Knocking on the door to Liam's hospital door, I see his mom Laura in here "Danika" Laura frowns looking my way, Fallon told me about the restraining order that Laura placed on her. Plus Laura blames Carringtons for her son being in here "what are you doing here?"
"I came to see Liam" looking at Liam as he looks my way "Hi, I heard about the accident and that you have amnesia. Is it alright if I come in? I'm Danika, Danika Swan whose mom is a Carrington" beating Laura to the punch "I brought two smoothies" showing him the smoothies.
"They might be poisoned" Laura blocks me from Liam, yeah I hate her. She's a horrible woman. She doesn't believe in Liam at all and always belittles him. No wonder her daughter doesn't talk to her.
"Let her through" Liam orders, I go around Laura and towards Liam who is staring at me "your related to Fallon right?"
"She's my cousin" nodding my head yes "but we knew each other before, Professor Kingston" he recognizes the name "yeah, I took his class since I was going through writers block" yeah I have my own little book but it isn't published or anything "You came in and Professor Kingston introduced the two of us, we got smoothies later which" showing him the smoothies, he takes the one I offer "that's a blueberry strawberry"
"Mix mash" he finishes looking from the smoothie then to me "thank you" he sips it and looks surprised "you got them to add almond milk" smiling to me "no one ever remembers to put it in"
"I remember you once said that you prefer almond milk to regular milk or skim milk or non fat..." letting out a laugh, looking over I see the security guard that Laura called "I guess my time is up"
"It is" Laura confirms
"Mom" Liam complained
"It's alright" holding my hand up assuring him, the security guard comes closer "oh my god, just give me one more minute" looking at Liam giving him a brief hug "I'm glad your alive, also don't trust Adam Carrington" pulling away from the guard "oh my god I'm going, I just wanted to see my friend and that's a crime?" Leaving the room as Laura has a satisfied smirk. She's such a bitch, why Fallon bothers—you know what? "You might want to wipe that smirk off your face"
"Oh?" She asks "why is that?"
"I wonder how the world will feel, especially Liam" shaking my head smiling "when they find out that a certain ten year old boy is Liam's brother instead of son" she is pissed off then, so I leave smiling now.
Once I'm back at the manor, I find my family at the dining table "Hey family" smiling to everyone then looking at Adam "cousin"
"Hello cousin" he smiles to me
Looking at everyone else "So, I have an announcement to make"
"Your pregnant?" Fallon asks
Shaking my head no "No, let's just say it's about Adam" looking at my cousin "and what I'm going to reveal at the Halloween party will put him in prison" everyone but my parents know what I'm talking about.
🍷
"Fuck" looking at Felix up and down as he's wearing his Halloween costume with me "I really want to have your baby right now"
Felix chuckles placing his hands on my hips "I don't want to leave either, I mean look at how fucking hot you are" we are dressed as gladiators and Felix looks really fucking hot. Felix and I are basically dressed well for me in a bikini while he's wearing a speedo but we added some armor too.
"Come on" I take Felix's hand bringing him out of the room and down to the party, people look our way as I have us mingle around.
My mom waves me over, she and dad are talking to some people in business suits "I hate you!" We look over seeing Fallon jump on top of Adam causing them to fall into the cake "Eat cake!"
"Uh..." looking to mom and dad
"I can assure you" mom shakes her head looking at them "Adam and Fallon will be no where near the company" Blake is here now with a sling and Cristal is behind him.
Going over to the mic when I see the man of the evening here "Everyone!" Tapping on the mic, everyone quiets down to look at me "first I want to say Happy Halloween and it's so good to have you all here. Second I wish to welcome someone back to the family who has been gone a long time because of Adam Carrington. Why don't you come up Steven?"
People whisper as Felix keeps Adam from leaving, Steven comes up to the stage very pissed off "Hi Dani" Steven and I hug "it's good to be back"
"Steven?" I ask in the mic "why don't you tell everyone where you've been for the last year?"
