Danielle's POVThe taxi comes to a halt at my destination and I wand him some cash before dragging my feet into the house. My eyes were heavy with tears and a big frown contorted on my face as I inserted the key into its hole, the creaking sound of the door engulfed my ears as I pushed the door open, sluggishly walking in.The aftermath of my conversation with Nathan was washing off on me, and amidst all of that was the nibbling feeling clogging my throat. I felt so bad for cheating on Carlos but now it has gotten worse. I was not only cheating on him but sold my soul to the devil, shamelessly.“What was I thinking?!” I found myself slapping my head, it was too much to take in, Carlos would go back to a coma if he found out I did this to cure him.Aishhh… I agree that wasn’t the best option but it was the only one I could think of at that moment. I guess I will cross that bridge when I get there.Shoving off my thoughts, I skipped into the kitchen to grab a bottle of chilled water. I
NathanSlamming the door angrily, I pull down my sleeves advancing into the company. I had managed to keep up with every shenanigan Lisa performed at the restaurant and now I am having a terrible day.“Good afternoon sir,” one of my staff passes me a greeting as I walk past the block of offices.I don't respond and just continue on my way, my tongue moving all over my mouth as I think of Lisa. I know she purposely served me an extremely hot tea just to get back at me.Turning the doorknob, I step into my office and I'm shocked to see Danielle standing before me. I stagger backwards, almost colliding into the door.“Why aren't you taking your calls?” She screams at my face, huffing.The shock clears from my body and I gawk at her in disbelief. Not uttering a word, I walk to my desk and ring my secretary's telecom.“Get in here.” I say in one breath.Danielle stares at me in disbelief, she's about to say something but she stops, shrugging instead.Just then the door opens and Janet ru
Chapter 8NathanMy eyes are fixed on my phone, my lips spreading into a smile. I drop the phone and twirl around in my chair, my smile growing bigger.The door opens and my secretary walks in, her eyes glistening with smiles as she sees me playing around with my chair.“Oh, I didn't see you there.” I chided, putting a stop to the nuisance.“You seem to be in a very good mood, sir. Is it something I can share?” She jokes and I wave it off. “Is it time?” I ask, taking a look at my wrist watch. She nods and I stand up, heading out with her.We rounded a few corners before getting to the car park, I entered the car and she did the same. The driver pulled into the road and the drive began.My eyes are glued to my phone as if expecting a call from someone. A part of me is hoping she would at least call to thank me or ask questions about what she's getting herself into.But none came in.I drop my phone in exasperation, sighing as I adjusted my tie. Janet, who was busy sorting out some th
DanielleMy steps quickens as I enter the hospital. Unlike before, it isn't rowdy but quiet this time, perhaps there's no emergency.I stroll into Carlos ward, I couldn't help the tears that envelop me the minute I lay eyes on him. Dragging my feets further, I crouch to his level staring at his face. He is sleeping so calmly, he looks better than yesterday.I snivel and lay my head on his chest, praying for his safety.The door opens and a nurse enters. On her left hand lies a table file, and a syringe on the other hand. “Good morning, nurse.” I manage a greeting.“You're here, Miss Danielle.” She mumbles and shrinks the injection.My eyes guard her every move and as she proceeds to inject him with it I ask, “what is that for?”Taking one glance at me, she replies, “it's to keep him asleep so he doesn't interrupt the surgery.” I nod, chewing on my lips.As I watch her inject him her words registered in my brain. “Surgery.” I say, muttering the word like it's news to me.My initial
Chapter 6 Danielle CarterI hum softly, wriggling my body as the room temperature has become suddenly too cold but my hand touches something that shakes my spirit.I jolt up, sleep clearly from my eyes. Where am I?I threw caution to the air, taking my eyes everywhere until it landed on a man. He was naked with just a tight short hugging his manhood.My eyes boggled out of their sockets as I realized who he was. It is Nathan fucking Cress! And I am in his room, on his bed, lying naked beside him.My mouth flung to my mouth to suppress my scream. How did I get here? Was I seduced, was my drink spiked? I only remember having just a few drinks… shit! How could I let myself get drunk when I clearly know who I was hanging out with.I scold myself mentally and just then the thought of us having sex crossed my mind and proceeded to check myself if I was touched but there was no sign and I felt nothing thinking about last night.Taking my eyes back to him, I mutter “I guess we just made
" Ladies," Nathan says bringing everyone to look at him. I look away from him and focus on my phone doing nothing in particular. " Nathan " they all chorused and I frowned and cringed at the sound of his name. all these women are married and still Nathan has this kind of effect on them." Can you guys believe that I sent an email to Nathan about the reunion and the venue not even knowing that Nathan himself owns this place? " Josette says and everyone laughs including Nathan." How have you all been ? " he asks no one in particular but they all reply. I still do not utter a word because now that he was here I do not feel the need to stay longer. I could feel his gaze on me as he made little conversations with the ladies asking about their families and businesses." Danielle," he says softly and I stare at him in shock. I know he came here to taunt me but I didn't expect him to have the guts to call my name. " Nathan " I greet politely before looking away again." Oh Danielle you are
