Bound Forever

” What! you mean you didn’t give him a quick response, I mean you didn’t say yes to that!!!” I screamed. Jane got back home gisting me about what had happened today.

” Babe! Yes I didn’t because I do have a lot to do, I need to help you get a lawyer as soon as possible” she yelled back at me, like her conscience was also fighting with her for not getting him a good feedback. “Babe come on, can you hear yourself? Helping me doesn’t mean you are not allowed to love or go out on a date. “Babe but helping dad is more important” she still argues.

” Jane stop, stop already. You have always wanted him, you have always desired him and want him to ask you out on a date. And now here it is, why are you being the devil to your own situation?” I was so angry already, what a fool.” That was then babe, I mean if I even have feelings for him, that can come after we help dad out of that damn place, for fuck sake he has been there for over a week now!” she shrugged.

” Oh my God” I raised my brow. ”Can you hear yourself now huh? Babe no one is stopping you from loving someone or going out on a date.” I sighed out. What more can I say to her? How do I convince her that her love life matters too?

”Babe listen to me__” I held her shoulder.” You want to help dad, fine. Just relief yourself of that tonight. Tonight go out on , and have fun. You deserve it baby, don’t be a weirdo. So you would pick up that phone and call him now”

Jane kept quiet for a while. Mediating on the words I had spoken to her, I hope its sinks down in her mind. ”Okay fine I would” she said. “Great!” I sighed out holding my chest, Jane wanted me to burst out in anger. She doesn’t understand how lucky you feel when a man loves you and ask you out on a date.

” Daniella, not now you can’t think of that devil. Shit! He didn’t even call, did he really detest me that much?” sadness loomed all over my face, I was about tearing up but I had it in cheek, I quickly sucked in the tears. Of course Jane didn’t noticed my change of mood between the seconds interval.

” Yes pick up the phone and tell him you are coming tonight, for the dinner” I said and sniffed a wee bit. ”Okay, I’m doing that now” she said. Jane picked up her phone from the bed, and dialed his number. “Hey, what’s up?” she said after he picked up the phone in one ring. ” Em__” her fingers lingers on her face.

” Speak up, have you made up your mind?” He asked. ” I’m coming tonight” she said. ”Great, thank you for this opportunity” he leaps on the phone. ”Okay, see you later” she hang up the call. ” Satisfied Daniella?” she rolled her eyes and dived into the bed. “Jezz babe come on, what happened to the love you had for him? I know he was the love of your life, have you moved on?” I frowned.

” That’s it! Moved on, I have moved on.” she said sarcastically. ”You are something else Jane!! Arghh” I shrugged and stormed out of her room. I can’t hear anymore from that her lips. “Fine” she sighed and dug her head into the bedsheets.” What a weird girl, how can you move on? The fuck is wrong with that girl?” I hissed and hopped on my bed.

” You good for nothing bastards!” ”how can a fragile lady escape from you all? How is that even possible? Can’t you just do something properly for once in this your miserable life?!” he yelled at the guards, who came back panting heavily without Daniella with them.

” You let her off the hook just like that?” Juliana contributed. ”Fuck!” Danovo picked up something from the glass table and smashed it against the wall. ” Calm down baby, what do we do now?” she asked rubbing his shoulder trying to calm him down. ”I don’t know for now. We just have to be more careful” he said.

” Do you think she has something important that can put us behind bars?” She asked shaking, in fear. ”No baby, I don’t think so. But just be calm don’t freak out. I will handle this” he said. ” Okay fine” he kissed her forehead. ”Get out of my sight already, what are still here for??” He yelled at them again.” Sorry boss” they lowered their head.

It was 5pm in the evening, I barged into Jane’s room again, without knocking. ”Oh” it escaped her lips. ” Oh wow. Someone has really made up her mind about the dinner tonight” I joke as I tossed her around checking out the outfit on her body.

” You look gorgeous” I said. ”Thank you, do you think I should go with this gown or with the white on my bed?” She asked me. ” Oh sure, the one on you is perfect baby” I said, still checking out the one on the bed. ” I’m sure Raymond would love you more, because you look so elegant” I deadpanned. ”Of course” she formed a fake smile.

” Alright I would be going now, its almost 5:30pm okay baby?” she said giving me a peck.” Sure do take care of yourself love” I said. ” Jane walked out the room, not less than thirty minutes she got a cab taking her to a restaurant where they have both agreed to meet.

As soon as she stepped into the Restaurant someone caught sight of her immediately. ” Oh my gorgeous. You look like an angel” he said as he opened the seat for her. “Thank you” her cheek flushed. “Let’s eat, I ordered for you.” he reached out to the food on table. ” Thank you” she grin.

