A grotesque look appeared on Stephanie's face as she gently lowered her hand and blood trickled through her hair and down her beautiful face.Diana hurriedly untied Lilian who was still in shock but grateful as they both ran towards the door.However,it was locked.Shit.Diana raced towards Stephanie who was groaning and rolling in pains on the floor.She searched for the keys in her pants and retrieved them.She trembled in fear as she tried to get the correct key.Each time the key turned out to be the wrong one,their heart beat would increase.They both knew that if Stephanie happens to stand on her feet,they would be done for.None of them thought of retrieving the gun from Stephanie's hands and that was their greatest mistake.Fortunately,the door opened on the insertion of the last key.Diana didn't see Stephanie sit up with her face filled with blood.However,Lilian saw.Stephanie unconsciously pointed the gun aimed at no one in particular but Lilian saw that the gun was aimed a
Terrified,Diana didn't know where she was but she could recognize the remote and silent street.She didn't know whether to go left or right.After much decision,she took left and began her lonely journey on the silent and dark street.Tears flowed from her eyes.Stephanie had stuck to her word.She really murdered Lilian! Diana increased her pace,hoping she was going on the right track.Only her body ached,and her hands might never be the same again.Still,she couldn't stop wondering how Stephanie had managed to deceive them all.She must tell this to Edward! However,would he even believe her?Even now,she didn't think she'd ever be able to cancel this deal anymore.She was stuck and the only way out would be to save herself and maybe her unborn child.Diana guessed that Stephanie was doing this only to get revenge.After all,Edward killed her child.What Diana couldn't understand is her own business with this drama.She wasn't the one who forced her child to be killed.Hell,if not for
Edward knew just what to get Hailey distracted.Their car was parked several meters away,not easily noticeable.Edward picked up his phone and called one of his mother's friends who lives around here too.He also guessed she must have been the one to find them a nice house to live in.The instant the latter found out that Hailey was out and in the market she rushed from her house and within minutes,she arrived at the small grocery store.Hailey,upon seeing her friend,and not having the opportunity to thank her for her help,sat down to coffee and toast.They talked about everything and anything."You know what to do" Edward said authoritatively as he handed an ear phone to the driver.The driver nodded and stepped out of the car.He wasn't necessarily dressed up as a chaffuer because Edward had told him not to.Also,Edward has numerous cars and different drivers so Hailey failed to recognize him the moment he stepped up to her."Hello there,ladies." the chaffuer gave a warm smile "It's
Her bruise was getting worse.Maybe because she had done more than enough in hiding it from Hailey Collins.She also decided to apologize to Hailey once she's back.She knew she had acted so weird around her.Few minutes after Diana made sure she'd left,she pulled off the turtle necked gown and wore an armless navy blue gown.She changed the bandage on her wrist after that.It was worse and she needed to see a doctor immediately but Diana didn't want to go out.She doesn't even want anyone to see her.Most of all she wasn't ready to face Edward just yet.Finally accepting to give herself to him still felt like the most huge step she would ever take in her life.So seeing him now wouldn't help.She seemed to have forgotten about Diego Louis.He isn't something she should worry deeply about.However,she still needed to know the truth so someday she might as well meet him and understand things better.After dressing the wound again,she fell asleep for only a few minutes.She hadn't had enou
The entrance machine began to beep just then.Diana hurriedly hid the novel somewhere in between her luggage.The beeping became persistent as she hurried down the stairs.She completely forgot to change her dress back."Hold on,mom.I am coming!" she shouted by the time the beeping became even more persistent.She checked the machine and it showed Hailey's details.She pressed the button and the door below pulled open.Only then did she remember the short and open gown she had on.Because of this,she didn't wait to see who it was.She immediately began to climb the stairs.Edward Collins stepped into the small house.His gaze quickly landed on the slender figure of Diana.He narrowed his eyes and stepped in further,the sole of his shoe making a different kind of noise on the tiled floor.Diana stopped halfway through the stairs.It felt weird.Hailey entered and hasn't said a word to her yet.Considering the period Diana has spent with her she knew that Hailey would always make a comment
Diana thought she was dreaming..She instantly wished the ground would open up and swallow her just then.Edward ignored the blatant surprise on her face as he made his way to the small couch in the middle of the room.Diana was too shocked to move.Edward lit a cigarette with a non chalant look on his face."Don't you know better than to go against me?" he spoke calmly and then stared up at her "I thought you were different from the rest of them,but you're just as worthless and shameless"Diana found her voice."I don't care what you think of me Edward." although she was bold,her voice still broke "Whereas you think so ill of me I also think you're a disgusting man and the mere sight of you makes me sick to my stomach!"Edward curved his fist.He didn't expect her words to have this much effect.Besides,when did he start caring about what people think about him?As for Diana she didn't think she was any far from the truth.Considering the dirty video she had watched and the inhumane act
Jamie sold the last cake for the day.It was just five in the evening and it was snowing lightly outside.She didn't usually close this early.Mostly because she was running.Running away from the instant talks about Jake from Mrs Bryan.Jamie only began to sell cakes for little dollars so she could leave the house and have peace of mind for a few hours.She had given up on Jake.And if she has the opportunity she would even go as far as divorcing him.She shouldn't have forced herself on him.But she tried to encourage herself.It wasn't too late.This was why she also started this small business.To secure the future of her child.Who knows,Jake might come back anytime soon and request a divorce which she would gladly accept.She wants nothing more than just a peaceful life.She felt a bit nauseated and her body ached everywhere.Since that morning she couldn't understand why she feels that way.Tomorrow, she'd go for a check up and see if her baby is fine.However,as she closed the litt
"Never!" replied Diana.Edward's grip on her arm tightened and even though it hurt and caused her bruised wrist to bleed,she didn't show that she was in pain."Edward what's going on?!" Hailey immediately ran towards them.On seeing Stephanie's bandaged wrist bleeding,she pulled her away from Edward's tight grip causing his nails to scratch through her arm.His imprints rested boldly on her left arm."Welcome,mother" Edward said calmly as he straightened his shirt that Diana had roughened."Join the party." he said shortly.Hailey was confused.Edward picked the certificate from the floor and gave it to her.Reading halfway, Hailey's face lit up.She exhaled deeply."Oh Edward!" she cried out "This is..great news!!"She held him "I thought you had come to the court to divorce her!""No,mother.She is stuck to me forever." he said with slight hint of anger "Now you tell her to sign those papers."Hailey's eyes went to Diana's direction.Then she turned to the lawyer who was still standin
