Stolen by the Man I Shouldn’t Love Chapter 11
After changing into her navy blue satin pajamas, Dianna stared back at her reflection in the mirror. The bathroom was more luxurious than her entire apartment in Paris, and it was overwhelming.Knowing she would be sharing a room with Clinton that night was messing with her sanity. After the kiss they had shared, neither of them had said a word to each other. They were avoiding each other's gaze—more like she was avoiding his, but he wasn’t any different.Letting out a deep breath, she stepped out of the bathroom. Clinton was sitting on the bed, scrolling through his phone. When he realized she was in the room, he lifted his head and spared her a glance.She ignored him and went to the dressing table. As she combed her hair to remove the tangles from her shower, she debated whether to join him on the bed or not.A wave of relief washed over her when he stood up and walked out of the room. Taking that chance, she hopped onto the bed, covered herself with the duvet, and placed her phone

At the loud voice, the head cook ran into the dining room.“Who made this food?” Ann asked again.“I am sorry if there is an issue with the food, ma; it won’t happen again,” the head cook apologized, bowing his head.Nothing was wrong with the food—Dianna had prepared it herself. She looked at everyone's faces as they ate. Their expressions were unreadable.“I just need to know the person who made the food,” Ann insisted. The head cook raised his head and looked at Dianna but didn’t say anything.“Ann, I—”“I made the food, ma,” the head cook answered, cutting Dianna off.This could cost him his job. Maybe she shouldn’t have gone to the kitchen, but she was still confused. Nothing was wrong with the food.She took her fork and ate the pancake on it. It was fine.“This is the best food you have ever made,” Ann said, and others nodded in approval, their faces smiling.Hearing that, Dianna's chewing slowed down, and her heart calmed.“It tastes so good. Aunty, I might steal your cook bac

As Clinton drove, Dianna couldn't help but glance at his profile. The hard lines of his face had softened slightly, and his usual tension seemed to fade away. She turned to him, catching a slight smile—subtle but real."Where are we going?" she asked, unable to contain her curiosity."You will see," Clinton replied, his eyes still on the road, the hint of a smile lingering. He didn’t say anything else, leaving her in suspense.They left the busy city streets behind and drove into the open countryside. Trees and fields surrounded them, and a soft breeze filtered in through the windows.Eventually, Clinton pulled off the main road and onto a narrow path leading to a hilltop. He parked the car and looked over at her, something unreadable in his eyes. "Come on," he said, opening his door and stepping out.Confusion crossed Dianna’s face. Was he trying to lure her to the hilltop to kill her? Or push her off the edge? If he killed her, no one would know what happened. A cold shiver ran down

After returning home, Dianna spent the rest of the day with Clinton. He had work to do, so he locked himself in his home office.The house didn’t feel as cold as before, and for the first time, a flicker of hope rose in her. Maybe, just maybe, things could turn out good for her.The next morning, she woke up early and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for Phillip and Clinton.A few minutes later, she was done and pleased with her work. She made her way to Clinton's room and knocked on the door.Immediately, the door opened, and he stood in front of her, dressed in a suit. His hair was neatly styled, and he smelled nice."Good morning," she greeted, offering him a small smile.He raised an eyebrow but said nothing."Breakfast is ready," she added.He looked at her for a few moments before giving an answer that sank her hopes. "I'm not hungry.""Please feed Phillip; he's been up for a while," he said, already walking away down the hall.Dianna stood there, feeling the coldness in

When Dianna and Clinton entered the house, he immediately started instructing his guards while she went to put Phillip on the bed so he could sleep comfortably. By the time she returned to the living room, Clinton had already dismissed the guards.As soon as she stepped inside, his dark, stormy eyes landed on her.“Did you even think for a second?” he started, his voice unnervingly calm. But beneath it, she could feel the unmistakable undercurrent of anger. “How could you leave the house without the driver?”“I didn't think there was a need to go with him. I knew my way,” she answered cautiously, not wanting to provoke him further.“Exactly. You didn't think. Do you have any idea what could have happened to you if I hadn’t arrived in time? Should I tell you what was going to go wrong?” His voice rose as he spoke, frustration clear in every word.“I am sorry. I didn't know all this was going to happen. I just wanted to get groceries. I didn’t think people would recognize me so quickly,

Dianna looked at the caller ID and saw Collins' name flashing on the screen.“I know it’s you, Collins,” she said.“Well, you answered like you didn’t know who I was, so I thought I’d give you a little scare,” he chuckled.“Sorry, I didn’t check my phone before picking up the call,” she apologized, rubbing her forehead in an attempt to ease the dull ache.“Are you alright? Is he treating you well?” he asked, his voice laced with concern.“I’m alright. The media is just making a fuss about my marriage with Clinton,” she replied.“Hope they’re not causing you any harm. How is Clinton handling the situation? If things are getting out of hand, I have a friend that works at one of the major media houses over there. I can ask for his help.”Her heart tightened at his genuine concern, and she felt a lump form in her throat. Tears pricked her eyes. Collins and Loveth were the only people who didn’t judge her for who she was.Or maybe it was just because they never knew Daphne. Pushing the tho

