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
Third POV The noise outside broke the tension in the room. The four men seated facing each other immediately snapped their heads towards the door. Daniel furrowed his brows, then turned to look at Darryl. The look alone was a sigh for Darryl to check what happened. Darryl got the message and immediately stepped out of the room. The man turned back to look at Daniel. “Well, I hope you think about it carefully and tell me what you think. I really want to get this problem solved before it accelerates.”“I also want the same thing but what you are asking for is unnecessary, I can handle my problems and besides, I have already promised to get the project done before the due date, so you don't need to remind me or bother about it and let me do as promised.”“Daniel, I hope you will really keep to your words,” he muttered.“I will,” he said flatly.The men spared each other a look before they stood up. “Well said, then if you don't mind, we will take our leave now.” One of them announced.
Third POV Regina played with her fingers as she thought of what to say. Sensing her hesitation, he sighed. “I don't mean to intrude on your personal issues. I was just purely curious because this is the first time that I've seen Mr. Ice involved with any lady at all.”“Why is that?” She asked curiously.“Well, I don't really know, but people are having it that he might be a gay, but those are just rumors as usual.”Regina pressed her lips into a thin line as she processed the information. He wasn't a gay, that she was sure because if he were, then he would ignore her, and he would probably be bringing men over or even get a boyfriend. Well, she couldn't say the same because she was yet to see any lady around here. He never brought any woman home, made any calls whenever she was around, or even flirted with the sales girls at the boutique.Instead, he didn't entirely ignore her, he never called anyone whenever she was around or behaved suspiciously, besides why would he even think of
Third POV She was startled upon seeing him there, with his gaze darting around as if contemplating on where to look. “Is something wrong?” She asked, holding tightly to the piece of fabric.“What are you putting on?” He asked in return. His voice was husky, which earned a frown on her face. Looking down, she sighed and looked up at him.“I just took my bath.” She said matter-of-factly.“I know that, but why are you putting that on instead of a towel?”“It's what I have. Why? Is something wrong with it?” She asked innocently.He sighed and shook his head. Of course, everything was wrong with it. It was transparent for heaven' sake, and it was taking him everything not to look at her.Sighing again, he looked at her face. “I just came back from the office and decided to check on you besides you disappeared last night,” he drawled, and her eyes widened as if she remembered something.“Umm… About last night… I apologize for running off like that.” She struggled to find the right words t
Daniel's POVI pulled back from the kiss and looked at her for a while. She slowly opened her eyes and stared back and time seemed to have slowed down at that moment until she blinked as her eyes widened slowly.She covered her mouth with her hand before standing up and rushing away. I sat there in a daze, trying to comprehend what just happened.I gradually stood up with a frown because I was confused as to why she ran away as if being chased by something. Walking back to my room, I laid on the bed as I recalled everything that happened today. Every moment with her made me crave more, as if I was being pulled towards her by an unknown force.Her smile, eyes, and even the way she bit her lips nervously captivated. Her eyes held some innocence, something I don't deserve.I clenched my jaw. What is happening to me? Why am I thinking about her? Why did I enjoy her company? This was supposed to be a contract marriage, and there were rules guarding it that I couldn't afford to break.I kno
Rachael's POVMy hands shook as I wondered if he was being serious or joking with me. I blinked my eyes repeatedly, hoping to get a different meaning to what he said. His expression remained the same, and I knew immediately that he was serious.I stood there, fondling my clothes as I looked down, unable to look at him. His eyes were like a spell that held you down whenever you gazed into them for even a minute.He walked close to me and lifted my chin up, his eyes emitting the rage he was trying to hold back.“I'm not sure if I made myself clear,” he drawled, making the air stiff and I felt nauseous. I wish I wasn't in this predicament.“Look, don't let me repeat myself,” he warned, and I had no choice but to move my hand to the top of my dress. I pulled it off, and it fell, leaving me in nothing but my bra. I hoped that could satisfy him, though I wanted to cower away in shame when he kept staring, urging me to go further with his blank expression.There was no way I was going to tak
