Chapter 45.

Diana's POV.

*LATER IN THE EVENING*

Ryan and I decided to spend a lot of time outside since we barely got to use our space. We reached the house and then realized that she was not at home.

I couldn't wait to break the news for her to see. I wondered how her facial expression was going to be once she could figure out the truth. I bet she would feel so bad that she might want to come up with another plan.

I walked up the stairs so as to just look for her, but she was not in her room.

The nanny walked out of my daughter's room.

"Good evening, Diana." She greeted me immediately when she saw me.

"How are you doing? What about my daughter?"

"She is asleep already."

"Where did she go to?" Ryan realized that she was not at home either. He was right behind me with his hands in his pocket.

"She said she would be going out for a while, and she was going to come in late. She didn't state where she would be going." My nanny answered me.

For some reason, I felt happy about it. Why sho

Ryan closed the door as he replied to her.I opened the door while I stepped out of the car."Have you forgotten that pregnant women are not allowed at work?" I reminded her, as the happy expression on her face came down immediately.I doubt she was not expecting me to tackle that. "Thank you very much for reminding me. I totally forgot about it." She appreciated me even though I knew fully well that she wasn't happy with it."Okay! So can we get to go now?" I told Ryan.He turned back at me while he winked at me as he walked back into the driver's seat. "That's my girl!" He mouthed."I really want to know about what will happen once she gets to know that all her plans will be revealed in one month." I muttered."I can't wait to be free also."

That isn't possible.I called the person who sold the drug to me."Heyy! Good morning. Do you want to buy another drug, miss?" He greeted."This is not the time for you to greet me. You told me once the victim could get to use the drug, he wouldn't get to remember it for the rest of his life again." I shouted at the top of my lungs."You don't have to shout about it! What is the issue?""Are you trying to act like you don't know what I'm talking about? The person to whom I had given this drug will get to know that I used it on him!" I hit my steering, making the sound that diverted a lot of people's attention towards me."Hey hey! Why are you not saying anything? Where the hell did you go?" I shouted at him over the phone, but I didn't get any response from him.he ended the call immediately.Did the drug seller lied to me? I used my entire th

Harper informed me as she walked up the stairs while my phone was still placed to my ears. I was surprised by the news that I just heard. How was that possible?"You said you were not going to tell the world about this. Did you just realize that you broke our deal?" I ended the call as I shouted so I could get Harper's attention."I need to rest. My baby didn't allow me to rest for the past few hours. We could get to discuss anything else we want to discuss later." She shouted as she walked up the stairs refusing to answer my question.This was going to be a huge blow to my company, and it would take a lot of time for me to fix this.I needed Kian's help this instant. I called him immediately, and he picked up."I need your help." I paced around the room, panicking."Yess! I saw the new website just now. I would find out w

I couldn't even sleep, all thanks to the mosquitoes, and the fact that I was scared "Is there anyone here?" I heard Ryan's voice.I was so happy that they came to me. I never imagined they were going to find me this quickly. I heard strange noises in the warehouse, and I thought they might be the ones."Someone help please! Is that you? Ryan." I questioned in order to confirm my thoughtsThey were actually the ones!I've been tied up like this for more than a day already. I was so weak since I haven't had anything either.I looked at Elena as she untied the rope that was used on me."Who did this to you?" She held my cheeks with her two hands. I was too weary to open my mouth and talk to her.It felt like I was going to fall if I could talk. "Can you even walk?" She wrapped her hands around my body as she successfully lifted me up and then turned me around.I saw Ryan, who was there sta

I'm fine now." I assured him as I switched off my hair dryer and then climbed the bed."Can I?" He pointed to the bed, also indicating that he wanted to sleep on it."Sure! Why not? I told you that I am no longer mad." I replied to him.He then climbed the bed and pulled me into his arms. I missed. the way he smells, too."My daughter finally called me dad yesterday." He started talking.I initially thought he was going to bring up a topic relating to what happened this evening, but I'm happy he didn't bring that up. It was kind of satisfying."Woah! I wish I was there." I whined."It was so cute. I cuddled her and then sang her lullaby." He bragged."Oh please! I guess you would start doing that for her since you are good at it too." I informed him as we both chuckled."Yes! So

