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
“I don’t believe you,” Delores said as she glanced at me. I frowned.“You said you wanted to know the truth didn’t you, why did you ask me if you were not going to trust me.”“The CCTV cameras saw you, Jared was found at your house dead, and your boyfriend was the one who called the cops on you, How can I trust you?”“The CCTV cameras saw me go in and come out, they never saw me hurting Charlotte,” Delores made eye contact with me at that point, her lips pursed into a straight line and I knew she had a lot to say.“I didn’t murder Jared, Yes I wasn’t happy that he was with my sister but I had already moved on, I was with Tyler, and we had plans of getting married, why would I throw all of that in the drain just to hurt Charlotte and murder Jared—““Maybe that was your plan all along.” She added and I rolled my eyes.“We’re being realistic here.” I deadpanned.“Easy for you to say, it’s not your aunt that is in the hospital.” She spat.“I did not put her there,” I defended.“Then who d
"Danielle!" My eyes snapped open when I heard that voice, something about the tone and manner sent me to my feet with a creased forehead, I furrowed my eyebrows and stared ahead."Danielle!"The voice roared again, it was closer and I could make out whose voice it was at this point, I bit hard ok my bottom lip and heard shifting by my side, I could barely register the shuffling when the cell gate opened and someone slammed straight into me.My face must have contorted in confusion as I locked eyes with Leon, She looked furious. Her breaths were heavier than the sound of her voice and her eyes had dark circles under them. with a spark of rage I was familiar with, She had dried tear tracks on her face and from the way, her hair invaded my skin — It was no longer in a bun.It took me a few seconds to register that I was now on the floor and another second for me to register that she was slapping me across the face from left to right, I tried to push her off me without attracting some pena
“What’s going on?” I jerked away from him when we were out of the police station.“What do you mean by what’s going on?” He retorted with a glum look, I raised an eyebrow at him.“Who sent you here, I didn’t ask for any lawyer,” I informed him.He licked his lip and permitted a tight smile “You’ll find out in due time.” He responded.“I hate surprises.” I deadpanned.“Neither do I yet here I am,” He spoke and I could barely hear him, he reached for my hand once again and I yanked it from his grip.“I’m not going anywhere till you tell me exactly what is going on.” I spat.“Would you rather go back in there?” He shot at me.“It’s better than being dead, so why—” I had already begun walking away when his arm pulled me back, I spun around and locked eyes with him, His breath seemed to causally hit my skin and I felt a wrong sensation in my stomach.“Who at you and what do you want?” I gritted out as I pulled away.“You’ll find out in due time, just get in the car.” He said as he gesture
My breath hitched, tears stung my eyes and for some reason, I felt like sobbing, I had no clue why this house made me feel so — disturbed and sad. It was almost like an overwhelming feeling of loss and pain and it kept nagging at the doors of my mind.“Is something wrong?” I heard Daniel ask.“Where did you bring me?” The words rolled out of my mouth and his silence left a bitter taste on my tongue. “Where did you bring me!” I demanded and looked eyes with him.“What is this—“ I almost cried but a voice cut through my mini rant. “I’ll be answering all your questions, Danielle.” A Thick voice spoke, my hand hung loosely on Danielle’s shirt, and emotions that I could not express ran through me, the last time I felt like this was a few years ago when Alice relapsed on Alcohol and it was not a memory I liked to recall. The voice sounded as masculine as any other voice yet it made my knees buckle, my insides didn’t twist, they were still, and my eyes stung with tears even though I had b
