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
Chapter 42.Diana's POV."Please, can I speak with you for a second?" Ryan questioned me, as I was still trying to understand what was going on.I never expected this from Harper. I knew something was off with Elsie, but I never imagined that Harper would be the mastermind of all of these in the end.Ryan pulled me to one corner of the room."Please! I don't understand what is going on. I need to fix this and try to find out what this is all about. You just have to give me time, please." He pleaded with me.My hands went to his cheeks."Imagine someone being obsessed with you for the past few years, to the extent that the person wants to kill you by coming into this house and claiming that she has your child. Do you think I would believe that shit?" What does he take me for exactly?"Thank you very much, love." His hands went to my cheeks."What are you going to do in this case?""She would do anything in her power to blackmail me with it. She would let me take up strange decisions t
Chapter 43.Diana's POV.*THE NEXT MORNING*I woke up with the smell of the food hitting my nostrils. It seemed something got burned!I stood up from my bed, and I hurried out of the room. I met Ryan on my way to the kitchen, too."Can you smell that?" He questioned me while I nodded."Yeah! Who do you think it was?" I questioned. "I guess we would have to find out." We both hurried down the stairs, and then went to the kitchen. It was just 7 a.m. in the morning, and we barely ate breakfast this early. We got to the kitchen, and then I saw Harper, who was there standing at the front of the burnt pancake."What the actual fuck!" I muttered under my breath seeing the quantity of pancake that she burnt. What the hell was she trying to do?"You two are here! I'm so sorry for this." She stated nervously."No one is forcing you to cook here. If you cannot cook, you should get to wait until breakfast is ready." Ryan reprimanded her.The expression on her face changed immediately. I bet she
Chapter 44Diana's POV.It was a really stressful day for me. I reached home feeling so tired. I had to meet Elena immediately after I discussed it with Kian.I couldn't come home and meet another crazy bitch who was obsessed with a man! I didn't even want to see her face at all.I walked into the house and was welcomed by my daughter's soft hug. I squatted down to her height and asked, "How are you doing, Sophia?" I patted her head, and she just nodded."Why didn't you tell me that I would be having a younger sister?" She questioned me, making me sigh.The last time I checked I wasn't pregnant. "Who told you that?" Why should I be asking this question. The person who told her about this obviously must be Harper. I wondered what else she told my daughter already."I did! Do you have any problems with it? I figured out that it would be better for her to know earlier." I heard Harper's voice as she walked up the stairs, too."You should go and sleep, darling." I rubbed my daughter's h
Chapter 45.Diana's POV.*LATER IN THE EVENING*Ryan and I decided to spend a lot of time outside since we barely got to use our space. We reached the house and then realized that she was not at home.I couldn't wait to break the news for her to see. I wondered how her facial expression was going to be once she could figure out the truth. I bet she would feel so bad that she might want to come up with another plan.I walked up the stairs so as to just look for her, but she was not in her room.The nanny walked out of my daughter's room. "Good evening, Diana." She greeted me immediately when she saw me."How are you doing? What about my daughter?""She is asleep already." "Where did she go to?" Ryan realized that she was not at home either. He was right behind me with his hands in his pocket."She said she would be going out for a while, and she was going to come in late. She didn't state where she would be going." My nanny answered me.For some reason, I felt happy about it. Why sho
Chapter 46Diana's POV."Why do you want to go with us? You can easily call for a cab. You are breaking our deal by doing this. Others will also get to suspect." Ryan closed the door as he replied to her.I opened the door while I stepped out of the car."Have you forgotten that pregnant women are not allowed at work?" I reminded her, as the happy expression on her face came down immediately.I doubt she was not expecting me to tackle that. "Thank you very much for reminding me. I totally forgot about it." She appreciated me even though I knew fully well that she wasn't happy with it."Okay! So can we get to go now?" I told Ryan.He turned back at me while he winked at me as he walked back into the driver's seat. "That's my girl!" He mouthed."I really want to know about what will happen once she gets to know that all her plans will be revealed in one month." I muttered."I can't wait to be free also." Ryan informed me as he ignited his car and drove off from his compound.He droppe
