"Are you sure about what you are saying? That is a serious accusation, Danielle." Tyler said in a serious tone."Yes I am, I have evidence..." His eyes widened at that, "I mean, I had evidence," I whispered and sighed. "It's in the flash drive that I lost, everything is in there Tyler and that flash drive is currently with Rye and soon Alice will get her hands on it and probably destroy it," I rushed out."What's on the flash drive?" He asked in a curious tone."The only shred of evidence that can prove that Alice murdered my father, She's manipulated Rye into believing who knows what. That woman has no limits, she is incapable of love and I am sure the only reason is here is so she can get rid of me." I let out a wince and tears rolled down my cheeks"Danielle..." He whispered."No, you don't understand. That woman is a monster, she is a horrible person, she has no limits and all she knows how to do is exploit and humiliate people, she is skilled at continuously playing with people's
I couldn't walk.It was honestly one of the most heart-wrenching news I had ever received in my life. I completely zoned out after the doctor said that, My entire world paused and I became painfully aware of the fact that I could neither feel nor move my legs, It felt like they were bricks themselves and I felt a rush of warmth bubble inside me irritatingly.I recalled how I had gagged and let out the food I had forced down my throat a few hours earlier. To be honest, I had expected to cry or scream, but nothing left my lips, no reaction was enough to express the amount of pain and anger I felt at the moment. I wasn't sure who I was angry at. But at that moment, I needed something or someone to be angry at anything. Fortunately, I found myself.My face contorted and I felt the muscles ache at the pressure. The last thing I needed was this, the last thing I deserved was this. I knew I didn't have amazing and cool plans like many people out there, I knew I h
"Cheer up! It's a bright day!" Tyler cheered as he opened the curtains in my room. I rolled my eyes at his enthusiasm. "This isn't a Tuesday," I deadpanned when I saw the daisies in his hand, a smile broke out on his plump lips and his dimples became visible."And I thought you loved my daisies," He commented playfully and sat on the floor in front of my wheelchair, a habit I found quite annoying."I simply tolerate how obnoxious you can be with your flowers" at this rate I sounded like one of those sad people who were tired of life and being in a wheelchair, It was funny how I fit right into that category except for the second line. I paused at my thoughts.With everything that was going on, since when did I stop being tired of life? "A penny for your thoughts?" Tyler's voice brought me back to reality. He was sporting a blue sweatshirt and some sweat pants, his hair seemed to be lazily groomed yet his face had more color than I r
"R-Rye?" I croaked out and my heart ached. My forehead creased, My hands slacked by my sides and my heart rate was abnormally dormant, for the first time in the past few days, tears stung my eyes and burned my cheeks."That— that's impossible." I blurted out as I gripped the wheelchair. "Th—this has to be a mistake, Rye — Rye can't do this!" I yelled frantically."Danielle, please—" "Don't tell me to calm down!" I snapped and a tear rolled down my right cheek "can't you see?!" I cried. "They are trying to frame her or- or - or something but this can't be! It just can't!" I vocalized. "There's a written confession Ma'am" something about this man's calm voice wanted me to explode."I don't care!" I yelled "I don't care if you have a written confession or any evidence!" more tears fell down my eyes, I was just so upset. I sucked in a deep breath and tried to control my breathing. The last thing I needed was to sound like a crazy person"Look..." I said as
“W-what?” I croaked out and it felt like the world had stopped in that split moment, nothing else mattered but the determined look in his steel blue eyes that were burning into mine.“I love you.” He repeated effortlessly. A tear rolled down my cheeks and my eyes widened. “I love you so, so much Danielle.” He continued and I took in a sharp breath. “I don’t know when it happened or how or...” He trailed off and stood up from where he had knelt in front of me. “I don’t know...” He took a few paces from me before he turned and continued. “I don’t know when and how this happened. But I know it did, And maybe I do know but—”“How?” the word rolled out of my mouth. Tyler froze in his step. He looked like he was about to say something but I beat him to it and rolled my wheel towards him. “How can you love someone like me? Are you insane?” I questioned with tear-filled eyes.“Have you ever seen my track record? Everyone I’ve loved or who has loved me either ends up leaving me or dying.” I i
I took in tentative breaths as I stared at Tyler completely shocked. My eyes scanned his facial features as I struggled to read the emotion that was currently plastered on his face but apart from the quirky smirk and sparkle in his blue eyes.“The flash drive is with Rye,” I spoke after a while, Tyler perked up at my words, his forehead creased in confusion and a strand of his hair fell out of place.“Flash drive?” His thick voice reminded me that he was staring back at me and I should probably stop gawking. I sighed and breathed.“There’s this um… flash drive…” I trailed off. “It— it’s a footage of Alice ki—mur— hurting my dad” it was one thing to think about it and another thing entirely to say out loud. “It proves that…that she murdered him.” I bit my lip as I stared at Tyler. Deep down I was waiting for a repeat of what happened with Jared.For him to burst into laughter and completely invalidate my thoughts, A part of me needed him to hu
“How do you feel today?” Tyler asked as he strolled into my hospital room, He had a plate of what I assume was my breakfast and Charlotte was right behind him, a small smile played on her lips and her nude lipstick made me crave makeup for the first time in a while.“I assume he filled you in on my decision to undergo surgery?” I said as she took a seat and Tyler placed the small table on the bed, in front of me. I sighed as I glanced from the food to the two people in the room “What did George say?” I asked.“He said a specialist will be coming today to check you out and choose a date for the operation,” Tyler informed me. I forced a tight smile. “This is the best decision you could have ever made.” He assured me, I rolled my eyes.“I need to get out of here as soon as possible,” I responded sharply. “Were you able to get what I asked for?” I had directed my question to Charlotte who seemed to have been engrossed in her thoughts. I wasn’t the only one who noticed
“I’m nervous,” I confessed before Tyler could ask, The dark-haired man snorted at my antics before he squeezed my hand and locked eyes with me.”Everything is going to be fine, Danielle.” He reassured for the millionth time. It was finally the day of my surgery and as much I would like to be one of those main characters who have their entire thoughts in one box and think with a leveled head, I was terrified inside.It wasn’t only that I was scared to lose my legs, but the fact that I would like the only opportunity I had to repay Derek if I died during the surgery. I had spent the past few hours wondering why I had agreed to something I wasn’t certain would work out. This wasn’t like me at all, but lately, a lot of things about me were changing without my permission.“What if it turns out better than you could have ever imagined?” Tyler pierced through my thoughts and I resisted the urge to jump at his thick tone. His gaze burned into my memory and I sque
