FIRE CRACKER のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 161 - チャプター 170

My eyes fluttered open for the second time and this time I could breathe better, I had imagined that I would be on a bed but the surface I was laid on seemed hard. A groan left my mouth and someone gasped. "Danielle! You are awake! I was so terrified!" Emilia said and it took me a few seconds to register the fact that she had been holding my hands and trying to add pressure by rubbing them. I smiled weakly at her, now, she was someone I needed to see. "I thought you were going to die on us back there, what happened?" I heard Lee's voice, she soon came into my line of sight with a huge towel, it was then I registered that the three of us were alone in the room and I was on the floor, outside of my bathroom. "I think I blacked out. It's probably stress." I offered a lame explanation. Lee nodded in consideration. "You should get some rest then, we have a long day tomorrow, especially since—" "Save it lee, now is not the time —" Emilia began as I glanced between the two ladies. "Wha

“It’s missing!” I cried out as I glanced around my room frantically and tore the room apart.“I’m sure it’s somewhere around here,” Daniel tried to reassure me, but I was not having it. That letter did not have legs to just walk out of the room, there were only two people in the room with me, Alexander was in there but there was no reason for him to take the letter.I paused and ran my hands through my hands in frustration, I sucked in a deep and tapped my feet against the group furiously as I tried to think harder, the second person who had come in here was Hilda and she was the one who arranged the room.“Hilda!” I yelled in a high-pitched tone as I stroked out of my room on a mission, I could hear loud footsteps behind me and I was sure that Daniel and Emilia were following. “Danielle, I’m sure that you are mistaken, please try to calm down, you need to get some rest—“ She began.“Rest?” I shot at her and spun around. “You want me to get some rest?!” I said exasperatedly. “I’m han

It Initially started as a chuckle, then a small giggle, before I burst out into loud laughter that shocked everyone in the room. Isabel stumbled back and raised an eyebrow at me, it almost felt as if I had grown two heads but I knew better.My eyes stung but my lips were smiling, The invitation did not slip from my hands, instead, I clenched it in my fist and the first tear dared to roll down my cheek.I really could not pinpoint why tears were in my eyes, maybe because I had thought I would be the woman to marry Tyler, maybe because the news of his wedding had not finally sunk in as it had done at this moment. Or maybe it was all the memories and promises that were finally back to haunt me since reality had finally dawned on me. Another stream of laughter erupted from me and I ran my hands through my hair, it almost felt like I was mocking myself, mocking my stupidity.It felt like I was mocking myself for loving a man who had abandoned me when I needed him the most, for having the

I could barely gasp for air as the pressure around my neck increased, I kicked and tried to move, I wasn’t thinking straight, all I wanted to do was get out of the death trap I had found myself in.The fact that the room was pitch dark and I was gradually sinking into my silk sheets and the cozy bed was not helping either, panic swelled in my sour chest and I gasped for air but it came out muffled and the pressure on my air intensified. I was almost sure that this was it, This was exactly where I would die and there was no way I could fix it or save myself, despite my pitiful situation, I found my thoughts trailing to Tyler, I wondered if he would care about my death and I had to mentally smack myself at my trail of thought The lights came up immediately a loud smack was heard and the pressure on my neck reduced significantly. I blinked and gasped for air, I could feel arms wrap around me but I kept my eyes shut for a few seconds as the light affected my dilated pupils even more.“A

I let out a soft sigh and stood up, Alexander offered me a soft smile and I ran my hands through my short hair. I casually walked over to my desk and got comfortable in the chair.“You don’t want to talk about it, do you?” Alexander voiced my thoughts and I let out a sad chuckle. The man sighed and took the seat opposite me. “You’ve changed.” He admitted rather quietly. I was glad he voiced that thought, because I had changed, I had changed so much that it wasn’t only my physical appearance that I could no longer recognize, everything about me felt so foreign.“Is that a good thing… or a bad thing?” I offered as I picked up a file and began to look through it. It was the recent project Daniel had been working on and he made me promise that I would read the whole thing and give him my feedback on it. As much as I was no fan of reading or paying attention to boring things like these for so long, I found myself somewhat obliged to help him out. the feeling of having siblings was finally
