"Seriously" I said to him"Yeah, What if Ariela N. Cohen and Nichole A. Robert have the same name?" Elliot said but I couldn't process anything in my head so I just signaled him to continue his theory."Ariela N. Cohen, Nichole A. Robert what if the N in Ariela is for Nichole and the A. In Robert is for Ariela" Elliot suggested and I for some reasons felt he could be right"So that means my mum got her name changed when she got married to my dad?" I said to Elliot."Yeah should be" He replied"But why would she change her identity" I asked Elliot hoping he would have an answer"I don't know, only your dad could answer that" Elliot said and I felt a sharp pain hit my heart"Why all this now? Why does this have to happen now? I'm just getting my life's back on track and now all this? All this pain coming all over again? Thinking of a way to find my dad is a whole lotta stress on it's own and now I'm gonna face some harsh realities I'm sure of it" I said in my head"What are you thinking
"You weren't there how could you be so sure that was what happened" I snapped at him"Oh really, what if I was there, what if I was there when it all happened." Elliot said also snapping back"What? What do you mean you were there?" I said calmly thinking about what he said"I wasn't there I'm just trying to make you understand you can't just despise him a lot without finding out for what reasons he was missing" Elliot said trying to be calm but I wasn't calm I was getting enraged"Well you just sound like you were there when it all happened, in fact you seem like you knew the reason why my father went missing in the first place" I snapped at him"What, fuck no. I'm just trying to be reasonable. It's your father we are talking about here, all of a sudden he went missing and later your mum died and then you hate him for not showing up for your mum's burial. Do you know whether he's even alive or not?" Elliot asked and I was grasped by shock and fear because of his statement"Well I gue
"Well, whatever it is, I know you'll sort it out, you always do." Ary said, comforting me."Yeah thanks" I said and smiled a little"So, why don't you freshen up then you come have your dinner" Ary suggested."Am I even hungry?" I asked and smiled a little"Oh yes you are," Ary said and I laughed and headed to my room. I came back to the living room to meet Ary and I ate dinner while we chatted. As we were speaking, I was tempted to ask her whatever she knew about my mum, perhaps she knew about her changed identity.But I didn't so I just let her be. "I'd find out myself" I said in my mind "You know you have to finish that right?" She said pointing to my food that I refused to finish. And I quickly munched everything."I'm heading inside now, I'm tired" I said to Ary"Ok goodnight honey" She said and I went to my room.I laid on my bed and thought about everything that transpired between me and Elliot. "Could he be right?" I asked myself"What if I've made a mistake and my dad is ac
I rushed into the bathroom and took my bath as quickly as I could and since the weather was freezing outside, I finished bathing in a twinkle of an eye. I wore a pair of blue jeans and a pink cardigan. I checked myself in the mirror to check if my outfit was good"Looks nice" I said to myself before finally leaving the room. Without eating I hurried to the living room as fast as I could. I got out, locked the door and headed for the street."Now where do I go?" I said as soon as I was at the junction"This should be the way" I said and head westAmidst the unfamiliar streets, I grappled with the puzzle of reaching my destination without a familiar path. Trusting the whispers of my instincts."This better end well" I said to myself and I embarked on the journey where uncertainty was my companion. Surprisingly, every intuitive turn led me safely to the sought-after endpoint, As if guided by an invisible hand, I not only found my way but arrived safely at the destination"This should be
"Whatever it's not even that dirty okay" Elliot said and stood up lazily"Maybe it's really dirty or not? I don't wanna know, you just have to clean this shit up." I said firmly"Yeah I'm doing it already chill" He said and started cleaning the room up"Good boy" I said and sat on one of his chairs with my legs crossed"Won't you help me?" Elliot asked as he saw me say in his chair"Me? In your dreams" I said laughing and he continued his cleaning"Look at you behaving like a mom" He said but I just kept laughing as he cleaned"So you're really not gonna help me?" He said and stopped halfway through his cleaning"I'm very sure I didn't take anything out of what's on the ground, you did all this so this is your call you clean it up yourself" I said and he finally cleaned up the house and it looked all good again"Now this, is what I call a home" I said looking around the just neatly cleaned apartment"Yeah whatever I'm done now can we get started?" He said and I nodded in agreement and
"Mee?" I said still gasping"Yeah you and you might wanna close that your mouth you might end up being infected" He said laughing all over again"You son of a bitch" I said and threw him a throw pillow and he gasped"Looks like you weren't expecting that" I said smirking looking at his expression"You are so fucked" He said while I just rolled my eyes some seconds later I felt a light hit on my head"Ouch" I cried and looked down to see what hit me and I saw he also threw a throw pillow"You asshole how dare you" I said and picked another throw pillow to throw at him but luckily for him he dodged it"Oh you are so not getting away with this" I said with a lot of determination"You can't do anything to me you're just gonna get your energy wasted" He said"Oh you wish" I said and threw him another while he just dodged and run around the house while I chased after him"I told you, you can't do without me, look at you causing me all around my house" He said laughing"You caused it" I said
