Chapter 13.Diana's POV."Table manners while eating. You could choke and die." I warned her sternly making Ryan chuckle. He knew what I was doing, that was the reason why he chuckled.I wondered why he just couldn't shut up his mouth for once. My daughter is very smart, and she might get to know who her real father was. I knew she was confused, and it was time for her to start asking a lot of questions that I was not ready to answer. That was the only thing that could keep her shut for now.Ryan left the dining table after he had caused me a lot of trouble this night. I was still pained by what he did to me yesterday. I didn't even want to think about it anymore.He was the one who made me trek so far, and I have injuries on my toes now."You forgot this." I heard his voice as he walked up the stairs. Hr walked back to the dining table, with my bags right in his hNds. "Oh! Where did you get that from?""I went to the hotel, and someone asked about you. I collected your bag from one
Chapter 14.Diana's POV."Are you sure I was summoned? Do you know the reason why I am being summoned? How many people are in there? Are you going inside with me?" I questioned Linda as she led me to the conference room, but she wasn't replying me.With the look of things, I could easily tell that things weren't going to be good. "Why are you not saying anything?" She stopped walking making my body to collide into hers, and then I shifted back immediately. "Why did you stop? I didn't mean to let me body hit yours." I apologized to her. She looked at me with the always stern look on her face, while I shrugged my arm."How about you just go in, and then try to figure out everything out yourself. You should stop bothering me with a lot of questions." She complained in frustration.I didn't bother to ask her any questions anymore. We reached the front of the room the shareholders meeting was happening."You should go in now." She instructed me. I took in a huge sigh summoning all the co
Chapter 15.Diana's POV.I paced around my office while I thought of a way for me to get to the root of all these problems. Where will I even start from in order for me to be able to catch the killer?"Are you just going to keep pacing around? You need to leave here and do something. Do you think just moving around will help you find the person who planned all of this?" Elsie questioned me while she scoffed."Oh! Please. I am finding a way for me to catch the person who planned all of this. When do you start interfering with my personal problems?" I turned back at her."We all heard about what happened right in the shareholder meeting, and they have you three days for you to find the person who did this." Elsie added."This must be what the person wants." I muttered under her breath, but it seemed like she heard what I just said."Who are you talking about here?" She questioned looking at me right in my eyes."I am talking about the person who planned all of this? The person must be t
Chapter 16.Diana's POV."What do you mean by that? We made a deal. Do you want to stop her from leaving?" I stood there while I wondered what Ryan meant by saying I couldn't leave yet.The shareholders were obviously pissed off, and it seemed they wanted me out of the company badly."Do you want go back on what we agreed? We would love it if you don't get to do that." One of the shareholders added.Ryan's hand reached for his pocket and then dropped a flashdrive right on the desk. A person who was standing right by his side took the flash drive and connected it to the projector.A video was shown along the road with the truck that brought the fake painting. It turned out that that truck was hijacked, and we didn't know about it.The driver was changed, and he acted like he was going to pick something up. They used that opportunity to exchange the art pieces."How are we sure that she was not the one responsible for this?" One of the shareholders questioned.I looked at Ryan as his ey
Chapter 17Ryan's POVI knew that she couldn't possibly find evidence that would prove herself right. I had to contact other people right in the company.The Person who must have framed her knew that this would happen, she would dj everything to destroy the evidence.The evidence came in this morning, and I submitted it. I was expecting her to be grateful, but it was the opposite. She still looked a little bit cute whenever she got angry. I sighed after she walked out of the shareholder room, looking all angry.She had to be very careful now since the person who did this to her is still out there and might get to do anything bad to her. The same person must be someone who was close with her.I got a call from Sophia's nanny. She was panicking over the phone."What is the issue?" I questioned her when I noticed that she wasn't saying anything. The only thing I could hear was her sniffing badly."Talk now. I have a lot of things to do at work." I spoke slowly, and then she started spea
Chapter 18. Diana's POV.She had the same allergy as her father. "With the few tests we ran also, we got to discover that it was hereditary." The doctor informed me."Yes! Her grandfather had the same allergy." I told the doctor, and he smiled. I didn't know why I had to mention it. I just said it so Ryan wouldn't get to suspect anything later in the future. "We will get back to you. She needs to rest for now." The doctor told me, and then he walked off out of my sight.I walked to sit on one of the seats that was along the hallway. "Aren't you going back to work?" I questioned him as he stood on the other side while he operated on his phone."I am waiting for your daughter to recover in case she needs anything." He answered me. That's so sweet of him. Performing his fatherly responsibilities even without knowing she was his daughter."Oh! Thank you very much. I know you are doing this for my daughter, but at least you are still making things very easy for me." I appreciated him
Chapter 19.Diana's POV."Are you joking right now?" She mimicked the same voice, just like mine. That was the way I do talk, and one would call that a talent but it was really cringe."How can you do that?" I sputtered with my mouth in awe, wondering how she got to pull that off without any problem."I've been studying you for the last 8 years, and I know every single thing about you. I know the way you act and even what your next actions are going to be." She dropped the pen on my desk and then went to sit right on her seat.She studied me for the past eight years. She's obsessed with me? No wonder she had the same tattoo as mine; they were not coincidences all along."Why are you doing all of this? Because of a guy?" I questioned her, and she scoffed."Stop speaking about him that way. That guy was the one who made you this way? That guy was the one you loved dearly. He was the father of your child, too. Did you really cheat on him?" She questioned me, making me scoff."What the he
Chapter 20Diana's POV.I watched as she to the floor with her eyes wide opened. The blood flow down from her neck right unto the floor. She was soaked in the pool of her own blood!I rushed to her not minding her blood staining my clothes."You didn't have to do this, Elsie." My hands were filled with her blood, while I kept on crying on seeing how she was. Ryan rushed to me and used his hand to cover my eyes, leading me out of the room. She just took her life that way without even thinking twice! My chest hurts thinking about it alone. She died because of me. Maybe if I hadn't shown up that evening, she wouldn't have taken her life."You need to calm down. Stay here and calm down." Ryan informed me, while I was shaking in fear.Those wide opened eyes appeared in my head! No no no!******Everything had been taken care of, and Elsie was sent to the morgue. The police officers were there, and they were also witnesses to what happened. My eyes were glued to the road while I thought
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
