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. I do not need a soothsayer to tell me that because anyone with common sense would not want to stay married to Mrs. Edwina, who is a bitter woman. She is not only resentful but also malevolent.

    Daniella POV As I was getting ready for work the next day, my father asked me to go to a business meeting with him and his son after work. I agreed since I had nothing better to do and it was preferable to having to lock myself in the room when I got home.Susan approached my table at work and posed a really interesting query to me.According to rumors, Daniella, you are Mr. Woods' illegitimate daughter. Are you related to him and his family?I grinned because it was clear that the public announcement of my existence would come soon. Dad and Adam must have told a few people, and those people must have told others, and they must have told the next person and those who came after them.Though not as quickly, news spreads via various channels, much like wildfire.Even though I did not want to support her theory, things took a different turn when Mr. Woods came out of his office, walked up to my table, and referred to me as his daughter.Everyone at their desks was shocked by the news;

    Dad joyfully thanked Adam and me for ensuring that the business deal was completed without incident when we were home for the family celebration. I did not do anything to deserve such praise, and when I tried to tell him the truth, Adam held my hand back and motioned for me to keep quiet.Grandmother came downstairs and gave me a strong hug after Dad told her what I had done or had not done. I mean, it was odd that she still gave me a hug to console me after all the things she had done to ruin my life. There is a problem!After going upstairs to my bedroom, I had to change out of my office attire into something more relaxed and breathable."Can I come in, Daniella?"Adam knocked at my door shortly after that.I let him into my bedroom and wondered why he had come.What is going on? "Has something occurred?"Based on the expression on his face, I felt compelled to inquire."No! I wanted to give you a present.He produced a chocolate candy bar by reaching into his pocket."I know you e

    Dad was heading to the office when we met at the door, so I returned home after that."Hey, did something like that happen?" Based on my expression, he made a judgment. Should I share what I saw with him? If I had opened my mouth and told him what I saw, it would have appeared to be a lie, but I tried to tell him about his wife's secret love."It did not happen. Enjoy your day at work." After saying that, I gave him a thumps up. With a smile, he climbed into the car and drove away from the mansion.Adam hurried outside the moment the car drove away.The fact that he was home when Dad had already left for the office astounded me."Daniella, good morning." He smiles pleasantly at me."Good morning, are not you supposed to be with Dad?" "I know, but I have got a good business date with a young lady," he said right away when I asked. He said in humility."A date for dinner?" I said, "Wait! Are you being forced to marry by your father? After taking my jacket, I put it on top of the couch.

    After I told Mrs. Edwina exactly what had happened, she became enraged and said she would talk to my dad about it, giving the impression that I was lying. When it comes to something as delicate as stealing a million dollars and using them for foolish things, why would I lie?..As it happened, Mrs. Edwina waited for my dad to return from work before bringing up the same subject.Dad said exactly what I had said, telling her that he had already given me permission and that she should not double check the accounts.My grandmother, Simon, and Mrs. Edwina might misinterpret and plot against me if I start dancing, even though I want to be happy."Hey! See you in my office, please.Dad told me this after speaking with Mrs. Edwina.I followed him because I was curious as to why he had asked to see me in the office."Did I do something wrong, Dad?" I quizzed him."No! As a matter of fact, dear... He smiled and said, "I need your help."I questioned him because I was not sure what he wanted.I

    When Adam learned about it, he came to talk to me. "Heard that he was not as attractive as you had hoped?" He expressed what his mother had said. She said it as if I had called Christian a nerd and nearly unlikable person."Your mother probably told you, do not you think?" Even though I knew the truth, I asked him.Adam was also polite enough to tell me the truth because he knew that I would still learn about it and that knowing the truth would not alter anything."Yes, I apologize for what transpired; kindly pardon my mother." On her behalf, he expressed regret. Although it should be her responsibility, it seems like an impossible task to watch Mrs. Edwina apologize to me.She has long harbored animosity toward me and will not stop until she seizes my possessions and banishes me from the family.My date was just as bad as Adam's.Despite the fact that his prospective fiancée was a lesbian, she still desired to wed Adam for the benefit of her family.

    The planning for Dad's birthday celebration was still in progress in the evening. Visitors were beginning to pull up in their big, fancy, and costly vehicles. Along with his big-mouthed mother, Christian was one of the visitors."Nice gathering, Daniella?" He wore his glasses back on his face even though he wanted to take them off."Thanks; you are welcome." I smiled and led them to their seats, as a good host should do.When we got to the table, his mother hissed at me; she did not like me, and neither did her son. There was nothing wrong with Christian; he was just too nerdy and seemed more like a mummy's boy than a real man."Has anything happened between you too?"Adam saw what had just happened and approached me."I am not sure, she does not like me. After all, I did reject her precious son?" I joked about how Christian had kept his eyeglasses. Adam laughed at my mischievous behavior and advised me not to encounter Mrs Sophia for the rest of the day.I agreed, and we each went

    When Dad told me to take Gena downstairs for breakfast the next day, I was a little taken aback to discover that she was still asleep in her bedroom. It was already half past eight in the morning, and everyone at home usually wakes up promptly before coming downstairs for breakfast."Gena, get up, it is breakfast time."I had to yell in her ear and give her two taps on the shoulder. Sarah helped get Gena out of bed, but she still was not awake, so I had to ask her for assistance.She finally woke up after much effort and joined the family downstairs for breakfast.It was clear that she should eat that for the sake of her unborn child because neither of us in the family liked vegetables, so Dad made sure there were enough fruits and vegetables on the table.Dad and I took Gena to the hospital for a checkup after breakfast. He requested that she be enrolled in weekly check-ups with the doctor until the baby was born.If anyone considers it, Mr. Woods is doing it for himself, so Gena wa

    Adam returned home from the office without his father, as he had a meeting to attend. When I inquired about my mother, Sara assisted me in carrying my bags into my bedroom. 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

    The next morning, I awoke to find Adam had left; however, he had left a shot not for me and then some breakfast in bed.I changed and went downstairs to the sitting room. 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... Following that, fire broke out and engulfed the entire area.I called for help,

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!" Assisting him, Gena said, "But, I wanted to talk to you for a long time." She gave me the finger to go after glancing at my face, so I did, letti

    I wanted to speak up, but I was unable to do so. Adam spiraled out of control as a result of the deception and deception. 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

    We discussed returning home once the contract was signed the following morning. Adam had already made up his mind, so at first I did not want to tell him the truth; I wanted us to stay back.Mrs. Grace interrupted them as they were about to conclude their business meeting with Mr. Lawrence. 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. I then went upstairs and bravely had to break up the argument between Mr. Lawrence and his wife."What do you mean? I am not sure I understand."Mr. Lawrence que

Although I was not sure if I would find anything there, the kitchen was bustling with staff members preparing meals and keeping the house clean."Good morning, ma'am."The maid, dressed in a black and white suit, came over to me. 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?" She tested my knowledge by offering me choices from the assortment of snacks, foods, and beverages found in the refrigerator and on the shelves."Perhaps I will have some freshly squeezed juice and cookies."
