CHAPTER 34

Daniel

I don't know what happened to Rhea but I could tell my Mom really gave her a hard time. Since she felt exhausted I took her to bed and then made my way downstairs. My mom's purse was on the sofa while she went to pour herself a drink.

“What did you do to her?" I asked because curiosity wouldn't let me leave that question.

“Nothing," she turned before adding, “We just had a woman-to-woman talk, son."

“Mom, I know you. Rhea is—"

“Indeed a good girl," she cut me off before handing me a glass of wine.

“No, I'm fine. Why did you drug me?" I asked since I couldn't remember how I got home.

“I don't like people disturbing my work. You seemed stubborn so I had things done the easy way," Mom looked at me.

“I am your son Mom. That's just not fair what if—"

“Trust me, you don't want to go there, Daniel. It's getting late and you have a meeting with the directors tomorrow. Make sure everything goes smoothly OK?" she tapped on my shoulder.

"Isn't that supposed to be on Friday?

    CHAPTER 39Scarlett Swakopmund, Namibia The moment I walked out of that courtroom I knew life wouldn't be the same. If it wasn't for Zoe's hard work I would be paying for a crime I had nothing to do with. Everyone had fingers to point without giving ear to what I had to say. And worst of all, the man I once loved brought that same woman who caused us to my trial. He couldn't even wait for everything to be over instead kept kissing her damn hand in my face repeatedly. When I got home I packed my bags and got myself the next flight to Swakopmund. I've never been here before but heard a lot about this coastal city. The moment I got here, I got myself a job at a high-profile design studio. The way these people appreciate my work is just amazing. I haven't even gotten enough time to rest as all our clients only want me to handle their designs. Given a chance to put my work out there, I couldn't care much about anything else.Day and night I kept myself busy until I got a promotion as

    CHAPTER 38Daniel I got home and found Mrs. Kael about to leave.“I've left your food on the table. Please don't forget to take your medicine," she said, then almost left, but I called her back.“May I ask you something?” "Yes, talk to me, child. What's wrong?”"Scarlett. Does she call you?” I asked."No, my child, I haven't spoken or seen Scarlett ever since she left," Mrs. Kael responded."I see that's all I wanted to know, please get home safe," I said before she nodded her head and went away.My heart wasn't at ease. The picture of Scarlett kept running through my head. How did she even get to look like that? I scrolled through my phone again, trying to get a clip of what I had seen, but none popped up on my screen.I typed her name on my screen, but only photos of me popped up. Frustration was about to get the best of me but I just tried my best to pull myself together.I looked at the time on my screen and realized that it was still early. Staying at home would just stress me

    CHAPTER 37Daniel “Danny come on I'm a public figure he must have—" “Don't call me that Rhea. I knew that look. It has nothing to do with shock. What don't you want to tell me?" I asked.She took a deep breath and then replied, “Maybe you don't want me around I'm leaving." “After I just sent you 3 million?" “Oh, that…that's nothing to me, Daniel. I can have it sent to you in mini seconds. I've had men who sent more. That's what I'd call the bare minimum, don't even know why I took it damnit!" she cursed and then made her way upstairs.I was jealous and the thought of Rhea probably having something to do with George was consuming me. I threw my blazer on the sofa and then made my way to the kitchen, took some ice blocks, and then made my way to my office.Below my desk was a bottle of wine that I had not touched ever since I made that promise to Scarlett. Now that she's gone there was no need to keep it. I pulled out the bottle and then poured some wine into the glass with ice bloc

    CHAPTER 36Daniel George I whispered while he turned around surprised to see me.“Daniel Cross it's so nice to see you again," George replied as I hugged him.“Same here. It's not like you to come unannounced to what I owe this visit?" I asked before my mom walked towards us.“Daniel, what took you so long?” Mom smiled at me."I was a little busy, Mom, sorry,” I responded before she asked me to be on time."So George was saying he would like to talk to us about something. Now that we're all here, we might as well head to the boardroom, gentlemen," Mom said, and I agreed.George was one of our Empire's biggest investors from the States. He doesn't come around every time, but always keeps in contact.We entered the boardroom and George looked around at how changed the interior seemed.“Is everything OK?" Mom asked.“Yes, just wondering if Scarlett was behind this?" he responded.“No she's not. I personally chose this look. I hope you like it," Mom smiled.“I'm not sure about that but

    CHAPTER 35Daniel “There's no way I'm going to leave my life just to become your wife Daniel. I have no intentions of wanting to become a housewife," Rhea said, and I just couldn't believe my ears.“Babe what are you saying? It's not like you'll lack anything I just—" “I've been trying to tell you this, Daniel. This is just not for me. I deserve better," she shook her head.“Rhea what are you saying? I sacrificed my marriage for you. And you promised to become my wife." “Breaking one promise I can't keep won't hurt Daniel. I've had enough of all these limitations. I want to live my life,” Rhea said walking into the dressing room.I was certain she was going to pack her stuff but wasn't ready to lose her. I thought she was going to change but things just keep getting worse.“Rhea please. You don't have to go. We can figure things out together," I held her arm, but she pushed me back."Don't touch me,” she said.I couldn't do anything at that moment. I could tell Rhea was just not th
