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."
Epilogue.*FIVE YEARS LATER*Diana settled into the garden bench, watching Ryan chase their rambunctious six-year-olds around the lawn. She couldn't help but smile at his playful antics."Mommy, come play with us!" Alicia begged."Mommy's pregnant, sweetie," Ryan reminded her. "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. She watched as Ryan kept on playing with her kids. Alicia who was the child of Richardson was now a daughter to her.Kian and Elena went on a vacation for the past two years and they were yet to come back.Diana's thoughts returned to the present as Ryan wrapped his arms around her. "You're glowing," he whispered."Pregnancy agrees with me," she replied, smiling.Their love story was one of perseverance. Separated by circumstance, they had held onto memories and letters. Reunited, they cherished every moment.As the sun dipp
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
Chapter 141*TWO DAYS AFTER* Elena's POV.It was just two days after all of these had happened. I was in the shower together with Kian. 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
Chapter 138Kian's POV.My eyes were fixated on the road, as I was really bothered. I didn't know where Diana was taking me, but all I hoped was that I was going to find Elena there. 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
Chapter 137Kian's POV.My eyes opened slowly as I smiled softly after I just had a dream. 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
Chapter 136D-DAYElena's POV.I stared outside the window as Kian drove off to the location where the baby gender reveal would be happening. It was a beach that had a house in it. 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. Kian came down from the car as he then opened the door for me immediately. He assisted me
