DIAN ANGELO POV

My mind was blank, and I couldn't focus on anything. I found myself staring at the laptop in front of me, but I couldn't see what was written on it. The constant ache in my chest intensified every time I thought of Sybil, and I couldn't help but feel guilty about the things I put her through. She didn't deserve any of the accusations I made against her.

Those horrible things I'd said to her, made my skin crawl anytime I thought of them.

If she really got into an accident... I didn't even know how I could forgive or live with myself. If it turned out to be true- God forbid- that she was gone from this world, even if I didn't die, I was a hundred percent sure I would live in regret throughout my life.

The door to my office opened, the sound of it disrupting my thoughts.

Lucas had said he'd get back to me if there was any development, but that was what he said every other day, and the hopelessness of it was starting to sting.

If I ever found Sybil, I was not going to le

    DIAN ANGELO POV The guest were starting to arrive and so were some of the reporters. The hall was immaculate and the decor was amazing, and I was sure Sybil was going to love it. It had been a struggle not to call her when all I wanted to do was to hear her voice as soon as I woke up. My gaze roamed around the audience as Lucas walked toward me, grinning from ear to ear. "This place is amazing man!" He exclaimed, looking around in awe. "You went all out for this wedding, so I'm sure Sybil going to fall harder for you" I grinned. "I hope so. How do I look, do I look good" "Hey, my team took care of you, there is no way for you to look bad after that" he bragged, then glanced around. "I don't see Zach or Kushi around, does that mean Sybil is not here yet? The wedding starts in an hour right" Lucas said, glancing back at me. The thought had crossed my mind, but there was still time so there was no need to panic. "You don't think she's getting cold feet do you?" I asked and Lucas m

    DIAN POVIt was our wedding day and my heart felt like it was going to rip out of my chest with how nervous I was.Sybil and I were finally going to be together, legally and forever, and as I took in the beautiful sunrise and the breeze that blew over the flowers in my garden, I knew it was going to be an awesome day.Turning from the window, I shut the curtains, then proceeded to get ready for my big day.I could hear my other family members that had come to attend the wedding moving around the house, and it brought back nostalgic feelings. It felt really nice to have their support, and that too after years of not keeping in contact with any of them.The door to the bathroom flew open and I whirled to face Lucas who had a wild grin on his face. "My man!" He exclaimed, then pulled me into a hug, before he let go, then proceeded to look me over. "You look good, man""I try" I grinned, then frowned. "But you said you had like a big investigation and wouldn't be able to make it to the w

    SYBIL EAGAN POVWe won the trial and the feeling was surreal.I knew Father had thought he was going to win because he was friends with the judge, and when he hadn't, the look of utter horror on his face had been fucking priceless.Still, winning the trial hadn't been an easy feat but through the cooperation of Mother and her confessions, they were able to arrest the henchman that had killed Kehlani, the doctor that prescribed the wrong drugs to mess with my head, and also uncover documents showing just how far they had gone just to be where they were.They both were proven guilty of murder, attempted murder, abduction, and other numerous crimes that cropped up all through the duration of the trial.Both of them were sentenced to life imprisonment but Mother was given the possibility of parole for confessing and aiding their investigations, but she could only apply after serving thirty years of her sentence. The whole thing left me with mixed emotions, and I was only able to endure be

    SYBIL EAGAN POV A MONTH LATER******"Welcome home" we chorused once Dian stepped into the house, the confetti stick in our hands going off and Popping loudly, making us flinch and then burst out laughing.Dian joined in, his gaze roaming around the room in awe as he took in the decorations. He'd spent weeks recuperating in the hospital until he was fully able to walk on his own and now he was back home, perfectly healed and healthy. His aunt that had traveled to come to see him rushed to hug him, and Dian's eyes widened when he saw her. The hug lasted for some seconds before he let go."Oh my beautiful boy," she said looking him over. "I am so glad you are ok. You look so much better than the picture on the news... I was so worried Dian""I am doing ok Aunty. I am so glad you are here" he said, his eyes filling up, and they hugged again. Kushi and Rohan welcomed him next, then Zach, and then me."We're so happy you're back man, you scared the crap out of us. I really thought you w

    SYBIL EAGAN POVI had thought mother would put up more of a fight, but that didn't seem to be the case, instead, it was father who was fighting tooth and nail to exonerate himself.But I was sure he knew that he was fighting a losing battle especially after the hitman confessed that it was Eagan who paid him to kill Dian.The date for the trial had already been fixed and was going to take place soon. In the meantime, they were being held in detention. They were going to have a hearing in a few hours to determine if they would be granted bail or not, and I hoped to God that they weren't, because I knew if they were released, they'd have more time to scheme their way out of the whole situation and I couldn't have that. But judging from the uproar the clip had caused and the sudden surge of other victims coming forward to accuse them of heinous crimes, I was sure they preferred to stay in detention than out there, facing the angry population. Mother had requested to talk to me and I kn

    ****It was all over. The guards had managed to get Rose out of the hospital back to the house but she knew that it was only a matter of time before the cops came for them. The clip had gone viral despite all her effort to contain it and she was sure that everyone probably hated them, and were already speculating on the list of crimes they might have committed.It was all Eagan's fault. If he'd just done what she'd asked of him, they wouldn't have been in this mess.The bastard he'd sent to kill Dian hadn't even been able to get away and he was already in custody. Rose knew that there was no way he was going to keep his mouth shut, especially once the news spread that they were going to be investigated for a murder case and also the abduction of Sybil because she was sure they would be, soon. And Dian was still fucking alive. Rose dragged my hand through her hair, then inhaled shakily, the air not being quite enough to stave off the feeling of suffocation.The cops would probably st
