Daniel slowly opened his eyes to see that they were still trapped in the fire and the first thing he did was call Elenaโs name. โElena!โ He called as he rushed to where she was โplease open your eyes โ he told her as he shook her face, his hand still on his bleeding headElena slowly opened her eyes, โD..Daniel, my Gabriella, where is she?โ She asked weaklyโSheโs fine, just get upโ he told her as he helped her up and they started looking for a means of escape, together.He put his hand around her before helping her walk, โjust a step at a time, it will be fine โ he told her in pain. It was obvious he was in more pain, his foot and his head was injured but he didnโt care, he cared more about Elena than he did himself .By this time, the media has already gathered outside the building on fire and they were busy saying different things.โWeโre now here at the supposed venue for the Normanโs centenary anniversary but it seems that event is not holding as there has been a fire out break
She coughed as she slowly opened her eyes to see Daniel on top of her and for some reason, she didnโt feel the resentment or inconvenience she felt whenever any man was close to her and she couldnโt explain why.โAre you alright?โ Daniel asked her as he helped her get up โYes I am, thanksโ she said as she coughed. She had regained consciousness but the smoke was still bad for her, she was having a hard time breathing in the smoke.โCome, Iโll help you!โ He told her as he extended his hand and she stared at him, why was something in her suddenly telling her he was to be trusted? Why did she not feel resentment and disgust towards him? Why didnโt she have recalls of what her father had done to her when he was this close to her For the first time in her whole existence, she smiled around a man and she stretched her hand and he helped her get up.โThank youโ she told him with a smile as he wrapped his hands around her and she stared at him, this was the first time she didnโt feel rep
โCome, everyone must be worried about you โ Daniel told Elena as he tried to lead her out of the water but she tripped.Apparently, sheโd hurt her foot.โOuch, my foot โ she winced in pain as she bent to hold on to her leg.He stared at her, she always looked cute no matter her expression. โCome, Iโll helpโ he told her and before she could say anything, he put his hand behind her and carried her bridal style out of the pool. As he carried her out of the pool, she couldnโt help but stare at him, why was she so engrossed in this man? Why did she find herself staring at him so much? What was wrong with her now?โStop staring, your eyes might hurtโ he told her and chuckled.Embarrassed and unexplainably flustered, she looked away as she rested hee head on his chest. His chest just felt so muscular and she felt like it was the safest place she could be in at the moment.. As Daniel carried her past the back of the building, Elena started hearing weak screams, bangings and pleads from a
Nikita swallowed deeply as she turned to Mrs Norman who was standing at the door, ready to hear what she had to say. She bent and picked her phone before putting it in her pocket. โOh Mrs Norman, youโre here. I was about to come see you evenโ she said with a smile as she walked to Mrs Norman, ushering her into her room.โI asked you a question didnโt I Nikita? Who do you want to get killed?โ She asked and Nikita ticked her hair behind her ear.This was definitely not her day. First Gabriella heard her plot, second Daniel risked his life to save Elena, third, Elena didnโt die and they found Gabriella who they were now alone with in the hospital and now, Mrs Norman had overheard of her plot to kill Gabriella.She chuckled slightly as she placed her hand on Mrs Normanโs laps, โwhy would I want to get anyone killed? Do you really think of me as such a girl?โ She asked as she feigned sadness. โI always thought I was like a daughter to you and I never thought you would ever suspect me
โWho are you?โ A male nurse asked a masked Nikita as he stared at Gabriella who was still unconscious being wheeled away. Nikita quickly stared at the name tag on the coat she was on, โdoctor Sameen. Donโt worry about the patient, Iโll get her to safetyโ she said.โDidnโt you take the day off ? I learnt you took the day offโ he told her as he stared at her father suspiciously.โIโm a doctor, I save lives. Is it now a crime if I come on the days Iโm not supposed to?โ She asked โItโs not like that doctor. I was just surprisedโ he told her.โStop being surprised now and go save livesโ she told him and the nurse nodded his head as he ran to the wards. Everyone was running helter skelter as she wheeled Gabriella with a smile on her face. If only they knew it was a false alarm. She wheeled Gabriella to the back of the building where no one ever was as she stood at the edge of the stairs with a smile on her face. โIt was better you never came into this world than coming and then goi
Daniel held on to Elena as she almost fell to the floor after hearing the news of her sisterโs death.โNo.. no, youโre lying to me, sheโs not dead. My sister is not deadโ she said as more tears streamed down her cheeks in shock.โWeโre sorry madam, we did our best but sheโd already bled a lot and suffered a lot of internal injuries โ the doctor said and Elena pushed Daniel away.โNooooโ she yelled as she went and started throwing things around. โSheโs not dead, my Gabby is not deadโ she screamed in tears as she made to run into the ward where Gabriella had been confirmed dead but Daniel was quick to hold her back.โElena be calm, calm downโ Daniel told her as he tried to hold her down.โNo, she is not dead. Gabby!โ She screamed in tears as she struggled to get free. Nikita gave herself a slight smile as she heaved a sigh of relief, the girl was now dead and her secrets had died with her. She flipped her hair back as she stared at Elena who was losing it after hearing of the death
