DIANAIt was a really beautiful dinning hall to behold, I was beyond fascinated at decorations, everything was in order as we sat comfortably waiting to be served by his butler. "Welcome ma" the butler said as he approached us. "Thank you" I let out a stiff smile. "Why is there a delay?" he questioned the young butler in anger. "The cook sends her apologies sir, she had a little issue but it has been resolved" the butler replied. "What would you like to drink as we await our dinner?" he asked mildly, his voice soft and delicate. "Anything" I replied softly as ever. "Get a cocktail drink for my guest. Are you deaf? Go!" his tone harsh and authoritative. The butler quickly ran out in fear and in a few minutes he rushed back with two cocktails as he served us and went back to monitor our dinner to bring it to us. "Branden!" a loud voice echoed across the walls of the hall, drawing our attention. We sat still with our eyes fixed on the dinner door waiting for the speaker to reach
DIANA"I hope you're ok now" he uttered mildly with that smug smile of his that greeted me. "Yes I'm fine" I placed my head down, avoiding eye contact that would get me tensed and nervous. I was already tensed. I didn't need more of that, with my face down I would easily calm my bubbling nerves and breath well. There was just something Branden made me feel that no other man had ever made me feel. Infact when I was younger, I used to boast of having a heart of stone because I was difficult to impress and I played hard to get till it became part of me. Some of the richest men in my city had approached me, asking for more than friendship, promising to make my life easy and enjoyable. Don't get it wrong I do want to live an easy and enjoyable life but not by people I don't love or want to have anything to do with. Some of this men were even married with kids but some were single and irregardless of their marital status or financial status I was in no agreement to fall for any of them
DIANAThe hot scorching day turned into a windy, freezing, bright night as the moon shun on the earth. The wind glided through the corners of every building and every exposed area. The sky was starry dark but the luminous moon shone brightly as the stars became very visible and numerous.I sat there in front of the bar counter having a good time, sipping tequila with Jeremy and Evelyn. Well, I wouldn't say Evelyn and Jeremy were best of friends but they went along just fine. "Are you for reals? Sylvester walked in on you guys?" Jeremy laughed uncontrollably as though he couldn't control his inflow of laughter." Well that wasn't even the worst part" I muttered."What what?" they questioned in expectancy, thrilled and eager to hear the full story.I took another sip from my tequila and faced them. I could really sense the eagerness to get the full story in their body languages."He asked me if Branden was the reason I called him off...." before I could complete my sentence they burste
DIANAMy entire being was weak from all the gallivanting and attending to customers at the gas station. This job was exceedingly arduous. My stress level was voluminously waxing, draining every bit of energy I had. A car drove in, I was literally too tired to attend to another customer but I endured a little to attend to my last customer before I head home to rest. The car stopped right in front of me."Diana!" Branden's deep calm voice met my ears, almost making me loose balance.Shit! What the fuck is he doing here? How does he know this is where I work? I was left speechless, unable to utter any greetings as a result of the shock from his uninvited presence."Branden" I stared at him in blank amazement."Are you just going to keep staring or you're going to get in? Come on" he smirked at me."I'm still working" I muttered politely to him."I don't care I'll get you another job, just hop in" he persuaded more as he switched off his engine and took a little stare at me.Goddd this
DIANAHe stared at me in blank amazement, his face read that of a man who heard what he never expected.I didn't know if I had said the right thing or the wrong thing, for seconds his eyes were stationary on me without him uttering a word."Wow.... Are you serious? You have feelings for me? I'm sorry Diana I don't feel a thing for you" he uttered with his eyes pale.My heart sank like the Titanic in the middle of the cold icy ocean. I was completely shattered and broken, tears forced their way out of my eyes but I held back. I feel like a teenager that had just been rejected by her crush nevertheless it hurts even more.I was teary, my nose became runny. I wished the ground has swallowed me whole, of course he doesn't love a young middle class girl who has completely nothing to offer him. What was I thinking! God! please take me right now. I feel humiliated. "But you treat me so well... You like been around me. what do you want from me?" I questioned in agony, my eyes almost raining
BRANDEN"Good morning sir" my house keeper greeted politely.I walked past her in silence, I was in no mood to exchange greetings with anyone. There's nothing good about this fucking morning. I feel completely empty and withdrawn. Nothing fucking matters and I had no idea someone's absence would take such a huge turn on my mood. It wasn't just my mood but it felt like part of my soul was missing.I was very certain I had no feelings for Diana but I don't know why I can't get her off my mind. I stepped into my brown tinted Mercedes Benz. I was bothered, worried, empty, restless and uneasy. I could barely concentrate on anything or anyone."Good morning sir.... you were scheduled for a meeting this morning" my driver uttered politely with his eyes set on me through the drivers mirror.He stared at me for a while."Well? Fucking drive!" I ordered and he ignited the engine immediately.The fuck is wrong with you all. I'm not in the mood for your fucking greetings. Just take me to where I
