Daniel’s POV “Jeez, dude, I was very nervous about you earlier. I thought you were dead serious.” Ryker called me after they talked to their family, and as expected, their family disapproved of Russell’s behavior. I’m not serious when I say I’ll send Russell to jail, but I have to convince her to be shocked, which works. I turned around when I heard someone knocking on the door. “I love your sister, and you know that. I can’t do the things I told her I would do.” I approached the door and watched as the doorknob moved and knocks came from outside. When the knocking stopped, I inhaled deeply. I don’t want to do that, but I have to do it to stop Russell from doing what she is doing. I know that she was only forced to marry me, but she was the one who kept me going with my plan all along. She started it, so I just took advantage. Is it wrong to punish the stupidity of someone I love if I know I will benefit? I know she likes me because I’ve never been wrong regarding a woman’s feelin
Russell’s POV Daniel and I didn’t talk during the flight. We are together, but the two of us are quiet. He doesn’t ask questions or tell stories like before, but still cares for me. He opened the car door for me earlier. And since we didn’t have breakfast before leaving the house, we went through the drive-thru, and he talked to me about what I wanted. While driving, he was eating a burger. I secretly glanced at him while I only wanted coffee, reasoning that I could eat at home. Mom will prepare me the food I want. However, annoyance and nervousness mingled with my emotions at the moment. He was annoyed because he was cold towards me and nervous that I would be married at home. There was ketchup left on the side of his lips after he ate the burger. Just in time, he also turned into the garage of my parent’s house. He took a deep breath and then looked at me. When he faced me, I immediately wiped the ketchup on the side of his lips with a tissue which surprised him. We stared at eac
Daniel’s POV “Marquez, how’s Senator Intal?” I asked a police officer about my coworker. I whispered to him. “Still alive?” We’ve reached the headquarters. While my team and I were walking to our office, I met the group from the other team in charge of the influential people. They give them security, especially when they’re in the national constitution. Government-employed security guards protect senators and members of Congress. Some are from the AFP (Armed Forces of the Philippines), while others are from the police. Marquez laughed at what I whispered. “Yes, sir, it’s still alive. Weeds are hard to kill.” I laughed at what the police said. Like me, there are a lot of other people who are disgusted with that senator. They are not just cowards. They talk arrogantly as well. “Just pay attention, sir,” I said. “Where do you want to go now?” “I’ve just filed a report. I’m going back to the hospital to watch him again.” “OK, just be careful...” I said it, then reached out and patte
Daniel’s POV My Wifey: What time are you getting home? My phone buzzed while we were looking at Ryker’s company’s CCTV. We keep an eye on the deliveryman, who gives letters to the guard and sometimes to the front desk in the lobby. I immediately read my husband’s name when I saw it on the screen. “Does she want to know when I’ll get home?’ I thought. “What’s your opinion, sir?” I looked at Javier, who was talking to me, but I didn’t understand what he was saying. “I’m sorry, what?” I asked. When Javier spoke again, the phone started vibrating again. Instead of listening to Javier, I looked at my phone and saw that Russell had sent me another text message. My Wifey: I am waiting for you. I took a deep breath. I did not reply to her first or second message. “There is a pattern to how letters get delivered to you,” Javier said. I was a little surprised to hear her voice. “Each time is different, but there’s a pattern. I can deal with it, sir.” “Are you sure?” Ryker asked. “Yea
----Warning Mature Content---Daniel's POV"W-wow!"Russell smiled at me and walked to the edge of the pool. Damn, she's so hot that any man will drool over her and want to claim every inch of her body. A burning sensation replaced my surprise and shock. The heat from my body was like lava from a volcano trying to get out. She went down toward the water until she completely dove into it. I quickly took off my clothes and followed her to the swimming pool. I want to run to get close to her immediately, but I must stop. I want to enjoy that the girl I'm crazy about is the one who said she needs me now.She was staring at me while her body was in the water, and her head was leaning slightly against the swimming pool wall. I jump into the water and swim towards her. I grabbed her leg beneath the water and moved my hand up her thighs and hips while raising my face to touch both cheeks. Russell instantly wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me. She pulled her into the water without te
Daniel’s POVRussell was fast asleep after we had some more intimate moments. I must have worn her out because she fell asleep after her climax. When my phone rang, I poured more wine into the glass and drank it. I got out of bed and got the phone from the table next to the bed. I frowned a little when I saw Ryker’s name on the screen. I also looked at the time on the phone and saw that it was almost 10 p.m.“Well done, brother-in-law!”When I answered Ryker’s call, his first greeting made me chuckle.“Well, I heard from my mom that my annoying sister chose you instead of trying to get rid of you. You get.”“I win...” I said, looking at Russell. “Dude, I don’t feel comfortable...”“Uh oh... should I go there?”-----Ryker and I sat on the pool’s edge with our feet in the water and drinking beers. Ryker had just come back from their house when he called me, but he went straight to their house so we could talk.“No, nothing has changed in how I feel. I’m just uncomfortable.”Ryker stopp
Russell's POV"That was your wisest choice, girl."Claire and I were in the ladies' room together. We went through there on our way to the classroom. While the other students came and went, we stood next to each other in front of the mirror."You think so?""Yeah, but if I'm yours, give him a month. It's impossible to fall in love with him in a week.""He is a womanizer, so it's no big deal for him to try to make me fall in love with him for a week.""Jeez, girl, you're not just a girl. You're the one Daniel wants. That means you're worth his hard work for a month. Fair play to both of you."I didn't say a word and just took a deep breath. Claire went into the cubicle, leaving me in front of the mirror. Later, my phone rang, so I pulled it right out of my bag. When I saw Ryan's name on the screen, I grinned. I immediately answered."Ryan...""Are you going out yet? The class is about to start."I giggled. "Fine, we're going out."I immediately ended the call, and Claire left her cubic
Russell's POV"Really? You shouldn't have put in any effort. He'll let you pass if you use your connection."Claire, Ryan, and I will share a table in the cafeteria. The class was over, but we still thought about hanging out while I waited for my ride. I told them about my conversation with Prof. Larry, and Ryan was slightly annoyed by the professor's reaction to my apology."I don't use a connection. I don't want that to be my problem one day.""Problem? This will be your strength if you want to...""I don't want to feel like a shadow of my family. I am an independent woman. I don't need anyone else but myself.""That sounds... confident, huh," Ryan said."I am confident," I said.Ryan chuckled and then suddenly put his arm around me. "That is my girl."Claire gave me a mean-looking glance. But I ignored that. I want to figure something out, and the only way I can do that is to face Ryan and Daniel.-----Daniel's POV"It looks like it is going to rain hard..."Since I knew the voice
