Spark Of Love: Return With His Secret Child(Reckless Hearts) Chapter Fifty-Seven – Starting Afresh All Over Again
Carter wasn’t happy with her decision to move to San Francisco, yet Danielle didn’t stay. Loretta accompanied her to her aunt’s house in San Francisco. At first, Danielle was apprehensive about meeting her aunt, but once she settled down, she was glad she had taken the plunge. Loretta’s aunt, Sylvia Knightley, was a middle-aged divorced woman who lived all by herself in a penthouse. Being Granny Emma’s youngest, she was quite close to Loretta. “You can live in the studio apartment above the store. It belonged to my daughter, Suzanne. Ever since she got married and moved away, it’s been lying vacant.” Danielle smiled with gratitude at her employer. “Thank you, Ms. Knightley. When can I join work?” “Whenever you want.” After a while, Ms. Knightley took them to her boutique. There was a playpen for little children at the spacious two-storied upscale set-up. Danielle felt glad to have a place to keep Angel with her while she was at work. It would save her the trouble of looking for a

Four Years LaterDanielle looked up from her laptop to see Ms. Knightley rush into her office at the boutique. For the last few days, she had been too stressed to attend work. Granny Emma suffered a cardiac arrest and had to be admitted to the hospital. With Loretta with Granny in LA, Sylvia Knightley was constantly on the phone for an update.“Danielle, I am going to LA for a week. Mom’s condition has deteriorated. Can you handle everything in my absence?” Danielle nodded since she was used to looking into everything in her absence. “Yes, Ms. Knightley. I’ll handle everything.” In the last few years, an unmistakable bond of trust grew between the two of them. Sylvia Knightley trusted her blindly, and she had reason to. Danielle was the most dedicated and hardworking employee in the entire workforce. Therefore, the perks she received were the best in the industry. Danielle was thankful for everything. With her savings, she could soon buy an apartment for herself and Angel. With Ang

As the cab sped down the familiar neighborhoods towards Loretta’s house, Danielle’s heart swelled with happiness. This was where her heart was! This was where she wanted to live all her life! Tears sprang into her eyes as the memories came gushing back. “Mom, are you crying?” asked Angel with concern. “These are happy tears, sweetie. I’m glad to be here.”Angel looked out to see the special city her mom loved so much. “If you love it so much, can we live here? It will make you happy.” Danielle smiled at her reasoning. Sometimes the little girl’s sensitivity blew her mind away. “Let’s see!” Danielle diverted her attention to the sights along the route. After a few minutes, they stopped outside Loretta’s house. A wave of nostalgia hit her hard. This was her go-to place when all doors had closed for her. She had spent so many nights here relishing granny Emma’s delicacies. It was hard to believe she was no more. It seemed as if she would rush out anytime to embrace them. The door op

With every passing minute, Danielle’s heart raced more with apprehension. She developed cold feet at the last minute. Maybe this wasn’t a good idea at all. What if she met Knox instead of Zane? What if Knox snatched Angel away from her? Grandpa Vincent shouldn’t have taken Angel away without her permission. Maybe he knew it was the only way she would visit Cromwell Mansion. “Where do you live now? It’s been over six years since I last saw you.” Danielle focused her attention on Catherine. She didn’t look like the frail, shabby-dressed, sad old woman anymore. There was a dignified air about her, a warm glow on her face that expressed her happiness. At least someone was happy! “I’m living in San Francisco right now.” “Oh! Do you run your matrimonial business from there?” Danielle gave her a sad smile and shook her head. Didn’t she know about the damage Knox had done to her business? “No, I’m working as the General Manager with a lifestyle retailer having outlets all over the countr

Knox rushed out of the airport terminal, eager to get home. When his grandpa had called him last evening, he had been expecting complaints about Zane, but what he said just blew his mind away. He had to leave all work and board the first flight available to come home. He just hoped he wasn’t late. This time, he wouldn’t let Danielle get away with Angel! His Angel! He had never expected he would get to talk to her in this life. Yet he did! Flashback Fourteen Hours Ago“Hello, Knox! Are you busy?” Knox frowned on receiving a call from his grandpa out of the blue. Was Zane unwell? Was he giving his grandparents a hard time in his absence? He felt guilty for leaving him and coming to London, but the work was important and he couldn’t postpone it. “Yes, but you can tell me. Is something wrong, grandpa?” “No, I’m at Emma’s funeral. I wanted you to talk to..” Knox grunted in annoyance, interrupting his grandpa. “Please, Grandpa!” Surely his grandpa didn’t call him to force him to offer

Danielle’s heart ached to see the disappointed look on her daughter’s face. After her admission last evening, Danielle had been extremely annoyed with her for talking to Knox without her permission. Later, she realized it wasn’t Angel’s fault at all. It was natural to want to meet her father. Grandpa Vincent had just helped his great-granddaughter because he cared. So she couldn’t hold a grudge against anyone. Ever since, she waited for Knox every minute, although she knew he couldn’t come over soon. Angel, however, expected Zane to come over too, but Danielle had her doubts. If he came at all, it would only be with Knox. “Mom, why didn’t they come over to meet us? Don’t they know we’re leaving today?” “Maybe your dad couldn’t return.” Angel sulked all the time as they got ready to attend the reception organized by Granny Emma’s friends at Loretta’s house. Danielle and Angel planned to stay an hour before returning to pack up. It was almost ten o’clock in the morning when they le

