All Chapters of Dangerous Heartbeats: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

♡ Skylar ♡"Mom, Dad," I called as I stepped into the dining room. I was greeted with silence. My eyes narrowed as I walked up to the table. Normally, Mom and Dad would already be seated there but it was just the food placed on the table. I pushed out a chair and placed my bag down before turning around and walking out of the room.I took the staircase leading to the hallway. I strutted through the hallway, staring at the family pictures that lined the hallway, taking time to study every one of them. I stopped in front of the family picture we had taken a year after they adopted me.Mom and Dad were seated on a long couch, I sat beside Dad, with a few months old Aurora on my lap, and Samantha sat at the other side with Mom. I zoned in on my face. I looked pale, something even my makeup couldn't conceal. The look of pain in my eyes was still there. It was a year since the betrayal, but it still hurt like hell even though I had pretended it didn't. I had nightmares every other night, a

♡ Skylar ♡"Isn't this dangerous?" I asked in fear as we stood in front of the Rollercoaster. Alfred shrugged and turned to look at me."We can never know until we try it" he replied. My eyes widened and I took a step back."No, thank you. Aurora and I will just stay down here""She seems to want to try it too" He replied, gesturing to her.I looked down at her, as she stared at the roller coaster in excitement. She was swinging my hand repeatedly as she bounced gleefully.I exhaled. I might as well give it a try. What could go wrong?"Let's go. Just once" I replied and Alfred winked...I was wrong. Many things could go wrong. I remember saying this two times and so many things went wrong. Like when I agreed to stay the night in New Hampshire and things went south and we had to share a room or when I had agreed to get Alfred to fall in love with me, thinking 'nothing can absolutely go wrong' and well look at me now. I'm supposed to make someone's heart beat fast but I'm the one whos

♡ Alfred ♡Skylar hung up, and I sighed, lowering the phone to the table. I stared at her name on my phone in silence, and a sigh escaped my lips as I pushed the chair backward, swirling it around to face the glass wall. She said she wasn't angry, but I knew she was. Was it the ride? We laughed after that, but when we got into the car, the air around us had suddenly grown cold for some reason. Her smile was wiped off her face, and when she did smile, it was fake. The package she had received was indeed suspicious, even if I didn't want to admit it. And when I hugged her, she didn't return the hug. Just stood frozen. How did she expect me to believe I didn't do anything wrong? I exhaled, dragging my palm down my face. Why was it so hard to understand her? It was so hard to know if she wanted me to stay with her or get away from her, if she wanted me to hug her or not. I heard a knock on the door, and I sighed, turning my chair to its normal position. "Come in." The door opened, an

♡ Skylar ♡Jake had hurried out then, saying he needed to get something done, and I had emptied the coffee cup before leaving, too.As I drove to the office, I realized something. My revenge plan on its own was quite messy or put it better, it had ended up messy the moment I became friends with Alfred again.It was simple at first. Get revenge on Alfred for betraying me and then get justice for Mom. But now things were different. I found out Alfred was deceived by Catherine. Looking at it, anyone could fall for that. I also found out that the person's voice I heard before I was pushed down the cliff didn't belong to Alfred, so in all, Alfred might be innocent. Which leaves me down to the ones who killed Mom.What was I doing to find them? Nothing. Mr Jun was the only lead I could find in five years. How reasonable was that?Moving on, in between it, I found out Samantha is not who she claimed to be, even though that had been obvious from the very beginning. I also found out that Mom

A few weeks later...23rd December 2023♡ Alfred ♡Anyone who walked into the room could feel the heated tension coming from it. The board members were all seated at the table. Dad, at the head of the table, and Aiden opposite me.I didn't miss the mischievous smile he constantly sent my way, but I, on the other hand, just stared silently at him."As we all know, the two candidates for the president position are between Aiden and Alfred.""We have watched how they both worked hard for the company and after taking a vote. I and the board announce to everyone that..." Dad trailed off as he looked between Aiden and me.Somehow, I was not so scared. I knew what was meant to be would be. I wasn't saying I deserved the company more, but everyone knew how hard I worked to keep it the way it was. I knew Aiden would go as far as buying shareholders, and that was where the little fear I had was coming from. Sometimes evil wins, and we can't do anything about that."Alfred will be taking on the
