TRUTH OR DARE chapter 129
"Dad, you're a doctor." I say in a feeble voice, a lump forming in my throat. I try so hard to keep the tears at bay."As a doctor, you know that miracles happen all the time." I pause to tame the tears. "Maybe a miracle will happen this time. Maybe you should get treatment. You are the strongest man I know. You can kill cancer. Don't let cancer kill you.""Darling," he says softly. "I'm a doctor. And I know that optimism can't cure cancer. The placebo effect is pure bullshit. It happens once in a million cases and it's only used by nice doctors to give dying patients false hope. Now that I'm a patient who's a doctor, I prefer doctors telling me the truth. And they told me that I'm dying. So I believe them.""Then get other doctors.""They'll tell me the same thing.""Then get optimistic doctors who believe in the placebo effect. Maybe that's what you need. People who believe you can beat this thing." I turn to my mom. "Mom! Talk to him!""I have." She says. "There's nothing that can

"Greece with Vanessa?"I can't believe what I'm hearing. And I can't believe Damien has the audacity to tell me something like that. He'll be going to Greece to spend time with his ex???"Yes." He repeats. "I'll go to Greece with Vanessa.""Are you going with anyone else?" I ask sharply. "Are you going with any of your friends?""No, it's just me and Vanessa.""How long will you be gone?""Two weeks.""Two weeks!" I hiss. "You are a married man, Damien. You can't just go with your ex to Greece and stay in some stupid hotel room for two weeks with your ex when you have a wife at home! What will the two of you be doing for those two weeks at the hotel rooms! Just staring at each other!"Damien gives me a tired look and sighs."We won't be fùcking if that's what you're asking!" He says. "And just like you said, I'm a married man. A faithful man too. I wouldn't betray you like that. Vanessa knows that. Plus, the woman is mourning her husband for fùcks sake. She doesn't want me to fùck her

Damien just left.He drove away a few minutes ago with his vicious ex, Vanessa.I'm lying on the carpet, staring at the ceiling. I'm confused. I don't know if I should be mad at my man. And I don't know if I'm just overreacting.Vanessa is his best friend from college. A friendship that quickly turned into a relationship. He has known her longer than me. He obviously trusts her more than he trusts me. Maybe he even loves her more than he loves me. There's a lot of history there. Lots of memories. Memories that I wish I could delete from his mind. I hope technology finds a way for us to do that...So maybe I shouldn't be mad that he went on that stupid trip with his best friend. In his head, he thinks that she's in the depths of depression after losing Leo and Sophia and he's trying to be her saviour. But she's not depressed for fùcks sake. She's the one that killed them. But Damien doesn't know that. He thinks she's an angel. But she's not. I wish he knew that she's the female version

DAMIENI yawn as I punch the button in the glass elevator. We are both exhausted when we get to the hotel, dragging our suitcases out of the elevator.We just had a twelve-hour flight. Vanessa spent most of it reading and editing some pictures. I spent most of it on my laptop but I couldn't concentrate because I was lost in my own thoughts, thinking about Dani.Dani has been calling me continuously the entire flight. But I have not picked a single call. I'm still mad at her after the fight. But that's not the only reason that I'm so mad. I'm also mad because I heard what she said to Vanessa in the kitchen..."Men are cheap as fùck. It's so easy to get them and that's why I wouldn't waste my energy fighting for them. If I lose Damien today, I know I can get another Damien tomorrow..."I went down to the kitchen to grab a bottle of beer because I couldn't sleep after the fight I had with my wife. My heart shattered into pieces when I heard her saying those words. I felt so disposable a

VANESSASo, this is what happened after Leo died.I started getting threats. Not just any kind of threats. Death threats. Death threats from one of the most dangerous drug lords, Luca Giovanni. Leo's dad. I was not surprised. Infact, I was prepared for that. I knew that his dad wouldn't believe the bullshit story about his son jumping off the cliff. His son was too obsessed with himself to commit suicide. He was not suìcidal. He was a bloody brainless brat who enjoyed the fùck out of life. So I know that he knows that I killed his son.That's why I didn't go back to the house I shared with Leo. It would be easy for him to catch me there. That's why I moved into Damien's house. Thank God he didn't listen to his stupid wife. His house has been my hiding place since I killed my husband. It's been my hiding place as I slowly plan to flee the country.Greece!That's the perfect hiding spot.I found a perfect place in Greece. It's the last place that Luca will come looking for me. I remem

DAMIENI grab my suitcase and storm out of the room.I walk towards the elevator feeling like crap. Feeling like the shittiest piece of shìt for what I just said to Vanessa. That was such a mean and monstrous thing to say. The weight of guilt sits heavy on my chest. I can't leave her just like that. I have to apologise. I turn back to find Vanessa standing at the door of her hotel room. We stare at each other for a silent moment before she starts walking to me."I'm sorry for what I said." I say quietly. "I didn't mean that.""I know." She says. "And I'm sorry for what I said about Dani. I didn't mean that. I was mad that we had just gotten here and now we have to get on a plane back home. We didn't even stay. But Dani's safety is a priority. Let's find her first. Greece can wait." That means a lot coming from her. I'm so glad that she understands the situation. She grabs her suitcase and we check out of the hotel.****We are sitting quietly in the jet, my feet fidgeting.I can fe