Danielle was sure everyone could hear her heart hammer in her ribcage. His presence had caught them unawares. There was a bout of silence as Angel too gaped at the man who came in. Danielle slowly turned to look at the man she loved. It had been so long since she had seen him or heard his voice. Even after all these years, the sound of his voice took her breath away. She knew she shouldn’t feel the flutter in her stomach in his nearness. After all, he wasn’t hers anymore. Yet she did! Her eyes met with his whiskey-hued ones and time stood still for her. She gazed at him, drinking him in to last her a lifetime. All the memories flooded her brain at that moment, memories that left her dizzy with longing, hurt, numb, and sad! If only things were different. If only he loved her back! However, there was something amiss in his appearance this time. Not only had he reduced, but he looked haggard, his sunken eyes clearly telling her of the battles he had fought. Wasn’t he happy with Kendal

Knox frowned, totally taken aback by Danielle’s retort. Did she really think he had married Kendall? Didn’t she know he hadn’t? Before he could correct her, his phone buzzed with an incoming call from Andrea. They had reached home, and he stopped the car in the driveway before taking the call. “Can you come over right now? I have to take the twins to the doctor. Both have developed rashes and high fever!” “Oh! Hang on, I’ll be there right away.” He disconnected the call and looked at Danielle with an apologetic look on his face. He didn’t have any wish to leave them and go, but Andrea needed him more. She had gone through a lot in the last six years! He had to be there for her. “Please, make yourselves comfortable. I’ll join you right away.” Danielle pursed her lips and gave him a formal nod before alighted from the car. Knox helped Zane down and led him and Angel inside while Danielle marched towards Ms. Knightley’s car which had followed them all the way here with their luggage.

Spark Of Love: Return With His Secret Child(Reckless Hearts) Epilogue
Knox came out of his daze and gazed at her glistening, wet, and juicy folds with longing. He wanted to please her before pumping into her. Maybe that would excite her more. He wanted her to shed all her inhibitions and enjoy the moment. He parted her legs further and embedded his face into her feminine folds, making her gasp with pleasure. She was so fresh, innocent, and inexperienced. He loved the feeling of being the first man to touch her. She deserved so much better for saving herself for him, although he had been a jerk to her. “Oh! Oh!” She was breathing heavily as Knox plundered her sweet nectar, using his tongue to devour and suck her clean. “Like it?” He looked up to gaze at the sheer pleasure on her face. It was clear she was enjoying it. “Mm, don’t stop.” It was enough encouragement for him to continue, and he did so with a satisfied smile on his face. She moaned, tugging at his hair when his tongue hit the most sensitive spot. It felt heavenly! He used his tongue in lo
Spark Of Love: Return With His Secret Child(Reckless Hearts) Chapter Seventy-Six – Ignite The Spark
Danielle’s heart filled up with happiness while her throat choked with emotions. She hadn’t expected him to love her back after so many years, but he did. “You love me?” she whispered breathlessly, cupping his cheeks with both hands. Her eyes shimmered with tears and they spilled over! She just couldn’t believe her ears. She had accepted her unrequited love for so long; it had become a part and parcel of her life. How did this miracle happen? “Yes, Ellie! I love you more than you can think of. So much that it had become an obsession with me. I couldn’t see you with another man. It forced me to commit many blunders.” “It’s the same with me. I couldn’t see you with Kendall.”“I never kissed or spent time with her. I sort of ignored her all my life except for the few months when we were in a relationship during my college days! So you had nothing to worry about.” Danielle smiled and released his cheeks. “Neither have I kissed or done anything with any of the clients of Happy Matchma
Spark Of Love: Return With His Secret Child(Reckless Hearts) Chapter Seventy-Five – Greatest Gift Of All
Danielle’s heart melted at the effort the twins made for them. She hugged them close and Knox looked relieved. He had been expecting her to back out any minute. Instead, she thanked his family, Kathy, and the twins. “Why don’t you check if you need something more?” suggested Cathy. “For how many days are we staying there?”“A week!” chorused the twins, making her eyes go wide. “Oh, that’s too long. What about the office? How about the twins?” She gave Knox a helpless look, but he looked relaxed instead of getting worked up. How was he so relaxed? “Richardson will take care of your office.” “We’ll be fine, mom. We’ve grown up. Don’t worry about us,” said Zane with an eye roll. Yet Danielle worried almost all evening until bedtime. It was a mother’s nature to worry, and they left her alone. Although Knox wanted her to move into his room, he thought of waiting until the next day. Maybe he should take it slow as she had requested. It was the most arduous task, and he had to take a co

