DIEGO HERNANDEZ"What am I doing?" I cursed myself for getting out of my room. Arabella was sleeping in the room while I was struggling to figure out what am I doing exactly.I shouldn't get close to her in the end we'll have to get a divorce after a year. After Simon will sort everything, I have to divorce her.I shouldn't get this close to her.I have never allowed anyone in my study but today I myself took her to that room and on top of that I told her she can go there whenever she feels like it.This is too much.I was about to go to the study when my phone rang I looked at the id, it was Christopher, which made me roll my eyes.Not again."Yeah," I answered."There has been a problem." He said."I can perfectly say that there has been some problem that's why you called. I don't think we are that close where you would call me to ask 'how I am'.""I am Serious Diego. There has been some serious problem.""What is it, Christopher?""One of our men died again. Someone murdered him an

ARABELLA HERNANDEZ Finally, I was successful in making my choco-chip cookies, I ran upstairs all excited with a bowl in my hand. As I reached our room, I found Diego looking outside the window while talking on his phone I made my way towards him and waited for his call to end.I know I was being too much desperate but I just can't help myself. Someone is finally being nice to me like talking to me like a normal person. This is the first time I have cooked something different for someone, in my old house I used to cook these things only for myself no one ever had them.So I am really excited for Diego to have these cookies and praise me.Of course, praise me, I am the best!"I am done with the cookies!" I announced.He turned back with his brows furrowed then made his way towards me."Taste it," I said all excited extending the bowl towards him.He looked at the bowl once then back at me unsure of its taste."What?" I asked."Does it even taste good?""How would I know? So to know it

ARABELLA HERNANDEZ When we reached home, Diego took me straight to our room he didn't even let me answer Dad's question. Dad too was confused by his sudden behavior.As we were inside our room Diego stood in front of me looking straight into my eyes."There are few things that you don't know about Simon which may hurt you but now you need to know them."I scanned his face once before asking "Is it something bad?"He nodded."I don't want to know," I replied.Diego came closer to me, placing his o ne hand on my chin making me look up at him "I have noticed something about you, you never ask the question 'why' and I think I know why because you don't wanna get hurt."He was right. I never asked Simon why he kept me caged for 6 months. I never asked him why he is away from me for more than a year. I never asked him why doesn't tell me about his work and above all, I never asked him why am I not allowed to tell people who my brother is."I am scared of losing people that's why I never se

1 WEEK LATERARABELLA HERNANDEZWhen I woke up Diego was already up. This was the first time he was up before me, strange."You up? Go get freshen up, the breakfast is ready."I sat up on the bed rubbing my eyes a few times, I looked up at him "Don't tell me you made the breakfast? I won't have it. You are a very bad cook."He glared at me playfully "Luckily I didn't.""Then I am fine with having breakfast."Sliding his phone into his pocket he got up from the couch and said "Come downstairs. It's 10 already."My eyes widened "10?" "Yeah, you were really lost in your beauty sleep and I didn't want to disturb you.""Fuck!" I muttered getting up from the bed."Woah. Cursing early morning is not a good lady."I gave a sweet smile and replied "I am sorry Daddy.""Daddy?" He smirked and then made his way toward me, standing in front of me he said "I really don't mind you calling me that. In fact, I love it." My eyes widened "but it would be inappropriate if you use that in front of Dad so

Officer James Kennedy yelled at his men.Officer James Kennedy is one of the senior inspectors who has been given a case, till now this mysterious case is number 101, where someone is killing people. He has already murdered 21 people now."Get me the file of this case." Officer Kennedy ordered.An officer handed the file over to this senior inspector.James Kennedy sat on his seat and started reading the file while asking all the other officers to leave the room. Everyone exited the room, they all knew Officer Kennedy was a bit crazy. Crazy in the sense of his work. He loves his work and gets crazy when he couldn't get any evidence about the killers, so at this point leaving him alone was the best option.Kennedy took an hour to go through the whole file about the murder cases. Marking a few things that seemed to be important he called a meeting of other officers."After going through the file there are a few thi

DIEGO HERNANDEZ:After taking a shower, I wrapped a towel around my waist and made my way out of the washroom. Picking out my suit from the closet I dressed up and went downstairs, Dad was waiting for me at the breakfast table. I went and took a seat in front of him."Morning Dad." I greeted him."Morning son." He replied.A maid served my breakfast. I started eating my food while looking at my phone growing through the mail when Dad said "Son you need to remember one thing."I looked up from my phone at him with my brows furrowed."You are now 30, you realize that?""I know that Dad," I replied.He smiled "Then why aren't you getting married."I rolled my eyes.Not again."I'm fine Dad. I don't want to take any more responsibilities.""A girl in your life will do you good.""Stop Dad, please. Don't start again." saying that I focused back on eating."I am getting older Diego, is it wrong that I want to see my son married before I die?"I sighed and got up from my seat."I'll think ab

ARABELLA CAMERON:Wearing a bathrobe I came out of the washroom after taking a long bath, I removed the towel from my hair letting it down, stuffing headphones in my ear, and playing a song.With the music, I started swaying my hips dancing like a complete mess.I mean you can't blame me this is the least crazy thing I am doing, staying locked up in the same house for 6 months anyone would go crazy and I am on the edge of losing my mind.After dancing like a mess of course for 30 minutes I decided to control my emotions and seated myself on the couch taking deep breaths and once as every day cursing Simon in my mind. Calming myself I got up from the couch and stood in front of the mirror admiring my beauty."You are getting more beautiful every day Ara. Oh, Sweet Jesus! Girls out there would be so jealous of me once I get out of this hell."Well, it's me doing this every day. There is no one to admire me in this hell so why not do it myself?After putting on some comfortable clothes,