"Now you get your answer?" I said as I placed my head on his bare chest "Hmm" He said and I laughed 😂"I can believe this happened while I'm supposed to be at Athens" I said laughing at myself"Well it did," Elliot said, laughing. He placed his hands on my shoulder and rubbed his palm on my bare back"Should we get going now?" I said as I looked up to him. He stared at me for a while before a beautiful smile managed to find its way to his lips before replying"If you want to" I said smiling 🙃"I could remain this way forever but we have a lot to do so let's get going" I said before smiling shyly then I looked away but he cupped my face and gave a light kiss on my forehead before l could"Okay" He said as he stood up from the bed to freshen up. He entered the bathroom right in front of me and I just stared at him a s he walked. He finally entered the bathroom and I thought about all the great moments we shared together then I covered my face due to shyness"Ary must not hear about t
"I remembered saying "was my girlfriend" the lay time, so which means I moved on already" He said before finally leaving the room"Wait, does that mean I'm his girlfriend?" I said in my head happily but I composed myself immediately"Don't think about that now Diana" I said shaking my head"I have a lot to do" I said and finally left the room and went to meet him at the living room"You ready?" He asked"Yeah" I replied"Ok" He said but went back to the kitchen and I wondered what he went to pick again"Pizza" He said raising up the box in his hand and I just ohed "We are going to be needing this. It's going to be a long journey" He said and headed for the door while I followed through. He closed the door to his apartment and we went straight to the car."There you go?" He said as he opened his car door for me to enter"Thanks" I said and smiled before entering the car with the pizza in my hand. And after some seconds he closed the driver's seat and started the car."First we need to
"How can you forgive me?" Ethan said with his face full of regrets"I can't believe this? I know you aren't my daughter but-- but I didn't know you belonged to my brother, I don't know I was doing this to my blood" He said "Oh wow so you knew I wasn't your daughter?" I asked but he did reply"Wow" I said sobbing a little"Please forgive me" he said holding my hands apologizing but I tried to jerk my hand away apologizing"You ruined my life Dad" I said to him"I'm sorry" He said holding back his tears"You killed my mother, your brother's wife, ain't you human too? Huh? How can you end someone's life just like that, ain't you even afraid?" I asked sobbing"I just wish I can correct everything" my dad said bowing his head"You can if you tell us all your plans" Elliot said and my Dad raised up his head and agreed to tell us everything they planned.******"So all you have to do is make her think she's still in control of the game then we'll double cross her" Ethan said explaining his
The office was huge and well decorated.This office is designed to feel like a home, featuring a blend of comfort and functionality. Soft ambient lighting fills the space, creating a cozy atmosphere. Instead of traditional desks, there are spacious, stylish tables scattered around the room, adorned with laptops and personal touches of decorative items. Comfortable chairs and sofas replace typical office furniture, inviting a more relaxed work environment. The walls are decorated with artwork and shelves hold a mix of professional resources and personal mementos. A small kitchenette and coffee station adds to the homely vibe, making the office a welcoming and unconventional workspace. It looked more like a home than an office. I told William about everything that I found out and how I've lived my life ever since I left Athens and he listened carefully as I spoke. "I'm sorry you had to find out about everything like this" William apologized"Yeah, I'm glad it wasn't too late" I said a
As I held the pen, signing the transfer papers that relinquished control of my mother's company, my tear-filled eyes betrayed the deep sorrow within. The weight of the decision imposed upon me felt like an unbearable burden, and each stroke of the pen seemed to etch a painful farewell. With tears streaming down her face, each pen stroke felt like a painful acknowledgement of the sacrifices and tireless efforts that had gone into crafting the business. The weight of familial legacy being passed on unwillingly hung heavy in my heart. With so tears rolling gently I signed the papers with a heavy heart"Finally!!!!" Ary said, laughing so hard, snatching the papers from me. "It's all finally mine after all this years" Ary said laughing triumphantly"See that wasn't so hard?" She said looking at the papers with her"Thanks for this" Ary said and pointed the gun to my dad's head"What are you doing I already signed the papers" I said panicking"Yeah Brit what are you doing" My dad also s
