Isabelle's POV " A reunion? I thought they wouldn't have to do that anymore since everyone seems to be out of the country," Julia lamented over the phone. Julia was the next person I could move up to when Clara was out of the picture. That bitch really thought she was smart enough to outrun me and ditch me. "I had no idea it was going to come this early but they insisted and everyone has to be there. I mean, that includes those that aren't around too and you know what's more important?" Julia was screaming over the phone with excitement. "C'mon Issa, you don't keep such news for long. Bring it on." "It's nothing much Julia," I smirked. " I would be there with my fiance and that would spice the whole place up." Nah, I wasn't one to brag. I have been trying Mr Bryan's phone and he hasn't been picking up. Jack has also refused to pick up my calls. It seems like everyone has been avoiding me now. I dropped the call from the anger of my thoughts. It's getting awkward at this point.
Danielle's POV I had to spend a lot of time taking care of both Clara and Gabriel. The kids seem to have no interest in Clara at all. It's been a while and they still haven't spoken to her. Every once in a while, Clara would sit down and wonder if she was such a monster. She thinks I have poisoned the kids' thoughts and that was why they were avoiding her but I told her nothing like that happened. The doorbell rang. "I'm coming," I shouted from the kitchen and rinsed my hands. I ran to check the door and I opened it to my greatest surprise. "Isabelle?" "You didn't have to say that much, can I come in?" She asked. I looked at her again and looked Inside my house. "What do you want?" It doesn't make any sense. Seeing Isabelle in my house was the last thing I was expecting. Or was she here to confirm if I was with Clara? She must have been told that I came for her or maybe she came for something else. Whatever it was, it can never be good. I stepped outside and closed the door
Bryan's POV I am not going to let go of her this time. She would be the snail and I'll be the shell. I'm done trying to fight it, I would let the world know about my feelings for her this time around. If she wants to leave, I'll let her. If she wants to love, I'll let her. I held her hand more firmly as I took her into the office. The employees are unbelievable. They have never smiled at me the way they are this morning and that is because Danielle is back. Now I realize how dead the company has been without her. Honestly, she's the solar energy of B & S Reality. I glanced at her and noticed her burning cheeks. I smiled. Danielle, you have succeeded in capturing the heart of a rogue like me. I stared at her and marveled at the beauty she was unleashing. She glanced at me and I looked away instantly. I do not know why I did that. I tried to focus on the door that was at the dead end of the hallway. The office door, finally, we'll be alone. Once we got inside, I slammed the door.
Danielle's POVI took one last breath in the bath and went out with a short towel wrapped around my chest. I met him on the bed, his eyes fixed on his phone.He didn't notice me yet. This is the time for second thoughts. Do I really want to do this? I fought the thought. I am getting old now. I don't want to think about anything else apart from what was in front of me. I took a few steps forward and he finally noticed me. I took off the towel I wrapped around my head and placed it on the handle of a brown chair that accompanied a big table.He dropped his phone and gazed at me for a long time. I could feel his gaze through every part of my body. Goosebumps found their way out and there was no cold."You look absolutely amazing." I looked away to cover my embarrassed cheeks. "Thank you."He tapped the bed, beaconing me to come sit by him. I walked slowly and sat down beside him on the bed.With a blink of an eye, his lips were on mine. He was rough and hungry yet seductive with his t
Danielle's POV"Mom," Lila grumbled and shook me as hard as she could. I was having such a peaceful night…I guess. I yawned lazily and robbed my eyes. The three of them stood beside my bed with their arms crossed. I turned on the bed lamp and squinched my eyes. I yawned lazily and looked at them "Wassup girls, having a bad night?""We woke up too early. This is some minutes after six a.m so since we were already awake, we decided to stay that way. And…"Mila jacked Lila and stopped her from speaking. "C'mon now, what are you hiding from me?""It's nothing," Ella said sharply. "You should look out the window. I bent and rested on my hand then I opened the window blind. "What is outside?" I asked as I squinched harder, trying to see what they were talking about.All I saw in the rim dawn was the little playground and houses…and three cars. Wait, three cars?"Did Clara buy a car?" I asked but they shook their heads. I got out of bed and slid into my slippers."It's that annoying monster
Danielle's POVI broke down on the ground in my room. What have I done? I should have thought twice before leaving the company. Now I am once again jobless.It's all my fault, I knew he was with Isabelle yet I allowed him to manipulate me enough and spend another night with me. I have made the same mistake twice, what if I get pregnant again?I'm a bloody fool to think he was a different person. How…how could I ever think of that? Now I understand why they say you can take the Lion out of the jungle but you can never take the jungle out of the Lion.It was all scripted. All the nice things he did for me, all the saving and protection, it was all a lie, a mere chance for me to think he was a good person. I have worked with him for a very long time and I have never seen Isabelle in the company.I smirked. He probably wanted me to see that particular scene of them making out and that's why he told me to come early to work. So pathetic.What was he to gain in the whole of the incident tha
Bryan's POV"What were you thinking Isabelle? What the fuck is wrong with you! This is the tenth time I told you I do not want to see you in my house. Stop showing up.""But—I do not know how to stay without you. I do not know why you were angry with me in the office and it's been four days, and you are still pissed. What did I do?"I walked around and took another gulp of the liquor in my hand. If I wasn't too careful, I could break it on her head. "You want to know, uh? What was that nonsense online? Huh? What the fuck was that! Do you know how important that person is to me? Do you know how many contracts I am going to pull off because of you? What do you want Isabelle?" I pointed my index finger at her."In warning you, you wouldn't like to die in my hands right? Uh, I can't even kill you. You just publicly let the whole world know you are my fiancé. My reputation is in the middle and it's at stake, all thanks to you. You see, you are making me talk too much. I need to sleep."I l
Danielle's POV I stood on the podium, facing at least two hundred people in the small hall. Mark was behind me while Bryan had to get down for me to stand up there. He was furious, and he looked…afraid. That's good. I took a deep breath. The whole room was in decorum. I gave Bryan a hot glare before starting. "First of all, I want to apologize to Mr Smith and his Fiancee. I didn't mean any harm to your relationship. I know, getting closer to you was wrong but like every other girl out there, you were too attractive. In your absence, I guess I was able to stay humble but your pretty face is quite confusing,'' I said and chuckled. The audience laughed. I'm doing great. "I saw the news and I wondered what type of woman I would be in the face of the public. I was ashamed but I have come to make things right. Mr Smith was just trying to make it look more presentable but I guess he was just protecting his reputation. I was fired and I guess I deserved it." I looked at Isabelle. "Even I
