Daniela’s POV

I felt like a criminal throughout the ride. Gus wasn’t as talkative as Mike and he didn’t look approachable either. He hadn’t said a word to me apart from telling me he was taking me to Alexander’s office.

He parked in the underground parking lot and guided me all the way up to Alexander’s, probably not wanting to make the same mistake as his colleague.

Kathy, Alexander’s assistant, stood up to greet us with a smile when we got closer. I managed to return it all the while preparing myself for whatever I was going to face in the office.

Gus knocked once and then pushed the door open after Alexander’s barely audible voice. He helped me inside and then shut the door, leaving me alone with an evidently pissed off Alexander.

“Nina told me you woke up late because you were up all night reading the contact.” He leans back in his chair, assessing me from the end of the room,

  • My Dear Nightmare    Chapter Twenty

    Daniela's POVI woke up covered from head to toe in sweat. I wasn’t comfortable in this room yet, but right now I was relieved that this was where I was, and not in my old bedroom in my parents’ house, with Alexander’s hands pressed tightly around my neck. My hand followed my thoughts, and massaged my neck as I forced my breathing to slow down.It was still dawn, but it wasn’t too early for my cravings to set in. I needed my vanilla flavoured milk. I needed it so bad that I could cry.I got out of bed quicky and rushed to the windows. I slid them open and dashed out onto the balcony, immediately taking in a deep, long breath. I wasn’t normally this shaken after a nightmare. Maybe it was because I knew I didn’t have any milk this time to supress my emotions, or the plain fact that I was now actually living in the house of the man who was my greatest subconscious fear.He had already left for Mexico, but his pres

  • My Dear Nightmare    Chapter Eighteen

    Daniela’s POV“Do you want me to wait?” Mike asked as he helped me out of the car. We were parked in front of Letty’s, my aunt’s restaurant.“No. I’ll be here for a while so I’ll just call you when I’m done,” I told him a little too quickly.He looked at me doubtfully. “Mr Jackson knows you’re here, right?”I plastered a smile. “Absolutely!”He didn’t look convinced, but he still walked me to the entrance, made sure I was inside before he left. I sat in the first booth, creating a curtain with my hair so no one recognised me. If my aunt knew I was here, the whole plan would be ruined.I waited a good five minutes after Mike had left and then darted out of the place, and picked a taxi straight to the hospital.Do not ask me why I was doing this, because I wouldn’t have a worthy answer. I was already second guessing my decision

  • My Dear Nightmare    Chapter Seventeen

    Daniela's POV“Good heavens! Mrs Jackson are you alright?”Nina’s voice all but startled me out of my sleep. If not for the fact that I was still very sleepy and groggy, I would’ve had a heart attack. For sure. I turned my body in the direction of the voice. “Mm?”“Oh thank goodness, Mrs Jackson,” I heard her breath out in relief. Why did she keep calling me Mrs Jackson? “What happened, Mrs Jackson. How did you get on the floor?”Oh. Right.My first night in the mansion obviously hadn’t been good. When we got back from the dinner, I was already prepared for the nightmares I was going to have that night. But that didn’t happen, because I couldn’t even manage to go to sleep. I had tossed and turned for hours in my new big bed for hours, before accepting that that was my fate for the night. So I took the comforter off the bed and placed it on the floor and decided t

  • My Dear Nightmare    Chapter Sixteen

    Alexander’s POVWhen I heard about Daniela moving to live with her aunt after her parents’ death. I felt pity that her mother had to be dragged into it, but then there was always this satisfaction that hung around my feelings when I thought about how she was finally in my shoes, because I thought her living with her aunt wasn’t any different from my life in the orphanage. But of course, I was very wrong.Daniela’s mother and Bertha must have been very close, or it could just be that Bertha had a big heart, because she loved Daniela like she was her own child. Even now as they whispered and giggled while exchanging bites of their food, their bond was evident. Even now, I was still envious.Daniela was smiling cheerfully, as if she hadn’t spent the entire day frowning at me, or crying in my arms even. I wondered how she was able to do it. I sat here with all the money and opportunities I wanted, but I still couldn’t mas

  • My Dear Nightmare    Chapter Fifteen

    Alexander’s POVI did not have a plan.And it was starting to show.I had idolised the idea of having that girl from the murderer’s house as mine to control, almost my whole life, so much so that I snatched the first opportunity to keep her in one place, where I could monitor her easily, without really thinking about the implications. And my brain had not been able to understand that she was now a woman, an adult who had a right to her actions. I may have tied her down with this marriage, preventing her from finding that fulfilling life she thought she could get with that good for nothing philanderer, but she could still hurt me.She did. And I deserved it.“And you’re confident she won’t screw you over instead in the long run?”Fuck.One knock. Nina’s signature.“Come in.”I couldn’t see her from my position at the desk, but I heard her enter
