returned to her business. It felt like a stab in Daniella’s heart and if the security

    The following day after the morning lecture, Mandy’s arm was linked into Daniella’s as they both sauntered out of the hall. “I called Matthew yesterday. He said he's out of the country, Ella, and it’s most likely he won't be returning anytime soon,” Mandy uttered, looking as sadly as she felt.Daniealla only puffed out a breath and said nothing. Maybe it was for the best. “Have you heard that Mr. Brandon resigned yesterday?” These words wafted toward Daniella and Mandy and they both stopped walking directly and then spun to see who'd just spoken. There they stood two ladies, facing each other and seemed really engrossed in their discussion.“Which Mr. Brandon? You mean the same Liam Brandon? The most handsome per-time lecturer in our school?” the other girl asked her gossiping ally, her eyes bulging outwards with shock.“Of course, Priscilla. The same Mr. Brandon who has a daughter here in our college. Don't tell me you haven't heard of it when the news has been spreading around t

    “That was how it all happened,” Jessica concluded and wiped the tears slipping down her face. “I’m really sorry, Daniella. Please forgive me,” Her emotions were raw as she sniffled and wiped away the tears that kept flowing down her face in a gush. “So, dad gave up on his love for me, Mom,” Daniella professed, remorse etched across her face. “He let go the primary reason he left the orphanage home to be with you because you claimed you didn't want to raise a child without a father. Yet, mom, you had the nerve to charge someone like that?” Her throat choked up, she had to stop talking and take a deep breath to get herself under control again. “I won't forgive you if he probably does anything stupid, mom. Trust me, I will hold you accountable if anything bad happens to him,” Daniella deadpanned, her tears breaking loose and streaking down her cheeks.“No, my dear. Nothing bad will happen to Liam,” Jessica reproached gently, inching closer and reaching out to hold Daniella’s hands

    Jessica got to the hospital parking lot in no time—her eyes darting around as if she was searching for someone. She went farther into the garage, turning around and around and soon, she found who she was looking for and her temper aggravated immediately. She dashed toward the person’s car and called out his name from behind who was about to get in his car, “Antonio Flores,”Antonio looked back swiftly and a look of contentment flashed on his countenance as soon as he saw Jessica with the flowers.Infuriated, Jessica stormed three steps in his direction and hit him with the bouquet once and then let it go to the ground. “Are you mad? What do you think you're doing?” she squeezed the words out through angrily gritted teeth.Taken aback, Cole, Antonio’s assistant quickly veered to the other side of the car where his boss was and planned to interfere. But, a single movement of Antonio’s head ceased his action. He bowed in understanding and only crouched a bit and picked up the huge be

    Michael sat at the extreme end of the bed with a sleeping Daniella while Mandy sat on a chair with her head resting on the space beside Daniella, holding her hand. She had long fallen asleep after Michael’s solacing words. Michael sat there, watching the two sleeping friends with pure affection plastered on his face. Shortly, he noticed that Daniella was starting to move slowly. Her long, thin eyelashes trembled for some time before she was able to slowly open them. “Ella,” Michael called out softly, rising to his feet, “You’re awake,” Daniella was gazing at the unfamiliar ceiling in a daze and her-sleep dazed eyes cleared when she heard Michael’s voice. “What are you doing here?” she asked in an extremely low voice and Michael wouldn't have heard her question if he'd not read her lips.Giggling, Micheal scratched the skin behind his neck, unsure of how to respond to her question. Daniella then tried to retract but she discovered that her hand was being held. She tilted her he

    By the time Liam arrived at the facade of the villa, Daniella’s car was already fast-speeding out of the yard. “God!” Liam exclaimed and then started running toward one of his cars among the numerous cars in the garage. He reached the car and dug his hands into his pocket to fetch the car keys only then did he realize that he wasn't with any car keys. “Fuck you, Liam!” he cussed at himself before dashing back into the house. He sprinted out almost immediately, running back toward the car as if his ass was on fire. ‘Merciful Lord, please take over the steering, don't let anything bad happen to Ella,’ he prayed inwardly while he jumped onto the driver’s seat, turned on the ignition, and drove out of the house with velocity. In a matter of moments, Liam had reached the highway and it didn't take long before he caught the glimpse of Daniella’s car speeding frightfully among the multiple cars on the roadway. He broke out in a cold sweat as he also accelerated to the same rate as Dan

  • Her Forbidden Attraction    THE TRUTH

    “Please, Jessica. I’m sick and tired of acting like a father to the woman I love,” Liam’s throat felt heavy and tears blurred his eyes. “I know this isn’t part of our deal, Jessica. I know very well that this isn’t what you assigned me for and this was not what I signed for but I can’t help myself any longer. I’ve fallen in love with your daughter while watching her grow up,” “I kept telling myself that I’m Daniella’s father and I shouldn’t be falling so hard for my daughter but my heart is strongly against the sentiment. My heart, body, soul, every single cell in my body longs for Daniella, Jessica,” Tears overflowed from his eyes as he ever-so-slowly went on his knees, pressing his palms together in a pleading manner and looking up at Jessica with his face full of tears.“I will always remember the huge favor you've done for me, Jessica. You found me on the street and gave me a new life. I swear to God, Jessica, I'll never take all the support you rendered me during my helplessne

    TWO DAYS LATER.Jessica looked for her seat number on the ticket she was holding just like every other person in the queue. Soon, a tiny smile touched her lips the moment she found it and saw that it was the window seat.She advanced toward her seat and settled down and then dropped her handbag on her thighs. Smiling, she watched the people around her with sheer happiness. She had decided to board an economic flight instead of her regular first class. She just wanted to be among the crowd; perhaps it would help draw away her persistent thinking. Her smile widened when she saw two kids—a boy and a girl fighting over the window seat in the second roll. Their mother came forward and put an end to their fight by occupying the seat and the two kids both stuck out their tongues at each other simultaneously. Jessica chuckled and was about to tilt her head to look out of the window when a tall figure suddenly enveloped her. She looked up at the figure looming in front of her and a flick
