Coupled with her husband not having time for her, she thought she could do what she formally loved doing, swimming.
She opened the direct door that led downstairs to the pool. The pool was just besides their room with only a stair connecting them. They seem to be at advantage because they were closest to the pool and so, they get to spend more time in it than the rest of the family.
She dipped herself carefully into the pool and the only sound she heard were the ripples of the water and her moan of relaxation.

"Hey handsome," A manicured hand was placed on his shoulders feeling his muscles before the figure came to sit before him.

Once upon a Time Chapter fifteen:
***(Flash back)Her black long hair cascading down her back was to her liking. She smelled rich and her radiant beauty was pronounced for her aged, similar to Daniel's if possible. The man who sat opposite her puffed out smoke in reply as she gave out her plan."Burn it down, make sure it is to the ground." She told him "I want to make her realise the consequences of what she's doing, She'll regret all she has ever done against my son!" "No problem, I will do as I've been told, never to disappoint."

***She tucked herself in bed right after checking the time. He wasn't back yet again, she was restless. Putting on the light once again, she sat up and combed her hair in frustration. She had tried calling him only to find out he had left his phone on the night stand. She didn't know why she was expecting more after yesterday. Maybe because she wanted more of those moments with him, she wanted much more. She pulled the covers over her body once again as she laid down to sleep.She wondered where he had gone to and making her worried wasn't the best option. She didn't act too well when she was worried. He was moody when he came back for supper and asked for some time alone and then, this?She jerked up when she heard the door click followed by shattering of -'It couldn't be one of her favorite Italian expensive vase, please it shouldn't be.' she cried inwardly

***Their gaze were locked for quite a while and he didn't make any move to look away. He liked what he was looking at very well. For a minute there his gaze flickered to her lips and he swallowed thickly. That drew her attention away from his eyes and she imitated him, staring at his lips, moving inches towards him.He told himself a thousand times that he should look away but he couldn't do it. No matter how hard he tried, he found himself leaning towards her.The door slammed shut and Daniel cursed silently. He made sure to see who it was before stepping away from his wife."Henry, a pleasure seeing you again." Daniel couldn't hide the smirk that found its way his face."Is everything alright?" Henry asked trying to hide his amusement. He had obviously seen the whole thing to have that smile on his face. Clarissa nodded finding her way around her table to ha

Austin asked clearly bothered."That's the problem,""Must they always be a problem?" Austin rolled his eyes."Hey! I didn't do anything wrong, she just left." Daniel retorted."You must have given her a reason to, that lady is head over hills in love with you." Austin told him."And you know that because?" Daniel asked."I have these two things they call eyes and they are screaming; Hey there, my best friend could be in love with his wife if he's nervous after a kiss, how does that sound?"He was silent.

***College relationship was not always what he wished for. He had wished to fall in love with a movie model or something but when he met the chestnut headed beauty, he changed his mind.

How was he going to tell the woman he liked that there was someone else he was going to marry? It couldn't be possible. He went on the blind date with readiness to turn down the offer.

***She finally opened her eyes to her environment tiredly. Staring at the ceiling, then the curtains, her brains finally gave out where she was. She eventually sat up, in an attempt to get ready for the day but the hand hanging loose on her waist made her pause. "Who would have thought you to be this caring?" She said to herself, fighting a smile. She replayed the events of yesterday. Starting from when he indirectly told her that he liked her. He liked her. She smiled. "Daniel," she called softly yet firm enough to wake him yet he didn't bulge. She brushed away the strands of hair that covered his lid. Liking the silkiness of it, she didn't resist the urge to comb his hair with her fingers. He liked her. "I love you so much it hurts," she said mainly to herself but he whirred in response leaning further into her touch. She

*** He stared at her trying to read more meaning to her words. Then he asked, "How do you mean things change?" "Well, one of the main reasons my mom refuses to leave Canada was because she is working in Aunt Brenna's company. When her husband died, my mom concluded that she needed help so we stayed behind." She said. "When PK building went down that night, it threw everybody off balance. We had to cut expenses, I could no longer go for swimming lessons. Even after the issue was resolved, I had lost so much interest in it already." "The marriage proposal brought the two companies to actually merge and if the marriage did work, it would have be a good thing for us technically. Coupling with the fact that you and Clara were already in a relationship, they were very very positive it was going to work till she surprised us the next day." She said. "So

