Arabella grabbed her bag strap tightly. The noise from her surroundings buzzed in her ears, but she could not hear anything. It was as if she was deaf. She took the elevator to the first floor in a daze and walked towards the hospital’s main entrance.

When she passed by the flower garden outside the hospital, she almost bumped into someone. The man’s handsome hand held her arm and stabilized her. His voice was filled with surprise. “Ara?”

Arabella looked up and saw John in an exquisite suit standing before her. His handsome face looked even clearer under the afterglow.

She quickly masked her loss of composure and calmed herself. Donning a smile, she asked, “What are you doing at the hospital?”

John stared at her with his dark eyes. “My dad is hospitalized. I’m here to see him.”

Arabella had met Zach Grant before but did not like remembering what she had learned about John’s family background.

John was not the son of Zach’s first wife. His birth mother was Nina Hess, Zach’s ex-lover. W

    Since he asked, she decided to say, “I’ve been a little tired from work recently. I want to take a few days off to rest.”“Tired from work?” Daniel looked up head from his documents. His eyes were dark. “Are you as tired as me?”Arabella was speechless because of him. If he did not want her to take leave, he should just say it directly. There was no need to beat around the bush.After leaving the president’s office, she sat back at her desk and looked at the numbers circled on the calendar. Her heart felt bitter.After the check-up that day, the hospital saw that her face was pale and her hand was trembling. They said, “If you don’t want it, you can make an appointment for an abortion.”She thought for a moment, conflicted and struggling. “Then… Next Wednesday.”The number she circled on the calendar was next Wednesday.Although she didn’t have morning sickness, she was afraid her colleagues would find out about it. Therefore, she didn’t go to the company’s cafeteria with her colleagu

    In terms of family background, the current Rivera family was not worth mentioning at all. On the other hand, the Bower family was thriving day by day. She was also the only daughter of Jack Bower. And soon, the Bower family would belong to her, which would make her the most likely woman to be worthy of Daniel.Daniel finished three cigarettes but Arabella was nowhere to be seen. He looked at his watch. It was already 8:30 pm. His furrowed brows showed his impatience.Linda already had a phone ready, Arabella’s number on display. The moment she saw Daniel take his phone out, she immediately dialed Arabella’s number.The call was connected and Arabella’s gentle voice came from the other end. “Miss Bower?”“Arabella, what are you doing?” asked Linda as she left the park.By the time Daniel dialed Arabella’s number, all he heard was the busy tone. He threw his unfinished cigarette butt on the ground in frustration and stomped on it to extinguish it. Then, he opened the car door and drove

    Daniel stood in front of the window with a cigarette between his fingers. Through the gap in the curtains, he looked at the secretary’s office outside. His deep and dark gaze was fixed on Arabella.In the morning, Caleb reported his schedule for the day and the results of the investigation. He also personally called the director of the hospital to confirm that Arabella was indeed pregnant. According to the timeline, the child was undoubtedly his.The first thought in his mind was that she had asked him to meet her at Chorley Park two days ago to tell him the news and then use the child to threaten him.However, the director told him that she had made an appointment for an abortion next Wednesday, so she did not intend to keep the child.If other women were pregnant with his child, they would definitely ask him to take responsibility or for a large sum of money. As for her, not only did she not tell him, she even wanted to get rid of it secretly.Even if she had a child, she did not wa

    As Arabella listened attentively, a hand was suddenly placed on her shoulder. She turned around in shock and looked at the person before her with eyes wide open in fear. She instinctively took a step back and she almost fell over into the flowerbed.Simon reached out to support her, then looked at the two people talking. With a fake smile, he said, “Ms. Arabella, it’s not good to peep and eavesdrop on others.”Arabella balanced herself and pushed his hand away from her arm. Her palm was wet, but she calmly said, “I just happened to pass by. And I don’t have time to peep for a hobby.”Simon had been behind her the whole time, so he knew how much she had heard. He smiled evilly as he looked at her pretty face. “I used to think you would become my sister-in-law. Unfortunately, John married someone else. Why don’t you be with me instead?”His hand had found its way to her cheek, caressing it. Arabella immediately pushed his hand away as her watery eyes turned cold. “My mother is still wai

    Every time she ate Mrs. Watson’s chestnut chicken, she would sigh emotionally. Back then, she had asked, “Mrs. Watson, your cooking has improved again. Why aren’t you our chef? This way, I can eat your chestnut chicken every day.”Although Mrs. Watson was already old, she was still young at heart. She had long known that Arabella’s relationship with John was not ordinary.Mrs. Watson smiled and said, “When you marry Third Young Master in the future, I’ll cook for you every day, as long as you don’t get tired of it.”Arabella’s eyes lit up when she heard that. Then, she hugged John’s arm and coyly said, “John, let’s get married after I graduate from university.”John had a gentle smile on his face as he caressed her hair. “Judging from your tone, it seems you’d rather not wait until then.”She pouted and glared at him with clear and bright eyes. “You have to marry me anyway.”The smile in John’s eyes deepened. “If it weren’t for the fact that you’re not old enough, I would have registe

