Overflowing with strange feelings and questions about why he didn’t want me to return him- or whose blood was it?- What was he doing behind my back? Was everything alright?There were limitless things I wanted to ask but amid this I was relieved that he was no longer enraged and would take me home at least.Forming my lips in a thin line, I got out where I saw Sarah waiting for me with a frown on her lips with Ian. “Happy now?” She mocked. I chuckled nervously, “He said he will pick me up on Sunday.”“Good for you, now, come.” She sighed. I smiled apologetically at Ian and left with Sarah.“So what did you guys talk about?” She asked curiously, noticing how people were looking at me to wonder what Mrs. Cannedy was here.“Hmm- What the-” Sighing, I opened my mouth to tell her briefly but the second we got out of his corporation, a crowd of reporters began to surround me.“Mrs. Cannedy! Mrs. Cannedy! Is it true that you are having an affair with your husband’s cousin?” They asked, f
DARIEL’S POV:-My mind was blank when I was returning, I didn’t know how to express felicity after being wrapped with an endless loop of troubles.Sighing, I leaned back against my seat, remembering how I barely managed everything in Saafia’s absence.Deep down, I knew she wouldn’t do this to me but I was infuriated at ‘how it happened’. What did Helder do to make MY woman come to him?The last week of her absence was hectic for me. I first started by releasing Jared from the prison first because he had helped me a lot.“You helped me, I got your bail. Don’t worry it will be a matter of time when the charges will be removed.” I told Jared who was astounded by my unforeseen actions.If he hadn’t freed me on time, I wouldn’t have seen them together. I knew I needed him, plus he also told me about Jacey too. “Thanks… But I think I deserve more punishment.” He chuckled dryly. He had fallen into complete depression. The regret of cheating on Saafia, Veronica leaving him, all of that had
“My Saafia, who cannot look at another man with the same devotion, was with you. ‘In your shirt’ after ‘passing out’,”I hissed after hitting Helder whose face was bruised with a trail of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.Yet, he remained shameless, leaning his head back, Helder laughed evilly.“Dariel, let me go, you are making a wrong choice. You will regret it," He dared to threaten me mindlessly.“Helder, my brother, tell me, since when did an unconscious person start changing her clothes herself? Do you think I wouldn’t know that you set that up?” I scoffed, rolling my eyes at his audacity to challenge me.“If you know then why are you torturing your beloved Saafia like this?” He smirked.“Because I want to know what you intend to do?”“Destroy you, dearest brother,” He snickered wickedly, evoking pure disgust from the bottom of my heart. I shouldn’t have forgiven him in the first place.“Why? I believe I have cut all my connections with you and your family then let us
Hissing, I was glaring at Helder whose laugh echoed in the secluded place, having no effect of the beating he received. He had become unbothered by pain, he didn’t care.“Hitting me won’t satisfy you…”“Motherfucker! Why did you lay your hands on my respect!? If you had troubles with us then you should have come to me!” I yelled, completely furious when he made Saafia sleep with him and moreover chained Jacey until it threw her in depression.He was hell bent on ruining my life.And for what? For crimes I never committed?“Ah, did it hurt you to find your sister in pain?” He chuckled, testing my patience with his playfulness. He didn’t tremble before ordering his damn assistant to agonize my sister this terribly.Lowering his head more, he gritted his teeth.“Think how I must have felt when she had hurt me and called me a mistake over and over again!” “Because you were,” I scowled, done with his resentment which caused Jacey to suffer so badly.“Do whatever you want. Nothing can sa
SAAFIA’S POV:-“Mister Dariel Cannedy had declined the accusation openly that none of it was real, neither news nor those pictures and this incident is now regarded as a fake attempt by his rival to degrade him.”The TV was on where the news was being played. I held a scowl on my features, sitting on the couch with my legs crossed and a never ending grimace on my face.“Tsk,”How I thought I would surprise Dariel but everything went towards a terrible path and I saw no single hint of delight on his face. “We can see how low humanity has fallen that they no longer care about people’s sentiments and can become vile only to hurt others. Also to be careful, technology has gone too far.”They continued, clutching my dress, my excitement was also murdered, placed by a constant sting in my chest. “I can’t believe Helder would go this low to humiliate me publicly and for what? Why is he doing all this?” I growled.Displeased with how my perfect life was turned upside down. “On knowing fur
Dariel and I returned home finally. After weeks of waiting for this moment, I was home with my beloved, right beside him. Looking up at him in endearment, I was sitting on the bed. He was standing before me. I was holding his large in mine, gripping it firmly to encase it in my palm for eternity to never lose that warmth again.“You are not angry with me anymore, right?” I asked innocently, looking up at him worriedly.I couldn’t bear his negligence or rage further, it blanked my mind to the point I failed to process my thinking. He had turned me blind in love.“Whatever happened was not your fault. I was honestly stressed with everything happening. I didn’t want you to be disturbed because of me too,” He sighed, giving my hand an assuring squeeze before sitting next to me.I asked softly, “Is that why you sent me away?”He must have needed time and space after what he saw to register his situation before reacting. “Yeah, I have been dealing with all this. My head is throbbing so b
THIRD POV“How could you do this to me, Tilda? You married my brother? Why?” Harry argued.The ache of finding Tilda as his sister-in-law was immense, he resented how she neglected their bond yet agreed to marry his brother.“He was my Boss… we fell in love and it just happened. Look, I-I didn’t know he was your brother. By the time I came to know. It was too late.” She reasoned sorrowfully.She also didn’t intend to marry the brother of her ex but it was too late by the time she realized that. “What do you expect me to do now? What am I supposed to tell everyone now about Helder?” He growled, stuck in a terrible situation.“You never… said anything about me?” Tilda asked in disbelief. “I didn’t want them to curse you for leaving me with a son.” He sighed, shaking his head in denial.No one in his family knew who was the mother of Helder, they only knew that she abandoned them and left them. “I.. am sorry, Harry,” She apologized sadly, looking down in shame.“Are you happy with my
“NO!!”Mr. Cannedy died and at his demise his whole family was devastated. His accident left a scar on Tilda’s heart, it weakened the happy family they were. “How could this happen? You promised to return soon, why are you doing this to us, my love… Wake up, please!”She sobbed, clutching his lifeless body, resting her head over it, not letting anyone take it away.She considered her life with Lark her blessing, her beautiful future.His demise scattered her felicity. “Mama,”The kids sobbed, afraid to go near her Mother who was screaming her anguish out. She entirely devoted herself to her husband, she couldn’t bear it.“Lark…!”The kids were worried for their mother who stopped eating, talking, finding no meaning to her life anymore when Lark was no longer with her.And seeing her weakened state, Harry decided to utilize this chance and advanced on her. “Don’t worry, Tilda, I am here for you. It’s going to be alright,” He whispered, placing his hand on her shoulder when she was c
