SAAFIAโS POV:-โMister Dariel Cannedy had declined the accusation openly that none of it was real, neither news nor those pictures and this incident is now regarded as a fake attempt by his rival to degrade him.โThe TV was on where the news was being played. I held a scowl on my features, sitting on the couch with my legs crossed and a never ending grimace on my face.โTsk,โHow I thought I would surprise Dariel but everything went towards a terrible path and I saw no single hint of delight on his face. โWe can see how low humanity has fallen that they no longer care about peopleโs sentiments and can become vile only to hurt others. Also to be careful, technology has gone too far.โThey continued, clutching my dress, my excitement was also murdered, placed by a constant sting in my chest. โI canโt believe Helder would go this low to humiliate me publicly and for what? Why is he doing all this?โ I growled.Displeased with how my perfect life was turned upside down. โOn knowing fur
Dariel and I returned home finally. After weeks of waiting for this moment, I was home with my beloved, right beside him. Looking up at him in endearment, I was sitting on the bed. He was standing before me. I was holding his large in mine, gripping it firmly to encase it in my palm for eternity to never lose that warmth again.โYou are not angry with me anymore, right?โ I asked innocently, looking up at him worriedly.I couldnโt bear his negligence or rage further, it blanked my mind to the point I failed to process my thinking. He had turned me blind in love.โWhatever happened was not your fault. I was honestly stressed with everything happening. I didnโt want you to be disturbed because of me too,โ He sighed, giving my hand an assuring squeeze before sitting next to me.I asked softly, โIs that why you sent me away?โHe must have needed time and space after what he saw to register his situation before reacting. โYeah, I have been dealing with all this. My head is throbbing so b

Why?โ Harry argued.The ache of finding Tilda as his sister-in-law was immense, he resented how she neglected their bond yet agreed to marry his brother.โHe was my Bossโฆ we fell in love and it just happened. Look, I-I didnโt know he was your brother. By the time I came to know. It was too late.โ She reasoned sorrowfully.She also didnโt intend to marry the brother of her ex but it was too late by the time she realized that. โWhat do you expect me to do now?

Though Harry was the one who started telling, Jacey who also came to know everything too, shared it with Jared who was baffled.Blinking, he asked nervously, โWhy are you telling me all this?โโIโฆ found a hidden dairy in Mamaโs room. We never touched her private things, she wrote everything there for us and a message for Helder,โ She shared as they were in a park, on a bench. She was looking down, wanting to share the weight on her chest with someone. โWhat message?โ โI think I should tell that to him,โโSo you are saying that your Uncle was behind your Fatherโs murder and your mother knew but kept it inside? For Helder?โ He trailed off, narrowing his eyes to perceive if Helder knew about it or not.โYesโฆ She was carrying so much weight that it eventually killed her.โ Jaceyโs voice broke, hating how young she was that she couldnโt do anything for her consolation.She was heartbroken that their mother was in too much anguish that the remorse of her sins caused her to end her life.โ
DARIELโS POV:-โShe left us! She left me! She left Helder for your Father and I hated it! She made us like this!โI blinked in disbelief when he told me everything. My chest clenched upon knowing everything. My body trembled as I stared at this unbelievable man.โHowโฆ Do you expect anyoneโฆ whose home you destroyed, whose spouse you killedโฆ to..

