Daniel’s POV “I told you I would never fall in love with you, Daniel. I hate you. You ruined my youth, and I don’t like you.” I don’t know what to say at that moment. I clenched my jaw and kept from getting angry. Until now, this girl is still playing with me. I don’t know if his heart is hard or if he likes to hold grudges. “Stop denying, Russell,” I said. “No matter how much your mouth denies it, I feel different when touching you. You like me, and even if your tongue hangs out in denial, I won’t believe you.” “Haist, your face is thick. You were just shown a fake, and you believed it.” “Why not. That’s you, Russell.” I said it with a smile. “Even if you get my body, I’ll ensure you don’t get my heart.” Even though I was hurt by what he said, I ignored it. Instead, I just smirked and showed I was not affected by what he said. Arriving at the house, Russell immediately went inside while I was in the garage. I took a deep breath and looked at the house. I held my head and sligh

Russell’s POV Daniel and I didn’t talk during the flight. We are together, but the two of us are quiet. He doesn’t ask questions or tell stories like before, but still cares for me. He opened the car door for me earlier. And since we didn’t have breakfast before leaving the house, we went through the drive-thru, and he talked to me about what I wanted. While driving, he was eating a burger. I secretly glanced at him while I only wanted coffee, reasoning that I could eat at home. Mom will prepare me the food I want. However, annoyance and nervousness mingled with my emotions at the moment. He was annoyed because he was cold towards me and nervous that I would be married at home. There was ketchup left on the side of his lips after he ate the burger. Just in time, he also turned into the garage of my parent’s house. He took a deep breath and then looked at me. When he faced me, I immediately wiped the ketchup on the side of his lips with a tissue which surprised him. We stared at eac

Daniel’s POV My Wifey: What time are you getting home? My phone buzzed while we were looking at Ryker’s company’s CCTV. We keep an eye on the deliveryman, who gives letters to the guard and sometimes to the front desk in the lobby. I immediately read my husband’s name when I saw it on the screen. “Does she want to know when I’ll get home?’ I thought. “What’s your opinion, sir?” I looked at Javier, who was talking to me, but I didn’t understand what he was saying. “I’m sorry, what?” I asked. When Javier spoke again, the phone started vibrating again. Instead of listening to Javier, I looked at my phone and saw that Russell had sent me another text message. My Wifey: I am waiting for you. I took a deep breath. I did not reply to her first or second message. “There is a pattern to how letters get delivered to you,” Javier said. I was a little surprised to hear her voice. “Each time is different, but there’s a pattern. I can deal with it, sir.” “Are you sure?” Ryker asked. “Yea

Daniel’s POVRussell was fast asleep after we had some more intimate moments. I must have worn her out because she fell asleep after her climax. When my phone rang, I poured more wine into the glass and drank it. I got out of bed and got the phone from the table next to the bed. I frowned a little when I saw Ryker’s name on the screen. I also looked at the time on the phone and saw that it was almost 10 p.m.“Well done, brother-in-law!”When I answered Ryker’s call, his first greeting made me chuckle.“Well, I heard from my mom that my annoying sister chose you instead of trying to get rid of you. You get.”“I win...” I said, looking at Russell. “Dude, I don’t feel comfortable...”“Uh oh... should I go there?”-----Ryker and I sat on the pool’s edge with our feet in the water and drinking beers. Ryker had just come back from their house when he called me, but he went straight to their house so we could talk.“No, nothing has changed in how I feel. I’m just uncomfortable.”Ryker stopp

Russell's POV"Really? You shouldn't have put in any effort. He'll let you pass if you use your connection."Claire, Ryan, and I will share a table in the cafeteria. The class was over, but we still thought about hanging out while I waited for my ride. I told them about my conversation with Prof. Larry, and Ryan was slightly annoyed by the professor's reaction to my apology."I don't use a connection. I don't want that to be my problem one day.""Problem? This will be your strength if you want to...""I don't want to feel like a shadow of my family. I am an independent woman. I don't need anyone else but myself.""That sounds... confident, huh," Ryan said."I am confident," I said.Ryan chuckled and then suddenly put his arm around me. "That is my girl."Claire gave me a mean-looking glance. But I ignored that. I want to figure something out, and the only way I can do that is to face Ryan and Daniel.-----Daniel's POV"It looks like it is going to rain hard..."Since I knew the voice
