“There’s no way you can change my mind about this, Mandy. I’m not coming with you, period!” Daniella said decisively and then left where she was standing to sit on her bed. Mandy sough and turned properly to look at her friend, who had already grabbed a book and flipped through the pages.“It’s all in the past now, Ella. Please just forget it and let’s attend the frat party together,” she said cogently; her eyes were full of longing as she moved closer to meet her on the bed.Daniella lifted her head from her book and stared at Mandy faintly, “Are you asking me to hang around with someone who had flirted with my daddy before?” the corner of her eyes crinkled as she asked this question.“Lilly will never do that again, Ella. Moreover, you already taught her a lesson. Now I’m sure she will never think of being alone with Uncle Liam ever again,” “I might just murder her if I ever see her anywhere close to my dad again. So you better warn her,” Daniella threatened with an eye roll, bri

Daniella stared at her father’s deep penetrating eyes that spoke of heartbreak, betrayal, remorse, undying love, or maybe lust.“Tell me honestly, Ella. Do you think you can get rid of me by using your friend? ” Liam said with a ragged breath as he tightened his hand around her shoulder, bringing her closer.“I don’t understand what you are trying to say, Dad. I love Matthew as much as he loves me back,” Daniella's nose flared.Liam’s face broke into a million shreds and his chest rose. He hated the fact that her daughter was admitting that she loved someone else to his face. He then let his hands slide down Daniella’s hips, his tongue licking his lips and his heady gaze electrified her body.“So does it mean you don’t want Dad anymore?” his husky low voice took her breath while his fingers kneaded her skin.Her pulse was now racing fast as she inhaled a strained breath. She wanted to tell him to stop, but she was not sure she could say the words without being breathless.“What do y

Daniella’s breathing was now pounding strongly as if it could jump out of her chest anytime soon. She tried hard not to audibly sigh or moan or do anything at this close distance between her and her hottie Dad.She stared straight into his eyes which were exceptionally attractive like it was full of water, sparkling and deep.“Come on. Let’s get you inside,” she controlled the tremor in her voice and pulled away from Liam gently.She proceeded to pick her father up from the cold floor and thank goodness, Liam obliged this time. He stood giddily, smiling sheepishly at his daughter all the time.“You didn’t miss me, did you?” he asked incoherently as he sent his huge long arm around Daniella’s shoulder.Daniella glanced at him as she steadied his arm around her shoulder and guided him out of the door; his face was red and his breath smelled strongly of liquor.“Tell me, Dad. What made you drink so much?” Daniella raised a question while she made him lay on his bed.Liam sank with a wh

Ivy!The name reverberated in Daniella’s head and mind and she felt a tight knot twisted in her chest while her eyes glared holes at the sophisticated dressed lady standing in the entrance way.What the hell is she doing here?Looking at the woman at the entrance, Liam’s handsome face was now carrying a tinge of indifference, emanating an arctic coldness.Suddenly, he walked over to her and grabbed one of her hands. Like a clamp, his hand pinched her hand extremely tightly and then dragged her to stride away fast. His usual tender golden eyes blazing with fire. “What in God’s name is your problem, Ivy? What the hell are you doing here again?” Liam yelled out as he roughly let go of her hand, causing her to nearly fall down but he seemed not to give a damn.A pang burnt in Ivy’s chest as tears built in her eyes wildly. She thought in her mind that this was the first time Liam would be yelling at her and acting recklessly toward her. However, it was proper for him to behave like this

“Of course, Dad. It only means one thing; you still love I-v-y,” Daniella spelled out, tears fast building in her eyes. That said, she tried to walk away but Liam had wrapped a hand around her waist and hauled her into his chest in a swift.“Just in case I haven’t told you this before, Ella,” he said against Daniella’s hair as she continued to whimper softly in his chest.“You’re the best thing that has ever happened to me, Ella. I thought I wouldn’t be able to love another woman as much as I’ve loved Ivy but you growing up into a beautiful woman with me every day,”“Also, the great love you have for me, Ella, that I believe no one else could love me the same-not even your mom. It makes me realize that you’re just the one for me,”After listening to his last words, Daniella pulled out of his embrace and searched his face, staring deeply into his amber eyes.“I agree that I used to love Ivy with every part of my body but I never loved Ivy the way I love you, Ella. I love you more each
