Twists and Turns. REWRITING
I would love to thank all of y’all for your unwavering love. Thank you for the support you've given this book and for sticking with me. However, this new year I went through the book and discovered a lot of issues with the book. The book is by no means a reflection of my writing style. I made a lot of errors and failed to upload on time because I didn't know the direction of the book. I would like to rewrite the book. There aren't a lot of changes to be made. I want to make this book better for all of y'all. Please comment your thoughts and thanks for your support.Happy New Year,Love from your author❤️

“How can you start without the star of the show?” Her voice was loud enough for most people to hear and for the people who didn’t, her presence was enough to attract the attention of everyone.She hadn’t walked into the banquet. She just stood in front of the two large doors and she was shining like a diamond.She wore a sapphire blue gown that hugged her body perfectly, revealing the curves she’d gained over the months. The gown had real tiny diamonds all over it that she just sparkled and it reached her ankles. Her long earrings, heart-shaped necklace, bracelet, and shoes were also sapphire blue. Everything matched her sparkling blue eyes. Her hair was done in a high ponytail, revealing her beautiful features. She held a small blue purse to accessorize.By the time everyone had come back to their senses, she had already walked in and stood in front of the Devane Family.“Hello father,” She greeted him with a smile. Whether it was real or fake, Mr Devane didn’t know.“You… what are yo

Saturday morning arrived and Rory decided it would be a good idea to watch something with Daniel.“How about we binge a whole series?” She suggested to Daniel. Lucas had already gone back to the Froster house for the weekend, and the house was getting kind of boring.“Binge?” Daniel raised a brow.“Yeah. I was thinking a superhero series.” Rory said. “I know you must be busy, but let's watch it,” She clasped her hands and pouted,”Pretty please”.Daniel sighed and said, “Fine.”“Yay!” She jumped up excitedly.Rory also managed to get Daniel to match outfits with her. They both wore a grey hoodie and joggers.“We are matching!” Daniel was mesmerized by how happy and cute she looked. She was very beautiful with her wide smile. He knew from that moment, he'd do anything to retain that smile on her face.Even though they had a home theatre, Rory opted for the living room. They snuggled together on the couch and started watching ‘The Flash’.Daniel was paying attention to Rory’s expression

Daniel drove her to school. Surprisingly, the atmosphere wasn't as weird as she expected it to be after the previous night’s events. Before they arrived at school, she asked Daniel to get her a birth control pill.She didn’t want to get pregnant. Not yet at least.She kissed Daniel and got out of the car, with Lucas.Daniel went to the office, and everyone was shocked. He wasn't smiling or dancing, but the oppressive air and cold aura disipiated. He was a perfectionist and hated any kind of mistake, so when a head of department made a mistake during a presentation and he didn't fire him, in fact he even corrected him, sent the whole company into frenzy.They wondered what could have put the boss in a good mood.“Maybe he finally found a girlfriend,” A female employee suggested to the others. They usually didn't gossip because nothing big ever happened at Froster Corp, but this was news to be talked about.“I think so too.”“I wonder who she is? Someone formidable I presume” Another w

The day of the competition finally arrived and everyone in class D wished Rory, Terrence, and Anna ‘Good Luck’.Before Rory left for the competition, Butler Zoe announced that they had guests, so she and Daniel came downstairs. The so-called guests were Nate, Siao, Asher, Oliver, and Tyler.“What are all of you doing here?” She was taken aback. “To wish you good luck, silly” Siao smiled at Rory. She was wearing a black fur trench coat with her hands in her pocket.“Awwwn. Thank you guys so much!” Rory’s heart melted.“We also have gifts for you” Nate wiggled his brows.Tyler stepped forward and gave her a four-leaf clover, Asher gave her a passport picture of a celebrity.“Who's this?” Siao asked.“It's my husband, Arturo! He's a big international actor and singer!” She gushed.“And you gave her that as a gift because?” “Because he's my good luck charm. He will help you during the exams!” “Thanks?” Rory furrowed her brows, unsure of what to say. It was a gift of good measure.Nate
Last Updated : 2024-05-21Twists and Turns. CHAPTER FIFTY FOUR. ENEMIES
The exams end well with no interference. However, Rory wasn't very delighted with the turn of events.The Devanes managed to restore their image in the eyes of the public because Samantha landed a role as the female lead in a movie that was popular. After all, it was adapted from a best-selling novel. She remembered that that was the same movie Siao had asked her to audition but she didn't go. She didn't want to be an actress but everything that belonged to Samantha was rightfully hers, so she was going to get it back.To her, the best kind of victory is the one where you stand in front a floor-to-ceiling window, sipping an expensive red wine while staring out the window looking at the bustling night city with a smirk on your face, knowing your enemy's victory is just fleeting.***Daniel had come to pick her up and they arrived home. They were going to go to the Froster Mansion in the evening.Rory had already chatted with her friends when Miss Agatha’s call came in.“Rory dear, I w
Last Updated : 2024-06-04Twists and Turns. CHAPTER FIFTY FIVE. Blaire’s Banquet.
Blaire’s family was the richest in the whole T.H.S., but she decided to attend T.H.S. Her family had business dealings with the main 6-Daniel, Siao, Tyler, Asher, Oliver, and Nate, and they always got invited to the Banquet every year. This was one of the Banquets that the main 6 had to attend since Blaire’s family was part of the main 10 in the business world. As for why the Devanes were here, that was a question to be answered later. “Is that the Daniel Froster!?” Kay exclaimed. “Oh my God! That’s Nate Ardie, one of the best doctors in the world!” Louisa was shocked. “And I’m David, the hottest guy in T.H.S!” The girls turned their heads to him and Frank asked, “What are you talking about?” “I thought we were out here spitting random facts about people” He answered with a shrug. “Emphasis on facts” Kay scoffed. “But what are the Devanes doing here?” Terrence’s voice dripped with disdain. Everyone turned to look at Blaire. “I have no clue. I only invited you gu
Last Updated : 2024-06-05Twists and Turns. CHAPTER FIFTY SIX. SAMANTHA DEVANE.
Samantha Grace Devane had green eyes and blonde hair that she straightened and stopped at her back. She was happy and fulfilled after she got the lead role in the movie which was an adaption of a popular novel. Samantha was highly talented in acting and she was intelligent. But there was one constant thorn in her life, Aurora Devane. Aurora was prettier, nicer, more talented, and more intelligent than she was. Plus she was the eldest daughter of the Devane family. Samantha’s mother, Vivian, made it clear that if Aurora was in the picture, she could never be the best and Samantha had to be the best. If she wasn’t, her mother wouldn’t like her. Every time she and Rory had an encounter, Rory always mentioned that she was an illegitimate child and a thief. She stole what was meant to be Rory’s: Her family, her name, her life, and her friends. But now, she had one thing that was solely hers: her acting career. She worked hard for it and got the role without having to use her name. At

