“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

The person staring back at me had amber green eyes and a perfect jaw. Her blush was light but evident, her eyes were spooked with eye shadow and her lips pursed into a straight line. I groaned and loosened my bun again, my face fell for the millionth time and I grumbled something unintelligible under my breath. I glared at my reflection in the mirror again, this time my forehead was creased and my mascara was ruined. I had never had issues putting on makeup until now. Even though I had never actually been overly obsessed with it, it was never really something I had to worry about or think too much about, so I let it be half of the time. Yet today, when all I wanted to do was put on some light makeup and get this over with, I found my hands trembling and chest tightening awkwardly, the room temperature was suddenly over the top and my mascara kept smearing as if someone was purposefully ruining it. “You still have time to call it off” Emily’s voice rang in my head and I froze. It t

They stopped me.Gun blazing, multiple shots, fireworks, the alarms going off, the yelling, ear piercing scream. The blood. Oh. The thick freaking scent of blood. I felt like I was thrown from the aisle to some blood-sucking horror movie where all I could do was watch, because that I was all did. I didn’t have it in me to move, not even when Alexander got shot and Alice took a bullet for me.“Danielle! What are you doing?!” I heard someone pull me to the ground, I almost smacked my head on the ground and when I raised it to see who had pulled me down, it was Tyler, his perfect dark hair was a mess and his eyes held panic. I parted my lip to speak but the sounds of gunshots silenced me. It went on for a few minutes before it stopped. Everywhere was a mess.I gradually stood to my feet. The flowers that decorated the aisle were scattered around with blood on them. The red carpet was wet and the chairs were turned upside down. Straight ahead the walls had writing on them, I took two s

“Alice, I need you to breath and stop talking about the past, okay?” I croaked out and glanced ahead. I wasn’t sure where we were or what hospital we were going to, I just hoped we would get there soon.“I was... I was frustrated with life and... and I thought you were dead and I would never get to see my other children. That was why I was so brutal... I decided that if my child could not be happy, then neither would hers and that backfired” She put her oxygen mask back on and gasped for air. “I-i’m so sorry,” Alice begged as she strained her eyes on me. “Alice now is not the time—”“No, I am so sorry Danielle, I’m sorry for everything.” She begged. “For all the abuse, pain, and humiliation you had to go through as a child.”She apologized and I looked away. A tear rolled down my cheek.It was one thing if someone else tried to understand my pain and another thing if the person who inflicted it and who had gaslighted me for years, was admitting to my face that she did it, to be hones
