His fingers traced the cool surface of the phone as Danielle's words replayed in his mind. A heavy weight settled in his chest, making it hard to breathe.

On the other end, Danielle tossed her phone onto the desk and gently massaged her temples. It wasn't that she didn't understand Alexander's concern, but his interference always made her feel like there was an invisible wall between them. He refused to let her into his world yet still tried to control her choices. The contradiction was exhausting.
Later that evening, her phone lit up with Niki's name, and the coldness in Danielle's eyes finally began to melt. She answered the video call, and her daughter's round face immediately filled the screen, her voice thick with a childish sob. "Mommy, when are you coming back? Niki misses you!"
"Soon, sweetie," Danielle soothed, glancing at the nanny in the background to confirm her daughter was well-cared for. "Mommy will be home as soon as I finish my work. You be a good girl for the nanny, okay?"
"Okay!" Niki nodded enthusiastically, then leaned closer to the screen and whispered, "Mommy, are you and Daddy getting along over there? Is Daddy being mean to you?"
Danielle's heart skipped a beat. She thought of her argument with Alexander earlier but forced a smile. "No, sweetie. Mommy and Daddy are fine. Don't you worry." She couldn't bear to let her daughter worry or sense the rift between them.

Please update...
Sooooo complicated sigh* Simply pls thanks....
Where is Chapter 545 - 554? I thought there'll be 9-10 chapters per update....
I knew it! He’s in love with her but he thinks she loves his brother!...
Oh poor Bianca... regrets, regrets :)...
This is it! Revenge. Way to go Dani....
OMG! Chapters 451-462 had me on edge. I wish we could also read Alexander's POV. I swear I want to punch him and Millie. This story is kind of a push and pull. The main character will win some, then lose some. Hope the writer gives Danielle a big win....
I hope not a lot of important dialogues get cut out, especially between Danielle and Alexander. But I can't complain, really. Thank you again for the updates....
