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
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
