"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

"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

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.

    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!"

    His hand never left her waist as they walked into one of California's best restaurant that evening. It only seemed to grow tighter as people turned to stare at them. He knew that the stare of people made her quite uncomfortable and so, he made her know that she was not alone."Let me take you to your table sir," A waitress told him. It was like they awaited his arrival and immediately he made himself known, they came to him."Sure," Daniel said and they both followed the waitress down the hall.Daniel pulled out a chair for her to sit before coming to sit before her."Such a nice restaurant. How did you find this kind of place?" Clarissa found herself asking.He smiled. "It didn't take much from me because I actually own this place Clarissa." When she didn't reply he found himself looking at her.She scoffed. "Are you joking or what?""Why would you think that I was?" He asked."So you own this place?" She tried her best to keep her face neutral but that look of surprise didn't go unn

    The door slammed shut with a thud as he walked away from Clarissa. The door automatically slammed in her face but she opened it still and walked after him. She stopped to look around where he had gone and found him walking up the stairs to her room. Ignoring the curious stare of Daniel's assistant, she ran after him.Clarissa shut the door of the bedroom behind her leaving Becky to stare at them in curiosity. They had been so excited to go out and now he comes back angry. She shrugged excusing herself from the dinning before walking to her own bedroom to wallow in her own thoughts. A good thing the bedrooms were soundproofed so whatever they thought was to solution to their anger would be none of her business."What was that about?" Clarissa voice had been ignored once again making her frown. If it's one thing that got her paranoid easily, it would be to be ignored."Daniel?" She called trying to hide her own frustration. Why was he so affected that she had come back into their lives

    He watched from a distance as Clarissa tied her hair in a messy bun. She began her steps back into her office immediately and so he waited. When she was just at arm's length, he pulled her to himself swiftly turning to trap her against the wall hearing nothing more than a gasp."What are you doing? let go," She said almost in a whisper."What do you think I'm doing? I'm making you forgive me." He answered for her and she sighed. "Are you seriously going to continue ignoring me? Till when do you get to talk to me?""Daniel you need to stop this, we are not doing this now-" she was interrupted when he locked his lips with hers. Swift with his motion, his breath fanned her face."I can't let you stay mad at me. For God's sake I am losing my mind here let's forget what happened. I was stupid and I swear I won't do it again, forgive me.""Daniel-" He locked his lips with hers again and her breath hitched in her throat."I don't want to hear any other thing except to accept my apology.

    "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!

    "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.

    "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

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.
