Danielle's POV
“I didn't want to tell you because I didn't want you to be so curious and get yourself into trouble.” She held my hands and fixed a serious expression. “Our boss is more dangerous than Mark but he protects what he loves. He has saved me once and I am sure he has saved you more than once. He guides what he finds treasure in and disposes of what he doesn't want. He keeps you safe from people like Mark. They are sworn enemies.”
I sighed. There's more to all these that I do not know about. “Let's forget about that for now, it's a conversation for another day. I don't want to ruin your lovely evening.”
She brought out a box and handed it over. “Go and change, he will be here no matter what.”
It felt like he asked her to dress me to look like his wife. Taking the dress out of the box, it fell to the ground, gracefully showing off the floral pattern of a rose.
“Woah,” the kids exclaimed. The dre
Danielle's POV The emptiness of the rooftop with the cool Ed Sheeran song playing softly from a place I couldn't point out made the night cool and romantic. The colors blended with my dress and he, like a Noble man in a suit, sat across me with love burning in his eyes. I wanted him to speak first and tell me what he had in mind that made him come to such a romantic and private place just to have dinner. However tonight will play out, I do not plan on getting laid. His thoughts didn't seem far from my own when he said we would be done in time to go back to the kids. “So, what do we start with?” I asked. “First of all,” he stood up and went behind a closed curtain. He came back with two plates of baked full chicken and pizza. Why is it always pizza, is that the one thing he knows how to do? “We eat. You asked me to have dinner with you, that's what's more important." I smiled and dug my knife into my chicken. I was starving. Thank goodness it was just us, I can eat as I please. F
Bryan's POV Soft moans escaped her mouth and her hot breath caressed my face. Oh lovely her body was, she tasted like candy. The kiss was soft and full of pleasure. As much as I didn't want to, I had to pull away and look down at her pretty face. Her lips curved up in a smile. She looked away shyly and hugged me. “I thought you'd never let me know.” I hugged her back and tried to make her as comfortable as possible. Finally, I had the chance to say it out loud. After a moment of heartfelt hug, she said she wanted to get a rest. She went ahead and sat down in her glorious dress. She fits to be the lover of a handsome and wealthy vampire. Her once happy face changed in seconds. She looked worried and thoughtful. I went over to sit in front of her. “Did something happen?” She shook her head and took a sip of her drink. “I don't want to go about fighting and arguing just to be with you. I have no idea what you want with me or what your intentions are. I can only believe what you
Isabelle's POV I couldn't believe my eyes and stood there in awe. I am sure I called him a million times already and it's been days since he started this. This bitch, Danielle, she never backs down, does she? I'll make sure I make her feel miserable for the rest of her life. “You,” I said and pointed to Danielle. She stepped out into open space and that was when I saw her dress. I saw this same dress online and it cost a fortune. He could get her such nice clothes and make her look so beautiful that I even questioned my beauty. I found the tears behind my eyes, once again, she was taking everything from me. “get your filthy hands off my direction.” Danielle snapped. She frowned her face and walked closer to me, emitting a very dangerous aura. “I have had enough!” Where did she learn to talk back to me and be so confident about it? It was the first time I would see her come back at me, perhaps next Mr. Smith was here. What are they doing here in the first place? I looked around,
Danielle's POV Telling Isabelle not to ruin my night was too late. She already did. I went back in my memory, just how confident Susan was to walk up to me just to attempt to slap me. Nah, I didn't want anything to kill my night for me. I loved the way I stopped her and Bryan stepped up for me. He did it, he broke up with Isabelle. I heard all the conversations they had. I smiled faintly, it's a good thing. Now I know he has nothing to do with either of them and I am free to be with him whenever I want. It is official, I am his girlfriend. Now nothing is stopping me from telling him that he is the father of the kids. I still didn't know how I would tell him. I glanced at him, he was still frowning even as he drove. I put my hands on his beard and teased him. His face became calm as he smiled at the road. “What are you doing?” he asked. I laughed. “just seeing if I could count your beards.'' Of course, that's a silly thing to do. “I'm sorry about that,” he said. I took my hands a
Danielle's POV My mouth dropped, perhaps I didn't hear what he said. “I said the kids are yours. I mean Ella—” “Hush, Danielle. I know of it and I have waited so long for you to tell me why and how it happened. It's a mystery that I want to discover.” I almost lost touch with reality. It took me a lot of courage to walk up to him and tell him the kids were his and he just told me he knew all along. If he knew all along, why didn't he tell me? Why didn't he ask me about it at all and why didn't he tell me he knew? He must have read my thoughts. “The day I gave Ella blood, the nurse warned me and told me to try doing a DNA test. She insisted that Ella looked like me too much and I should just try it. At first, I didn't want to do it but then, I thought about the possibilities.” I stood there and watched him talk. I watched his lips move and speak words that felt so enchanting to me. “The possibilities were very sl
Bryan POV It's been two days and my movement hasn't passed going in and out of the hospital. Ella's health calmed at a fast rate. Her staying in the hospital now is just to make sure she uses her drug. Unlike before, she wasn't on drugs, just drip. She plays around with her sisters just the way lovely kids would do. I made it my job to stare at them as much as I could, I always felt like they were going away someday. As for Danielle, she has been avoiding me. Well, not exactly, she fails to look at me without taking her face away immediately. She couldn't spare me a glance. Every time I call on her, she finds a way to avoid it and do something else. The doctor came in and told me we had been discharged. Ella jumped on me upon hearing the news. They still didn't know that I was their father, they would get so excited and might eventually pass out from learning about that piece of information. Ella and her sisters
Isabelle's POV I sat on the long bench and listened to Mom's blabber as she stood in front of me and shouted at the top of her voice. All this humiliation, all these things that I have to go through, it's all Danielle's fault. I knew from the start that she wanted to have my boyfriend for herself, she has him, and I hope she's perfectly content. This is what I hate the most, getting shouted at when things go wrong. “...you were always busy because of him and you told me you had work you were doing, what work? Tell me, what works? Now where's the outcome? Where are all the things I believed you worked for? I said it but your Father didn't agree, you are so useless…” I had to sit and listen, snubbing her right now would be a very bad idea. When she was done, she hissed and left the sitting room. Finally, some peace. While I sat there, thinking about my life and how ruined it was, Tony walked in with his headphones and went straight there to his room. This was getting serious. H
Susan's POV The weather in the western part of New York had become colder as we approached December. I should have waited back in California. I had hoped I would be able to find a better life here in New York but now, I guess my better life has been given to another lady. For days, I have panicked and listed a lot of chill time for my thinking but I guess I have come off it now. I should face my work and find something more interesting to do. I'm an actress, after all, I'm not ready to destroy my reputation. “But you should teach her a lesson,” Mimi said. She is my make-up artist and she always follows me everywhere I go. She had always insisted that I do something to Danielle but I wasn't going to be part of some scandal. and my image would be wiped off the face of the earth. “I know the kind of person Bryan is, you don't. If you do, you wouldn't tell me to go closer to them anymore. He has who he wants, let him have it. Have you check on the Chinese producer? What is the day he
