Daniel stood in his room and looked in a daze at the light of the city.

He could hardly believe he just got married, but he did, and he made sure to keep everything in check, and by in check, it meant keeping Regina locked in her room all day. He should probably feel bad, but he didn't, instead he wondered when and where to start with his project.

He sighed at the sight of his reflection in the large window that overlooked the cityscape outside his house. He couldn't believe he'd let it get so dark so fast, the sky had started turning into black.

And the moonlight shining outside his window gave his pale skin an ethereal glow. He could hardly get his mind off her, even though he tried to believe that.

He walked to a table with files and a system. He started revising on the project, he wanted it to be the best, and he also wanted to use it as a surprise during the big event coming up, speaking of which, he just remembered he hadn't got any feedback from his brother.

He picked the phone

    (Regina's POV)With my eyes still staring at her widely like I had just seen a ghost while her big brown eyes stared back at me pleadingly, but soon her lashes began to tremble upon seeing the pale look on my face. I could feel the blood in my veins turn cold. What she was asking for was beyond impossible. She seemed to panic as well but for different reasons.“Is… something wrong?” She asked fearfully. I struggled to keep my face straight and once I succeeded, I passed her a stiff smile. “Nothing. But what you're asking for…" I started, but my throat felt dry, so I swallowed deeply. She stared back at me in anticipation, I could see the curiosity imprinted on her face. If only she knew I was about to turn down her request. “I'm afraid I have to disappoint you and the rest. I can't help you do that, I'm in no position to make your boss fall for me.” Heck! That would be close to impossible. I had seen that look in his eyes several times that made me realize how worthless he saw me.

    Third POV “Until I saw you that day, standing outside with a worried look as if you were lost. Your dressing was entirely different from the expensive and revealing clothes those ladies I've seen normally put on. In fact, you looked thoroughly different from those ladies. I was expecting the exotic and seductive look when I saw you. However, you weren't putting on any short, tempting dress. You looked worn-out, helpless and somehow distressed. I thought maybe you were lost, and he decided to let you stay for just a brief moment before he sent you off, but I was utterly wrong.” She continued as she shook her head with a small smile.“You stayed longer than I expected. In fact, you appear to be more than any of us expected. You beat everyone's expectations hands down without putting any effort. With the natural looks, to the natural curves. You know, I suspect that you might be the first lady my boss has ever brought home that has gone natural for this long without the desire to look p

    Third POV Her eyes darted around as she reconsidered what he was saying. Her fists clenched as she suddenly had the zeal to do it, but there was still fear in her heart. Why was he helping her? She asked internally, and just then she felt a strong grip as he pulled her by the arm and turned her to look at him.She flinched by the unexpected change of event. “I can tell that you want to leave here… actually it's obvious and here is your free chance to do that, but before you think any further about it, let me remind you that no one forced you here. You made the deal yourself, you signed the contract and for that reason, you ought to take full responsibility for your action.” He said, his eyes piercing into hers.She gulped down nervously. “I did it for my people. You all started this, I never wanted any of this!” She said, clenching her fists at her sides.“None of us wanted this actually and I get that we disrupted your peace, but we had to do the inevitable. That land was rightfull

    Third POV Darryl sat in the car as he waited patiently for his boss, but he was taking so long. He finally decided to go check on him, but just then, the door to the bar got pushed open, and his boss stepped out with his arm wrapped around a lady's waist as he led her to the car. Darryl's eyes widened and his lips twitched. He knew his boss was back to his old habits, but why this lady? She was so far from his boss's taste. He knew the kind of women his boss had a taste for. If she stood close to those women, she would definitely fade when it comes to comparison. That was how far beyond she was, however he knew why his boss even considered her, probably because of his mood tonight.He just wanted a distraction, but that was not enough to calm Darryl down. He still felt the need to go out and pull the lady away from his boss. Her coy act earlier was enough to upset him. But he decided to just let it slide, since it was his boss's decision to pick her.They got into the car and Darryl

    Third POV Dr. Richard gradually turned to face him. “What question do you expect me to ask?” He asked in return. Daniel quietly sighed before he turned to look at the man as well.“Like why do I have her in my house or what is my relationship with her,” he replied, and the doctor just smiled.“That's not my business, nor do I find the need to interfere. I'm only here to do my job, which I'll continue to do until you dismiss me,” he said with a shrug.Daniel tilted his head to the side. “Then I think I have a question for you,” he responded. Dr. Richard slowly stalked towards him.“Would you mind saying it here, or would you prefer your office?” He asked, cautiously looking around. Judging by the serious look on Daniel's face, he could tell that the question was serious and private.“You know about my mother. I heard you also work for her,” he started, but the man shook his head.“I work for the family, Mr. Daniel. I'm the family Doctor, is there anything you want to know in particula

    Third POV Daniel was stunned by the words she uttered, and he wasn't the only one that seemed to be shocked. Regina was equally shocked by her sudden outburst, but deep down, she knew it was the truth. He must've agreed to what the men told him, and now he was here to probably find a proper way to get rid of her.Fear crept in, and she moved back from him dreadfully. Her eyes stung with tears that threatened to pour at any moment. Daniel blinked for a while, completely short of words, but he finally sighed and facepalmed himself.“I don't know what you're talking about, but you need medical treatment. You don't look okay, I will have a doctor come check on you until you're better.” He said plainly, and she scoffed.“Why bother the doctor when I'll die right after that?” She spat bitterly. He seemed to freeze for a moment before his muscles tensed, and then his eyes turned darker than she expected. “Regina, don't force words into my mouth. The doctor will check on you and please keep