    Without waiting for him to finish, Daniel coldly said, “Don’t tell me there will be a next time.”After he finished speaking, he pulled Arabella towards his car, opened the door, and shoved her in. He walked around the front of the car and sat in the driver’s seat. With a glance at her pale face, he said, “Seat belt.”Arabella immediately came to her senses and fastened her seatbelt mechanically. “How did you…”Daniel started the engine, fixing his gaze on the road ahead. With a hint of suppressed anger in his usually warm voice. “Where was he taking you?”What happened earlier on the road was extremely dangerous. The fear still lingered in Arabella’s heart but her heartbeat had managed to slow down a little. “I’m just… I just overheard their conversation. He probably wanted to shut me up.”Daniel did not continue asking as if he was not interested in the ‘conversation’ she was talking about.Arabella could not figure out why he was angry. After a while, she felt the cold aura on his

    As she spoke, she looked at Joseph Lopez, who was playing cards. Her clear eyes were filled with tenderness and warmth while her eyes were filled with love for her husband.Arabella’s gaze followed her line of sight but it swept past Joseph Lopez and landed on Daniel instead.He was sitting facing her and he had taken off his suit jacket as soon as he entered the room. Now, he wore a white shirt with his sleeves rolled up. The light shining on his cold face accentuated his features to make him look even more handsome and elegant.She did not know how to face him after the surgery the day after tomorrow. Should she resign?Arabella must have been so focused on her thoughts that Daniel sensed something and looked up at her. When their eyes met, she immediately recollected her thoughts. Arabella quickly picked up the fruit juice on the table and took a small sip to hide her embarrassment.Daniel returned his focus to the card game. The man sitting opposite him took out a lighter and was

    Arabella walked out of the hospital with Caleb, feeling uneasy. When she saw the black Maybach parked by the roadside, her heart started to beat wildly.Even though she couldn’t see inside, she could feel the man in the car staring at her with a pair of dark eyes.Caleb opened the back door for her. She took a deep breath and bent down to get in.Daniel saw her unflinching expression and frowned in displeasure.Sensing the tense atmosphere in the car, Arabella tightened her grip on her bag. Without waiting for him to question her, she spoke first. “I forgot to take my medicine at South Bay, but I’ve already made an appointment for surgery today, so you don’t have to-”“Keep the baby.” A low and warm voice rang out in the car, interrupting her.Arabella looked at him in shock. For a moment, she thought that she had either heard wrongly or misheard him. “What?” asked Arabella, still in shock.Daniel repeated what he said earlier. “Keep the child.”The impact was too great for her to rea

    “Yeah, it was quite entertaining,” said Jack, stretching out his hand, with two 500 bank notes that Daniel had earned with ten minutes of work.He had to walk up to Jack to pull them out of his hand, which was the pinnacle of this experience. “Did you pull up here just for this?” he groaned and pushed the money into his pocket.“No, I still want my car washed,” said Jack, putting his hands into his pockets, on both sides of the bulge in his pants. He smelled of arousal, and all of a sudden, handsome Daniel could tell.“Sure, why not. Why not watch how badly I did, huh?” Daniel walked back to the buckets, trying to ignore the burning shame. “‘Look at me, I used to be the school loser and now I’ve got a Jag’,” he muttered and dipped the large sponge in the soapy water.Jack sighed. “You must really hate it, don’t you?”Daniel’s pulse sped up, and he could feel the vein bulging out on his neck. Even the orgasm he’d just had couldn’t soothe his nerves when Jack rubbed his success into Dan

    Jack Ramirez POV “Daniel Garcia, am I right? The basketball star?”Daniel gave him a crooked smile. Daniel Garcia, the basketball star. That did sound nice. Too bad it wasn’t school anymore, and you couldn’t live off being a mediocre basketball player. He’d been good in school, just not good enough for a scholarship.But Daniel had to focus on the problem at hand. He couldn’t link those tantalizing eyes to a name at all. “Yeah, long time ago,” he said and held out his hand to the guy, hoping the driver would save him from his misery and introduce himself. He didn’t even take the hand Daniel Garcia offered.“Do you know who I am?” he asked with a small smile.Daniel crooked his head to the side and rubbed his hand against his sweaty stomach as if he’d never held it out. This was getting truly annoying. “Not really, no.” He shrugged, trying to keep his cool even though goosebumps of shame were crawling up his back. A motherfucker he was supposed to know from school pulled up in a sport

    Daniel Garcia POVThe heat made Daniel Garcia boil in his uniform, so even though his boss had told him not to, he pushed the top of his coveralls down to his hips. Daniel was pretty sure the old pig was just jealous that his employee looked so much hotter than him. Not to mention both Manny’s wife and their daughter, Kiara Ramos, were making eyes at Daniel Garcia, which couldn’t be going down all that well with the guy. Manny Ramos probably only kept Daniel on because he couldn’t find anyone else who’d do the job for the slave wages he was willing to offer and live in the ancient motel by the gas station as well.Daniel carried a crate of beer into the small convenience store where Manny Ramos sat behind the counter, sweating, farting, watching TV, and fanning himself with a newspaper. Without a word, Daniel made his way toward the fridge to stack it full of beer. When he left home three years ago, he never thought he’d end up working at a shabby gas station in a deserted place, in a

