Chapter 29
For the first time in so many years l cried.
Shelly is Daniella?
Shelly was not dead?
It was all fake.
Am not a Braxton either Connor said as he cried uncontrollably.
So things like this do happen? I murmured.
I stared at Mrs Braxton and she was crying uncontrollably, l feel like squeezing the daylight out of her.
She is the cause of everything.
Brielle and Mrs Newton weren't left out.
We were all crying.
And in a twinkle of an eye Connor was on his feet as he grip tight to Mrs Braxton's neck.
"Am going to kill you" he yelled and his grip on her tightened.
"Connor! Connor stop it Connor" we all yelled.
"Am going to kill you" he kept yelling and his grip tightened and Mrs Braxton was choking.
"Stop it Connor stop it" l yelled and freed his grip and Mrs Braxton gasped for air and coughed severely.
"Am sorry Connor."
"You all should go to hell, l hate you all."
"You, you, you and you." He pointed to all of us.
"I hate you all" he said and staggered.
"Shelly l need to see Shelly"
"If anything happens to her am going to kill you both" he pointed to Mrs Braxton and Mrs Newton.
"And you Wyatt Braxton, l hate you, l hate myself too for trusting all of you."
"Wait Connor, you look Haggard, please pull yourself together you can't see Daniella like this" Brielle said.
"Shut up b***h and stop calling her Daniella she is Shelly."
He said and staggered out.
Mrs Abby
"Ma'am Daniella is awake."
"What? My goodness let me go see her now."
"Yes let's go see her."
We rushed to Daniella's ward and met her awake.
"Daniella, l called and rushed to her."
"Shelly."
Someone called and rushed in.
"Connor?"
"My daughter, Daniella's mom called and hugged her tightly."
"Shelly am so sorry all this happened to you" Connor said but Daniella kept mute and just stared without saying anything.
"Daniella, my daughter am sorry, am so sorry please forgive me, how could you be so rash, what would l have done without you? Am sorry please forgive me"Mrs Abby said and sobbed.
"Shelly please say something, am sorry l couldn't protect you, am sorry l didn't find out earlier, if l had known, all this wouldn't have happened, say something Shelly, please say something, am sorry please Daniella."
"Who are you?" She asked.
"Daniella" Mrs Abby called surprised.
"Shelly you don't remember?" Connor asked as his face turned pale.
"Who are you and what are you all saying?"
"Why Shelly, why does this have to happen?
Why did you have to lose your memories now when you really need them?
Am sorry l couldn't protect you,but please Shelly you have to get your memories back.
All this time, have been attracted to you, have always loved you Shelly, maybe it was fate that brought us together but now it hurts so much, seeing you staring at me everyday like a complete stranger, just remember me please please Shelly l love you too much and don't think l can cope with this.
Please l want my Daniella back" l said and sobbed more."
"Now am a nobody, Am not a Braxton, and l can't accept am a Newton, those women are too cuning they might tell me one day that am not a Newton either,l just want to live with you forever, you are the only person that is keeping me alive, you are my only hope right now Daniella."
She coughed slightly and opened her eyes slowly.
"You are awake" l said and wiped my tears quickly.
"Who are you?" She asked and tried to sit up, l helped her lie back on the bed."
"Who are you" she asked again.
"Am Connor" l said.
"Connor, nice name" she said.
"Why are you here? I always wake up to see you here,why are your eyes puffy, have you been crying?"
"No am fine, stop talking you have to rest more."
"No need to worry, Mr Connor,am fine now and my injuries are all healed up."
"Daniella, you really don't remember anything or Anyone?"
"No Mr Connor, l just don't remember."
"Just call me Connor please."
The door creaked open and a girl rushed in.
"Ariel" Daniella squealed excitedly and they hugged tightly.
"How are you doing?" The Ariel girl asked.
"Am fine now" Daniella replied.
"Does she remember you?" I asked.
"No she doesn't, l made her my friend all over again, and wait until she remembers" Ariel replied.
"Ariel, do you know him?"Daniella asked.
"Yes he is your boss."
"My boss!"
"Yes you are his personal nurse."
"Oh! Really but why do l feel like there is more to it."
"It's okay Daniella, remember you don't have to force yourself to remember, just follow your heart."
"I made you your favorite."
"Yeah" Daniella squealed.
"How is my mom doing?"
"She is fine, she will be here soon."
"Mr Connor, thanks for always coming to keep me company,you are the best boss ever" Daniella said and l knitted my brow in annoyance.
"Am out of here".
"Huh! Wait Mr Connor, why are you leaving all of a sudden, did l say something bad?"
"See you some other time Shelly" l said.
"Why is he calling me Daniella and Shelly, he is wierd" she muttered as l left the ward and shut the door with a bang.
How can l live like this, when she doesn't remember anything about us.
No one knows we are engaged,that was same night all this started, the night we were engaged, that same night l was kidn*pped, now everyone thinks am just her boss.
"Mr Connor" l head a familiar voice.
"Mrs Abby" she was wearing an hospital gown.
"Mrs Abby why are you here?"
"I was going to see my daughter, but l saw you here lost in thoughts, how can l ignore?"