” Thank you for accepting my proposal, it means a lot to mean” he picked up her hand and kissed it.” My pleasure” she forcedly smiled.” Eat up” he said. ‘ Sure’ she picked up the fork and dug into the chicken sauce.

” Is there anything wrong? Or you would like to talk about?” He asked as he eat. “Why?” She asked. “Well I noticed your mood earlier on. Yeah and you said you had a lot to do, you’ve gotten a job?” He asked, curiously.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

” Um_ Raymond, I think I should settle this with you before we move on to the next phase. Why have you invited me here to have a dinner with you?” she try maintaining the anger she feels.” I want us to talk.” He said.

” Talk about what Raymond? You and I know how this have been, how much I tried making you love me. How I suffered just to get your love, now what do you want this time?” she finally flared up, leaving her food untouched. “Jane please calm down. I understand”

” Understand what Raymond! I almost died because of my foolishness, because of love yet you were still after your ex. Why does it has to be now that I have moved on!” deep down in her heart she is expecting Raymond to say those words.

” You have moved on? What?” he dropped his fork “‘ I have moved on Raymond” she lied.” How? W-wait who is the guy?” he stuttered in anguished.” Raymond, moving on doesn’t mean I’m currently with a guy. I mean I can’t continuing hurting myself for love I can’t get!” she shrugged, hitting the table subconsciously.

” Oh, I’m sorry Jane. I’m sorry I was so blind to that” he said softly. ”That is why I want to make up for that” he caressed her hands. “But how?!” She yelled in the restaurant, although people weren’t very much in the restaurant.” I want you to be my girlfriend!” he shouted. ”Oh my God” the few people in the restaurant, leaped. Jane was stunned, her heart began to raise and I palm turned sweaty.

” I want you as my girl, Jane please accept” he brought down his voice, spoke softly this time.” I want to, yes!” she said, blushing awkwardly. He finally breathed very well, without his heart cutting.” Thank you Jane, I will make you the happiest woman on earth” he stood up from his seat and kissed her on her forehead. ”I will prove to you how much I cherish you” he said.

Jane was over the moon, she was so speechless to reply, her cheek could only seem to be rising and flushing into a faint red colours. “Um__” she cleared her throat. ” Thank you Raymond”

”Can we eat?” She found a way to cover her nervousness. ”Sure” he said, going back to his seat ”You asked about my job?” To break the ice, she began. ”I haven’t gotten one yet. And when I said I was busy, I was going to help Daniella get a Lawyer” she said and sliced her chicken. ” A lawyer? For what?” he seemed puzzled. “Um_ Long story babe” she sighed out.

”Tell me about it” he dropped his spoon again, to concentrate. “Mr David is in prison at the moment. He had been forcibly accused for a crime he didn’t commit” “‘ What? By who?” He asked. ‘Knowing the person might throw you off your balance” she said. ‘Don’t make me curious, spill the beans okay?”

”Draco, Daniella’s husband” she said, steeping her fingers together. ‘What? How can he do that? Isn’t he his father- in-law?”. “haha_” Jane grin at his novice status. ” You wouldn’t understand baby. Don’t let me go to that point, it is very deep. Instead I would gist you about the charges against him. “Um_ alright” he gave her his attention.

” Danovo is the murderer of Cassy, he accused Mr David of the crime instead, because he knew they ain’t on good terms. He couldn’t accused Draco because he would get suspected and Draco ends up discovering all the secret about him” she started explaining the complicated issue.” Wow that is really deep” he sighed.

” So what is the main reason for all this? According to what Daniella eavdropped from Danovo and his lover which happened to be ”Juliana” he wants to own all that Draco has, in summary he was the one who actually killed their father and not Mr David” she said.

” Wow what the fuck, I don’t understand”. “I know you wouldn’t understand, it is quite complicated as it seem. Mayhap when you visit Daniella she would tell you in details.” She said.

” Wow poor Daniella, does that mean she his having issue with her husband now?” He tried comprehending everything. “‘Apparently yes” she said. “Oh my God, how could he do that to her?” He questioned.

” He is being blind folded, we have to have a proof first before he can realize he is making a big mistake” Jane said.” Right, how do we get to prove that?” He asked.” That’s the point, we have to expose Juliana and Danovo and also this is the way to set him free from that damn prison” she said.

” Wow ” he sighed out’. ‘I’m sorry, can we eat up now? It is getting late already”. “Yes, let’s eat I will drive you home” he said. “No baby, you don’t need to.” She said. ” Is there anything, I can do to help you guys?” “Sure there is a lot_”
