A smile broke upon Michael’s lips while he watched these two best friends embracing themselves affectionately as though they’ve been away from each other for years.

The view was really fascinating to him. “I’m so sorry, Ella. Please forgive me,” Mandy kept repeating these words like a mantra into Daniella’s ear with more tears rushing down her face.

“Shush,” Daniella patted her warmly in her arms, “That’s enough,”

Soon, Mandy unlocked from the tight hug and looked into Daniella’s eyes carefully while touching her face.

“I thought I’ve lost our friendship, Ella. I thought you’ll never want to talk to me again,”

Her voice broke down along with another fresh wave of tears as she quickly smuggled herself into Daniella’s chest again as if she was going to disappear before her eyes.

“A day without you in it is useless, Ella. Please don’t ever stay mad at me again. Michael is no longer my friend. I’ll choose you a million times over him, I promise. So please don’t leave me again, I beg

    Daniella arrived back into the house and headed straight for the stairs and then to her parents’ bedroom. Upon getting there, she saw that her mother’s body was now tucked under the bed covers and serenity on her face as she slept so peacefully.But, the placid and lovely movement her father was doing to her mother made her heart constricted in pain.Liam was caressing Jessica’s hand in his without shifting his gaze from her face. Seeing this gesture, Daniella clenched her dress in her grasp tightly as if she wanted to rip it off her body. She couldn’t fight the welling of jealousy in her heart at that moment. “You can go back to work now, Dad. I’ll take care of her,” she enunciated in a soft voice. After battling to bring her temper under control for a few minutes and which she successfully did.“No, Ella. I want to be with her,” Liam retorted sharply, without even sparing Daniella a free glance. Then he extended his hand to Jessica’s forehead and removed the wisp of her hair and

    Jessica dismounted the last stairway and glided in a classy manner to where Liam was waiting for them in the sitting room.“How do I look?”Liam’s eyes took in her dressing from bottom to up. She looked classy and dignified in her purple evening dress but the valuable and dazzling jewelry on her was even more eye-catching.“You look good, Jessica,” Liam admitted with a light smile gracing his handsome face.“Mmm, mmm,” Jessica beamed while she moved closer to stand beside him before they took their eyes toward the stairs and saw Daniella coming.“Aww, she’s here.” Jessica was smiling so big as she watched her only child with pure adoration. Meanwhile, Liam’s breath has left his body at that moment.His heart started racing and blood ran hot in his veins as something roared into his chest.She wore a black dress with an inspiring design that revealed her back. The two sides of the dress are divided – all the way extending to the waist and hip lines.Her fair back was exposed, exuding

    “Yes, Ella. It’s me,”A wide grin split across Matthew’s cheeks as he lowered himself onto the nearby stool and dragged himself closer to Daniella.“Are you okay?” he asked, looking at her worriedly. Instead of responding, Daniella averted her gaze to the dance floor where her father and mother were holding each other and twirling romantically like every other couple there on the floor with them.Tears instantly blurred her eyes, clouding her throat and making it hard to speak. She felt like a huge rock had grown in her chest – her chest was that heavy.“Do you want us to step outside for a moment?” Matthew suggested after noticing the dejected expression on her face.He’d followed her line of gaze just now and saw Jessica and Liam dancing happily around the dim lights but he couldn’t understand why she looked so sad.With a nod of her head, she slid off the tall stool and wandered toward the back door – leaving Matthew to follow her who soon fell in steps with her. Matthew led her

  • Her Forbidden Attraction    REMORSEFULNESS

    The tiny ray that penetrated through the lines of the drawn curtains hovered at Daniella’s sleeping face and it seemed to arouse her. She stirred bit by bit while she slowly forced her eyes open. At first, she couldn’t see anything as everything appeared to be very blurred in her eyes.As a result, she squeezed her eyes shut and cleared them at once. Again, everything didn't look clear in her eyes but wasn’t as blurry as before. All of a sudden, a loud yelp flew out of her mouth while her two hands went up to her head and took hold of it as if it was about to fall off her neck.“Fuck,” she swore between gritted teeth, palming her head strongly.Daniella stayed in that position for several minutes and she was thankful the headache died down a bit. Then, she got out of the bed and walked up to the dressing mirror to check what had gotten into her eyes that was making her unable to see clearly.Staring back at her reflection in the mirror, she slowly raised her hand, used her finger to

    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

    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

    “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
