All Chapters of FIRE CRACKER : Chapter 181 - Chapter 190

"Okay?" Alexander whispered and we locked eyes, in that heated moment, his hands snaked to the back of my head and he leaned in, I didn't push him away, not because I was weak or because that moment I felt we had connected as parents of a child I just knew.Rather, the truth was that for the first time in my entire life, I felt I belonged somewhere, that I had something that was mine, that I had 'our' child as he had referred to and it gave me a sense of peace and belonging. The kiss was happening before I even realized but we pulled away almost immediately when a voice broke through."Ewww," Bella said and scrunched up her nose, Alexander chuckled and I quietly laughed. He walked over to her and picked her up, I took a few steps towards them. Bella stared at me with such curiosity that I could almost feel the intensity hit my skin in waves, her eyes tackled me before she glanced at Alex. "We finally see mama?" She asked again, obviously exhausted at this point and I cooed. "Yes, I

“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.

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.

"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

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
