The Space Between Us Chapter Fourteen:THE MAN WHO KNEW EVERYTHING
For a moment, nobody moved.My father stood at the entrance of Room 17, staring at me with an expression I had never seen on his face before. His eyes moved from me to Daniel, then to Great, before settling on the photograph trembling in my hand.I watched his face change.First came surprise.Then disbelief.And finally, something that made my stomach tighten.Fear.My father was afraid.I had seen him angry, disappointed, exhausted, and even heartbroken. I had seen him handle difficult situations with a confidence that made me believe nothing in the world could shake him.But I had never seen him look afraid of his own daughter.Until that moment."Chisom," he said quietly.I stared at him.For years, that voice had been my refuge. Whenever I was scared, I ran to him. Whenever something went wrong, I believed he would find a solution. Whenever the world disappointed me, I trusted that my father would never deliberately hurt me.Now, I wasn't sure I knew the man standing in front of
The Space Between Us Chapter Thirteen: THE WOMAN IN WHITE
The entire journey to the hospital, I couldn't stop thinking about the name written in the notebook.Daniel.My twin brother.The words kept repeating in my head, refusing to let me think about anything else. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw the photograph of two babies lying beside each other, the mysterious note about an agreement between our fathers, and the message someone had sent me warning me to stop looking for Daniel.I had spent my entire life believing I was an only child.I had never wondered what it would be like to have a brother. I had never imagined celebrating a birthday with someone who shared the same face, the same blood, and the same beginning as me.Yet, somewhere in this world, there was a person who had entered life alongside me.Someone who might have cried when I cried as a baby.Someone who might have held my tiny fingers before we were separated.Someone who had been taken away from me before either of us could understand what separation meant.And the wo
The Space Between Us CHAPTER TWELVE: THE BOY WHO DISAPPEARED
I barely slept that night.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw my mother's face. I heard my father's confession, and I remembered the words written on that piece of paper.The truth about Daniel is not what you think.What did that even mean?Daniel was my twin brother. A boy I had never known, a boy whose existence had been hidden from me for years. According to my parents, he had disappeared when we were children, and everyone had believed he was gone.But now, everything was different.My father knew Daniel was alive when my mother left. My grandmother had known the truth, and Great's father had somehow been involved in whatever happened that night.Too many people knew something about my life that I didn't.And I was tired of being the last person to find out.I turned on my bed and stared at the ceiling.The house was quiet. Great had taken me home after everything that happened, promising
The Space Between Us CHAPTER ELEVEN: THE MAN OUTSIDE THE DOOR
“Don't let him know you've seen me.”My mother's words echoed in my head as I stared at the door.My father was standing on the other side.The same man who had raised me, protected me, and told me stories about our family was now someone I wasn't sure I could trust.I tightened my grip on the envelope.Great stood beside me, his expression tense. He glanced at the door, then at my mother, who looked as though she might collapse at any moment.“Chisom,” my father called again. “Are you in there?”I swallowed.“Yes, Daddy.”The word escaped my lips before I could stop it.Daddy.For years, that word had meant safety to me. Whenever I was frightened, he was the person I ran to. Whenever I had a problem, he was the person I believed would help me solve it.Now, standing in a room with my missing mother, I wondered how much of the man I knew was real.“Open the door,
The Space Between Us Chapter 10:The truth behind the door
“Chisom?”My heart pounded so loudly that I could barely hear anything else.Great stood beside me, his eyes fixed on the half-open door at the end of the hallway. Neither of us moved.“My baby…”The voice came again, softer this time.I swallowed hard.For years, I had wondered what I would do if I ever heard my mother's voice again. Sometimes, I imagined running into her arms. Other times, I imagined standing in front of her and demanding answers to every question that had haunted me since childhood.But now that the moment was finally here, I couldn't move.I was scared.Scared that the woman behind that door was not my mother.Scared that she was.And even more scared of what her presence meant for everything I had believed about my family.“Great,” I whispered.He turned to me immediately.“What?”“What if it's really her?”He looked at the door before returning his gaze to me.“Then we'll listen to what she has to say.”I shook my head.“You don't understand. What if she explain
The Space Between Us CHAPTER 9: THE HOUSE THAT REMEMBERED
The road grew narrower the farther we drove.Tall trees leaned over the cracked pavement, their branches intertwining above us until the afternoon sunlight became nothing more than thin golden lines across the windshield. The houses we passed grew fewer, and the noise of the city gradually disappeared behind us.I glanced at Great.He had barely spoken since we left.Both hands rested on the steering wheel, his eyes fixed on the road. Every few minutes, he checked the rearview mirror, and each time he did, something tightened in my stomach.He was expecting someone to follow us.Or perhaps he already knew someone was."Great.""Hmm?""How much farther?""About twenty minutes.""You said that fifteen minutes ago.""I know.""Then either your sense of time is terrible, or you're deliberately taking the longest route possible."He glanced at me briefly."You're nervous."I let out a disbelieving laugh. "I'm nervous? We're driving to an abandoned house to investigate a secret involving my
