Happy Reading Sweethearts ♥️
Chapter 91 TWO DAYS LATER RONAN It has been two days since Dahlia got admitted, two days since I last saw any member of the Brights family. Just like Dahlia's father promised, he took everyone one away and not once did any of them come in to try and get me away from her. Her twin, who I'd come to learn deeply cared about her, stopped by each day but would watch us from the door and leave afterwards, without uttering a single word. I've stayed right next to Dahlia's side since I got here, sleeping here, cleaning her up and making sure she was comfortable. I completely forgot I was some hot shot CEO and left Blake to handle everything on his own. My phone was switched off, as I didn't want to take any business calls or whatsoever. My priority was to nurse Dahlia back to her feet and thankfully that seemed to be working out great, but all these did nothing to ease the heavy load on my chest, the guilt that I made her end up here was eating me up every single day. I had dark circles f
Chapter 92 RONAN “I sealed a deal with him yesterday. That's the last thing I recall. How did I end up here?” Dahlia asked. The room fell silent with Brandon and I exchanging glances. “I think you kind of fell down the stairs at DAHL. I found you unconscious at the bottom of the stairs, so I brought you here,” Gavin made the save in that moment of confusion. Dahlia nodded at his words. “Weird, I don't remember that happening…” “Anyways, thank you for saving me Mr. Bright. My husband, here.” she looked at me, let out a smile before continuing. “He would have had a heart attack if anything had happened to me.” “It's my pleasure to help, Dahlia.” Gavin let out a forced smile, looking at me and asking what the hell was going on. I had no idea, so I looked away. At that moment, Ivana’s voice sounded right outside the room, what followed was sounds of multiple footsteps approaching the door. I panicked. Until we actually confirm why some of Dahlia's memories were missing, they sho
Chapter 93 DAHLIA It has been a week since I got home from the hospital and honestly speaking, this past week has been blissful. Ronan told me I was in a coma for three days and sincerely, that has given me another view of life. Something could happen at any time, we could lose our lives at any time and so I decided before anything like this ever happens again, I would confess my feelings to Ronan. I was sure of it now, I love him and there were no two words about it. When he told me about his feelings for me on the night of our failed date, I was overwhelmed and doubted if I felt the same. But now, I could feel it. It was all clear, I was happy and clear headed this time around. And trust me when I say it, I have never been this happy in my entire life. That morning, I prepared for work alongside Ronan. He kept casting me glances, trying to make me change my mind from going to work today, but I stood my ground, returning each of his glances with a smile. Ronan felt different, not
Chapter 94 DAHLIA “We’ll be stopping at Ronan's company first before heading home,” I updated Brandon. He gave me a knowing look, nodded and went off to the car ready. I picked up my bag, locked my office and went after him. “I'm happy to have you back, Dahlia. You scared everyone,” Sophia approached me, smiling broadly. I returned the smile. “I'm happy to be back too.” She followed me into the elevator, like she had something to say. I kept shut, expecting her to let out whatever it was, but she didn't. We arrived at the parking lot. “I'll see you tomorrow, Dahlia,” she said, she still had a conflicted look on her face like she badly wanted to tell me something but held back. “Is there something you'd like to tell me, Sophia?” I decided to ask since she was having a hard time saying whatever it was. She shook her head. I shrugged, it seemed like she wasn't ready to talk. I got into the car. “Mr. Bright suggested we pay a visit to his company tomorrow. He has something to
Chapter 95 RONAN Seeing Dahlia at my office today had completely taken me by surprise. I never expected her to suddenly show up with no notice or whatsoever. It was something she has never done before. If I could recall correctly, the last time Dahlia set foot in here was when she came to submit the second proposal, that was way before we got married. The present Dahlia was full of surprises and I wasn't sure if I was enjoying them. Dealing with the guilt of putting her in this state, the guilt of making her like this, making her lose herself. She turned out like this because of me, I wasn't sure I was ever going to forgive myself for it. Ever since she woke from her coma, my life has never been the same. It was full of different surprises each day. Surprises that would have gladdened my heart had it been that things were different, surprises that would have brought us even closer had the circumstances been different. Dahlia was making conscious efforts to push our relationship f
Chapter 96 DAHLIA When Brandon drove me to Ronan's office, I asked him for a favour before he left. It was to help me set things up for my romantic surprise. I further got Blake and Anita involved to get things done more swiftly. During my drive back home with Ronan, I was in communication with them, texting and asking if they were done. When they confirmed that everything was ready, I asked them to help me stall Ronan, so I could go up to our room first. To check if everything was properly done and get ready myself. Anita helped with my makeup. I had put in a lot of effort into this and then what? It just fell apart. Ronan left me alone in bed, angry, confused, and sexually frustrated with no explanation. I felt like I did something wrong, but just couldn't pinpoint it. Communication was the key in relationships, but it seemed Ronan didn't know that. If I had done something wrong, he should've told me instead of just walking away, instead of just leaving. It hurt, I felt rejected.