***The hard cover book stared at him as he contemplated writing on it. He needed someone to hear his thoughts, if not someone, something. He gently opened the book and flipped pages after pages that he had written when he was sober and other times when he wasn't, his words were crude and blunt.Dear diary,I realized something too late, and it is the fact that I don't want to move on. I want to continue to love her and her, me. Every happy moments should be with me Clarissa, and not someone else....__The door of the mall was opened for them to enter but she went in before him as he requested, smiling at the gentlemanly gesture. They had decided to go shopping for some items for the trip. His hand snaked around her waist again when he joined her in the building gripping it tightly as they walked into it

***"Did you know you were pregnant?"--An honest answer, he wanted an honest answer?Tears welled up in her eyes almost immediately as guilt welled up in her chest."Baby," He tried again but She released her hands from his hold all the while looking away. It was then he got the clue.She knew!"Tell me it's not-" he scoffed. "Why didn't you tell me? Was it not that important that you refuse to tell me?" When she did not answer, he cursed combing his hair in frustration before beginning to walk away."Daniel...Daniel please wait.... Please don't leave." He stopped.

It can't be over till I say so!" He yelled back."You shouldn't do this, put the gun down." Darius tried again but he shook his head furiously."You guys always ruin everything for me!

***"So you knew all along?" Clarissa asked."I knew that you liked him. What can I say? He's quite the lady's man but I didn't know that you were in love with him and I never knew that he secretly had feelings for you."Kara gave her a sad smile. Everything Clarissa thought she kept to herself was never a secret. Maybe she really did a bad job at hiding how she felt. Darius was right."I was so focused on getting your cousin married to my son for her reputation and for my son's happiness that I didn't look at what it would result to. When I found out that things were turning out bad, I tried to get your husband to divorce you."Clarissa frowned. "Why would you want to separate us?""That was what I thought myself. I was definitely meeting a dead end trying to separate two people that are madly in love with each other. But then, do you also

Gabriel nodded for him to go on and so, he continued."I was on my way back from the cemetery. I never visited my son and that is because he wasn't dead. I visited my wife instead. I told my son not to walk too fast, he was the one that really witnessed what went on that day. Before I could get to my son, one of them was already taking her inside their own car.""One of them? You said it was only one person that was involved in the kidnapping." Gabriel said to him."I said it because that was what he wanted me to say. The other one threatened the life of my son with a neck to his neck. He was the one that told me to lie so I can save the life of my son.""It could be possible that he was frightened by

***Clara froze on the spot as the voice echoed around the room. She just had to do one thing and she messed up. Now what was he going to think?Daniel frowned when he saw the owner of the Chestnut hair. So she was planning to steal from him after all. He knew she was up to no good when she returned from California."I said, what the fuck are you doing in my room?!""I...em... papers. I mean, I wanted to...I was looking for papers i-" she paused when his strides stopped in front of her.Daniel scanned the fairly displaced items in the room before looking at her with coldness."Get out," he said."Your mom, she's going to-""I said, get out!"

Immediately it was picked, he spoke."Hello, it's Tony.""Did you do what I asked you to do?" The hoarse voice asked."Yes, I did. Now can...can I please have my son back?" Tony asked."Perfect. I hope no one found out about it?""No, they didn't find out. Please can I have him now?"The laughter he heard over the phone gave him the chill.

***Darius had now confirmed his doubt. He sighed replaying her conversation the other day.(Flashback)Having his jacket on his shoulders, Darius walked out of his room. He was a minute late for his shift and so he hurried down the passage. He quickly took out his phone, sending a call to Gabriel to cover up for him. He frowned when he heard a disturbing shriek. Ending the call, he walked further into another corner of the passage, where the noise came from. It was his wife's parents room. He remembered Audora going out to get groceries along with a servant while the office was busy lately. That left Kara and him, then who could she be angry at?..."Jack, I didn't cause her death okay? How would I have known she worked there? Now for your benefits, don't call me ever again, do you hear me?.
