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. I'll
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
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
"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
"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
She sat at the edge of the bed. It was the second day after their wedding and still, he hadn't had a proper conversation with her. Not because she was a stranger or anything but because, he couldn't shake off the feeling just yet that he couldn't be in wedlock with the one he ought to. Everything was still a blur to him. "Why aren't you coming to bed?" He asked after a while of hesitation. He probably knew what she was going through and it was going to take her a while to let it all sink in. Imagine being surprised with a life partner, not just any but the one that should be calling out vows to your cousin instead. She sighed and turned to him and he only hoped that she could see he was really concerned about her. But when she looked at him, instead she saw relaxation and calmness. Quite the irony of herself at the moment and she only frowned the more. How was it possible, she thought, that he was so calm about everything? He should be angry, frustrated and livid that he didn't get
