Chapter 1 ANOTHER SECRET NIGHT
As Maria walked up the stairs, the sound of her heels distracted Danielle from his work, his love for her knew no bounds, he even knew the sound of her feet, he waited eagerly for the door to be opened.
"Did you miss me?." Maria was Danielle's high school sweetheart, he refused to let go of her, despite there complicated family relationships,he walked up to her his desire burning, but as a business man duty calls.
"Of course love, but I am quite busy right now, here take the keys and wait for me."
Maria, walked closer to him teasing him with her hair.
"You dared to give me your keys, what if I make you homeless."
She stained his white shirt with her lip stick, before working away, he heaved a sigh of relief and was glad she was gone, this deal was extremely important.
He looked at his disorganized desk so many files, with one on the other, how was he supposed to find this file now, why were all his files blue in colour.This deal could make or break his company's future.
Mean while, Maria's Father worked hard to secure the deal himself.
"In order to succeed, you must be ready to fight with the wind, never underestimate the enemy."
Maria's Father, a business man, always stole clients from Danielle, leaving him panting in helplessness and frustration, but this time Danielle was vastly prepared, he was bored and tired, he remembered he had someone dear waiting for him, he smiled and rushed home.As Danielle hastened to be with his beloved, he forgot to check if he locked his doors properly. Desmond excitedly took advantage of the situation, he stole all the files his hands could carry, and then came back for he reported his success to his boss.
"All done sir."
Maria's Father smiled.
"Good, he will regret underestimating me, his love for my daughter will be his downfall."Desmond walked stealthily as a ghost, his eyes making sure he was not followed, but his fears caught up with him.
"You!, what are you doing ?."
The security guard asked, dropping his hamburger on his desk, he marched forward like an aggressive soldier.
"Are you deaf?, what are you doing?."The sound of the guards boot, made Desmond tremble, Maria's Father would do something drastic to him, if he did not get to him on time, he had no but to run.
He ran out of the building and into the streets, throwing the files on the officer slowing him down, he jumped into his car and drove off, narrowly missing an old woman in a wheel chair. The guard stood and picked each file, he kept them in his office for safety.
Desmond was welcomed with a slap from his master.
"You incompetent fool!, bring the file here, that was my order!, how will we defeat him now?."
Maria's father's hands held his waste tightly, his anger rising, no matter how many times his goons kicked Desmond, it only infuriated him the more.. " Leave it, stop hitting him, we have better things to worry about, how we secure this contract, is your duty." He said pointing at Desmond, the goons kicked him and he fell on the floor, the blood on his mouth and palms, his hands held his belly, as he leaped to his car, heading for the hospital. "My duty indeed, I will become Danielle's Ally, I am sure he will not treat me like a dog!."Meanwhile as Maria laid lazily on Danielle's bed, she stretched her hands trying to grab her buzzing phone, but her hands were caught midway.
"You can take that call later, let this moment be ours."
But Maria was worried, it was getting late, and if she stayed any longer, her father might come to take her by himself.
"I don't give a damn about your father, I will protect you, just spend the night with me ."
No matter how tempting his offer Maria refused, she left, running while putting on her clothes.Maria arrived. Her breath caught up in her throat, she moved swiftly to her room, but was taken a gap when she saw her father sitted on her bed.
"I've being waiting for you all day, you know you are my only child, yet you leave father alone, what will I do in your absence, i won't ask you were you have being today, but I will next time, not with words but in action."Danielle still on his bed, his thoughts filled with Maria's actions, if only she was someone else's child, they would have being together already, this secrecy in there relationship troubled him, he wanted to be able to publicly show her his affection, it then dawned on him, that he had not still reviewed the file Desmond.He decided to return to the office and look for it, as soon as he arrives the guard updated him about what had happened earlier, he snatched the files from the guard, and eagerly searched for the file, but could not find it, he decided to create something new for the meeting the next day, he went home feeling disappointed.
He reflected on his father's words, "Listen to me son, Maria's Father, Gabrielle, is a cunning man, he will use his daughter against you one day, I am worried that our company will not survive under your leadership."Danielle sat, his black sofa compressing, his hand placed on his chin, he should not get personal matters interfere with business, he needs to get back to work, he turned on his computer.Maria's Father hugged her,his memories taking him back to when he first met her mother, they were deeply in love, but there love turned sour, when she left him to be with Danielle's father, he needed to keep them away from each other, but they should never find out that they are step siblings.
Danielle, went to the office his heart panting, this deal could make or break his career. He went to the dispenser, as he placed his hands on it, something caught his attention.
