Chapter 20: Chapter 20

Daniel's pov

I sighed frustratedly and crouched down beside my car. I'm in a mess right now. Isn't it?

Of course I am.

I thought of what Nina said the other time. She's really bent on having me. I don't want to harm Kira again or even the kids. I don't want anything to happen to them.

I don't want to see them suffering just because of me. I'm still trying to ask for Kira's forgiveness but here's Nina again.

I don't know what's just wrong with my life again. I still need to ask for Kira's forgiveness.

With a deep sign, I got up and walked inside. Seeing the kids watching TV, I sat down with them.

"Dad, do you like watching cartoon?" Ryan questioned and answered with a nod.

"Yes. I love tom and jerry the most." I replied.

"Huh? Tom and jerry? That's quite good. You aren't like mommy. She's old school." Ryan chuckled.

"She doesn't like watching cartoon. But she loves Chinese movies." I told Ryan.

"Chinese?? Those chu-chu-chan-chan? Gosh! Rhian, mom doesn't even like American movies instead she chooses chun-chun movies."

I laughed hard at what Ryan said. These kids are so funny. I can't imagine being without them.

Kira came in later, after cooking. As soon as she set the table, I announced that I was leaving.

"Dad, you aren't going to eat with us?" Rhian whined.

"No, daddy has something to do. Bye. I will see you another time." My words were in a rush.

"Bye, dad." They chorused. I raised my head up to see Kira. She was so busy serving the meal to the kids.

"Goodbye, Kira." I managed to utter.

"Goodbye." She muttered, still didn't take a glance at me.

I made my way out of the house and drove home.

"Daniel!! I thought you're going to use all day in that house." Amanda squealed.

"I wish." I replied.

"Okay. I was thinking its high time you tell mom and dad the truth. Cause they've been disturbing me on what you did with Kira. What makes you cry in the night and all that.

Actually, I should have tell them but I want you to say it with your own mouth. Daniel, let's tell them. They might do something. It seems Kira can't forgive you easily like that." Amanda said and I took a deep breath before I answered her.

"Amy, I'm going to tell them but not now. I just need some time to think. I'm having another problem right now." I grunted and walked into my room.

Kira's pov

"Awwn! I'm coming right now. Just pray I won't get lost coming to your place." Emily giggled.

"Just tell the driver where you're going. You won't get lost."

"Okay, I'm coming."

"Mom, you aren't going to watch cha-cha-chun-chun? I want to watch a Chinese movie with you." Rhian squealed and sat beside me.

Ryan was sleeping already.

"No, I'm not. I don't feel like watching them again. Maybe I will later, but not now." I answered.

"Mom, why aren't you and daddy living together? Did dad have another wife?"

"Rhian, you can't understand. I don't know if your dad has a wife or girlfriend and I don't care. But the fact that he'd be taking his responsibilities in you and Ryan's life, thats good for me." I responded.

"Can you two ever be together forever?"

"Rhian, you need to stop asking these questions. It's making me feel uneasy." I frowned at her but then, I put on a smiling face.

"I don't think we can be together, darling." I answered.

**

Rhian slept on the couch and I took her to the room. Emily came afterwards, she was squealing around, exclaiming and doing some crazy stuffs.

"Are you sure Daniel rented a house for you?" She arched a brow.

"Yes, he did. Well, not because of me but the kids." I said.

"You know, I'm actually thinking of this. What if your children might be the one to bring you two together. Make you forgive him and.......let me keep the last word into my pocket." She moved her left hand to her mouth then to her trouser pocket.

"The children can't bring the two of us together. Do you mean best friends again?" I creased.

"Uhh.....no. Another one." She itched her hair.

"I mean, lovers"

I burst into laughter. "What?" I uttered.

"That can't be possible." I shook my head. Not believing Emily could say something like this.

"I know. I'm just saying that. You still haven't thought of forgiving him yet?" Emily inquired.

"Yes. I don't know if I should forgive him or not. Seriously, it's hard to forgive a monster like him. But sometimes, I pity him anytime I see him."

"Kira, I think you should just let go of the past. He, asking for forgiveness from you means something. Who knows if he has been in bondage for the past five years. Remember how you cursed him that night. He will never hae peace." Said Emily, as she reminded me of that day.

"He will never have peace. Am saying this with tears and pain. He will never ever have peace.

He will regret doing this to me." Yes, I remembered.

"He didn't really have peace and that's why he's asking for forgiveness?" I asked.

"Its obvious, Kira. Really obvious that the curse you lay on him the other day, came to pass." Emily shrugged.

"He suffered too. You know I still don't want to say now. I will decided when to forgive him. No one can bring us back together again. Not even our children." I said.

"You can never tell. Anyway, I will be going now. Oops! I didn't tell you I got a boyfriend." She grinned.

"A boyfriend?? I'm so happy for you. Is he cute?"

"Yes. Not only cute but handsome." Emily giggled.

"Awwn! My prayers has been answered. I'd prayed you won't die single."

"I can never die single. I'm just waiting for Mr right." She winked, before going out and i followed her. Then, she took a cab home.

Next day, I woke up hale and hearty and did the usuals. I dropped the kids off and went to my office.

Thankfully, Daniel hasn't come yet. I saw some new files on the table and a small note.

'The files are to be taken to Zack's enterprises for his signature.' Says the note.

Why Zack's enterprises? That flirt? Who even sent this letter?

I got up and packed the files. Then, I marched out of the office and fortunately, I met Daniel on the way. But unfortunately again, The bitch was squealing over him. Nina.

"Daniel, did you send this or someone did?" I asked, ignoring the glares Nina was giving me.

"Witch!" She mumbled.

"Let me see." Daniel took the note from my hand and read the note. "Don't go. I will send the secretary myself." He replied.

"You don't have to, Daniel. I can manage. Besides, it's my job."

"No, it isn't your job. I thought I already sent Olivia to do that." He palmed his face.

"Maybe she misunderstood or Zack wants me to come myself. I can go myself."

"Daniel, let her go. She said she can go herself." Nina chipped in, her body were almost over Daniel's body and I could see he was uncomfortable.

"Nina just stop all this okay? Kira, you know Zack Is kind of cunning. He can........" Daniel uttered.

"I know." I didn't let him say any other thing before walking away from them.

Yeah, I think Zack is kind of cunning. But I just have to give him the files to sign and leave thats all. Zack is really up to something and I know that.

I got out of the building and boarded a cab to Zack's enterprises.

I entered the building and asked for his office and I was shown.

"Come in." His loud voice like that of a speaker came out when I knocked on the door.

"Good morning." I smiled as I walked in.

His face which was down was raised up and he beamed.

"Miss Kira?" He asked.

"Yes. I'm just here for you to sign this files." I said, sharply and placed the files on his table.

He chuckled and got up from his swivel chair. Taking steps closer to me, my heart skipped. First, he smells alcohol. Secondly, his lustful eyes are digging holes inside me now.

"I should have let that girl bring the files but I decided to choose you. You aren't just his date but you work for him" He whispered.

"I'm still wondering if you two are dating." He added.

"How's that your business? Just sign these files and let me go." I pushed my face back when I saw his face close to Mine.

"And what if I don't?" He grabbed my arm and pushed me to the table.

Okay, I think this isn't right.

"Just a taste of you. Won't that be good? Huh? Don't you understand body language?" He chided and grabbed my neck tight.

I think I made a mistake by coming here. I can't just get raped the second time.
