Be Careful With My Heart I Always Will
Diana couldn't sleep.She didn't know if it was guilt eating her up or simply because she was overthinking things.Hailey's frail body fainting and falling in Edwards' arms kept on replaying in her mind.She finally sat up on bed by dawn and walked up to the table for a glass of water.She wondered how Hailey was doing. She toppled unto the comfy couch, her eyes shimmering with tears and loneliness in her bitter heart.Did she do the wrong thing? Hailey would probably hate her now. And to make it all worse she wouldn't be around to defend herself against Stephanie's vile claims and lies. Even if she decides to return to Chicago, would anyone believe her? Lilian is dead and no one knows of Stephanie's threat to her life. She was in a dilemma and a very bad one.Her eyes fell on the TV remote lying on the table with shaky hands she picked it up and switched the TV on.A loud noise erupted from the plasma, some shouting others cooing and throwing flowers at the stage.Practically half the wh

Jamie found herself zoning out completely. She still found it difficult to believe what she had seen on TV.Constantly, her mind flashed back to the many times Jake had made assertions about Diana being Stephanie.It was hard to believe because somehow, Jamie couldn't believe Diana would do such a thing. They've known each other since childhood and although they had their differences Jamie would always point out Diana's personality.It was everywhere in the news, at restaurants, casinos, pubs, and even companies. Diana had made a fame for herself.And even now as Jamie waited for Milton who was shopping things for her son, the TV outside was blaring loudly with shouts and choruses. Edward had come to say something at last and to Jamie's surprise it wasn't exactly what everyone expected.The ladies seated some metres away from her began to speak at the end of Edward's interview,"Diana didn't only impersonate Stephanie, she poisoned her husband's mind against her and sadly, Edward Colli

While Jamie managed to put her crying son to sleep, Milton packed the accessories from his car into the house. Jamie quietly left the room in order not to wake her son up and stopped abruptly by the stairway watching Milton bring in the things he shopped.Jamie was instantly moved to tears. She hadn't agreed for him to do this but he didn't mind and now all alone he was moving them into the house. From the crib to the massive clothes and shoes and socks, no one would ever think they weren't his family. Earlier today, he even called her baby his son and stood up for them. She wiped her tears as she thought Jake should have been the one doing this. They would have been a happy and perfect family. Jamie was scared. She knew that she wouldn't stay with Milton for long and she had no plans whatsoever. She scolded herself for getting too comfortable and forgetting that she was still in Chicago. Anybody can recognize her and inform Jake and the last thing Jamie wanted was to cause trouble fo

Mike was surprised yet hurt."You.. you're pregnant?" He saw her eyes cloud up with tears and then without a word she rushed out of the building and onto the streets."Beverly!" he called her name for the first time but she didn't stop she kept running and consequently didn't look before crossing the streets.Fortunately his training skills over the months came to use and he caught up with her at the nick of time. He pulled her forward causing both of them to fall backward and with her pregnancy in mind, he shielded her by making her fall on him instead.The blaring horns of the car died down and sped past them.Beverly got up on her feet, feeling slightly dizzy. Mike did not fail to put his arms around her however she tried to yank it off but he held her tightly."What are you doing?" her voice broke. "Let go off me right now!""Will you listen to me?!" he raised her voice at her making her keep quiet and stare at him that instant "You could have gotten run over a while ago!"Beverly

Beverly was basking in her sweet dreams but for some reason, her eyes caught the shadow of someone hovering over her. Her eyes flickered open but immediately shut when the sun's rays threatened her eyes. It made her all the more conscious because she had shut her curtains and even the windows. She turned the other way and opened her eyes slowly to the evil grin on the Don's face.She screamed and tried to jump off her bed but he grabbed her throat and slammed her head on the headboard,choking her."Let go.." she said while trying to push him off her but he didn't budge. He seemed to be enjoying hurting her as he exerted more force on her neck and it wasn't until she began to choke did he let her go.He pulled her by her hair,"Did you miss me, my love?" he sneered "Well, I missed you and I would like to finish what I started.""No,no..let me go you monster! Get off me!" cried Beverly as she drew closer to him and bit him with all of her strength causing blood to seep from his hand.H

