The room door busted open all of a sudden, revealing Jessica, whose eyes had instantly gone incredibly wide. Shit! From where both Daniella and Liam sat on the bed, they could comprehend the horrible look on Jessica’s face and for the first time, Daniella was scared too look at her mother’s face. Lowering her head and grasping the bedclothes so tight that the veins on her knuckles became exposed- Damn it! “What’s going on here?” Jessica scowled, scuttling wholly into the room and reaching out her hands and cupped her daughter’s face. By this time, Liam had rose from the bed and stood at one side. He couldn’t help but put up a hand to rub his forehead, shielding his eyes. He felt more embarrassed now than having sex with his own daughter. What now? Jessica would disclose their dirty affair to the world and then have him arrested? “Why are you having breakfast in bed, Ella? Are you sick? Do you wanna go to the hospital?” Jessica asked a series of question in one breath, stari

Michael had not stopped beaming since the moment he had seen his friends, preparing to tell them about his new-found happiness. They were presently in their usual playing ground—a hockey field, where they’ve always been right since when they were all in elementary school. “Is it just me, or you too are seeing the lasting smile on Michael’s face?” Joshua was the one spoke first as he stepped back from his locker to inspect Michael face carefully. Scott, who was done dressing and was about to wear his helmet, paused and stared at Michael’s face intently as if he wanted to see something behind his eyes. “Not to exaggerate, the last time I saw Michael smile like this was when he was telling us about Nathan’s ex-girlfriend,” he uttered, his gaze locking with Joshua’s at the end of his statement. And like that, they both looked over at Michael’s face. “Is it what we are thinking?” they asked simultaneously, eyes widening in total awe. Michael chortled for some time,

Goddammit!Liam swore inwardly without removing his gaze from Daniella’s upset face. Without anyone telling him, he knew that his daughter had seen him coming down from a woman’s car.“It’s not what you’re thinking, Ella,” he needed to make her understand nevertheless. “There were no cabs coming and I was running out of time and then she came to my aid when I was about to lose my mind,” Liam clarified, putting forward a few steps to close up the distance between them.Daniella then lowered her head, feeling her throat heavy and tears blurred her eyes.“You have to believe me, Ella,” Liam supplicated, reaching out his hand to hold her.Then, Daniella lifted her head to meet her father’s worried amber eyes with a tearstained face as more tears kept circling her eyes.“Is that why you had to smile with her?” she asked in a trembling tone, her eyes not moving from Liam’s face.“Ella,” Liam became highly strung up as he pressed himself closer to her and then extended his hands and palmed

“Hide now, Michael,” a shaky breath left Mandy’s mouth as she gave the instruction to Michael who immediately scampered toward the closet.“No,no,no… not my closet. You can’t fit in,” Mandy ran and stopped in front of him, trembling all over as she couldn’t imagine what Daniella would do to Michael once she set her eyes on him.Michael didn’t waste time before rushing to the bathroom door. But unfortunately, he slid on the ceramic tiled floor and before he could get back on his feet, the sound of the door opening echoed in the place.“Babe, I’m here,” Daniella peered her head into the exquisite modern bedroom and lifted her brows in surprise after seeing her friend jumping straight up in the air.Chuckling, Daniella set her foot into the room completely and the instant she did that, Mandy stopped what she was doing and rushed up to her.“Love of my life,” excitement lit up her whole face as she jumped on Daniella and deliberately spun her around so that her back would be facing Michae

As if having an appalling day already wasn’t enough, the least of all Daniella had expected was catching the sight of another woman with her father.And to think that it wasn’t just any woman, it was the same woman her father had told her about – his freaking first love.Thinking of this, her hands clenched tighter that her nails were almost embedded into her palm but she didn’t realize it. Her entire body was just quavering and her jaw had gone numb from the way she’d locked it intensely.“Uhhmm,” Ivy cleared her throat before turning to face Liam. “I’ll take my leave now. We’ll talk later on the phone,” She let out quickly and then hurried toward the doorway where Daniella was still standing inflexibly with a look that made her want to do anything more than to run out of that place as quickly as possible.“Hi, dear,” she managed to let out with a friendly smile while she squeezed herself to pass through the little space left behind Daniella.Daniella didn’t reply to her amiable g
