last update Last Updated: 2024-01-19 10:49:12

Knox parked his car and went up the elevator to his penthouse. His heart was restless as he waited to confront Danielle. Surely she would have reached home by now! The elevator doors opened, and he marched angrily toward his apartment. The door was already open, and he frowned. Why did Danielle keep the door open?

He entered to see Andrea pacing the foyer instead of Danielle. “Andy? What are you doing here? Where’s Danielle?”

Andrea stopped and gave him a look of despair. “Left. What else did you expect her to do after hearing about your engagement?” Knox gaped at his twin, too shocked to answer her. How did Danielle know about his engagement?

“Left? Are you sure? How did she know about it? I haven’t informed her.” He was now at his wit’s end. Did Danielle move on so fast? No, he had to stop her.

“Your precious Kendall visited her at her office to threaten her.” Knox stood, shocked, as he gaped at his twin. He hadn’t expected Kendall to stoop so low. Did Danielle inform her about

    Knox groaned at the sea of cars parked outside the mansion gates. How many people did Sean Davis invite? He didn’t want to be here amidst so many unknown guests. As if he was a puppet under their control. Parking his car, he gingerly went towards the main door. At that moment, he just wanted to escape the ordeal and go away with Danielle to a faraway place where no one could ever find him. The door flew open before he could press the doorbell. As if Kendall had been monitoring the surveillance cameras outside, waiting for his arrival. Well, anything was possible for the obsessed woman. Kendall stood at the door with her hands on her waist, clad in a sky-blue gown. “You’re thirty minutes late, Knox. I was about to go to your apartment to get you. Dad is furious!” She snickered at his choice of tuxedo and it gave Knox immense satisfaction.“I’m perfectly on time. It’s good to have everyone waiting for you.” He shrugged with a smirk as he brushed past her, leaving her seething with fu

Despite his threats, she was here, ready to celebrate her best friend’s engagement. “I’m here to stop the engagement. Why else?” Loretta’s jaws dropped with shock. What would he gain by breaking off Carter’s engagement? Was Carter his enemy, too? “Why would you do that? Is Carter your enemy?” “Yes. So I want you to help me!” Loretta grimaced at his commanding tone. Why would she help him? “No, I won’t. I was the one who helped Carter finally find his match. Now that he had, why would I stop them? You’re out of your mind, Mr. Cromwell.” “Oh, so you were the mediator? Did you force Danielle too into this engagement?” Loretta gaped at the furious man. What was he blabbering? “Danielle? Dani isn’t getting engaged.” She frowned at him in confusion. Knox stilled, gaping at her for a split second, absorbi

    “I think Grandpa’s right, Knox. Your life is a mess!” said Andrea, pitying him. “Have you thought about what you want to do with the baby when he’s born?” asked Zion, when Mrs. Hamilton came into the room with some refreshments. “When is the delivery?” she asked with concern. “Today or tomorrow at the most. Danielle is already admitted!” A gasp escaped Mrs. Hamilton’s mouth as she gaped at Knox. “Have you prepared a nursery for him? Do you plan to keep him with you at the penthouse? Have you looked for a nanny yet?” she rambled on in a state of panic while Knox stood frozen. He hadn’t done a thing apart from work and stalked Danielle for almost seven months! What a worthless dad he was! How would he take care of a newborn baby when he didn’t know what to do?“Nothing! I don’t know what to do now?” He looked at all of them helplessly. “Relax first. I’ll get your old nursery renovated. Why didn’t you inform me earlier?” said Mrs. Hamilton, bustling around the room. Knox followed he

Standing like a statue, he simply burned for her. Her face scrunched up in pain and she started wheezing. Knox panicked, leaning towards her to comfort her. He raised his arm to stroke her hair when she opened her eyes to look at him.A cry of horror escaped her mouth at the sight of him. “Go away! Please go away!” she groaned in agony. It attracted the nurse’s attention, and she rushed towards him to throw him out. “Please, sir, you need to leave. The patient is in pain. Your presence is scaring her!” Knox refused to budge, hurt by her reaction to him. Had she forgotten what they had shared? How could she forget him so easily? “But I’m the father of the child. I want to see my baby being born.” “No, please. Ask him to leave. I don’t want him here with me.” Danielle’s desperate scream echoed around the room and everyone turned t

    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
