Dying in silence

~One month later~

I entered the living room and glanced around looking for Darrel.

It has been a month already. That day still felt like yesterday when Roosevelt and my family reconciled in Florida.

We’ve came back to Houston and life couldn’t be more good with Darrel around.

Fred, I will call him Fred since that’s what I know him as. The judge sentenced him to 8years in prison.

Thankfully, the police were able to apprehend the man that ordered him around and he was sentenced to life imprisonment.

The man at the top was also caught and he was given 5years in prison.

Dad dismissed all of the workers in the mansion when we returned because one of them was giving out information about what’s happening in the house.

Darrel asked me to come over to his house today that he has something to show me.

He called me minutes ago that I should stay downstairs and wait for him.

I stood akimbo, waiting for him to show up.

Suddenly, there was a blackout.

Huh?

My mind drifted to the mall, in the dressing room.

There was a blackout also.

Geez..

What’s going on..

I fished out my phone from my purse and as I clicked on the flashlight, the lights came back on.

Oh, God.

I sighed and off the lights on my phone.

My eyes caught with Darrel’s friends and I furrowed my brows.

They all stood beside each other and suddenly, they began singing.

*Someone… has finally fall in love….*

*In love….*

Wait….

Darrel showed up behind them and scoffed.

“You guys are horrible”he said to them before facing me.

Then, he smiled and came down to me.

“So, I thought I should make our relationship official”he started as he slipped a necklace out of his trouser pocket.

“I believe the guys will back off when they see this on you”he continued and grab my hand then drop the necklace on it.

*She’s taken*was written on it.

“What?”I laughed.

How can he still sound jealous on this.

“Do you like it?, you have to put it on so those guys will know you are already taken by another guy”he explained.

“It’s beautiful, I love it. Gosh, you’re such a jealous cat..”I smiled as I admired the necklace.

He took it back from my palm and circled around me then fixed it around my neck.

“Now, my turn”he said and brought out another necklace.

*He’s taken*was also written on it.

Gosh.

“You know, the girls won’t stop hitting on me In class, so, if they see that I’m already taken, they will stop crushing”he smiled.

He gave the necklace to me and turned around.

I stared at his back blankly.

What does he want me to do?.

“C’mon, put the necklace on me”he whined.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Oh.

I unhooked it and slowly hung it around his neck.

He turned back to me and chuckled.

“So, I believe we are done here. I can’t believe you made us sing as if we were some kind of choir”Harry blurted out.

“Don’t even use the term,’choir’, your voices are horrible”Darrel turned around and laughed.

He turned back to me and smirked before claiming my lips and kissing me passionately.

*What the… that’s enough*Kyle teased and the others laughed.

Darrel stopped for a while and said without turning,”you guys should leave”

“Of course, we are!, do you think we would love our eyes to go blind with this display?”Mike joked.

Darrel took my lips back and continued kissing me.

Mama mercy.

It felt so good!.
