Dana"Dana! You're awake!" said my mother. She walked towards me and hugged me, but I noticed she regretted it.I remembered our situation. I didn't know how to look at her because things weren't right between us.I hadn't felt a hug from my mother in days because we had distanced ourselves. Feeling her maternal warmth made me breathe easier. I was happy to have her there, but the resentment threatened to surface and ruin the moment. It wasn't easy for me to trust Mom after how she treated me.I looked at the doctor, who was standing by the door. I remembered Thomas and what he did."Mom... what are you doing here?""Demian called me to tell me what happened.""Mom..." I called her. My chin trembled, but I tried not to cry. I stretched my arms out for her to hug me again. I was afraid she would reject me, but she didn't.Mom hesitated for two seconds, then walked towards me and hugged me."Mom," I cried. "I'm going through a tough time, Mom. I'm living a nightmare.""I know we have ou
DanaMy mother watched me without understanding why I pushed her away."You're treating me like I'm crazy. I'm not crazy, Mom. What's wrong with you?" I protested."Officer, I think it's best for Dana to rest. The psychiatrist will come soon to evaluate Dana's mental health and ask her some questions. I think it's best for Dana to rest and relax," my mother commented.I also wanted the police officer to leave my room, but my mother kept treating me as if I had a mental imbalance. Rachel continued to get her way. She told me she would turn my life into a personal hell."Yes, but I'll have to return soon. We need Dana's statement for the investigation.""I don't think we need to argue, officer. The evidence against Thomas is clear. He kidnapped our daughter and kept her captive.""It's not kidnapping because I chose to go with him! Doesn't the law see that?" I judged. "You seem to be the crazy ones because you don't understand what I'm telling you. Thomas hasn't kidnapped me! He just tr
DemianThe rage was so intense that I couldn't contain myself. If he weren't behind bars, I know I'd be hitting him.Two guards tried to stop me, but I ran towards the cell where Thomas was being held. I knew they weren't allowing him visitors, but I wanted to talk to Thomas about what he did. I wanted to confront him. He stabbed me in the back. He became obsessed with Jeremy and Dana and devised a plan to attack Rachel. I couldn't just stand by. I needed to vent my anger.Rachel tried to stop me and ran after me. My beta followed me and asked me to control myself, but I ignored them. I smelled the unmistakable scent of Thomas's perfume and felt so disgusted. I reached his cell and grabbed the bars.He looked at me with a smile. I hated the way he smiled at me."What the hell is wrong with you? You're sick, Thomas. I never thought you'd be capable of something like this.""I already told you I didn't kidnap her. I helped her. But talking to you is like talking to a two-year-old. You u
DanaI looked at Clarissa in terror. I could defend myself, but the doctors were clear in telling me that I couldn't make any sudden movements because of my babies. I was stunned by her action. When she entered the room, I had a small hope that she would help me, but she ended up being part of Rachel's club. I had several enemies I had made without lifting a finger."What are you doing? Get away! Don't come near me. I don't want you back in my room. You're fired," I warned her. But I had no power to fire her. Demian hired her. Not me."Or what? Are you going to accuse me, Dana? Are you going to tell Demian that Rachel sent me to make everyone believe you're crazy? Look at yourself for a second, Dana! No one believes you! You're acting like a madwoman. Who's going to believe you?""I don't care if no one believes me, but I promise you, you'll regret threatening me."Clarissa laughed. My comment amused her."What are you laughing at? I'm serious, Clarissa. I'm not afraid of you. To me,
DanaI was alone for a few minutes before that guy came back to my room. I called him that because he was a stranger. It was so hard to understand that he had become what he is now. And my heart was still so stupid.Demian came back to the room with me. I looked at him but stayed silent because I didn't feel like talking to him. His gaze judged me. I knew he was angry with me for what I did, but Demian had no idea why things happened the way they did. People around me thought I was the villain. I was disappointed in Demian because he promised to protect me, but he hasn't lifted a finger to keep his word. I don't know why I believed him. Most of the time, I distrusted him, but I had moments of weakness when I believed him.However, I know that Demian was a victim of Rachel. She managed to make me look crazy. Rachel acted friendly with me while Demian was around to manipulate him. I always thought Demian was an intelligent person, but I was surprised by how his future wife handled him.
DanaI lost.Demian and Rachel won and got what they wanted. Rachel was going to get away with it. Demian too. I promised myself that I would defend myself if Rachel tried to hurt me. Maybe, if mother didn't want to take care of me, I could ask my mother to visit me often and stay for hours every day so that I wouldn't be left alone in the hospital and Rachel couldn't come in.The doctor entered my room."Dana, how are you feeling?" he asked."I'm worried about the babies.""They are fine. But you need to rest. I'm sorry for what they did to you, Dana. I’m your doctor, and I shouldn't have allowed you to be kidnapped."Again with the same stupid story. I had no energy to deny what had happened. No one believed me, so I wasn’t going to waste my breath trying to make people believe me."Is it true that I'll be discharged soon if everything is okay?""Yes, in a few days. Your heart is fine, despite everything, so we think it might be less stressful for you to be somewhere else. But Dana,
DemianI knew Rachel wanted me to tell Dana that I didn't love her so she could feel more at ease. I knew I owed Rachel the respect of doing so. I had hurt her and had to make amends for my mistakes. But I wasn't sure if I could tell Dana that I didn't love her. Again. I already did it once, and it almost tore my heart apart. I didn't want to hurt Dana with my words. Dana didn't need to be rejected when she felt most alone. She needed my support and affection. It would be a low blow to tell her the same thing again.I remained silent because I didn't know what to say to Rachel. I could explain my reasons, but Rachel wouldn't understand them. I was surprised that Rachel didn't kick Dana out of the house. Despite everything that had happened, she thought about Dana and the babies. But Rachel drew a fine line. I knew that if I didn't fulfill Rachel's request, she would leave me."I'm waiting for an answer. And let me tell you, Demian, it hurts not to have a yes from you. If you didn't lo
DemianI took my phone out of my pocket and looked at the screen.When I received the call from Dana's doctor, my heart raced. I feared that something bad had happened to her. I feared that she had escaped from the hospital.Rachel was by my side. I think she thought the same as I did. But Dana called to ask if I would let her see Jeremy. I said no.And Dana messed up."I don't care if you don't believe me, Demian. But I told you I haven't been kidnapped. I'm going to see Jeremy whether you like it or not. You say you want to do everything to make me feel good, but you won't let me see my boyfriend. I'm suffering because of Jeremy, did you know that? You want to take me to your house. Do you plan to stop me from seeing Jeremy? Don't be selfish, Demian," she challenged me.I was getting tired of Dana's attitude."I'm not selfish, Dana. I…""Don't pretend you're doing it for me. You're doing it for yourself, Demian. You don't want me to see Jeremy because it hurts you that I'm falling i
