Daniel's p.o.vAfter the last dinner we had in the restaurant, I dropped Linda home and went to see Rose. The way Linda acted when she thought I was going to leave her in that remote place was too comical. She defended Max in front of me and I hated that. After the small fight we had, I noticed that she was somewhere right. It was actually me who always put her in a dilemma.So I decided to solve the problem. I booked a restaurant for dinner and went to visit her dad's place. I thought it would be better if we tried to acknowledge each other's presence. It would not last longer anyway. We could adjust with each other till father was fully convinced that we were into each other and handed over the post of Chief Executive Officer to me. However, I hated the bond Max and Linda shared. The way he acted in front of her made my blood boil for unknown reasons. He was on good terms with Linda's father as well. I did not have the
Linda's p.o.v I sat on the bed trying to apply ointment on the bruise on my forehead.I hissed in pain. It hurt a lot and the most heart-breaking part was why did Daniel show me so much affection if he intended to hurt me. I already told him that I would not be an obstacle in his way. Instead, I would help him. Then why did I end up getting hurt. I despised myself for letting him affect me to such an extent. How could he tell Rose to come here when I was home? Drop of tears fell down my face. 'Why was my heart so sensitive?' "Linda." I recoiled when Daniel shouted my name in disgust. Wiping my tears, I went outside the room and met a ticked off Daniel. He was breathing out loudly and he was holding Rose's hand. His eyes were red with fury. I could not understand at first but then a wicked smile appeared on Rose's face and I understood that his anger was directed to me."How could you?" he screamed."I didn't know you would stoop so low.
Daniel's p.o.vSitting on the bed, I covered my face with my palms. Linda was gone for four hours and she still had not reached home. I called her dad to know if she was there but he did not pick up as well. Later, I tried to call Linda but her phone was unreachable.After she left, I applied ointment on Rose's bruised arm and forehead and ordered her to leave. She was being stubborn at first but then I convinced her. Staying here would not do her any good.After she left, I locked myself in the study room.I felt like I did something wrong. Did I humiliate Linda to show her that I still love Rose or did I do that because she was having a strong effect on me and I hated that? Was I trying to convince myself that I was not attracted to her?All those questions crept in my mind, making me confused. Every time she appeared in front of me, I recalled that face. That was one of the reasons I would not p
Daniel's p.o.vI stopped the car in front of the hospital and ran inside. I went directly to the receptionist for information. After that, I went straight to the floor I was told to go to and saw dad and mom sitting on a bench in front of a room. Mom was crying and dad was consoling her. As soon as dad saw me, he stood up. He was giving me murderous look. I lowered my eyes slowly. He stood face to face with me and threw a piece of paper on my face. Thankfully, I grabbed it on time. It was a letter and there was Linda's name on it. The letter looked somehow similar to the one that I had sent her before our marriage. I suddenly felt the urge to open it. Reading it, I froze on the spot. I saw my world collapsing in front of me. It was the same letter that I gave Frederick to give Linda. Dad was the one who had hidden the letter. My mind went blank at that moment. "Take this and get out of here. Amanda told me everything that has happened. I can't believe you are my son. That poor gi
Daniel's p.o.v I was taken aback. Without losing time, I went to call the doctor and he came in a flash."Why is she behaving like this?" My heart was pounding and I hoped for a positive answer. "Mrs. Anderson, how are you feeling?" The doctor ignored me and went straight towards Linda. "I- I can't- why can't I see anything?" She asked with a shaky voice. "Sir, you will have to wait outside. We need to do some check ups." I hesitated at first but then I went outside and leaned against the white wall with my palm covering my face. Complicating things was not going to help.I hoped what I was thinking was not true. She had already suffered a lot and I did not want her to endure agony anymore. I needed to ask for forgiveness. The guilt inside of me was brutally murdering me. I was wrong. Totally wrong. How could I even do something like that? I treated her like trash. My thoughts were preoccupied by the times when I insulted her. I waited for the doctor to come out. I needed ans
Third person's p.o.vLinda stood rigidly when she heard those words. 'What the hell did he mean by he did not want a divorce?' There was no way she would proceed with the idea of staying with him. She loved him but that did not mean she would do anything that he wanted. She realised that she did too much for him and in return she only received pain and would only be gifted with that if she did not liberate herself from him. She fathomed out that her self-respect came first. Daniel had hurt her enough and letting him do that again was all in her hands. "Have you lost your mind Daniel?"Brant frowned. He was not expecting to hear from Daniel after they cleared all the confusion in the hospital. He tried to put some sense in his son's brain but it seemed like it did not work. Instead of apologising, he was willing to make Linda suffer more. "Daniel, what are you saying? I thought after revealing the truth to you, you will change your behavior towards Linda. But you are still acting t
Third person's p.o.v "I agree to stay with Daniel." Daniel stood up immediately. He was not expecting Linda to accept his proposal. Hell, he had even planned to make her stay by force. He was not ready to let her go until he was sure that he was forgiven.He looked at his father and he was beyond shocked. His upper eyelids raised and the lower one remained neutral. Daniel was bewildered at first but then a smile played on his lips. A smirk of victory actually. "Linda, do you know what you are saying, my child?" Brant asked with a raspy voice. He did not know what was playing on Linda's mind to invite her own miseries again. "Of course I do. He said that he wants to take care of me. So why not give him a chance? Everyone deserves a second chance anyway. Am I right Daniel?" The smirk on Daniel's face was wiped away harshly. He was aprise of the fact that Linda was taunting him but he did not open his mouth to say anything. He deserved that. His h
Third person's p.o.v Daniel entered the room after he completed his work. He wanted to check on Linda but the emptiness of the room surprised him. Linda should have been here. Resting. 'Where was she?' He thought. "Linda." He called her name softly. "Linda." He called out a little bit louder but still no one answered."Lin-" Just as he was about to call for the third time he heard the shower in the bathroom. Linda was in the bathroom. How did she got in there without any assistance or help? His thoughts were soon vanished when he heard a melodious voice coming out from inside. It was a hum at first but was later changed into a song.Her voice sounded so harmonious that he closed his eyes and concentrated on it. He felt himself relaxed. He did not know Linda was such an excellent singer but then how would he? He never paid attention to her nor did he care to ask her about her likes and dislikes. H
