We came home because Fathima was stable. I waited till I reached home to broach the subject. Herald helped Dane while getting in and out of the car. I couldn't help him because he was still too heavy for me. I was fuming when we entered the house. But he seemed to be impassive. I hate it when his face starts to get neutral. He is trying to hide the truth from me. This won't end up well.He went to the room. By room, I meant his. I knew by now that he wants to avoid me. He had stopped using his room for a long time and always prefer to be with me. But now he is choosing to stay inside cooped up all night so he can escape from me and my questions."Dane what is happening?", I asked him."You saw what happened", he said opening his laptop."I saw it but I know there is something that you are not telling me again", I said."It doesn't concern you", he said his voice clipped."Excuse me. It does concern me. Fathima almost died", I shouted."Nothing will happen to Fathima", he told me stres
We had bought the food at home because he said he didn't want to take the risk of using anything once he came to know that the coffee was poisoned by someone. The cops suspect the maids but the security is also under their radar."Did they tell you anything?", I asked."No they haven't told me anything but I think I know what is going on", he said tapping on his laptop."Please tell me Dane", I said putting my hand on his shoulder."You won't like it", he said."Whatever it is I want to know. Don't hide things from me", I begged him."The poison was not meant for Fathima. It was meant for me", he said."What?", I asked him."The day of the party everyone had tea that Fathima prepared but the person who did it knew that I don't drink tea and she would make coffee for me separately." I didn't want to drink the coffee at that time. So I said no. I'm guessing she drank it because she doesn't throw away food or water unnecessarily", he said."Greg has issues with me, not you", I said in a
"Oh my God!", I said as it struck me that I could be now viral for not a good reason."Relax. Do you think I will do something that would hurt you?", he asked me."No", I replied my voice low."I deleted it just now", he said looking up from his laptop. I sighed in relief. He has a way to get my blood pressure up every day."I'm going to take a shower", I told him."Was that an invitation?", he asked me."No. I was just saying", I said with a faint blush."Too bad", he teased me. I gave him a small smile. He went back to his laptop.I knew he was busy. He was working hard since he is trying to balance work and home. He works from home since going to the office is becoming a challenge every day. I went to the bathroom and closed the door. I was about to remove the clothes when I felt that I wasn't alone. I turned around to find myself face-to-face with Greg. I was going to shout but he pushed the gun to my mouth."If you make a sound I will blow your brain", he hissed at me. I was shak
"Dane", I called him back. I was crying."Don't even think about it", said my Captor."Please let us go. We will give you the keys", I said to him."Then you will just inform the police afterwards", he muttered."I promise you we won't do anything of that sort. Please believe us", I begged him."Let her out", said Dane."What will you do if I don't listen? Will you come and kick me? I guess not because your legs are not in working condition", he said with a loud laugh."I will protect my wife even if I can't walk", he said."I can do you a favour, Romeo. I will end your suffering by shooting you", he said."You can do what you want but I'm not budging from here", he said back."Dane don't do this", I begged him. I'm going with him so that he is safe. But now he is willingly putting himself in danger for me. "I have an idea why don't you drive? Let us see how much your husband loves you. By the way, the wheelchair is pretty fantastic. I haven't seen one like this before. It is sorry t
"That was brave what you did?", he said to me."I couldn't have let you die", I told him my voice barely whispered.We had talked to the cops and they had agreed to release everyone from security. They said they had nabbed the person who had aided Greg in poisoning. She was a maid named Mary. She was Greg's cousin. She is still being questioned regarding the details but as far as me and Dane are concerned I was glad that this chapter was over.We could cook and eat in the house peacefully. Fathima came out of the hospital. We had forbidden her to get out of bed for some time. But she is still giving directions to the maids from her bed I think.Now Jake and his parents are here. They were really scared when they came to know that we had been attacked. They were right here when Fathima got poisoned too. I thank god that they were alright and Greg didn't hurt them.I'm bandaged like a mummy courtesy to Greg for forcing me to crash my car. My husband will replace the car as soon as I'm i
We have been so busy with the trials and everything. It got so much media attention as well. I knew that somewhere Enzo could be seeing it but so far he hadn't responded. My husband still was in a wheelchair so his progress wasn't as rapid as I thought. I hadn't asked him about it since he wanted it to be a surprise so I'm not going to ruin it for him by informing him that I already knew about the developments. Greg looked very calm in the court. It was a sham because once his eyes caught mine it flashed with anger. I almost flinched away but I was routed to my spot. My husband held my hands tightly to give me strength.When I told the court how much scared I was everyone was so silent. Heidi and Ella had sided with us in the court because he had hurt Dane. Dane was the one who still provides for him indirectly. I begged him to let them stay there even after what they did. I knew Heidi's followers were not what once she had. The breakup had considerably affected it and also she is doi
I'm supposed to kick ass but instead, my ass is being beaten by an old lady. Her name is Maggie and she is at least seventy-five. She is always at my throat. She is even saying that I'm a rich girl who is here to pass the time. No matter how much I tell her that I wasn't born rich just married into she just shakes her head as if I had said something worse."Maggie can you please be easy on me?", I asked her panting."Why? Connor had already done it", said she landing a swift kick making me fall in my Butt.Connor was a nice French guy who made sure none of his blows ended up on me, unlike Maggie. He was also very careful about my feelings. But soon he had to quit because of his visa issues and go back to his country. Now I had an instructor who is old and doesn't give a fuck about me."When can we have a break?", I asked her."You want a break so that you don't want to be kicked in the ass by an old woman?", she said with a smirk.She is a wise old woman with a temper and a very harsh
"What the fuck? Why can't you just hit it?", he shouted at me."Dane it is not easy for me I'm trying my level best ", I said trying not to cry."I'm sorry", he said immediately regretting his words."It is OK", I said trying to keep my pride."Do you want to take a break before doing more practice", he asked me."Yes please", I said. I would rather we stop this shooting altogether but I don't think he will appreciate it.We were now back in the house. He was going to put on Bachelor but I stopped him. I asked him to put on vampire diaries instead. He shrugged and put it on streaming. He was silent during the watch. Was he sleeping? I looked at him and saw him watching the screen blankly. "Do you want to watch something else?", I asked him."No. Can I ask you something?", he asked me."Yes. I told him." You don't care if I'm unable to walk for the rest of my life? ", he asked me." You know the answer already then why are you asking me? ", I asked him. " I have been selfish all my
