DANIELLE'S P.O.V.The process of donating my blood was a less easy and more stressful procedure than I thought it was going to be. After volunteering myself to be the blood donor, I had no idea what go expect because I had never done so before, so when I was asked, by the doctor, to follow one of the nurses whom he called away from the ensuing pandemonium in the lobby, I followed without asking any questions.The nurse led me to a laboratory where I was then handed over to a medical laboratory scientist who explained to me that my blood would have to be tested first before the donation to see if Alfredo and I had the same blood group or if our blood groups were compatible. I then watched as she tied a tube like item tightly around my upper arm and cleansed an area of my arm with a cotton wool which was soaked in methylated spirit.When the needle pierced through my skin and into my vein, my eyes were closed very tightly and I held my breath in trepidation. As soon as the needle had pi
DANIELLE'S P.O.V.What was the term 'Luck'?How could one explain what Luck was?How could one actually fully comprehend all that it entailed?Luck could be portrayed as chance considered as a force that could cause good or bad things to happen. It could also be characterized success or failure that was apparently brought about by chance rather than one's own actions.In other words, luck was chance that forced either good or bad things to happen without one being actively involved in making the choice between either one of the two occurrences.I could very well say that, all through the stages of my life, I'd had strokes with both sides of the coin when it came to luck. As a person, I had grown up blaming all of the unsatisfactorily occurrences that happened to me on bad luck while the great things that I had achieved were praised on being as a result of good luck. Throughout most of my life, I had experienced more good occurrences than bad because I was very much cuddled by my fathe
DANIELLE'S P.O.V.The night unfurled herself as she roused from the temporary slumber that she had been forced to take by the bright sun, and announced her arrival by casting her dull glow upon and wrapping the earth in the embrace of her dark folds.Two days and nights, very much like the present one, had passed since the incident that had taken place at the Valentino mansion, and like the earth had been subjected to by the night, I had been left in the dark about the details of the incident by my husband and the entirety of his family.The events of that fateful day were still, very clearly, ingrained into my memories and whenever I recalled what had happened, it caused me to burn with curiosity to find out why the things that had happened that day had gone down the way that they had done. More than anything, I wanted to find out who the strange woman who I had seen was, and why she'd had such an effect on the Valentino family.I wished that I could call Alisia and have her off-load
DANIELLE'S P.O.V.After nearly a year of being married to Adrian Valentino, I had come to realize that he loved to do things that left me both surprised and breathless; whether it was from him saying something, so ridiculous, that I was tempted to throw him out of the room, or from him exhibiting his level of expertise and experience in all things coitus related; whichever of the two ways that it was, Adrian Valentino always managed to leave me winded up and shocked.When Adrian had asked me, in a deep and husky voice laced with an emotion that I did not know, the question; "Can I kiss you?"; I had not expected it. So when he pressed his lips onto mine, I had been rooted to my spot on the couch, with my eyes wide open like saucers, because definitely not expected it either.His lips were soft and gentle as they moved against mine; they moved slowly and lightly on my own lips, much unlike the fervid and aggressive claiming of my lips by his own that usually came alongside our make outs
DANIELLE'S P.O.V.The sight of Adrian's fist buried nearly halfway through the wall, where cracks had begun to form, was extremely disturbing. Alarmed by what I saw on returning to the living room, I rushed over to my husband's side to find out why he'd had a sudden change in mood, and with worry heavily lacing my tone, I asked; "Adrian! What is wrong?"When he turned to look at me with his light blue orbs flashing angrily with an intensity that I had never seen before, I knew that something huge had happened; and that something that had thrown him into such a state of absolute fury was, obviously, not something good. With his nostrils flaring, his eyebrows creased and tightly knitted on his forehead, and his lips slightly open with heavy breaths, which heaved his chest up and down, escaping them, Adrian continued to stare at me with that intense wrath in his eyes."What is wrong, Adrian?" I had to repeat my question as Adrian continued to stare at me with such fury that it scared me.
DANIELLE'S P.O.V.The days passed in a blur, rolling into weeks which, in turn, rolled into months and I spent my time alternating between Adrian and I's house, school, and the Valentino estate. After my tete-a-tete with my husband, Adrian, we had brain stormed ways to get rid of his irresponsible birth mother who had only returned to their lives to upheaval their stability, cause problems for the blooming family, and get herself some cash, free of charge, through blackmail.Although I was still reeling with all of Adrian's confessions and revelations to me, I kept my swirling mind under control, long enough to run up the stairs to the bathroom in search of the first aid box; run back down the stairs which I took two at a time, with the first aid box gripped in my hand; clean, disinfect, and bandage the bruises that were scattered across Adrian's fists in small, red, and angry looking cuts; and then brainstorming with him for ideas to get rid of his irresponsible biological mother who
DANIELLE'S P.O.V.That night; the night of the date; Adrian and I slept in each other's arms after a very long time of abstaining from one another; we slept in each other's arms after being drained from the exhilarating and passionate activities that we involved ourselves in. That night would forever be a memorable one for me as it marked the start of something fresh, sweet, intimate, and passionate between my husband and I. The night had easily slid its way up to the top of my list, taking the crown for the best night that I'd ever had in all of my twenty four years of living.The date, although unexpected, would be forever ingrained in my heart as it had been such a wonderful and romantic event. Once more, Adrian had managed to shock me and this time, whether he meant to or not, he had won me over.As the days after our fervid activities stretched into weeks, Adrian and I could scarcely keep our hands off of one another. After spending the day time apart from each other, with Adrian
DANIELLE'S P.O.V.The early morning sun light licked its way, mutely, through the closed cream colored curtains that covered the length of the windows in my new bed room, and fell on to my face. I felt a smile pull across my lips from the feeling of the sun rays that kissed my face, while letting a sigh of contentment escape from my lips.It was finally the D-day; the day that I was to finish my last exam for the semester and now more than ever before, I was closer to achieving my dreams; or more so, the dreams that my father-in-law, Alfredo had designed for the company at the expense of his one and only daughter in-law.Gently prying my eyes open, I threw away the blankets and comforter that I had tucked myself into the previous night, and buried my feet into my bathroom slippers. With my slippers slapping gently against the floors of my bed room, I made my way to the windows and threw the curtains wide open.I felt a surge of happiness swell in my chest as I watched the sun rays str
