Everything hurt.With every jerk and movement I felt my insides turn and my skin itch painfully, I could barely keep my eye was open as what I assumed with lights flashed over and over again.I struggled to suck in comfortable breaths but my lungs were not cooperating, I could hear drowned voices in the back ground of my distress and my body kept stiff in it's place, my eyes rolled till I could no longer see anything, all I could hear was the distressed sounds of people around me.The thick scent of disinfectant filled my nostrils and it made it harder to breathe. I wasn't sure when I went unconscious, but when I opened my eyes the first person I saw was Lee.She was dressed in a short frilly dress and had her hair loose on her shoulders, her blue eyes held worry and she had some dark circles under them, her freckles were more prominent and her multicolor frilly dress felt too vibrant."Wh—wha's goin on?" My voice came out slurred and I stopped for a moment. It took me a few seconds to

“Seven days.” Daniel breathed as he rested on the wall opposite me, I sat up on my bed. The entire experience had been draining for everyone and the silence was slowly killing me.I sucked in a sharp breath and flung my kegs over the railing. “You don’t sound too excited,” I commented softly.Daniel chuckled and walked toward me. His eyes traced my neckline where the gift he had given me two days ago, stayed. it was a blue stoned pearl necklace. It sat comfortably on my neck and ever since I wore it, He’d been staring at it.“What is going on in your head?” He asked and sat at the edge of my bed. I tilted my head at his question, I thought I was the one who could not wait to get to know what he was up to yet here he was asking me questions.“You already know what I want, I have made it clear,” I confirmed it.“This is going to change everything,” Daniel spoke. “And everyone.” He added and we locked eyes.“Well, in this life Daniel, you are either stepping on someone or getting stepped

“When I was a child, Danny I thought that everyone had a good heart,” I laughed at my thoughts, and a tear rolled down my cheek at the same time, it was almost scary how I had chances from that carefree Danielle to this volcano.It felt like I was going to explode at any moment, I had never felt this emotion in my entire life and it had never been so intense. This feeling of anger and hatred. Negative feelings were very strong. Most times they can even be blinder than love. Because their only satisfaction comes when someone suffers while love sacrifices, Hatred consumes everything and everyone. “I thought that people could change! That they had good hearts and they were sweet and I was the one doing it all wrong.” I remembered Seven-year-old Danielle who did not understand why her mother would Lock her in her room and not feed her for days, then I remember how I would analyze fourteen-year-old Danielle and try to make sense of why this woman was investing so much in someone she hate

The sound of water hitting the ground made it a bit hard on my lip. I had suddenly become super conscious over the past two days and it may or may not have had something to do with the event I had planned out for today.I bit harder on my lip as I made another cut, I felt lighter, the feeling of itching and existence was gone, I wasn’t sure this was a good idea but I also didn't know what good ideas were, all I knew what that I was embracing change, no matter how sour or wrong it felt.I made another cut and more of it fell, I could barely keep my eyes on the mirror in front of me because as much as it felt empowering, this transition felt painful. It felt like I was shedding skin and losing a part of myself.So maybe I was. But this change was as needed as it was painful. I needed to watch the other Danielle fade away before this new one took control, I needed to lose everything that made me feel like I needed to be someone who loved or cared for anyone but my goals. Being affectiona

The company building was large, From. On the outside looked like one of those huge castles that were only spoken about in movies and books only this one looked more professional.My father had an advertising company that enabled brands and business owners and even new start-ups to promote what they do effectively. They were also into shipments and distribution of coffee. I wasn’t sure how they were able to combine both, but it sounded interesting.“If Dad was here right now, he would be elated. He had always wanted you to run the company, you are his eldest child after all.” Daniel reminded me as we walked into the office. I gave him a tight smile and walked ahead.I almost stumbled when someone popped out of nowhere, her facial expression casually went from startled to shock and finally anger, Her eyes blazed with amber green fury and her lips were pursed in a tight line.“What are you doing here?” She spat as she eyed me down. I chuckled after I gauzed her down. “Did you have amnes

“Finally!” I sighed as I plopped down on the huge office chair, Danielle sat opposite me with a smirk on his face.“She won’t take this lying down, if I know Isabel as well as I do, she’s going to come up with a clap back very soon,” Daniel informed me and we made eye contact,“We’ll have to show her, her place before then. Until then though, let’s celebrate and laugh and cheer. Because this is one of the many steps we will take.” I spoke calmly. “That chair suits you,” Daniel told me. “Like it was made just for you.” He added with a small smile. “Thank you, even though I still think you should be sitting here,” I informed Daniel. “I don’t even understand how this company works and marketing. Ha! We’ll be bankrupt in a week.” We chuckled at my words.“Here I was, thinking we’d last a month!” He joked and I gasped.“A month! C’mon, I know you have faith in me, but this much? I’m a medical professional, not a marketing specialist,” I told him.“Well, it’s a good thing I’ve got experie

“The coffee tastes good right?” Daniel praised me as he showed me around the company, I nodded my head in agreement. We had been walking for over an hour and he was explaining certain aspects of the company and also showing me around the place. It was a refined environment and I was already in love with it. “I got a response from the Adams company” Daniel suddenly said and I paused abruptly. He seemed to be walking ahead but paused a few steps past me and turned around. “Get ready to meet them tomorrow evening, We got them to sign the contract.”The edges of my lip twitched and I smiled. “I just knew you could do it,” I praised him.“But you are going to have to do something to yourself, anything so that they don’t recognize you.” Daniel began. “Even if you look different with that haircut, it won’t be enough,” Daniel finished. I nodded. “What were you talking about with Lee?” He suddenly spoke after a while, we continued our mini walk around the company.“‘Nothing important. We wer

“You look stunning.” Daniel breathed.“Good,” I said as I put on my mask and glanced at the mirror. “That’s what I was aiming for,” I added.I was almost sure the person staring back at me was not Danielle. Whether it was my Scarlett hair or my blue eyes, freckles, and heavy makeup, I wasn’t sure. But the stylist that Daniel hired was good at what he did.“The car is almost here, and are you ready?” Daniel asked. “Once we start this. We’ll have to end it too.” He informed me and I smiled.“Then let's start now,” I said and walked out of the place we were in. It was a simple building where Daniel had convinced the stylist to do a makeover. He told me it would be a horrible idea to have it in public as anyone could recognize me. But now, they could not, even I could not recognize me.A smirk spread across my features, I could not help but wonder how Tyler would react when he met me, would he recognize me? I doubted it. Not if he was getting married to Megan. “What are you thinking
