Bryan's POV The lady has some nerves I must say. She knew me, she knew Isabelle. Looks like they aren't friends that begin with. Her fierce stare and her solid voice. That was a real woman. I smiled again as the enticing memory of our first meeting flashed before my eyes. I got to see those gray eyes again and this time, they were closer. I was an inch close to drawing her in for a kiss. She was injured, I saw as she walked back to get her bag. I said it, if we meet again, I wouldn't let her go. So be it, she would be mine in a couple of days. At first, I wondered who it could be that dared to raise her voice, even my mother dared not. She was lucky I had an interest in her, other people don't end up too good. All the pleasure I took in her was in her eyes. She would regret meeting me or coming to my company to work. Someone knocked on my door, drifting me away from my thoughts. "Come in Linda." She had come in handy. "Is she gone?" "Yes sir." "You didn't talk to her much for
Danielle's POV I hadn't reached home before I got the mail that I had been employed but I wasn't so happy about it. What was there in being employed by the company? Knowing that Isabelle's boyfriend worked in the company made me sick. That means I could be bumping into Isabelle if I am not too careful. I didn't want anything to relate me to Isabelle or Clara again. I wanted to be alone, just me and Gabe, and the babies, and Pa Bruno. "I don't see anything wrong with seeing Isabelle in your company every once in a while. You don't need to talk to her, all you need to do is mind your work and business. Besides, you aren't one to give a fuck." Gabe brushed Ella's hair. The baby played with his hand and giggled. Mila and Lila were on the ground playing with each other. It's a great feeling to see my kids grow up. "I just don't feel so good about it. It's a hassle. That lizard-looking bitch confuses my day." "Mila could use some of your fleshy touch. She has been looking at you since
Danielle's POV "You mean you?" I asked and stood up too. I didn't want anything to bring me into talking with Isabelle's boyfriend. I have tried all along not to spare him at a single glance. The other man looked a bit like Gabriel, it wouldn't be so bad working with and for him. Perhaps he was the CEO of the company. It doesn't matter. The pay was two thousand dollars. I thought that way too much. Although I could feel the happiness filling my heart, I still wanted to know the kind of job I had to do in the company that deserved so much. "You are not fine yet Miss Arnold. I am just leaving and besides, this is the boss here. He would put you through the rest. As for now, goodbye." The man left. I slowly sat down back, trying not to look surprised. "I guess you would have to see me more often than you have planned for Miss Arnold. What's with the expression on your face? You don't look too happy about it." He crossed his legs. So he was the boss after all. A glint of regret swe
Bryan's POVI watched as she walked out on me. No one has ever been more bold. She just started her job and she already told me to my face to kick her out.I smiled and adjusted my suit. Charming. Recalling the moment I felt her shiver, her gray eyes embracing mine, hiding something I know not of.Does she want to be kicked out? I'll put her in a position where she wouldn't be able to leave even if she wanted to. I went back to my seat trying to think of a new outline for a new game.Her eyes…damn I'm getting distracted again. Danielle is so clever and smart. She's a lady of principles. She's able to stand my warning. Other ladies would have been shaking, most would have been in tears but Danielle…she was…different.My phone rang, drifting my thoughts away. "I'm listening," and I dropped the pen that was with me."You haven't called me or come to see me since last week. What's happening? I have been alone here and I need you."There goes Isabelle. I have been experiencing peace since
Danielle's POV"Hello, we're home." I sprung out of the couch at the sound of Gabe's voice. Finally, they were here. I have been waiting for hours. Since I came back from work, my kids were nowhere to be found. After several shouts of Gabriel's name, I realized he wasn't home. There was only one explanation to that, he had taken them out."What took you so long? Where did you go? It's cold outside." I helped him with the plastic bag that was filled with whatever he went out to buy."I needed to get something. We are out of sugar and cereals. I couldn't leave them alone in the house so I had to take them along. They made a new friend today." I placed his stuff on the kitchen counter and then went to kiss my kids on their forehead."Babies make friends every day."Gabe unbuttoned his shirt slowly. His collarbones and the strength in his chest became wide open. I looked away before the feeling intensified."Where is Gramps by the way? Did he go for sports? But today is just Monday."Gabr
Danielle's POVI couldn't stop thinking about Gabriel in class. "Hey.""Hey," I said back without looking. After a minute, I looked back and found Davis smiling at me. I quickly turned back to the board. Why was he smiling stupidly?The teacher came to teach us his class. I hate when teachers teach mathematics. It was econometrics and it had a lot of calculations in it, why did they give it to a man to teach?I could barely understand what he was teaching in class, I knew I would need to open the book and textbook when I got home. Thinking of the possibilities, I could be with Mr. Smith right now and be running different types of stupid errands for him, Isabelle's boyfriend.I don't care though, I take pride in the things I do. "Hi D," Clara's voice sounded from behind the class. I knew it was her but, what do they want now?I turned back and found her sitting directly behind me. "Hi," I said in the most sarcastic way I could. I wasn't interested in talking with her or anyone around h
Isabelle's POV From the news I got from Clara, that bitch felt nothing. After all the stress I have put into publishing that post. I would have gone to school if I hadn't been too ahead of myself. I was grounded. It's always Mom. I couldn't call Mr. Bryan to come around because I knew I wouldn't be able to leave the house. Knowing that Tony was in the house, that devil would tell Mom if I sneaked outside. "You look sad Issa, do you need my help?" Speaking of the devil. Can we strike a deal?" He helped me untangle my yarn and he picked the one that had gone out in the field. He came back and dropped them in the basket. "Thanks." "You want to go outside. And you want me to shut up by promising me something and you'll end up not giving me. You have done it before so I know exactly what is going on in your mind. You can go, I promise I won't tell Mom. You don't need to promise me anything." He turned back to leave but I stopped him. "You know, I can give you something you would like
Danielle's POVGabriel was twenty minutes late, the longest twenty minutes of my life. I was waiting in the car as he had instructed earlier. Mrs Helen was inside with Gramps, at least I knew that they would take good care of my kids.I had to hide to get out of the house because the babies were crying for me to stay. I was still an hour early for work and wondered if I should get a drink at Shiloh's. I felt like drinking ginger ale and munching on beer but it was too early. Perhaps I would do that on my way back.It was a sunny day but I couldn't put on my big floppy hat because of my corporate dress code. I took my round black-tinted sunglasses along with me anyway."I'm sorry I took too long. We can go now." While driving, Gabriel glanced at me and told me to take my notebook out with my pen. "So that you look official.""Good idea," I said, "except that I left it back in the room."Gabriel clicked his tongue. "You women, you'd forget your weenies if they weren't glued on." Laughe
