Chapter 143
That bastard!!” Daniel muttered angrily. He’s been the one all this while that made Lisa have restless nights and all. He was going to kill him when he next saw him.
Daniel stared at Lisa. All he could stare, he didn’t know what to say. He moved towards Lisa and tried hugging her but Lisa pushed him away. She was feeling hurt by what Daniel had said to her.
“How could he call her a whore? He judged her without knowing the reason behind everything.
“Lisa, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean those words I swear. I was just feeling hurt and angry” Daniel said, feeling remorse for what he had said. He was just so angry and he let his anger get the best of him. He had hurt Lisa.
Lisa stared at him, tears sliding down her cheeks. “Lisa please” Daniel begged and tried holding her hands but she pushed him away.
“Let me be Daniel,” she said and wiped her tears. She didn’t even know why she was crying. If it was because her leg was hurting or the fact that Daniel had said mean words to her. All she knew was that she was hurting both ways.
She tried walking out of his office but her leg was hurting like hell. She hated the fact that she broke her leg and it hurt a lot. This was the same pain Isabella had passed through when she broke her leg. She must confess it hurts a lot. If she as an adult could not bear pain like this, she wondered how her daughter could withstand it.
She tried moving again this time she fell to the ground. Daniel moved towards her and helped her stand up from the ground before helping her sit on the couch in the office. He sat beside her.
He carried Lisa’s leg and put it on top of his legs. He tried massaging the leg but then Lisa screamed in pain.
“It hurts” she cried and Daniel wiped her tears with his handkerchief.
“It’s swollen. You shouldn’t have left the house” Daniel said, worried about Lisa. He cares so much about her. He just cared too much and he was gonna get hurt for it.
Lisa stared at him without saying a word.
“I’ll call the doctor to come to check on you,” Daniel said and was about to stand up from the couch but Lisa held his hands.
“Do you know Alfred?” Lisa asked and Daniel stared at her without saying a word and when he finally spoke, he denied the fact that he knew him.
“No I don’t, ” he said lying. Lisa gazed at him and she could see he was lying. Daniel was a terrible liar. He wasn’t good when it comes to lies.
“You’re lying to me, Daniel. I could see the way you both stared at each other with hate. You made a promise to me you will always tell me the truth, remember?” Lisa said and Daniel sighed softly.
“Fine, I knew him. That was in the past. I do not want to talk about it now. All is in the past and I do not know him anymore” Daniel said and stood up from the couch. Walking towards his table to pick up his phone. He just wanted to call the doctor so he could come to check on Lisa.
“He hurt you,” Lisa said and Daniel scoffed
“Is it that obvious?” Daniel asked as he picked up his phone dialing the doctor’s number but his number wasn’t going through.
“What did he do to you?” Lisa asked
“Please Lisa, I do not want to talk about it,” Daniel said and Lisa pouted. Daniel exhaled deeply. This woman is charming and she always uses it on him to make him do or say things he doesn’t want to say.
“We were once best of friends,” Daniel said as he walked towards Lisa and sat beside her. Lisa opened her eyes wide in shock. Best of friends? She couldn’t believe it. Who would have thought Alfred king of all people had a best friend in his past?
“We were so close that people began to think we were gays,” Daniel said and smiled as the memories came rushing into his head.
“Alfred was like the brother I never had. Although during the period of our friendship, Andrew never liked me he just played along because of Alfred” Daniel laughed
“What happened between you guys?” Lisa asked
“His girlfriend Rhoda was killed and I was framed for killing her. That was what happened,” Daniel said and Lisa opened her mouth in shock. This was not a plaything.
“Did you kill her?” Lisa asked and Daniel shot her a deadly glare.
“Are you asking me that? Do I look like a killer? Of course, I didn’t kill her. I loved Rhoda so why would I kill someone I love?” Daniel said in response
“You had feelings for Rhoda?” Lisa asked
“Yes. I had met Rhoda before Alfred did. But the moment Alfred saw Rhoda, I had to let go of my feelings for Rhoda so Alfred could have her because they were a perfect match. As of then, Alfred was broken and the only thing that could fix him was love. Rhoda was the key to that ” Daniel said
“Did Alfred know you had feelings for Rhoda?” Lisa asked
“No, but he later found out. Andrew told him. That guy was always looking out for Alfred. Despite the fact he doesn’t like me, I like him a lot” Daniel said
“What did Alfred do when he found out you loved Rhoda?” Lisa asked
“He scolded me that I should have told him but I had to lie. I had let go of the feelings and was in love with someone else,” Daniel said and Lisa sighed softly.
“Did you ever explain to him that you didn’t kill Rhoda, maybe it was a set up”
“Of course, it was a setup….”
