Old Places, Old Faces

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE The drive back was quiet. Ethan kept his eyes on the road, both hands on the steering wheel. Daniella stared at him for a while, then looked outside the window. The silence between them was thick and uncomfortable. She let out a small sigh, then turned her head toward him again. "Is that bar still around?" she asked softly. "The one we went to that last time... I think it was two years ago. Just down this road." Ethan remembered it, two years ago, when she had come visiting, Ethan had taken her there after dinner. They had laughed over a bottle of wine, talked about work, and even danced a little. It had been fun. But it was two days after that day that they broke up, calling off the engagement. Ethan didn’t look at her. “We’re not here for drinking.” Daniella smiled, gently placing a hand on his knee. “Come on, Ethan. Just a quick stop. It’s not a crime.” He didn’t flinch, didn’t move. “We’re taking you home." She chuckled, still caressing his knee li

Never a Good Option

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO She didn’t expect a voice behind her. “Maya?” She froze. That voice. Slowly, she turned, her spine stiffening the moment she saw him. Ryan. He stood a few steps away, wearing a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes, his shirt was slightly unbuttoned at the top. She stood up quickly, heart pounding. “I don’t want to talk to you,” she said under her breath and began to walk away. He followed her, picking up his pace. “Wait—i have been trying to explain to you. You don’t pick my calls. Did you block me or something?” Maya didn’t answer. “Maya!” His voice sharpened. She stopped and turned to face him, but not with warmth, only tiredness. “Please just leave me alone.” But instead of stepping back, Ryan suddenly grabbed her elbow. Harshly. His fingers locked around her arm, forcing her to face him. “Don’t you dare walk out on me!” he snapped. “Answer me!” Maya tried to pull free, but his grip was tight, painful. “Let go of me!” “No! You don’t get to tre

I Read It, Maya

Chapter 23 A sleek black car rolled up the driveway. The driver door swung open, and Ethan stepped out. Tall. Calm. Dangerously handsome. His black shirt clung to him in all the right places, his sleeves rolled slightly, showing the veins on his arms. His jaw clenched tight, and his eyes were locked on Jay like he could break him just by looking. Who’s that?” Jay asked under his breath. Maya took a deep breath. “That’s Ethan.” " Lily brother?" Maya nodded. Ethan walked over, slow and composed. His eyes didn’t leave Jay for a second. " And you are?" Ethan asked Jay as he reached them. " Hy, Ethan, am Jason" He replied. " He helped me at the bar, I ran into Ryan and he almost hurt me, but Jay here helped me." Maya put in. Ethan's eyes left Jay and centered on her fill with concern. " Are you hurt?" Maya shook her head quickly. “No. Jay stepped in before anything could happen.” Jay gave a small nod of acknowledgment, but Ethan didn’t return it. “Thank you,” Maya said to J

Fire in the Kitchen

CHAPTER 24 Maya woke up with a smile on her face. The kind that reached her eyes and refused to go away. Last night still felt like a dream. Ethan. His arms. His words. "I feel the same way. I always had, Maya." It echoed in her head like music. And for once, she didn’t need to push the feeling away. She rolled off the bed and walked to the bathroom humming, brushing her teeth with more energy than usual. A quick glance at the mirror showed her flushed cheeks and bright eyes and she giggled to herself. When she got to the kitchen, Lily was already slicing onions. "Good morning," Maya greeted. "You look... unusually happy this morning," Lily said, raising one brow. " Oh really?" Maya said trying to hide her excitement. Before Lily could say another word, the front door opened and a familiar structure stepped in. Daniella. Maya blinked. Was she here to aid in preparing breakfast just as she promised. “Daniella?, your early” Lily said, surprised. " Well, I promised I will

The Question Daniella Couldn't Let Go

CHAPTER 25: They led Mrs. Bennett to the couch and propped a pillow behind her.“Here, let’s get you comfortable first,” Maya said, guiding Mrs Bennett gently down. Daniella didn't assist in anything but just followed behind them.“I’m fine, girls,” Mrs. Bennett said, though she winced as she settled in. “It’s just a little burn.”Lily shook her head. “You need to rest. We’ll take care of the rest of breakfast.”“Yes, let’s go,” Maya nodded, standing.Daniella said nothing. She followed quietly, her gaze locked on Maya's back as they returned to the kitchen. .“What else is left?” Lily asked, rinsing a bowl at the sink.“Just slicing the fruits,” Maya replied Daniella finally moved, walking toward the countertop to grab the chopping board. But even as she sliced the fruits, her eyes still occasionally flew back to look at Maya, this Maya she saw today was different.Yesterday she looked unsure and ashamed, moved as if hiding something, but today she seemed too confident, something

