Bryan's POVPeace. It's a natural thing to feel but this felt out of the world. It felt like a state where one was on the moon with access to full oxygen and food with his wife and kids. This kind of life where there is no noise and you can do whatever you wish, that's how I feel.Having kids around me, kids I never knew existed, and a wife I didn't see coming, what more can I ask for as grace? I have received enough grace and now, it's overflowing. I love Danielle, but I have to come to realize that I love her too much.I'm scared of losing her and I am also scared of keeping her and hurting her but I know I would never want to hurt her. She has done a lot for me and she has endured enough, it's time for her to rest and keep calm. Ben showed up at my house unannounced. It was a shocking visit but I was glad that he met my kids and my wife with me. Calling her my wife isn't out of context, right? Well, what was important was that she was now part of a family she had gathered together
Susan's POVI never knew life could be this hard. I have acted the character in prison but it wasn't this hard. I never thought I would be one of those who would wear this Orange uniform even when I haven't been sentenced or anything. Currently, I am nothing but a suspect for killing those people. “For the hundredth time, I am asking you how those people died,” Detective Henry asked again. For a couple of weeks now, he has been trying to investigate me, asking me questions and pushing me to say I killed those men but I didn't.“And for the hundredth time, I am telling you I know nothing about it. What evidence do you have that I killed those people? I don't even know them.” “I won't question you any further. If not today, then tomorrow.” he left me and they took me back to that stinking cell. There was no toilet or bathroom in the cell, I had to put all my poop in a plastic bag and sleep with it every day because there was no place to dispose of it. I thought prisons used to be ver
Bryan's POV It was just as Jack had told me. They planned on leaving the country soon. I'm sure she knew there was no way she was escaping this. She stared at me like I was a ghost, perhaps that was what she wanted me to be at the moment. I could tell she was delusional. She didn't know if I was real or fake and I didn't care less. I stood there, blocking her way. I wanted to know what she would do next, play a little game with my prey. She stood up and picked up her bag in the process. Her hands still trembled as she passed by my side as if she didn't see me and went to sit at the end of the lobby. I didn't follow her, I went down there, where I stood. I knew when it was time, she would be called but she wouldn't ever be seen in that plane. I would make sure she feels the same pain Danielle felt, the only difference is that there is no one coming to save her. When it was her time to go onbroad, I allowed the little girl she came with to board the plane. When she stood up, I stopp
Danielle's POV I’ve been with Bryan’s mother for weeks and he hasn’t come back home since he left that day. Our conversations have been on the phone all day long. I sat on the couch with my legs crossed and my phone to my ear. “When are you coming back? You told me you’d be back in a few days, what’s stopping you now?” I asked him over the phone. He sounded apologetic but he told me he didn’t mean to. He said he had some things to solve and some deals he had to work on. “I’ll be back tomorrow, I promise. How are the kids?” He asked. I looked around, but they weren’t anywhere near. “I’ll call you went they are closer.” “I love you.” I smiled and hung up the phone. Living without him was making me miss him too much. I found Mom in the garden picking up some flowers. I joined her and picked up some lilies at the far end of the garden. I have never stepped in the garden, all I did was watch the kids play in it from a traceable distance. It's big now that I'm in it and the sweet smel
Danielle's POVI sat behind the counter at the far end of the room and listened as Mother explained how she met me and what Bryan told her to her husband. I felt like I was in a cage, the man’s voice was too intimidating, and my heart raced. Everything around me gave me reasons to go home and escape whatever was to come. I could sense it. Questions and questions, rejection but I had self-control. “Don’t show any sign of weakness,” o told myself. That sentence has helped me a lot and I hoped it would not disappoint this time.Mila and Lila came out and bumped into the scene. “And who are these?” The old man asked. I stood up to answer him but my kids’ mouth beat me to it.“Hi, I’m Mila and this is Lila.” She glanced over her and pointed to Ella who sat by my side. “That is Ella and my Mom sitting over there and this is my Grandma. What’s your name, sir?” That’s the cutest Mila has ever been. Her voice has never been so soft and understandable. She was detailed with her words and made
Danielle's POVI stood in front of him, not letting him go anywhere. If I hadn’t stood in front of him, Lord only knows what he’d have done to his father. “ That's okay Bryan. You shouldn’t do all of this in the presence of the kids. What do you want them to think of you? I–I just want you to calm down okay?”He looked like he was going to push me away with the way he stared at me with range. He closed his eyes and eased his fists. “Get your bags. We are leaving.”“But—”“You would listen to me, Danielle!” He yelled at me. His voice was so high, I shuddered. I took my gaze away from him, I couldn’t stand it. No one has ever shouted at me that way before. I turned around and left, taking huge steps at a time. I stocked my clothes in my bag roughly and took my kids’ bags to the bed.“They are crazy! They are all crazy. No one talks to me that way. He’s not my father, not my mother, not even my family! He had no reason to scream at me that way, why did I say that? Huh? What did I do? I d
Bryan's POVI stood dumbfounded and stiff like a shocked statue. I turned slowly to Mom, I needed to confirm what he just told me. When I looked at her, she had the same expression as I did. She didn’t know what he was talking about. He must have gone mad, everything he has been doing since he stepped in has been out of order, perhaps I should get him a hospital.“Can you say that again?” I said and he repeated his words. “What are you saying, honey? I was the one who gave birth to these kids and I know what I gave birth to. I know who I fucked and you know these kids were born on the same day. Why would you say one belongs to you and the other isn’t yours?” Mom asked. I was about to ask her to say something so he would get his brains back in his head.“I found out on the day they were born. Did you forget we went through artificial insemination when we thought we couldn’t bear kids? Then I also had sex with you which got you pregnant. After a DNA test, the doc told me you, being the
Danielle's POVIt’s been the most peaceful week of my life. The kids have been going to school and Jack brings them to the company after school. Unlike before, I do not have my office in Bryan’s office, mine was in the place where it used to be. There was no news from Susan or Isabelle, there was no lurking around of Marks and Clara has been busy with the Bebe guy she met in Porto Rico. She had been blabbing about him to me over the phone for days. She told me they have been going out and doing things. I guess my best friend is getting nuts though, she did a videotape of how the guy was fucking her and sent it to me as proof. She just shared with me free porn which made me think twice about having her Brain checked out when she comes back. On the contrary, everyone in the company missed me. Perhaps it was the way I related with people, they seemed to find me simpler and easier to talk to instead of going to Bryan.Linda got promoted and now she is working on the branch where Bryan w
