2022-04-09 18:36:54The 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 itRelated chapters
Once upon a Time Chapter Twenty three:
***....(flashback)"I'm sorry,""What do you mean by that?" She sobbed. "You said that you needed space and I gave you that, thinking that you will get yourself together and come back so we can be together again, what's wrong? What's wrong so we can fix it?Then he said, "I can't be in this relationship anymore. There I no problem really, I just can't be with someone I don't love Clara.""After everything I went through for you, you decide you can just end things?" Clara yelled. "Why are you doing this now? Why have you decided to ruin my life for goodness sake out told me that night that-""We made a mistake!!!" He yelled, interrupting her and she flinched before before breaking down all over again. "Can't you get it? I'm not in love with you, I never was. I wa

***Thia actually thought about it. She actually thought of giving up the one thing that she had wanted for years. That wasn't her at all. When she told Daniel that his Ex fiancée was in California, she didn't expect him to just fly over there immediately considering that he was adamant on admitting the truth.She actually thought that he was already cut up in his problems for her to interfere in them. Thia sighed and rolled to face the ceiling of her bedroom. She couldn't believe that she was actually letting go. She was one to always get what she wanted without backing out but now, she was making a very hard decision to walk away and start afresh, where there is no JK and where there is no Daniel.___Becky was doing the exact thing Daniel told her to do. Daniel had told her to take the day off and that was what she wa

***She looked away. "What's wrong?" He asked when she gradually loosened her hold on him."Huh, no it's nothing. I think we should get some rest already, it's getting late." She told him but his grip tightened instead."Is that your way of escaping the question?" She shook her head. "What happened now? I told you mine, I didn't hold anything back so you have to tell me yours."How was she going to start?She hesitated. "Daniel, I-" he nodded for her to continue. "I think we should really talk about something else." She tried again and he frowned."You don't want to tell me?" He nodded in understanding. "I should have known what I was getting myself into telling you that. I can never even tell if you are in love with me anyways, so it's fine." She swallowed. "You know you're right, it's dark already we should just head off to bed." He said and began to retreat for the night.She watched his expression change to that of ang

***Becky woke up to a hard naked chest with the blanket covering half of her. She shut her eyes to the morning light once again, hating how she reacted to it.How much she hated mornings. She groaned and sat up before taking in her surrounding. The place sure smells rich and my God look at that massive television!She panicked. 'Where the heck was she?' She looked around only to catch the eyes of the man that owned the nice body she slept on. She quickly drew the blanket to her chest to cover up."Good morning to you too," She was so busy looking around when she woke up to discover that he had leaned against the head board with his hands behind his head."Where the hell am I?" She asked."Don't you remember... Last night....party?" He tried to make her remember and when he saw her grimace after seconds of thinking, he smi

***His hand never left her waist as they walked into one of California's best restaurant that evening. It only seemed to grow tighter as people turned to stare at them. He knew that the stare of people made her quite uncomfortable and so, he made her know that she was not alone."Let me take you to your table sir," A waitress told him. It was like they awaited his arrival and immediately he made himself known, they came to him."Sure," Daniel said and they both followed the waitress down the hall.Daniel pulled out a chair for her to sit before coming to sit before her."Such a nice restaurant. How did you find this kind of place?" Clarissa found herself asking.He smiled. "It didn't take much from me because I actually own this place Clarissa." When she didn't reply he found himself looking at her.She scoffed. "Are y

***The door slammed shut with a thud as he walked away from Clarissa. The door automatically slammed in her face but she opened it still and walked after him. She stopped to look around where he had gone and found him walking up the stairs to her room. Ignoring the curious stare of Daniel's assistant, she ran after him.Clarissa shut the door of the bedroom behind her leaving Becky to stare at them in curiosity. They had been so excited to go out and now he comes back angry. She shrugged excusing herself from the dinning before walking to her own bedroom to wallow in her own thoughts. A good thing the bedrooms were soundproofed so whatever they thought was to solution to their anger would be none of her business."What was that about?" Clarissa voice had been ignored once again making her frown. If it's one thing that got her paranoid easily, it would be to be ignored."Daniel?" She cal

***She groaned in her sleep but that didn't drive his attention away from the large glass window. She stirred, slowly waking up from her slumber.She smiled when she remembered the events of last night before letting her eyes opened. She turned only to find the other side of the bed empty. This was not how she expected her morning after a mind blowing sex to play out. She looked around until her eyes landed on the figure that was staring out in space. She watched him for a while as he stood in front of the glass window. The day was still dark but she was guessing the time to be around 6 in the morning.She sighed and sat up. "Why aren't you in bed? Is something wrong?" She pinched the bridge of her nose when she got no answer."When did you get up?" She tried again. Still nothing.He was on nothing but a pair of trousers. His toned back was left to her display as he

***(Week skip)He watched from a distance as Clarissa tied her hair in a messy bun. She began her steps back into her office immediately and so he waited. When she was just at arm's length, he pulled her to himself swiftly turning to trap her against the wall hearing nothing more than a gasp."What are you doing? let go," She said almost in a whisper."What do you think I'm doing? I'm making you forgive me." He answered for her and she sighed. "Are you seriously going to continue ignoring me? Till when do you get to talk to me?""Daniel you need to stop this, we are not doing this now-" she was interrupted when he locked his lips with hers. Swift with his motion, his breath fanned her face."I can't let you stay mad at me. For God's sake I am losing my mind here let's forget what happened. I was stupid and I swear I won't do it again, forgive me

"Nevertheless, how did you know that I wanted to go to Paris?""I asked you remember. At the restaurant? You said it was a pretty city and I took it that you always dreamed of coming here but don't worry, we have other countries to visit."Her mouth went agape."Other countries!" She exclaimed for the nth time and he was forced to look around. She envelope him in a tight hug."Thank you!" He smiled when he regained himself." I don't know what I would do without you""Probably nothing but-ouch!""Spoiler!" She pinched his nose but

***"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. His legs ached to move back to her but he decided against it. She needed to know he was upset with her, very upset."It was important. I wouldn't dream of hiding such a thing from you but I didn

***Now they mourn her,All they've achieved with her will no longer be real but only in memories. Her hair glittering in the morning light and her eyes that could light up your heart and if you weren't careful to the extent of a burn.At least that was what her husband would say.But now, she would only be remembered and seen in the mind and in pictures.Daniel combed his hair in frustration. All he ever wanted was a fairytale where he would have his happy ever after, but things turned out worse because he had lost one of the most important persons he supposed to share his happiness with.He was hurt. Fate didn't give her a chance to even say she was sorry for all her misdeed!But just as they said, "I forgive you mom,"When there's a beginning, there has to always be an en

He yelled and there was no movement. He gentlypulled Clarissa away hoping to get to the door in time."Put the Gun down Nicholas, it's over." Darius said."No, it's not. 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! Can't I get what I want for once. She and I are supposed to be gone by dawn but no, you always ruin everything, you ruined EVERYTHING!!" His voice echoed around the room that Clari

***"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

***"What did you say your name was?""Anthony Evans and yes, I witnessed the kidnapping of Clarissa Isaiah on the on the 19th of November, 2015." 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!" She hurried away from him but stopped at the door when she saw Darius staring back at her in confusion."What is going on here?

***The short Blondie stared nervously into the night. He dialed a phone number on the public telephone, tapping nervously as it rang. 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. "You want him alive don't you?""I did what you asked me to do. Now give me back my son!""Answer the damn question?!" Tony mumbled a yes. "Come before midnightIf you're early, I can begenerous."Tony's grip on the telephone tightened as he held back his frustration. He hasn't b

***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?.