Chapter 97 RONAN I hurt Dahlia, I was a jerk for doing that to her. For leaving her there on that bed. It was obvious that she put in a lot of effort to set the whole thing up but I ruined it. I know how I left her there on the bed was wrong, but I had no choice. I couldn't take advantage of her current state. When I walked back into the guest room, after running into Dahlia. I shut the door, and leaned my back against it, filled with regret. I had no control over it all and I knew things might continue to go on like this. I finally exited the room when Blake came to inform me that Dahlia had left for work. Running my hand through my hair, and heading to my room to shower and get ready for work. “I have something to tell you, Mr. Knight,” Blake called for my attention before I could head in. I halted. Raising a brow and urging him to speak. “Your wife didn't have breakfast, nor did she take her medicine before leaving.” “What? Why?” I asked. Did she decide not to take them to
Chapter 98 DAHLIA Brandon drove me to a beach. It appeared to be a private beach. There was a little exortic building by the side and there wasn't anyone there except for the two of us. “A friend of mine owns this place,” he told me, leading me to stand in front of the waters. “I once heard Mr. Knight say you scream at the seaside when you're pissed off, so, I brought you here to do that. We can scream and cuss him together. What do you think, Dahlia?” He raised a brow, smiling at me. His gesture filled my heart with warmth. I was grateful and really loved him for this. Don't get me wrong, the only man I'll ever love is Ronan. He might be a jerk but he is mine and I love him. What I feel for Brandon is…different. Like the kind of love you'd feel for a relative, a brother. “Ronan's a jerkface!!!!!” I screamed at the top of my lungs and ended up coughing. Brandon stood beside me, patting my back. “That was one loud scream. I almost went deaf. Want to do it again. We'll do it tog
Chapter 102DAHLIA“What?” I gazed wide-eyed at him.“I think you know exactly what I mean, Dahlia,” Brandon smiled.His smile wasn't like his usual friendly smile, it made me recoil and take steps backwards.He took a step towards me, that smile still on his face“Brandon? What are you doing? Take me back home right now!” I demanded He kept coming.“I'll scream!” I said with all seriousness.“We're in the middle of nowhere,” he countered.And that did it.I let out an ear piercing scream, one I was sure would be heard from miles away. Only then did Brandon take several steps backwards, raising his hands in surrender.“Mr. Knight is here. I know he has been avoiding you. He'll come out now if you keep screaming,” Brandon winked at me.I narrowed my eyes on him. He flashed me a smile.“I'm serious. You haven't been happy all day. I thought I could help.”“Thank you, Brandon,” I said, really grateful for his help.“But don't scare me like that again. I added a serious warning.”“Sorry
Chapter 101GAVIN“You did what?” Sophia yelled at the top of her voice, her fist clenched like she'd punch me if given the chance to.I took a step away from her. She covered the distance I just put between us.“Gavin, I thought better of you. Dahlia is your cousin for God's sake. You are supposed to be helping her recover, not making things worse!”“That's exactly what I'm doing, Sophia. Do not lecture me.” I love Sophia but during times like this, during times where we have misunderstandings. I absolutely detest being around her. “Really? Tell me how you're doing that. By trying to make her remember a conversation she has long forgotten. You gave her a freaking headache and what now? You decided to send her deranged step sister to her company. If that's your idea of helping her, then I have no idea what the hell I've been doing with you….”I turned, eyes widened and looked at her.“Really? You're going to pull our relationship into this? We've been together for over ten years, Sop
Chapter 100 DAHLIA Walking back into my office, Blake followed closely behind me. “Did you by any chance inform Roselle about you owning this place?” Blake asked. I faced him, still offended by the stupid stunt he pulled minutes ago. “First of all, Blake. I run this place. You do not get to block my path. You do not get to decide who I see and who I don't. It's an absolute disrespect to me. I am your boss’ wife and trust me, I can be stricter than Ronan,” I warned. He nodded at my words, in what I consider fake understanding. Ronan must have put him up to this. Tell me what the assistant of a large conglomerate CEO was doing at my office at 11pm, the pique of work hours. “I understand. I apologize for how I acted. Believe me, it was all on reflex,” he bowed his head. I scoffed. “You're forgiven. Go and sin no more,” I made a lame joke for no apparent reason. Clearing my throat, I spoke again. “For your question. I have no reason to tell Roselle about Helixx. I also haven't
Chapter 99 DAHLIA “What the hell are you doing?” I narrowed my eyes at Blake, rising from my seat and approaching him. Blake said no words, instead, he further moved to block my view of the door even more. “Please, go take a seat,” I gestured at my seat, infuriating me. “What do you mean by that?” I didn't even give him the chance to respond, I shoved him aside, hurrying to the door. The moment I pushed it open, what welcomed me was Brandon pulling a lady away. “Stop,” I called out to him, my voice firm and strict. This was my company after all, these two men had no right to turn away my visitor no matter who it turns out to be. Brandon halted, I could see his fist clench but it didn't bother me one bit. He overstepped today and I was going to reprimand him for that later. I walked up to them, pulling Brandon's hold off the lady's arm. I turned her around to look at me – Roselle. My eyes met that of my assistant who was still standing by the side, confusion evident in he
