Danielle's POV I had to spend a lot of time taking care of both Clara and Gabriel. The kids seem to have no interest in Clara at all. It's been a while and they still haven't spoken to her. Every once in a while, Clara would sit down and wonder if she was such a monster. She thinks I have poisoned the kids' thoughts and that was why they were avoiding her but I told her nothing like that happened. The doorbell rang. "I'm coming," I shouted from the kitchen and rinsed my hands. I ran to check the door and I opened it to my greatest surprise. "Isabelle?" "You didn't have to say that much, can I come in?" She asked. I looked at her again and looked Inside my house. "What do you want?" It doesn't make any sense. Seeing Isabelle in my house was the last thing I was expecting. Or was she here to confirm if I was with Clara? She must have been told that I came for her or maybe she came for something else. Whatever it was, it can never be good. I stepped outside and closed the door

Danielle's POVI took one last breath in the bath and went out with a short towel wrapped around my chest. I met him on the bed, his eyes fixed on his phone.He didn't notice me yet. This is the time for second thoughts. Do I really want to do this? I fought the thought. I am getting old now. I don't want to think about anything else apart from what was in front of me. I took a few steps forward and he finally noticed me. I took off the towel I wrapped around my head and placed it on the handle of a brown chair that accompanied a big table.He dropped his phone and gazed at me for a long time. I could feel his gaze through every part of my body. Goosebumps found their way out and there was no cold."You look absolutely amazing." I looked away to cover my embarrassed cheeks. "Thank you."He tapped the bed, beaconing me to come sit by him. I walked slowly and sat down beside him on the bed.With a blink of an eye, his lips were on mine. He was rough and hungry yet seductive with his t

Danielle's POVI broke down on the ground in my room. What have I done? I should have thought twice before leaving the company. Now I am once again jobless.It's all my fault, I knew he was with Isabelle yet I allowed him to manipulate me enough and spend another night with me. I have made the same mistake twice, what if I get pregnant again?I'm a bloody fool to think he was a different person. How…how could I ever think of that? Now I understand why they say you can take the Lion out of the jungle but you can never take the jungle out of the Lion.It was all scripted. All the nice things he did for me, all the saving and protection, it was all a lie, a mere chance for me to think he was a good person. I have worked with him for a very long time and I have never seen Isabelle in the company.I smirked. He probably wanted me to see that particular scene of them making out and that's why he told me to come early to work. So pathetic.What was he to gain in the whole of the incident tha

Danielle's POV I stood on the podium, facing at least two hundred people in the small hall. Mark was behind me while Bryan had to get down for me to stand up there. He was furious, and he looked…afraid. That's good. I took a deep breath. The whole room was in decorum. I gave Bryan a hot glare before starting. "First of all, I want to apologize to Mr Smith and his Fiancee. I didn't mean any harm to your relationship. I know, getting closer to you was wrong but like every other girl out there, you were too attractive. In your absence, I guess I was able to stay humble but your pretty face is quite confusing,'' I said and chuckled. The audience laughed. I'm doing great. "I saw the news and I wondered what type of woman I would be in the face of the public. I was ashamed but I have come to make things right. Mr Smith was just trying to make it look more presentable but I guess he was just protecting his reputation. I was fired and I guess I deserved it." I looked at Isabelle. "Even I

Bryan's POVI couldn't dig a hole and hide in it. I sat on the couch and tried to think about the whole situation but I couldn't make any sense of it. From the first time I had Danielle in my company, my sole aim was to get her on my bed and I already did that now. Isn't that mission accomplished? Why then do I feel this way? I guess I have been hit by the very stone I threw. I can't forget the way she spoke that day, her voice keeps playing back in my head. I keep losing touch with reality, she always appears to me.What was she doing with Mark? Although I just gained what I wanted the most, it feels as though I lost something very important to me. I need to get her back and find a way to substitute her for Isabelle.What's the deal between them anyway? I can't distract Danielle and make her leave Mark. She doesn't know Mark was the person responsible for Clara's disappearance…well, so I thought. It has to be him, that would make other things fall in place. I would be able to go t
