"Wait, what?" I blinked, my mind struggling to process Daryl's words. He stared at me, his expression a mix of amusement and bewilderment."I said, we're buying you a new car," he repeated, his voice calm but laced with a hint of something else, something I couldn't quite place. My heart stuttered. "The company's footing the bill?" I asked, my voice barely a whisper. Daryl nodded his head, a slow, deliberate motion that seemed to stretch the silence between us. “Yes!" My breath caught in my throat. “Yes?” I echoed, the word hanging in the air, heavy with disbelief and a growing sense of unease. I knew I was repeating myself, but the reality of the situation was still sinking in, a lead weight settling in my stomach."Can you help me choose?" I asked, my voice a little hesitant. Daryl's laughter, a warm, rumbling sound, filled the space between us."Of course," he said, his eyes twinkling. "I'd love to help you find the perfect

Chapter Twelve

“Nice to meet you!” I forced a smile, shaking her hand. The awkwardness of the moment hung heavy in the air.“Thank you for your hard work, Tyra!” Helena’s voice was warm, but I couldn't shake the feeling that her smile was a little too bright, a little too forced.“Let her do her work.” Daryl’s voice was a low rumble beside me, and I felt a jolt of surprise. He was already there, his gaze fixed on Helena. His presence, unexpected and unwelcome, amplified the tension in the room.“Yeah, I will leave now.” The words felt hollow, my smile fading as I turned towards the door. I couldn't help but feel a pang of frustration. I was supposed to be focused on my work, not caught in this awkward dance of forced pleasantries and unspoken tension.Helena’s laughter echoed through the hallway, a mocking reminder of my presence in Daryl’s office. I tried to bury myself in work, but her laughter, coupled with Daryl’s earlier behavior, gnawed at my mind. Why was he acting so…f

Chapter Thirteen

As the weeks turned into months at Daryl's company, I learned to understand his communication style. My initial assumptions about his treatment of me faded, replaced by the realization that he was simply a kind person. Dizziness struck me mid-elevator ride. I leaned against the wall, the sensation uncomfortably familiar—it had been weeks since I'd felt this way. The elevator doors opened, and I stepped into Daryl's office, my usual routine a stark contrast to the unsettling feeling that lingered. As I reached my desk and began to tidy up, a tingling sensation started in my stomach. The wave of nausea hit me hard, and I raced to the bathroom, barely making it in time. What was wrong with me? After a quick rinse with mouthwash, I returned to my desk, feeling drained. Daryl was already deep in work, his focus a stark contrast to my own disorientation. I tried to settle back into my tasks. Then, Daryl's voice broke through the quiet, calling

Chapter Fourteen

The weight of my body felt like a leaden blanket. I opened my eyes to a blinding white. My throat was dry, and a dull ache throbbed in my head. I saw Joana, curled up asleep on the couch, her face pale in the harsh light. I tried to call out to her, but my voice was a hoarse whisper. The door creaked open, and Daryl and Tyler stepped in, their faces etched with concern. They saw me awake and immediately called for the doctor. A flurry of activity followed, nurses bustling around, instruments clicking, voices murmuring. I lay there, enveloped in the cacophony, until the doctor finally spoke, his calm voice a beacon in the storm. "Ms. Sandoval, can you tell me how you're feeling?" The doctor's voice was calm and reassuring, her eyes focused on me. I met her gaze, feeling a wave of dizziness wash over me. "A bit dizzy," I managed to say, my voice a little shaky. She nodded, her expression unreadable. "And when was your last menstrual

Chapter Fifteen

"Wait, what?" I inquired, the words hanging in the air as I tried to grasp his question. Perhaps I had simply misinterpreted his words."I'm asking about your relationship status," Daryl responded, prompting me to regard him with a newfound seriousness."Why the sudden interest, sir?" I pressed further, our eyes locked in a silent exchange."It's nothing, just idle curiosity," he deflected with a casual nod, a hint of mystery lingering in his gaze."Do you have any questions for me?" he asked, his voice smooth and expectant. One question immediately sprang to mind."Are you single, sir?" I blurted out, my cheeks flushing slightly. To my surprise, he didn't seem fazed by my boldness."Yes," he replied, a hint of a smile playing at his lips. I simply nodded, my curiosity became more intense.My legs felt like lead as I walked away, a knot of anger tightening in my stomach. How could he deny her? I'd seen it all, the way he looked at her, the way he hel

