"I've had thousands of dreams of you torturing me in my sleep, so if you think your rejection will ever change how I feel about you or discourage me from my quest of winning your heart back, then the only thing that will save you is my death." He leaned closer. "I will never give up on you. Not until I make you my wife again." I scoffed. "I would rather die from thirst than get back to you for a glass of water," I gritted my teeth. He leaned down to my ear, causing goosebumps on my skin and a shiver down my spine. "You will always be mine, Darla. It's only a matter of time before you realize that." *** Darla's arranged marriage to Elijah Houston was meant to stay in the past, along with her feelings for him. But when Darla comes back to Atlanta as his business partner, Elijah's determination to get her back turns both their worlds upside down. When Darla and Elijah realize that people get hurt just so that they can be together, they are forced to make a difficult choice to protect the people they love despite what they want. Will the two lovers find a way back to each other and live happily ever after, or will the world defeat them and put an end to their love story and what could have been?

Chapter 0001

•DARLA•“Don't worry, my love. I will get divorced from Darla. Just promise me that you will never leave me again.” I woke up from the bed with my pillow wet from my sweat. I sat up and gasped for air, and my heart raced against my chest.I was shocked at how real the dream seemed, and when I looked beside me on the bed and saw it empty, I felt my stomach sinking. When I had cooled down, I laid down on the bed and closed my eyes as the events of yesterday replayed again in my memory. Yesterday was my second anniversary with Elijah and also my birthday, of which he forgot and never bothered to celebrate either of the events with me. “Hey, Sadie. Is Elijah in his office today?” I asked when I called his secretary to find out from her if he had planned anything for the day. “Yes, ma'am. But he's attending back-to-back meetings. I'll tell him that you called when he comes back from the board meeting at 3 PM.” “No, it's okay, Sadie. You don't have to do that. Are you sure that he ha

Chapter 0002

•DARLA•I stood up from the couch when I saw how angry he was."Honey, what are you talking about?" I asked as I tried to get him to calm down because he was scaring me. I had never seen Elijah angry with me before, and it caused a knot in my stomach. "You know damn well what I'm talking about, and don't you honey me," he retaliated as he pointed his finger at me. His sister and mother stood up from the couch as well and stood behind me.I thought that they would have my back, but they just stood there and said nothing. "I didn't do anything to anyone, Elijah. If you're going to accuse me of anything without facts, then I suggest that you ask me nicely without shouting at me as if I'm a child." I shot back. "You think that I don't see through you?" He snarled as he leaned closer to me. "You're a jealous bitch, and if you think that attacking and hurting Abigail will ever make me see you any differently, you got to think again." "I am your wife, Elijah, in case you've forgotten!"

Chapter 0003

•DARLA•After a little while, things seemed to be going very well for Elijah and me.I was happy and praying that things remained the way they were. I found myself enjoying the little gestures he did to make up for what was wrong. We were spending time together and laughing together a little bit more than before. I found myself falling in love with him all over again. He was my dream guy, and I couldn't imagine a love greater than what I felt for him. Even though he had never expressed his love for me, I decided to be patient with him and wait for the day he would realize that he was in love with me. As for the baby part, I didn't allow it to ruin my mood every time his mother asked if I had my period or not.I decided to occupy my day with the study material that I received from Business College before my parents abruptly discouraged me from studying further for my business degree and told me that I had to marry Elijah and be a housewife.Although Elijah had no idea about my desi

Chapter 0004

•DARLA•"You're 6 weeks pregnant... Congratulations, you're 6 weeks pregnant..." The words kept replaying over and over in my mind as the doctor signed my discharge papers, and Amelia came to pick me up. I kept asking myself how I even got pregnant when I was on birth control, and Elijah was even making sure that we didn't have a child together yet. I wasn't sure if I had any slip-ups, especially now that Elijah wasn't hiding his unfaithfulness to me and was publicly displaying his affection for Abigail. I wasn't even sure that he would want me to keep the baby if I told him the news. He made it clear several times to me that he didn't want us to have a child. "I'm so sorry about yesterday, I didn't want to tell you on the phone about what I saw and heard." Amelia apologized as she pulled up outside the house. I looked at her and smiled. She was my best friend for 20 years now and I was happy that she always got my back. She and I had come a long way, and I trusted her more tha

