🎀 Chapter 1🎀
💞JASMINE💞
"I heard that Daniella is dead". One of the women said.
'Who is Daniella?', A passerby asked. "Don't you remember that shameless girl?. Falling in love with her best friend claiming it's platonic". Another said.
"Oh yes, I remember her. I can't forget the way she cried, Collins please love me back". The passerby mimicked her.
....
I heard the women as I walked back into the country where I had fled from and the community where I had been humiliated two years ago and I even moved closer to them to hear more of it.
They noticed me, but was too engrossed in their gossip to ask who I am. Of course, no one can identify me and I wouldn't blame them. After leaving here, I had become Soo beautiful and well groomed than I had been years back.
I even changed my name[from Daniella to Jasmine], I also changed my appearance and I also changed every thing traceable to me.
I made my way to the apartment, I used before leaving 2 Years back. Entering the apartment, I wouldn't deny that all the emotion I had been supressing all resurfaced.
I began scanning the room to avoid thinking, there's no sign of cleaning in the room. It's just the way I left it, just that it's now filled with dust and cobwebs.
I laid with my chest on the bed and shouted as a drawer fell on my back. Tears fall from my eyes as I sit up.
Many more tears kept coming.
I opened the drawer and my 12 years old diary fell out. I got it while I was 6 years old, it's my book of memories. I took it with shaky hands, opening the pages and reading it out loud.

I freeze in fear.
'Who could it be?'.

LYNN'S MANSION
"Son, when are you going to take over the company. Your elder sister is not interested and you are the only heir. Don't tell me you are also not interested?". Mrs Lynn shouted at her son, while Mr Lynn is sitted quietly at the side watching it all.
"Mom, I will take over. It's just not now, maybe in three months time". Collins replied showing his disinterest.
"You are the only heir to this family and the LYNN'S ENTERPRISE belongs to you". His dad chimed in.
Collins doesn't have any interest in business all he loves is Music and writing.
As if reading his mind, his mom threatened him. "Son, if you don't take over, I would make sure you don't get close to writing or music. You know what I can do son, I will collect all rights you have on the music and writing industry from you and no more singing or writing".
Collins turned pale, they knows that's his weakness, his life. He really loves music and writing, and his mom never gives fake threats.
His mom is like the man of the house, although she respects her husband. But she is the complete opposite of him, he is kind and gentle. While, she is fierce and stubborn.
Hesitatingly, and with no choice. He agreed, "Okay mom, I will do it".
"Thanks son", She said hugging him tightly. She really loves her son.
He broke the hug ready to go to his own personal mansion, when he began holding unto his head.
His parents rushed to his side in panic, calling out his name.
"Dan Danie_llla, Dan iella, ell_ a, ellaa, Dani..ella". He shouted sweating profusely and blocking his two ears, rolling on the floor.

LYNN'S PERSONAL HOSPITAL
"Doctor, what happened to him?". The person asked the doctor.
"He is beginning to regain his memory", the Doctor answered.
"Doctor, he must not remember anything. I need more dosage, you must make sure the ones this time around is more stronger".
"YES", The doctor said scared, bowing slightly.
Before going, the person said. "No one must know of this, remember your wife and kids are under my watch".
"Yes, nobody would know" . He said in fear watching the back of the unknown person as he walks out.
"Who is this person?".He asked himself, he had never seen the person's face before.
