The entire room was surrounded with a deafening silence. Dianna couldn’t hide her reaction, seeing a thick bundle of signed and legit check. She couldn’t utter a single word either which made Chris smirked. He caressed his chin and said, “What do you think of it, Dianna? That is your reward for leaving my son.” Dianna blinked her eyes out of shocked. She never expected it to see a real bundle of check and if she would sum up everything, it would be enough for a life-time support. One billion dollars was more than enough for her and Dianne. A large sum of money could help to open new branches all over the country. It could be the beginning of a new journey and finally achieved her dreams and goals. However, she didn’t want to be successful in the easiest way. Dianna never thought of using someone’s money to live a luxurious life either. She gasped out of dismayed and looked straight in his eyes. “I apologize, Sir but I can’t accept your gift.” She spoke with confidence. “Are you
Ashley held Dianna’s hands and apologized. She swallowed her pride for her unborn child’s sake. Thinking about their bad relationship would affect her pregnancy, and that was the real reason why Ashley wanted to be friends with Dianna. It wasn’t merely because of an evil plan. If she would have to kneel, she was willing to do it as long as Dianna accepts it. “Please, Dianna. Let’s forget the past and live happily as friends.” Ashley spoke with a hope in her chest. Sincerity showed into her eyes. It wasn’t part of her lies and Dianna knew it was pure. To end this lousy drama, Dianna took a deep breath. Then she looked away from Ashley’s face. She answered, “Yes! Let’s… let’s forget the past and be friends.” A naughty smile showed in Ashley’s face. “Really? Is that true?” “Yes,” said Dianna without blinking an eye. However, Ashley intentionally pushed herself backward and looked like someone pushed her into the ground. She scoffed and acted like she was in pain. Dianna didn’t
Aaron remained silent as soon as they reached his car. He waited for the perfect timing to clear things between Dianna. Earlier, he mentioned about courting her, but it was merely a lie. It was only a plan, and he didn’t consult her yet about it. He undeniably had to apologize before anything bad happen. He gasped and glanced at Dianna for a few seconds then looked away. “I’m sorry, Dianna! I didn’t want to say those words, but I didn’t have a choice but lie,” said Aaron with rosy cheeks and red ears. Dianna wondered why he was acting so weird. She didn’t see anything terrible, instead she was very grateful because of him. She giggled, “Stop it, Aaron! I should be thanking you and I understand why you said those words to them.” After a long battle, Dianna had finally found a way that ended it. Her heart became a lightweight thing like a feather. It was surreal. “Are… are you sure? I thought you’ll get mad at me—” “I will never get mad because of what you did. I am very thankfu
Two weeks later, Dianna and Aaron became a close friend. They didn’t mention about jumping into a romantic relationship, knowing the current situation. As time went by, Dianna discovered a lot of things about him. She didn’t ask Aaron about anything about his life, but as an honest man, he decided to tell her everything including his real job. At first Dianna couldn’t believe that he was a CEO. His family was running a furniture and publishing house company. The moment she heard it, Dianna was amazed of how Aaron remained humble and kind toward other people despite his status. One, sunny afternoon, Dianna took Dianne to the nearby park to take fresh air and unwind after an exhausting week. She knew how excited her little sister was. Dianna brought different snacks, fruits, and cookies. They have decided to have a picnic since it was a warm, bright day. It would help Dianne’s wound to heal slowly and give her a chance to enjoy life. At the massive lawn, Dianna placed a white clot
For a couple of months, Demiel chose to live abroad for his parents. He wanted to stay with them longer, despite knowing Dianna’s situation before. He had no choice but to leave and trust Klaud instead.He was excited to know about their relationship. Yet, he noticed something different when he looked straight into Dianna’s eyes.Instead of asking about her love life, Demiel asked her to have a dinner with Dianne. He wanted to make up with his best friend after being away for a very long time without any update about his life.He said, “Let’s have a dinner in my place with Dianne. What do you think, ladies?”Dianne giggled and shook her head without consulting with Dianna. She was excited to visit Demiel’s house and played some games in his computer.“Stop it, Dianne! We’re going there to have only a dinner. You’re not allowed to play online games, do you understand?”“Why?” asked the poor, young woman. “Just one hour, please.”Dianne pouted her lips. She was hoping Dianna would let h
Dianna was shaking because of fear. She was frightened off when a stranger touched her cheek, yet she couldn’t do something to stop him. She was thinking about Dianne’s safety as she might get in trouble once she tried to escape. Aside from being worried, Dianna couldn’t stop praying for an immediate help from the cops. She dialed the emergency hotline and even told Aaron about it. She knew it wasn’t necessary, but he was the only man who came into her head aside from Klaud. If only Klaud was around, she didn’t have to fear for her, and Dianne’s lives. She knew he could save them from anyone, especially from a group of thugs. But it wasn’t the right time to look for someone who got a family to take care of. It was her dilemma, and she must do something about it while waiting for help. Suddenly, one of the men punched Demiel as soon as he finished talking. He tried to fight back, but they were all strong. Four versus one was a great fight and as expected, Demiel embraced himself t
