“I think I have seen that men before." Zeke confused and he wants to know if Mr. Lance have a relation with Danica before. "Where?" He asked her."He had worked with my Dad before.." Danica said looking away from his gaze when Zeke narrowed his eyebrows."What?" Zeke questioned while Danica slightly moved on her seat."Yes that was him. I r-remember. Mom, once sent me to get Dad back from the club since he was very drunk. He was celebrating something that day.. And that man was with him. I don't think of him as a very good person. That's why l was asking if you were working with him." Danica looked up at him hoping for him to tell her that he isn't working with him."What's makes you think I am a good person?" He scoffed then looked back at the front eating his food."He uhmm. I think he’s not just good. I t-trust you to not b-be like him.” She said. Zeke noticed her shivering not wanting to talk, he silently ate his foods while Danica looked at him. Before Danica fini
“Sir, Our men are almost ready. Woodlei has been preparing his men very quickly, also yangmart is getting more stronger.” Said Mr. Gik he stood behind Zeke.Zeke looked outside the window. He stood facing the wall. “Get our men trained more speedily, Mr. Gik we don’t have so much time. We need to take the first step.” Zeke answered. “Won’t it be a little too risky if we attack them first, Sir?” the man ask , “We should wait a litt–”“No. We’ll be attacking them first. We can’t be taking too much time trying to understand their strategy. We need to plan and attack sooner than them.” Zeke seriously said making the man to bow at him without hesitations. “We’ll do the exact, Sir.” He’s answered then suddenly the door was knocked by someone making Zeke to turn back.“Come in.” Zeke said. Mr. Gik still stood aside looking at who would come inside.Zeke’s guard walked inside with Mr. Lance and he bowed then left right after. “So what did you want to talk about, Mr. Lee?” Mr. Lance
“Sir, your wife wants to talk to you.” The guard said, while Zeke still talking to the three men. "Send her inside. A-and don't s-stop her the next time she wants to come in." Zeke replied. The guard bowed his head in apology before walking back outside. Danica walked inside as the others presented in the room bowed to her except for Zeke. She lightly bowed back. She looked up at Zeke who also looking at her with a straight face. She gulped feeling nervous, 'is he mad at me for interrupting?" She thought to herself.Zeke looked at those men before signaling them to walk out. The three men immediately bowed and walked outside the room silently. Zeke looked up, straightening his posture more perfectly as he took small steps in front of Danica. Danica felt so small in front of him. He towered over her petite figure. Slightly shivering she took some small steps behind without Zeke noticing as it was hard for her to breathe with him being so near.Zeke sighed when Danica didn't sad any
Walking toward the office room in hurry, Zeke breathed out heavily controlling himself. He quickly opened the dark room door in his office room.He saw a figure sitting on the corner. Danica immediately stood up, looking down. She was too hurt to say anything to him."“Do you still want to visit your sister Dian?” Zeke asked. Danica looked aside, not wanting to get mad at him.“Answer me.” He ask in a serious tone despite the fact that he was slightly drunk, "I don't want peopleto think my wife is a cowardly women who can noteven look people in the eye." He spat harshly while Danica slowly looked up meeting his eyes making him burn in rage even more.“Yes I do. But I will not bother you anymore with what I want. I deeply apologize that I had asked you for something you did not want.” Danica answer, trying to sound strong but ended up sounding so fragile and broken.Zeke clenched his jaw seeing how she still wants to meet them, “Good. Because you aren't meeting them or anyone. W
“Come here.” Zeke said softly while Danica stood in front of him in his office room.Danica walked to him slowly. She stood in front of him, he gently pulled her down to sit on his lap. Though it wasn't new to her. She had gotten used to it.Though she always took it as his pity.“Did you have your lunch?” Zeke questioned her with a soft yet deep voice. Danica nodded her head in response.“Yes. I did.” She answered, her voice hoarse making Zeke sighed. He looked away for a millisecond before looking at her once again.“I am sorry for what I ha-” He tried apologizing but Danica just shook her head immediately in response.“It's not your fault. Don't apologize. I should have been careful.” She spoke faintly. Zeke once again sighed softly knowing its of no use.“I’ll promise I will make everything right. Just trust me for the last time please.” He said caressing her hand that he had held softly in his rough ones.Danica nodded her head making Zeke to caress her cheeks. He looked at her
"Useless.” Danica heard her brother say for the last time as she walked toward the window to close it.After locking the door, she sat down on the bed letting her tears flow down her eyes. The one she held back since morning.DANICA POVIt's just the same. Always. Why does it have to be like this? I probably am not needed. Isn't this why they say such things to me? My family.Well are they my family? I could call them family before, but not now. Not anymore. I'm just a guest here. I feel so pathetic and worthless. I quickly wiped my tears as I heard footsteps and sat straight on the bed. When I heard knocks on the door, I opened it."Come and eat." I heard my mom say as l looked up at her and smiled."I'm not hungry." I smiled at her and told her that I wasn't hungry, but she didn't seem to care. After rolling her eyes, she shut the door. I burst into tears once again seeing how nobody really cares.This is what my life has been like ever since I was a kid. My mother loved my b
Quietly sitting on the back seat like an obedient child, she looked out of the window. Zeke sat beside her as he quietly observed her nervous and scared state.Obviously, he was aware that she was scared of him, but that didn't trouble his heart. He was okay with his wife fearing him. Soon enough they reached the house as Danica got out of the car and walked behind Zeke as she silently followed him inside. She was scared of him. Very much scared.She has seen his angry, worst side so she never tried to speak back with him, although she never really did that with anyone. He was extremely closed off and distant. Not only from her but from everyone.Yes, he had couple of men that were extremely loyal to him but he was always alerted even with those who had spent years with him. They both shared a room and as she steps in giving her the rights of being his wife. He surely did treat her slightly special and different than he treated the others but only after he actually got to know her.
Zeke sat in his office as his phone rang. Mrs. Tan- The screen showed. His most trusted maid as he picked up the call."Good evening Mr. Zeke, Mrs. Lee has not eaten anything from the whole day.. So I though she was waiting for you, will you be back home late?" she spoke making Zeke sigh."I’ll be home shortly." He answered, ending the call as he clenched his jaw in anger.Quickly getting up he walked out of his company and to his car as the driver quickly started driving to home. DANICA POVThe door opened. I opened my eyes and saw Zeke standing there. I got up from the bed and stood straight, ready to listen to him. He looked really angry. I was scared."Why didn't you eat anything the whole day?" He asked me with his calm tone but anger was clearly visible in his eyes.“I’m asking you something, Danica." He spoke again, gritting his teeth together when I didn't reply to him, making me shiver since there was warning in his voice.