DIANAWe walked out way through the noisy crowd and finally got to the counter. "Two hennessy please!!" Sylvester yelled over the loud music."Wait what? I'm not interested in taking alcohol" I said."C'mon. You need to ease your mind, you look pale and dull. I guess you've been overthinking" he replied.I couldn't disagree because I felt very exhausted from all the the thinking. I couldn't get my mind off Branden neither could I reply his messages or return his calls."Here you go, take a sip and forget your worries" he handed a glass of hennessy. Hours went by and I kept taking shots of hennessy till I could no longer control my stamina. Oh no! I really don't want my head spinning and spinning like the last time I took alcohol, I kept staggering and my brain went loose."Take one more" he said."Sylvester I can't" I rejected.I stood up, trying to order my footsteps well, I fell and forced myself up.My head was hurting and I needed to use the restroom so I walked over to the rest
DIANA"Damn it" I laid back against my bed.My head hurts and I don't know if it was because of the excess alcohol I took last night. Ever since Sylvester dropped me off I haven't heard from him. I want to give him a call but I don't want to seem clingy so I'd rather not dial his number.I scrolled through my call logs, low and behold Branden's name appeared as my last caller."Holy shit!" I widened my eyes in amazement, my heart sank immediately. And i appear to be the caller."Oh no! what the hell did I say to him? what did we discuss? Damn it! I spoke to him during the period I was at the bar. I must have dialed his number while I was drunk" my face went beetroot red as I swallowed down a gulp.What do I do now? I knew I should have never drank, I just suspected something was going to go wrong. Damn it! I need to speak to Evelyn, she needs to help me figure out what to do.I picked my brown leather jacket and a purse, I need her advice or admonition on this issue. I know for a fac
Palm trees swayed to the aggressive breeze that swept across the gloomy horizon. Heavy rain watered the grass and umbrellas were raised to shield from the rain.It was a sad and cold evening. The smiths alongside the press, Branden's relatives, friends, co partners, shareholders, Clifield university's staffs, Evelyn, Jane, men of high caliber, and Diana were all present at the funeral.Soul drained and eyes swollen, Diana was depressed and broken. Nothing could fill the void in her heart, not money, not posession, not parties or friends could spark up a little glimpse of happiness in her.Her heart repeatedly pierced by the emotions she couldn't bear nor control, it all seemed like a dream, the nightmare she was dying to crawl out from.Her one true love was gone, the man she had lived years with, gave her all to. Diana couldn't help but soliloquize. "Do I deserve to live? He is in the grave because of me, what's the use of living without him?"As if loosing her parents wasn't enough,
DIANA"Branden you're ok?!" my stupefied self asked. He blinked twice and morphed out a smile, words couldn't describe how happy I was to see him awake.I embraced him and held him tight, I never thought I'd touch or feel him again. "Diana" he uttered mildly, I could detect the lack of energy and life in his voice. It was low, almost equivalent to a whisper."Branden are you ok? How do you feel now?" "Don't worry about me, how are you? Did those thugs touch you?" he asked."No they didn't, I'm so sorry for putting you in this mess, I didn't mean to. Yes we did things in the past that we regret but this wasn't my prayer for you....."I kept expressing myself like it was the last time I would ever speak to him. A pool of tears formed around my eyelid and I didn't hesitate to let them fall."I understand Diana, it was never my intention to kill your parents, Yes it was planned but I didn't want to be part of it. I was threatened be present when your parents were drugged, I was just a y
DIANAMy heart skipped the minute I saw him fall, what the hell just happened? I hope it's not what I'm thinking.I pushed his door and rushed out to see him on the floor, blood gushing out of him profusely. My heart failed me that minute."Branden are you ok?! Branden? Branden?" I screamed to his unconscious self. My world came crashing and fear saturated all over me. Automatically tears fell from my eyes.Am I dreaming? The men already ran away, how would I help Branden?"Somebody help!!" I yelled to whoever was listening but the street was completely empty as my yells reverberated across the area.My knees caved me to the floor and my eyes watered my cheeks as I watched the only man I ever loved with everything in me lie half dead on the floor.I wiped my tears and tried to lift him up, I pulled him with every muscle I had in me. My efforts weren't yielding much but I didn't give up.I needed to take him to the hospital. I can and must, if he spends another minute here he might be