"Congratulations. You should be happy while it lasts." She mentioned this as she walked out of the room.I wasn't expecting her to be happy, knowing fully well that she might also get to leave the house soon. Elena faced me again; she intertwined her finger with mine as she kept on squealing."I hope it is a baby boy." Her hand touched my belly, and I removed it right away."That was somehow cringeworthy." I squeezed my face in embarrassment."Oh, come on! Why won't you let me touch your belly? Are you shy?" She questioned me as she using her hand to poke my belly.I mean around the room, while she chased after me. "Shy? Oh please!" We both burst into laughter."Have you told him about it? Will you call him to let him know what happened?" Elena questioned me."I guess I would tell him about it wh

    Chapter 52Ryan's POV.We were just coming back from the hospital, and I was way more than happy ever since she told me that she was pregnant yesterday. It was a feeling that I couldn't get to explain.I've always watched it in series, and I really wanted to experience it in real life with the one I really loved. I see husbands following their wives to the hospital for any appointment.I wasn't to be that kind of man, either. The kind of man that would be available for her at all times. That was what she really deserved.I opened the door as I assisted her out of the car."You don't have to do all of these. I am not heavy yet."She rolled her eyes at me, but I don't care. I wanted her to be stress-free."I don't want you to go through any stress or something similar." I rubbed her palm, which was on my hand."Not like you are going to carry me all around the house." She chuckled slightly."Do you want me to do that? I could do it if you want." I tried to carry her, but she screamed bef

"What is the issue? What are you trying to make?" I questioned her as she pointed at the poured whipped cream on the floor."I tried making ice cream! I'm almost done making it! Why did it have to pour? I just wasted my energy." She burst into more tears as she tried to explain what happened to me.I pulled her into a hug. They were just mood swings, and I would need to perform my best as her husband."Okay! We can just make another one. That would not be an issue." I tried assuring her."I'm really tired while trying to make one already. I don't think I would be able to make another one." She sobbed quietly on my chest.This was the iconic mood swing everyone always complained about! Why did I find it very cute instead? or maybe because it hasn't gotten to the stage whereby I would start getting tired?"I

"Let's find a game that doesn't require running."Sophia, their eldest, suggested, "How about we play hide-and-seek? Mommy can count!""Mommy is really tired." Diana replied to her daughter.

    Chapter 143 (FINALE)Elena's POV.My feet tapped on the hallway slowly. I was at the front of the operation room where Kian was bring operated on. This wasn't my intentions, and I was really scared that something bad might get to happen to him at this point.I hoped everything was going to be good at the end. I couldn't afford to lose, I don't think I would ever be myself in that hot to happen. That was why I needed him to stand up!I saw Kian's family coming from the Elevator which was on the hallway.Kian's family gathered around me, their faces etched with worry and accusation. I knew what must be going on in his father's mind right now."How could you let this happen?" Rita snapped at me. Visible anger in her eyes. If anyone had the right to scold me, it shouldn't be someone like her. She was the one who had entertained Clarke and things turned out to be really bad for us. She wasn't a saint. I felt a sting, but remained calm. "I tried to protect him. She had a knife...I couldn

    Chapter 142Elena's POV.Without a doubt, I could easily tell who was responsible for all of these."I am going to deal with her myself. You just have to be calm." I heard Kian saying. I was really calm right now. I didn't want stuff like this to ruin the good moments that the both of us just had together. I was done putting up with her nonsense, and I wasn't going to take any sort of disrespect from her anymore. I was not really surprised by her actions.I could see my reputation getting tarnished right in my face. A lot of brands might not want to work with me, thinking I would be a bad influence on their modeling work.I would make sure I am not the one going down alone. She would go down alongside me, and I have to make sure about that."Do you know where she is right now?" I questioned him. "There is no need for me to find her. Just one call and she would show herself to me. That is how much to show that she is obsessed with me." Kian stated."Ohhhh!" I hit his elbow, teasing h