Twists and Turns. THANK YOU!
I have no words to express the immense happiness and joy I feel over this book. I was very young when I started this book two years ago and I made quite a lot of errors😂. I didn't upload for a while and so many mistakes that I wanted to give up on this book but my editor gave me the best advice that has helped me so much in my writing career: Always keep writing. To all the votes, comments, and readers, I just want to say thank you for joining me on this story. Rory and Daniel’s story will forever have a place in my heart as one of my best works. But this is not the end of their story! You can see them in future sequels of all the characters in this book. No character is being left out but this is their story so any plot points not explored in this book will be explored in their books.

Twists and Turns. CHAPTER HUNDRED. TWISTS AND TURNS.
The sun kissed the horizon as golden waves lapped softly against the shore. Rory’s laughter filled the air, a sound Daniel had feared he might never hear again. She ran ahead of him, her hair whipping in the salty breeze, her bare feet sinking into the cool sand.“Come on, slowpoke!” she called out, grinning over her shoulder.Daniel jogged to catch up, a small smile tugging at his lips. The past year had been a blur of pain, healing, and rediscovery. Therapy had helped Rory process the loss of their unborn child, and while the ache would never fully vanish, she had learned to carry it with grace. Daniel had his own scars, some visible, others etched deep within, but seeing Rory’s light return had made his burdens lighter.“Slowpoke?” he teased, catching her around the waist and spinning her. Her laughter bubbled out, bright and free. “I’m the one who kept up with you in therapy runs, remember?”“Barely,” she quipped, playfully swatting his arm as he set her down.They walked along th
Twists and Turns. CHAPTER NINETY-NINE. STORMY.
The hospital room was a hollow shell of life, filled with the mechanical hum of the ventilator and the faint beeping of the heart monitor. Rory sat by Daniel’s bedside, her fingers gently wrapped around his cold, unmoving hand. The once vibrant man she loved was now a pale reflection of himself, his face gaunt, his body thinner than she remembered. His smile, the light in his ocean-blue eyes, the warmth of his laughter—all of it had vanished into the sterile silence of this room.Rory’s cheeks were streaked with tears, her throat raw from months of pleading. She spoke to him as though her words could reach him, as though somewhere in the depths of his unconsciousness, he could hear her and find his way back.“Daniel,” she whispered, her voice trembling, “do you remember that summer we spent by the lake? You swore you’d teach me to fish, but I ended up tangling the line so badly we had to cut it. You laughed so hard you couldn’t even be mad at me.”Her fingers tightened around his, as
Twists and Turns. CHAPTER NINETY EIGHT— BLUR.
The ambulance lights flickered like a warning, their red glow staining the night. Rory knelt beside Daniel, her trembling hands pressing against the gushing wounds. Blood soaked through her clothes, hot and unrelenting, as though time itself had opened its veins to bleed alongside him. His face was pale, his lips cracked, yet his eyes-oh, those eyes--still found hers, still held her like an anchor in the storm. "Stay with me, Dani," she whispered, her voice a broken hymn. But her words fell like ash, scattered by the wind. His smile was faint, weaker than the last exhale of a dying candle. "You will always... make me stay." And then his eyes fluttered closed. She screamed. A sound ripped from the marrow of her bones, a raw and primal anguish that silenced the world around her. Nate flinched at the sound, his breath hitching as he stumbled back. Rory crouched over Daniel's body, her hands now shaking too violently to apply pressure to the wounds. She was crumbling before him,
Twists and Turns. CHAPTER NINETY-SEVEN. DANIEL!
Rory’s gaze locked onto the tail lights flashing like taunts in the distance. The night was thick, the road weaving like a black ribbon through the desolate countryside. Nate gripped the wheel beside her, jaw clenched and eyes narrowed in concentration, while Oliver sat in the backseat, his laptop balanced on his knees, fingers flying over the keys.“They’re gaining speed,” Rory muttered, adrenaline flooding her veins. “Can you keep up, Nate?”He gave her a quick, fierce nod. “I’m not letting him get away with Daniel.” His voice was tight with determination, as he pressed down harder on the gas. The engine roared in response, pushing the car forward as it veered dangerously around another sharp bend.Oliver’s face glowed from the laptop screen in the backseat. “I’m trying to hack into Jordan’s phone,” he said, his tone laced with urgency. “If I can disrupt his GPS or disable the car remotely, it’ll give us an advantage.”Rory threw a glance over her shoulder. “How long will that take?
