Chapter Four

Smells of coffee and omelette filled the air as he walked into the cafeteria for a personal business. Dylan had suggested inviting Patricia over for the deal, hence the rationale behind giving her a day off. 

It's been two days after the incident, leaving him giddy with nervousness. Questions like - will Patricia agrees to it? What if she doesn't agree - kept invading his mind making him nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of locker. 

Sitting at the extreme of the cafeteria, Daniel glanced at the menu before him, uninterested in it. His stomach growled noisily, mortified, he wistfully glanced around, glad that no one was paying him any attention. Earlier, he had insisted on a mask to avoid unnecessary fans popping out of the blue sea. 

Just as he placed an order for a diet coke and an omelette, two figures approached him, dressed in black suit with their black curly hair styled giving them a sexy, model look. His tensed muscles relaxed instantly as his brain recognized one of the figures. 

"Hey man!" Dylan called excitedly, smiling like a lunatic. 

He had no chance for response when his phone rang noisily forcing some heads to turned towards his direction. 

"Excuse me" Daniel muttered as he glanced at the caller ID with a sigh. 

"Boss, Mr Dominic is here to see you concerning the signed document and contract" his secretary spoke into the phone. 

"Inform him of my absence"

"Sir, you also have a meeting with the stake holders of 'Blue Rose Company' " she added persistently. 

Damn it. "Cancel all my appointment for today!" 

"But, Mr Graham is here to see you..." 

"Look Celina, if you are not ready to lose your fucking job then do as instructed. Reset your moronic pea brain. Cancel all my appointment and meetings, inform Graham of my absent. Is that so difficult a task for you?" 

"Not really..." Fear clouding her mind, Celina apologized with intense humility that was really a facade. 

"Sorry Boss. I will.." 

He rudely disconnected the call, not interested in hearing false lies from her bitchy mouth when he had better things requiring his full attention.

"Work issue?" 

"Yeah" he replied drily, feeling irritated. 

"So, Mr Daniel..." Dylan quipped. "Meet Edward, my attorney" glancing at Edward, he added. "Meet Daniel Graham, my buddy and your client." 

"It's a pleasure meeting you" Edward spoke with a friendly tone, offering an handshake which he didn't resist.

 His voice sounded really masculine. Daniel couldn't help imagining how terrified an accuser under vindication will be if Edward uses that voice in court. Definitely, even the judge will be forced to offer more attention to his vindication.

In a professional tone, Edward added. "The legal document is ready. You could skim through it and if the is any question, feel free to ask for clarification" 

The document was well explanatory offering no room for questioning. It was legally documented. 

***

The noise from her stiletto had him raising his head from the document, heads turned as she majestically walked in with her shoulder high. An air of authority lurked behind her. 

Her curves, boldly pronounced on a red straight gown which stopped on her knees. Her beautiful straight legs didn't escaped his notice. 

"I sincerely apologize for being late. The traffic was terrible" Patricia exaggerated in a soft, pitched voice that made Daniel wondered how she will sound when moaning under intense pleasure.

Ashamed of his train of thought, Daniel sighed, inwardly hoping it will go as planned. 

"Apology accepted." Dylan said, stiffly breaking the silence. "Have a seat"

His cold tone when speaking with Patricia baffled him. Dylan, always cheerful had never being nice to Patricia which had Daniel speculating what was wrong. Never the lest, it wasn't his headache as such couldn't afford to take panadol over it. 

"Thanks" Patricia pulled out a chair opposite Dylan. She had choosen that spot to create some distance with her cranky boss. 

Edward watched silently as both men exchanged contact - more like some interactive signals. He was amazed by their strong bond though he couldn't comprehend what message were exchanged. But it was encrypted.

"Ms Patricia, my name is Daniel. A friend of Dylan, your boss. I have got some business deal for you" 

Interesting. Patricia thought. What sort of business could a mogul like Daniel have for an ordinary person like her. It was intriguing and yet she could feel the curiosity building up. With a neutrality, Patricia signalled him to continue.

Patricia's neutrality un-nerved him. Her face was devoid of any emotions that could give him a clue of what was going through her head.

"I want you to pose as my wife for two years. Your job with Dylan will be terminated during those years. You will be required to give me an heir. I can assure you of weekly allowances and you will be my wife only in paper" 

He spoke the last word coldly as though she didn't deserve to be called his wife.. Her face didn't change a bit for a while untill much later when comprehension of his proposal set in. 

The emotions moved from amusement to surprise to anger to neutrality. Her body language tensed. "Is that all I need to know about the contracted marriage?"

"You will be mandated to keep this a secret from people and the public."

Patricia gave an unladylike snort. 

"In addition to that, you are not allowed to be in a relationship with anyone during the two years of your supposed marriage to Daniel. Failure to adhere will warrant a castigation of any form" Dylan butted in arrogantly as though bearing a grudge against Patricia. 

Bullshit! Patricia smirked. The heaven must be smiling down at her. 

This was an opportunity to execute her mission. An opportunity she has been craving for. With an inward smile, Patricia's eyes glittered for a second before she masked it with a feign fury.

