ArthurI heard as she muttered the thank you. I only nodded without looking at her, I could see her through the mirror.It was absurd for the principal to think Avalon was at fault, and the nerve of the boys mother.I was glad that she and her daughter were safe, that little scene that I just experienced toiled with me, I wondered if there were times when they had no one to defend them, a male figure.It was a quiet car ride, Avalon seemed to be dozing off. I wasn’t going to take them home immediately, it was almost lunch and i am sure we all needed to eat, Avalon especially. She handled it well and I was proud of her.“We are going to eat.” I said as I parked into the lot. Danielle sat up, she didn’t even realize it either.“Oh now?”She asked as Avalon sat up properly.“Mummy, where are we?” She asked and Danielle turned to me.“We are at- at a restaurant.” She stuttered as she took in her surroundings.Avalon remained on the spot and I moved to her with a small smile on her face.“M

Danielle povI ended up following Arthur out of the place, we were on the last floor and i frowned, i hastened my steps, i had never been to this part of the building and when he stopped at a door, he pushed it opened and we were at the roof, i had never been here and when i didn't follow Arthur until he reached the helicopter landing pad he turned to me.“Are you afraid of heights?” he asked calmly. “No.” I replied to him.He smiled and he kept on walking to the edge. I was still nervous from earlier on. He suddenly paused and turned to me.“Come over.” He waved as he signaled. I stood there like a rock. I was indeed afraid of heights, he moved too close to the edge of the building, my anxiety rose and it crept into my heart.“Be careful or you will fall over.” I yelled out to him. He really needs to be careful. I gulped as it felt like all my words went through both his ears.My eyes popped out of my head and my anxiety took over, I didn’t realize when my legs acted faster than my br

Danielle POVI had no idea why i told him, i had no idea why i thought it was okay to be vulnerable with Arthur king, yet, here i was, telling him the thing that mattered to me the most.He opened up to you Dani, its fine that you did the same. My inner mind played.With my teeth sunk into my teeth, i shot up from the chair.“I- we- we- should get going.” I muttered brushing the invisible dirt on the back of my skirt. I turned to Arthur who was still inspecting the half-eaten hotdog, he didn’t pay attention to my complaint and only chewed on the food in his hands slowly as if to stir me up.“I need to finish my hot dog.” he muttered after another bite, my mouth dropped open and i stared at the man who a few minutes ago was rejecting to each from a food truck.“Bu- but its getting late-” i muttered in disbelief, i was riding on a thin line not to allow my annoyance get the best of me, so i crossed my hands over my chest instead and hoped he will eat faster but he doesn’t. Instead he be

Danielle pov“He brought you home again,” My mom said calmly while I stepped further into the apartment, I could feel her eyes on me as I skidded into the space. I had taken off my shoes and walked into the living area which had a bit of Avalons toys, I picked up a couple of the books on the chair and tucked them into my side.“Yes, i fell asleep and he woke me up-”“After I called a bazillion times.” she stated with a bit of a amusement in her voice, I pushed the door opened and she followed me inside, I dropped Avalon’s book on my desk and then my bag followed. My mum leaned on the door frame while I removed the rest of my clothing, each piece dropping to the ground.“I'll take Avalon down to bed and you should get washed up.” she said and walked away, there was a bit of pause on my end and when I heard the door close I sat down at the edge of the bed and exhaled.This wasn't how I wanted it to turn out to be, I didnt want my family to think I was in love again. I mean wasn't. Arthu

Dani POVLunch had ended early and we were heading back to the office, i was behind as i checked my phone for any updates but it was still blank. I raised my head when we got closer and found familiar black car parked out in front, and then the familiar hair of the man i had just seen in the tabloids with another woman. As if sensing that i was closeby, he turned in my direction as i halted in my steps. His eyes bore into mine like a predator who just found his prey, there was something about the way he stared, and i was familiar with that look, he wasn’t happy. The rest of my colleagues greeted him with a slight bow as they entered the building leaving me behind with Arthur who still had his eyes on me.“Mr. King.” i said dryly and his brows arched briefly before he turned away leaving me, but it was clear that he wanted me to follow him and so i did. I followed him inside, and everyone stood at attention as they saw him, no one had smiles on their faces, and every shoulders was upri
