Daniella's PovNow I'm standing in front of his study room, the man in black tuxedo as usual gave a light knock on the door before he opened it and motioned for me to go in which I did after giving him a small smile. Unlike my other visits, there is no sign of him here.If he's not here, why was I brought here?The door creaking open got my attention and I turn around to see who it was. it turns out to be him. He paused for a moment when his eyes landed on mine."Good afternoon, sir." I greeted with a small smile.He walked in and closed the door behind him, completely ignoring me. He walked over to his desk and took a seat."What are you doing here?" He asked, opening his laptop and not sparing a glance at my direction."I came here to say thank you for saving me the other day." I said, feeling awakard."Is that all?" He asked like my words didn't mean much to him, his focus still on his laptop.Hearing him say that makes me feel so stupid, I shouldn't have come here!"Yes…I'll be on
Javier's PovAfter I kissed Natalia's forehead I turned off her lamplight by her bed and made my way out of her room quietly. I made my way downstairs and towards the wine cellar to grab myself a bottle before heading to bed. To my surprise the kitchen lights were on. Cautiously, I walked further into the kitchen to see nanny Penelope. She was having a glass of water. She seemed surprised to see me as well.Why is she still up till this time?"You are still awake?" She asked."I was about heading to bed, just wanted to grab a bottle of wine to tag along." I said with a shrug."Will you be needing anything else Javier?" She asked."No, thank you." Nanny Penelope had been my nanny since childhood. Even after my parents passed away, she stepped in as a parent figure for me and she had single handedly raised me into the man I am right now. And now she's not just taking care of me but my daughter as well. At times I really don't know how I can appreciate her for her kindness and loyalty.
Chapter 6Isabella's POV"Today I won't be singing alone, today I will be singing with the person that has the same passion for music just like me but doesnt have the opportunity to show it to the world" he said as he looked down at the girl beside him.I felt my heart calm down when I heard his words. For a second I thought it was his-I wiped the thought out of my head as I focused my full attention to the telly while I sat down."So today is the day I will fuifill that one wish of hers" he said and one of the stage crew gave her a microphone.He bowed his head close enough to her ear like he was whispering something to her. My heart squeezed on how close he was to her but I didt want to think much about it.Its not even possible."The song tonight is titled, Pulling My Heart. Are you ready everyone?!" He yelled and the crowd roared.He looked down at the girl and started singing, I was so lost in his voice. So smooth and calming, I always get lost in them.Soon the girl joined in
Daniella's PovTurning here and there in this soft bed underneath me it hits me - my bed isn't as soft as this. I slowly opened my eyes to see where I was. Searching the surroundings, it dawned on me that I wasn't in my room. I am in my husband's house and in my husband bedroom. Would I ever get use to this?I sighed.Sitting up, I let my eyes wander to the couch he slept in yesterday and it was empty. I wondered if he left early or he was in the bathroom? Curious I came down from the bed and quietly made my way to the bathroom door."Hello?" I knocked lightly on the door. "Mr. Ruiz are you in there?" I asked, but I didn't get any response.Maybe he's not in there and the shower doesn't seem to be running either. He must have left early. What kind of man leaves very early? Maybe he had some business meeting or more important stuffs to handle. Did he even have breakfast? I should've made him some breakfast as it's my first day as his wife.Does this show am a terrible wife?No I don'
Daniella's PovAfter breakfast, Natalia was droven off to school and Mr grumpy went out for some work which Penelope found very upsetting as it's his first day as a married man. He's supposed to be on his honeymoon trip, she said.To be honest it really didn't bother me at all. Afterall, this marriage is clearly based on a contract. And not a love marriage. Sadly.I helped Penelope in doing the dishes. After that I had a tour of the house. It's so massive that I got tired and decided to stop and continue another day. But not before I saw a garden or should I say a plantation at the back of the house. It's so massive and beautiful. I could see workers here and there in the field, I had no idea he had something like this here. It's really beautiful, at least I have something that could keep myself busy in this big house. I can join the workers in the field when am free. Seeing how diligent they all seem to be with their work, I guess Mr Ruiz does pay them well.It's a little after 11
Daniella's PovI woke up to the sun rays peeking through the curtains. I sat up and stretched my arms to the air while yawning, I glanced at the couch where he slept on the day of our wedding but he wasn't there. I guess he woke up early as usual, but I didn't hear him come into the room last night.Well it's a good thing that he isn't here, I don't need my mood getting spoilt this morning just by looking at him. The words he said to me yesterday hasn't faded from my head, I doubt it ever would. I mean, who comes up with accusing his wife of adultery barely two days of their marriage? Definitely someone as annoying as Javier.I get off the bed and make my way to the bathroom. Placing my hand on the door knob my mind quickly flashes back to what happened yesterday. What if he's in there again and he accuses me of peeping at him? No! I'll leave freshen up to much later, or I can freshen up in Natalia's room.Great idea!I went to the closet and grabbed my clothes for the day and some b
Daniella's PovI watched on how cute Natalia looked as she giggled while she playing with her toys. I wondered if her birth mother is extremely beautiful just like her. It must've been hard for Javier to let go of her. Speaking of Javier, it's been two weeks since we last crossed paths. According to Penelope he's been up in his study and does go out for meetings. It's more like he sleeps and eats in that study of his because he hasn't come into the room for two weeks now.Not that I care anyways. I'm clearly happy that I won't be seeing that annoying man for the mean time. But then again, why does it feel like I'm saying this to convince myself that I'm okay with not seeing him. "Daniella? Natalia?" I heard Penelope calling out to us, I guess she's looking for us."Hey baby, it's time to head in. Nanny Penelope is looking for us." I said to her with a sweet smile which she returned."Okay." She said.I dusted her hand filled sand before making our way out of the garden and into the
Daniella's Pov"You are so hot." He said, trailing his finger through my wet clothes.I kept struggling, but there doesn't seem to be a way out. He suddenly tore my clothes, I struggled more in tears…God please help me!He used his tongue to lick my exposed stomach, I feel so utterly disgusted by his act. All I could do was cry while struggling. I continued to scream even though it was pointless. The rain continued to drown out my screams."Help! Help! Please…" I yelled, but then another smack came across my face, making me shut up.He squeezed my chin tightly in his grasp. "You're really a fool if you think anyone's gonna show up to save your sorry ass. You are all ours bitch." He jeered, letting go of my chin as all of them laughed.I cried with the realization that I am doomed. Suddenly I could hear some ruffling in the truck and the next thing, all the men were flying out of the truck. More like being thrown out of the truck by someone. I quickly gathered myself and my torn dress
