Bound Forever

” I can’t believe this is over and that I am finally home ” dad said as we got home after the court hearing. Mr Collins played the video that I sent to him right before the execution of my father and he was declared innocent and then he was set free. 

” Dad this is not a dream, we won and we made it and now you are back home to mum and I again ” I said and hugged him. 

” Thank you for getting me out of that place, thank you for trying all you could do to get me out of the prison. my daughter, I will forever be indebted to you ” he said and pulled me in for a hug. 

” Thank you for waiting and believing in me dad, thank you for hanging in there till I came out successfully dad, thank you so much. ” I said.

” I’m so grateful to have you as a daughter Daniella. I’m going inside to have my bath before I finally fall asleep ” he said.

” That’s good dad, I will help mum in the kitchen and then go see Jane to know how she is feeling now ” I said leaving dad in the living room. He walked up the stairs back to his room to take his bath.

” Mum what do you need help with ? ” I asked her as I got into the kitchen. I walked close to her and then hugged her from behind. 

” We did it mum, we got dad back and he is okay now, everything will be alright now mum we made it out of this ” I said and smiled, resting my head on her shoulder. 

” It’s all thanks to you baby, you did all this by yourself despite all you faced and I’m so proud of you darling. I’m sure your father is proud of you too baby ” she said and kissed my cheeks.

” I’m so happy to hear you say that mum, thank you so much for having faith in me. thank you for standing by me, I wouldn’t have done it if you weren’t by my side mum, I wouldn’t have done it mum if it weren’t for you. Thank you ” I said and she touched my face. 

” I think you should go see Jane now, she must me hurting so bad after all she went through to help us in this family. I really feel so bad, ” she said.

” I know mum and I feel so guilty because this is all my fault. I just wanted to see if there was anything I could help you with before I leave here and go see her ” I said.

” There is nothing I need help with so you can leave. help her and stay with her because she needs you this time and she was there for you when you needed her so please give back to her what she gave to you ” she said .

” Thanks mum. I will take my leave now. if I do not come back home then just know I’m safe with Jane ” I said and then left the kitchen. 

” Bye darling ” mum called out and I said bye to her too before leaving the house for Jane’s house. 

” Jane, I’m so sorry all this happened, I’m so sorry I had to take Raymond away from you just when you found him again.  It’s all my fault baby and I’m sorry ” I begged her.

” I forgive you babe, it’s not like you did anything because you didn’t and stop saying it’s your fault because it’s not your fault. Things happen for a reason and I’m sure this is one of those things that happened for a reason.  

I’m sad Daniella but I’m happy that your dad is free from everything he was going through. I’m happy that you are free from all these too babe ” she said and I started crying. 

” What would I do without you baby, I would be a mess, in fact I am a mess without you in my life so thank you for sticking with me through all the troubles and the problems I went through jane ” I said still crying. 

” Oh would you stop being a cry baby. you are going to stay with me and help me mourn and get over Raymond so stop talking as if you are going to run away from me because I’m not letting you go either. we are going to keep bring friends till I find someone else and till you go back to Draco ” she said and I frowned.

” Why would you say that, why would I want to go back to Draco, I don’t want to go back to him, I do not love him anymore. I already filed for a divorce and he doesn’t want me anymore either ” I said.

” What makes you think he doesn’t want you any more because for starters I think otherwise. I think he wants you back because of he wanted to let you go he would have signed the divorce papers by now and moved on with his life but from the look of things, he hasn’t signed them and I don’t think he will ever sign them Daniella so please forgive him and go back to him ” she begged. 

” Why are you taking his side Jane, I do not love him like I did before and besides I already signed the divorce papers, I’m not going to call Mr Collins and ask him to destroy the papers just because I want to change mind which I don’t want to, I am just saying that I can’t go back on my words ” I said. 

” You love him and he loves you too so stop fighting it because you are mad at him. I know he messed up, he fucked up real bad but you are exactly in the position to be too angry at him. so please just forgive him if he comes to you ” she said. 

” It’s not like he will come to ask for an apology, he can easily find someone else to fuck so why would he care about someone as irrelevant as me. ” I said and she opened her mouth to say something more.  

” It’s okay, please shut up now and let me console you. today is meant to be about you and not about me so stop trying to make me forget by putting Draco into my brain. today is going to be about you alone. now you can let it all out and cry ” I said and then put her head on my leg.

” I don’t cry ” she lied, her voice already breaking. ” I am not supposed to be able to cry anymore because I don’t think I have more tears in my eyes but still every single time I think of him, I can’t help myself but cry ” she cried out and I patted her head.

” It’s fine, I understand you, it’s not your fault. let it all out baby ” I said and I could hear her sniffing and I could feel my laps soaking with her tears but still I patted her head.

” I loved him Daniella, I really did and we were supposed to get married because he proposed to me and now he is gone. I feel so empty and sad and there is nothing I can do about it  ” she said still sobbing. 

” Actually you did something about it, you did the best thing. you got his killer arrested and you got his death avenged and that’s the best gift you can ever get him. now all you need to do for him now is for you to just be happy for him. ” I said. 

” You need to stop crying and become the same hard headed Jane that we all know. Be the Jane that would do anything for the love of her life, be the Jane that stole for love, be the Jane that would make herself feel so good all in the name of love. Jane you need to get up on your feet and be happy so Raymond can be happy too ” I said.

” You really think he would be happy if I am happy and I put all this past me Danielley? ” she asked and I nodded my head. 

” I’m sure he wants you to be happy. if he hadn’t been so helpful to us, we would have been able to get the final truth and all this would not be over by now but because he helped us, we helped him in return by putting Danovo in prison. thank you so much Jane, I’m so happy that you are my best friend ” I said and she laughed while crying.

” I am happy too Daniella, if it wasn’t for you then I wouldn’t be the same, I wouldn’t have gotten my soul and I would never have seen Raymond again but because of you, I met Raymond again and although it was long, I had the best time of my life ”  Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
