Chapter 16: Chapter 16

Daniels P.O.V

I came out of the meeting room and closed the door behind me, leaning back on it. What the hell had I done? I clutched my palm in anger, as I listened to her continuously cry because of me. I punched the wall again in anger at the thought of everything I had just done to her.

I can not believe I told her that I would fuck her, I had made her so afraid of me that she would probably hate me forever. I had confessed my love for her, but the only thing I could see in her eyes was fear, she was terrified of me and I could not blame her. I wanted her to remember me and see the love in her eyes for me, but all I saw was fear and confusion. I could have fucked her there and then if I wanted to and she could not have stopped me, but when I saw her tears and her eyes, I stopped myself.

I reached out and gently ran my fingers down the door, listening to Sara cry and I wanted to go in there and comfort her straight away, but Jacob, my secretary came forward and stood in front of me.

Jacobs P.O.V

I saw Daniel standing outside the meeting room and he looked crazy, not caring if anyone saw him or not. I saw blood dripping from his hand and knew that he had been alone with Sarah inside the meeting room, but I dare not say anything.

I had seen first hand the craziness that Daniel had for Sara, but he had found her now and it was making him even crazier for her. I stood in front of him, just looking at him when he suddenly stood up straight and touched the door.

“I will show you Sara, you are mine and mine alone,'' Daniel said, his voice filled with determination, anger, and pain. He turned around and faced me, nodded, and started walking away from the meeting room.

I saw that we were approaching the group of employees that had been gossiping earlier outside the meeting room and I just prayed to god that for their sake, Daniel had not heard what they had been saying about his beloved Sara, but by the look of pure hatred he gave them he had and was memorizing their faces for a later date.

I watched as they saw us coming and they all bowed their heads to Daniel, but the only thing his eyes held were anger and hatred for each and every single one of them. They all looked scared and confused, not knowing what they had done to piss him off, but they would soon find out what Daniel had planned for them. I had seen it many times before, when others had incurred his wrath, but this time was different and worse, they had called Sara a whore and insulted her.

I knew it was already over for them and I did not feel sorry in the slightest for them. I slowly walked by them and they looked up to Daniel who had murderous eyes pointed towards them. It always amazed me how with just a look Daniel could bring fear to everyone and I think that all of them knew deep down that something big was going to happen, they just didn't know what, when, or why. The whole office went silent as we walked through, some were looking directly at the trail of blood Daniel was leaving behind as he walked, knowing that he had hurt himself.

“Sir, your hand is bleeding,” I said, but Daniel just looked at it and wrapped a handkerchief around it. I saw his face and he did not look like he was in pain anymore, but there was another emotion spread on his face, one that I could not place. Daniel was still walking and when I looked up I saw that he was heading to the exit, he was going to leave.

“Sir, you have a meeting in half an hour,” I informed him, but all Daniel did was look down at his hurt hand. It was obvious that he had hurt it because of Sara, but I dare not ask him anything about it because I did not want to die. I have been working for Daniel for the past five years and I knew all too well how angry and possessive he could be, but despite working for him for all those years I was still afraid of him. I watched as Daniel's hands balled into fists and I took two steps back from him, out of his reach.

“Okay sir, I will cancel the meeting,” I said, understanding the meaning of his silence.

“Jacob….” Daniel said, causing me to stop in my tracks and look at him. Daniel looked at the door to the meeting room and went silent for a few seconds.

“Do not let anyone enter that room. It is your responsibility and if anyone tries to fuck with my order then expel them from the company. Do you understand?” Daniel commanded, looking back at me.

“Yes sir.” I quickly replied and went to stand by the meeting room door, watching as Daniel left through the exit. Something is definitely wrong with him, but what? My phone started to ring and when I took it out of my pocket I saw that it was Jackson, but Daniel had already left. How was I going to explain this to him?

Daniels P.O.V

I knew that I could trust Jacob, he was loyal to me, and he also feared me which was a good combination to ensure that he would never betray me. I had finally reached the parking lot and got to my car, where the driver stood and held the back door open for me.

I did not get in and instead held my hand out, gesturing for him to give me the keys. The driver gave me the keys, but he looked confused as I got into the driver's seat and closed the door, locking it and driving away. I knew that none of my bodyguards would dare follow me, especially after seeing my face, they knew when to keep their distance from me.

