"What's your name?" he asked. "Daniela. Daniela Stevens," she responded. "Look at me Stevens... now that I've met you, I promise I'll work even harder to make you unhappy, just as you made me. Maybe... you'll not feel the pain I felt, but I promise I will never allow you to be happy." "Why?" she whispered. "... because I can't let you be happy while I suffer everyday because of the memory of my parents being killed in front of me." "So what are you going to do to me?" "You're going to marry me." * * * * * * * * * Daniela Stevens could have been any normal woman, but the sins of her father and the endless nightmares, changed her life more than she could ever imagine. And that scar she carried everyday, was the permanent reminder of the pain she had caused a certain stranger, and the fact that she didn't deserve to find happiness. As long as she lived. This stranger, who is her nightmare, is Alexander Jackson. He has not been able to let go of the pain of being orphaned, therefore he feels the urge to take revenge, even if it meant making an innocent person suffer. His life and hers get tangled together, and they have to make a decision, whether to keep suffering, or to let go of the past. But letting go deals with change and trust, and that is their only obstacle.

Prologue

“Go to bed and don’t let me repeat myself,” my father ordered finally. “I think you’ve punished her enough, Gabriel,” my mother joined softly and turned to me. “You learned your lesson right, mija?” I nodded eagerly at her, and then lowered my eyes when I turned back to my father. I had been punished to go to my room at six pm every night ever since he caught me eavesdropping on a very sensitive conversation he had been having with my mother. I hadn’t heard much, but what I remembered still didn’t make sense to me, or perhaps I just didn’t want to believe it, but since my father was still angry after two whole weeks, it was probably true. “I said a month and nothing’s changing my mind. Being lenient with her is what makes her do stupid things like this,” he threw at my mother. “I’ve made myself clear Daniela. Go.” Like I always did with him, I silently obeyed. This was yet another day where I was reminded of how much a nuisance I was to my dad. Mama had said that wasn’t true, the t...

Chapter One
Daniela's POV A lunch date with my boyfriend, and my best friend. One of us was third wheeling, you would think. That wasn’t the case, or that wasn’t what it had looked like for the many times we’d had such hang outs. I was just a girl having fun with the two loves of my life. Regardless, if anyone was third wheeling, it should be Justin or Charlene, depending on which relationship you’re considering. But right now, as my hands shook beneath the table, my breaths calculated and my overthinking mind wandered, I felt like the odd one out. There was a palpable awkwardness between my boyfriend and my best friend. That was certain. They were indeed trying hard not to make it obvious, I’ll give them that, but it succeeded in the opposite. I could ignore this and go through the rest of the date like I hadn’t sensed anything. I had always done this, and it managed to keep things stable. Only, being silent this time meant I was willingly letting myself drown further in stupidity. Even a lose

Chapter Two
Daniela's POVI fidgeted in my seat as person after person got called to the panel. It was the day of the interview. I was on time, I was prepared. In short, everything was in order, but I couldn’t stop panicking.First because, I felt out of place. All the people with me in the interviewee’s waiting area seemed more put together than I was. Anyone with good eyes would choose any other person in the room over me, by just looking. Yes, I was insecure about this and many other things, but this wasn’t even the main issue.Second, this was Jackson Industries, JI, a big-time chain of fashion companies that dealt in clothes, jewellery and scents. I was applying for a secretarial position but this was still an environment that was more out of my league than anything. I didn’t even think I would be picked to be a cleaner here. Still, this wasn’t what was bothering me.Later that day, after crying on my aunt’s shoulder, I had locked myself in my room and gone over the email, mainly to push Just

Chapter Three
Daniela's POVMy mind was totally blank in the moment we stared at each other. Other than the shock that had clearly paralysed me, there was nothing else in my head. Not even a way to get out of this. After a while, I gained control of my body once again, only to begin shaking like a leaf, and I knew immediately, it was the onset of a panic attack.I had imagined this day so many times, and I had different scenarios each time. In one of them, I would walk up to him, spit in his face and show him that I had indeed moved on from the nightmare he turned my life into- a big lie, but that’s not the focus right now. In another, I’d just hold his gaze and walk right past him with my head held up high. There were more of me just being the main character of the moment, but funny enough, today was none of those.Tears threatened to form in my eyes as it dawned on me that I hadn’t moved on from anything. From his assault, from my mother’s death, from my childhood. There was nothing better about t

Chapter Four
I felt the blood drain out of my face. I turned to him fully. “How do you know my name?”“I should, technically, since you’re applying for a position that serves me. But that’s not how. You don’t mean to tell me that I’m the only one who remembers our history?”I glared at him, blinking when I my eyes started getting heavy.“After feeling so helpless the night my life changed forever, I made it a point to work hard, so I’d never be so defenceless again, so of course I’d know everything about you, about your family, your friends, where you live. Therefore, tell me, that you’re aware every decision in your life has led you to this point, that you remember our foundation, especially… with this reminder.”His eyes lowered and I followed his gaze to my arm. I slapped his hand away from my face. Losing control, the tears started slipping. “You destroyed my peace and my entire life! Isn’t that enough for you?”“I didn’t force you here. This is the only surprise, seeing you today. Don’t you t

Chapter Five
Daniela’s POVThe moment I got home, I rushed upstairs for my laptop and immediately looked up flights that were leaving this evening. It didn’t matter where- the next town or the next country. Whatever my savings could afford for my aunt and I was alright for now. We just needed to get away right this moment, and think about the rest when we were safer.I wasn’t thinking clearly, sure. But today had been equally unhinged. How could my life change so drastically in just one day. One person shouldn’t have the power to do this. It was unfair. And scary. He knew everything about my life, so he could really do all that he had threatened to, but I still couldn’t just sit there and let him. I had to at least try.And if it didn’t work…?No, he couldn’t possibly be serious. Marry him? How could he even come up with that in a matter of minutes, and act as if it was completely normal. I thought about how he
