After hearing them argue, I opened the door and stepped outside.

Jonathan was surprised to find me down again when I should have been in my bedroom.

"Daniela, what happened?" Jonathan looked at my expression and asked..

"There is nothing." I opened his vehicle door and took out my phone.

Looking at the phone in my hand, he turns to Samuel, and they both smile as they once again face me.

"Good night". I spoke to both of them before leaving.

The next day, I came down the stairs, and Mrs Edwina was just leaving the kitchen, but when our eyes met, she stopped and then asked, "So, Daniella, how was your date with Jonathan?" Does she genuinely want to know how it went, or is there another reason, and should I be concerned? "It was good, thanks for asking." I responded with a smile.

"Alright, but do you like him?" She asked me after placing the bowl of soup on the table.

" Do you like him? "We literally just met." I clarified, but she was unwilling to accept no as an answer.

    It was not until Adam entered the room after Mr. Woods left my hospital room abruptly. He brought flowers and also some chocolates. Despite my doctor's orders that I should not have chocolate, it was too tempting to resist."Daniella, how are you feeling? You scared us a lot." He said after giving me the chocolate in my hand.."Yes, my blood pressure increased, but I am not sure what happened." When I opened the chocolate box, I nibbled on the first roll."Hmm! He pulled his chair closer and sat next to my bed, saying, "I see." When his parents came back, we were still chatting. Mr. Woods was surprised to see his son at my side, as he should have been at the office taking care of things while he was away.Should not you be at the office, son?His wife was standing irate at the door when he left.Adam responded to his father's question even though he could see his mother's face. He mentioned that he thought about getting me some chocolate and flowers because there was nothing else to d

    Have you gone insane?I listened with my ears leaned at the door as Mrs. Edwina yelled those words to her husband."What did I do, Mad?"Unaware of his transgression, he asked her.Really? You have been giving Daniella, the girl, gifts." Since I was undoubtedly nobody when I moved into their home and began living with them, I was not offended when she called me the nobody I am."Stop! I refuse to sit here and listen to you call Daniella a nobody! Why?She said something that offended Mr. Woods.Additionally, he requested that she leave his office because he was unwilling to carry on the conversation with her; however, Mr. Edwina was far from finished."Go, I will not go when you are obviously preoccupied with that girl."She had spoken to me in the same manner the last time.Why should not I? When Daniella is my daughter and I could not even tell her about it because of you!?"Because she could not tell me that he was my father, he blamed her.My heart started racing so quickly that

    Mrs. Edwina wanted her husband to yell, or perhaps she wanted to use the small arguments from last night as a pretext to kick me out of the house. Mr. Woods overheard them.When Mr. Woods tried to hit me when I had not done anything wrong, he yelled at her instead, which was rather unfortunate for her. I quote him when he says, "Daniella only defended herself; this is not her fault."Mr. Edwina became irritable throughout the day, to the point where even the slightest error led to a major misunderstanding and punishment.The maids accused me, at least, of being the cause of her behavior, but it was not all of them; only some of them did it."Now that school is over, Daniella, would you like to pursue a master's degree to further your excellent studies?"Then.Everyone may believe that Mr. Woods wanted the best for me, but what did I think of his desire for me to leave right away for my master's degree? Even though the truth was obvious—that it was because of his wife—he refused to ac

    The following day, Edwina came outside as I was getting ready for my morning jog with Grandma. She was also getting dressed for the workout, so I did not need anyone else to tell me that she wanted to join us."Where is Grandma?"She inquired when she noticed me leaning against the car door."I do not know, she might still be sleeping in her room upstairs." I sarcastically responded to her...Luckily, it did not hit a nerve the way I wanted it to. After twenty more minutes of waiting, Grandma decided it would be prudent to envelop us in her presence."Good morning. Shall we, my lovely ladies?"She smiled at Mrs. Edwina and me while wearing a timer on her running outfit.Regarding this, I do not feel good.Nevertheless, I swallowed my fears and set out on the adventure with her and her daughter-in-law.I called my mom's friend, aunt Anita, a couple times without them knowing.

    I did not realize that the man who provided me with clothing, a job, and a place to stay was actually my father, which is why Simon felt that I had come to take away his father's inheritance. Unexpected events led to the news, and I had to learn about it from a friend of my mother's."Calm down, I have nothing to repay you." I reassured Simon that whatever he was thinking was only a fantasy and that he should not stress over trying to avoid our father's selection.After taking my word for it, Simon walked out of my room.I just hope that Mr. Woods is not dying anytime soon because he might not want to say anything more and, believe me, problems like this take time to resolve.Several hours later, Sara invited me to join the family for dinner, so I had to come.Sitting in my chair, listening to Grandma's constant gossip about a young woman who had recently lost her husband—she was Mrs. Edwina's agemate—almost made me want to turn the tables and hurl a curse at her.Hello!

    For something I did not do, why should I bear the blame? A couple of hours later, I had to talk to my dad. He was in his office, and when I arrived, he was clearly happy."I am sorry, Daniella. I want to apologize for what happened."When he began discussing the events of the previous hours, I was not permitted to speak."That is all right," "But, do you really want to divorce Mrs. Edwina?" I asked, grabbing the chair at his table and taking a seat. I questioned him about what had led me to his office.He becomes somewhat silent, and as I was trying to avoid discussing the matter, he resumed and then informed me of his decision to file for divorce from his wife.For a long time, Dad has been unhappy in his marriage to Mrs. Edwina, and he vowed that it was not because of me.

