Chapter 81 Eighty one

DANIELLE'S P.O.V.I sat on one of the living room's couches, staring, very gobsmacked, at the man who sat across from me; I was not by myself in staring at the man in surprise as everyone else in the room, including his own partner, was gawking at him with the same expression that I had on my face. It was as if they were all thinking the same thing that I was- maybe they were also asking themselves the question that was playing in my own mind as I continued to look at the police officer who was sited in front of me.You might be wondering what that question was?'Who the hell was this guy?'That was the question that played in my head, over and over again, and I did not doubt, by the look on everyone's faces, that they were asking themselves the same question.Detective Trevor Wilson, as Alvida and the man himself had introduced earlier on my arrival to the living room, started right back at me with impassive and accusing eyes."What were you doing on that day, Mrs Valentino?" he aske

Chapter 82 Eighty two

DANIELLE'S P.O.V.Once Detective Trevor Wilson had been booted out of the living room by my father-in-law, his partner, Detective Gale Jones, left on her own and that way, she was consequently tasked with the responsibility of going through the process that entailed taking my statement in place of her expelled partner.She seemed a little taken aback and shaken by the events of the past few minutes and gave the impression of being nervous; that much was obvious from the way her feet were tapping, continuously, against the marble floors.Alvida turned in her seat, beside her husband, to look at the female police officer."Now that we are rid of the nuisance that is your partner, we are ready to get down to the business of the day." she said, addressing the Detective, "You may now proceed with your assignment."After receiving the go-ahead from the woman of the Valentino household, Gale Jones nodded her head in understanding."Yes, ma'am." she said, clearing her throat before turning in

Chapter 83 Eighty three

DANIELLE'S P.O.V."What about you, Mrs Valentino? Did you notice or do you recall seeing any one or anything suspicious before the incident occured?" Detective Gale Jones asked.The question jogged my memory as I racked my brain, trying to recall if I had seen or noticed anything particularly suspicious during the days leading up to the incident. While working in overdrive, in its attempt to figure out and bring to my remembrance any particular sight that I could or might have been privy to before or after the incident occured, it finally hit me.The memory hit me as hard as a rock, jolting and shaking me to awareness, firmly and forcefully- I imagined that the Titanic ship must have felt the way I did, in that moment, when it had hit the infamous iceberg that had been the cause of its renowned doom. I sat in the living couch, my eyes wide open, and my body trembling slightly as my memory allowed me to recall and draw upon the past events, allowing and bringing to my understanding, th

Chapter 84 Eighty four

DANIELLE'S P.O.V.The anticipation was clear in both Alisia and Detective Gale Jones' eyes as they both leaned forward in their seats, their eyes holding, in its depths, the curiosity that they felt. Before addressing them, I gulped down spittle; my action was not in a bid to be dramatic, but because the thought of what was about to escape my lips was scary enough to cause a flood of saliva to fill up my mouth. Once I had swallowed the watery liquid that had been secreted into my mouth by glands, I opened my mouth to answer the question, nearly chortling at the way my sister-in-law and the detective basically leaned out of their seats, eyes wide in anticipation of what words were about to escape my parted lips."A strange man." I replied.Both of them looked at one another before turning to look at me, confusion written on their faces."What do you mean?" Detective Jones asked."I saw a strange man." I answered, settling back into the cushioned couch that I was sited on. I waited for

Chapter 85 Eighty-five

DANIELLE'S P.O.V.I trudged up the massive stair case with Alisia, who trailed slowly behind me. As I climbed up the flight of numerous stairs, my head felt heavy and with each step that I ascended, my stomach grumbled with hunger; I had long forgotten that I had not been chanced to eat anything else during the course of the day except for the breakfast that I'd had with my in-laws. I allowed my thoughts to take over my mind as I moved up the spiral stair case.What would the police officers do, now that I had given them a description of the only suspicious stranger that I had come in contact with Siri g the days leading up to the unfortunate incident?If the man was really not who he claimed to be, did that mean I was at fault for the occurrence of the incident?If I had not let the man into the house, nothing would have happened, right?I felt so guilty, scared, and ashamed, and I wanted nothing more than for the ground to open up and swallow me whole; or for an alien invasion to oc

