Knox stood at Danielle’s bedside, watching her with longing. The need to hold her, comfort her, tore him apart. Yet he couldn’t make a move towards her. Standing like a statue, he simply burned for her. Her face scrunched up in pain and she started wheezing. Knox panicked, leaning towards her to comfort her. He raised his arm to stroke her hair when she opened her eyes to look at him.A cry of horror escaped her mouth at the sight of him. “Go away! Please go away!” she groaned in agony. It attracted the nurse’s attention, and she rushed towards him to throw him out. “Please, sir, you need to leave. The patient is in pain. Your presence is scaring her!” Knox refused to budge, hurt by her reaction to him. Had she forgotten what they had shared? How could she forget him so easily? “But I’m the father of the child. I want to see my baby being born.” “No, please. Ask him to leave. I don’t want him here with me.” Danielle’s desperate scream echoed around the room and everyone turned t
The next morning was the worst day of Knox and Andrea’s lives. It was the day their grandpa would marry the woman they hated. Both Andrea and Knox refused to be a part of the ceremony to show their grudge, but it didn’t deter Vincent Cromwell. He had Granny Emma and their friends to help. “I’m feeling so helpless today. Someone I hate is invading my childhood home, and I have no way of stopping her. Maybe after a couple of months, Grandpa will realize his mistake. Until then, I don’t want to be here in this city!” Knox listened in silence. His mind was far away! His entire body was burning with the urge to destroy Danielle and her boyfriend! He didn’t want them to have their happily ever after with one another. Therefore, his mind was busy working up a strategy against Happy Matchmakers! After breakfast, he would definitely consult his lawyer to slap a lawsuit against Happy Matchmakers. They had provided services to his grandpa despite his warnings, even when his grandpa had opted
Danielle couldn’t utter a single word as the devastating news sank into her mind. “How could he do this to me, Lori? I loved him so much!” Tears crept into her eyes as her heart shattered into a million pieces. She had given Knox everything she held dear, expecting nothing in return but love. When he couldn’t love her, she accepted her fate and left him to find his happiness with Kendall. Then why did he destroy her business? It was her mom’s dream, and she intended to see it soar one day. “He’s an asshole, Dani. I’ll surely meet him and demand an explanation this time. He can’t get away with anything!” Danielle was too broken to listen to her. Her tired body and mind couldn’t think of a way out of this mess. “How can he sue your business for no fault of yours? He is demanding a million dollars, Dani as charges for using his grandpa as a stepping stone to gain fame. How is it our fault if his grandpa marries granny Cathy? I just helped them meet. I didn’t force them to marry!” Dan
Andrea sat watching her twin pace the floor. It was almost noon, yet he hadn’t gone to work. This was what she had been dreading. Seeing Knox’s condition, she couldn’t leave him and go. She returned home from the airport to support her brother. Zion was mad at her, but she couldn’t help it.She had no idea what exactly was bothering Knox. Was it their grandpa’s marriage? Was it Danielle’s upcoming wedding with her boyfriend, or was it the situation he was in with Kendall?“What’s bothering you so much? We can’t do a thing about grandpa. Let him learn his lesson.” “This isn’t about grandpa.” An incoming call from Kendall alerted him. What could she want now? Had she found out about his baby? He just hoped not. Later, when the time was right, he would tell her about it himself.“Then what is it about? Kendall or Danielle?” Knox looked annoyed by her questioning. “I have to take this call, Andy.” He walked away and Andrea glared at her twin. “Why did I return for him?” She sulked, wat
Loretta glared at Knox, who approached her menacingly. As if he liked Danielle! If he did, he wouldn’t have destroyed her business!“No, he doesn’t like Danielle. You don’t abuse the one you like. Knox has been abusing my friend, taking advantage of her innocence since the day he met her. He has physically abused her, impregnated her, and kept her forcefully with him. That was a crime. He ignored her condition and got engaged to another woman. That was another crime! But he didn’t stop at that!” Before she could utter another word, Knox grabbed her arm and dragged her to the main door.“That’s enough. Get out before I forget you’re a woman.” “Stop it, Knox. I’m talking to her,” scolded Andrea.Loretta yanked her arm free of his hold. “He plotted and planned to send me and granny to Florida. It weakened Danielle, leaving her alone here to cope with her condition and him!” “Oh! I don’t believe this!” said Andrea, turning towards her twin. Loretta laughed while Knox glared at the two
Knox drove over to Danielle’s apartment in a fit of rage. How could she just ignore him? Maybe she was still living with Davidoff. However, instead of Blade and his car, he saw Loretta outside her building. She gave him a distressed look before turning to stare at Danielle’s building with despair. Knox parked his car and strode towards her, a sense of dread clutching at his heart now. Something was seriously wrong with her! He could sense it. Loretta had left much ahead of him. Had she been standing here in front of Danielle’s building all this while?“Why are you here alone? Where’s Danielle?” Loretta gave him a desperate look, tears filling up her eyes at the same time. “She has left without informing me, Knox!” The tears spilled from her eyes and streamed down her cheeks as she tried to calm herself. Knox stood frozen, his mind in a state of shock. He couldn’t register what was going on. Where could Danielle go? “Left? She has just been discharged from the hospital. I’m sure Da
Andrea sat at her twin’s bedside, watching him with tears in her eyes. The last twenty-four hours had been crucial for him as he struggled to survive. When she admitted him to Bellevue Hospital nearby, he was diagnosed with a severe case of alcohol intoxication, along with cuts and wounds on his body. In the last twenty-four hours, he underwent alcohol detoxification, rest, and heavy doses of intravenous fluid, while Andrea went through the worst trauma of her life. With Mrs. Hamilton at home looking after Zane, she had to manage everything single-handedly. Knox opened his bleary eyes at last and looked at his twin. He hadn’t expected to live after the drunken mishap. He smiled with relief at seeing his twin. “What were you thinking, Knox? You could have spoken to me before thinking of ending your life.” Knox didn’t mind her scolding. She had the right to be angry with him. “I wasn’t in my senses. Thanks for saving me.” He looked so drained off that Andrea’s heart melted at his apo
“I had to come over to remind you I exist, Knox!” Kendall stormed into the house in a fit of rage. After being ignored for weeks, she now wanted to confront Knox. “Please stop creating a scene in my house, Kendall. I’m sure we can sort out our differences later.” Knox followed her inside with a scowl. He had just returned home from Detroit and had no wish to face Kendall now. His grandpa and Catherine gave the duo wary looks, but it wasn’t easy to avoid Kendall. She whirled around to face her fiancé. “When Knox? When will you have time for me?” Knox clenched his teeth and fisted his hands with disgust. “I’m a busy man. You should have known that when you forced me into this relationship. I don’t love you and never will. I’m only with you for my company shares. So cut the crap and stop stalking me around.” Kendall gaped at him, her eyes reflecting the hurt she felt in her heart. They glistened with tears, ready to spill, but they did not affect him.“Is that all you can say to me?