Chapter Sixteen

“What’s happening here?” I blurted, my voice a tremor in the sudden silence. Their grins, wide and knowing, sent a shiver down my spine.“So, you’re thinking Helena’s Daryl’s girlfriend?” The man’s words were a slow, deliberate drawl, each syllable dripping with a chilling amusement. He was like Laxus, the first time I’d met him, a presence that commanded attention, a force I couldn’t quite understand.“That’s what it looks like,” I managed, my voice barely a whisper. The man nodded slowly, his eyes gleaming with a hidden knowledge.“I’m Helena’s boyfriend,” he said, his voice a low rumble, “Yazi, by the way.” He extended his hand, his grip firm and unwavering, a silent challenge that sent a wave of unease crashing over me.My eyes darted to his hand, a wave of apprehension washing over me, before I hesitantly shook it."Tyra," I said, offering my hand. He smiled, his eyes lingering on Daryl for a moment before returning to me. "It's so nice to mee

Chapter Seventeen

"What's wrong with being divorced?" Daryl's words hung in the air, making no sense to me. I blinked, trying to process what he'd just said."Did you hear me?" I asked, my voice laced with confusion.He nodded, his gaze unwavering. "Yeah, so what's wrong with that?" he repeated.I shook my head, unable to believe what I was hearing. "You're out of your mind," I whispered, looking away.I heard his chuckle, a mocking sound that grated on my nerves. His words still echoed in my head, leaving a bitter taste. I wasn't going to give him the satisfaction of seeing me flustered. Turning on my heel, I grabbed my bag and marched toward the elevator, my steps purposeful. As I pressed the button for the ground floor, I saw Daryl emerge from his office, but I didn't acknowledge him. I was done with this conversation, done with this day."Wait—" His voice trailed off as the elevator doors closed, leaving me with a sense of forebo

Chapter Eighteen

"I'm a bit confused. Would you mind clarifying the situation?" Tyler asked as they went downstairs.Joana's gaze lingered on me for a moment before moving to the paper."Let me see that!" Joana said, her eyes sparkling with curiosity, and I handed her the paper.Joana's hand trembled slightly as she unfolded the paper. A look of shock crossed her face, and she handed it back to me, her gaze fixed on Daryl."Tyra?" Tyler's voice was laced with concern. I could only shake my head, a wave of emotion washing over me. "Yes, I'm pregnant!" I blurted out, my eyes searching for Daryl's reaction.Daryl's eyes held no emotion, just a blank stare. My heart sank. I knew this pregnancy would change everything between us."I'm sorry, I shouldn't have seen that," Daryl said, his voice tight with discomfort. He turned and walked away, his footsteps echoing in the living room.I let Daryl leave without a word. As soon as the door cl

Chapter Nineteen

"I'm carrying my ex-husband's child," I confessed, my voice barely a whisper. Daryl's gaze held mine, unwavering and intense. "Do you still feel something for me?" He didn't answer immediately. "What's wrong with that?" His question hung in the air, a stark contrast to the seriousness of his expression. I shook my head, disbelief washing over me. "You deserve someone who wants to build a future with you, a family," I said, my voice catching. The waiter arrived then, interrupting the charged silence, and set down our plates. The conversation died, replaced by the clinking of silverware and the quiet hum of the restaurant. I took a tentative bite of my food, the silence heavy in the air. Suddenly, I felt his gaze on me. Daryl was watching me, his eyes intense and unblinking. "I'm fine with your baby," Daryl said, his voice calm but firm, breaking the silence that had stretched between us. "I can take full responsibility, be a fat

Chapter Twenty

"He's here?" I whispered, my eyes darting around for a hiding spot. Laxus? It couldn't be. And Daryl, he's actually considering him as an investor? This is a nightmare.I found a hiding spot and huddled there, my heart pounding in my chest. After a couple of minutes, I managed to calm myself enough to pull out my phone and send a message to Daryl.‘I'm sorry, sir, I need to step out for a moment,’ I said, my cheeks burning with guilt. He granted my request, and I escaped the seminar, feeling a pang of remorse for my lie. Thank goodness for that, but I knew I had to make it up to him somehow.The seminar dragged on, but I finally made it to the end. Daryl's message about lunch with the guest arrived, and I was itching to get back to work.A feeling of unease washed over me as I walked towards the parking lot. Someone was watching me, and I turned to face him, my heart pounding in my chest."There you are!" Laxus's words were a chilling whi
