The Accident A Moment Of Truth Novels & Stories

Pain shot through my body, sharp and immediate. For a moment, I couldn’t move. Everything felt distant and muffled. My vision blurred, flickering in and out. Warmth spread down the side of my face. Blood. I tried to lift my hand, but it barely responded. My chest burned with every shallow breath I managed to take. The car was crushed. And through the cracked windshield… I could still see the truck. It hadn’t stopped immediately. It just slowed down a bit. And in that moment… Something clicked. This wasn’t an accident.

“If I was unconscious, if there were no witnesses…” Declan leans slightly forward, arms resting on his knees, never taking his eyes off me—eyes that seem capable of seeing through six years of carefully constructed lies. “Because I was on the phone with you when it happened.” The cold that runs through me is instant and brutal. It isn’t surprise—it is recognition. As if my body knew this truth had been waiting to be discovered, buried under layers of conditioning and artificial honeysuckle. “You heard the accident,” I say. It isn’t a question.

I thought about the car. Not the accident itself—the sequence of it was still fragmentary, the kind of memory that had gaps where impact had interrupted recording. What I thought about was the moment before. The moment when I had understood what was happening, when the other vehicle had made contact the second time and the barrier was there and I had known, with the specific clarity of a moment that has no ambiguity in it, that this was serious. In that moment I had thought about Adriana. Not Amber. Not the company. Not the board or the Meridian acquisition or the threat from Greaves that I had been managing for weeks.

"Is she surprised by what happened earlier," said Evelina in her heart. "Rissa?" call her. "Whoa, Eve!!!! Are you okay? I was so shocked when you suddenly fell right next to me just now!” Rissa cried while hugging Evelina. "Never mind ... I'm fine. It's thanks to Nox that he helped me." Evelina who glanced at Nox and smiled at him.

I don't think I can talk to him and not have my heart broken into million tiny pieces because no response will be made. "Shh. Remember that this is none of your fault, okay? He'll be sad to know that you're blaming yourself for this." "B-but what happened, though? What happened in the accident? Are there any more victims?" "It's an eight wheeler truck, Juno. His car collided with the monster vehicle." "Oh, God..." I bit my bottom lip to keep myself from sobbing louder. My poor man. He doesn't deserve this! "Whose... whose f-fault is it? How was the truck driver?"

"Tell me?" "The distress call. The moment the pilot told me we were going to crash, and I should brace for impact. The terror in his eyes when he told me that. We were falling so fast. The smell of smoke filled the cabin, and I—I remember the moment just before hitting the ground, that split second before everything went dark. I had one thought—Shayla." I whisper, looking over at Josh, tears flowing down my face, and he shakes his head sullenly.

I found myself suddenly in the spotlight as a guest of honor for a top designer. Hand in hand, I entered Ms. Rose’s private room, and I couldn’t help but feel confused. Something wasn’t right. Why was this woman going out of her way for me? After about thirty minutes, it finally dawned on me why she seemed so invested. Back when I was still in school, there was a massive car accident. The car in front of us exploded, and the one behind us was at risk of catching fire at any moment. The situation was dire. There was a little boy trapped inside, whispering for help. I could see blood streaming from his leg, and his lips were pale—he was losing blood fast. If we didn’t stop the bleeding, he’d d

Suddenly, I was blinded by large, bright white lights that were attached to a huge truck. I squinted because they made it difficult for me to see the road. When it came closer and was about to pass by my car, my eyes scrunched shut for a split second then all I knew was pain. Mind-numbing, paralyzing pain that lasted for what felt like an eternity. Just when I thought that I couldn't possibly take any more, my lungs started burning and I couldn't breathe. *** October 2026, Scars Bay, USA "The accident that the world thinks killed me wasn't an accident at all," I admitted softly. "It was an attempted murder."

She sat opposite me, her gaze never leaving mine. For a moment, I hesitated. I wanted to shield her from this, from the ugliness that lurked beneath the surface of her accident, but she deserved the truth. She deserved to know who her enemies were. I hit play again. Her body stiffened as the footage rolled. The red car speeding past her, the sudden cut, the crash, she couldn’t remember. When the frame froze on the plate, she leaned forward, and her breath became shallow. “That car…” Her lips parted in a whisper.

"What if I told you that everything changed for me in just one moment?" Uncertain of what he was leading to, I looked into his face. I answered quietly, "I think I believe you." "What took place?"
