I woke up in the morning to find Daniels's hands wrapped around my body. The love Daniel and I shared is second to none.

Daniel is my twin brother and we love each other so much. The bond between us was so much that people almost thought we were lovers.

When growing up, our parents tried to reduce the intimacy between us but we were inseparable. Daniel is not just my twin brother but also my shadow. He always protected me with everything in him. Our bond continued growing strong until Vanessa came into our lives. 

Gosh! I hated Vanessa. I always felt she separated Daniel from me because Daniel started giving her attention more than he gave me. I never knew a day will come in our lives when Daniel will take certain decisions without letting me know. My parents were happy with the development and they prayed it lasted. 

It started to dawn on me that I was emotionally attracted to my blood. You know this saying about showing a girl some care and watching her become emotionally handcuffed? It happened to me. I never knew that a day will come when I will get jealous that my twin brother has found love. 

I had to pinch myself and also ask myself by calling out my name “Daniella, could this be love or lust”? 

Fast forward to when Vanessa visited us. Daniel had invited her to our house to meet my parents and also me his twin sister. My parents loved Vanessa immediately they set their eyes on her but I did not like her because she has come to separate me and my twin brother. I felt Vanessa was fake and every attitude she exhibited was to bring my parents to like her. 

I called her aside, warned, and also threatened her to let go of my brother or live to regret coming into our lives. She replied by asking about the crime she has committed to warrant the hatred from me. I kept quiet. Vanessa finally said “The love I and Daniel share can never be broken, not even by you Daniella” I concluded within myself and said to Vanessa “You have stepped on a snake, and be sure to expect its venom” 

I went into Daniels's room the next day, stripped myself, sat on his bed waiting for him to come in, and behold my nakedness. immediately, Daniel came out of the bathroom with his towel tied around his waist, he got confused at my being naked in his room and demanded the reason I removed my cloth. I had to confess to him how I have loved him since we were kids. He replied by telling me that Is natural for me to love him but he still does not understand why I’m naked sitting on his bed. I explained to him further by telling him that the love I had for him was beyond what siblings shared, this was the point he requested I put on my cloth and leave his room. His last words to me before I left were “Daniella, stop being delusional, this is not love but lust”

Daniel told my parents everything and even figured out that this was the reason I never liked Vannessa. My parents cried and regretted not noticing such development on time in order to curtail it. 

Currently, I’m undergoing a therapy session to help me heal and once I get healed, I will leave our house for a while and probably stay in my best friend's house in other for me to heal properly.
