"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.
View MoreDaniela's POVA 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 loser
Daniela’s POV "W-what are you going to tell everyone?" I asked him. "That's my business, not yours," he replied coldly. How am I supposed to endure marriage with this monster, my nightmare? "I'll tell Dan to get your stuff into the car. Let's go." I nodded and followed him out. When we were out of his office, I saw Katherine sitting at the table. I knew he had picked her, but I didn’t think she’d start immediately. Then again, what did I know about Alexander? She looked up at me and smiled. I smiled back. I knew she was confused but I couldn't say anything, especially with Alexander right by my side. He motioned for Mark, who was standing in front of the elevator, to come to him. "I'm leaving for a while. Inform Jason about this and tell him to call me if anything comes up," he ordered when Mark came closer. "Yes boss. Should I inform your driver?" Mark asked. "No, I can take care of this myself. And help Ms Green here," he started, referring to Katherine. "With whatev
Daniela's POV I tried to compose myself, but I was shaking like crazy. Memories of all the nightmares I had had were just flashing into my head. It couldn't be him. No, it couldn't be. Maybe I was just hallucinating. But I wasn't. What if he didn't recognise me, then maybe I'll just tell him that I lost my way and then run out, but then his eyes met mine, and they looked like they wanted to read something from my face. Then they went down to my scar...and then he smiled. "Well, who do we have here?" he spat out, leaning back in his swivel chair. It was the same voice. Deeper, obviously, but I still recognised it. "It's really you, it can't be," I whispered. My heart was beating faster than normal and the fear that I had hidden well for some time revealed itself just like the first time I saw him. I'm sure it's the same fear that made me recognise him after all those years. I could hardly breathe and like always, he was enjoying my discomfort. "Yeah, it's really me, dar
Daniela's POV The scar on my left arm. That's the first thing I saw when I woke up. Some bloody reminder. All because of you, daddy. But he was dead now. Both him and my mom. They were killed by some other gang men ten years ago. I didn't know why. Back then, everything happened so fast that mom couldn't explain anything to me. I was able to escape and that was the last time I saw her alive. My aunt made us move when she heard about what happened to my parents. Ever since, she's been a second mother to me. A very good one. I looked back at my scar. I didn't dream about him today. In fact, I've dreamt less and less of that stranger as the years passed. Soon I'd forget him, maybe not, because of the permanent mark on my arm. My aunt still didn't know what happened to me all those years ago, and I didn't intend on letting her know. The more I kept it to myself, the less I thought about it. Now, I was done with university, and my only objective at the moment was getting
