That makes two of us (150)

“Danielle is not alone in this,” Daniel chimed in and my eyes darted towards him in confusion, he looked his hands in his and continued. “I would willingly give her my shares, after all, you all seem to think that I am incapable of running the company after all,”“No,” I stopped him right in his tracks. Daniel raised an eyebrow at me in confusion and Isabel seemed appalled. “I won’t take your rights,” I said this while staring directly at Isabel, the atmosphere in the room went bald, the walls seemed to be closing in on us all and for a moment there, I struggled to breathe.“That is the big difference between you and me Isabel,” I informed her. “You are used to manipulating and using everyone to get what you want while I am capable of standing on my own two feet without support,” I added.“And that suddenly makes you a better person?” Isabel countered with an eye roll. “You can fool everyone around you Danielle, but not me.”“The only one masquerading around here is you and you know i

Snap his neck? (151)

"Danielle!" Daniel called out when we had gotten to the living room. I spun around and parted my lips to speak with a hardened expression. "I want to speak to Jared," The words came out forced and I bit hard on my lip to feel anything else than the emotions that were banging on the walls of my skin. "As soon as possible," I added. My eyes stung with fresh tears and I clenched my fist. Jared could not play with my feelings this way and expect to get away with it, He made me believe that he had died because of him, I mourned him for months and I almost lost my freedom because of it.A loud crash sent me spiraling back to reality and it was then I registered the fact that I had thrown a vase off the shelf in the living room. The brown walls glared at me and I glared back, I was sure they could hear the storm that was raging in my soul because I was sick and tired of people playing with me."I don't think that is a good idea, Dani—""Don't tell me what to do!" I snapped with a glare. My e

The monsters are back (152)

I dragged my feet into the living room, Daniel seemed to be frozen in his place but I knew I had to move, I needed to find out what had happened there. If Jared had been in there, then I was not leaving without an explanation. This could be a prank for all I knew. Right?The thick red liquid that was casually crawling from inside the house collided with my feet and I sucked in a sharp breath. I glanced back at Daniel who seemed to be petrified at the sight of blood, I braced myself as I gave up on Daniel and decided I would figure things out myself.I walked into the hallway, this house was huge but I felt like the walls were closing on me because of the silence in them, I swallowed and took another step forward. Unlike this previous home, they were artistic paintings here that had an uncanny resemblance to mine.I paused when I reached what seemed like the last door in the home, for some reason, my hands shook as I reached out to open it and to my huge surprise, there was nothing in

You are here (153)

The sound of the water hitting the ground sent me back into waves of memories I never thought water could trigger. The funny thing about trauma and abuse was that it wasn’t until someone attacked you that you remember. It wasn’t until someone said it word for word or taunted you.It was in those little things and little moments. The way the breeze moved, the sound of the trees, the sound of glass breaking, muffling, loud sounds, quarrels, scents, or the way someone walked or looked. The worst part is that your biggest trigger could be you.It could be looking in the mirror and seeing someone who is so broken it makes you wonder how and why she even kept going. Sometimes I ask myself; Why had I not slit my wrists earlier? Why had I never taken that initiative? People say that the easiest way out of pain is death.Why had I chosen to stay with Alice all along? What was my purpose? Why was I even doing all of this? Revenge, money, power, influence. Of what use was it, if ever since the t

You make horrible decisions (154)

"I'm not helping you out." I said while staring her in the eye. I watched her eyes fill with horror and confusion pierce her. She had no been expecting that. She was probably expecting that Danielle who was innocent and loved everyone. "Sure, a month or two ago I would have been given up my life for you in a heart beat, but you killed that Danielle all by yourself aunt." I informed her and a tear rolled down her cheek. "What even makes you think that I can help her? Haven't you heard? Danielle is good for nothing! I've always been bad luck! I've ruined everyone's life! I destroy whatever I come in contact with. But you— You ruined everything." I said as I got closer to her, "You broke me first" I spat and the tears in my eyes fell down my cheek. "I didn't want to hurt you Danielle, i love you—" "Don't you talk about love!" I boomed. "Don't you ever talk about love!" I cried. "You havs have made a joke out of it! People like you, take good person and turn them into monsters! So I ho

