She tucked herself in bed right after checking the time. He wasn't back yet again, she was restless. Putting on the light once again, she sat up and combed her hair in frustration. She had tried calling him only to find out he had left his phone on the night stand. She didn't know why she was expecting more after yesterday. Maybe because she wanted more of those moments with him, she wanted much more. She pulled the covers over her body once again as she laid down to sleep.She wondered where he had gone to and making her worried wasn't the best option. She didn't act too well when she was worried. He was moody when he came back for supper and asked for some time alone and then, this?She jerked up when she heard the door click followed by shattering of -'It couldn't be one of her favorite Italian expensive vase, please it shouldn't be.' she cried inwardly.-then a groan."Daniel," she called when she heard him stagger."I'm alright, I just lost my balance.""You're drunk again." she
Their gaze were locked for quite a while and he didn't make any move to look away. He liked what he was looking at very well. For a minute there his gaze flickered to her lips and he swallowed thickly. That drew her attention away from his eyes and she imitated him, staring at his lips, moving inches towards him.He told himself a thousand times that he should look away but he couldn't do it. No matter how hard he tried, he found himself leaning towards her.The door slammed shut and Daniel cursed silently. He made sure to see who it was before stepping away from his wife."Henry, a pleasure seeing you again." Daniel couldn't hide the smirk that found its way his face."Is everything alright?" Henry asked trying to hide his amusement. He had obviously seen the whole thing to have that smile on his face. Clarissa nodded finding her way around her table to have a sit."Why wouldn't it be?" Daniel replied with a little enthusiasm than Henry expected. Henry raised a brow before shrugging.
"Amen!""Keep it down dimwit!" Daniel urged but Austin failed to comply.Austin wiggled his brows at him. "So you kissed her?""No, She kissed me.""Same thing, now what? Are you guys a thing now?" Austin asked clearly bothered."That's the problem,""Must they always be a problem?" Austin rolled his eyes."Hey! I didn't do anything wrong, she just left." Daniel retorted."You must have given her a reason to, that lady is head over hills in love with you." Austin told him."And you know that because?" Daniel asked."I have these two things they call eyes and they are screaming; Hey there, my best friend could be in love with his wife if he's nervous after a kiss, how does that sound?"He was silent."I think you should give her a call." Austin suggested breaking the silence."And say the hell what? Hey, Rissa I'm crazy about you?" He blurted out before sighing."Are you going to do it or should I?" Austin asked."Don't you dare, I'll call her when I'm ready and talk to her. Don't call
She finally opened her eyes to her environment tiredly. Staring at the ceiling, then the curtains, her brains finally gave out where she was. She eventually sat up, in an attempt to get ready for the day but the hand hanging loose on her waist made her pause."Who would have thought you to be this caring?" She said to herself, fighting a smile. She replayed the events of yesterday. Starting from when he indirectly told her that he liked her.He liked her.She smiled. "Daniel," she called softly yet firm enough to wake him yet he didn't bulge. She brushed away the strands of hair that covered his lid. Liking the silkiness of it, she didn't resist the urge to comb his hair with her fingers.He liked her."I love you so much it hurts," she said mainly to herself but he whirred in response leaning further into her touch. She almost thought his eyes fluttered open but she thought it to be nothing.Carefully, she removed her hand from his hair and laid back down with her hands above his, me
He stared at her trying to read more meaning to her words. Then he asked, "How do you mean things change?""Well, one of the main reasons my mom refuses to leave Canada was because she is working in Aunt Brenna's company. When her husband died, my mom concluded that she needed help so we stayed behind." She said."When PK building went down that night, it threw everybody off balance. We had to cut expenses, I could no longer go for swimming lessons. Even after the issue was resolved, I had lost so much interest in it already.""The marriage proposal brought the two companies to actually merge and if the marriage did work, it would have be a good thing for us technically. Coupling with the fact that you and Clara were already in a relationship, they were very very positive it was going to work till she surprised us the next day." She said."Sometimes I wonder why she did that, I thought she was in love with you." Clarissa stated."I thought so too, until we couldn't find her. The only
The hard cover book stared at him as he contemplated writing on it. He needed someone to hear his thoughts, if not someone, something. He gently opened the book and flipped pages after pages that he had written when he was sober and other times when he wasn't, his words were crude and blunt.Dear diary,I realized something too late, and it is the fact that I don't want to move on. I want to continue to love her and her, me. Every happy moments should be with me Clarissa, and not someone else....__The door of the mall was opened for them to enter but she went in before him as he requested, smiling at the gentlemanly gesture. They had decided to go shopping for some items for the trip. His hand snaked around her waist again when he joined her in the building gripping it tightly as they walked into it further more.The figure lurking in the corner with his hoodie on, stared at them through the glass till they were no longer in sight with his grip tightened in a fist.She asked him to
