Chapter 25
ARIANA'S POVIt was almost an hour gone.We lay low waiting patiently for her to come out,but she didn't.I began to panic seriously.
"Do you think she's alright?"I asked scared.
"I don't think so anymore",Max answered picking his phone.
"What are you doing?!", I yelled.
"Calling the cops of course",he replied.
"Ask them to come undercover and lie low for now. I don't understand what's going on",Rick said.
Max nodded and soon,the cops would be here.
LEENA'S POVI couldn't believe what I just heard. He killed Ariana's mom?It was him all these while,I was yet to come to a perfect understanding of what was happening. The revelation was just too much.I opened my mouth to say something but he signaled me to keep quiet.
"The story is still longer child",he said smiling devilishly at me.
<Chapter 26 LEENA'S POVThe door burst open!Max ran in accomplished by armed men.I didn't know if I was to be relieved or even more anxious."Don't move!",they commanded.I looked at Zuoka,the monster was smiling at me,the gun still pointed to my head.Slowly I turned to Max and shook my head. He'd shot if they moved an inch."Dark.....it's all dark...",he whispered on.Max stopped the men from moving to avoid him shooting me."Desires...dark Desires brings dark death!, and dark death leaves u with Everlasting torture, your soul ruled by unending sorrow and hatred for the life as a mortal", Zuoka kept whispering incoherently.I couldn't make out what he was saying at all,untill I heard the gun shot. I thought I had died. I waited for the pain to come but it didn't.Slowly,I opened my eyes to see Zuoka on the floor,blood stained on h
Chapter 27 RICKS POV As I watched Ariana cry,I couldn't stop myself from being thrilled at the turn out of events.Here I was, standing in front of the one person who had hated me all these years for an accident I wasn't responsible for. Someone who hated me for merely existing.For going to that blueberry forest on that single day.Someone who hated me for being me. It was hard now to finally let go, I've always wanted this to happen but right now,it's turning out to be hard.But I knew I had to let go, what's the use letting her cry? Non of this was her fault, and those dark years we spent as enemies was nearly my fault.If I hadn't gone to the forest that day to hunt,I wouldn't have shot her mom by mistake, even tho she was dead. I moved closer to her taking her hands, sincerely, meaning it. "It's alright Ariana,I'm not hurting anymore", I said a
Chapter 28 ARIANA'S POV It was finally departure time.We had spent the past two days together. Laughing, joking, talking, making plans.And we knew it was the last time. We had to depart seeing how dangerous it was if someone discovered us. Last night,Max had proposed to Leena in front of us. It was the loveliest proposal I ever saw and she agreed had to marry him. They both looked at Rick and I in expectation but we simply shook our heads,'No'. "You both have no plans of being together?", Leena had asked surprised. "No!",Rick and I chorused. I smiled and held Rick's hands. "We've been through a lot together Rick" "And we've been such stack enemies for a very long time,it'll be hard to develop a romantic relationship between us",Rick concluded. I nodded in agreement. "But we both have decided to be the best of friends. Being held together by these in
(Author's POV)...SIX YEARS LATER..."Get back here Ariana!",Leena yelled at her 4 year old daughter.Little Ariana laughed nonchalantly and ran off making her mother go after her laughing too.She was every inch just like her name sake Ariana Williams.Max and Leena had gotten married after two years of being separated from Rick and Ariana.They both lived at a far away town,where Leena was not totally recognized as a musician or super star.Their marriage was what you could call a blessing,with a beautiful daughter.But Leena was never totally happy. She wanted more than anything to get a chance to see Ariana and Rick again.She wanted Ariana to meet her goddaughter who they had named after her.Above all, Leena missed her father.Leena still didn't know her mother's way about and she sincerely didn't want to know. To her,life was better now,at least she could live according to her own will.
PROLOGUE LEENA'S POVMy phone beeped and a text from Maxxy came in. "Come to the blueberry garden"I blushed a little. Maxxy enjoyed spending time with me at that garden but today the weather wasn't pleasant, it looked like it's going to rain soon. So I texted him back. "It's going to rain soon" "Just come, I want to watch the rain with you", he texted back.I smiled, blushing again Maxxy knows just how to make me happy. I quickly got ready and left for the garden.I stood there waiting patiently for him.After about 10mins, there was no sign of maxxy. I got up nervously as the rain began to fall first in small droplets and then the large drops drained my hair.I suddenly caught sight of a man, but I coul
Chapter 1 ARIANA'S POVI tried forcing my eye open,feeling a slight pain at the back of my head. The throbbing headache I felt was being calmed by someone Patting my hair, caressing it softly.It's definitely Dad, no one else could be so close to me right now.I opened my eyes and tried to look at the person on whose laps I was resting. At first I thought I was just seeing things, but when I actually opened my eyes, it was him, it was this bastard!"Rick!!!", I yelled jumping up in anger.What is this murderer doing here?, even caressing me?" You're awake Leena ",he said softly trying to touch me.I beat his hands away in utter anger." How dare you try to touch me?, are you mad?, you fool!, You murderer ",
Chapter 2 LEENA'S POVI stared at Maxxy confused and hurt. Why would he bring up my dad's issue?,he knows how much I miss him,mom killed him....no,I don't want to talk about that now.I turned to Maxxy pissed off."Stop talking trash and take me home Maxwell!""Who is Maxwell?",he asked looking sincerely confused.I dragged him and turned his arm,he didn't have that scar and tatto on the back of his arm. This person isn't Maxxy,but damn he's Maxxy.I mean he really looks like him.Same eyes,same nose,ear,face and damn same lips....those lips that attracted me wholly to him,strong and sensual."Where am I please?" ,I asked the confusion eating me up."Have you suddenly forgotten where you from miss?,Zino village!",he half yelled at me." Zino village?",I repeated again in confusion.Where is Zino village?,
Chapter 3 LEENA'S POV"What do you mean by you don't know your way home?" Rick asked.I'm now used to calling him Rick because he certainly isn't Maxxy,no matter how strickening the resemblance is."I'm serious. Ok,just take me home. Do me this one favor and I won't trouble you again",I said"Are you okay Ariana?,like I should take you home?. Don't you know your way home?""Look,you have to believe me,I'm not Ariana,I'm really not Ariana""Then who are you?a dog?,cow?,goat?",he asked smirking."Yes I'm a dog,cow and goat",I replied and walked closer to him taking his hands."Please,I'm lost here. Just take me home. I want to see my Dad"I could see in his eyes that he softened at my touch. After awhile he agreed to and we both walked 'home'.When we got there,a man was sitting at the veranda. Not just
