Chapter 9: Chapter 9

Kira's pov

I got to the reception and turned around, stopping and sniffing.

"Why do you have to follow me around? Why?

What have I done again?" I shouted.

"Kira, please listen. Let's go inside and talk." He tried to touch me but I jerked his hand off.

'What could he have done to make the lady cry like this?'

'Who knows if he hurt her in the past already'

Everyone began murmuring.

"What do you want to say? Than, kira forgive me for what I did to you. That's all what you're going to say.

And don't think I'm going to forgive you. I'm not!" I yelled.

"Kira, if you go, wha....what about the job? You won't be working here?"

Daniel said and I felt like slapping him.

"I don't care about the job anymore. I don't wanna see your face not to talk of being your P.A. I hate you! I hate you from the bottom of my heart. Monster!!" I sniffed and marched out of the reception.

A hand grabbed me and pulled me.

"What!? Can you just stop all this and leave me alone? I wanna live a peaceful life without you interfering into it." I tried to removed my hand from his hand.

His touch irritates me.

"Kira," Tears run down his cheeks as he stared at me.

Those fake tears!

"I'm sorry for what I did to you. I didn't mean to hurt you. I swear, I didn't. I just did it cause....." He paused, his eyes were interpreting many things I don't understand.

"I was craving for your body and I made a bet that I'm going to sleep with you." He bit his lip.

"But I'm regretting. Kira, I know the reasons why I did that to you was lame. I'm sorry, please forgive me."

I laughed. Oh! An empty laughter.

"Daniel, you really surprised me. You f*cking betrayed the trust I have for you as a friend." I poked him on his chest.

"You were merciless when I begged for mercy. You were cold when I begged you softly.

You were laughing when I begged you crying.

Daniel, you mocked me when I stood up in shame and pain. What if this happen to your sister, what will you do?"

"Kira..........." I cut him off

"Don't say a word. Else, everyone is going here about this. Wait! I should let them know that their new CEO is a rapist."

I scoffed.

"You made me suffer so much. You made me go through hell," I hit him with the bag In my hand.

"Have struggled enough. I thought I'm going to be happy again. Happy forever. But you just suddenly showed up."

He went on his knees immediately, not minding the staffs that was watching.

He got hold of my leg and bursted into fresh tears.

"Forgive me, Kira. Forgive me and I won't come your way again. Fate will keep bringing us back if you don't forgive me."

"Damn fate itself! Fate is so cruel to have bring us again. And me forgiving you, I don't know yet. But I will make you suffer a lot.

You will suffer that you won't be able to bear it. Yes,you won't." I removed my leg from his grip and left the building.

Today was supposed to be one of the happiest day of my life but no, it's the worst day of my life.

I boarded a cab and went home and dropped my bag on the couch.

"Why's my life such a mess? Why can't I just do something without me seeing him? Why?" I cried out.

**

My phone rang and I took it from my bag. It Emily calling.

"Kira! What did you do in the company today?" Her voice rang out from the phone.

"Emily! Why can't I live peacefully without him? Without me seeing him? He's always the cause of everything."

"Kira," She cooed.

"I don't have anything to say but to accept that job. Yeah, you need to take that job. Just look at your kids. You told me they were so happy cause you got a job.

Do you want them to get sad? You need the money to take care of yourself, your kids and other important things."

"Seriously, you really need that job. So, it's better you go back there and say yes to that job. You can just try to avoid Daniel." She added.

I sighed.

"Today's a bad day. I'll go tomorrow. I just need to cry out my eyes today." I replied.

"Your choice. Just take that job and try to ignore Daniel."

"Thank you, Emily."

"You're welcome. I gotta go"

I just have to take the job.

At noon, I went to take my children at school and we all ate lunch.

"Mom, how's work today?" Rhian asked.

"Work is fine." I feigned a smile.

"You look sad. Did you cry again?" Ryan pouted.

"Of course not! Why will I cry? Don't need to be worried about me." I patted his shoulder.

At night, we all went to our room and slept off.

Next day,

I woke up as usual, i bathed my kids and got them ready for school. I dressed in a blue gown and black shoes.

"Just pray that fool won't cross my path." I muttered.

I dropped my kids off and went straight to company.

I breathed in and out.

"Please, is Mr Walter in the office?" I asked the receptionist.

"No. Only his son."

"Are you not the woman he was chasing yesterday?" She asked and I rolled my eyes.

"Face your business!" I replied, curtly.

"Sorry." She kept quiet.

I walked to the office and knocked on the door.

"Come in" Came a weak-like voice from inside.

It's really Daniel. Why's he just appearing everywhere.

Why can't I do anything without.

"Kira!" He beamed and rushed to meet me but i stopped him halfway.

I don't wanna shed tears In front of him. I wanna make him see that I'm still that weak woman he used to know.

But I just can't help it.

"Daniel......."My voice shook and I swallowed.

"I'm here to take the job your dad gave me. Please, don't think of crossing my path or trying to ask forgive........."

"I know. Your office is beside mine." He answered and tried to touch me but i glared at him.

I marched out of his office and entered the new office he said about.

The telephone rang and I quickly picked it.

"Yes?" I arched my brow.

"Bring Lorena's files to me." Daniel's voice came up.

God!

"Okay." And i quickly ended the call.

I searched for Lorena's files on the table and finally found it.

I took them to him, dropped it on his table and turned to leave.

"Ki..." He tried to call my name but I already left the office in a hurry.

Working for him is really a bad idea though. Working for someone who raped you. But I just have to endure it.

Throughout the day, I avoided Daniel when he tried to talk to me.

We closed by 2pm and I went straight to my children's school since they will be closing by that same 2pm.

I took them home and started cooking lunch.

Then, I heard a knock on the door. That could be Emily.

I hurriedly went to open it and saw the bastard at my door.

"Wha....what are you doing here?" I half yelled.

His eyes gazed down at my hand and I traced it. I was holding a knife.

"Kira," He said and went on his knees again.

"Mummy!! Rhian bit my hand!" Ryan's voice could be heard.

I felt their presence behind me and I turned to them.

"Mom, this is the man who gave us money and ice cream." Ryan chuckled but frowned.

"Why's he kneeling down in front of momma?"

He asked.

"You two should go inside. Your presence isn't needed here." I told the kids.

Daniel looked up to me then the kids and back at me.

He narrowed his gaze at me and asked,

"Are they my children?" He got up and moved close to Rhian and Ryan.

He bent down and hugged them. I bit my lip, trying not to cry.

"Tell your mom to forgive me." He said to them.

"Mom? Did you do any bad thing to her?" Ryan blinked.

"Yes."

"Go inside the two of you." I took them away from Daniel and urged them to go inside.

"Daniel, you have to leave now! Leave or I will do something I'll regret." I stretched the knife to him.

I'm not planning to kill but to just go away from here. How did he even know this place?

Daniel sniffed and held the hand holding the knife and raised it up to his neck.

What's he doing?