Twists and Turns. CHAPTER NINETY-SIX. DEAD.
“Right!” She yelled, jerking away from Jordan’s evil touch. “Really? Well, I’m sorry, love. Your guess is wrong!” Jordan informed her and she closed her eyes, trying to stop the tears from flowing.“Please don't kill them! Please!” She pleaded and Jordan clicked his tongue repeatedly. “Awww. But you should have guessed properly!” He brought out a gun and shot the woman on the right in the head. ‘Bam!’“No!” She shrieked. “No, no, no! You monster! You freak of nature! No wonder your parents die! They deserved to die than to see the monster that you've become! Yes! They deserve to die!”“What did you just say?” His head snapped to hers, looking her dead in the eyes, his gun pointed at her, daring her to speak.The gunshot echoed in her ears over and over again but she didn't care. He should get it over with. “I said that your parents deserved to die the way that they did! Who would want to have a deformed and debased being as their son? I most certainly would not even if my life depen
Twists and Turns. CHAPTER NINETY-FIVE. MIND GAMES (4).
[Trigger Warning: Mention and mild depiction of SA. I tried my best to shorten it.]***They said darkness enveloped you when you were dead. However, Rory felt the opposite. Darkness shrouded her because she was hopeless. Because no one was going to save her but herself. That's what she did. She played the part of a docile girl after the beatings Jordan had given her. She stopped saying, ‘Fuck You’ and curled herself into a ball and sobbed. Jordan crouched down beside her, as her shoulders shook. “Awww. Weren't you the one who wanted to pretend to be brave, Aurora? You know I like you like this. Weak, defenseless, and helpless.” He reached out and touched her hair, twirling them in his fingers but Rory kept shaking, tears streaming down her face.It felt like a thousand horses were stampeding on her body and that she was being thrown off a cliff, over and over again that the pain became a sound. It was a sound at this point, pushing her to the brink of insanity.Jordan smiled, a rea
Twists and Turns. CHAPTER NINETY-FOUR. THE FARCE-MIND GAMES(3).
The table was the only thing dividing Oliver and Daniel. But what kept Daniel calm was a mystery to Oliver as the video on his laptop played. Daniel had aged badly. He had stubble, his eyes were heavy, and dark circles covered the beauty of his steel eyes, still, the sharpness in them swirled as he peered at the screen. What was playing was a blurry video of a woman in the car who had almost hit Nana Clarisse as she tried to escape. It was very fleeting and unclear but he got a glimpse of those blue eyes and he knew who it was. His Koala. “How is the old woman?” he asked monotonously. Life had been sucked out of him these past few weeks and to make matters worse Rory’s family had been attacking his company non-stop because they blamed Daniel for everything. Oliver understood that they had lost their daughter twice and this was a normal reaction but how did this solve the problem? Although both sides were working together to save Rory. That was the most important thing at this poi
Twists and Turns. CHAPTER NINETY-THREE. MIND GAMES(2)
The car sped down the road, its headlights cutting through the night like blades. The hum of the engine was the only sound in the tight space, broken occasionally by the crackle of the walkie-talkie. Rory packed at the side of the road, gathering her thoughts. “This is The Riddler to Sleeping Beauty, do you copy?” Jordan’s voice came over the static. “The Riddler. I like ‘The Riddler’ but that’s already taken. What about ‘The Puzzler’? No that sounds terrible. What do you think, Sleeping Beauty?” Aurora hesitated, her fingers gripping the steering wheel so tightly that her knuckles whitened. Her eyes narrowed in on her target. The task he gave her was to run over Nana Clarisse, who was buying something beside the road. He wanted her to kill her Nana? How could she? How would she? “Sleeping beauty? I asked you a question. Which name do you want me to use? I need an answer.” Rory would never take for granted his light and playful tone. He never joked around. Everything he said was