Thia actually thought about it. She actually thought of giving up the one thing that she had wanted for years. That wasn't her at all. When she told Daniel that his Ex fiancée was in California, she didn't expect him to just fly over there immediately considering that he was adamant on admitting the truth.She actually thought that he was already cut up in his problems for her to interfere in them. Thia sighed and rolled to face the ceiling of her bedroom. She couldn't believe that she was actually letting go. She was one to always get what she wanted without backing out but now, she was making a very hard decision to walk away and start afresh, where there is no JK and where there is no Daniel.___Becky was doing the exact thing Daniel told her to do. Daniel had told her to take the day off and that was what she was doing. If her boss can be so kind enough to give her a day to herself, then she should make the best out of it. When she stared at the couple she accompanied, she almost
Becky woke up to a hard naked chest with the blanket covering half of her. She shut her eyes to the morning light once again, hating how she reacted to it.How much she hated mornings. She groaned and sat up before taking in her surrounding. The place sure smells rich and my God look at that massive television!She panicked. 'Where the heck was she?' She looked around only to catch the eyes of the man that owned the nice body she slept on. She quickly drew the blanket to her chest to cover up."Good morning to you too," She was so busy looking around when she woke up to discover that he had leaned against the head board with his hands behind his head."Where the hell am I?" She asked."Don't you remember... Last night....party?" He tried to make her remember and when he saw her grimace after seconds of thinking, he smirked."You were pretty wide last night not that i'm not complaining but-""Oh shut up Henry you're gonna to give me a headache!" And just about then, the pound came in h
"Did you know you were pregnant?"--An honest answer, he wanted an honest answer?Tears welled up in her eyes almost immediately as guilt welled up in her chest."Baby," He tried again but She released her hands from his hold all the while looking away. It was then he got the clue.She knew!"Tell me it's not-" he scoffed. "Why didn't you tell me? Was it not that important that you refuse to tell me?" When she did not answer, he cursed combing his hair in frustration before beginning to walk away."Daniel...Daniel please wait.... Please don't leave." He stopped. His legs ached to move back to her but he decided against it. She needed to know he was upset with her, very upset."It was important. I wouldn't dream of hiding such a thing from you but I didn't tell you because I didn't have the chance to after our fight. I just couldn't bring myself to tell you i just..I'm sorry." She added."Still, you should have told me. I love you Clarissa. We love each other, you shouldn't keep thing
All he worked hard for couldn't go down the drain.No, no, no!Not like this,There was commotion in his surrounding and all he could think of next was to mingle with the crowd.---"Stay where you are or I will shoot her!" He yelled and there was no movement. He gently pulled Clarissa away hoping to get to the door in time."Put the Gun down Nicholas, it's over." Darius said."No, it's not. It can't be over till I say so!" He yelled back."You shouldn't do this, put the gun down." Darius tried again but he shook his head furiously."You guys always ruin everything for me! Can't I get what I want for once. She and I are supposed to be gone by dawn but no, you always ruin everything, you ruined EVERYTHING!!" His voice echoed around the room that Clarissa had to flinch from it."Now who is it going to be? Her or.... her?" He pointed the gun to the face of the other woman without remorse.---He took the next option- the stairs. Running as fast as he could hoping to escape the police thi
"So you knew all along?" Clarissa asked."I knew that you liked him. What can I say? He's quite the lady's man but I didn't know that you were in love with him and I never knew that he secretly had feelings for you."Kara gave her a sad smile. Everything Clarissa thought she kept to herself was never a secret. Maybe she really did a bad job at hiding how she felt. Darius was right."I was so focused on getting your cousin married to my son for her reputation and for my son's happiness that I didn't look at what it would result to. When I found out that things were turning out bad, I tried to get your husband to divorce you."Clarissa frowned. "Why would you want to separate us?""That was what I thought myself. I was definitely meeting a dead end trying to separate two people that are madly in love with each other. But then, do you also know what I thought? I thought getting you two divorced will leave you out of everything. If Jack wanted a ransom, the best bait to use was you and wi
