Daniela's POV

By the time I was back in the car and enroute to Jackson tower, Alexander’s building, I felt like an entirely different person. No, not in a good way. I didn’t feel like my own person anymore, and it wasn’t entirely an exaggeration. Alexander had total control over me now.

I was different clothes. A light blue business casual dress, whose material alone probably cost more than the monthly rent we paid for my aunt’s restaurant. I had on equally expensive heels and accessories to match. Before that, Mike took me for a skin and hair treatment appointment. They didn’t cut much of my hair, but they added a few curls to the ends. I had a new bag moderately filled with the handy stuff I would need in the day, and a new freaking phone!

In another life, I would have been thrilled, but right now I felt like an imposter. I had complained as much as I could to Mike, but he only replied that they were Alexander’s ord

  • 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

  • My Dear Nightmare    Chapter Fourteen

    Daniela’s POVSo much for trying to de-redden my face. I snatched the pen and signed the papers. I didn’t say anything afterwards. I turned to my food, trying to use that to push down the painful lump in my throat. Not fruitful.My name was Daniela Jackson now, the wife of Alexander Jackson, so that my aunt could have a peaceful life, and I could atone for my sins. I had left my old life for one of uncertainty, and I had gotten married to this big shot without even having the opportunity to tell the only friend I had left, Cole.Jenny was an amazing cook, but I couldn’t finish my food. I left the dining room after Alexander said something about sending a copy of the contracts to my room.Everything was swirling in my brain, and I didn’t know if I had really grasped what had just happened. I climbed up the stairs like a ghost. I felt nothing. Absolutely nothing. It was weird. The first time my mind wasn’t trying throw

  • My Dear Nightmare    Chapter Thirteen

    Daniela’s POVThere was so much I didn’t understand when I was a child. I was the only child of my parents and I lived in a relatively big house in a nice neighbourhood. I never realised how privileged I was until my parents died and I moved in with my aunt. Her house was smaller, she couldn’t afford some things my parents used to provide for me. That realisation made me feel bad for wanting more from my dad when he had already provided so much for me.That could explain why I was willing to accept the barest form of affection anyone showed me. So, when Justin came back to me after a company party, smelling like another woman’s perfume, all he had to say was ‘I love you so much, Ela. You’re my number one’, I’d ignore it and kiss him, happy and grateful that he always chose me in the end.Another thing I realised, was that we didn’t have extra bedrooms at my parents’ house just for the fun of it. My parents had wanted more children, but my mother hadn’t been able to get pregnant after

  • My Dear Nightmare    Chapter Twelve

    Daniela's POVAfter being in the car for about twenty more minutes, we entered an estate. The transition was mind boggling. It was almost as if I had entered a new world. We passed by rows and rows of enormous gated mansions, all with expansive compounds for driveways, well-kept lawns and some even had fountains. I wasn’t in the best mood but I couldn’t help looking out in awe. I hadn’t seen anything like this in real life with my own eyes. The tv didn’t lie.After a few turns, we stopped in front of a large iron gate. Something Mike showed to the wall had the gates sliding open and then we continued through a long driveway that was flanked by very green lawns, then circled a fountain before finally stopping in front of the house.Alexander got out immediately the car stopped and probably vanished inside the mansion, because when I stepped out of the car, he was nowhere to be seen.“You should wait for me to help you
