I missed Charlie already and she was still here. I was giving her the necessary space after all she and Jasmine are newly married. I was having my ritual sweet tea from Starbucks. Herald is on leave so now I was in charge of some other security. I don't know his name. He was a pretty chill guy. He doesn't hang around us as Herald did. He kept at least ten feet between us and I caught him checking out his phone many times. This won't be professional but I'm not going to call him out. It may cost him his job.

I had called my sister and she was supposed to join me. I was sitting here waiting for her when I saw Ananya. I waved my hands at her. She smiled and joined me. My sister was late. We would occasionally meet up to repair our relationship. It was a success. Both of us had come long past our grievances towards each other.

"Hi Mrs Wellington", said Ananya.

"Hi Ananya please call me Ziva", I said rolling my eyes. I wasn't that old to give me respect more than I deserve.

"OK", she s

    "We should tell Dane", said Heidi."No", I protested. I can't even imagine Dane being dragged into this mess. I didn't want Enzo to kill my husband. I was still shaking because of the abrupt change.Enzo was alive and I worried that he is going to come after Dane and me. I have to do something. I don't know what. I have to protect Dane and my child. I can't let Enzo ruin everything like he did last time. I wanted someone to help me but I knew that no one can help me. Save me."Relax", said Heidi."I don't know how to relax. I'm trying to think", I said to her."There is no other way than to tell the cops and Dane. They will deal with him", said Heidi."I don't trust cops. They would never believe that Enzo is still out. I'm afraid exposing the truth now is only going to harm us", I told her.I got a call and that was from Dane. I picked it up nervously."Hey Babe did you see the text I sent you?", asked Dane from the other end."Yes", I said. I wasn't calm and collected as I hoped.Bu

    DaneI don't think I can do it anymore. I thought you would recover one day. I have been waiting so long for you to get better that I have forgotten what is like to be happy anymore. You are right it is hard to love a person who can't stand next to you every day. I'm sorryZivaI know my letter is going to burn him like acid. I had left no choice after much deliberation I had reached to this decision. There is no cure for the pain I had caused him. I had swallowed a tough pill. Dane would think that I didn't even have the patience to stay for the night and tell him to the face. I had already ditched the phone along with my disinterested body guard. I walked away from my Stone hearted C. E. O. Even if he wasn't Stone hearted he is going to become one and I would be the reason. This is the second time he is being betrayed. First time it was his first wife and now it is me. It will be a miracle if he trusts a woman ever again. I also felt bad for Heidi. She may suffer because of me. I w

    I'm staying with Charlie because she is now in control of my moves. She had realised that I had messed up big time by lying to Dane. But she also wants to protect me. She knew that me being near Dane right now is very unhealthy considering the fact that we are being tracked by Enzo. He will probably shoot us because that would be a easy thing to do. He wants to set an example of me so none dares to object him anymore. I used to be afraid of him once up on a time. But all I feel for him is pity and disgust. He would never know the meaning of True love. He could have had the best son in the universe in the form of Dane but yet he chose to destroy everything for what? Money? Power? He will never get the love that is shared between a father and son or a grandchild and his grandfather. He chose this life and he will die with no one to mourn him. He is the unlucky one not me."Babe stop zoning out or have you diagnosed with ADHD too?", she asked me."No. I'm sorry for it", I said."It is O

    "Are you sure about this?", asked Jeff.He looked so familiar. I began to see my past much clearly. I was living in a lull of safety and security by being with Jeff. I have never loved him as I love Dane. I wouldn't have even bat an eye if he had done what I did to him." I'm sure", I said."You were adamant that you have to stay with him. I guess whatever debt that you had with him is finished?", he asked me."I was never with him out of debt. Maybe initially but after some time it wasn't like that", I said to him."So you fell for him?", he asked as though he couldn't believe that I could fall for someone like Dane."Yes", I said to him. There is no point in lying and denying anything. What ever I felt for him was the best thing. It was close to heaven. I would never pretend it wasn't real."Why are you doing this? Doesn't he feel the same?", asked Jeff."He does love me. There is something else but I don't want to say. It is too painful for me to even discuss", I said to him."I un

    I was on the flight flying across the continent to Saudi Arabia a place where I had never imagined myself. Jasmine and Charlie are already there. Jeff was with me. As soon as I landed far far away from Dane I started to wear loose clothes that didn't hug my figure. I was afraid that I would be outed that I forced myself to wear tight clothes and I knew I was hurting my baby to some level.When I landed the first thing I noticed was the heat. I was now melting you can't survive without air-condition in here. Jeff had immediately ushered me into a luxury car. The luxury cars run as taxis in here another surprise. I reached Jasmine and Charlie's new home. Their marriage is not valid in here. They are staying as room mates. It was a laughable thing but Jasmine is very excited because she could drive now.Jeff had left us. My temporary arrangement is to live with them and slowly move to another place. I didn't want to disturb them."You are welcome to stay here as much as you want", said s

    "Hello Heidi", I said to the phone."Took you long enough", said Heidi."You wanted me to call?", I asked her letting that question hang in the air."Yes. I have no idea what to do", said Heidi."Did you sleep with him?", I asked her."Yes. On the night you divorced him", said Heidi."Why did you do it?", I asked her."What do you mean? You wanted me to be with him", she said."He was only trying to revenge me. He wasn't attracted to you that time", I told her."No you are lying. He said he wanted to do it and forget everything", said she."I know he must have told what he felt but he wasn't ready", I told her."He will never be ready without you am i right? I'm sorry to say you would never let him move on from you", she said angrily."Listen to me Heidi. I'm speaking from the far end. I know there is absolutely no way I can be with him ever again. My child will probably never see his father. I'm doing everything for Dane so that he can live a happy and long life with someone that car

    "Listen don't call me back. It can be suspicious I will call you if there is something important", said Heidi."OK", I agreed with her. I knew she didn't want Dane to know that we have been talking and it is mainly about him."Listen I did everything you asked me to but he hadn't looked at me so far", said she."Are you sure about it?", I asked her."Yes. I'm sure. The only good thing that happened is that I got coffee sent my way", said she."I think our plan is working. The coffee didn't come it's own Heidi it must be sent by Dane. We have a coffee machine only Dane gets his coffee delivered", said I."Oh really? I didn't know but I'm so tired. I have never worked like this before", she admitted."You have to keep doing it", I told her."What? I can't do it. I'm already sore everywhere", she complained."It will be worth it when you have Dane", I said."OK", she said. But she didn't sound happy about it."I'm afraid that the plan has some issues", she said."Why?", I asked her."Wh

    It is never easy to make someone you love fall for someone else. I was going through that pain. I'm helping Heidi and so far she says the success was so little. I could understand what she felt. I went through that a long time ago. There was a time when I was head over heels in love with him but he didn't give me a second glance. He says he did but I doubt so. He was going to marry my sister. He says he planned for her to run away. But what if she didn't run? I would have lost him forever. I'm imagining that is what happened now. Dane and my sister were together now as it was supposed to be and no catastrophes happened. I was that catastrophe. They had to part because I came in between them. Now it is my job to make everything return to normal so that they could move on with their life."When are you going to visit the doctor?", asked Jasmine. She is the one who is staying with me while Charlie is out there hunting for her. Charlie is now the breadwinner of the family of three. She is

    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. It still hurts. I thought you were in love with me", he sa

    "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
