A sob tore from Daniella’s throat. Then another. And another. Fresh tears soaking her eyes like a sweatshirt tearing from its layer – this pain was breaking her heart.Her heart was wounded in her chest. So heavy.“I’m sorry, Dad,” she cried her eyes out, trembling terribly until she could no longer stand and had to crouch to her knees.After crying for a long time, she stopped crying, wiped her tears thoroughly and then stood up – readying to face it. No matter how much she cries, she was most certainly sure that Liam wouldn’t come to comfort her or anything. It is what she had seen written clearly around his face earlier and of course it is expected to be like that.Nevertheless, she needed to make him understand that she was not in her working mind when she had blurted out such hideous words to him the night before. She needed to beg him because she can’t stay away from him.Soon, Daniella was already standing behind the closed door to her parent’s room and knocked on the door
“I’m an irresponsible, horrible, shameless, and disgusting father, Henry.” Liam pronounced word by word in a slurred tone.He gazed up at Henry with dim doleful eyes that spoke of heartbreak, betrayal, remorse and undying love, and it didn’t take long before his eyes were beginning to shine with unshed tears.“She hates me so much now, Henry,” Liam continued, but closed back his mouth when the image of how broken Daniella looked at that night appeared in his eyes. Recalling that night again, Liam felt like invisible knives were wrenching his heart again and again and in order to block out his thoughts, he reached out to grab his bottle of liquor but surprisingly found it gone. “Where’s my…” he trailed off when he looked up and saw the bottle in Henry’s hold.Liam shut his eyes lazily and opened them almost immediately and like that, he suddenly leaned over the table and attempted to snatch the bottle from Henry.“No, Boss,” Henry told him sternly, taking his hand that was holding th
As Daniella drove with the highest speed she had ever driven before, her heart kept beating loudly in her chest that she could hear it like a beating drum in her ears.Her hands were cold and clammy as they shakily regulated the steering wheel.“Oh, Lord. Please save my Dad and I promise to never miss church service ever again,” she prayed in a silent voice as tears overflowed from her eyes.Daniella raced recklessly, wishing there's a way she could activate wings to her car or anything, just anything that could take her to the hospital in the fastest way. It didn't take long before she started seeing the traffic ahead of her and she cussed loudly before reversing almost immediately, turning into the road on the left side in an attempt to take the shortcut route.However, she soon saw some men at work blocking the road with the traffic cone.“Fuck!” Daniella cursed through clenched teeth before unlocking the door and rushed out of the car and went straight to where the group of men
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,
