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
Danielle's POV “When are we going back to the company?” I asked Bryan days after Ella had been discharged. We have been in his house and Pa Bruno came around once or twice. Gabriel on the other hand seems to be very angry at me. He refused to pick any of my calls and he didn't call me either and that has gotten me worried. He knows I was here but still, he doesn't think I should be here. That's because he does know the kind of connection I have with Bryan now. Speaking of connection, I haven't been talking to Bryan the way I should. There's this kind of fear that broke out inside me the day he confessed his feelings to me. I felt so special and important for the first time in my life and looking at him now is a load of work that doesn't look possible. Everytime I tried to look at him or talk to him, I remember the way he confessed his feelings to me. I get…shy. I wonder where the old Danielle went. These days, I have been doing a lot of cooking and babysitting because I had to baby
Bryan's POV I have had enough of her running away and shading out. I couldn't take it anymore and I planned to show just how much my longing for her has grown. It was her fault that she made me long for her this much and I can't control it. She kissed me back hungry and aching for more. She didn't hide what she wanted and I was going to give her every bit of it. I lifted her ass and carried her to the table. Her hands curled around my head, wanting to touch all of me at a time. My tongue and hers had comebacks and our lips said silent words. Why has she been avoiding me? Perhaps she didn't want this but why did her heart ache so? Her hands slipped around my neck, I knew for certain, it was a morning when anything could happen. The kids who could be the only obstacles are out of the way. The moment was finally here. I do not know what she was thinking and I planned to know. If she didn't want it then I would force her to. “Relax,” I breathed and brushed my lips against hers. One m
Danielle's POVI clung to him, trembling, battling an elemental urge to push him away with the thoughts of seeing him in the same position as another woman.“Hold me," he said and tightened his grip on me. “Don't move.” he trembled, as well, and it eased a brief moment of fear.I kissed him and he responded with a slow caution, as if he worked to control his passion. I didn't want him to control it. Nor would I be controlled. Not now. Not ever.I moved against him and he groaned in an exquisite pleasure that shimmered in his face and glasses his eyes. Firelight danced in his hair. Gazes locked, we began to move together, and my passion surged. We kissed with a fierceness I'd felt all along in his presence. His thrusts grew more powerful, and my one increasingly wild. My anger, my fear, and all the confusion of the past weeks sought vengeance in the frenzy of our lovemaking.This was what I wanted, what I needed. To be possessed, consumed, driven to the brink of madness. Yes, I was nea
Bryan's POVThe time for me to leave came earlier than expected and I still hadn't informed Danielle. I decided we were going to return to the company together and bring our relationship into the light.All eyes were fixed on her and my firm hand that held hers. Danielle in her pride walked with Majesty, proving to be my true and only bride. People greeted her as she went in and she shared a lot of smiles and pretty winks at people.Linda met us at the doorstep of the elevator. She freaked out upon seeing us together but I still didn't understand why she had to scream. I didn't allow her to take Danielle away because I knew that was what she was planning to do. When we got to my office and I closed the door, I pinned her to the wall and kissed her like it was my first time.She was shocked at first but she submitted and kissed me back, settling her hands around my neck and cupping my cheeks. Her succulent hands remained of the nights we knew how much I was going to miss her.Then I ki
Danielle's POV I knew all men were the same but he was doing me a favor. He promised not to be with another woman, he told me he was going to be with me and me alone. Why is he so quick to send me away in the name of a promotion I do not want? What was he running from or what was he pushing me into? I sighed and sat in the car and allowed silence to rule over us. The kids were in the other car that Jack drove, having their time with Clara. They have gotten so attracted to Clara and that's exactly what she wants. “You know, I appreciate the promotion but—” There, my voice failed me for what seemed like a wish was no blessing now that it took me away from him. We got to the airport in no time but we sat there, waiting for Jack's car to bring the kids. He said their car had a fault on the way and they were fixing it. It gave me enough time to talk about the place I was going to. “There’s a house there that's big enough to accommodate you and the kids and Clara. I want you to be sett
Danielle's POV Bryan drove fast but I wish I had the wheels at my disposal. My kids, no no, not them. What not me? Why didn't they just come for me instead? They knew but they knew my kids were my world and I would come looking for them. “what exactly did he say happened? Where did it happen and how? Jack isn't easy to get by, I know that. Just where the fuck did they keep my kids. We paroled everywhere but it was all clear. I felt my soul leave my body and I sat down in fear of losing them. “This is all your fault,” I said to Bryan even though I knew he had nothing to do with it but I needed someone to lash out on. He didn't answer me, he just kept on pacing around and running his fingers through his hair in a troubled way. “ I need to find them and there is no tracker on them. I should have put something to track them on their body,” Bryan lamented. I rested in the car and allowed the grief to consume me. I was helpless and hopeless. They must be frightened. They must be waitin
Bryan's POV I waited outside patiently, perhaps I wouldn't cause too much drama if my wife and my kids walked out here peacefully and unharmed. It's rare to see people go against me, come to think of it, Mark is the only person I can think of who can do such a thing and I know he would never hurt Danielle. In the beginning, when he first set his eyes on Danielle at the seminar, I knew all he wanted was to use her against me and make me hurt in a way but as time went on, I realized he loved her as much as I do and he is willing to go extra miles to have her to himself. I slapped my palm on my forehead as Danielle always did. We should all be in Canada by now, away from all the worldly worries, and just focusing on each other but someone dared to conflict that with me. I stood there, gradually losing patience. Jack should be back by now, what was keeping him? That's it, I've had enough of waiting. I went in the di
