What happened? ", asked Dane softly.

I was playing with the bottle cap sitting unable to meet his eyes. I was truly behaving like a blushing bride for no reason.

" Nothing ", I answered back shyly.

" It is not nothing. Something has changed you haven't come near me after the kiss", said Dane. I heard his annoyance.

"You need to rest Dane", I answered honestly. I wanted him just as he wanted me. But the problem is that I knew how important the rest is for him. I have watched him doing the labored breaths for far too long.

"I just came out of the coma. I have rested for the rest of my life", said Dane.

"Dane you are confused. There is nothing at all please believe me", I begged him.

"I think you don't want to be near me. I'm not able to walk. I know I'm no more desirable to woman", said him biting the last words out.

"Dane don't be ridiculous. I have been with you day and night. I haven't left you at all since the accident", I corrected him.

"Then tell me why are you refusing to sit nea

    "How was it?", I asked him enthusiastically. I was brimming with excitement about his attempt to walk."Nothing worth to tell", he said absently.He was being wheeled into bed by the nurse who is thankfully not a spy from Heidi's universe."Not the bed. I'm sick of it", said he. I knew why he was cranky it must take him some time to adjust to this reality like the doctor told me. He suggested both of us to go for some therapy. Dane scoffed at it. He is negative about everything these days except one thing. He is always trying to lure me into the bed. I'm resisting him with great difficulty. That also doesn't improve his mood. He had been seriously wounded and had been operated on. He needs some rest even though he acts as if he didn't want it. The nurse practically ran from us because I knew how Dane can be a meanie if he is tired. From his tired face and sweaty body I could tell that he needed to lay down for sometime. But he will die before admitting anything of the like. I sighed a

    "Dane what do you mean by self discharge?", I exclaimed."I'm done playing invalid. If I should continue to do so at least let me do it in my own home woman", he shot back."What about the treatment?", I asked him."What has the treatment achieved so far. It has been seven days", he said while looking into my eyes. I could see he was done."But doctor has explained everything already it will take some time. You should trust them", I told her."Did you believe them when they told you that there is no more hope?", he asked me. His voice tender."They never told that", I told him. I was sad all of a sudden. Even remembering those days fills me with dread and despair."Maybe not in so many words. But they tried to push you out so that they could pull the plug conveniently", he said. His voice dark."They would never do that", I protested."That may be because I'm rich. What if I wasn't then? They would have stopped putting me on life line. Since they couldn't get money from my family", he

    When I entered our gigantic bed had transformed to accommodate him. I looked at him with a smile."I didn't ask for it but Fathima is too good at her job", he answered me."I think if it is me and Fathima drowning together I'm sure you will save Fathima", I mused."Maybe then I will jump back so I can die with you", he said his eyes playful."What if I want you to live happily and marry again?", I asked him."Is this a very tricky question? Because I'm never going to marry again just so you know. Maybe I will just fuck and leave. You know us men we have needs ", he smirked at him."I could forgive you if you married but I will never do that if you just fucked around", I said seriously."I'm done talking about scenarios. Get into bed you are wasting the time", he said irritated."I'm not in the mood anymore. I think I have a headache. I will go and have a coffee", I said to him my eyes narrowed."You take a step outside I will spank your ass first then I will fuck you", he said his eyes

    Life was back to normal and I was thankful for that. He started working from his office. I wasn't needed there so I was sitting in my bedroom. I should join back on my work. But I didn't know how I could just go back. I didn't care about them and neither did they. They might even call fair weather friends. I don't blame them they must know that I didn't entertain visitors at that point. But they could have called me and asked about my well-being. It was only manners.I heard a knock and instantly knew that it must be Fathima. She came inside with a cup of coffee. All I wanted to do was kiss her. She was indeed a good housekeeper."Thanks, Fathima", I told her."Why are you not going to your office?", she asked me. I almost spit my coffee by surprise."Why do you ask?", I managed to say."Because you don't look good sitting in your bedroom moping", she said without batting an eye."I thought you hated me going to work", I said."I only thought your work is making you sullen but now I r

    I came outside wearing the pearls that would fit the charity endeavor I'm running. The only compromise I have done was that I have swapped the heels with a comfortable shoes. I'm wearing sneakers so that I could run or even climb the wall if the security tried to tackle me. I was now having a staring contest with the security person. He got a phone call and he backed away. I resumed it with another guy who was now standing in my way."Here Mr Wellington wants to talk to you", said the security.The usual madam and respect was lost probably because of my attitude. I didn't mind it I would rather they treat me as an equal than some queen."I'm going no matter what you say. The only way you can stop me is to restrain me", I told him."Fine. You do what you want as always. But if something happens then you can kiss your chance of ever seeing the sky goodbye", he said. I knew it was a threat but I wasn't intimidated.I had let go of Enzo. He used to live in my head rent free all this time