    Xander Reyes POVXander looked at this Daniel, so gorgeous, pretty, hard, and needy. It was one of the easiest assignments he’d ever had. His bright hazel eyes were heavy with lust, and then sooty black lashes swept Daniel's face as he shut his eyes tight. Xander didn’t kiss on jobs like this, ever, nor did any of his clients ever get to know his real name. But right now, seeing Daniel’s lips parted in a moan, his name repeated over and over, it was all he could do not to bite down on Daniel’s plump lower lip and then lick his way into that appealing open mouth. Groaning, he pulled himself back, he needed to get his head back in the game, and he wasn’t going to expose his vulnerability like that. He focused back on what he was doing, turning Daniel into a pile of sobbing need in his arms. "Want to suck me?" Xander asked, low and insistent. "Want me to force you to your knees, and make you suck me until I come all over your skin, rub it in… make you beg for me?"Xander felt Daniel push

  • THE DARK SECRETS OF MAFIA DON   Chapter 179 Daniel Garcia's Dark Past

    Daniel Garcia Past LifeDaniel Garcia lived his own life far from his brother after they separated from their parents. He tried so damn hard to be a good straight husband. The life he chose meant so much to him. He experienced the ultimate sin which made him aware of the remnants of his past. Together with his brother, he approached the only sparkling desire that he thought to be the answer to his dream. Daniel wanted a family of his own, but, fate was unkind to him.It may have been the alcohol or the high of knowing tomorrow he’d be closer to changing his life, but tonight, worse the wear for the beers he had downed in quick succession on an empty stomach, meant that for once, he wanted to be himself. So he stood here, in a gay bar on what the cab driver said was the wrong side of town. The bar had shadowed corners and the smell of sex in the air—he watched.He watched the man at the bar; saw him leaning back, veiled eyes scanning the heaving late-night crowd. He stood in sinfully

    Arabella put her cutlery down too and indifferently said, “He just doesn’t want to see me. So no matter how much you cook, you won’t persuade him otherwise.”‘Didn’t you say that you didn’t want to see me? Why did you come back then?’She remembered every single word he said yesterday which lingered like thorns in her heart.Daniel’s expression turned colder when he heard her words. He walked away to pick up the car keys on the coffee table and grabbed his coat at the entrance.He must have used too much force because the hanger shook twice and almost fell to the ground.Daniel walked out and not long after, the sound of a car engine came from outside.Mrs. Winstead walked to the living room and saw Daniel driving away. She returned to the dining room with a gloomy expression. “Young Madam…”After Daniel left, Arabella lost her appetite so she stood up and walked towards the stairs.Mrs. Winstead looked on and sighed heavily.

    He got up and walked towards the stairs. She followed closely behind him and the two headed up to the second floor one after another. When they reached the bedroom door, Daniel did not stop, continuing to walk towards the study room.Arabella grabbed his sleeve again and Daniel stopped in his tracks. He turned around to look at her expressionlessly.“What are you angry about?” She looked up and met his dark eyes.He looked back at her innocent eyes and the words that he wanted to ask became stuck in his throat. “Nothing,” said he calmly.“How can it be ‘nothing’? You haven’t been home for half a month.” Afraid he would shake her off, she tightened her grip on his sleeve which started to wrinkle.“It was a business trip,” said he curtly.“What about before the business trip? Furthermore, Caleb told me that it has been a few days since you returned from your business trip.”Well, the part about Caleb telling her so was a lie. But she felt no guilt implicating Daniel’s assistant since Ca

    Arabella had been waiting in the parking lot of Zephyr Group since 4 p.m.Afraid that she would be seen by her colleagues, she chose to hide in an inconspicuous corner while keeping her eyes on Daniel’s car.One hour, two hours, three hours passed, but Daniel still did not appear.The sky gradually darkened and the lights in the parking lot were a little dim, making the place gloomy and cold.She wrapped her coat tightly around her body and crouched as if to curl herself into a ball. Since she stayed in that position for quite some time, her legs started to feel a little numb. She decided to stand and walk a few steps to return blood flow to her legs. After stretching for a while, she resumed her crouched position.With the night approaching, the cold in the dim parking lot grew heavier – Arabella started to shiver. She wanted to go home in a huff, but she was also unwilling to do so without having confronted Daniel.What right did he have to treat her like this?Even if he was angry,

    When it was the day of the pregnancy checkup, Daniel had not returned from the business trip. She was already expecting to go to the hospital alone only to find someone else in the living room when she came downstairs.“Why are you here?” She looked at Francesca in surprise.“Young Madam, President Garcia asked me to accompany you to the hospital,” said Francesca gently.It seemed that he still remembered the date. Arabella nodded. “Let’s go.”Mrs. Winstead noticed how thin the clothes Arabella was wearing so the former handed the latter a red coat on the hanger at the entrance.How could Arabella refuse Mrs. Winstead’s kind intentions? The former took off her jacket and put on the coat. Then, Arabella grabbed her bag and left the living room with Francesca following behind her.Because Francesca had made an appointment in advance, they went straight to the hospital for the checkup.
