last update Last Updated: 2024-02-06 02:08:54

Loretta glared at Knox, who approached her menacingly. As if he liked Danielle! If he did, he wouldn’t have destroyed her business!

“No, he doesn’t like Danielle. You don’t abuse the one you like. Knox has been abusing my friend, taking advantage of her innocence since the day he met her. He has physically abused her, impregnated her, and kept her forcefully with him. That was a crime. He ignored her condition and got engaged to another woman. That was another crime! But he didn’t stop at that!” Before she could utter another word, Knox grabbed her arm and dragged her to the main door.

“That’s enough. Get out before I forget you’re a woman.”

“Stop it, Knox. I’m talking to her,” scolded Andrea.

Loretta yanked her arm free of his hold. “He plotted and planned to send me and granny to Florida. It weakened Danielle, leaving her alone here to cope with her condition and him!”

“Oh! I don’t believe this!” said Andrea, turning towards her twin.

Loretta laughed while Knox glared at the two

    Knox drove over to Danielle’s apartment in a fit of rage. How could she just ignore him? Maybe she was still living with Davidoff. However, instead of Blade and his car, he saw Loretta outside her building. She gave him a distressed look before turning to stare at Danielle’s building with despair. Knox parked his car and strode towards her, a sense of dread clutching at his heart now. Something was seriously wrong with her! He could sense it. Loretta had left much ahead of him. Had she been standing here in front of Danielle’s building all this while?“Why are you here alone? Where’s Danielle?” Loretta gave him a desperate look, tears filling up her eyes at the same time. “She has left without informing me, Knox!” The tears spilled from her eyes and streamed down her cheeks as she tried to calm herself. Knox stood frozen, his mind in a state of shock. He couldn’t register what was going on. Where could Danielle go? “Left? She has just been discharged from the hospital. I’m sure Da

    Andrea sat at her twin’s bedside, watching him with tears in her eyes. The last twenty-four hours had been crucial for him as he struggled to survive. When she admitted him to Bellevue Hospital nearby, he was diagnosed with a severe case of alcohol intoxication, along with cuts and wounds on his body. In the last twenty-four hours, he underwent alcohol detoxification, rest, and heavy doses of intravenous fluid, while Andrea went through the worst trauma of her life. With Mrs. Hamilton at home looking after Zane, she had to manage everything single-handedly. Knox opened his bleary eyes at last and looked at his twin. He hadn’t expected to live after the drunken mishap. He smiled with relief at seeing his twin. “What were you thinking, Knox? You could have spoken to me before thinking of ending your life.” Knox didn’t mind her scolding. She had the right to be angry with him. “I wasn’t in my senses. Thanks for saving me.” He looked so drained off that Andrea’s heart melted at his apo

    “I had to come over to remind you I exist, Knox!” Kendall stormed into the house in a fit of rage. After being ignored for weeks, she now wanted to confront Knox. “Please stop creating a scene in my house, Kendall. I’m sure we can sort out our differences later.” Knox followed her inside with a scowl. He had just returned home from Detroit and had no wish to face Kendall now. His grandpa and Catherine gave the duo wary looks, but it wasn’t easy to avoid Kendall. She whirled around to face her fiancé. “When Knox? When will you have time for me?” Knox clenched his teeth and fisted his hands with disgust. “I’m a busy man. You should have known that when you forced me into this relationship. I don’t love you and never will. I’m only with you for my company shares. So cut the crap and stop stalking me around.” Kendall gaped at him, her eyes reflecting the hurt she felt in her heart. They glistened with tears, ready to spill, but they did not affect him.“Is that all you can say to me?

