Chapter 47: Chapter 47

Daniel, as expected, stayed at Yazahib's house, it is clear that he has power over his daughter. Derek supported Daniel and advised her to stay with Yazahib, after all he will take care of her.

Daniel sighed and opened his eyes, Yazahib won't let her do anything and that's frustrating for her. He scolds her if she steps off the bed without his permission.

"What are you doing in bed?" Daniel frowned at the sight of him next to her. The deal is that he sleeps in the guest room, no contact.

"I can't sleep having you close and not sleeping next to you." Daniel got very angry at his words.

"You slept without me for four months, Yazahib, four bloody months, what is this about?" Yazahib looked into her eyes. She is really very angry. "You don't understand that I'm with Derek and I'm not going to hurt him?"

Anger grew in Yazahib, “you're sorry, Daniel. You're hurting him by being with him and loving me.” Daniel almost complained knowing it's true, but how is she going to leave Derek and go back to Yazahib? What will people say if she does that? They will hate her much more and she does not want them to hate her.

"He doesn't suffer because I don't love you,” she turned her back on him and Yazahib's heart ached.

Annoyed that she told him a blatant lie, he turned her onto her back and placed himself on top of her, “why lie like that? Why are you fooling yourself like that?” He slowly brought his lips to hers and kissed her desperately. It's the first time he had kissed her in four months and she really needs that kiss.

Daniel moaned when she felt those lips that she missed a lot, without being able to resist, she reciprocated the kiss. She needs him too and missed him a lot, but being aware of her relationship with Derek she pushed him away from her. "Don't do it Yazahib, I'm with Derek and I remind you that you left me. I didn't cheat on you and I'm not going to cheat on him,” she yelled, annoyed.

"And I regret that! I was angry Daniel, you lied to me and played with me,” Yazahib pulled away, “I wanted to go back to you the next day after I left, I was still in Colombia. But then Caroline called me and sent me a video of you where you were dancing on a damn stage.”

Daniel's heart stopped instantly and she remembered the day Caroline saw her, she had promised to keep the secret, why did she believe her? "Yazahib I ..." she didn't know what to say.

"What would you have done if I had cheated on you for months? Not only did you cheat on me with the pills, but you also danced and you always lie me, tell me Daniel. Wasn't it my right to walk away to think things over? What is my fault for believing that everything I lived with you was a lie?” Daniel wanted to cry, all this time she has been the culprit of Yazahib's absence and now she is guilty of being with his best friend.

"But if we were able to talk" she looked at him with tears in her eyes "if you were able to answer my calls, my messages and emails… we could fix it."

“How? I was very angry, Daniel, I was broken, my heart ached and my sadness was infinite. Every day without you was a punishment and I always wonder why should I suffer so much if she was the one who lied to me? And the answer is clear. I suffered a lot because my heart loves you and my soul longs for you whenever I am away from you,” Yazahib wiped Daniel's tears with the back of his hand, “it's not too late to fix things. If you really want me to forgive you, come back to me and let me be by your side and be there for you and my daughter.”

Daniel felt her heart bled with guilt, she never believed that she could hurt Yazahib, she never did. "But there's Derek, I ... I can't do this to him." Yazahib got up angry and desperate, "please understand me ... he was there for me. He accepted and supported me to stay here with you.”

"He accepted it because he knows you love me and the best option for you is me, that's why he accepted it. Daniel, your place is with me, your life and that of our daughter is with me. Realize that please, accept that you love me and that you want to be with me,” looking at her for the last time he went to the bathroom.

Daniel cried because of the guilt that she now feels for Derek, how can she hurt two people who love her so much? Oh, if only she hadn't lied to Yazahib in the first place she would be happy with her pregnancy and with the man she loves.

Not only is she in the middle of a war, but she also knows that her heart beats for Yazahib and it won't take long to force her to listen to him and when that happens, Derek will get hurt.

"Where are you going?" Daniel sat up when she saw him in his work suit. Yazahib did not leave the house in recent days to take care of her, but now he is so angry that it is better to go to work to occupy his mind.

"I'm going to work, I must get my life back here,” he leaned down and kissed Daniel's belly. "Daddy loves you honey, Daddy will always be here, I promise." Daniel felt happy to hear him talk like that to the baby. She always enjoys him doing that because her baby starts to move.

"Okay," Daniel wanted to kiss him but she didn't, she can't betray Derek, never.

"Please don't get out of bed," Yazahib looked at her and wanted to kiss her madly like he always do before going to work, but will she reciprocate? He didn't want to risk it, “Patricia and the employees will give you everything you need, just call and please, eat well. I'll tell Patricia to bring breakfast up,” he walked to the door.

"Yazahib," he stopped when he heard her voice, his heart began to pound, will she ask him to stay with her? He wondered excitedly.

Daniel thought about asking him to stay, she really wants him to stay and pamper her like the last days. But with what right will she ask him that when she told him before that she will not leave Derek? "Take care," she said finally, breaking all of Yazahib's emotions and desires.

He nodded and left the room only to lean against the door and close his eyes as he held back the urge to go in and demand that she leave Derek and just love him.

Daniel lay down on the bed and shed tears, why is she such a coward? Why does she think so much about what others would say? Why doesn't she just talk to Derek and tell him that she really wants and loves Yazahib? She is a bad person, that is the conclusion that she has of herself, she is a bad person for hurting others.