ARABELLA CAMERONI was sitting in my room when Uncle came to tell me that Diego would be paying a visit today in the evening.Why would he come to see me?But it's good that I'll be getting to know my soon-to-be-husband at least once before marriage.In the evening choosing a nice dress I wore it and went downstairs but halt on my steps as soon as I saw a beautiful man sitting on the couch with his phone in his hand typing something while Uncle was talking continuously.He's rude."Ara, you're here," Uncle said on seeing me.As Uncle said Diego raised his gaze, and our eyes met with each other. I couldn't help but stare at him. Getting up from the couch he made his way towards the staircase, I too moved down. When we were close to each other he stopped and introduced himself "Diego Hernandez."Damn that voice! Kill me! He is just like a hot and sexy character in a book!"Arabella Cameron," I replied."Nice to meet you, Arabella.""Likewise."He is not rude to me as he was to Uncle. He

ARABELLA HERNANDEZI didn't remember last night while crying when did I fall asleep. In the morning I was preparing breakfast lost in my thoughts about what Diego said last night. I know he was angry and Dad too said that he has no control over himself when he is angry but I can't stop thinking about it. Fine, I agree it was my fault but he could've told it in a better way rather than yelling.Someone came running and switched off the gas knob, I looked beside me it was Deby."Where are you lost, Ara? You would've burnt the food."I shook my head "I-I'm sorry I was just thinking something."She placed a hand on my arm, scanning my face she asked "Are you okay?"I nodded "Yeah." Saying that I focused on cooking the food.The maids served the food on the breakfast table. I was talking to Deby about a few things when Dad came and took his seat at the dining table."Good morning Ara." He greeted.I smiled and replied "Morning Dad.""So what do we have for breakfast today?""Pancakes, egg

ARABELLA HERNANDEZ I was walking back to the penthouse though I never felt scared walking alone at night whenever I used to sneak out from my old house but today, I don't know why I was scared. After what happened yesterday of course I should be scared.What if Diego wouldn't have been there with me?And why are those people even trying to kill me? Does Simon have any connection with them?Fucking hell! This shit is complicated."Shall I be your bodyguard for the night?" Came a voice from behind making me jump in horror. I turned around with one hand placed on my chest."Jesus Connor! You scared me!" I said breathing heavily.He chuckled then made his way towards me "Sorry for that dear lady."I rested both my hands on my waist suspiciously scanning his face "You know sometimes I really wonder if you are stalking me, wherever I go, you are always there.""Stalking? Oh, I am so hurt. It's just I was walking back home after a dinner date which didn't go well when I saw my friend so I t

ARABELLA HERNANDEZWhen I woke up there was no one in the room. Sitting up on the bed I picked up the glass from the bedside table and drank water. I could still feel the weakness. At the same time, Dad entered the room with a tray in his hand Diego followed him from behind."Finally you are awake!" He said coming inside the room and taking a seat beside me. Diego stood at a distance with his eyes fixed on me. Dad asked again "Feeling better?"I nodded "A lot.""I have brought some soup for you." He then leaned closer to me and whispered "And don't worry it's not vegetarian."I chuckled when my eyes fell on Diego there was a light smile on his lips too."Thank you, Dad.""Oh, you don't have to thank me, Ara, as a Dad I think it's my responsibility to take care of my daughter."He placed the tray on my lap, I started having the soup from the bowl."Is it good? I asked Deborah to add many things in it to make this disgusting soup taste good." Dad asked."It is good." Then I leaned a bit

DIEGO HERNANDEZ I looked down at Arabella she was finally asleep. I never thought it would be this dangerous of course she would be scared after what happened today, even I was afraid that we would make out alive from that place. Getting up from the bed I made my way outside the room, reaching my office room I called Simon."Diego?" He answered."What the fuck is going Simon?"I was really mad at him. It was never my responsibility to face these situations, he promised me I would never have to face such situations under his security but today he broke the promise."What happened?""Watch the news. We were attacked today at Arabella's event. She got attacked twice, Simon. You told me they are gonna use her to get to you and if I marry her they wouldn't dare to kill someone like me.""It's complicated Diego.""I don't fucking care Simon because of you she is in danger, are you understanding that?""I know Diego. I know I am trying to save her. I'll sort everything out.""When are you g

ARABELLA HERNANDEZ "I'm afraid she won't be able to join you." Came a voice from behind while I was talking to Connor making me freeze completely.Is this a dream? Or is he really here?As I turned around, Diego stood at a few distances looking straight at us. Honestly speaking I did not expect to see him here especially when I didn't ask him to come. But seems like he is the best person in my life.He made his way towards us."Actually, the coming Tuesday we need to attend a function, and being my wife, Arabella has to join me there."Connor smiled at Diego "That's fine. She can help me some other day maybe later this week and I don't think you'll have any problem.""My apologies this week would be a bit difficult for her to join you."I looked at Diego totally confused. His eyes were still fixed on Connor with a light smile plastered on his lips but the smile did not feel good at all... on both sides."May I ask why is that?" Connor asked with the same not-so-pleasant smile. It wa