    "You must all check out the amazing response I'm getting", said Heidi but once she saw me her face lost the enthusiasm. "You are back", said she and went to sit next to Irene."Yes I'm. Congratulations by the way", I said to my sister. I thought she would show me a small percentage of the attention she gave me when she thought I would leave Dane. But with Dane paralysed she lost her interest in him and is dating some banker."Thanks Ziva. How is Dane?", she asked impersonally."He is doing good. He had rejoined his work as well. So I thought I should start mine", I told her."With Heidi being the new chair the organisation has started to be really interesting", said Irene."Really? So it hasn't got anything to do with your enmity with Ziva?", asked André casually."André no one wants to know what you think", hissed Irene."I have started a promotion in vogue. It is costly but it is definitely worth it", said she dreamily."We already had a promotion in vogue", I reminded her."Oh tha

    "What is it? Is it about Dane?", she asked."No. It is about the organisation. What are you doing with it Heidi?", I asked."I'm trying to give it my best", she said haughtily."By paying out the precious funds?", I asked her."I'm not wasting money", she said irritated."You are that too on meaningless promotions", I said to her."You are jealous that you are not the face of the campaign anymore", she said."Heidi please let us talk like adults here. I'm not jealous. I'm concerned about your plans. We need the funds for the meals", I explained to her."I know the meals are important but so is the promotion. We need a lot of money now considering Dane is trying to get rid of it", said she."What?", I asked shocked."So you haven't heard about it. Thought you shared everything", she said with a smirk."Why would he do that?", I asked gutted. Why wasn't he talking to me about such things?"Because he is afraid that Enzo will shoot him again", said she with a shrug. I gasped when she sai

    I love this life. I know it is cruel of me to confess it but I can't stop thinking about the fact that I have to go away from Dane whenyge gets better. That doesn't mean that I don't want him to be OK. I want what is best for him. I know he will walk soon since he had promised to attend the therapy sessions. It makes me smile what he did to me last night. He shows me heaven every time when we are together. But I would never forget last time. We made love like we had all the time in the world.I woke up early and saw my hubby was already up and went away. He is an early bird and one hardly forgets their routine. But I on the other hand wakes up really late and thankfully Fathima makes me coffee so I could chase away my Monday blues. But my husband hardly requires a coffee. He runs like a well oiled machine. I knew he was very keen on his morning runs. When he wakes up earlier than I could ever imagine. I knew he missed it. I hardly ever witnessed it happen. I only saw the proof of his

    Charlie hadn't said anything to Dane. If only she waited for him to talk. Charlie pretended to say the truth so that Heidi comes clean before Dane. She had done it but I knew she will pay the cost for it. Dane now knows everything. The Wedding won't happen now. I felt a little sorry for my sister after all she had lost Dane again."You didn't say the truth to me. I'm angry at you too", said Dane."I won't blame you. I should have told you about Enzo but I was afraid you won't take it seriously", I confessed."His people had shot me and you think I won't take it seriously? Ziva please be mature", said Dane."I'm sorry Dane", I said."You made us lose our precious three years of life. I missed my daughter's birth and her significant mile stones. It is not something that I can forgive", said Dane."You are right. I was a coward and everyone used that knowledge to influence me", I admitted."You are not a coward Ziva. I wish you were a little more selfish. You sacrificed us for my life. I

    When I reached the venue I was immediately ushered into the groom's room. I went to see Dane working on the laptop. My daughter screamed and went to hug him. He took her and lifted above his shoulders. Who knew my serious daughter was a fun loving girl ?"I miss you daddy", she said."I miss you too bug", he said."Don't get married", she said bossily."Why?", he asked curiously."Because mommy cries", she said shocking me.He looked at me with a hint of smile. I was dumb struck."I wasn't", I said to him.She climbed down from her father and took her place next to me. I gave her a warning look."Don't lie", she said to me."I'm not lying", I said to her."You said that daddy", she was about to say everything but I put my hand on her mouth."That is enough", I warned her."There is still time confess your love or it will be too late", he said with a smirk."No. Our life is not a rom Com Dane.

