Chapter 27:
”Hey why the long face?? I asked about Draco how have you been since I was unconscious?” she lowered her face, reading the expression on my face. ” Wait is that a scar on your face? ” the caught sight of it at a sudden glance on my face.
” Wait what??” I had a surprised look on my facing, pretending to not grasp what she is talking about. “That! The red blister ” she touched it with the tip of her finger. “Oh…” I was left speechless. Do I continue to play dumb? Or confess the truth?
” Hmm… Jane, I hit my face somewhere in the room by a lapse, I wasn’t careful enough” I said lying through my teeth. “Huh?” she looked at me glowering. With that expression on her face, I gave an etched feeling that clearly says how I am feeling or the pain I’m feeling inside, but can’t dribble it out.
” You know you can’t lie to me right?” My heart started pounding, she is right. There is no way I would lie to her and she wouldn’t fish that out. What do I do now? I down casted my eyes, wiggling my fingers to itself. “Umm—Um” I stuttered. How do I tell her now? Where do I start from? ” Will you tell me all that had happened Daniella, what did that bastard do to you!” she raised her voice this time. I tried to shut her big mouth, someone might hear us.
” Don’t shii at me, I don’t fucking care. Just tell me what I need to know” I slack-jawed. ” Oh my God, what kind of a girl is this I rolled my eyes” still trying to make her bring her voice down. ” Alright, alright fine I will tell you” I illustrated by rubbing my hands on my chest slightly downwards.” I’m all ears” the steeped are fingers together. She was Impatient. “.. I Didn’t hit my face somewhere. It was Draco” I need not to say who caused the blisters on my face. Jane already groped that out.
” Oh my, why on earth will he do that to you” she shook her head, really not pleased with it. ” He is not his fault Jane, he is just blind to the truth and he doesn’t want to believe that “I sided with him, not to make her do something stupid. ” Oh shut the trap bitch? Why are you taking sides with him huh? He lay hands on you like his slave what stupid carp are you saying here!!” I shiver at her anger. I can hear it raw from her voice.
” Babe please calm down, you just need to hear the full details” I rub my hands around my chest again. Jane’s expression wasn’t the usual one I know, she had shown this same expression three years ago during our high school. The guy wanted to attack me and making me look like a precipice. Jane took me by surprise and did something I wouldn’t think of for once.
” Jane darling would you calm down please, for me?” I called with a sweet tone, I’m not trying to bribe her but to bring her back to herself. ” Okay, tell me everything in details don’t skip any” she sounded blunt. ” Okay. You know before you got ill, Draco ordered his men to find Cassy but she ran out of the country….” I just started when she cut me off at that point. ” I know that, just move on,” she said.
” Jessica was found dead after that ” I bleak out a doleful glance on my face. “What!” that there threw her off her balance. ” Who the fuck killed her?!” She yelled. I rolled my eyes once again, I need something to glue her mouth, her voice keeps on rising. ” I wouldn’t know until I was lucky to eavesdrop on the culprit’s conversation” I shook my head in disgust.
” Would you go straight to the point stop cutting corners, who the fuck Is the damn murderer ” she was so impatient, Like a hungry lion ready to devour at any prey he lay his hands on? I gulp in the lump in my throat before I proceed. ” I heard Danovo and Juliana jubilating about taking a barrier off their path” I sneered, having a disgusting expression on my face, wishing I could squeeze that bitch with my bare hands.
” Wow! My good lord” Jane’s brow curved sharply and her face grew a dark like that of a black crow.” Yes, they killed her” I tightened my lips.” Those frogs! Devil!” she just started raining insults on them, anyone on her lips.” How does that certain you then, that he has to lay hands on you?!!!” Jane would never learn how to be patient in her life.