I was driving at full speed hearing the echoes of Sara's crying in my head and seeing those innocent eyes of hers, innocent eyes that would forever haunt me. I slammed on the brakes and punched the dashboard, unable to control my anger anymore.

I rested my head on the steering wheel trying to calm myself down and thinking about how she kept trying to push me away. I wanted to hate her, I wanted to punish her, but I could not stop myself from kissing her. My phone had been ringing ever since I got into the car, but I just kept ignoring it and when I looked over I saw who had been trying to call me, it was Jackson. I took a deep breath and tapped the button on the blue tooth in my ear, unable to put this call off any longer.

“Hello,” I answered, trying to make my voice sound normal, I do not know why I bothered trying when Jackson was an expert in listening to voices.

“Wow….you seem very angry,” Jackson replied, but I knew he had already talked to Jacob and I couldn't blame Jacob for telling him what had gone on, Jackson was an expert in extracting information.

“What happened? Did the woman not fuck you to your liking last night? Do you want me to send you another woman? I'll send her to your house tonight, believe me, this is the best fuck woman, and she will make you feel so good that you will be in heaven.” Jackson jokingly said, trying to ease my anger. Jackson and I were childhood friends, and he knew exactly what made me happy and what made me mad.

“No, don't send another woman to my home, I'm not in the mood,” I replied, I knew Jackson would be worried by what I just said, but it was the truth.

“Daniel where are you? When I asked your secretary he said that you had left the office. Please don't tell me that you left without your bodyguards?” Jackson asked me and I could hear him grabbing his jacket and running out of wherever he was.

“It's okay, I'm okay. You don't have to come,” I quickly said, but then I heard him start his car up and shut the door.

“Don't go anywhere and meet me at the place. I am on my way.” Jackson said and immediately put the phone down before I had a chance to reply and try to stop him. I closed my eyes, tossing my phone behind me onto the back seat, and just tried to relax for a bit before being bombarded with questions from Jackson.

After a while, I started the car again and drove off heading towards the shopping mall. It took a while, but as soon as I pulled into the parking lot I saw Jackson leaning on the boot of his car wearing his sunglasses. As always he had a handsome smile on his face and attracted too much attention, which wasn't hard as he was always recognised for being in the top five wealthiest men along with me. I parked my car and tried to put a normal face on before getting out and seeing Jackson face to face.

“When did you get back? How come you did not let me know.” Jackson asked and pulled me into a hug. I had been out of the country for three months, but I did not bother to let him know and just nodded. Jackson must have noticed that I was trying too hard to keep a normal expression on my face because his smile soon turned into a frown when he looked at me.

“Did you come back here because you found her?” Jackson asked me, as we started to walk into the shopping mall.

Jacksons P.O.V

Daniel was acting ever so weird and it could only be for one reason and one reason alone, it was her. He did not answer my question and instead just silently walked into the shopping mall, leaving me to have to catch up to him. I understood why he was acting like this, I have seen his strange behaviour before and I didn't like it one bit.

“DANIEL STOP!” I shouted and Daniel stopped, but he did not turn around and look at me.

“Please tell me, did you really find her? Is she the reason that you came back?” I asked him and I saw the craziness that I had seen before in his eyes, it was only for Sara.

I looked down and saw that his hand was hurt, I could see the blood seeping through the handkerchief he had wrapped around it. He must have gone crazy to come out without any security, he had no one, not his bodyguards, not even his secretary and this would soon become hot news if he was seen by anyone.

The most important thing was if his father ever came to know of it, then he was going to make a big deal of it. I kept my eyes on Daniel, but the more I looked at him the more I could see the pain and hurt in his eyes, he looked broken and it was all because of Sara.

“Please Daniel, you have to stop this, you have to forget about her, you are only hurting yourself. Maybe the others were right and it is just your imagina….” I started to say, only to be cut off by daniel.

“Jackson…..” Daniel started to say and then stopped, looking down at the ground and then back to me.

“I found her…” Daniel said, leaving me completely shocked. He had found her, he had really found Sara.

