"Um, I don't think this is the way home?" I heard Emilia ask as I sped down the road."We aren't going home." I deadpanned and she turned to make eye contact with me, I saw her from the drivers mirror but stayed focused on the road "Remember when you said you wanted to go to Tyler's house?" I asked with a tight smile."Well, um, yeah, yeah, I do, what does that have to do with anything?" She asked hesitatingly."I need you to get him and Leonardo out of his house once we get there and—""Wait-wait- wait, How am I supposed to do that again?" She asked with wide eyes."I'm sure you will figure it out, you are an intelligent, besides you offered and now I don't have anyone else to help me!" I asked with a pout.Emily stared at me for a few seconds before she groaned "Ugh! Fine!" She groaned. "But just this once, only this once!" She reminded."Yes,Yes, I got it!" I responded as I pulled over opposite their house, I glanced over at the building, I wasn't even in their and I could feel but
I got out of the car immediately they were out of my line of sight and walked briskly towards the door. Of course, they had been so busy they left the door open.I could not help but wonder what she had offered them to make them leave like that, I never though he would get so engrossed in a woman, then again, there were a lot of things I never thought Tyler could do that he was currently doing. The house was cleaner than I though, I half expected it to be messy, unkept or who knows what, but apparently Tyler kept it pretty neat and down to earth, I would have given him credit but we had broken up according to me and I was petty.I took a few confident steps into the house and checked each room, The house looked prettier than I remembered, it seemed Tyler had taken that remodeling I suggested a bit to far,especially with the purple walls, I was sure I did not mean that he could paint his walls my favorite color.But each to their own right?I checked each room that was in the house a
“What happened?!” I heard Emily breathe as I reached the car, I stumbled and rested on the door, in a split moment she was at my side but nothing could save me from the storm that had begun to brew inside of me.I had seen him. I had seen the man who ruined my life and completely shattered my dreams, The man who tore away the inky father figure I had and made my stepsister the monster she was.“Danielle, say something! I’m getting worried.”A tear rolled down my cheek but I wiped it away and locked eyes with Emilia’s large orbs, “I saw him.” I whispered. “I saw the man who murdered my father and this time, now that I know that he is in Los Angeles, I will make him pay,” I promised. “By book or by crook,” I added and got into the car.“But where are we going?” I heard Emilia ask when I started the engine, I licked my lips.“We’re going to meet with the investigator, Mr. Edward,” I informed her and kept my eyes on the road.“Oh, you mean that guy you told us all about you, the same guy?”
"E–em-Emily! Emily! Call an ambulance! Emily!" I screeched, I heard loud footsteps and a stumble, and I heard shuffling as well but I did not dare look away from the body in front of me.At this rate, there would be a trail of dead bodies after me. And it would be all my fault Matilde, Jared, and now, Edward. I could not help but wonder, Who was next? Mrs. Amber? Charlotte? Emily? Leo or Tyler? Someone could be next and my heart ached at the thought, I had to stop this man before he completely ruined my life and I needed to do it soon.I scrambled up to my feet, my hands shook and I could barely see through my blurred vision, I had seen too many dead bodies in less than three days, I took a few steps toward the living room and almost ran into Emily,“I’ve called 911, what do we do now? Do we wait?” She asked. I shook my head and glanced at all the files that were scattered around.“The person that murdered Edward wanted something, something that was very important, they turned this p
I pulled to a halt in front of the house, my heart had dropped into my stomach so many times and Emily was openly sobbing, I had never seen her cry and it tugged on my heartstrings even though I would rarely admit it.The sight we met was even more terrifying than at of our thoughts could have been, there were yellow duct tapes around the house and it was filled with police officers,Emily and I shared eye contact for a split moment and I got chills down my spine at the thought that something had happened to Mrs. Amber, A lump grew in my throat as I opened the door of my car but I could barely get a foot in before a police officer jogged over to me.He was a brunette with green emerald eyes, His nose was pointed and he had tanned skin, His lips were pursed into a straight line, and his eyes pierced into me. He gestured for me to get down and although it felt like I had been hypnotized, I was sure it was just my legs moving on their own again.I stepped down and Emily seemed to follow
"I see you are not going to confess anytime soon." The Scarlett-haired woman spat as she stared me down, her gaze was stiff and icy cold but I matched it and my lips pursed. Straight line."I have nothing to talk to you about, I already said I am innocent and I have nothing more to discuss with you, I want to see my lawyer now! And what about my phone call? I know my rights, this is illegal!" I snapped."Don't you dare try to tell me what is illegal and what is not illegal!" She boomed back at me, I licked my lips and tried to control my breathing. "Lower your voice," She suggested and pointed a finger at me. "I know my rights." My voice was calmer and I kept my eyes on her, We had been going back and forth ever since I got here and she had completely dismissed my request to make a phone call or reach out to my lawyer. We were currently in the interrogation room and she was trying her absolute best to intimidate me, I was tempted to tell her I had been through much worse and she cou
“What the —” The words rolled out of my mouth and I paused to take in the sight in front of me.I could never forget those amber green eyes and blonde hair, The curves, Collar bone, the cheeks, eye size, everything was just—“How—” I tried to speak but no words came out, I was desperately struggling to make sense of what I was seeing, and at this point, I felt all of this was a dream and I would wake up anytime soon.“How is this even possible.” My voice quivered as we locked eyes.“It’s very possible Danielle. It is very possible that we are identical and also the fact that you tried to murder my aunt!” She growled. I felt my forehead crease, my hands became sweaty and I tapped my feet against the ground and squinted. Her aunt? “Charlotte is your aunt?” I questioned and she rolled her eyes “I did not hurt her at all, You must be Delores then, I promise that I did not go anything—”In a split moment, she grabbed my neck and was choking me. My eyes widened, I glanced from her to the
"Are you okay?" I initially assumed that it was Leon who was speaking but I was stunned when I locked eyes with Delores and gradually registered the fact that we were the only ones in the room."I'm fine, I responded, I don't like having anything forced on me," I added softly,Her lips curved into a small smile like mine usually would, She squinted with her eyes and I saw her body relax, "Should have thought about that before you did what you did," She shot back and turned away from me, I was almost sure she was heading out the door when she paused in front of the table that was a few feet from me and grabbed the chair. "I didn't do anything," I assured.Delores glanced up at me and I find to see the distrust and desperate urge to contain her anger in her eyes, instead of bursting out like a volcano, She beckoned me to come and seat with her hand and I obeyed."Why did you do it?" She asked, her tone was free of judgment but her eyes flashed with pain and frustration."I didn't do a
