Chapter 34Diana's POV."What did you just say?" He questioned me while he looked at me right in the eyes."Sophia is your daughter." I repeated what I said with tears in my eyes.He disengaged the hug, while I saw as the tears flowed down his eyes. I've never seen him crying this way before, it had been a long time I've seen tears falling from his eyes."Why did you keep it from me? Why didn't you tell me sooner!" He held my shoulder so right demanding an explanation from me."You wouldn't understand what happened. It was on the same day you go to divorce me that I figured out I was pregnant for you. How could I let you know about it?" I answered him.I cut my lips while the tears wouldn't stop gushing out of my eyes.He turned back at me, with his hands right on his forehead. One could easily tell that he was pained, and he never expected it."I didn't mean to! I'm sorry." I kept on crying."No! Why should you apologize? I was the one who was at fault." He turned back at me."I misu
Chapter 35Ryan's POV.Both of us alighted from the private jet. It was a long journey.The workers assisted us in carrying our luggage right into the house."Don't worry! You can drop it here." I told one of the workers I wanted to carry my luggage into my room."Mom! You are back!" Sophia ran from the stairs as she gave Diana a hug.She was my daughter all along. And I didn't know about it? That was very painful for me."I told you not to run on the stairs anymore. What if you fell or something?" She rubbed her daughter's hair, questioning her.Our daughter.What right do I have to call her my daughter, though? When they needed me the most, I vanished.I don't think I would be able to do it. It was better if we stayed off like this."Good evening, Mr. Ryan." She greeted me, while I just waved at her."What about Nanny?" Diana questioned Sophia."She is busy washing my clothes upstairs." Sophia answered."Okayyy! Can you do me a favor?" "Sure mom!""Can you go and meet him?" Stay wi
Chapter 36.*The Next Week*Diana's POV.I was preparing to go to work already. It turned out that the designer was already done with the designs, and I would be the one who would be presenting today.Things got better between my daughter and me. To be very honest, I was so happy that she didn't get to hold the anger for that long. Ryan and her were still trying to get used to things. It wouldn't be that easy, but everything is a process."You should get into the car." Ryan told me as he saw me walking out of the house. "You know that isn't possible? Why would I want to get into the car? What do you think people would say if they saw the both of us together?" I refused his request."Are you joking right now? If I am not wrong, I remembered how much you wanted to follow me to work that first day you started living here." He reminded me.He didn't have to do that! "We were fighting then. I didn't care about what they were going to say as long as it wasn't real." I replied him."Okay
Chapter 37Diana's POV.*FEW DAYS LEFT*It was the same routine almost every day now, not until today. I finally got my car back, and I drove off to work.Ryan wouldn't want me to go alone after that text. My security was already doubled, and he even told me he was going to get me a personal office.I made sure he didn't get to do the obvious things that one might get to figure out that we were together. To be honest, I didn't know who we were.Were we still married couples? As far as I could remember, I didn't get to sign that sh*tty paper. I couldn't even move on; how will I bring myself to sign the paper?I was able to tell him about it, though! The paper aside. What did he think we were? Just hanging out or trying to get things back together? Or are we just lovers? Or sex mate? Or married couples?He most likely was at work this morning. I realized that he had been less strict with me these days. I came down from the car and then walked into the company. I noticed all eyes were o
Chapter 38.Elena's POV.I walked into Ryan's company, and I must say it was pretty good. I have never been here before, and I was here to see Diana.I didn't tell her I was coming here, though. I bet she must be so surprised and happy to see me. I brought out my phone and texted her immediately."Where the hell do you stay at your company? I mean, where is your room?" I texted her, and she replied almost immediately. "What the hell are you talking about? Don't tell me you are here." She replied to me."There is one thing I know for sure, and that is that you are not chasing me out." I texted back."Oh, my fucking goodness! I'm coming to meet you right now." She replied to me, and I guess she must be on her way to see me already.I knew how badly she didn't want me to be here, because to her, I must be the crazy friend who might get embarrassed here.I waited for her while.My feet tapped on the floor gently."Heyyy," I heard her say from afar. I looked up to her and saw how she rush
Chapter 39Diana's POV."Kian really wants to marry my friend." I muttered under my breath as I watched Elena drive off.Kian stood there as he watched her car drive off."Do you think your friend would be able to accept him?" I heard Ryan's voice right behind me."Yeah! I do think that she would be able to accept him. You would just have to give them time." I answered Ryan as he took in a deep sigh."Why do you want the both of them together?""This would be the second lady in history he would ever show interest in. I'm afforded that after this, he might give up on his life." Ryan explained."What do you mean by that?" I was confused by the way he had answered me."What I meant was that his family wouldn't give him his right until he got to marry a lady. He had lived without them for the past few years and worked as my bodyguard." Ryan explained it to me.Everything was starting to make sense to me now. I understood the reason why his so-called friend was doing all of these."Okay! S
Chapter 40*Three Months Later*Diana's POV."Oh please! You should get to hurry up with that." I pointed at one of the workers who was still trying to fix the light issue with the hallway."Hey love! You shouldn't get to stress yourself." I heard Ryan's voice right behind me.I turned back, and I saw him standing right behind me. He had this huge smile on his face, that gave me some sort of emotions I couldn't explain.He walked up to me with a table of water in his hands, while he gave me a soft kiss."Thank you very much." I gulped down the entire bottle of water.This reminded of what happened the last time we held an hotel launching.i was with Elaine that day, and she brought a bottle of water for me.Who would have imagined that she was amongst those who wanted me dead badly. I remembered a box filled with dead snake was sent to my home three months ago, with a warning note.Ever since then, I haven't heard anything about the other lady who wanted me dead. God knows where she is
Chapter 41.Diana's POV.A loud applause filled up the room while I was still bothered by the text message sent to me.There was no secret for me to hide; I would have to say the person who was involved in this would show our secrets to the world using a projector.Ryan continued with his speech; my mind was not there at all."You are being called. What are you thinking about?" Harper hit me, bringing me back to reality."What is the issue?" I questioned her."You are being called to the stage." She mentioned it before I looked up and saw that all eyes were on me.I put a smile on my face while I walked up to the stage where Ryan was waiting for me. A loud applause was hard as I walked up to the stage."I told you to rest assured. The security here has been tightened." Ryan whispered to me before he handed over the microphone to me."Good evening, everyone." I greeted them, making all the guests start clapping.I gave my speech about the project.*******I guess nothing was going to h
