A WEEK LATER… “Of course, Mr handsome.” She said with a smile as she climbed down to the kitchen.Daniel smiled to himself as he swirled his seat, in these last days, himself and Elena had become very close friends, close to the extent that she didn’t do anything without involving him and him, he wouldn’t dare do anything without her.Funny how Elena, a woman who hated speaking to men became such good friends with Daniel, a man who hated speaking to women.“Are you sure, Miss cutie?” He asked with a teasing look in his face and she shook her head.“Stop calling me that, I told you it sounds cringe” she told him with a smile as she tucked her hair behind her ear and he gave himself a weak smile, if only she knew how he felt.If only she knew how often he thought of her, how he always saw her in his dreams, how her name was always the first thing that came to his mind every morning. He smiled to himself, he knew he was in love with her but then, he just wanted to remain best friends
“I missed you so much” she told Gabriella with tears in her eyes as she sat her on the bed in the room. “How could you do this to me?” She asked and Gabriela slowy wiped her tears away.“Why are you crying now Melena? I’m fine now, am I not?” She asked and Elena embraced her again. “Don’t ever do that to me again, I’d beat you up if you did” she said in tears and Gabriella chuckled. “When the doctor had told us that you would be able to speak in a day or two, I’d waited so patiently but then, you made no improvements and I….” Before she could complete her statement, she heard Gabriella chuckle.“I’d have died but then Melena, I recalled that you’re all I have and if I’m going to the after life, it’s only because I know you’re there” she said with a smile and even more tears streamed down her cheeks. They conversed for a while and Gabriella made sure to tell Elena that she knew herself and Daniel were getting closer. Elena’s face reddened with embarrassment as she looked away. “You
He stared at her, angrily. How much he wanted to tell her that he actually wanted to call Elena, he wanted to be with Elena but then, he knew that the moment he he did so, he would forget about ever being with Elena.As it stood, he could still get close to Elena and it was all because he still acted like he loved Jessica. He sighed, he had no choice but to pretend. He gave a slight chuckle, “I’m so sorry babe. I’m just so tired and frustrated, please give me sometime to rest” he told her and she gave him a slight smile as she stared at him before patting his hair and then giving him a slight kiss on the lips.“Of course babe” she said as she put his hand on her stomach. “We’ll have a baby soon, when will we get married?” She asked as tears slowly streamed down her cheeks. “You had promised we would get married before the birth of our baby, remember?” She asked him as she put her hand around his neck and he smiled as he wrapped his hand around her.“I remember honey, don’t worry, we’
Elena was stunned that all she could do was glare at the drama that was currently unfolding. Josh stood still as he threw dead glared at Daniel who was surprised to see how he pulled Elena away from him.Josh grabbed Daniel and threw countless punches across his face. He was raged and all he could wish for was Daniel’s death. He came back to reality after Daniel punched him in his imaginations. He was infuriated that mere sight of Daniel caused his stomach to twirl.Jessica stood at the other corner, with her hands folded to her chest, and her heart beating frantically. Everything still appeared like a dream and the worst was how she couldn’t decipher if it should be termed a bad dream or a good dream.She walked over to them when she observed that they weren’t making any efforts towards ending whatever drama it was that happened.“Babe! What is going on?” Jessica whispered into Josh ears, but his attention was too far to listen to her.He had different thoughts swirling around his m

Daniel was boiling in rage and it was clear that he meant every single word that he just uttered. He walked over to Josh and started throwing series of punches across to his face.Josh winced in pain and tried to cover his face that was being brutalized by Daniel. Elena swallowed hard as she watched what was currently ensuing between the men. She already lost the energy to talk and all she could do at this point was gaze at them. Jessica was torn apart and in great confusion. No one seemed to be willing to tell her what had happened and this heightened her fear and suspicion. She had never seen Daniel in such type of rage and she couldn’t help but feel frightened.He was beating the hell out of Josh and Josh was beginning to lose strength. It seemed as though he would fall to the ground any moment and she wasn’t willing to bear the pain that would come afterwards if that happens.Josh had slapped her earlier, but she wasn’t willing to keep that in a part of her heart. She knew that
