"Thank you guys for your continuous support. Am sorry about yesterday, my back was aching like hell and I could not even get out of bed. I hope you are enjoying the story and for those leaving reviews, I appreciate so much. I also appreciate everyone taking their time to read my story. I wouldn't be here without you guys."
Chapter 69 At the airport, the moment Ella saw her best friend, she screamed out loud. Paul, Jane, his wife, and Samantha, their daughter, walked towards Ella in huge strides. Samantha could not wait as she thought that her parents were slow so, she sprinted towards Ella. She shouted in her cute voice, “Aunt Ella!” Ella looked at the girl with a huge smile plastered on her face, “My Cotton Candy, I can finally see you. Oh, my goodness, I missed you so much that I was almost turning into a doll.” “I missed you too, Aunt Ella. You have no idea how I begged my father until he agreed to make this trip.” “How have you been? Although it has been a few months, I feel like it has been ages.” “I am fine Aunt Ella. Now that I have seen you, my heart has finally found peace.” “Aww, your tongue has only gotten sweeter.” “Where are my brothers and sisters?” “Oh, they did not come. They actually don’t know that you guys are here. I wanted to surprise them. I am sure that they will be super
Chapter 70 The ride from the airport was awkward at first, but with the chatterbox Samantha, the awkward atmosphere was not so awkward in the end. When they reached the parking lot, everyone sighed in relief. Ella looked at her best friends and welcomed them to the house, “Welcome guys. This is also your home and you don’t have to stand in ceremony with me. You are free here and you can do whatever you want.” “Ella, you have a beautiful house, I love it.” “I learned from the best,” Ella said as she smiled at Jane. Jane was an interior designer and when she stayed with them, she learned a thing or two about designing. “Well, I know that you guys are tired. You can go take a shower, and get rid of the jetlag while Daniel and I are going to prepare dinner.” Jane yawned when she heard that, “Yeah, I am so tired that I could use a hot shower now. It has been a long while since I have been on such a long flight.” “Good, you can use the guestroom downstairs.” “Okay.” Ella dragged D
Chapter 71 "What is this?” Ella asked when Daniel handed her a parcel. “You will know once you open it.” “Why are you being so mysterious?” “I am not being mysterious. Why don’t you open it and see what is inside.” “Okay.” Ella opened the white envelope. She saw plane tickets and when she looked at the destination, her eyes widened in shock. She almost screamed as she jerked her head and looked at Daniel. “Are you for real?” she asked in a trembling voice. “I remembered that one particular detail from our past conversations.” “Oh, my goodness. This means a lot. I thought that you never listened to anything I said and it was just a one-man conversation.” “That is basically true, but you kept mentioning this over and over again until it stuck in my head.” “Danny, this means a lot to me and I don’t know what to say.” Daniel pulled her in his arms and hugged her tightly, “A lot has happened recently. I just want us to be away for a few days to blow some steam off, and have a go
Chapter 72 Two days went by in a flash and it was finally Ella’s long-awaited trip. The moment she told Jane that they were going to Costa Rica for a vacation, they have been going shopping, packing and unpacking for the last two days. “The long-awaited day is finally here.” Ella said as she zipped the last suit case. Jane laughed as she looked at her friend’s excited expression, “You can finally relax. You haven’t slept the past two days just thinking about this day.” “That place means a lot to me. I once dreamed of going there with my husband and children, just running around the beaches and seeing wild animals. Now that it is finally happening, I feel like I am in a dream or something.” “You deserve to be happy, Ella. And I am glad that you found that in the man you loved your whole life.” “Thank you, Jane. This trip will be even more meaningful since I have my best friends with me. We are going to have mad fun.” Only if Ella had known that Daniel would make her stay in bed f
Chapter 73 Ella could not hide her excitement when she saw the famous Costa Rica. She could not believe that she was at her dream destination, with her lovely kids, and the man who could make her heart race every time she looked at him. What's more, there were three more amazing people with her, making it have an all-different meaning. “So, this is where you have always wished to come?” Jane asked as she looked at Ella’s excited face. She had to admit that happiness looked good on her friend. “Yes. This was my honeymoon dream destination. Just look at everything, isn’t it beautiful?” “Well, I have to admit that you have good taste when it comes to enjoying yourself.” “Haha, yeah. Being rich is good.” As they continued moving, Ella realized that they were not headed to any hotels nearby. She had been studying this place for many years and she knew every inch of it. “Uhm, where are we going?” “I bought a beach villa. We don’t have to squeeze ourselves at the hotel with everyone.
Chapter 74 After dinner, the kids were already so tired that they immediately retired to bed. The couples however did not feel like turning in early. Daniel got a bottle of wine and they went to the garden to have time for themselves. Paul took the opportunity to share his thoughts with Daniel and Ella. Although relocating was totally up to him and his wife to decide, having his best friend’s opinion mattered. That was because he had to consider her feelings. What if she did not want them around? They could not force their way in and destroy the many years of friendship. Daniel was cuddling Ella as she looked at the stars. She had a glass of red wine in her hands that she was slowly sipping. She could still hear the waves hitting, and it gave her a soothing and peaceful feeling. Paul shared a glance with his wife, who was also in his arms, and looked at Daniel and Ella. He coughed lightly to get their attention before he stated, “Ella, Daniel, we have something we need to discus
Chapter 75 Ella was in the dark having no idea what was about to unfold. But that could not stop her body from feeling excited. Happy goosebumps were all over her body and her mind tried to imagine everything that Daniel was about to do to her. Daniel had tied Ella’s limbs on every edge of the bed. Her body was sprawled at the center of the huge bed, and looking at her well-proportioned figure, Daniel was tempted to stop everything and just get straight to business, but he changed his mind. He had brought Ella to this place to make memories, and he was not about to let any opportunity slip by. He climbed on the bed with a rose in his hand and sniffed it on Ella’s nose. The smell of the sweet-scented rose was like an aphrodisiac as it made Ella turn on even more. She called out in a sexy voice, “Danny.” Daniel placed a finger on her lips, “Shh. Don’t say anything.” He took a feather-like object that was on the bed and started tickling Ella’s skin with it. Ella’s body spasmed f
Chapter 76 Three days went by in a flash, and before they knew it, Ella, Jane, and their kids only had two days left before their short trip came to an end. Ella woke up feeling refreshed. She felt energized and the fact that Daniel had not folded her into half again for the past two days, made her mood improve. The other night was mad and ever since then, Daniel had not touched her. When she asked him why, he said that he did not want to lose control again and make her stay in bed for a whole day. After stretching out, she turned on the other side of the bed only to find it empty. The space was already cold which meant that Daniel had been up for a while now. Ella got out of bed and went straight to the bathroom. She did a quick wash-up because she had planned to go to a spa with Jane. She returned to the bedroom, and when she went to take her phone from the bedside table, she found a card lying next to it. It was addressed to her and seeing Daniel’s powerful strokes, Ella was
