“The notebook!”I yelled at the top of my lungs and rushed into the room, the flames were completely off now and I could see the drawer from my peripheral vision. I increase my pace toward it and pulled out my key, relief washed over me as I realized the key was still with me, maybe I had been over-reacting and the book was actually —The diary was missing.I froze as I stared at the empty wardrobe which once held one of the most important parts of my life, I bit hard on my lip and clenched my fists, this could not be happening to me, not again.I could not help but wonder how and why this was always happening, whether I was close enough, someone or something would break the bridge between me and my goal, whether it was an object, an event, or an act, someone was pulling the strings and I was it was not Alice. I tugged at my heart and bit my lip harder. I needed to think and do something immediately, it was basically either now or never, as I stormed out of my room I stumbled into Em
"We ran a lot of tests on her when she came in, George handed these to me," Mr Marshal said as he passed me a file, I furrowed my eye rows but collected it.The man shifted in his soft black leather seat and sighed. He was wearing a brown suit with checkers shirt, his naturally dark hair was dyed brown and he over-hyped signature glasses sat on his nose.He seemed to be gawking at the me for the first few seconds but eventually gave in and spoke. "Is there anything specific you are looking for Mrs Dawn?" He asked as he glanced from me to the door where I was sure Emilia was peeping from."Miss Charlotte was diagnosed with Amnesia, how true is it?" I asked directly. He seemed taken aback by my forwardness even though he was the one who asked me to be straight forward, he adjusted his tie and his lips pursed into a straight line."May I ask why you need this information?" His voice was stiff and low."It's for an investigation and I need you to help me verify it, please." I begged.Mr.
"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