The Pattern He Always Follows

CHAPTER 26: Maya kept flipping through the hangers. She couldn’t wait for the evening. Ethan had texted that he would be taking her and Lily out. Nothing fancy—just dinner.But she still wanted to look good , she might not be anything near Daniella but she could look beautiful too.She picked up a blue dress and held it against herself in front of the mirror. Then a white one. Then a soft beige. She couldn’t decide.Just as she reached for the hanger again, the door pushed open without a knock..Maya turned quickly, startled. Standing at the door was Daniella.She didn’t knock. She didn’t greet.She just stepped in, slowly, her eyes scanning the room as if she was searching for something or someone.Maya blinked. “Daniella?”Daniella finally stopped looking around and set her sharp eyes on Maya. “Relax,” she said, folding her arms. “I’m not here for drama.”Maya looked confused. “Then… what are you doing here?”“I don’t have much to say,” Daniella finally said, folding her arms. “Jus

The Call That Changed Everything

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN: Lily was folding her laundry with her headphones in, humming lightly to the music playing. She had separated her whites from colors and was now stacking them into neat piles on her bed. When her phone buzzed beside her.It was Daniella.Lily stared at the name for a full five seconds, frowning. When last did Daniella call her?, What did she want?.She didn’t pick up. Let it ring.But the phone rang again—this time, longer. Lily sighed and finally pulled one earbud out before answering. “Hello?”“Hi, Lily,” Daniella’s said.Lily didn’t bother with greetings. “What do you want to say Daniella?, we just met this morning, I’m busy.”There was a pause on the other end.“Well…” Daniella dragged the word slowly, like she was picking her next sentence carefully. “I just felt I should tell you something. Girl to girl.”Lily rolled her eyes, already irritated. “If it’s not important, Daniella, don’t waste my time.”“No, it’s important,” Daniella insisted. “It’s about Eth

What Have You Done?

CHAPTER 28Daniella stepped out of the house with a small smirk on her lips. She didn’t look back. She didn’t need to. Whatever Maya did with her face inside that room would speak louder than any words. Daniella was sure she had planted the seed of doubt—and trouble would follow.She walked slowly down the front steps. Her heart was lighter, as if she had just cleaned something dirty off her chest. The truth was, she didn’t care what happened next. She just needed Maya to be shaken. She needed someone—anyone—to feel the confusion and pain she was feeling.Just then, she noticed a guy standing across the street, staring at the house like he was waiting for someone. He looked like he had been standing there for a while. His hands were in his pockets, and he had a serious expression on his face.Curious, Daniella walked over to him. “Waiting for someone?” she asked casually.The guy turned to look at her. Taken aback by her beauty. He had a sharp jawline, deep-set eyes, and wore a dark b

Never Give Up

CHAPTER 29: Ethan didn’t wait another minute.He found Daniella standing in front of the gate, her arms folded tightly, as if she had been waiting for him. The expression on his face was cold, almost unreadable, but his eyes burned with frustration.“What did you do?” he asked sharply, stepping closer to her.Daniella blinked at him, pretending not to understand.“I just told the truth,” she said with a shrug, trying to sound calm. “Is that now a crime?”Ethan's jaw tightened. “You’ve caused a confusion. You said things you had no right to say. You know exactly what you were doing Daniella and what you wanted from it, but that was not your place.”Daniella rolled her eyes and gave a small bitter laugh. “I was only setting things straight, Ethan. I was trying to open your eyes. Can’t you still yet see it? Can’t you feel it? I still care about you.”He took a step back from her, raking his hands in his hair.“I’ve never stopped thinking about you,” she continued, her voice softer now.

He will be mine

Chapter 30 Daniella stepped out of the cab in front of her hotel. Her heels clicked against the tiled floor as she walked toward the entrance. The evening breeze blew softly, brushing strands of her long blonde hair across her face.Standing near the lobby entrance was her personal bodyguard, Eric. He had been waiting. When he saw her coming alone, a wave of guilt washed over him. He hated himself for letting her go without him. But she had ordered him to stay behind. And when Daniella gave an order, it was final.She looked down as she passed him."Ma’am... are you okay?" Eric asked, worry clear in his voice.She didn’t reply. Not even a nod. She walked straight past him like he didn’t exist. Eric followed slowly behind, giving her space but staying close enough if she needed anything.Inside the room, Daniella slammed the door behind her. The loud thud echoed around the hotel suite.She dropped her purse on the floor, kicked off her heels, and walked slowly to the large king-sized