Clara froze on the spot as the voice echoed around the room. She just had to do one thing and she messed up. Now what was he going to think?Daniel frowned when he saw the owner of the Chestnut hair. So she was planning to steal from him after all. He knew she was up to no good when she returned from California."I said, what the fuck are you doing in my room?!""I...em... papers. I mean, I wanted to...I was looking for papers i-" she paused when his strides stopped in front of her.Daniel scanned the fairly displaced items in the room before looking at her with coldness."Get out," he said."Your mom, she's going to-""I said, get out!" She hurried away from him but stopped at the door when she saw Darius staring back at her in confusion."What is going on here?" Darius eyes darted from Clara to Daniel and back to Clara."She's trying to steal from me!" Daniel stated."That is not true! Why will I steal from you Daniel?" Clara blurted out."Then you didn't answer my question, why are
Darius had now confirmed his doubt. He sighed replaying her conversation the other day.(Flashback)Having his jacket on his shoulders, Darius walked out of his room. He was a minute late for his shift and so he hurried down the passage. He quickly took out his phone, sending a call to Gabriel to cover up for him. He frowned when he heard a disturbing shriek. Ending the call, he walked further into another corner of the passage, where the noise came from. It was his wife's parents room. He remembered Audora going out to get groceries along with a servant while the office was busy lately. That left Kara and him, then who could she be angry at?..."Jack, I didn't cause her death okay? How would I have known she worked there? Now for your benefits, don't call me ever again, do you hear me?....." Now you listen to me," Kara stated forcefully."Stop this madness immediately. My son isn't signing anything over to you." Then nothing, he tried to listen for muffled voice but the silence wa
"Did you get the papers signed?""Look, I need more time." Kara told him."Much to your dismay, there isn't any left. I need the papers signed and brought to me as agreed Kara." With that, he hung up.She sighed heavily. At first, he demanded a huge sum and now he wants something even bigger. Things weren't going as planned and she hated every bit of the moment. What was she going to do now? The greatest mistake she will make is to make her son to sign some papers when he was already devastated. At least, she couldn't let Jack know if she had the papers signed just yet. She had to make sure that he was willing to reach a compromise."Mom," the voice called out and she could froze.Oh, shit-She shouldn't have put the call on speak out.***Daniel combed his hair in frustration for the nth time. Holding tight in his hands the necklace that he would have given her if they hadn't fought.The necklace was beautiful, she was going to love it.He thought about her and how she was doing. He
"You think? Can you be more formal please?" Daniel was first to speak up. "If you know then quit beating around the bush.""I tried calling her yesterday way before I heard the news about her kidnapping.""Well, did she pick up?"Clara hesitated. "I mean she did pick up but it was like she didn't even know that she did," Clara looked at the worried family. "I think she dropped her phone or something because I heard a crash then the line went dead."The whole family almost gave out worried sighs. Daniel combed his hair in frustration for the nth time that day."But, I have a friend. He was our high school friend, he majored in information technology and he was able to help me out last night. Though it cost me alot." Clara told them."Well how much do you want then? A million?" Daniel frowned."If I wanted money first, I wouldn't have told you a lot before hand Daniel. She's my cousin Daniel and I would do anything for her." Clara said."I hope so Clara. I do hope so.""My friend was ab
Becky heaped the files on her table immediately after fetching them from her boss's office. Daniel was just on the phone with her a minute ago, telling her that he would work from home for the mean time. All she needed to do was to bring some important files he needed to attend to.Her phone rang and she picked it, excusing herself from her table and walking to Hailey's table to say something to her. Hailey nodded in understanding and Becky walked away. Ending the call, she picked up her bag, swinging it over her shoulder and then she carried the files."Oh Good morning ma'am," The woman with a particular silky raven black hair turned to the receptionist and nodded before walking further.The receptionist held back whatever she wanted to say. Surely there was no need to question her. After all, she was the wife of the CEO. The woman stopped walking when she saw a familiar face walk pass her to talk with the receptionist. Kara glanced at the files this lady placed besides her then back
Dear diary,Everything will be how I ever wanted it soon. Every bit of my fantasies, every thoughts I've had. Her lips will finally be against mine after a long time. There would be nothing that'll pull us apart again and that's because we belong together.---She dropped the flowers at the grave right after cleaning the face of it."I finally came to see you," She knelt besides it. "I'm sorry I couldn't come see you before." Clarissa sniffed."Now I understand what you said Mia, I have yet to be accustomed to this whole love thing. I never told you this before, but I'm sorry for allowing Bane give me the gift first, it should have been you. Maybe if that happened you wouldn't have hated me so much."Mia wasn't one to be negative. Although they were twins, they were the complete opposite. Everyone knew even if it was the most confusing love story, she would write it to the end like an Author that she was.So, she would contradict that Clarissa was infact a novice at love. She always e
