In two weeks (186)
"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 aRelated chapters
FIRE CRACKER I am doing this (187)
The person staring back at me had amber green eyes and a perfect jaw. Her blush was light but evident, her eyes were spooked with eye shadow and her lips pursed into a straight line. I groaned and loosened my bun again, my face fell for the millionth time and I grumbled something unintelligible under my breath. I glared at my reflection in the mirror again, this time my forehead was creased and my mascara was ruined. I had never had issues putting on makeup until now. Even though I had never actually been overly obsessed with it, it was never really something I had to worry about or think too much about, so I let it be half of the time. Yet today, when all I wanted to do was put on some light makeup and get this over with, I found my hands trembling and chest tightening awkwardly, the room temperature was suddenly over the top and my mascara kept smearing as if someone was purposefully ruining it. “You still have time to call it off” Emily’s voice rang in my head and I froze. It t

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

“Alice, I need you to breath and stop talking about the past, okay?” I croaked out and glanced ahead. I wasn’t sure where we were or what hospital we were going to, I just hoped we would get there soon.“I was... I was frustrated with life and... and I thought you were dead and I would never get to see my other children. That was why I was so brutal... I decided that if my child could not be happy, then neither would hers and that backfired” She put her oxygen mask back on and gasped for air. “I-i’m so sorry,” Alice begged as she strained her eyes on me. “Alice now is not the time—”“No, I am so sorry Danielle, I’m sorry for everything.” She begged. “For all the abuse, pain, and humiliation you had to go through as a child.”She apologized and I looked away. A tear rolled down my cheek.It was one thing if someone else tried to understand my pain and another thing if the person who inflicted it and who had gaslighted me for years, was admitting to my face that she did it, to be hones

"Aiden," I growled and he smiled. He had a fun held up straight to my face and I was almost thrown off by the audacity of the man. Here, in broad daylight, he was pointing a gun at me, a smug grin plastered on his face as if he had just been given hot coffee on a stressful morning."Danielle" His voice was calm and held no remorse at all, his eyes narrowed at me and rested on Alice's body which was behind me. I watched as Aiden's grey eyes darkened for a bit before they returned to their previous form."For the first time in my entire life...I'm sad I was right about something." The words were not directed at me, rather it was where his gaze rested. Completely fixed on Alice. "If you cared about her, you would have stopped this a long time ago." I shot a glare at him, and he scoffed and stared at me with a piercing gaze. "It's because of her, I did this!" He snapped and shot one of the medics, I stumbled on the side of the van, my eyes went wide and I clenched my fist."That's a li

I lunged at him. With all the force and anger I could muster at that moment. This was the moment I had waited for so many years. Three long years — I lived with that guilt and pain for three long years. I was broken, I had to deal with the pain and nightmares and the intense feeling that I could not protect the man who did nothing but love me. The only thing I had consoled myself with back then was that I would avenge his death.And only when I had avenged his death, would I visit his grave. Today, I would fulfill that promise.Aiden lost balance in shock, the gun went off immediately. My eyes widened when we hit the ground. I was basically on top of him, dangerously close with the gun between us and my breath hitched.My heart raced and it took me a few seconds to register the fact that the bullet had not hit me, rather it was stuck in Aiden who was bleeding from his nose.I must have taken too long to connect all these dots because the next thing I knew was hands around my neck, c

"I never thought you would come here." I heard a voice as I sat on the closest rock.From the view I had, the lake was breathtakingly beautiful, it had been months since I came here and I was dying for a breath of fresh air."Do you remember the last time we came here?" the voice continued on a steady pitch, I rolled my eyes at the tone and turned away. "Danielle, you are going to have to face me at one point or the other." Tyler finally confessed in what sounded like a defeated tone, I scoffed at his words. "There's nothing to settle." my voice came out strained. It had been one entire month since Alice was murdered and Aiden died at my hands. The memory still sends chills down my spine and for many days I refused to leave my home because I was terrified of the outcome, I sucked in sharp air and glanced at him."You ended this, remember?" I added in a soft tone, my eyes stung with tears but I blinked them away. Tyler sighed. He broke the small distance between us and sat beside me

"Are you okay?" Tyler was standing at the doorwhen I came out, I nodded and walked past him. "Where's Gemma?" I asked with a straight face and glanced around the place. "She left," Tyler informed me absentmindedly. "She asked for a divorce." He added."Why? Did she finally realize that you are nothing like you claim you are?" I spat at him and he shrugged."She was pregnant for someone else," He continued. My eyes widened and I shrugged. "Oh wow." I chuckled. "You sue to surround yourself with the best kinds of people," I informed him and he relaxed on the wall"You don't seem okay, do you want to get some rest?" He asked and I rolled my eyes at his fake concern."I want to leave. Why did you bring me here?" I demanded in a sharp tone."You fell unconscious, I had no other choice," Tyler admitted bashfully and ran his hands through his hair. His lips were pursed into a straight line and he kept his gaze firm on me."Want some coffee?" He offered and walked towards what I assumed w

Tyler chuckled and his hand went to his neck for a nervous moment. “I don’t think you have realized it but… Alexander is in love, and it’s not with you,” I blinked in confusion.Tyler laughed at what seemed like my facial expression. “Alexander is madly in love with Lee.” My eyes widened and I immediately clicked the dots.Lee’s strange behavior ever since Alexander came into the house, her sudden change of heart, the reason she begged me to stop the wedding, why she was so devastated during the shoot-out, why she kept her gaze on Alex, and most of us, why she was bosses with taking care of Bella. “But she’s just a child and he- he’s twenty-five or something! This isn’t right!” I informed him.“She’ll be eighteen in a few weeks, by then she will be an adult, right?” Cole asked in a calm tone.“Well yes, but…” I trailed off and walked past him, I turned and continued. “She’s still a child, he’s five years older than she, and I don’t know, I’m just not comfortable with the idea.”“It’s
