"Explain" Was what came out of my mouth next.Alexander had to give me answers. Because one of these made any sense. I knew that he hadn't much luck with women and he was not the kind of man who have a wife and live alone or to even gets married.He was smart and responsible, sure and those were amazing qualities but he was never husband material and most definitely not a family man. So what was he doing here, in my room, with a little girl who had just called him dad with all the emotion in the world?"Well, I—" He began and licked his lip, I started the girl down, She was wearing all the shades of pink in the world and no one could tell me otherwise, she had plump lips and pretty dimples that made me smile but all that affection disappeared when I made direct contact with Alexander.She seemed to notice the tension in the room though because she got closer to him and clung to him tightly, her gaze hardened but she only seemed cute and chubby to me, she was trying so hard to be prote

"Okay?" Alexander whispered and we locked eyes, in that heated moment, his hands snaked to the back of my head and he leaned in, I didn't push him away, not because I was weak or because that moment I felt we had connected as parents of a child I just knew.Rather, the truth was that for the first time in my entire life, I felt I belonged somewhere, that I had something that was mine, that I had 'our' child as he had referred to and it gave me a sense of peace and belonging. The kiss was happening before I even realized but we pulled away almost immediately when a voice broke through."Ewww," Bella said and scrunched up her nose, Alexander chuckled and I quietly laughed. He walked over to her and picked her up, I took a few steps towards them. Bella stared at me with such curiosity that I could almost feel the intensity hit my skin in waves, her eyes tackled me before she glanced at Alex. "We finally see mama?" She asked again, obviously exhausted at this point and I cooed. "Yes, I

"C'mon drink up, I promise, it's not poisoned," Rye said when I hesitated, I smiled softly. "I assume that you hate me for hurting Leon?" I asked with a straight face and put the cup of brown coffee down after taking a sip,"Suprised, yes. Hate you? No." She clarified."What are you surprised about?" I pressed on with a furrowed eyebrow and brought the coffee to my lips again.She took a huge gulp of her hot coffee and my eyes widened a bit, "I just thought you were different," She spoke and glanced at me with disappointment in her eyes. I was frozen in my seat.Did people expect anything from me in the first place?"I never thought you expected anything from me," I voiced out my thoughts and she perked up at me. Her green eyes were sharp and bore holes into my skin, it took me a moment to remember that they were harmless and I relaxed."You are a lot more than you give yourself credit for Danielle." She comment and took what I assumed was the last gulp of her coffee, "what some more

“I’m sorry,” Lee sobbed and reached out to me but I recoiled. Her loose bun had fallen now and her eyes were filled with tears. I could feel the remorse oozing from her but it was completely useless at this point.The only thing I could think of was the fact that Aiden had been in the same room with my daughter and could have possibly too her away or hurt her. Living in that reality and guilt would be too much to bear.“You are not my family.” I blurted out. “Family does not do this! You knew she was my child! That is why you kept asking!” I snapped. I grabbed her by her bicep and her breath hitched.“Who sent you?!” I demanded and her eyes darted everywhere but mine. “Tell me! Who sent you? Who told you to do it?! And this time, don’t you dare lie to me!” I warned. “Look at me darn it!” I yelled and she flinched. Her eyes rested on mine.She parted her lips to speak but sobs came out, “it-it’s—“ She struggled to speak and I let her go.
FIRE CRACKER Karma is here (183)
The drive to Alexander's house had been pretty long, it was almost noon now and I knew that time was gradually running out. The more I waited, the tighter the knots in my stomach became.The journey finally came to an end when I pulled up in front of his brown cabin. I rushed out of the car and grabbed Bella from the back seat, she seemed to have slept throughout the drive and I was grateful for that because I didn't know one thing about caring for children. After three solid knocks, the door opened to reveal an exhausted Alexender who seemed to lose all his exhaustion at the sight of me. "What happened? You are here? So soon?" He questioned with a raised eyebrow and I passed Bella over to him, she subconsciously curled into him. "I have to go somewhere and I need you to promise to take care of Bella," I asked and glanced from her to him. Alexander's forehead creased and he frowned."What's going on? Where are you going and why do you look so worried?" He asked and I licked my lips
FIRE CRACKER That escalated, quickly. (184)
I shut my eyes and held my breath in resignation, if this was my fate, I would accept it with open arms. I did not have it in me to fight or struggle anymore and I was genuinely tired of living with the weight of the mistakes made by everyone but me.“Do you know one thing about you that I always liked when you were a child?” Alice asked but I kept my eyes shut, “I know you won’t answer, but I will say it anyway.” She continued.“You always knew when to give up Danielle. And now is most definitely the time—”“Please don’t!” A voice cried. My eyes shut open and I spun around in the direction of the voice and my breath hitched. “She's your daughter and the love of my life! Please don’t hurt her —”I had so much going through my mind at that moment, how did he find out the truth and what was he going on here? He sounded so desperate and sure, but this was the same man who abused my trust and life when he walked down the aisle with another woman and gave her the rights he had promised me.

"You've always done this ever since we were kids!" She roared and tears rolled down her cheek. "You were always keeping secrets and playing with everyone's lives under the pretext of doing what's best!" Alice continued and ram her hand through her hair in what I assumed was frustration."You—" Alice sucked in a sharp breath before she continued. "This was why we lost our parents! Because of your secrets and lies!" The words rolled out of her mouth and I realized that Charlotte had visibly flinched. "Even back then, I forgave you. I forgave you when Belene died. I forgave you when our parents died. I even forgave you for your relationship with my husband, the one you still have now," My eyes widened at her words, Alice was aware that Charlotte was with Elliot. But if she forgave her, then why was the basis of the fight they had? "Even when I found out that you wanted to take everything away from me, even when you manipulated Elliot into believing that I needed to be in that asylum in

"How could you?!" I yelled in Emily's face the moment I stepped on the soil of our mansion."What do you mean? What are you talking about?" Her blonde hair was tied in a ponytail and it seemed like she had been waiting for us at the entrance, her forehead was creased and her eyes narrowed at me with much confusion I doubted myself for a moment."You think I would not know? Did you think that I would not find out?!" I demanded. I was not having it today. She had no right, absolutely no right to do anything. I knew that it was not Charlotte who had told Tyler the truth, she simply had nothing to gain from it and the last thing she would have done is jeopardize her relationship with Alice.If Isabel did not tell him before, then I am sure she had no reason to do so now. Mrs. Amber, Daniel, and Elliot. They were too neutral and Daniel wanted me to start afresh with Alex, so it wasn't him, that left only one person.Emiliana. "You a