She informed me that my mother had also gone to a meeting; perhaps there were any plans between her and my father.I changed out of my work clothes and went upstairs to Gena's bedroom. She was on the phone, talking to someone and begging for more time to fulfill her end of the bargain; it appeared that she owed someone money and had yet to fulfill her end of the bargain."I promise that I will make it happen."She had promised the man on the phone.What do you intend to accomplish? I told her as I grabbed my phone and properly leaned my ear against the door, only to accidentally open it and expose myself to her."Daniela, what are you doing here?" She was stunned when she saw me." Oh! "I came to see you and your baby." I approached Amber and lifted her up in my arms. I placed her head on my shoulder, washed her cu

I arrived just in time because Simon was telling our father about his decision to finally marry Gena and raise their daughter together." Son, "Are you certain!" He asked him after Simon had finished explaining his plans.After all, we all knew him as someone who did not follow through on plans."Yes, Dad, I love Gena." He not only said it, but also demonstrated his love for her.Dad had to agree to his demands because he was serious and was taking responsibility for the first time. He instructed Simon to prepare for his engagement, which would take place next week, and the wedding three weeks later." Congratulations." Adam congratulated his brother, and I did the same before heading straight to the kitchen for a glass of water. Sara arrived a few minutes later, and she did not look very good." Hey!

    After Mom finished threatening Mrs Hope, we returned and talked for almost the entire day; she wanted to know everything about me, and as I began to tell her the truth, she smiled and asked me a very sensitive question."Is there a man in your life?" She questioned me."A man, no, I don't," I laughed, and when Adam entered the living room, my face turned nervous.Mom noticed and began to capitalize on it." Hey! Do you think Adam is attractive?" She recognized it from the nervous expression on my face."Do I like Adam?" "I do not understand." I laughed again, and I felt just as nervous as the previous time."Do not lie to me; is there anything I should know?" She kept asking me questions..." No? There is nothing". I confessed and happily walked into the kitchen, where Adam was attempting to retrieve a glass of water from the refrigerator." Oh! Good day to you, my dear". After getting the glass of water, he turned and spoke to me. I immediately remembered my mother's question, and it

Do you want anything?" She moved closer and closed the refrigerator door..."I require a chilled glass of water." I told her, and she explained that the water in the cellar refrigerator would be more chilled, and I would need it.I needed to go down there and take it. I reached the cellar and opened the door, looking around before entering.I examined the refrigerator and then took out two bottles of very chilled water. I closed it again, and just as I was about to leave, I spilled a small amount of water on the naked wires behind the refrigerator, and everything sparked...

I talked to her and told her the truth in no uncertain terms."She keeps saying she wants to talk to you, but no." My question was answered by him."Why?" Even though I was reluctant to leave, I did so. Edwina was brought to the interrogation room to meet me after being removed from the cell."You came to see your beloved wife, aww."After they took off the handcuffs that were hurting her wrist, she made fun of me and laughed obnoxiously."We must speak, Edwina."To get her to move to the chair across from me, I asked the guard in

    The next day, I managed to get Simon to come to the coffee shop. Even though our dad had a decent business idea, it was not worth investing in, so after hours of begging, I had to promise to talk to him about it.How about this? I was unable to tell him the truth because Gena wanted to talk to him about something significant."What is brought us here, Daniella?"...At his request, we came to a halt in front of the coffee shop."I am not sure. Would you like some coffee?"I touched my shoulder with one hand.Applying some weight to it.Simon opened his mouth to denounce the coffee shop as soon as he saw it."Hey! Be honest with me.Gena entered just as I was ready to settle into one of the coffee chairs.He nearly hit the floor, and his eyes grew far away."Oh my god, I believed you had passed away."He supported himself with the table."No!"

He was on the verge of confronting his mother and, more importantly, his brother; however, Grandmother intervened and begged me to simply return him to the room without telling him anything more.I tried to reassure Adam about what had happened between him and his brother by taking him to his bedroom."Hey! It is unbelievable that my mother and brother could do that.He angrily threw one of the pillows near him behind his back after grabbing it. I could tell that whatever his mother and brother had done had upset him so much that he would constantly discuss the problems."Slow down and stop thinking about it."I put one hand on his head and the other on his shoulder. With a smile, he placed his hand on my lap and touched my skin, causing the hair on my legs to stand up.Daniella, I would like to ask you a question.Suddenly, his expression changed...It got serious

She wanted her husband to assist her with something significant in the room, but based on her facial expression, it did not seem like they were going to discuss anything."Hey! Do you not think that something is amiss? Adam asked me because he had begun to suspect Mr. Lawrence and his spouse.Anyone in his position would be interested in learning more about what is going on, but him? will stop at nothing to conclude the meeting and sign the contract.I simply left him sitting in the living room by himself without answering his question.

Her kind smile and tolerant manner made me want to stand back and watch her help me every day.Can you give me something to eat? I questioned her."Sure, what would you like to have?"