Demiel watched Dianna from a far. Wondering how he could save his best friend from those group of men. His knees were trembling and lost enough strength to run as quick as he could. His face was covered with bruises, and when he turned his gaze on Dianne, he realized that her mouth was covered with a cloth. Desperately, Demiel crawled toward the poor, young woman. “Stay there, Dianne. I’ll find a way to rescue your sister,” said Demiel despite his condition. Dianne talked about something, yet it wasn’t clear enough to be heard. Her hands and forehead were sweating badly, and thinking what would happen to her older sister in the hands of those men. Finally, Demiel took the cloth from her mouth. He caressed her back, giving her a comfort after everything she have experienced. “Thank you, but we have to save my sister! Her life is in danger, for heaven’s sake!” Dianne shouted. Her heart stopped beating, desperately wanted to follow Dianna. But Demiel stopped her from bringing hers
Dianna woke up inside a bright, solemn room surrounded with different displays and chandelier on the ceiling. She narrowed her eyes, wondering what happened after she was brought into the car. She collapsed because of trauma. As soon as she realized everything that happened, Dianna quickly ran toward the door and tried to open it. However, as expected, it was locked from the outside. The room was guarded with three men, and it would be hard for her to escape. “Damn it! How could I escape from here?” She asked, looking around the entire room. At that moment, she walked closer to a huge bookshelf. Dianna read every book’s title, trying to find any clue behind her abduction. She could tell it was an abduction since they only took her. She was about to pull one of the books when the door suddenly opened. As part of her plan, Dianna quickly went back to the bed and closed her eyes, faking it all. The man entered inside with a tray of food and water. Aside from it, he brought a towel
A romantic music background was playing. All the guests were excited to catch a glimpse of the bride. Since it was a garden-themed wedding, the entire surroundings were filled with colorful and fragrant flowers. There were white-laced fabrics used as decorations as well. For Dianna, it was the best place she could have ever seen in her life. She was standing in front of an arcade, and no one could see her aside from Cielo and the other staff. "And now, here's come our gorgeous bride." By then, Dianna's favorite song played as the curtains were finally split in half. Everyone turned their heads and watched Dianna walking down the aisle. "Wow! She's so perfect, like a goddess!" "Is she Dianna Sy?" "Yes, that's her.""She's beautiful and I can't wait to offer her to be a model." Most of the guests were captivated by the bride's alluring beauty. They wanted her to be a model, an actress, or even a beauty product ambassador. However, it wouldn't happen because Klaud Anderson had e
The sound of an alarm clock echoed around the entire room. Dianna quickly woke up as soon as she heard its ringtone, excited enough to prepare for a very special moment in her life. Before rushing to Kalex's room, Dianna looked at the wall clock and it was real. It was five in the morning. Perfect enough to start moving while the sun rises into the sky. "Good morning, sunshine! I must relax my body today." She mumbled while walking to Kalex's room with a wide smile on her lips. If she wasn't mistaken, it had been a week since she talked to Klaud. To follow the tradition, she somehow contacted his parents to ask questions. By then, as soon as she pushed the door. Kalex smiled at her sweetly and gave her a wedding gift. He said, "Good morning, mommy! Since I don't have enough money yet, I only afford to buy this gift for you. I hope you'll like it." Dianna pouted her lips. Then she walked closer to receive his gift. Her heart was filled with happiness as she watched her son grow i
Blood and screams of dying werewolves echoed around the battlefield. Everyone is desperate to emerge as victors against each other. The ground turned into a bed covered with red, stinky fluid. It seemed like a beautiful, and breathtaking masterpiece of an artist. Klaud, the powerful alpha started to lose his strength. He fought against hundreds of enemies by himself. He almost killed half of their numbers, but he had to finish his mission, alive and well. "You're a worthless leader! How could live in luxury while we are living in vain?" "Kill him!" "Kill him!" All of them wanted to kill the alpha. They were embraced with disdain as if they couldn't accept Klaud as their leader anymore. With all courage and confidence, the enemies attacked the alpha and transformed into their beast forms. They only had one target, but they couldn't defeat him at a single blow. Klaud looked intently into the enemies. He remained focused as he didn't want to be stabbed from behind. "Come!" "If
