Walking toward the office room in hurry, Zeke breathed out heavily controlling himself. He quickly opened the dark room door in his office room.He saw a figure sitting on the corner. Danica immediately stood up, looking down. She was too hurt to say anything to him."“Do you still want to visit your sister Dian?” Zeke asked. Danica looked aside, not wanting to get mad at him.“Answer me.” He ask in a serious tone despite the fact that he was slightly drunk, "I don't want peopleto think my wife is a cowardly women who can noteven look people in the eye." He spat harshly while Danica slowly looked up meeting his eyes making him burn in rage even more.“Yes I do. But I will not bother you anymore with what I want. I deeply apologize that I had asked you for something you did not want.” Danica answer, trying to sound strong but ended up sounding so fragile and broken.Zeke clenched his jaw seeing how she still wants to meet them, “Good. Because you aren't meeting them or anyone. W
“Come here.” Zeke said softly while Danica stood in front of him in his office room.Danica walked to him slowly. She stood in front of him, he gently pulled her down to sit on his lap. Though it wasn't new to her. She had gotten used to it.Though she always took it as his pity.“Did you have your lunch?” Zeke questioned her with a soft yet deep voice. Danica nodded her head in response.“Yes. I did.” She answered, her voice hoarse making Zeke sighed. He looked away for a millisecond before looking at her once again.“I am sorry for what I ha-” He tried apologizing but Danica just shook her head immediately in response.“It's not your fault. Don't apologize. I should have been careful.” She spoke faintly. Zeke once again sighed softly knowing its of no use.“I’ll promise I will make everything right. Just trust me for the last time please.” He said caressing her hand that he had held softly in his rough ones.Danica nodded her head making Zeke to caress her cheeks. He looked at her
"Useless.” Danica heard her brother say for the last time as she walked toward the window to close it.After locking the door, she sat down on the bed letting her tears flow down her eyes. The one she held back since morning.DANICA POVIt's just the same. Always. Why does it have to be like this? I probably am not needed. Isn't this why they say such things to me? My family.Well are they my family? I could call them family before, but not now. Not anymore. I'm just a guest here. I feel so pathetic and worthless. I quickly wiped my tears as I heard footsteps and sat straight on the bed. When I heard knocks on the door, I opened it."Come and eat." I heard my mom say as l looked up at her and smiled."I'm not hungry." I smiled at her and told her that I wasn't hungry, but she didn't seem to care. After rolling her eyes, she shut the door. I burst into tears once again seeing how nobody really cares.This is what my life has been like ever since I was a kid. My mother loved my b
Quietly sitting on the back seat like an obedient child, she looked out of the window. Zeke sat beside her as he quietly observed her nervous and scared state.Obviously, he was aware that she was scared of him, but that didn't trouble his heart. He was okay with his wife fearing him. Soon enough they reached the house as Danica got out of the car and walked behind Zeke as she silently followed him inside. She was scared of him. Very much scared.She has seen his angry, worst side so she never tried to speak back with him, although she never really did that with anyone. He was extremely closed off and distant. Not only from her but from everyone.Yes, he had couple of men that were extremely loyal to him but he was always alerted even with those who had spent years with him. They both shared a room and as she steps in giving her the rights of being his wife. He surely did treat her slightly special and different than he treated the others but only after he actually got to know her.
Zeke sat in his office as his phone rang. Mrs. Tan- The screen showed. His most trusted maid as he picked up the call."Good evening Mr. Zeke, Mrs. Lee has not eaten anything from the whole day.. So I though she was waiting for you, will you be back home late?" she spoke making Zeke sigh."I’ll be home shortly." He answered, ending the call as he clenched his jaw in anger.Quickly getting up he walked out of his company and to his car as the driver quickly started driving to home. DANICA POVThe door opened. I opened my eyes and saw Zeke standing there. I got up from the bed and stood straight, ready to listen to him. He looked really angry. I was scared."Why didn't you eat anything the whole day?" He asked me with his calm tone but anger was clearly visible in his eyes.“I’m asking you something, Danica." He spoke again, gritting his teeth together when I didn't reply to him, making me shiver since there was warning in his voice.