DANII'm locked up in an empty dark room.I don't know how I got here. I've lost track of time. From the darkness that's coming from the tiny windows, it's probably very late at night.I feel like scratching my scalp and wiping the sweat off my face but I'm tied to the chair with ropes. And there's duct tape on my mouth so there's no way I can scream.I'm feeling a lot of bad feelings. Sad. Scared. Pressed. Pissed. Terrified. Angry. But most of all, hungry. My life is on the line but all I can think about is chicken. All I can fantasise about is chicken. Not even freedom. I just want a big plate of chicken set infront of me. Then they can kill me.Another thing I want so badly is my husband. I miss Damien so much. He's all I think about apart from chicken. Maybe I would give up that plate of spicy chicken just to see him again. Just to kiss him again. Just to melt in his arms again. Just to cuddle with him one last time...I wonder if he misses me too or he's busy having a great time

NATE'S POVGrowing up, I always felt invisible.I felt like no one noticed me. No one paid attention to me. No one bothered to talk to me. If I fell dead one day, no one would attend my funeral.I always thought that was so sad.But then I slowly started to realise that it was not sad. It was a superpower. The Art of invisibility. I could do whatever I want without anyone noticing. I could go wherever I want without a single person noticing me. Invisibility was freedom.And because I'm invisible, I can follow anyone around without them noticing me. Without them noticing I'm right behind them, tracking every step.And that's why I'm following Dani right now...****I've been sitting in the backseat of my car for the past two hours.I'm outside the apartment complex that I used to live. The place where I met Dani. We made a bunch of memories here. It feels a little nostalgic to look up at the building. Eating pizza on the floor. Talking and laughing loudly. Having sèx on her best friend

DAMIENtwenty years laterIt's our twentieth anniversary.For every anniversary, we celebrate it in Bali. In the same hotel we went for our first, second and third honeymoon. There's been a lot of changes and renovations in the hotel over the years but it still gives me a feeling of nostalgia every time I come here.I step out of the shower and start drying myself with the towel.Dani is busy typing on her laptop. I apply some lotion and slide into a pair of white shorts. My wife doesn't bother to look up."George filed for divorce." I huff. "Gina cheated on him again. This time, with a younger man.""Not surprised." I sigh. "Why can't he just leave her?""He's addicted to the toxicity."Dani doesn't respond. She's still busy on her laptop. Plus, she's so over George and Gina. And honestly, so am I. For years, I wanted to save George from that abusive marriage but he clearly doesn't want to be saved. He made the bed. I'll just let him lie in it. Even if it's a bed of thorns that makes

DANII stare at Nate in shock.But he's not staring at me. He's staring at Damien."When Dani's dad shot me, I was paralysed." Nate says. "I could see everything. I could hear everything. But I couldn't move. I couldn't even feel blood oozing from my body."Okay, where's this going?"Dani was in shock after her father shot himself infront of her." He continues. "She just sat there, staring at his lifeless body. She was in shock and despair. She had lost all hope for life. That's until you came out of nowhere and wrapped your arms around her, crying. She was relieved. She was hopeful again. I was relieved too. And I was hopeful. That's when I allowed myself to pass out. All that time, I'd been forcing myself to hold on a little longer for Dani. I didn't want to leave her all alone and scared. But when you showed up, I knew she was in safe hands. So l let myself pass out."Nate finally turns to look at me, a small smile forming on his face."Remember that double date with Richard and yo

DAMIENI ring the doorbell.Dani swings the door open, dressed in her pajamas. She stares at me in complete shock and confusion."What are you doing here?" She asks in concern. "Are you okay?"I don't reply to that. I just pull her in my arms and cling to her body. I know she's pregnant and I'm probably hurting her baby but the baby will have to forgive me. I need his mother now. He can wait.Dani escorts me to the livingroom. She sneaks to the kitchen and brings me coffee. Yes, I definitely need coffee this time. I'm shaking due to the cold. Or maybe I'm shaking due to the shock. It's been a night of horror and I can't wait for it to end."What's going on, Damien?" Dani asks softly. "Where's Vanessa?"Just hearing her name sends chills all over my body. I look up at the ticking clock.The images of the last three hours play vividly in my head.Vanessa screaming in terror. Vanessa's head being chopped off. Vanessa's head being tossed in a black plastic bag like garbage. The "bad guys

