Dane’s Irresistible Desire

= WALLACE’s POV =

“Yes, mom. Everything is fine. I’m leaving in NAIA now.” I dragged the suitcase out of the airport while talking to mommy and looking around.

[“Good, don’t forget to visit me again. I will miss you, son.”]

“I will miss you, too.” I ended the call and put the phone in my pocket. I look around to see where Cluster is. Dylan said that he would pick me up but until now I still haven’t seen him.

It’s been five months since I left the Philippines. After I said goodbye to Diana I left the country. Fortunately, Cooper and Diana’s wedding didn’t go ahead that day and I don’t know the reason. Dylan said it might be re-scheduled but I hope it didn’t really go through.

I just realized that I really love her and I can’t afford to lose her forever. But I still have the fear that my ego will swallow me one day. Especially since I haven’t gotten the answer from my mommy and I haven’t forgiven her yet for what she did to us. I have a lot of unanswered questions because since mommy left we haven’t seen each other.

Dylan advises me to reconcile with mom. To talk to her and asked everything about her. He told me that the secret of a happy life is to move forward. And you can move on if you will go back to the present and clear everything that you’ve left behind.

I don’t have to go back to the past because I left nothing. Except for my mom who left us and I didn’t ask why. I want to know her side and not just the story about her. I want to hear everything from her own mouth. I want to be clear so I can balance whether there is a reason for the fear I am fighting.

So I asked Dylan to look for Diana and I’ll leave to meet my mom. When I was there I had no news of Diana. Dylan didn’t want to tell me anything except that Diana was ok. I want to ask him about Cooper and her if the marriage went ahead but he doesn’t answer. So is Cluster.

Apart from them, I have nothing more to ask. I have no friends but them. I can’t ask my cousins also because I know that Maggie will annoy me and for Margot, I’m still a little embarrassed to open up to her. But I hope that because of Diana’s love for me she didn’t marry Cooper. That when I come back I will come back to her again.

I still continue training with Dylan online. We talk every day to guide him but Cluster is his partner. I still teach him what he should practice on a daily basis.

While in the USA I reconciled with Mom. I meet her new family also. Mom confessed to me that she was really jealous of daddy but she didn’t include me. She was angry with her parents because all her life she had done nothing but for the company but it went to others and not to her.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

She admitted that she was wrong because our family was affected. But there is no wrong if daddy is the one who sits as CEO. They just lost time with each other. If it’s just jealousy, pride, and ego, mommy can accept it. But what they lost was time, bonding, understanding, and respect, so gradually they also lost love.

She left not to pretend that he could be CEO as well. She left hoping she and daddy would miss each other. But they lost communication even more because they both became busier until her boss made her feel something that she was special.

In her boss she found the love, care, respect, and understanding that daddy did not give her. Gradually he learned to love her. So even though she knew it was wrong she fought it.

There I realize, any other problem Diana and I can overcome if we are together. As long as we understand, respect, and be open to each other’s feelings our love will keep stronger.

When everything cleared on my mom’s side I didn’t go home first. I stayed there with her so we could bond. I had a great time with her but even so, I still couldn’t help but miss Diana.

I miss her. I really want to hug and kiss her and tell her that I love her so much. I want the two of us to start and realize that’s what we have. I want her to be with me and if she will agree, I want to marry her.

“I’m sorry I’m late.” Cluster arrives and hurries to approach me.

“I’ll just be here for a while.” He also helped me with what I was carrying.

“Dylan said to go to the gym first and he wants to see you first,” he said as we sat inside. “Jetlag?”

“I’m okay, I’m tired but I can do it.” I leaned my back on the chair. I picked up my cellphone and swiped phone numbers. I want to surprise Diana with a call to let her know I’m here and ask if we can meet. But I chose not to and I would just surprise her later at her house wherever she stayed.

“How is she?” I asked Cluster.

“Diana, it’s okay, big —-” He looked at me and smiled. “Still beautiful.”

“Ok,” I didn’t speak again until we got to the gym.

I left my belongings in the car and followed Cluster and we went straight to Dylan’s office. I caught Dylan smiling as he smoked and put his foot on the table.

“Wazzap, weaklings.” We shake our hands and hug.

“Hi, Daze,” I greeted Daze who was also here and seemed to expect my arrival as well.

“Hi, Wallace. How’s the USA?”

“All right.”

“Sit down first, Wallace and we’ll just end our conversation with Dane.” My heartbeat quickened when I heard Dane’s name. I was suddenly nervous that I could not understand. I wipe my forehead even without a sweat. “Where is your sister, Dandelion? Go check to the bathroom,” Dylan ordered.

“She’s not cripple, brother,” Daze replied.

“Lazy,” Dylan complained. “Later what will gonna happen to her in the bathroom.”

“I’m sorry it took so long.” I felt my heart stop beating and even the clock ticking when I heard his voice. I swallowed a few times and slowly looked at her. Our eyes met and I could also see the shock on her face when he saw me.

But my forehead immediately wrinkled when I looked at his already large belly. Suddenly many questions formed in my mind but nothing came out of my mouth.

Is she pregnant? Am I the father? But why didn’t she tell me? Why didn’t anyone tell me?

“Dane, what are you doing there? It is not good for a pregnant woman to stand and my niece might slide down.” Daze call her so she walked closer to us.

“Hi!” she greeted me and then held her stomach. Just the casualness of her with me. Even when I saw the shock in her eyes when she saw me now it was as if was gone.

“You’re pregnant?” I don’t know why that immediately ask it. I want to ask who the father is.

“Obviously, Wallace. What is that gas?” Daze answered.

“How many months?” I asked again.

“Five —”

“Three.” She grabbed what Daze had to say. Three, isn’t it mine? I was gone five months so I wasn’t the father.

“Three?” Daze asked. “How big is my niece?”

“Daze.” She rolled her eyes at Daze but I didn’t pay attention to them and I didn’t understand much of what they were talking about because I was looking at Diana’s stomach.

“Wallace, wait a minute, and Dane and I will just end this conversation about his departure for Canada. She intends to follow her husband’s Cooper so that their child will be born there.”

“Husband?” I ask Dylan and then look at him.

“Ow, sorry bro, didn’t Cooper tell you? I mean didn’t anyone tell you?”

“Tell me what?”

“Cooper and Diana got married more than a month after you left the country and went on a honeymoon, but Cooper left immediately because he needed to work. But the fuck is a shooter and before leaving blown Diana’s tummy. Am I calculating the timing correctly, Dane?” Dane shook her head. Daze counts on her finger.

“I think yes brother, your time is right. You’re good at inventing —- counting.”

“Mathematicians’ this, Daze.”

So they really got married and will have a child. That’s why no one told me. Everything I started was wasted as well as my plans because someone else already owned the woman I loved.