"Let's go," He said as Danica stood there looking down.Walking outside the door, Danica silently followed Zeke behind as everyone gazed at Zeke. His aura spat his name as he passed by everyone. Not only the fear that people had for him but also the respect that made people bow in front of Zeke.The car door was opened by their driver as Zeke sat inside, followed by Danica who was wearing a blue dress and had her legs shut closed tightly. The driver started the car as he drove to the party venue."Don't move away from my eyes if l walk away from you, okay?" Zeke said firmly, looking at her with face showing nothing but seriousness.Danica shivered hearing his voice, "Okay." She replied him softly as he faced the front again, keeping a still face.Yet he was nervous inside. Bringing her to his mafia parties have always been hard for him but he needed to do that. What if someone take advantage of her in my absence? What if someone use her against me? What if something bad happened
Opening the car door Zeke walked inside the Mansion as he held Danica's hand dragging her behind. Such a struggle it was for the poor girl to keep up with his pace in her heels. It could clearly be seen by anyone. He locked the door behind as he let go off her hand yanking her forcefully in front of him."Why did you leave the party?" he asked her as she looked up at his face as her mouth parted desiring to speak something or anything but only nothing came out.What could she tell him? That she saw a girl kissing him and didn't want to see anymore but couldn't stop him?"I wasn't feeling good.” Danica said as Zeke looked at her suspiciously."You look all good to me right now," he spoke making her to turn her head somewhere else, "I need the truth, Danica." Danica looked down on the floor. "I, umm. Zek-""Look at me when you speak Danica!" He growled making her flinch as she quickly looked at him, scared he might hurt her physically."You shouldn't have left so early.." She
Zeke squinted his eyes open as he heard some sobs and yells. He looked at his side to see Danica trembling as she continuously said -No and sobbed along. He was worried. He remembered the time she used to have nightmares. Was those coming back to her?“Oh no..” he mumbled.Turning to the other side he slightly shook her body, “D-Danica.” But there was no reply as he shook her a little harder. “Get up. You’re just having a nightmare,” he frowned as he heard her sob more loudly this time. “Wife, get up.” Zeke yanked her body making her to open her eyes. Danica looked at him with her confused red eyes. Her mouth parted as if she wanted to say something making him look at her with his whole attention. “l a-am s-sorry. I didn’t meant to wake you up. What it is..” Zeke straightened his brows after he heard her. He sighed softly falling back on his side. “That’s fine.” He wiggled on the bed trying to find a comfortable position again as Danica nodded before facing the wall
“Come here.” Zeke said softly while Danica stood in front of him in his office room.Danica walked to him slowly. She stood in front of him, he gently pulled her down to sit on his lap. Though it wasn't new to her. She had gotten used to it.Though she always took it as his pity.“Did you have your lunch?” Zeke questioned her with a soft yet deep voice.

“Sir, your wife wants to talk to you.” The guard said, while Zeke still talking to the three men. "Send her inside. A-and don't s-stop her the next time she wants to come in." Zeke replied. The guard bowed his head in apology before walking back outside. Danica walked inside as the others presented in the room bowed to her except for Zeke. She lightly bowed back. She looked up at Zeke who also looking at her with a straight face. She gulped feeling nervous, 'is he mad at me for interrupting?" She thought to herself.Zeke looked at those men before signaling them to walk out. The three men immediately bowed and walked outside the room silently. Zeke looked up, straightening his posture more perfectly as he took small steps in front of Danica. Danica felt so small in front of him. He towered over her petite figure. Slightly shivering she took some small steps behind without Zeke noticing as it was hard for her to breathe with him being so near.Zeke sighed when Danica didn't sad any
“Sir, Our men are almost ready. Woodlei has been preparing his men very quickly, also yangmart is getting more stronger.” Said Mr. Gik he stood behind Zeke.Zeke looked outside the window. He stood facing the wall. “Get our men trained more speedily, Mr. Gik we don’t have so much time. We need to take the first step.” Zeke answered. “Won’t it be a little too risky if we attack them first, Sir?” the man ask , “We should wait a litt–”“No. We’ll be attacking them first. We can’t be taking too much time trying to understand their strategy. We need to plan and attack sooner than them.” Zeke seriously said making the man to bow at him without hesitations. “We’ll do the exact, Sir.” He’s answered then suddenly the door was knocked by someone making Zeke to turn back.“Come in.” Zeke said. Mr. Gik still stood aside looking at who would come inside.Zeke’s guard walked inside with Mr. Lance and he bowed then left right after. “So what did you want to talk about, Mr. Lee?” Mr. Lance
