His care

Daniel Bruno had spent the entire night staring at her. Not long after, Safdar Bruno entered the office, knocking on the door. He was surprised to find Daniel Bruno asleep, slumped in his office chair. Even more shocking was that Daniel was still wearing the same wrinkled clothes from the day before. It was unlike him—Daniel always paid attention to his appearance and would never show up to work so disheveled."Daniel..." Safdar gently shook his shoulder. Daniel opened his eyes, bloodshot from lack of sleep, and ran his hand through his hair as he straightened up."It’s fine. He must’ve slept here after coming in so early. Your office hours don’t usually start until later," Safdar said casually as he took a seat in front of Daniel, trying to lighten the mood."Yeah, last night... I don’t even know when I dozed off," Daniel replied, rubbing his beard with a weary hand."What do you mean? You were here all night? Are you okay?" Safdar asked, concern etched on his face."Nothing. I had a

Truth

Tasha sat outside on the lawn, wrapped in a shawl, looking sad as she rested on a cane chair. When Carl entered, her face lit up with joy. She immediately stood up, rushed to him, hugged him tightly, and began crying into his chest. “Tasha, what happened? Why are you crying? Did Daniel Bruno say something to you? Did he raise his hand against you?” Carl asked, his forehead creased in concern. Tasha didn’t answer. She just kept sobbing, soaking his chest with her tears. “Tell me, Tasha, what happened? Did Daniel Bruno do something?” Carl asked again, his tone colder as he gently pulled her away to look at her face. “No, Mr. Bruno didn’t do anything,” she replied, wiping her tears with trembling hands. “My heart just feels so heavy, Carl. I miss you all so much.” Her voice was soft, her smile sad. “Are you sure, Tasha? You’re not hiding anything, right? Did Daniel Bruno really not say or do anything to you?” Carl pressed, still unconvinced. “I told you, he didn’t do anything. You’

Anger

Daniel Bruno hadn’t been home since the previous night, and now, even at midnight, there was no sign of him. Tasha’s patience had run out; she’d spent the whole day worried and restless. She hated that Daniel stayed out all night. Frustrated, she dialed his number, but it was unreachable.Her thoughts spiraled in anger. "They were furious at me just for wearing a dress without a dupatta and shaking hands with a man. If I stayed out all night without telling them, they’d probably kill me!" Tasha paced back and forth, her emotions boiling over."If Mr. Bruno found out about my festival performance, he’d be furious. Who knows? He might even set me on fire." Tasha’s anxiety deepened as she redialed Daniel’s number, but his phone was still off. A sinking feeling hit her—was he with Ashil? The thought made her heart drop.Tasha sat on the sofa, shaking her leg nervously as she waited for Daniel. To distract herself, she grabbed the TV remote and turned it on, trying to act indifferent as if

Hot Night

Tasha stepped out of the washroom, wrapped in a white bathrobe, her damp hair falling over her shoulders. She stood before the dressing table, drying her hair with a hairdryer. Moments later, Daniel Bruno emerged from the washroom, wearing only black trousers. He smiled at her, his gaze warm, and walked over. Without a word, he slipped his arms around her from behind, brushing her hair to the side and placing a kiss on her neck.“Mr. Bruno, what are you doing? Haven’t you had enough?” Tasha asked, irritated, trying to wriggle free from his embrace. Daniel tightened his hold, pulling her closer against his chest. Catching her reflection in the mirror, he studied her face with a mischievous smile. “You were the one curious about how I spent last night without you,” he teased, leaning closer to her lips. Tasha quickly placed a hand on his mouth. “No, no, Mr. Bruno. You’ve already made it very clear how much you missed me. That’s enough now,” she said nervously, attempting to step away.

Attention

He was sitting in the study after dinner when Tasha entered, carrying a glass of milk.“Milk,” she said with a soft smile, placing it in front of him."Are you really trying to win my heart? Morning breakfast, then lunch, dinner, and now milk," he commented, his tone half-teasing but distracted as he worked tirelessly since morning."A lot," she replied with a playful smile, her expression confirming her intentions openly.For a moment, his gaze softened as if looking at her, but then his expression shifted. Tasha felt unsettled. He wasn’t looking at her—he seemed to be searching for someone else.This wasn’t the first time she felt this way. It couldn’t just be her imagination. His first love, Tahreem, lacked the qualities she sensed in his gaze. Then who could he be thinking of?"Can I ask you something?" His tone suddenly turned serious, pulling her out of her thoughts."Yes," she nodded slightly, giving him permission."Have you ever loved anyone other than Tahreem?" she asked, he