Please, help me. (155)

“C’mon, put her in the car,” I instructed one of the men who worked at her home. I watched as Charlotte followed the men carrying Leon out of the house, I trailed after them casually and I struggled to come up with valid reasons to ask for help,It had been years since I had seen him. And there was no form of assurance that he would even be available for this yet here was running over to his house like we had been best friends. As much as we had our differences and Disagreements, Alexander was the only person who could save Leon now.I met him in my third year at college. He was studying to become a scientist and I as well as quite induced in becoming a Family doctor. I had never really been clear in any of my specifications because I never wanted to study Medicine in the first place. Things changed after that third year though, When I met Alexander. He was popular, but not a playboy or obnoxious or anything you would find in those cliche movies or books. Alex was a down-to-earth and

Alexander (156)

“She’s stable now.” Alexander informed us all as he walked into the room, I sighed in relief and plopped down on his blue sofa, these past four hours had been one of the hardest hurdles to face. From my peripheral vision, I could see Alexander staring at me fixedly. It was almost as if he desperately wanted to speak to me but I wasn’t interested in anyway, I already had so many things going on and as much as I was grateful, I also knew I was better off without the people in my past.“Thank you,” Charlotte whispered, I had not done this for her so I had no clue why she felt somewhat inclined to apologize or give me an explanation. Instead of gracing her with any response, I stood up and walked over to Alexander. At this rate, I had been willing to leave one issue and jump right into another.I licked my lips and endured his burning gaze into my skin while I reminded myself that once Leon was okay, we would get out of here and I would never see his face again, boy, was I dead wrong. “So

What happened that night (157)

“What’s up with him?” I heard Alex speak after Daniel had stormed off, I was still staring in the direction he had left but I was conscious of the footsteps that got closer to me, I spun around before Alex could get close enough and made eye contact with him for a split moment.“Nothing, it’s none of your business.” I spat and took a few steps away from me but he pulled me back.“Why are you pushing me away Danielle? I thought we had sorted out our differences and—“ He raised my hand and showed me that my ring finger had no ring.“You are a free woman.” He explained. “What’s stopping us now?” He questioned and I could see the creases on his forehead. I swallowed and yanked my wrist from him. “Sure, there was a time I loved you.” I breathed and looked into his eyes. “but that was when I was Danielle, That impulsive, innocent teenager.” I explained, “I am no longer that girl, she died years ago and so did every emotional connection she had and I intend to keep it that way.” I informed

Fight or flight? (158)

My insides clogged up. I could barely breathe or feel anything g as the paper slipped from my hands. I had expected something horrible, something devastating or some mastermind plan, but not this, nothing like this. Even a hot shower would not be able to quench the intense pain I was feeling. I felt so confused and plagued. I had so many intense emotions brewing up a storm inside of me and I was almost terrified concerning which was going to take the lead.I dropped down to my bed. My eyes stung with tears and my hands felt so they that I could not move them or try to wipe the tears away. Three years. Three long years and now this comes up. I know that I have said many times, that nothing could have prepared me for this or that. This time I meant it. Nothing, nothing felt more intrusive and painful as a thing.It almost felt as if I had been living myself but I had no clue what was going on. I laid back on my bed. A tear rolled down my face and my chest tightened. I felt goosebumps

I can’t breathe (159)

As I gradually regained consciousness, I felt a dull ache at the back of my head and my wrist hurt. My eyelids felt too heavy to move and my chest felt constricted.I could hear worried murmurs in the background but I could not make out anything that was being said, I would have grumbled underneath my breath but my lips felt glued together before I could go straight into panic mode, I felt somewhere deepen.It took me a few seconds to register the fact that I was on a bed, A felt an emotion I could not identify hit me in waves and confusion saturated the atmosphere, the last thing I remembered was reading that letter and the door that slammed open, but the crazy headache in my head did not let me go any further.My eyes snapped open in one move. It seemed my curiosity and anxiety had gotten the best of me, but it was all for nothing because I locked eyes with Alexander.“What are you doing here—” I said as I tried to sit up, He was at my side in a moment.“You shouldn’t try to get up,