    I'm a stubborn creature where the need arises. I'm not going to backdown even if he says that he can't live without me. But I knew he won't say it. I had hurt him enough but still he says he can't marry Heidi. I can't go home till we reaches some sort of agreement."Dane. I'm not going back where it all started. I want an out", I said painfully. I had a fair idea on how much I was hurting him."Fine. I will get married but you have to be at the wedding. If you decide not to come at the last moment the wedding is off", said Dane."You can't say that. Please I won't go back not with Enzo there", I said to him."The wedding is going to happen here and tomorrow. Remember to be there else there is no wedding. I had booked a cab for you. It is not a good idea for me to join you", he said. I nodded my head. I was ready already.I have to be there at Dane's wedding to my sister. The fate couldn't be any more cruel. It hurt me like hell to adjust to the prospect that my husband is going to get

    The thing about mistake is that we don't have a desire to undo it constantly but I didn't feel that way. Sleeping with Dane might be a bad choice on my part but I never regret a second that I spent with him. I would do it all over again if given another chance. But I shall remain silent. My thoughts never should come out of my head. It must stay there safe and silent. Even after I insulted Dane he being a gentleman had gone to fetch me fresh clothes. I stay there waiting for him to get the clothes. He must have ordered it through the hotel. But it still hadn't come. So he had gone there to check what happened to my dress. He might have fired somebody too if the hotel was his.I heard a knock and Dane came through. I stayed there very still. All my instincts said to go towards him. My emotions were over the top plus the amazing sex we had destroyed any small amount of self-control I used to have."Here is your dress", he said putting it on the bed."Can you give me some privacy?", I as

    "I'm sorry for hurting you. I want us both to move on for the sake of Angel. You are also getting married to my sister. Let us end this please. What do you want in return for it?", I asked him."I want you to give me back every kiss I gave you. Then I will forget you and move on", he said."Fine. I have a condition too. I want you to give me back every kiss I gave you as well. So that we can settle the score", he said."Done", he said. I was the one who charged at him he bent down the kiss me. We kissed each other like there was no tomorrow. His tongue duelling with mine. I gasped when he bit my lips hard enough that it hurt. I bit him too drawing blood. He chuckled when he heard me growl. You better stop provoking me. I said in my mind.His hands cupping my boobs. I moaned when his hands tore my expensive dress. I didn't bother to put aside the tattered dress. It lied crumpled on the ground. I stood there in my undergarments. He removed a single boob from the constraints of my bra. H

    "You can't let go of me right? You wanted to play me even after leaving me. I just played you back", he said with tight eyes."It wasn't any game Heidi loves you. She asked my help I gave it to her. I have no other interest in you", I said to him."Is that so? Then why are you on a date with me? How does it help your sister?", he asked me crossing his arms."I'm doing what I'm told. You said you will leave me alone after this date", I reminded him."I said and you listened. Things are that easy for you? Our life together didn't matter to you isn't that right? You couldn't endure a life with a handicap so you left me. But still you are here they are right what goes around comes around", he said."Why do you ask me to this date? Is it to torture me?", I asked him."No. I'm on this date to say you goodbye. You might have meddled with my life a lot. But after today you won't do anything like that ever again. I wanted to destroy you initially but then I realised that you are also mother of

    "And what do you think?", I asked him."I know my feelings never died for you", he said thoughtfully."You are only saying this to punish me", I said."Why would I want to punish you?", he asked me."Because I left you three years ago", I said."It is correct that you left me. I don't think I can ever forgive you for that. But that doesn't mean that I had lost my feelings for you", he said."I think you want to bed me that is why you are talking about the feelings all of a sudden", I said."I would always want to bed you. I'm attracted to you physically and mentally. I will always want sex from you. Even when we are both a hundred years old", he said."I don't want you", I shot back at him."I realised that three long years ago. But that hadn't deterred me from wanting you like a Madan", said he."You shouldn't say such stupid things. I have used you in the past and disregarded you as it suited me", I lied to him."I got that.

    "You look beautiful", said Charlie carrying my daughter on her hip."Thanks", I murmured putting on the necklace.My open-sleeve dress had so many boob's that I was sure Dane would drool. I knew the game that I was playing is a dangerous one for both parties. It was like fighting with a sword that has no pommel. It can cut both."Is this some kind of a reminder for him? To have an idea of what he missed?", she asked me."I'm only getting ready for the date as he asked me to. That is all there it is. A single date where we will behave like it was the first time I'm seeing him walking", I said."You mean like while you were married to him", she said."Yes for a single date. But there won't be anything beyond that. He is going to get married soon to my sister. She had already told me that it is OK. Dane said that this date night is all he is asking in return for leaving me alone. I have nothing more to ask for from Dane and he will only get what he asked", I said."That is going to be to

    I have decided to give him what he want. I know it will be a lie to confess that it is something that he only he wants. I want that too. A date that we missed three years ago. I couldn't help but imagine what would have happened if I hadn't met Enzo that day. I want to see him walk towards me for the first time again. He would have been romantic and flirty with me all night. We would have ended that night early each of us eager to go home. So that we could celebrate together at night.I was very nervous. Something inside my mind warned me from going through with Dane's idea. It is not only a worst idea but the after math of the said date would be incomprehensible. I won't be able to forget and move on while he ends this fantasy of date. I would be left with broken pieces of my heart.I called Charlie for clarity. I doubt she has anything new to supply. I already know consequences of my decision even though it doesn't make a difference to me.She picked on the first ring. She had alrea
