Chapter 59Ryan's POV.This was the only way I could think of keeping Sophia safe for now. Once she is back to her senses, she will know what to do. "Dad! When are we going back home? What about mom?" Sophia, who was in the back seat, was questioned."Mom is fine. We need to give her space to think things out." I replied, Sophia."Now let's forget and have fun!" I smiled at her as I watched her reaction through the mirror.She doesn't seem happy about what I said, but I hoped she understood me.I called Elena on my journey to my other house. "Hi! How are you doing? How is Diana doing?" She questioned me as I let out a huge sigh."I left the house." I informed her as she gasped so hard. "You left the house? Why would you do that? You know this is the best time that she needs you." "I don't even think she wants me in that house anymore. She's acting so differently, and it's really hard." I explained it to Elena."So you want me to watch over her?" She questioned me."Consider it don
Chapter 60Harper's POV.I was being transferred to the van by the police officer. I think Richardson said he was going to help me escape. I haven't even seen him in the past three days. Was this the way he would get to leave me alone? I heard about what happened to his company, and I also heard that he might go into bankruptcy, but that doesn't mean that he would forget about me completely.That can't be possible.I was taken into the car as I sat down in my comfortable seat. I was happy that the news about me being an attempted suicide didn't make it to the Internet. I guess it was Ryan who made it that way.I wondered why he didn't want it to be in the social media. "You should handle her gently; she is pregnant." One of the female police officer told the police officer who tried to push me into the car."Okay!" The other police replied."No wonder she is feeling remorse. She committed a crime, knowing fully well that the court would get to pity her even if she was guilty of the
Chapter 61Ryan's POV I rushed back to my house."Dad! Why are we going back home? Why are you in a hurry?" My daughter, who was beside me, questioned."I don't know. All I know is that we would have to hurry up home." I informed Sophia as my leg pressed the accelerator increasing the speed of the car.I reached home in no time while I entered the house. The package wasn't at the door entrance anymore. That means she must have picked it up already.I hurriedly entered the house and then saw Elena, who was lurking around."You are back! That was so fast." Elena uttered it immediately when she saw me."What about Diana? Where did she go?" I questioned her in panic."She's fine. She went to her room just now with a package in her hands." Fuck!"Watch over Sophia." I instructed her as I ran up the stairs back to her room.Diana sat on the bed, comfortable, while she kept checking all that I had ordered. There was no sign of remorse in her eyes.I didn't know if things just got worse or b
Chapter 62*Few Days Later*Elena's POV.Kian was taking me to see his parents already, she the date when the wedding would be happening would be picked by them.We were going to having lunch and I was very nervous since I have never done this before.I wore the best outfit that I could find my in wardrobe.I chose a classic, elegant outfit to make a good impression. I wore a tailored, knee-length navy blue dress with a fitted waist and a subtle floral pattern The dress was made of a comfortable, high-quality fabric that draped nicely and accentuated my curves. I paired it with a pair of low-heeled, closed-toe pumps in a neutral beige color that complemented the dress perfectly.I wondered why I have to dres this way just to impress them? It's not like I would end up with a Kian forever. We signed this marriage just to last for a year.Around my neck, I wore a delicate silver chain with a small, elegant pendant - a gift from my Kian. My ears were adorned with simple, understated s
Chapter 63Diana's POV.I held Ryan's hand as we walked down the beach. We decided to come to another state just to clear things up. To help me move on and just to have fun in general."I told my parents we were going to their house this evening already." I informed Ryan as he rubbed his head against his forehead."What? Are you scared that they might scold you?" I chuckled."No! I mean, I barely get in contact with them." His hands went around my body while his soft breath hit my neck. I was sitting in between his legs as we both watched the sunset."That should be on you; you should get to overcome that yourself." I shrugged my arm."Let's get going." He whispered in my ear.We both wanted to stand up, but something fell out of his pocket as I picked it up before he could. He scratched the back of his head like he had gotten into some kind of trouble."Ohh-" I saw that it was the picture of my kids when they were still in my tummy."You still held on to this." I smiled while I stare
Chapter 64Diana's POV."Can I talk with you later?" I texted back at Elena before I slid my phone into my pocket."What are you waiting for?" I questioned Ryan, who was still waiting at the side of the car. My mom opened the door wide for us so we could get in. The both of us walked in with my mom right behind me."What about my sister?" I questioned her, knowing the kind of younger sister I had.They gave birth to her right after they abducted me. "Oh! She went out. She will be back late at night." My mom dropped the bowl she was holding on the nearest stand.My dad walked out of the hallway with his hands in his pocket."Good evening, Dad." I went ahead and gave him a huge."How are you doing? I miss you so much." His hand tapped my back as we both slowly disengaged.He sat on one of the couches, which was in the sitting room."Good evening, dad." Ryan greeted my dad also."How are you doing, son?" My father questioned me with a huge smile on his face.I just want to say that he
Chapter 65.Ryan's POV.*Later in the night*I was just done bathing just after we had a dinner with Diana's family, which was really chaotic.Her sister said a lot of bullshit, all of which was really embarrassing. I don't even want to think about it for now.I entered the bedroom with my robe on, and I saw Diana, who was on the bed with her phone. It looked like she was frustrated about something. She didn't even notice that I entered the room."What is the problem?" I must have interrupted her thoughts with my question."Uhm! I am just trying to find out about something. I need to reach Elena." She mentioned this as she rubbed her hand against her head."What if she is asleep? You should get to talk to her tomorrow." I sat at the edge of the bed."You don't understand." She mentioned it to me.I got a text message, which distracted me."I have seen someone who would be able to manage the company for you, just for a while." Linda informed me."Can you send me his details?" I request
Chapter 66.Ryan's POV.*Few Hours Later"Few hours of pacing around the house, few hours of my stomach grumbling, few hours of me getting anxious, I finally heard the sound of a car at the front of the house.I rushed out of the house, and it happened that she was back. It wasn't just my car she brought along with her. Two cars were also brought to the compound by some guys, and they left immediately after she paid them some cash.I stood at the balcony while I watched what was happening. I walker up to her, as she tried to open the truck of her newly bought car."What do you think you are trying to do?" I questioned her, but she didn't even react like it was a person talking."Good evening Mr.Ryan. Thank you very much for this." I heard her sister saying she she came down from the other car and then held the the shopping bag close to her face.I bet she doesn't know that her sister must have taken my card without telling me."You even decided to buy a car for me! You are so nice."
