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
"You came home without Jamie??" Mrs Bryan looked alarmed.Jake turned back,even he felt tired"She wouldn't let me bring her.""Of course she wouldn't!" Mrs Bryan began to shout "You ditched her Jake! And never for once in the few weeks you have been away did you pick up your phone to call and ask after your child!""Mother I'm trying my best to set things straight but clearly,Jamie doesn't want it." replied Jake with stretched out arms."Of course she wouldn't!" Mrs Bryan said again "You haven't tried harder.Dont just expect her to give into you quickly."Jake stared at his foster mother.He had told her not to let Jamie know he was out looking for Diana."It's all your fault,mother" Jake said calmly as he poured himself a glass of wine "I have told you that I can never love Jamie but you constantly insisted we must be together!""That's a lie,Jake.You do love Jamie it's just that you don't realize it because Diana is still in the picture." Mrs Bryan exhaled "All I'm asking is for you
Edward sat in the living room waiting for Diana to make her entry.He was like the calm before the storm and even Hailey couldn't help but eat her food in a ridiculous silence.Edward checked his watch constantly.It was nine on dot and she wasn't back yet.He stood up and called his technician."Find my wife's location now." he paused and added sternly "And I mean now""Geez,okay" the voice replied on the other end."Edward."He turned towards his mother,his striking features set apart under the dancing lights of the chandelier."There's something you don't know." Hailey began.Edward raised his brows as he stepped over to the dinning area."The night before Stephanie left the house in the middle of the night.I don't know where she went." Hailey had decided to tell him this so he wouldn't find out from the mouth of gossipers.That would make things worst.Even now,she had managed to contain her curiosity and fear that Stephanie must have been abducted again."I found her room door aja
He dropped her gently on the back seat of his Rolls Royce.However,as he was about to straighten up she grabbed his collars and brought him in between her legs.Edward's eyes widened in surprise."You want everything right?" Diana was saying "Why don't you take it now?"Edward stared down at her,his hands by her side."Did he touch you?" his deep voice asked.Diana pursed her lips."Why? Is my husband jealous?" she returned as she winked at a stick faced Edward.He didn't find it funny at all.The sight of Diego's chest out in the open and her ridiculously short dress told him otherwise."Well you shouldn't be." Diana said absentmindedly "You forced me to marry you so don't expect only me to suffer the consequence"Edward curved his brows.Diana smiled at him and subconsciously licked her lips.Edward groaned,his emarald eyes blazing in the dark."Don't do that"Diana's baby blue eyes mocked him as she dared him again and licked her lips.This time more slowly,aggravating his demons.E