The next morning, Dianna woke up with a heavy ache in her chest and a pounding headache. Dragging herself out of bed, she went straight to the bathroom and stood in front of the mirror, staring at her reflection.Her eyes were swollen from crying, and her skin looked pale against the morning light filtering through the curtains.She immediately brushed her teeth and took a bath. Throwing on sweatpants and a tank top, she tied her hair into a loose bun and headed to the kitchen. If nothing else, she could at least prepare breakfast and distract herself from everything going on.“Mama!” Phillip’s voice caught her attention as she lazily walked into the kitchen. She halted and turned, seeing him running toward her.“Phillip!” she exclaimed, her heart swelling as she rushed toward him.He giggled, his little arms reaching for her. She scooped him up, holding him tightly as tears streamed down her face. She couldn't control them.“Oh, I missed you so much, baby,” she whispered, kissing his

The boardroom was filled with murmurs, the sound of papers shuffling, and the occasional clink of pens against the table, but Clinton's mind was elsewhere.Seated at the head of the long conference table, he stared at the presentation on his laptop screen. Yet, no matter how hard he tried to focus, all he could see was Dianna’s tear-streaked face.Her words echoed in his mind, and no matter how much he tried to push them aside, they lingered.She had always been composed, never raising her voice. But today, she had revealed a different side of herself—one that had stirred something deep within him.Damn it.His grip tightened on the edge of the table, knuckles turning white. This wasn’t supposed to happen. He wasn’t supposed to feel anything."Mr. Blackwood," a voice cut through his thoughts, snapping him back to the present.His gaze lifted sharply. "Yes?" His tone was curt, and he didn’t miss the slight flinch from the junior associate addressing him."We're waiting for your input o

Dianna was behind the wheel, speaking into her phone as she drove. “I will be there before nightfall,” she said calmly. She had come back for Daphne. Leaving Paris hadn't been easy, but she knew Daphne needed her now more than ever. Daphne had just given birth to Phillip—a sweet little boy. “The meeting is scheduled for tomorrow, Ophelia, make sure you are here before then,” the voice on the other end reminded her. “Yes sir, I will,” she replied before the call ended. She glanced away from the road for just a moment to call her mum. But when she looked up, a car was speeding toward her. She slammed the brakes hard, and her car skidded to a stop. Her hands trembled as she sat frozen, staring at the wrecked car ahead. Her phone slipped from her hand as she jumped out of the car, rushing to check on the person inside the other vehicle. Peering through the window, her face drained of colour. She stood frozen, unable to move. What had she done? Tears rolled down her cheeks as she stoo

Clinton stepped out of the bathroom and glanced at Dianna. “Dress up, we are going out,” he told her.She looked at him, curious. “To where?”“You’ll know soon, babe,” he replied, pressing a quick kiss to her lips before walking out with his phone in hand.The word babe echoed in Dianna’s head. She stood still for a moment, trying to process it. He had called her babe. Her heart swelled with happiness. Everything she had wished for seemed to be falling into place, and she couldn’t feel more content.If she had known things would turn out this way just by coming here with Clinton, she would’ve insisted they travel together right after their wedding.She picked out a printed sundress and added a hat to complete the look. After checking herself in the mirror and deciding she looked fine, she left the room to find Clinton.He was already dressed in casual clothes, a phone held to his ear. The white t-shirt he wore fit snugly, showing off his toned build. The black shorts gave him an edgy

As Dianna stirred from her dreams, she shifted slightly, feeling a firm, warm body beneath her. The sensation made her pause, and when she finally opened her eyes, she found Clinton sleeping soundly beside her. Relief flooded her—she had feared he might leave after everything that had happened between them. But seeing him still there, holding her close, filled her heart with quiet happiness.Her gaze roamed over his features, her fingers tracing the shape of his eyebrows down to his lips. He was breathtakingly handsome. And after last night, she felt herself falling for him even harder than before.No more ‘buts,’ Dianna. You’ve spent your whole life second-guessing. It’s time to live in the moment, Loveth’s words echoed in her mind.She was done living in her sister’s shadow. She was Clinton’s wife now—his in every sense of the word. And he was hers.A deep, husky voice vibrated against her fingers. “If you keep that up, you’ll wake up my little friend.”Startled, Dianna quickly pull