"A mental institution" he tells everyone "see, I thought I was having a mental break but really it was Adam" motioning to Adam who looks around afraid "who tricked me into thinking I was going crazy, especially when Fallon and Sam came to visit me" people begin to whisper "he had me drugged and paid the nurse assigned to me to keep me from getting better or getting the mail my family sent me. I only got better when my Aunt Cersei and Uncle Daniel came to visit me"
"Is this true?" Blake demands
"I can explain" he says
"Oh my god" Cristal shakes her head
"Also" I bring up a video "this is how Alexis landed in the fire" everyone gasps seeing Adam push Alexis into the fire and has her stay there for some time before pulling her out to call for nine one one. The police come in now and tell Adam his rights before taking him to prison, Adam is begging for the family to listen but they don't.
Steven and I hug again "I'm so glad your back Steven"
"Glad to be home" he cries "thank you"
|Prosecution|
"Miss Swan" the prosecutor asks me as I'm one of her listed witnesses to put my uncle behind bars "what kind of memory do you have?"
"Object" Blake's lawyer calls out "relevance?"
"Just wait" she looks at me "Miss Swan?"
"I have hyperthymesia" looking to the judge then to the jury "this is a rare memory that allows people to remember nearly every event of their life with great precision" looking at the prosecutor "why?"
"Did you know" Blake's prosecutor demands "she has hyperthymesia?"
"No" Blake hissed "I didn't know that was a thing"
"Since you can recall everything that happened" she asks "what happened since seeing Mac the day you believed he died and the day before?" Thinking back to that day recalling everything in great detail. I tell them about how I overheard the conversation between him and Mark Jennings about the baby and how Mark wanted to be in the child's life if it was his but if it wasn't he'd leave, Blake tried to threaten Mark into leaving after bribery didn't work. Then how Blake called Mac to get rid of Mark.
Cristal didn't know about that it seems, everyone begins to whisper as I go through the events of everything I did that day. From even using the bathroom for a shit and taking a shower later. Then I tell them how Blake and Cristal got into a fight about the baby's parentage and that Cristal was essentially called a lying whore.
I then tell them about how Blake called off Mac and that Mac didn't come around the manor until after Mark was shot because when he was shot Mac and I were getting coffee since Mac was a PI and there was this guy that was stalking me and I didn't feel safe. From the look Felix is giving me, he and I will be talking about this. Mac offered to kill him but I told him no, so instead he got me the information he could on the guy.
"After Blake brought Mac to the cellar I didn't see him until I went down to the cellar for some wine for my parents anniversary dinner that I was making" looking at my nails since they need to be repainted "I overheard Mac plead with Cristal who visited him but I saw her spit in his face then she closed the door, she didn't notice me and I put my earbuds in just as a gunshot was heard and I didn't open the door because my uncle had a temper and he had a gun in his hand so..." the DA offered me full immunity and protection if I tell the truth "my uncle then had someone toss the body into the lake"
People begin to speak up and the judge hits her gavel ordering "Quiet! Quiet!"
The prosecutor looks at me "thank you Miss Swan for that very vivid description of the day's events including the times you used the bathroom"
Giving a thumbs up, nodding my head "is this all or..."
"No" she looks at Blake and his lawyer "further questions"
Blake is giving me death glares as I shrug my shoulders to him while Blake's lawyer whispers "You should have taken the deal when they offered it..."
"Can't you do something?" Blake demands
"Your niece" The lawyer shakes his head "gave such a vivid description about that day that it'll be near impossible to dismiss her..."
"Ask her anything" Blake orders
"Cross examine" The lawyer stands up coming towards me "Miss Swan...how do we even know you have hyperthymesia?"
"You can get a doctor to confirm it but" shrugging my shoulders "don't know what else to say"
"I would like" he looks at the judge "to get a doctor's opinion about this hyperthymesia" putting air quotes around it "and test Miss Swan..."
"Object" the prosecutor stands up "even if they get a doctor's opinion, they'll bribe or threaten him or her since from what we've heard this is what Blake Carrington does"
After many hours, the judge tells us the verdict "Blake Carrington shall be given the death penalty and spend the rest of his life in prison"