Knox’s eyes filled up with tears, yet he couldn’t say a single word to her. His heart felt lighter, as if a tremendous burden had been lifted! After so many years, for the first time, he felt guilt-free and relieved. Danielle closed the distance between them and snaked her arms around his neck. A staggering sigh escaped from his throat and he buried his face into her hair like before. “Thank you, Ellie! I was dying to hear that!” He sniffed, choking the tears away. “I’m sorry for hurting you, for pushing you away, for destroying you.” She raised his head, forcing him to look at her. “Shh, Knox! Don’t apologize ever again. I know you had your trust issues, yet you’ve changed yourself for me. You’ve given me more than you’ve taken from me. I’ve forgiven you with all my heart. Let’s move on now and see where our feelings lead us to, but I have one request for you.” His eyes sparkled with hope and something else. Danielle was too scared to believe in the love reflected in his eyes. Di
Spark Of Love: Return With His Secret Child(Reckless Hearts) Chapter Seventy-Three – Forgiving Him
Danielle stared at the beautiful platinum bracelet she had bought for Knox on his birthday. It had the letters D loves K with a pierced heart symbol in place of the word loves. She had it personalized for him and the result was quite satisfying. Although expensive, she didn’t wish to settle for anything else, using some of her savings to buy it for the man she loved. For the last few weeks, she had been dying to confess her feelings for him, but at the last minute, she developed cold feet. Therefore, this would be a perfect way to express her feelings for him. The door opened, and she quickly slipped the gift into her handbag. She looked up to see Knox entering the office. “What were you doing?” Danielle looked ill at ease. Did he see the gift? “Nothing much. I just wrapped up the work for the day. So, what do you want to do tomorrow?” She wanted to plan something for him on his special day, but no one at home cooperated with her idea of a dinner party. They only harped on one th

Knox closed his eyes, feeling her soft body molded against him. It healed the ache in his heart a little. He couldn’t stay away anymore. He hadn’t promised to not touch her if she did. Wrapping his arms around her, he embedded his face in her hair. “I missed you so much!” she whispered, causing his heart to skip a beat. “So have I, Ellie. You have no idea how much!” Danielle clung to him, unable to let go. This was what she had been longing to do for years. A throat cleared at the door, and Knox released her reluctantly. He glared at an uncomfortable Richardson, who wanted to vanish upon realizing what he interrupted. “Umm, sorry, sir. I have seen nothing! I’ll come back later.” Knox rolled his eyes while Danielle wanted to hide somewhere in embarrassment. “No need. Have the employees of Happy Matchmakers joined today?” Danielle gaped at him for a split second. Had he appointed employees too? “Yes sir. They’ve started working as well. The response is tremendous. We’ve got innum

The week flew by, settling Angel in her new school and helping her cope with the pending work. Thankfully, she was in the same section as Zane! It helped immensely.Knox had to leave for New York on a work trip and strangely Danielle too missed him, along with the kids. After the outing they went to last, Danielle had expected Knox to propose to her, yet he didn’t. In the evening, he left instead for an unknown period. She waited for him every day, but he didn’t call her or return home.“Yay, Dad’s coming home tomorrow!” announced Zane, making her heart skip a beat. She couldn’t wait until tomorrow. Yet she didn’t show her state. She was upset with him. Why couldn’t he call her once when he could call the twins and grandpa every day? “Yes. I had a word with him an hour ago. He’ll arrive home late in the night.” Danielle sighed and walked away to the kitchen. “Please, can I stay awake, G-Pa?” asked Angel. “Let’s see when he returns. You can stay awake until 11.” The next night they

Danielle didn’t get to savor another of Knox’s meals. The twins were getting impatient to see her, and she loaded everything into Knox’s car to go to Cromwell Mansion forever. She hadn’t considered it as forever. It was Knox who insisted he would keep her there with him forever! “Oh, I promised Angel a stuffed panda. Can we get it on the way?” “I promised them toys if they let me get you. So I guess we ought to buy those first to get an entry into the house.” They chuckled and Knox steered the car towards a shopping mall. It was the first time she went shopping with Knox and she had to agree it was a novel experience for her. Knox not only bought toys for the twins, he splurged on her as well, buying everything he fancied. Danielle gave up protesting when he turned a deaf ear to her rantings. “Gosh! It seems we’ve robbed a supermarket!” After the way he kept his promise and didn’t make a move towards her, Danielle relaxed a lot around him. The moment they entered the house, the t

Danielle’s heart skipped a beat at his explanation. All she could think was Knox was free. He wasn’t married as she had thought. So could she hope? “Oh! Why didn’t you tell me before?” Her cheeks flushed with color and she got up to clear the table. Her reaction bowled Knox over. “You didn’t ask me directly. Now you know I’m crazy about you, always was, and always will be! So, what have you thought about going home with me?” She nodded and went to the kitchen with her heart thumping wildly in her chest. She had never expected Knox to like her back! If he was so crazy about her, why did he hurt her? This was a question only Knox could answer. She couldn’t ask him now and disrupt the cordial relationship between them. She was tired of fighting with him. He followed her into the kitchen to help her. “So, is it a yes or no? Will you come home with me?” He hovered around her, staring at her with hooded eyes. She was acutely aware of his gaze wandering all over her. “Yes.” Knox couldn’t