    Chapter 55Daniel unconsciously gasped. His heart palpitated as anger took control of his mortality. Fury blazed from his eyes, with his fist clenched. Fuck the bastard! He needed to put an end to this insanity! The motherfucker perturbing their peace needed to be caught and heavily charged for assault and infringement of privacy. "I need more details," Daniel coldly urged. His eyes scanned the garage for any suspicious movement and intruder. Satisfied with the result, his gaze drifted back to Mark, who remained stoic in his postured. "The bastard this time sent a bitch I had a fling with." Mark admitted, his pride wounded. His gaze fixed on Daniel, he knew his thought. Obviously, the 'I told you to cut off with this loose women, see where it landed you' expression was what he expected to see, but he was wrong. "The lady had access to my home."This wasn't a time to cast blame, but a time to conjure a solution and ways to reprehend the bastard responsible for harassing and more. "I a

    Chapter 54Surely, his eyes were deceiving him. Daniel speculated. Kate stiffened at her spot. Oh god! She clutched her heart, trying to stop it from accelerating. How in the hell did that happen? She blinked repeatedly, unsure of how to handle the situation. Breath in! Breath out. No one would know what transpired. Her subconscious mind warned. Exactly, there was no way in hell for Graham or Mark to know she was caught having a nefarious intention with Kim. Kate could vowed Daniel didn't know what transpired on that fateful night. He had only caught a glimpse of her, nothing to warrant any suspicious attitude bestowed towards her. "Hi, it's nice meeting you." She smiled, extending her soft palm for a friendly handshake. He knew what game she was playing by the partial twitch in her eyes. The light smile that didn't touch her hazel eyes. The swift way her body quickly relaxed with a faux composure that needed a little questioningly. Surely, Kate thought Daniel was either dumb or d

    Chapter 53Abort? Patricia's ears itched as she drew closer. Her eyes glittered brightly. Definitely, something was wrong with Daniel. Patricia concluded with certainty. Hot tears flowed freely and silently down her cheeks as she gazed at him. His heart shattered at Patricia's tears. He had not meant to sound harsh but the action of his brutality couldn't be revoke at that point. It was too late. The twinge of regret further fueled his guilt. Swallowing back the lump in his throat, Daniel tried reaching out to Patricia. His last vow felt like an empty promise as he gazed into Patricia's face, watching helplessly as she sobbed."Look, I didn't mean to say that. I mean, I am glad that you are pregnant for me." Hell! Was he glad? Granting Graham's wish felt like a huge feat but here he was thinking of aborting. What in hell name propelled him to blurt out such outrageous statement? There knowledge of Patricia's betrayal. The knowledge of Patricia's identity. That was the force behind h

    Chapter 52Daniel stopped dead on his track. His ears twitched at her words. His eyes unconsciously glanced at the wall clock - two thirty am. A sigh escaped his buccal cavity. Damn it! All reservation and composure seemed to have vanished into the silent night at that moment."Are you seriously serious?" Daniel turned back to Patricia with a blanched look accompanied by a concealed hatred. "Yeah." Patricia fluttered her eyelashes as she pouted, unconsciously caressing her little baby bump. "It's not really my fault. It's the baby's fault. She seemed to love food like her father." She winked teasingly. Daniel felt his heart raced at her statement. His lips arched to have a taste of her despite his hatred. Daniel's eyes travelled down her body covered with the silky night dress that was transparent and offered a lot to one's imagination. If not for the information he received, Daniel was certain he wouldn't have hesitated in tearing off Patricia's cloth, feasting first on her pink ni

    Chapter 51Clock tickling away in the far side of the room. Patricia stirred, still soundly asleep. Her hands searched for him. Her eyes shut opened, alarmed. She sat upright, pulling the duvet up, Patricia glanced at the wall clock. It was still two am. Where could he be? She speculated, stepping a feet out of the bed to check on him. As though on cue, he sighed alerting Patricia of his presence. Trailing the direction of the voice, Patricia followed till it led her directly to the couch. A figure sprawled on the couch with a pillow beneath him. Patricia stared at him. Her hands moved gently over his cheeks, caressing him softly. His eyes shut opened at her touch. The coldness that met her gaze paralysed her heart. "Hi.." Patricia muttered cooly. "I didn't see you on the bed so I was wondering where you were but then I caught you. What happened? Why are you here and not on the bed?" Daniel's mind flicked back to the details he received. Patricia was Melissa's murderer daughter. B

    Chapter 50Daniel blinked rapidly. His body tensed. His eyes widened as it remained fixed on the name, Patricia Henry. Hell! Was it what he was thinking? Gosh! It better not be. He wasn't sure if he could stemmed the hatred and hurt boiling from the depth of his stomach. Unaware of the quick changed in Daniel, Patricia moved away from him. "I will just arranged my things back." She began replacing the cloth in the closet. "I can't believe we are making this work. I mean you have always hated me right from the onset and now we are not just married. We will be expecting our first baby." Folding the silk gown into the box, Patricia gazed up. "What should we call her if it's a girl?" Daniel remained quiet. Assimilating the news he just received. His body still tensed with an incredulous expression as his heart failed to come in term with the message. His phone was still on his left hand as he kept staring into space. "Hey Hubby!" Patricia called, displeased by his silence. She threw a p