Elena was breathing heavily now. It was hard to think of how he probably knew what she had in her mind at that particular point. “Just keep quiet!” She yelled at Josh who had a big smirk on his face.Josh smiled softly, still willing to proceed with his taunts and jokes.“No! I won’t. That is exactly what you have in your mind. I know you too well, Elena. I can read through your expressions”, he said while Jessica’s heart dropped.She looked around in a frenzy as she tried to think of why Josh would mention how he knew so much about Elena. He never even told her that he knows so much about her.“Jessica! Do have a nice day. I would see you some other time”, Elena said to Jessica, trying so hard to force a smile to her eyes.She was already tired of the present drama. All she wanted was to leave the scene already before the truth comes to the surface. The last thing she wanted at this point was to hurt Jessica.Josh scoffed and majestically walked over to Elena. He grabbed her on the
Gabrielle laid on the bed, with tears pouring out of her eyes. The food that was brought to her still laid on the table, clearly cold already. She couldn’t take a look at the meal since she had no appetite to eat from it. She thought of Elena and how she succeeded in concealing every single thing from her. This caused her heart to break to tiny bits. She had wanted to tell Elena about everything that happened to her. That phase of her life had been so scary that she was certain that it was going to cause a huge trauma in her life. She needed to pour her heart out to someone and the major person that came in at this point was Elena. However, she had been solely warned by Nikita and the warning came with great fear in her heart. “If you tell anyone the truth, I would kill you and your entire household!” Nikita had said to her, with seriousness visible in her eyes.Gabrielle gulped down again as she felt beads of sweats forming on her forehead and finally dropping to the ground.She
“No! Elena!” 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 couldn’t even save the woman who he claimed to love so much. “Elena! Where is she? Did she…”, 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 sister’s 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.“It’s okay”, 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
“Elena!” 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.“Get out of here!” She said to Gabrielle who couldn’t 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.“Elena!” Gabrielle rushed over to Elena to grab her. Unfortunately, she wasn’t 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.“I’m not here to save you”, 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.“What do you mean?” Elena asked as she started walking closer to Jessica who had tears in her eyes.“What do you mean by that? You are not here to help me?” Elena asked again, not wanting to believe what Jessica had just said to her.“I meant what I said. I’m not here to save you but to end you!” 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.“Don’t move or that would be your end!” The voice said and again, Elena’s 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.“If you are looking for her, she just got kidnapped”, 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 Daniel’s heart ache terribly. At this, he went over to her and hugged her passionately, placing soft kisses on her neck.“We would find her…I promise you that”, he said with a tone of assurance, even if he had no idea of how that was going to happen.“How? There are no clues anywhere. They just took her away and we have no idea of who they are”, Elena sobbed while Daniel hugged her again.Jessica slowly walked over to her and pulled her into a warm hug too.“We 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 didn’t seem to work so much since Elena blamed herself for every single thing that happened.“I shouldn’t have ever known Josh! It’s all my fault”, 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.“We 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 news”, 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 couldn’t withhold her tears at this point. She suddenly started crying aloud the moment she recalled the sight of the blood that oozed out of Jessica’s head. It was terrifying that for a moment, she was beginning to have fears that she might lose her.“Stop crying!” 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 didn’t 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 couldn’t help but feel ashamed and guilty. “Jessica!” 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.“Let her be! We have our situation to solve here”, Josh said, without a bit of feelings or emotions in his eyes. Elena couldn’t 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. “Can you hear yourself? You caused all of these and yet you stand there and ignore her?” 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 couldn’t understand how Josh could be so stupid to spew out such kind of things against Daniel.“Not another word from you, Josh!” 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 Jessica’s 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.“Daniel! You must be feeling like a super hero now. You’ve got a lady supporting you and willing to do anything for you”, he said and started laughing softly. He stopped midway and wore a big scowl on his face.“But I promise you that you won’t get her! Elena belongs to me and you are only wasting your time!” 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