Chapter 86 Eighty six

DANIELLE'S P.O.V.I was immersed in a caliginous chasm, and I enjoyed, very much, the feeling that the abyss gave me as it swallowed me whole and engulfed me in its pleasing embrace which was full of darkness and quiet. I wished that I would never have to leave that sweet ataraxia, hoping that said placidity could be everlasting. But as I have come to learn, mostly through the hard way, every and all good things had to, eventually, come to an end- I had also come to accept that verdict. No favorable occured or entity could last an eternity; one way or another, they would have to come to a finish. I did not necessarily understand why it had to be so, but I had no choice but to come to terms with that fact.So was the case for my peaceful sleep as the blaring of my ringtone dragged me, harshly, out of my state of tranquility, which I was not very much inclined to leave, and tossed me into a state of consciousness. And so, letting a tired sigh escape from my lips, I patted around blindly

Chapter 87 Eighty seven

DANIELLE'S P.O.V.I sighed in exasperation, turning on my side to glare at the source of my irritation. The familiar tune of my ringtone, which was blaring through the speakers of the mobile device, caused another surge of vexation to swell in my chest. Deciding that I'd had enough of the disruption, I pulled my phone off of the bedside drawer where it was placed, and angrily silenced the call before placing the device on airplane mode to prevent any further disturbance of my peace.I then dropped the phone back on to the drawer and turned to the other side of the bed, closing my eyes and hoping that by doing so, I would finally return back to sleep. Unfortunately, I could do no such thing as the disturbance came in another form- in the form of a gentle rap of knuckles on my door. I let out a frustrated sigh, and rolled onto my back on the bed, staring up at the ceiling in a gentle plea to those who lived high up on the heavens. I was desperate for my sleep, and these disruptions kept

Chapter 88 Eighty eight

DANIELLE'S P.O.V.With Jay at the wheel, the car moved smoothly along the tarred road, and I watched through the car window as the trees passed by swiftly. I could have tried counting them to take mind off the thoughts that soared in my head, unobstructed, but they moved too fast for me to be able to count. I let a sigh escape from my lips before placing my forehead on the cool glass of the car window. Seeing as I was unable to do anything to clear my mind, I guessed that I would have to allow those several thoughts take their course in my head.As I allowed my thoughts to have free reign over my mind, I recalled the last conversation that's I'd had the previous night which was the dialogue I had with Adrian right before I had gone to bed."You should have found a chance, or created one. There is no excuse, at all, for not telling me about those things, Danielle. It concerns me just as much as it concerns you, and need I remind you that the house in question is my own property?" I hea

Chapter 89 Eighty nine

DANIELLE'S P.O.V.The car drive back to the Valentino estate was silent; neither Jay nor I were used to speaking to one another whenever we were in the car together. The silence allowed for my numerous thoughts to permeate my head and I, once again, allowed them to have free reign over my mind. I thought back to the encounter that I'd had with Mason Haze who was my close friend and course mate, Melody Haze's twin brother; right before I entered the car which Jay had parked in the campus' parking lot and had been seating in wait for me.Why did he grab my arm the way that he did?I thought back to the way he held on to my arm to stop me from leaving, recalling the way his fingers wrapped around the skin of my arm; I recalled how his grip on my arm was firm enough to alter my movement but at the same time, gentle enough to avoid hurting me. I remembered his smile too- the way that he had flashed me a bright smile with his pearly white teeth seeming to sparkle underneath the sunlight.Wh

Chapter 90 Moving out

DANIELLE'S P.O.V.The days spent in the Valentino Mansion rolled by in a blur of early morning trips, with my new person driver, Jay, to the NYU campus in the heart of Manhattan; sometimes, dreary, and other times, fun days at school with my course mates and friends; silent car rides back to the estate with Jay; feasting, alongside my in-laws, on the chef, Etienne's, food for dinner; late night recaps with Alisia, my sister-in-law turned sister; and then finally, to end the day, heading to bed after the day had been quite well spent.Very soon, without even being fully aware of it, I had spent nearly three months at their estate. It was a long time to be around them, because even though they had become my family, they were still new and unfamiliar to me; but I could not quite complain about spending so much time with them as during my time with them, as much as I'd had sad and overwhelming moments, I'd also had my quite share of fun as well as merriment.During that time spent with th