I didnโt want to but why did she return in the first place?!โ He yelled.Slamming his hand down furiously but I forgot all my boundaries and limits and punched him in the jaw.โHow could you say this, asshole!?โ I yelled, losing my breath when after ravaging my family he was blaming us. โYou killed my father, you destroyed my family, stole our rights, put my mother into depression. Heck, even you made Helder like this and considered yourself innocent, dammit!?โ My voice broke when I hit him again until Saafia held me from behind to not cro
SAAFIAโS POV:-When Dariel broke into a sob, it shattered my heart. With tears glistening in my eyes, I wrapped my hands around his to soothe him yet the sound of it agonized me.โI donโt know what I should do anymore, Saafia. I feel so lost, I feel horrible,โ He cried, looking up at me with his teary eyes.Cupping his cheek, I wiped his tears that were breaking my heart. I couldnโt believe such reality was hidden from him.How heartbroken he must be after knowing his father was killedโฆโItโs alright, Dariel, give yourself some time.โ I wanted to comfort him by all means though I knew it wonโt be enough, nothing could eradicate the scar emerging on his chest.Pulling away a little, he clutched his chest to show his anguish as he told me about the regret he felt when he came to know.โAll this time, Mama was in pain but there was nothing I could do for herโฆ He was torturing her, he killed my father, she knew but kept quiet for Helderโฆโ A stream of tears rolled down his cheek, clutchi
JACEYโS POV:-Being with Jared was so tranquilizing, his words, his smile, everything about him was warming my heart.My heartbreak began to disperse as I gradually began to search for new reasons to live thanks to him. โI am glad you are here then, I feel peaceful when I talk to you.โ I whispered when we were having an ice-cream after work. He offered me a place near his office as we both shared a pleasant time.โDid Dariel ask you to keep an eye on me so I wonโt do something to myself in regret and sadness?โ I asked in a playful tone because I saw no reasons for him to be this kind to me.In fact, after Dariel, he was the second man to care this much for me. Sam never did this- Nevermind.โWhat? No. Though I feel the same and that is why I come to you.โ He chuckled sweetly.โHow unfortunate Sam would be for neglecting you. He had someone who could adore him the most yet he chose to give her pain,โ He spoke, evoking strange feelings in my chest at his heartfelt comment.โI could sa
3.5 Years Later. SAAFIAโS POV:-Today was Jaceyโs engagement with Jared. Both of them got an instant connection already but they were so scared of commitments that it took them three years to decide to be together.And on that day, I was running after my three-year-old daughter who was running and I was worried if she wouldn't fall.โLillia, come here, stop running!โNot caring, she ran and jumped into her fatherโs arms, โPapa!โโBe careful, princess, you will fall,โ Dariel laughed a little, picking Lillia who was hugging him with a wide grin.An important work came so he had to leave for a few hours but in that time we all fell asleep.Because my sweet Lilliaโs six months old younger brother had sworn to not let his mother rest.โWelcome home,โ I sighed, shaking my head as I gave Dariel a side hug.โThank you,โ He smiled, kissing the top of my head while putting down Lillia, giving her his office bag so she could take it to our room.โOh thank God, you are here, Dariel,โ I sighed wh
DARIELโS POV:-Helder surrendered himself without resistingโฆ It was expected, he was at a losing point of his life, he was utterly defeated and lost and gave up without trying. He knew he did wrong by flowing in the emotions.โYou are under arrest for kidnapping Jacey Cannedy and Jared Raz in the middle of the day,โ His head was hanging low, emitting deep dejection that made us all silent. We stood together while he was all alone.โI knowโฆโ Tears glistened in the corner of his eyes, curling his hand in a fist due to powerlessness. He lost all his purpose in a moment, one letter all it took to shatter him. They were about to take him away but he stopped before me. I felt an unknown sting in my chest, narrowing my eyes as he held a woeful expression.โDariel, I wanted to confess something,โโWhat?โHe looked down in shame, โThe child that Veronica abortedโฆ it was mine. I didnโt tell her to do that but she did it nonethelessโฆ It was me too who made her marry Jared.โ He whispered whic
SAAFIAโS POV:-My heartbeats were dropping by each passing second to think what Helder would do to Jacey. Harry had etched too much hatred in his heart.I was afraid he might not end up creating an irredeemable mistake. He was made this way, he had a path to return, to find acceptance. He would definitely regret losing that.โFuck! I canโt believe he is taking out my wrath on Jacey!โ Dariel growled as technically it was his fault.โWhy didnโt you tell me you battered him in your new construction site!?โ I hissed at him, not believing that he increased his fury by keeping him chained. โI was furious. He ruined your innocence, that Sam hurt my sister. For a second, I saw my life falling apart and I took that wrath on him,โ He sighed in distress, driving hastily to go where Helder called us.He wanted us to meet where he got hit, at the same construction site as I was glaring at Dariel, now understand why he sent me away.He didnโt want me to witness how ruthless he could become.โOh
