All Chapters of YES SIR; Forbidden Love Of Mine: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

CRYSTAL POV My heart almost leaped out of my throat when Duncan switched lanes, his knuckles white as he gripped the steering wheel like it was a lifebelt, an anchor gluing him to sanity. The way he held it was so rough I was afraid it break it into halves. My heart continued thumping in my throat, my mind reeling trying to break the heavy tension in the car, to find words to make this hurt less, just a little less.But what do you say to a man whose daughter is about to get killed by his crazy ex-wife? What words could possibly measure the kind of pain that rattles his brain with every breath he took, while he knew deep down that death was dancing in the vicinity of his daughter’s precious life?I wanted to be strong for him, I wanted him to know He wasn’t alone in all of this and that together, we were going to make it through. But I didn’t trust myself enough to save him, probably because I was drowning in my own sorrows while lurching on the little remaining normalcy in him, drin

CRYSTAL POVSomebody said death is peaceful. It is as still as the night, filled with nothing but darkness. They say it is a reprieve from pain, suffering, and strife that life has graciously granted us, unrequested. I was a fool to believe them. Because none of what I felt was anything close to it. The green water was a living hell, yet icy cold and chilling. The moment our bodies pierced the surface of the water, I was an inch from the arms of the Grim Reaper. And when I felt my lungs giving up on me, I knew it was time to kiss the precious life goodbye. With the little remaining strength and breath I have been holding, I pushed Aurora upwards while I succumbed deeper into the dark green abyss beneath my feet. I watched the little angel kicking through the water, a feeling of pride tugged at my heart. She was so beautiful, just like her father who has shown me more love than anybody else in this world. I watched with sad eyes, praying that she would break through the green doom t

CRYSTAL POV“Are you sure everything is okay?” Duncan drawled eyeing me from the corner of his eye as I helped him into his black suit coat. I swallowed the rising tiny knots of guilt down my throat and pulled on my best smile as I beelined around him and placed myself before him, smoothing the tie and failing to look into his eyes. I couldn’t bring myself to look into those beautiful blues because I was going to break. I was barely standing on my own feet right now as I used the remaining strength in me to hold my shit together. “You should try and stop being skeptical and just enjoy the ride, mister. Can’t I take you to dinner?” I attempted a smile before leaning on my toes and kissing the corner of his lips, lingering a minute longer so I could get the taste of him. For the last time. My throat tightened with unshed tears as the future flashed through my eyes. How would I wake up on a cold empty bed? I wasn't used to it. I was no longer used to a life of solitude and loneliness.

DUNCAN POVI would be lying if I said I knew how I got to the bar. Everything was a giant mess of blur and murk, and nothing seemed to make sense. The whiskey was a memory of warmth as it settled in my stomach, heating up my icy cold chest on its voyage down my internal pipes. I raised my head to look around the dimly lit bar, before dragging my eyes back to the amber and golden liquid in the glass grasped in my hand. I traced my finger on the rim of the glass, admiring the warm taste that resembled a tinge of normalcy. I nursed the liquid steadily, listening to the voices in my head as they bickered back and forth, trying to come up with one simple answer that would put a full stop to all of this mess. I was tired of question marks. “So what are you going to do?” Yet another question I didn’t hold an answer to. If only Apollo knew, then he wouldn’t have asked. I remained quiet for a minute longer, listening to it as it fell into a jumble of mess in my head. “I don’t know. Move bac

DUNCAN POV“Uncle-daddy?” My heart skitted to a stop, bitterness gripped my throat in a tight vise. I plastered a small smile and turned to look into the blue eyes and a cute plump face.“Just call me daddy.” I inched lower and picked Aurora up before plastering a kiss on her cheek. She dipped her head into her chest and giggled...“Why? You don’t like uncle-daddy?” The bubbly face was quickly replaced by curiosity, and I found myself chuckling, despite my heart which felt like it was being hammered repeatedly.“No. But I am your daddy.” “Nooooo…” She shook her head rapidly, causing her curls to brush her shoulders, “You are uncle-daddy, Uncle-daddy, uncle-daddy…” She began chanting while pumping her small clenched fists up and down, causing inquisitive glances to be cast our of the way.“Okay, okay. Uncle-daddy.” I acquiesced causing her to giggle. She wrapped her arms around my neck, planting a huge kiss on my cheek. Little things she learned from HER.“Is Fairy not coming with u