Nikita chuckled nervously as she bent to pick the broken pieces of glass that had fallen from her hand.โI..Iโm fine, just shocked that someone who died regained consciousness โ she said as she gulped. Mrs Norman stared at Daniel. โNikita herself told us that the girl died so how is this possible that she is alive again?โ Mrs Norman asked and Daniel sighed before going to take a seat.โWhen someone with a pure heart doesnโt want you dead, trust me, you wonโt die โ he said with a smile as he recalled how Elena had run to Gabriellaโs body, crying at it, holding her hands and having firm belief that she wouldnโt die.โI donโt get, what are you trying to say?โ Mrs Norman asked him and he turned to her.โElena.โ He said and he had a smile on his face that made Nikita clench her fists. Tears were welling up in her eyes as she saw the way Daniel smiled remembering Elena. She wasnโt sure the others could see it but she could. She could see how he was blushing merely thinking about he
Elena staggered back in shock as she held on to her head, tears streaming down her cheeks as she gave chuckled, chuckles that only people who were about to lose it gave.โYouโre joking right? Tell me youโre joking โ she said as she dragged the doctor by the collar, screaming as tears streamed down her cheeks. โTell me my sister is fine!โ She yelled and Daniel went to her to try and calm her down.Even though it angered Nikita that Daniel was that close to Elena, she was pleased, he could pity Elena for all she cared but one thing was certain, she would ruin Elena. Gabriellaโs accident was just the start, she would do worse to Elena for daring to steal the man she loved from her.โCalm down, Elena. It will be fine!โ Daniel told her and she pushed him away violently.โStay away from me! โ she yelled as she continued to drag on the doctorโs shirt. โTell me what youโve done to my sister! Tell me, this isnโt the first hospital Iโve brought her to since she was born but it is the only o
โNo! Elena!โ Daniel yelled out of his lungs as he watched her traveling down to the ground.He felt his world shattering into a thousand pieces and for the next minutes, all he could do was sit back, with his head buried to the ground.Tears poured out of his eyes like an ocean and for the first time in his life, he felt like a failure.He couldnโt even save the woman who he claimed to love so much. โElena! Where is she? Did sheโฆโ, Gabrielle said as she went towards the edge of the cliff and realized that Elena was no more there.She fell back to the ground and let out a sorrowful wail, hitting her legs on the ground intently and screaming her sisterโs name.Daniel got a grip of himself and stood to his feet. Elena had made him promise to take care of her sister and inasmuch as he was broken, he needed to stand there for her.โItโs okayโ, Daniel said with a soft voice as he tapped her calmly and pulled her into a warm hug. Gabrielle sobbed on his chest just as they awaited the arriva
โElena!โ Gabrielle shouted on top of her voice the moment she walked into the scene to see Elena who was now soaked in blood.Elena was barely standing firm, and with each step she took backwards, she was at the verge of falling down the cliff.Jessica quickly turned to look at Gabrielle and immediately, a small scoff made way to her face.โGet out of here!โ She said to Gabrielle who couldnโt believe her eyes.Gabrielle ignored her and made to run over to Elena, but Jessica shot her.Luckily, there were no bullets left in the gun. Jessica knew that she was at a big risk at this point. She swiftly dropped the gun to the ground and dashed out of the premises, ignoring Gabrielle who was crying or Elena who was close to falling off the cliff.โElena!โ Gabrielle rushed over to Elena to grab her. Unfortunately, she wasnโt fast enough because in that minute, Elena fell off the cliff.Gabrielle let out a loud scream that shook the entire area. Tears poured out of her eyes as she tried to calm
Elena had seen Jessica and suddenly felt a glint of hope in the situation. However, the moment Jessica had taken down the men, she faced the gun to Elena.At first, Elena thought that Jessica was only trying to joke with her and at this, she started laughing out in elation. However, Jessica remained still, without a single iota of excitement on her face.โIโm not here to save youโ, Jessica suddenly said, with her hands touching the trigger.Elena was shocked to her bones as she stared at Jessica who had just made the utterance that broke her heart.โWhat do you mean?โ Elena asked as she started walking closer to Jessica who had tears in her eyes.โWhat do you mean by that? You are not here to help me?โ Elena asked again, not wanting to believe what Jessica had just said to her.โI meant what I said. Iโm not here to save you but to end you!โ Jessica bluntly replied, causing Elena to stare at her in shock.Elena chuckled calmly to conceal the anxiety in the atmosphere, but she quickly