    The next day, Knox left for Frankfurt more to escape from reality than work. Yet he didn’t find the peace of mind he was looking for. Adam Smith was well and had left for Fiji to locate Danielle’s whereabouts. Ever since, Knox had been restless, waiting for a positive response from him. He would rush to Fiji and bring Danielle back. He waited for a week, but there was no response from Adam Smith. Knox returned to LA more depressed than before. Kendall hadn’t contacted him after that fateful night, and he was glad. “Good that you returned, Knox. I’m meeting Sean tomorrow,” said his grandpa. Knox’s interest was piqued, and he sat down with his grandpa to discuss their course of action. “That’s good news. So how will we tackle his threats? I’m sure he’ll have a foolproof strategy to blackmail me. I think he wants me to marry Kendall and look after his business, too.” Vincent Cromwell waved him off. He was well-prepared. “We’ll counterattack. My lawyer, Mr. Foxboro, will accompany us.

    Danielle checked upon Angel for the umpteenth time before going to the travel agency farther down the street for a job interview. Ever since Blade had brought her here to Damien’s parents’ house in North Essendon, Melbourne, she had been looking for a job to sustain herself.The Longmont family was friendly and rented out a tiny wing of their home to her. They even offered to look after Angel in her absence, but Danielle preferred working from home. It would solve all her problems. “I’m here in case she wakes up, Dani. Why don’t you wrap up the interview?” said Damien’s mom, Sarah Longmont. Danielle felt indebted to them for everything they were doing for her. Damien and Sydney lived nearby and walked down to check up on her frequently. With Blade leaving the next day, Danielle was apprehensive about living with strangers, but now she was glad she had come here. Strangers were much better than her loved ones! “Thank you, Sarah. I’ll be back before she wakes up.” She hurried down the

    Danielle felt much better after a week’s rest. She worked part-time for the entire week, refusing to give up the job she worked so hard for. Her productivity satisfied Mr. Everton, even though she put in fewer hours. Blade and his wife, Justine, came over to meet her before heading to LA. “I was so jealous of you when I met him first. I thought you were his wife!” said Justine with a chuckle. “Oh, and you thought a married man was chasing you?” Justine nodded at Danielle and they all chuckled. “So that was why you were running a mile from me!” They chuckled more. Danielle connected to Justine instantly, just like she had with Blade. “Why didn’t you clarify with me instead of escaping me?” “How could I? I feared you. My mom warned me against the likes of you before I joined the hotel job.” Blade rolled his eyes at her. “Likes of me? Hey! I’m such a lovable guy!” They chuckled even more. “You seemed like the rich, spoiled, arrogant billionaire types who think no end of themselves

    Knox stormed into his office in a fit of rage. Nothing was going right for him. Despite completing the legal formalities with Sean Davis, he hadn’t transferred the shares yet. Knox considered waiting a day more before sending him a legal reminder. After the formal breakoff with Kendall, she had been maligning his name in public, blaming him for causing a rift in their relationship. Knox had reached his limit. Maybe it was time to address the issue now.At home too, the scenario was frustrating. Zane was admitted to the hospital for rashes and diarrhea, and they were at their wit’s end with worry. His condition made Knox consider contacting Blade for Danielle’s number. He knew she might have changed her number to keep him at bay. Adam Smith had returned from Fiji after not finding Danielle there. He had updated Knox about Blade’s return to the city. His phone buzzed with an incoming call from his grandpa. He accepted it instantly as a sense of dread washed over him. Was Zane alright?

    A Year LaterDanielle kissed Angel’s forehead and smiled at her little girl. “Enjoy yourself, sweetie! I’ll pick you up after work.” Angel clung to her, not willing to let go, although she knew she had to. It was an everyday affair since the time they had to move out of the Longmont house. Three months ago, Dean Longmont suffered a brain stroke and his wife had to appoint a full-time nurse to take care of him. With Damien and his family moving in to take care of them, Danielle had to move out. She felt she was taking advantage of their kindness. Her employer recommended a studio apartment that was available in his building for rent. Danielle moved in and admitted Angel to the day-care center on the ground floor. It was convenient for her and she could work without having to worry about Angel. It was true she couldn’t save much with the increase in expenses, but there was no other way. She would think about it when Angel was old enough to go to school. Despite moving out, she kept in

    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

    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

    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

    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