Attack

At that moment, Daniel Bruno's car raced along winding roads carved through high green mountains. On one side of the road, towering mountains stood guard, while on the other, deep, dark ditches loomed ominously. Daniel's face was flushed red with anger. Rais Bruno had crossed the line this time, attacking him relentlessly despite knowing Tasha was with him. Fueled by fury, Daniel pressed the accelerator hard as his guards returned fire at Rais Bruno's men chasing them. The sharp cracks of gunfire echoed through the night, heightening the tension.Tasha, sitting beside him, watched Daniel with wide, fearful eyes, her complexion pale from the chaos. The car sped forward as the guards fought back, their retaliation forcing the enemy's fire to subside slightly. Daniel stole a glance at Tasha, her frightened state only intensifying his rage."Rais Bruno," Daniel seethed under his breath, his grip on the steering wheel tightening, "you've gone too far this time. I won't let this slide."As

No escape

"You? What's going on?" she asked, startled as she came into the lounge. She was sitting on the couch, holding her head when she suddenly felt someone grab her hand firmly.It was a handsome young man who pulled her to another room. Once inside, he pushed her in and locked the door behind him. She stumbled onto the bed and turned around, seeing him standing by the door, locking it."What are you doing?" she asked, alarmed as he moved closer to her."Don’t act clueless," he said with a sarcastic tone, grinding his teeth. "Why did you bring me here like this?" she shouted, trying to sound brave, though fear crept into her voice.He stepped closer, his intense gaze fixed on her. As she backed away, he followed, step for step, until her back hit the closet. Trapped, she felt a rush of panic but forced herself to appear strong."You know," he said darkly, "when love and hate collide, things get... interesting."She was horrified, her voice trembling as she tried to push him away. "Stay bac

Passion

"You’re a beast, Daniel," Tasha spat, her voice trembling with anger.Daniel lay comfortably on the bed, the faintest hint of a smirk on his face, though his eyes betrayed the lingering sadness within. The tears streaming from Tasha’s eyes didn’t go unnoticed, but he didn’t react to them directly."Exactly," he said, his tone cold yet laced with an undercurrent of vulnerability. "I am a beast. And from today onward, you’ll have to live with this beast."Before she could fully process his words, Daniel grabbed her wrist with swift precision, pulling her forward. The sudden movement sent her tumbling onto his chest. Her hands instinctively pressed against him to push herself up, but before she could escape, his fingers tangled in her hair, gently but firmly. His thumb brushed her flushed cheek, leaving a trail of warmth that she wished she could wipe away.Tasha froze for a moment, her breath catching in her throat. This close, she could see the flicker of something unspoken in his eyes

Party time

“Come with me. There’s a lot of noise near the ladies’ area inside. You’ll need to wait outside.”Daniel and Eva were engrossed in their phones, seated on the plush chairs of the hotel lobby. The air carried a faint aroma of fresh flowers and coffee, blending with the hum of soft classical music. Tasha approached Daniel, her steps measured, her face neutral. As she neared him, she bent down slightly, her lips almost grazing his ear, and whispered softly.Eva, sitting a few feet away, noticed but couldn’t hear. What was Tasha discussing so secretly? A flicker of unease crossed her mind, but she brushed it aside. A sense of relief replaced her initial curiosity—at least her parents weren’t arguing anymore.“Eva, stay here,” Daniel instructed firmly. His voice was calm yet authoritative, the kind of tone that left no room for negotiation. “Khan Baba is coming soon. I’m going with your mom, okay?”Even though Tasha didn’t consider Nauman her husband in her heart, her actions told a differ

Hotel room

At the hotel that night, Daniel stepped out of the shower feeling refreshed, only to find Tasha fast asleep on the bed.Eva, their little boy, looked up with a mischievous grin. “Dad, come play video games. Mom won’t mind—she’s asleep!”Unable to resist his son's invitation, Daniel slipped on a black T-shirt and joined him on the couch. The two immersed themselves in their virtual battles, laughing and bonding late into the night.But their fun was cut short when Tasha stirred awake. At 2 a.m., she emerged to find the pair still glued to the TV. Planting herself firmly in front of the screen, arms crossed, she glared at them. “Daniel! Have you seen the time? Instead of stopping him, you’re encouraging him. Both of you—bed. Now!”Startled, Daniel quickly dropped the controller. “I was just about to head to bed,” he muttered sheepishly, sneaking a glance at her fiery expression. Eva, wide-eyed, darted off to his room before Tasha could say another word. Her mock exasperation turned into
