Chapter Twelve.Ryan's POV Elsie walked in, placing the file that Diana was supposed to submit this morning. "This is the file Elsie was supposed to submit." She dropped it on my desk, and then turned her back wanting to walk away."What about Elsie? Why can't she walk in herself? I haven't seen her this morning either." I questioned her, and she chuckled nervously. I didn't say anything funny, did I?"She hasn't arrived this morning. I tried calling her number, but she didn't pick up either. The last time we saw each other was last night." She answered me.That was so odd. The fact that the two of them were close but didn't bother to check up on her when she ran into that room looking for the documents she was supposed to give to me."Okay then! You can leave."She left the room after I had instructed her to go. I picked up my phone and dialed her number, but it was switched off this time around.Was she avoiding me or something? I didn't even know if she had arrived yesterday. I tr
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
