Knox rushed out of the airport terminal, eager to get home. When his grandpa had called him last evening, he had been expecting complaints about Zane, but what he said just blew his mind away. He had to leave all work and board the first flight available to come home. He just hoped he wasn’t late. This time, he wouldn’t let Danielle get away with Angel! His Angel! He had never expected he would get to talk to her in this life. Yet he did! Flashback Fourteen Hours Ago“Hello, Knox! Are you busy?” Knox frowned on receiving a call from his grandpa out of the blue. Was Zane unwell? Was he giving his grandparents a hard time in his absence? He felt guilty for leaving him and coming to London, but the work was important and he couldn’t postpone it. “Yes, but you can tell me. Is something wrong, grandpa?” “No, I’m at Emma’s funeral. I wanted you to talk to..” Knox grunted in annoyance, interrupting his grandpa. “Please, Grandpa!” Surely his grandpa didn’t call him to force him to offer

Danielle was sure everyone could hear her heart hammer in her ribcage. His presence had caught them unawares. There was a bout of silence as Angel too gaped at the man who came in. Danielle slowly turned to look at the man she loved. It had been so long since she had seen him or heard his voice. Even after all these years, the sound of his voice took her breath away. She knew she shouldn’t feel the flutter in her stomach in his nearness. After all, he wasn’t hers anymore. Yet she did! Her eyes met with his whiskey-hued ones and time stood still for her. She gazed at him, drinking him in to last her a lifetime. All the memories flooded her brain at that moment, memories that left her dizzy with longing, hurt, numb, and sad! If only things were different. If only he loved her back! However, there was something amiss in his appearance this time. Not only had he reduced, but he looked haggard, his sunken eyes clearly telling her of the battles he had fought. Wasn’t he happy with Kendal

Knox dropped the twins and a haggard Andrea at their apartment and drove home at last. It was almost noon, and he knew he would have to face Danielle’s wrath. Maybe after listening to his explanation, she would calm down and give him a chance. Despite the exhaustion, a wave of excitement coursed through his body at the thought. Could he revive the magic they used to share? He longed to belong to her! He had changed drastically after she left him. Gone were his reckless ways, his arrogance, and dominating attitude. Instead, he had learned to trust, care and love selflessly. Without Danielle in his life, he had forgotten to groom himself. What was the use? Who would see him anyway? But now the wish to see the admiration for himself reflected in her eyes made him change his mind. He needed to fix himself for her! He parked the car in his driveway and walked up to a quiet house. With two hyperactive kids together after so long, it was strange indeed. Had they gone somewhere? He unlocke

The dim lights around her lulled Danielle back to sleep. She was sure she was still dreaming. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she laid her head on his shoulder. In the dream, at least he was hers! The tears rolled down her cheeks as she tightened her hold on him, unable to let him go. At least she could hold on to him in her dreams!Knox felt tears prick at his eyes, too. Unknown to her, he had slipped out of the bedroom when he realized she hadn’t joined him. Seeing her curled up on the sofa with tears in her eyes made his heart ache for what he had destroyed between them. If only he could fix everything! If only he could get her to himself! He would beg for her forgiveness and plead with her to give him another chance. The feel of her soft body against his heart stirred the emotions he had thought he had buried long back. It felt heavenly to hold her again! She had grown more curvy than before and it made him lose his mind. Motherhood suited her! She had matured so elegantly!

Danielle’s heart skipped a beat at his explanation. All she could think was Knox was free. He wasn’t married as she had thought. So could she hope? “Oh! Why didn’t you tell me before?” Her cheeks flushed with color and she got up to clear the table. Her reaction bowled Knox over. “You didn’t ask me directly. Now you know I’m crazy about you, always was, and always will be! So, what have you thought about going home with me?” She nodded and went to the kitchen with her heart thumping wildly in her chest. She had never expected Knox to like her back! If he was so crazy about her, why did he hurt her? This was a question only Knox could answer. She couldn’t ask him now and disrupt the cordial relationship between them. She was tired of fighting with him. He followed her into the kitchen to help her. “So, is it a yes or no? Will you come home with me?” He hovered around her, staring at her with hooded eyes. She was acutely aware of his gaze wandering all over her. “Yes.” Knox couldn’t
