Just One Night

15. Breaking it off for good

Daniel

When I wake up from the beautiful dream of Sarah and me, I can tell I have a satisfied smile on my face. Nothing but happiness.

I look at my empty bed. A smile crosses my face again.

In the bathroom. I smile at my wicked thought.

Another moment I make my way naked towards the bathroom.

Off to get breakfast for both of us to surprise me.

I wander off a bit arranging my stuff in the vanity bag. Later I take a bath and get ready. When I don't find her back in the room, distress creeps into me.

I pick up my phone to call her. But my eyes scan the read messages. She read the messages from Alicia.

We both know what we were to do. It didn't matter a bit then. We were too passionate and forgetful. Every baggage I have just vanish away when I am with her. She doesn't fake with me because of my stature. She is a natural and I like that about her.

My eyes go through the messages again and everything comes to me again.

What would happen if I broke this alliance?

I am scared.

And I wish I hadn't met Sarah. Because my arrangement was working just fine. I was to marry Alicia and do whatever the fuck I want. Do whoever the fuck I liked.

All the fight in me came from her. But it didn't see any breakthrough.

Where am I again?
Doing what my father wants and constantly spiralling between my wishes and his commands.

I can't think properly.

But then you have to come.
And be nice to me.

What if I didn't fight for you and you are the one for me?

It's only my loss.

But I can never be sure, because I have to marry Alicia Brooklyn.

I should probably get to the office and work. Make my brother happy who claims to care for me. What if he knows what's best for me?

So doing the best with my job will only benefit me and keep me from thinking about Sarah.

Why does she always walk away from me?

Why she left me?

How can I make myself believe that she cares and not become Alicia shortly

Stop it, Daniel. Stop it. Stop thinking.

"Mr Coaster, Miss Alicia has already directed about this particular. Would you like me to proceed as asked by you?" Rey asks me as he follows me towards my office-my space.

"My way it is," I announce. It's going that way now after my arrangement with Alicia.

My father and my brother had been the decider of my fate for so long that it feels forever.

This place, this company feels like my wish- freedom and power.

I am going to marry Alicia but I am not letting her take away Daniela. inc from me.

It wouldn't be easy with her parents involved in our work but I will have to manage. Earlier Daniela. inc was supposed to be just Alicia and me but since our breakup, they had me in knots.

I am going to make it my penny-for-penny. I had given it my soul, not Alicia. It revolved around my spirit. Since our last engagement was called off when I found out about Alicia's betrayal, I distanced myself from my soul- Daniela. Inc. But now I will make it all mine.