Daniels P.O.V

For the last six months, I have searched high and low for Sara, it was as if I was possessed or something, I never stopped searching and I even went to a few small places on my own without security. I did not care about my image.

The only thing I cared about was Sara, but I couldn't find her. I had gone crazy for her and had stopped paying attention to my health and everything around me, I had even stopped eating, I was so consumed with her. When my family and friends came to know about it they all turned around and said that it was all in my imagination, that I was dreaming it and that she was not real, she did not exist in this world, but I never gave up. I wasn't ready to accept that and I was glad I didn't give up, otherwise, I never would have found her.

“But how? When?” Jackson asked me, still looking shocked at my revelation.

“I told you she was not in my imagination, Jackson. My Sara exists in this world,” I said and Jackson jumped on me, he was so happy that he nearly stopped me from breathing, he was hugging me that tightly.

“Finally, you found your love. I am so happy for you Daniel.” Jackson said, letting me go and a huge smile spread across my face, love he called Sara my love. It had been so hard trying to get everyone to stop saying that she was just a figment of my imagination that I just stopped trying and now I can prove to all of them once and for all that she is real and she is mine.

"Now you are smiling, you bastard. I have been dying to see you smile for the last six months, but now that she has come into your life, you smile," Jackson said, making my smile even wider. We carried on walking and Jackson looked confused when he saw me enter a woman's clothing store.

I looked around and my eyes immediately landed on the dress that was on the display dummy, I walked straight to it and reached out, feeling the material. Jackson took a seat and looked at me as if I had gone crazy. He never asked me why I came in here because it was obvious I was buying clothes for Sara. I never cared about anyone like this, Sara was the only one and he knew it.

Jackson's P.O.V

I knew he was imagining Sara in that dress and I had to stop the employees from going near him, if anyone disturbed him when he was thinking of Sara, then they were going to lose their job. Daniel bought two dresses and was holding the bag possessively because it was Sara’s clothes. We both left from there and as we reached the parking lot, I decided to question him further, something was not quite right and I needed to get to the bottom of it.

“But when did you come back?” I asked Daniel and saw that he was carefully placing the clothes on the passenger seat as if it was a diamond.

“When I saw Sara at a business party,” Daniel replied, closing the door of the car and I gave him a shocked look.

“So you are trying to say that you saw her at a business party and she did not recognize you? But you left everything in behind, your company, your parents everything for her and came here. You bought the share of that company only for Sara?!” I asked him, but Daniel was looking at his phone.

Daniel's P.O.V

It had been more than half an hour since I left Sara alone in the room and I desperately wanted to go back.

“Yes, you are right,” I said and was about to sit in the car, but Jackson stopped me.

“But how can you love her? Do you think she loves you?” Jackson said and I stopped as soon as I heard Jackson say that. I looked towards my ring on my hand and Jackson immediately regretted saying this to me.

"It does not matter if she loves me or not. I love her, Jackson. Sara is mine and only mine. I can not stop my love for her." I replied and Jackson kept his hand on my shoulders.

“It is painful to see, when you love someone and that person does not love you back. How will you bear it?” Jackson said and his voice was full of sadness. He was not able to see me like this. I smiled and Jackson saw my possession and obsession towards Sara.

“I know it is painful but it is too late now. I have crossed all the limits for her and I can not let her go." I replied, but Jackson looked like he wanted to slam his own head after hearing me. He knew I became an animal over my belongings and Sara was mine. I could bear any pain for her, but Jackson looked like a bolt of lightning hit his mind as he listened to me.

“Daniel…” Jackson asked, his confidence was too low as he said this to me.

“Don’t tell me, you are going to force her. You are planning revenge on her. You will break her completely because she forgot you. She will not be able to bear your possessiveness. No one could stand in front of your possessiveness. You will destroy her with your darkness,” Jackson said to me, fear evident in his voice.

“Sara is the only girl who pulled me out of my darkness. I humiliated her. I made her cry today and I tried hard to hate her, but I lost. I lost because of my heart.” I replied and again looked at my ring.

“But…” Jackson started to say but stopped when he saw my eyes had changed and had become dangerous.

“I will make her fall in love with me. If she tries to run away from me this time, then I will destroy her completely." I replied, driving off to my office building and leaving Jackson being with his jaw wide open.