Stephanie bursted into Ryan's apartment in a fit of rage. She kicked off her heels and rejected the wine he offered her."What's wrong?" he asked lackadaisically"It's your good for nothing brother! Always driving me nuts with his stupid love for that girl!" she seethed and then threw her hair behind her neck."You should know Edward the most Stephanie, don't be annoyed for no reason." he said "He's changed so much, Ryan! I never believed he could fall in love after our failed relationship." she continued to rant.Ryan passed her the wine glass, "Take a chill pill."She grabbed it and downed the content immediately. "Imagine him humiliating me in front of the whole Chicago! I will show him! How dare he do that..""You seem hurt," Ryan stared at her, his face a mixture of emotions "Would this be the first time Edward is embarrassing you?"Stephanie went quiet for a moment."Did going back to him rekindle your love for him?" he questioned as a smirk escaped his lips."That's not true."

Diana was in a deep mess.The hotel she booked somehow found out she's the runaway from Chicago. She overheard the employees speaking about it and she knew it was high time she parked and left.She hurried into her room and locked the door behind her, her heart beating loudly. She quickly pulled on a gown and parked her hair in a ponytail, grabbed her unpacked luggage and was ready to flee when the hotel door pushed open revealing the gruesome face of the people.Diana clasped her belly and it irritated them the more."Who are you?" the man in front of the mob asked and Diana said nothing. The mob became agitated and raised their weapons in the air, yelling for the man to let them through.Diana panicked at the sight of the weapons in their hands. She didn't care about herself but for her kids. There was no way there'd survive this angry mob that looked nothing like considerate human beings."You deserve to die along with your kids!" screamed one of them holding a huge stick"You whore

"You.." Diana took a step back, her voice cracking and her breath hitched. Ryan smiled back at her. He grabbed a chair and sat opposite from her."Funny how we meet at exactly the same place you ran away from me," a ghost of a smile escaped his lips "Long time no see, Diana Collins""How..how did you find me?" "Don't I deserve a thank you?" he smirked as he looked up at her "Or a soft kiss from that slutty mouth of yours." he got up from the chair which made Diana's heartbeat increase. There was no where she could run to and every step he took made her shiver.He stopped just few inches from her, her back already pressed to the verandah's cold glass. His marble grey eyes boring deep into her baby blue ones. "I must admit that you made a good choice," he took the ends of her hair and began to fidget with it, twirling it round and round his finger as he spoke "Greece is not a very thought of country and if not for your open tracks no one would ever find you. Your tracks are still very

Hailey showed equal surprise. But more than that she was happy and grateful. She had little hope of seeing Diana and also her grandchildren. As she came and stood in front of her, Diana had no idea what to do. She wondered whether to apologize. She didn't know what to expect because during her stay at the mansion, her and Hailey were close enough to pass for mother and daughter. Since she has been away for few months it was only natural to jump into her mother's arms and hug her tightly.Edward kissed her forehead and whispered, "It's the surprise" and then he left them. After a moment of silence, Diana parted her lips and spoke with her head lowered, "I..I don't know if I still have the privilege to call you mother." she lifted her head with tears in her eyes.

"The last floor." she further described and Edward raced towards the elevator.Since Hailey and Henry were not up to his pace, they were left out of the elevator.Edward's heart was jumping in anxiety. Alone in the elevator he could hear his heart beat racing rapidly. If Stephanie hadn't been around and willing to help...his thought trailed off.

It was a month after his death and Edward was recovering very quickly.Despite Diana's insistence for him to rest he refused and really wanted to organize a large funeral ceremony for Ryan."Edward, is that necessary?" had been Diana's reply."Yes, babe." he answered "I know he doesn't deserve it but still we're brothers and I acknowledge that. Things only went awry, and I still wish he had just humbled himself. We would have made the perfect duo.""But Stephanie-" Diana had said "She's refused to speak to anyone."Edward pulled out his phone, "She'll be fine." he said and then proceeded to make a call through when Stephanie had stepped into the room."No need for that," Edward and Diana turned to look at her."I want a peaceful funeral." she sniffed "Just me and him."Edward stepped forward, "I understand if you want a peaceful funeral but you're keeping us from att