ONE YEAR LATERDIANAI briskly walked into the ward, my eyes carefully examined the patient lying half dead as his eyes were closed.Other nurses were in the ward too, they had already began operation on the patient. He was loosing blood, too much blood.With the in-depth knowledge of the field, we all put our heads together and kept constant faith as we operated on the man.To be a doctor, I needed to undergo trainings at teaching hospitals so here I am in the teaching hospital, putting heads together with others to save this man's life.I wish I had the ability to save my parents life like this. It's been a full year since i knew Branden was the killer, it still haunts me everyday.I cry myself to sleep every night, It taunts my inner being everytime. I still love Branden and that bothers me up till date, he became a very big part of my life. When I left, I didn't just leave my feelings behind, I also left a big part of my soul and heart.No matter how many times I tried to cover th
DIANAWhat was I thinking? I didn't even care to examine his past. I should have left when I had the chance."How could I leave? All this secrets were buried up somewhere, far from reach. How could I have known?"Fuck! my whole life is ruined, I made love to him, I gave him my body over and over again. I was ready to spend my life with him. It all ends tonight.If Branden is really responsible for the death of my parents then I'd kill myself, I'll commit suicide.I have nothing to live for, how can I break this news to Jane? How would she feel? I kept my eyes on the road and my hands on the steering, the urge to drive into a tree or drive into a wall was sprouting up in my heart. I felt lifeless even though I was alive, he fucking knew about all this and didn't say a thing. He made me walk into his life and give my heart to him irrespective of the fact that he was behind my parents demise.I'll be the reason behind his demise, I can't let him destroy my family and then come into the
DIANA"It was a long time ago, we were careless teenagers back then. He was my senior. We took drugs and partied but I was never addicted to taking drugs, I just took them in special occasions, to impress everyone around me" He took his sit and sat on it. Shit! So Sylvester was right! Branden was really into drugs back then, I didn't completely believe him but this confirms it."He gave me a very hard drug, one my body couldn't take. It affected me for months, I spent nights in the hospital fighting to survive from the harmful drug. And guess what..... Branden slept with my girlfriend in college" He added. I could see pure regret in his eyes, Damn! Was Branden really that much of a bad person? But all this was in the past so what's the use of judging him now?"Is that why you hate Branden so much?" I gave him a not-so-impressed look. Which I'm pretty sure he understood."Well.... you won't get it, you won't understand my pain" he added. This must have happened 10-15 years ago, why is
DIANAIt was late at night by 11 pm, after a hot make out session with Branden, I left him asleep on the bed.The urge to go back into Branden's study was growing again, I don't want to waste my time searching for things I might never see. I think it's best I meet this mystery man to provide more information to me.I slid into a jean and jacket and walked out of the room, my major challenge was going through his guards without having to deal with so many questions.It's quite impossible, they might tell on me. Whatever it might take, I'd keep trying.I ambled out of the house to met Branden's two bodyguards, they took a bow and stared at me for a while.Damn it! What do I say to them?"I need to attend to my sister, she's having a asthmatic attack I need to see her" I faked my panic and anxiousness."Do you need me to alert Mr Branden?" A bodyguard of his said."No absolutely not, I don't want to disturb him. And don't say a word about this to him, he's been helping so much I don't wa
DIANAI shrugged off the disturbing thoughts of Sylvester trying to harm me, I have a pocket knife and that alone should give me confidence to face him."I found drugs in Branden's study cabinet, I don't know what that means" I replied."What's bad in having drugs? He is probably sick or something" Sylvester smirked. It's so hard to keep up with him, why doesn't he know when to quit."I'm not talking about medicine, I'm talking about hard drugs. Rusty lethal drugs in his cabinet" "And why does that bother you?" He picked up his cup of coffee and took a sip. "He is my man and I live in his house, If I find harmful substances where I live. Don't you think I have the right to know what they are doing there?" I scowled his reply.He sighed and went mute for while, I could see that he was feeling reluctant to speak up. There is definitely something he knows that I don't.After all, Branden is his brother so he should be aware of his brother's affairs."Look Diana, I don't think you shoul
DIANAHis brushing became faster and more aggressive, moans left my belly and escaped my mouth. Fuck! Go inside me Branden! As if hearing my thoughts he held his hard length and pushed the cap into me"Ohhhh" I moaned to his sweet thrust. He pushed further and released his full length inside me, a sudden painful sting hit me but the feeling thereafter was sweet.His pace fastened immediately, brushing and hitting my inside as I simultaneously released moans to every thrust of his. He divulged into me speedily and thrusted faster and faster.My legs quivered vigorously as the table underneath me threatened to throw me to the ground. My head followed a back and forth movement.Branden pulled out and slammed his hard wet length on my vibrating clit, three slams of his caused me to shake to the sensation.He inserted it back inside me and started off with a slower tempo, mildly brushing my insides with his veins. I could feel myself high above the clouds.My lips parted to release more