It was in the morning, and we decided that we were going to take the shower together."What about your dad? You haven't talked with him yet?" I questioned him, and I saw the chang in his mood. I knew what he wanted to say already.I took in a huge sigh. I knew he just have gotten into some sort of fight with his father, but that doesn't mean he shouldn't even get to talk with his father or something."Let's not discuss about that for now. Let's just have fun together." His hand trailed down my chest This time looking at me straight into my eyes, but I was busy looking at his body up and down, using my eyes to survey every ab, and admiring all the muscle he had that seemed to be free of any form of fat. Of course, he was always working out. It had intoxicated me already, making my p*ssy more wet before I knew it; his strong chest was already in fron

    Chapter 140Elena's POV.I think it was time for him to know the truth now. I have kept it hidden from him all these while. I knew he was really going to find it hard to believe, but we could go to the hospital and take a DNA test if he doesn't believe."The child is really yours!" I looked at him as he then looked at me back in the eyes stopping the car abruptly. I know that he must be really shocked."What did you just say? Are you kidding?""You are the real father of my child. How can you believe the story I had told you about the club?" I scoffed with a soft smile on my face."Do you think this is some matter we can joke with? There is nothing funny with this."I said with a straight face but it doesn't look like she was joking. She was really serious with whatever she was saying.I bet he must be so confused right now and I honestly wasn't going to blame him. It was normal for him to get confused. "How did it happen? Does that mean we had sex before? I...I...I... don't understan

    Chapter 139Kian's POV.I saw as my father's face dropped. After hearing the news that I had told him, The least thing that he could do was to shout at me, scold me, and get me off his company.He blinked his eyes several times, and I could see the look in his face, finding it very hard to believe that he got fooled by the both of us. "Are you joking? What the hell are you saying?" He questioned again, trying to confirm if we were not saying trash or sort.He could probably want to take back his shares from me. It wouldn't be a bad thing to have another source of income."Everything you have been showing casing to me all this time is fake." He scoffed, questioning me."Yes!" I replied to him bluntly."Why are you telling me this now? Do you think telling me about this will let me change my mind, and then you can go scot-free?" My father questioned."No! That was not the reason why I told you about it." I answered him, and he then let out another huge sigh."My wife was being threaten

I didn't want anything to happen to her."I shouldn't be telling you this." Diana broke the silence between the both of us. I looked at her, waiting for her to complete her statement."What is it?" I questioned her after I realized that she was not saying anything."Don't worry. You will get to know soon with the way things are going." She looked at me and then accelerated.Was she hiding things from me too? Was Elena hiding another thing from me? Was there something else that I needed to know?We got to a highway, which was really beautiful and quiet. The hills were at the side of the road, and it just looked like a place that Elena was going to like. Diana pulled up at the front of a hotel, which was located along the way.Who would have imagined that something like this was here?"Do you think she will

It was about Elena, and I loved it so much.The dream was about Elena giving birth, and I was right by her side. I held her hand as she pushed the baby. I couldn't wait for me to experience that.I sat up slowly from the bed, and I noticed that she was not on the bed. Where could she have gone this morning?I walked out of the room and then saw the ladies who were in the sitting room. It was decorated already, and I must say that it looked pretty good, just like the way I had expected."Hey! Good morning." Rita greeted me as she tied the ribbon with the balloon. She looked very excited with what she was doing."Good morning." I replied to her and looked around, but I didn't see Elena."What about Elena? Where did she go to?" I questioned them."Isn't she in the room with you? I haven't seen her this morning." My mother replied, and I saw Diana coming out of her room."What is the issue?" She cou

It turned out that you rented it, and it wasn't just for a small amount of money. It was fucking expensive."What is the problem? You look so sad." He stated breaking me from my thoughts. "Sad? Are you kidding? I am just getting too emotional that I would get to see the gender of my child today." I lied. I was still stuck in between making a decision for myself. Ever since what Clarke told me the other day, I just didn't know what to do, and I was stuck trying to make a decision for myself."Alright then. I can't wait to figure out what the gender of your baby is too." He stated, and a smile crept to my face.We got to the place in no time; it was located in Los Angeles, and it wasn't that far from where we stayed.
