Chapter twenty six
Dario looked around for Diane, he wanted her to be present when he announces the merger and also he had a surprise for one he had been planning even before he asked her to accompany him to the merger party.
What is taking her so long, it's just the washroom
His mind wandered to his conversation with Raj when she was out their sight.
"Do you really love her" Raj was skeptical about this.
"I'm falling in love with her" he replied smoothly, wondering why Raj was questioning him about all this.
"What about Caitlin? Have you forgotten about her? "
Dario sucked in a large breath, of course Raj just had to ask about Caitlin. Has he forgotten about Caitlin, that was a capital NO. He would be lying if he said he doesn't think about her or sometimes imagine how life would be if she hadn't died but the biggest truth is he is coming to
Chapter twenty seven"Don't go too far Ruby" she yelled as she watched Ruby skip away "stay next to your brother" she added and sighed when she noticed Dennis standing up to follow her."Dennis is an overprotective brother" Elena said as she watched him running towards Ruby to catch up with her."Tell me about it" she sighed frustratedly "he fights with any kid who messes up with ruby in school, the worst part is most times Ruby is at fault and since she knows Dennis would always step in, she has made it into a regular thing""Shocking how she captured but father and sons heart""Add grandfather to the list. Michael sends her varieties of chocolate goodies every weekend. I'm afraid she might get used to all this and when the contract is over she wouldn't be able to cope without them"Diane paused going over her last sentence, why didn't she ever think about this. This
Chapter twenty eightDiane thought back to her encounter with Morgan days before, she should be happy she confronted him that she left him speechless but she couldn't, she felt something unsettling.Her head was in great tumour, she was trying to come up with something, she was trying to think like Morgan or be like him. Knowing Morgan, she knew this matter was far from being settled or over. Morgan worked in mysterious ways, he has a very complex mind and trying to think like him or be him would result to getting your brain burntBurnt. She perceived a burnt smell, she wasn't wrong her brain was already burnt.She felt someone pull her away from the kitchen counter, snapping her out of her thoughts. The fire alarm hard already gone off, Dario quickly turned on the fire extinguisher, spraying it on the fire as he coughed. When he was done he dropped the fire extinguisher and tried to bring the
Chapter twenty nineDario drove with speed and anger. He didn't know if he should cry or not, he felt stupid and used, why did he ever think that Caitlin was replaceable. Diane is just a lying and conniving bitch.He drove inside Capricino, a night club owned by his brother Theo.What's a better way to soothe a broken heart if not downing yourself in alcohol.Was his apologies not enough for her? Didn't she see how badly she affects him? He thought she loved him but clearly she doesn't.He thought back to what happened minutes back, did he make the right decision? He wanted his friends opinion, he wanted Aaron and Ronnie's help"What were you thinking " Aaron yelled as he took in the drunken state of Dario"I should have stuck with Caitlin" he said with a tone laced in regrets......
Chapter thirtyAaron was pissed, Dario made it seem like Caitlin was a saint but she wasn't."Would you stop saying that....you didn't know Caitlin!" Aaron yelled at him."How do you mean?""She wasn't perfect, she wasn't the saint you paint her to be she..." Aaron didn't want to say more, he knew if Dario finds out about what happened years back he wouldn't forgive Caitlin."You've got to be kidding me" Dario scoffed when Aaron didn't complete his sentence.Aaron lowered his voice as he ran his fingers on his face as a display of frustration. "What I'm trying to say Dario is that you shouldn't have chased her out like that with Ruby. I had to take them in...." Aaron didn't know when the last sentence left his mouth, he didn't want Dario finding out as Diane begged him not to tell Dario."What!!!..." Dario faced him with anger and resentment "why do you like to take everything that belongs me?" He gritted out
Chapter thirty oneThis was the worst mistake of his life, letting his past feelings for Caitlin resurface. He seriously didn't know what clouded his judgement, what possessed him to do what he did_ throwing his wife, kid and unborn child out in the dark.Dario paced back and forth in the hallway, he was pissed at himself, he hated himself. He couldn't believe he was back here almost in same position six years ago."We came as soon as we heard" Ronnie said as he walked up to Dario with his wife Catherine"I can't believe this Dario, I'm so disappointed in you" Catherine chidedDario already felt bad and angry at himself for what he did, doing something without a rational thinking, without hearing her own side of the story. But hearing the words from Catherine's mouth, from someone he considers as the elder sister he never had took a toll on him. He also took notice of their kids absenc
Chapter thirty twoDiane stood in the park watching as Owen chase a butterfly around, she couldn't get the smile off her face as she watched him fall, brush off the dust and continue to chase the butterfly.She touched her stomach for her bump and wonder why someone will leave a cute boy like this in the park without supervision, she couldn't do that to the child growing inside her....the sound of the ice cream truck brought her out of her thoughts and into reality...she decided to get one for him.She took her eyes off him for a minute and before she knew it, he was running in the direction of the river..."Owen!!" She yelled but he giggled as chased the butterfly " Owen don't go there!" She screamed again but her screams fell on deaf ears.She wanted to move but it felt like some unforeseen force was holding her down."Owen!!!" She could feel tears trickling down her cheeks and then he fell inside.He struggled to come

Elena whispered harshlyDario was about to reply but was cut off by Diane"Elena!" She warned"I don't want him here" Elena stated with folded hands"It's not your calling to make" Diane replied quietly."I'm trying to help you here" Elena tried to reason with her as she threw Dario a stink eyes."You're taking it the wrong way and besides I can help myself, I'm not a kid....I'm not Ruby"Elena stared at her friend trying to figure her out, then she moved a glare towards Dario before storming off.Diane sighed softly at Elena's behaviour then she turned her gaze to Dario. She watched how he walked up to her bed with his hands tucked insid
