Bound Forever

The sunlight shone into the room through the open window on Julian’s face, making her blink her eyes, before dilating it widely.

Last night’s memories came flashing into her head and she smiled, warmth smile creeping unto her cheeks as she threw the blanket over her face. She has been with Danovo for a long time and yet it makes her cheek rise up and form faint red colour on her cheek, each time she remembers how much her loves her.

She couldn’t just believe her luck. He was handsome, and good in bed and soon after all this is over, they are going to get married and be together forever.  They made love together last night, still she had him in her bed.  

She groaned in happiness before getting up from bed only to see him already awake, staring back at her with a grin on his face, and that’s when she realized that he was dressed up already.

She frowned at the thought of him leaving soon. She threw the blanket over her body again when , she heard him laughing. Juliana stood up from the bed with the blanket over her nakedness.  

Suddenly he moved closer to her and he removed the blanket from her body, held it as he stared at her naked body, his mouth-watering.  

Juliana jumped out of the bed and walked towards him completely bare and naked in front of him before grabbing the blanket from him, then she took it before wrapping it around her body, feeling so sad that he was leaving soon.  

” You couldn’t wake me up to tell me you were leaving, you know I hate it when I don’t see you in bed in the morning” she said pouting.

” Good morning sunshine, I’m sorry that I didn’t wake you up, it’s just that you were sleeping so peacefully that’s all”. He pecked her forehead and said in a deep sexy voice, making her blush furiously before coming close to kiss her lips.

” Hey, I forgive you but be back by tonight” she muttered and smiled again. ”I’m going off to Draco’s place. I waited till you woke up before leaving because I didn’t want you to wake up to an empty bed alright but I can’t guarantee that I would be back early” He said.  

” You should go now, so you would be able to be back on time” she said. ”I can manage, I will see you when you get back, and besides, the bed was empty when I woke up”. She frowned then he beamed a smiled at her, afterward he kissed her lips again but this time it was more than before. 

” Bye. ” He said and she waved back at him before he leaves the house. She  heard his footsteps down the stairs when a bodyguard rushed in hurriedly. ”Sir, we haven’t found the person who eavesdropped on your conversation,” he said.

Danovo gave him a hard look, that shows a punch was almost landed on his face. ” Get the fuck out of my sight!” He blurted. ” I’m sorry sir” he slowly moved backwards as he bow his head.

” Good now drive me home,” he said and soon he was driving out of the compound to the mansion to see Draco.

Julian smiled and sighed with content before sitting back down on the bed. she felt so happy. Is this really what love feels like? It’s a nice feeling and she loved feeling this way so much. The only thing standing in her way to progress now was Daniella’s father, Daniella herself, and Draco.

Once they are all out of her way, she would have Danovo and the money all to herself, and then she could be happy forever.

Jane had promised Raymond to be back after seeing the lawyer. While I went to my room to have a nap, I can swear that I heard saying she was going back to Raymond and maybe pass the night there. I was so drowsy that I couldn’t think about what she was saying clearly.

” So, what do you want to talk to me about? ” Raymond asked as he and Jane sat inside one of the lounges in the hotel room together. 

” Did I take long?” She met him on the dinner table about eating his meal. ‘ No, but just right on time, come join me he said”

They started eating, when he reminded her again of the gist she didn’t completed. ” Oh yeah, since we know the culprit we just have a way to get a proof against them” she said munching on the chicken and chips on her plate.

” And how do you guys plan to get that?” he looked into her eyes as he watch her talk and eat one by one.

” I will answer all your questions with what I have to say anyway, so calm down. ” She sighed, wondering how to start talking about it because no matter what angle.

Jane asked him to hold on, while she finished her mean. Then suddenly someone came in from no where. ” Huh? Daniella why are you here?” I swung my heads backward when I noticed her scent.

” Hello, Raymond” I said ignoring Jane’s questions. ” Daniella so good to see you, I was thinking of paying you a visit, but here you are already”

”Jane I feel lonely at home, that’s the reason I’m here. I hope I’m not causing any problem or distracting you?” I lowered my eyes, looking at Jane’s expression. ”No, you are welcome dear” he said.

Jane’s expression was somehow, like she was saying thing when she abruptly stopped as I entered. Raymond starred at me with a pitiful eyes. I wasn’t surprise because I guess Jane had told him already.

” So tell me, what you have been pending” he said. I feel he will pity me or feel sorry for me, which I won’t blame him for but I don’t want that.  

” What I want to say now, might sound like fiction to you because it only happens in novels or movies but it’s true and I need your help, Raymond. you will most likely think what a bad situation and crazy instance this is after I explain this but I just don’t know anyone else to ask for help except you and  Jane. ” I say. 

” Calm down, it’s not like you killed someone, Daniella. ” Ray joked, making all the color drain from my face, and he stopped laughing seeing as Jane and I weren’t laughing along.  

” Okay let’s hear it… the reason why you refused to laugh at my jokes. what’s up with you guys ” Frank asked again, and Jane elbowed him before he kept quiet and they both looked at me. 

” So this happened a few months ago, that time we were trying to revive Jane’s soul back to her body to be precise.” I started, looking at Raymond, who frowned because he knew something was off that time.  

” My father got framed for the murder of my husband’s father and then he got sent to prison for the crime. ” I said and Jane frowned and squeezed my hands. ”Your dad got arrested, wait framed for murder. Draco’s father, ” he asked.

” How will you say that kind of thing. why would your father ever want his father dead ” he asked again before adding, ” I mean, you’re telling me the rich businessman, your husband didn’t believe his wife? ”

He trailed off when he saw that I was being serious about what I was saying. ”Yes! he did, I’m not lying about it, and all these happened ” I stopped and watched their faces for their reactions. Ray looked calm and signaled for me to continue while Jane is silent not interrupting me.  

” Right now as we speak my dad is in prison and they would have a court hearing soon if I don’t find proof before then, he would be sentenced to life imprisonment or killed and he is innocent,” I said with tears in my eyes. 

” We know who killed those people and framed her dad,” Jane said and Ray listened , ”Who are they? ” Ray asked  ”Well Danovo and Julian,” I said and he gasped. 

” You mean Danovo, Draco’s younger brother, he was the one who killed their father, but wait who is Julian,” he asked.

” Yes Danovo, Draco’s younger brother killed their father, Cassy, and Jessica, and then framed my father for it. Julian is Danovo’s girlfriend and I think she is in it with him. although I don’t know what role she is playing that well I know she is a suspect too ” I answered 

” Wow, that’s a lot for you to handle Daniella. and you said you were fine ” he said and I faced the floor, afraid of crying. ”She can’t just go around telling everyone this story Ray and that’s why we both need your help” Jane said. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

” Of course, anything I can do to help, I will surely do it for you guys,” he said and Jane smiled. As usual, Ray is always ready to help us anytime we need any help. 

” Daniella followed Julian and she found out that they were planning something in secret but she couldn’t hear much because she didn’t have time and she almost got caught and as much as she wants to go back, we can’t have her going back because if she does then Danovo and Julian will suspect that she knows something and they might do something bad to her, ” Jane said. 

” I understand you. so what can I do to help, why don’t I go in her place, I will find out whatever Danovo and Julian are up to and report back to you guys  ” he suggested.

” Wow you would do that for us, that’s a good idea Ray ” I gushed out in happiness. 

” Anything for you guys. Just text me the address and every other thing you think I need to know and I will help out ” he said.