"I know it's about Daniella, l never thought this will happen, but since it happened like this,you don't have to worry too much about it,l heard from Ariel that you have feelings for Daniella and she thinks Daniella have feelings for you too."
"That's not it Mr Abby, Daniella and l were in love and we are engaged."
"What?"
"Yes ma'am we are engaged, it's just that all this things started that same night, l had no ring with me but l proposed to her anyways and she accepted,but unfortunately that same night l was kidn*pped and few days later she was admitted and in coma."
"Things happened real fast and now she doesn't remember."
"Am sorry Mr Connor, but you don't have to give up on Daniella."
"Off course l won't,l will wait no matter how long it will take."
"That's it my dear, you see Ariel, she doesn't remember her too, but just in few days, Ariel has built her relationship with her again, l want you to do same, start all over again, until she remembers everything."
"Now that you know your real identity, l know it's not easy for you combined with all this, how are you coping my dear."
"Have moved out of the Braxtons masion,l don't normally stay there just packed few of my belongings, Dad has sent mom their divorce papers, Mrs Newton and Mrs Braxton are behind bars, Mr Newton is now investigating the death of his sister."
"I left Mr Braxton's company"
"What?oh no dear you are the back bone of his company, Mr Braxton loves you alot,he v'e always looked up to you."
"He loves me but l never did, am not his son after all so his of no use, Wyatt is his son he should start looking up to him not me."
"I always asked myself why l never really liked him but it turns out he is not my father."
"He is no better than his wife, they are both cunning and decietful."
"What about your mom,are you not going to to stand up for her?"
"They have to pay for their sins,am no longer that stupid Connor, this is what Wyatt always wanted to become the only heir, his dreams have turned to reality."
"You have to help them, no matter what they are both your mother."
"Hahahaha,you see Mrs Abby, no matter how l try to see it, l can never call either of them my mother, never again."
"Everyone thinks Mrs Braxton was the cause of everything but l think otherwise, Mrs Newton is actually the cause of everything."
"I will never forgive them, they are going to pay for their sins."
My phone rang interrupting our conversation.
"Excuse me ma'am l have to take this call"
"Hello Felix"
"Mr Connor, something bad has happened."
"What is it?"
"It's Mr Braxton."
"I don't want to hear about it"
"Forgive me sir but l have to say it."
"He was poisoned, and in the hospital fighting for his life."
"What!"
"Ariel why was he angry?Did l say something wrong?"
"No lzzy, you don't understand how he feels,this whole thing is just too complicated, things happened really fast, don't worry too much lzzy,my greatest wish is that you should get your memories back, you need them now more than ever."
The door creaked open and Mrs Abby walked in.
"My dear"
"Good morning Mom"
"Good morning darling, how are you feeling?"
"Am fine mom, but l really wish l can get my memories back, the act of introducing everyone to me is tiring."
"Don't stress yourself my dear,with time you will remember everything,the doctor said it's a temporary, amnesia."
"Mom,l thought you promised you will stop crying when l get better, but l heard you still cry alot this days."
"That's not true, l don't cry anymore, am happy you are better now."
"Mom stop crying and get better too the doctor said you have been here since the other year, you know l can't remember anything,but l want to to get healthier so we can go home together."
"I will my dear,l will stop worrying and get healthier and better, so l can get discharged soon."
"That's great mom, Ariel said school will resume soon, and we will be leaving together after l get discharged."
"Yes this is what you ve always wanted to go back to college."
"Who is gonna be taking care of you when we leave?"
"Mr Connor already employed someone to do that."
"My boss?"
"Yes and he was the one that helped with your admission too and he is going to sponsor you through college."
"But why?"
"That's was what you both agreed on before you started working for him."
"Oh! I like him already, he is nice and handsome too."
"Do l have a phone?"
"Yes but it's in Mr Connor's Masion."
"Do l live with him?"
"Yes, you are his personal nurse remember."
"Oh!
The door opened and two ladies walked in.
"Good morning" they said in unison.
"Good morning Miss Newton."
"Ma'am l will really appreciate it if you call me by my name."
"Mom who are they?" I asked.
"Hi Daniella,am Barbara Connor's cook we live together."
"Are we friends?"
"Yes Daniella, how are you feeling?"
"Am fine now, much better."
"That's great, what about the injuries?"
"They v'e healed up already" l replied.
"Who is she?"
"Oh this is Brielle your..................."
"Yes am Brielle nice to meet you Daniella, am Barbara's friend."
"Your faces looks familiar, do you live in Connor's Masion too?"
"No dear."
"Okay, nice to meet you too."
"It's a good thing you are getting better, l hope you regain your memories too."
"Thanks Brielle."
"Wow! Brielle we have the same tattoo."
"Why are you covering it?"
"It's nothing, l don't like when it's exposed."
",It's beautiful, your name was written on yours but Shelly was written on mine."
"Was that why Mr Connor was calling me Shelly? Now l get it, but mom why was Shelly written there instead of my name?"
"It's time to take a nap Daniella please rest well,l will go back to my ward now."
"But mom."
"No buts young lady, get some rest okay."
"Yes Daniella,we will leave you to rest now , we come to see you some other time."