Immediately after the words left Dianna’s mouth, she knew she meant them. She wanted him, every piece of him. She had only been teasing him, but the look of longing on his face sparked her own desire.It took Clinton no time at all to pull Dianna from her seat and press his lips against hers.He didn’t wait for her to react before he began kissing her with a passion and warmth she never knew existed. His mouth carried the taste of the sweet wine they’d just shared, and he drew her closer to him.“You make me wild,” Clinton said, his voice rough with yearning and need. He placed a slow kiss where her neck met her shoulder, and Dianna tilted her head to give him more room. He trailed wet kisses up to her ear.“Do I really?” Dianna whispered, her breath shaky.“Yes, you do,” he replied. His fingers brushed along her bare arm while his lips teased the spot behind her ear, stirring a growing heat in her stomach.“Oh…” Dianna breathed out softly, caught off guard by the wave of pleasure.Cl

The sheer excitement radiating from Dianna, paired with the bright smile on her face, reassured Clinton that bringing her here had been the right choice.She sprang up from her seat, eager to step outside the plane. Clinton followed closely, watching as she greeted the pilot and flight attendants, who were already waiting beside the aircraft. He acknowledged them with a brief nod before turning his attention back to her.“Do you like it?” he asked.Her eyes sparkled as she turned to him, wrapping her arms around him in a sudden hug. “Thank you. I love it so much!”Just then, a sleek car pulled up in front of them, and Dianna pulled away, her brows furrowing in confusion. The driver stepped out, standing respectfully before them with a slight bow."Mr. Smith, welcome," the man greeted before shifting his gaze to Dianna, offering a polite smile. She returned it, though the confusion still lingered in her expression.“Thanks, George,” Clinton acknowledged before stepping forward."This w

Dianna had been avoiding Clinton ever since that night at the restaurant, hesitant to face him. But she knew she couldn't keep running, especially when he was making every effort to talk to her.Now, they were on a plane heading to their honeymoon, yet Clinton still hadn’t revealed their destination. She wanted to ask but didn’t know how.He sat a short distance away, focused on his laptop, while she pretended to read a novel. Their eyes met briefly before she quickly shifted her gaze back to the book, though nothing she read seemed to sink in.“Are you alright? Do you need anything?” His voice broke through her thoughts.Looking up, she saw that he had closed his laptop and was now standing beside her. Before she could answer, her stomach let out a loud rumble. Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.“I think I’m hungry,” she admitted.Clinton smiled, settled into the seat next to her, and pressed a button. "I need a flight attendant here now," he instructed.Within moments, a flight

Dianna stirred awake, feeling the softness of the sheets beneath her. She slowly sat up, blinking as she took in her surroundings. Her dress from last night was still on her, slightly wrinkled.How did she end up here? The thought crossed her mind as she placed her feet on the floor. But the moment she tried to stand, a sharp headache struck, forcing her back onto the bed.“Ouch,” she muttered, pressing a hand to her temple.Fragments of last night’s events flashed through her mind. "I don't have a home. The house is too cold for me. It is not my home." The memory of her own words made her head throb even more.How much had she said? Had she embarrassed herself in front of Clinton?Shaking off the thoughts, she slowly made her way to the bathroom, letting the cool water wash away the remnants of the night before. Feeling somewhat refreshed, she changed into a simple white top and blue shorts before heading toward the living room.The smell of food drifted from the kitchen, making her

Clinton watched as Dianna stood still, refusing to move. Her whiny voice filled the near-empty restaurant. Collins had already struggled to get Loveth home, and now, Dianna was making things just as difficult.“Dianna, we have to go home,” Clinton reasoned, trying to keep his patience.“I don’t have a home,” she mumbled, sinking back into her seat. “That house is too cold. It’s not my home.”“But Phillip is there,” he reminded her, and immediately, her face brightened.“I miss him so much—my little baby,” she said, wrapping her arms around herself.Then, out of nowhere, she burst into laughter. With the restaurant now empty, Clinton was at least grateful that there wouldn’t be a scandal in the news the next morning.“Are we really going on a honeymoon?” she asked suddenly, her brown eyes fixed on him.He nodded, but her expression shifted into a frown. “Nothing’s going to happen there, right? You don’t want me... I disgust you.”“Dianna, stop this and let’s go,” Clinton urged, but she

Clinton slammed his fist on the desk, running a frustrated hand through his hair.This feeling was foreign to him. He had never experienced anything like this before—jealousy, possessiveness. The very thought of that man being close to Dianna was enough to drive him insane.Every time he saw Collins near her, touching her, making her smile, it sent rage coursing through him. He despised the way Collins looked at her, the way he spoke to her, and most of all, how he managed to make her laugh so effortlessly."Arghhh," he growled, hitting the desk again. She was supposed to smile for him, not Collins. Why didn't she ever look at him that way? Why didn't she smile when he spoke?‘Because you never smile at her,’ a voice in his head taunted.‘I do,’ he argued back.‘Oh, you mean that arrogant smirk you always throw at her?’Clinton rolled his eyes in annoyance.‘And now you're even rolling your eyes like her. You're completely lovesick.’That was enough.“Shut up,” he muttered, forcing th