"You killed him already what else could you gain, you killed the man that offended you why not let us live in peace" I shouted at her"This is not only about revenge anymore, this is greediness, you're fucking greedy, jealous that my mother had everything you've ever wished for, jealous she had the love and care that you were denied, you were fucking jealous cause she was happy" I yelled at her and she slapped me really hard on my cheeks and tears fell down from my eyes"You can slap me all you want but that won't change the truth, you are a murderer, a cold blooded murder, Britney Roberts YOU ARE A MURDERER" I shouted at her"ENOUGH" She shouted closing her ears with her palms"Yes I'm a murderer so what, it's nothing new right now I've had enough of your games" She said and went to the table beside her and brought out what looked like a pistol. And my heart skipped a beat at the sight of the gun"You called me a murderer right? Now let me show you how cruel I can be" She said pointi
"Full of rage he destroyed his office feeling betrayed by Marc. But without telling Britney, Ethan made a plan to kidnap you (Diana) so he can blackmail Ariela into signing the company to him. but Ariela,your mother discovered the whole truth before Elliot could carry out his plan. Your mother was pained by Ethan's betrayal so she threatened to go report all his misdeeds and that of Britney at the police station. On hearing this Ethan had to let Britney in on the matter since it was out of his control then she decided to have Ariela killed on her way to the police station to prevent her from exposing her and she staged an accident like she did with your grandparents all with Ethan's help.""But before Ariela died they managed to get her thumb print on the transfer. But unknowingly to them while Ariela was on her way to the police station seeing that her life was in danger she already made an emergency call to her lawyer that if anything should happen to her at all, the properties shou
"No uncle, if you go papa might be mad hug if I go hell surely answer me I'm his angel and mama was his wife so he wouldn't let get suffer so you stay here and take care of my sister and mama till I'm back with the money" Little Britney said to me and I hugged her tightly and sobbed gently"So Ary wasn't bad from the beginning?" I asked Raymond and he looked confused"I mean Britney" I said correcting myself"No, she was a sweet little child." Raymond said and continued talking"Britney did as she said and went to the Cohen mansion to meet with Marc and discuss with him everything happening. Britney was chased out of the mansion by Marc and Amelia like a beggar and she came back to the hospital crying and shattered saying her papa chased her out of his mansion and I couldn't help but pity the little girl.""Britney didn't give up and went back to the mansion the following day to ask her father for help seeing how her mother's health was deteriorating. She met with Amelia Cohen, Amelia
"You won't find anything" A strange voice said and I froze at the spot"Who could it be? I thought Elliot said only Sarah and Britney lived here?" I thought in my head and I turned around to see how it wasIt was a white man around his Sixties he stood wearing a green shirt and a black pants and his hands rested on the long rod in his hands as he stared and I and Elliot "I hope this is good" I said in my head"You know it's wrong to break into someone else's house most especially when the owner is dead right?" The old man said as he walked to a chair and sat down. After sitting down quietly he also signaled us to have a sit. Elliot and I shared a look before finally sitting down quietly on this chair we once stood up from with the old man staring at us"Don't worry I mean no harm,I see you guys are tensed" The old man said an I calmed down a little but I was on the alert"You should be Diana?" He said pointing at me and I was surprised he knew my name"Who could he be?" I wondered st
"Hi my name is Sarah Jordan, This is me and my sister here, Britney say Hi""Hello" Britney said and continued pressing her phone"Well it's just me and my sister here and I'm bored there's nothing else to do I'm just making these video out of boredom""Man what the fuck am I saying I better delete this""Hi it's me again Sarah Jordan I'm sorry I haven't been updating you guys, it's just that I've been going through a lot these days I don't know how to explain. I just found out that my sister is into something really dangerous and I'm trying to talk her out of it but she wouldn't just listen to me. I just hope I'll be able to talk some sense into her""Hi, My life hasn't been really great these days turns out I have a half sister somewhere out there her name is Ariela Cohen and she's the daughter of a billionaire and now my sister is set to destroy their entire family she thinks she's the reason why our mother had died and why our lives is like this. Right now I just hope I'm able to
"What are you doing out here in the cold" Elliot asked giving me his coat"Just thinking about everything" I said and wrapped the coat around my body to calm my freezing body from the snow fall.I couldn't get enough sleep last night, I was thinking about everything that had happened. And it all seemed like a nightfall. I kept rolling up and front but couldn't sleep and as soon as the day breaks, I got out of the car and stood out here in the snowIt felt like I have been living a lie all my life and everything just seemed to be interwoven, I don't know who to trust and when to trust. My life all these years have one way or the other been controlled. I was turned to a video game that can be played anyhow you want and in any direction you desire. It all started with the death of Sarah Jordan and now I'm caught between a web of deceits and facing betrayal from those I once trusted. And now I have no idea about what lies ahead of me and how prepared I am to face it."Let's get back to th