“I think I have seen that men before." Zeke confused and he wants to know if Mr. Lance have a relation with Danica before. "Where?" He asked her."He had worked with my Dad before.." Danica said looking away from his gaze when Zeke narrowed his eyebrows."What?" Zeke questioned while Danica slightly moved on her seat."Yes that was him. I r-remember. Mom, once sent me to get Dad back from the club since he was very drunk. He was celebrating something that day.. And that man was with him. I don't think of him as a very good person. That's why l was asking if you were working with him." Danica looked up at him hoping for him to tell her that he isn't working with him."What's makes you think I am a good person?" He scoffed then looked back at the front eating his food."He uhmm. I think he’s not just good. I t-trust you to not b-be like him.” She said. Zeke noticed her shivering not wanting to talk, he silently ate his foods while Danica looked at him. Before Danica fini
“We appreciate you working with us, Mr. Lance.” Zeke said.“Of course. Though there is one problem.” Said the man who sat in front of Zeke.“What-“ Zeke asked but stopped when he saw Danica coming out of the room.“Who is this lady, Mr. Lee?” The men smirked as he looked Danica up and down making Zeke clench his jaw.“Go back to your room.” Zeke said looking at Danica coldly.“I was just–”“She has a pretty voice.” The man spoke.Danica looked at him scared. She moved her gaze to Zeke but quickly looked down when she found him glaring at her.“I’m busy. Go to your room now.” Zeke spoke the words more powerfully and slowly, making it clear for her to quickly run back to her room.She turned around before taking quick steps back to their room. She bite her lip, locking the door and she sat beside their parrot, “I’ll feed you later baby. Please wait..” She said caressing the parrot's head.Playing with her parrot she smiled seeing how cutely it walks around but suddenly frowned
Danica sat on a chair in the balcony with a parrot in the cage. She had her recently favorite book on the table kept in front of her with a mug of coffee on the side. Coffee with books. Her favorite combo.“Baby you’re so cute! Mama.. is so lucky to have you.” She said in a baby voice as she talked with the parrot.The parrot Zeke bought for her 3 months ago but was sent for training. Now that the parrot was more trained, it was more smarter. Zeke didn’t want her to feel alone that’s why he bought him for her.“Mama?” The parrot says tilting his head side to side and Danica slightly smiled. The first ever time she had ever smiled for real.“Yes baby. Mommy Dan?” Danica laugh a little bit taking the coffee mug of her coffee.“Mommy Dan!” The parrot repeated widen her eyes in surprise.“Yes baby. Zeke, daddy.” Danica continue softly as the parrot looked at her.She got up taking the cage in the room then she quickly closed the balcony door and opened the cage door helping the
Zeke looked on the other side of the bed as he found it empty. His eyes showing confusion as he soon widen his eyes remembering he had locked Danica in the balcony.Getting up quickly, he looked down the bag Danica’s dropped when he was scolding her.He picked it up and he looked inside, he find a packet of sanitary pads.“F*ck was she on her periods?” He panicked and he quickly put the bag on the drawer and walked toward the balcony.There she laid pale and white. Zeke saw her shivering on the floor. Lips trembling and looking as if all the colors faded. Zeke looked at her figure worriedly, he quickly picked her up in his arms and placed her on the bed, taking a seat beside her and started rubbing her hands, “Danica?” He called her while Danica kept on trembling. Quickly getting up from the bed Zeke closed the curtains before turning on the heater to warm the room. He walked to the bed and started rubbing her hands again, “W-wife. Please, open your eyes.” His voice came out s
“You called me, Zeke…?” Danica entered the room as she stood attentively in front to him. Zeke was working on his office desk.He looked up at her, eyes showing no signs of hardness as he sighed softly relaxing himself.“Yes. D-Did you have your lunch?” He questioned, eye penetrating through her as he observed her actions carefully not to creep her out.“Yes.” She answered looking at him as she knew he didn’t like it when she didn’t reply to him while looking at him.“Good girl.” He praised before opening his mouth to speak again, “Do you still feel weak?”Danica shook her head in response as he nodded in response.“You can now go.” Zeke said. Danica bite her lower lip before turning around to walk out of the room.Zeke straightened back before going back into working as he saw Danica walking out of the office room. Danica went to their room as she sighed and laid down on the bed. She was too bored, not knowing what to do she sighed again before getting up. She got up taking