Elena smiled in relief and walked into the room, feeling so glad that her sister was safe and looked fine.She made to untie her from the chair, but just as she was almost done with that, she heard the cocking sound of a gun, right on her head.This made her stop right in her tracks, with cold shills running down her spine.Gabrielle had tears running out of her eyes as she watched Elena who had a gun pointed to her head.โDonโt move or that would be your end!โ The voice said and again, Elenaโs stomach twisted in fear and anxiety. She gulped down hard as beads of sweats started forming on her forehead. The room looked empty and the last things she expected was the appearance of someone with a gun.Daniel was standing outside, at some distance away. Elena had been faster than him and all he could do was slowly walk up to meet her while studying the environment and checking for any threat.Just then, he caught sight of someone entering the house, with a gun in his hands. His heart skip
Daniel stared at Elena who was now trembling, with her phones in her hands that were barely steady. He needed no one to tell him that she had just received a very bad information.โIf you are looking for her, she just got kidnappedโ, Elena went through the message again, with tears pouring out of her eyes.Jessica stood beside them, with her hands folded to her chest and her face wearing a look of confusion.Elena started sobbing almost immediately, increasing the intensity of her cries as seconds passed. This made Danielโs heart ache terribly. At this, he went over to her and hugged her passionately, placing soft kisses on her neck.โWe would find herโฆI promise you thatโ, he said with a tone of assurance, even if he had no idea of how that was going to happen.โHow? There are no clues anywhere. They just took her away and we have no idea of who they areโ, Elena sobbed while Daniel hugged her again.Jessica slowly walked over to her and pulled her into a warm hug too.โWe would find
The news was devastating that for some minutes, none of them could utter any word. Elena fell to the ground and broke into loud sobs while Gabrielle followed suit.Daniel returned from his walk and once he met them in that state, he needed no one to tell him that Jessica lost the child.He held Elena up and tried to console her. But then, that didnโt seem to work so much since Elena blamed herself for every single thing that happened.โI shouldnโt have ever known Josh! Itโs all my faultโ, she cried out while Daniel patted her on her shoulders.He was enraged as well. At this point, he wished that he would come across Josh and give him the beating of his life.โWe should go see her. You have to be strong if you need her to be strong. She is the one who is going to be more affected by the newsโ, Daniel said to Elena who nodded her head in understanding.After what seemed like ages, she finally got a grip of herself. They walked into the hospital room where they met Jessica who was curre
Chaos erupted in the atmosphere the moment Jessica landed on the ground. In a split second, her head started bleeding and she was barely conscious. Elena let out a scream of distress while Josh took to his heels, not looking back for even a second. They called for the ambulance and immediately, Jessica was rushed to the hospital. Once they got to the hospital, Jessica was rushed into the emergency ward and this placed both Elena and Daniel in a state of panic.Elena couldnโt withhold her tears at this point. She suddenly started crying aloud the moment she recalled the sight of the blood that oozed out of Jessicaโs head. It was terrifying that for a moment, she was beginning to have fears that she might lose her.โStop crying!โ Daniel said as he pulled her into a warm hug.It was a difficult time for him as well. He never thought that the day would turn out to be one where he would get such a heated confrontation from Josh. In addition, he didnโt know that such a thing would happen
Elena was the first to run off to meet Jessica. She had never felt so scared all of her life. She had tears in her eyes as she tapped her calmly, hoping that she would stand up without any issues.Everything was currently happening because of her and she couldnโt help but feel ashamed and guilty. โJessica!โ Elena called out the moment she observed that she was laying on tue ground, looking lifeless and unconscious.Josh scoffed when he saw this and walked back to Elena. He took her hands away from Jessica and pushed her away.โLet her be! We have our situation to solve hereโ, Josh said, without a bit of feelings or emotions in his eyes. Elena couldnโt believe her ears. She gazed at Josh as she tried to wonder how he could be so heartless even if he was the cause of everything that had just happened. โCan you hear yourself? You caused all of these and yet you stand there and ignore her?โ Elena asked unbelievably as she returned her gaze to Jessica who was still laying on the ground.
Elena was burning in rage at this point. She couldnโt understand how Josh could be so stupid to spew out such kind of things against Daniel.โNot another word from you, Josh!โ She screamed out of her lungs, trying so hard to stop the tears that welled up in her eyes.She was truly exhausted at this point. The worst laid in the fact that she could barely look into Jessicaโs eyes.All she felt was guilt and she needed no one to tell her that it would take a while to recover from the guilt she felt.โDaniel! You must be feeling like a super hero now. Youโve got a lady supporting you and willing to do anything for youโ, he said and started laughing softly. He stopped midway and wore a big scowl on his face.โBut I promise you that you wonโt get her! Elena belongs to me and you are only wasting your time!โ He said to Daniel who wore a scoff and folded his hands to his chest.Jessica felt that the world was currently turning. Her head was banging heavily and somehow, she struggled to keep