Chapter 0005

•ELIJAH•"Hey," a voice greeted me at the door of my office, and when I lifted my eyes and saw Abigail, I straightened up with a smile on my face. "Hey," I smiled at her as she closed the door behind her and walked toward my desk. "We need to talk," she breathed as she sat down on the chair opposite mine. I tensed up at that because I knew that it wasn't something good. In my mind, I assumed that it had something to do with my wife. That bitch couldn't behave. I hoped that for her sake, Darla wasn't causing any trouble with Abigail and disturbing her peace. "What is it? Is everything okay?" I asked. "Yeah, but... There's something I have to tell you." She took out something from her handbag and placed it on the table contour in front of me. When I saw the positive pregnancy test, my heart raced, and I felt like I was sweating. 'Wait -' In my mind, I wasn't even sure that I nutted inside her, which explained the throbbing headache the following morning in our hotel room two m

Chapter 0006

•DARLA•One way or another, my life had to go on, and that meant that I had to let go of my breakup with Elijah. "Your husband called and told us about the divorce. Is it true?" My mother asked on the phone the following morning. I hesitated to answer because I knew how much she and my father wanted my marriage with Elijah to work. "Yes, Mom. Elijah filed for divorce, and we would be officially divorced very soon after his attorney finalizes it in court." "You can't get divorced from the Houston boy, Darla. Like the good girl that you are, I want you to go back to him and make things right. Apologize for whatever it is that you did to him and make sure that the divorce doesn't happen. Do you understand me?" I groaned as I got up from the couch in my hotel suite. "He divorced me, Mother, because he's having a baby with someone else. I can't possibly go back there and ask him to take me back after what he did!" "You can't go back just because he's having a child with someone else?

•DARLA•"Are you sure that you can do this?" "Yes, Ethan, and before I change my mind, I need you to run me over the whole thing again. I need all the details, including the business that you'll be doing with the Iraq men." "Of course, we can set up another lunch date, and I'll tell you everything that you need to know. And about leaving Atlanta," he paused for a moment. "I was going to suggest that we relocate to California. That's where I'll be working most of the time." I honestly didn't care about where we relocated to, as long as I was going to be very far away from Elijah. I was looking forward to finally living my life without being told what to do and when to do it."That sounds great to me. As long as we will be out of Atlanta," I said as I packed the pregnancy report inside my traveling bag. "I'm sorry about earlier, I should've -" "It's okay, Ethan," I sighed as I sat down on the edge of the bed. "I'm over that now. Once you and I leave this place, we won't talk about

•ELIJAH•"You're going to pay one hundred and fifty million dollars in alimony? Are you insane?" Shane asked, shocked as we were drawing up the alimony arrangement."She's been with me for two years. She deserves even more than that," I replied as I closed my work laptop and turned my attention to him. "I can't believe that you're willing to pay this much money to a woman that comes from a wealthy family as well, and you weren't in love with." "Okay," I rolled my eyes with a sigh. "I shouldn't tell you so much about my personal life if you're going to use it against me when you have to be my lawyer." "That's my job. To help you make rational and wise decisions when it comes to your personal life and money. I have to be your voice or reason." "That's the job for my PA and financial advisor. You just draw up documents to protect me legally. Nothing more," I emphasized. "Fine." He groaned as he wrote down the amount on the paper and looked at me. "So, are you going to marry this new

•DARLA•"You're leaving Atlanta? Are you serious?" Amelia gasped in shock and irritation. "You can't tell me that Elijah got under your skin, and now you're on the run!" "I'm not running, Amee." I rolled my eyes. "It seems so to me," she sighed. "If you leave town, he's going to know that you left because of your divorce. Besides that, Atlanta is all that you know, Dee." "I know, but I have to go. I made this deal with Ethan, and my terms were that we leave town. Elijah doesn't know about the baby, and I want to keep it that way." "You keep surprising me, honestly." She sipped her cocktail and groaned. "How does he not know about the pregnancy?" "Because I don't want him to know. It's mine. He's going to have his own family with Abigail, and I don't want it any other way." "So, you're leaving town and keeping his baby from him? Please tell me that this is not going to be the biggest mistake that you've ever made?" "I know what I'm doing, Amee. I have to do what's best for me an

Chapter 0010

•DARLA•The next morning, when I left Atlanta with Ethan, it finally hit me for the first time that Elijah would never belong to me.When the flight took off from the ground, my heart broke once again, and I couldn't believe that he had chosen someone else over me.Just a few days after we broke up and filed for divorce, the pain felt new like the night he brought me those divorce papers and told me that Abigail was pregnant with his child.I couldn't imagine any greater pain like that. Reality slapped me in the face when the last memory of him was with Abigail.I knew when I left that I would never be able to love another soul as much as I loved Elijah, even though he made it known to the world that there was no other woman in his heart, but Abigail. "Hey, are you okay?" Ethan asked, snapping me back to earth from the heartbreaking flashback."Yeah, of course." I smiled at him. "I'm looking forward to a new beginning in San Francisco.""We'll be there in an hour."I nodded at him wi