The real, bloody war has begun. The Alpha initiated to make the first move as he wanted to put an end to this war. If Devon only wanted his power and position, he was willing to give up everything, but it wouldn't guarantee his safety. The only way to end the war was to get rid of the enemy. At that moment, Klaud's move was unexpected, catching Devon and his army off guard. They were not prepared for such a swift attack, and chaos ensued in the spacious hall surrounded by the torches.Despite the initial setback, Devon ordered his men to fight back fiercely. He knew that this battle would determine the fate of their entire species, and he was determined to emerge victorious as the new alpha of the pack. As the fighting raged on, casualties began to mount. The ground was slick with blood and the air was filled with the sound of screams and battle cries.In the midst of all this carnage, the alpha caught a glimpse of his enemy's face after a long time. He had always thought of a powe
Along the way to the woods, Klaud heard a loud tone coming from his phone. He didn't who was calling, but he checked it upon remembering Dianna. Like what he thought, the caller was the love of his life. Without any hint of fear, Klaud answered it. "Hi, Dianna! Why did you call, did you miss me already?" He spoke sweetly as if everything was fine. In the other line, Dianna gasped and cleared her throat. She said, "Where are you? Why am I hearing something noisy? Are you in a bar with Demiel and Aaron again?" Klaud wished it was true. It would be better to hang out with the boys rather than risk his life. He chuckled and tried to lighten up the mood. Talking about something might trigger Dianna, and it wouldn't be a good sign for him. Instead, Klaud lied to her. It was the best thing he could do for her safety. He said, "No, we didn't. I'm in my room, sleeping. But I can't ignore you, that's why I answered the call." At that moment, Dianna felt guilty and sorry for being too i
"No! I don't want to let you sacrifice yourself, Klaud! We need you, especially Dianna and Kalex!" Chris tried to persuade his son. Letting Klaud confront Devon Flamming would only result in casualty, or worse, death. As a father, he didn't want his son to lose everything he cared for. Once his greatest fear took place, it would be impossible to change it at all. However, Klaud was ready to conquer the enemy. No one could stop the enemy from causing so much trouble in their lives. Once he doesn't take immediate action, the enemy might take his son or Dianna. "I'm sorry, father but I am ready to die! If this is the only way to stop Devon, then I will fulfill my responsibilities as an alpha." Klaud replied with bravery. He knew time was running and he must move quickly to avoid any attack. Sooner or later, Devon's men would rampage to their house. "We don't have much time! Hurry up and pack your things, now!" Klaud exclaimed. "Don't worry about Dianna and Kalex. Aaron will take c
The cold wind brushed off to the alpha's bare arms. He was standing straight next to Aaron. Klaud decided to meet him before going back home. He must ensure Dianna and Kalex's safety before he confront his enemy. After a long silence, Aaron started a conversation. He didn't want to waste any second anymore. He said, "What brought you here?" The alpha put his hands into his pocket. He thought about it very carefully and seeing Aaron, he knew he was such a trustworthy person. "I don't know why, but you're the only man whom I can trust everyone I loved. This is not going to be an easy war, that's why I'm making sure there's someone else to replace my place as a friend." Klaud took a deep breath as he shook his head slightly. He trusted Aaron knowing how capable he was of taking his place. But then, Aaron wasn't aware of what was going on. He couldn't understand why it seemed like Klaud was going to somewhere distant. With a hint of confusion on his face, he gasped and tried to kn
Innocent children played happily with their friends and families. It was a beautiful sight for anyone who wanted genuine happiness and peace. Klaud couldn’t take off his eyes from Dianna and Kalex. They were laughing while they tried to figure out about the little bicycle. He made sure everything was all right as he didn’t want anyone to worry about anymore. “Daddy!” “Daddy!” “Come here! Teach us to ride!” Kalex sweet voice echoed around that caught his attention. To hide the truth from them, a warm smile flaunted on his face. No one could tell how scared he was to lose them both. “I’m coming!” Klaud spoke as he quickly stood from the ground. He ran closer to them and held the bicycle firmly. Then he carried Kalex and let him ride with it. “Don’t worry, dad is here.” Klaud spoke as he assured the little man. By then, they were all laughing and enjoyed their first family bonding. Dianna’s smile was priceless as he could never forget about it. Every little thing about her and
After at Cielo’s sophisticated boutique, the couple decided to look for the perfect reception. Klaud wanted the best for their wedding. He asked Dianna about the reception she wanted. “About the reception, what do you want about it?” Dianna smiled. Since she was a kid, she dreamed of a forest themed reception. Where different flowers scattered through out the place with alive butterflies. It was one of the best things she dreamed before. She said, “To be honest, I truly want a forest themed reception with flowers all over the place. Then I want butterflies flying around us.” “All right. Then we will go with that,” said Klaud as he tried to think of a better place as their reception. “By the way, how many people will attend that day?” Dianna asked, thinking it should be maximized to fifty persons only. Klaud said, “Thousands of guests, I guess.” Shocked and confused, Dianna narrowed her eyes. She didn’t want it to be that fancy, but Klaud wanted the other way around. To clear