VANESSABe calm.Whatever happens in life, be calm. That's one of the greatest tricks to tackle every situation in life. Be calm. Take a deep breath. Don't lose it. You might be losing it inside, but don't show them. Act calm. Act confident.I turn to look at Damien.Ofcourse I'm shocked. And confused. He just jumped out of the kitchen. He was listening to the conversation this entire time. I should have listened to my gut when I entered the house.I got a whiff of his cologne when I entered the living room. Then I got a glance of his shoes at the door. But somehow, I convinced myself that they didn't belong to Damien. A bunch of shoes look the same. And there's no way they belonged to Damien. I mean, I left him home looking hungry and exhausted. There's no way he could drive back to the city for two hours instead of taking a rest. God, I was in for a shock!But I'm still calm. "Babe." I smile. "You know I hate surprises.""Don't babe me!" He snaps. "I heard everything you just said,
TRUTH OR DARE chapter 192
DAMIENI dash into the kitchen and pour all the coffee in the sink.I don't want coffee. I want something stronger. Something like scotch. Something that will make me forget about my dad. And Vanessa. And the pregnancy scam. And the whole drug dealing thing. And the way I just talked to Dani. And the way she looked at me. All I do is hurt her with my words and actions. And all she does is be kind and nice to me. After everything I did, she's letting me spend the night at her house. God, I don't deserve her...It's pouring heavily outside.I look outside, the rain beating down on the roof and sliding down the window. For a moment there, I wish that the rain could wash away all the pain. I wish that the rain could slide down my soul and wash away all the sadness and sorrow. The doorbell rings, pulling me away from the sea of sad thoughts."Good evening, Dani." I grit my teeth when I hear that familiar voice. Vanessa. What the fùck is she doing here? How the fùck did she know that I wa

DANIDamien is standing at my door when I get home from the hospital.The second he sees me, he runs to me and our bodies clash in a tight embrace. He starts crying in my arms. And I start crying in his arms. And now we're crying in each other's arms. I don't even know why I'm crying. But I definitely know why he's crying.He lost his father. A father that he deeply loved. And today he lay his father to rest. That's hard on anyone.The sky rumbles. We break apart and silently walk into the house before it starts raining. Damien takes off his shoes and sits on the couch. I take off my black coat and sneak to the kitchen. There, I make coffee and grab some cookies from the pantry. Damien looks like he needs something stronger than coffee but it's the best choice for now. "Thankyou." He smiles when I set the tray of coffee and cookies on the table.I sit across from him, creating some distance between us. I'm just from seeing Nate in the hospital and we even kissed when I left. I wou

DAMIENThe ride home was silent.Two hours on the road with Vanessa sulking and seething and staring at me, her eyes filled with fury.The second I stop the engine, she flies out of the car and storms into the house. I follow her quickly but I can't keep up with her pace. When I walk into the house, she's already flying up the stairs.Maria steps out of the kitchen with a bunch of sandwiches on the tray."Spill the tea." She giggles. "Why is she so mad this time? What happened at the funeral?""Nothing interesting." I shrug.That's my way of brushing Maria off. Although I like her, she can be a little nosy in a way that's annoying and steps on boundaries. Vanessa is still the mother of my child. She's just a surrogate. Sometimes I think that Maria forgets that. Vanessa can be a pain in the àss but she still deserves respect as the biological mother of my child."Want a sandwich?" She offers."Sure." I grab it. "I'm starving!"I run up the stairs, chewing on the sandwich as I head to o
TRUTH OR DARE chapter 189
DANICamille's mansion was the perfect pick for the reception after the funeral.The guests are waltzing around the large livingroom, cups of coffee clutched in their hands. A bunch of bowls are sitting at the dining table with cookies and biscuits and even chocolates.I'm sitting on the couch next to Camille, munching on the crunchy cookies. Her face is blank and void of emotion but I know that deep down, she's having an emotional crisis. A few hours ago, she broke down as her husband was put to the ground. I can't imagine what that felt like for her. Spending half of your life with someone and then having to watch their lifeless bodies being lowered to the ground. Tragic."Look at them!" Camille points to Damien and Vanessa. "She's always complaining about something. They should break up already."They seem like they are fighting. Vanessa is nagging about something. And Damien is glaring at her. They are obviously the unhappiest couple in the room. I get a little thrill watching the
TRUTH OR DARE chapter 188
DAMIENVanessa slides into her black heels and walks towards me.She stands so close, looking up at me. There's a blank look on her face and it's kinda creepy. She straightens my collar and starts fixing my black tie."I'm going to ask you something and I want you to be completely honest with me."The cold tone in her voice sends shivers down my spine. She's not been speaking to me the entire morning. I thought it was odd but chose not to overthink it. I thought it's because we were both busy getting ready for the funeral. I thought maybe she's giving me some space and silence because this is the day that I lay my dad to the ground. From the tone of her voice, that's clearly not the case. She's mad at me. And from the way she's playing with this tie, I might end up getting strangled if I don't provide the answer that she wants. And that makes my heart start racing."Have you been fùcking Dani?"I can't help but laugh. I thought it was something serious. Something that was going to be