” Oh c’mon girl, I just started the story. Would you calm down and be a good listener instead rather than a bad rhetorician? I didn’t care how I sounded, I just wished she could calm down and listen. She seem pretty disturbed at the fact, Draco laid hands on me. Although I understand her plight.” Alright” she brought down her voice now.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
” What involved me in this issue is the fact that Danovo was smart enough to frame my Dad as the killer. At first, the FBI suspected Draco but I think he knows that Draco wouldn’t sit down and take the charge and not do nothing about it. He is fully aware that if Draco should investigate the matter he would discover he was the Culprit and that would be the end of him” I slowly explain.” Go on” she calmly said. ” Soon, after I heard the conversation and the true killer. I decided to spill out to him and tell him who the true killer is.” I held my neck softly not trying to remember what he did. I stopped.
” What baby?” Seeing my eyes had gotten ruddy and my voice gotten cracked all of a sudden. ” I understand, but I need to know” she persuade me. I had no choice but to continue ” then he, yelled at me immediately saying it was my Damn father who killed her and tried to frame him! You know he has developed a hatred for him, right from the time. And that is one reason he snatched me. Immediately Danovo fell off my lips as the culprit. An unforeseen slap landed on my face, causing me to land on the floor instantly. ‘You don’t look less than your Dad do you?! He grabbed a handful of my hair, hitting me hard on the wall” I started to sob, narrating his action towards me was painful. It’s me peeling my wound over again.
” Okay Daniella you can stop right there” she raised her head from her arms, which she had buried into. “Yeah, I should stop here. I can’t go on with it” I wipe my tears and suck in. I saw Jane wiping her face too, and after that, her eyes were still so red. ” Wait babe, don’t tell me you were crying?!” I bent my head to confirm if my eyes weren’t playing a prank on me.
” You frog! How do you expect me not to cry, see the hard stuff you have been through” she fight in the tears trying to run down her eyes.” You don’t have to cry for me I’m fine. ” I moved closer to her, wiping her cheek with my smooth hands.” I hate you saying those trash, could you do me a favor and don’t say anything again?” She rolled her eyes.
” Okay, fine my bad” I moved back to my position. ” So your dad is in jail now?” I felt pricked in my heart, when she asked that, my that is not meant to be there but that bastard murderer! ” Yes, Jane and I will do anything to prove his innocence ” I grit my teeth.
” Jane I have to go now” I spent almost the day with Jane, gisting. Now I feel complete and not alone as she is back, she would do anything to help me. “oh, it’s 7 pm already!” Her eyes flashed to the walk clock and the day was already dark, we didn’t take note of that as we were lost in our world. ” Sure, go on baby. I will see you later” she said, smiling.
I stood up from the bed. I walked out at a pleasant pace and shut the down behind me. It was so dark, how did I not notice that on time? The outside light was on already and the one at the aisle shone brightly on my face. I tiptoed heading to my room when I heard that huge voice. ” Oh no,” I squeeze my hand so hard and tightened my eyes into my ball rocket. I guess I had developed fear in me, in no time. ” Daniella where have you been?” ” What does he mean by that, where have I been? Did he look for me and didn’t find me anywhere?” I grumbled within me.
” Huh? I’ve been in this house” I lowered my head. Not wanting to look him in the eyes, he annoys me and makes me feel irritated within me. ” Where?” He asked. ” Oh my God, still don’t believe me” I mumbled. ” In Daniella’s room of course,” I said.
” I don’t believe, how would you spend 10hours just staring at her closed eyes” he complained. Hearing what he said started to make my blood boils, how would he know she is back to herself now when he was busy accusing my dad. ” She is back!” I yelled at him, instantly. He can say trash to me but not my friend, she isn’t sick anymore. She is well! ” Oh wow,” his cheek flushed in embarrassment.”Yeah, excuse me,” I said and walked out of his sight, heading to my room. He was left stunned in front of my room after I got inside.
I slammed the door and press my head in front of it. I slowly slide down to the floor, my heart aching for seeing him react towards me this way, he doesn’t even trust me anymore! I swayed my head as the tears from my eyes ran into my mouth. ” I can’t take this anymore. I can’t have the man I have fallen in love with treat me this way, This is not happening!” ” I wish he could trust in the love we have for each other, I wish he was the type who couldn’t see me cry! But no, he makes me cry instead! What wrong have I done to deserve this as my love life”.
