"You fucking piece of shit!" I scream, yanking my bag off my shoulders to the floor before lurching towards Diane, the fucking bitch I thought was my fucking bestfriend. I sink my fingernails into her dirty blonde hair and drag on the strands with all my strength, yelling my lungs out.This slimy bitch has been stabbing me in the back all along, getting her pussy digged with my boyfriend's cock while pretending to sympathize with me over the relationship problems between Jason and I.And speaking of that fucking asshole Jason, I am still getting to his case later.Loud cheers and boos from the other students echo throughout the atmosphere of the hallway as Diane and me drag and pull mercilessly at each other."Let me go you crazy bitch!" Diane yells, her hands trying to untangle my tight grip on her hair.Did she just call me a bitch?My brain spikes, and I finally lose it. All of it. My grip on her hair tightens as I pull her backwards with me. With all my fucking strength, I turn around and jam her slutty face to one of the lockers."Take that bitch!" I yell, jamming her face again to the locker.Pain, betrayal and anger rip through me as I continue to bash her head to the locker. To even think that she can do such a despicable thing to me and act all bitchy about it only fuels my rage."Hey Tasha, calm do–"My recognition of that voice hits me like a truck. My eyes twitch, and something that twists my guts forces bile up to my throat.Did that fucking bastard just talk to me?!I throw Diane's head to the locker one last time, allowing her battered face and body to slump to the floor while I snap around to get my pound of flesh from the fucking asshole who I thought was my fucking boyfriend."Tasha why are you acting all shitty about al–"With a yell, I claw my long arrow pointed manicured fingernails at his face, at his neck, branding him a cheater and a fucking manwhore. Blood streams down from his left cheek and neck, dripping to the floor."Crazy bitch!" He yells, clutching his face and neck, his eyes widening like he is staring at a witch. He has never seen this side of me for the past one year, three months, and six days that we have been dating.This side of me only comes out when I need to be a maniac."Tasha Quinn!" Principal Salazar's voice booms throughout the entire hallway, sending the cheering crowd into shock mode. Her jet black heels clank down the hallway floor as she struts towards the chaotic scene, flanked on both sides by two hefty school guards. Principal Salazar is the pure definition of a bull you can't take by the horns. She is tall, slender, light-skinned, has short curt brown hair that is always bobbed, always wears a touch of black in every outfit, and she never smiles.Like she never even chuckles.Many of the students say it is because her husband left her and ran away with another woman. Others say it is because she is sex-starved.I like to believe that is her personality. Fierce. Sophisticated. But also a pain in the ass."Tasha Quinn, are you an animal?!" She rakes, getting closer to me and snapping me around by the arm to face her squarely. "What sort of insolent, barbaric, cannibalistic behavior is this?!"Oh, I forgot to add that Principal Salazar is also an equivalent to the Oxford Advanced Learners' Dictionary.Her thick perfume trails into my nostrils at her close proximity, and I nearly choke on my breath. Her long black overcoat hides the sides of her body con white turtleneck dress. With the way she is glaring at me, she looks like a tiger waiting impatiently to pounce on its prey."Answer me Tasha! Why are you bullying your fellow students when you should be on your way home?!""I didn't bully anyone Principal Salazar!" I tear my arm from her grasp. "I got mad over something really shitty that they did to me and then got into a fight with them!""A very nasty fight." A guy's voice whistles.Principal Salazar snaps her blazing eyes overhead to the direction of the voice. I hear a slight choke in sound. Someone coughs."And what are you all still doing in the school premises?! Don't you all have homes to return to?!" She snaps.Banging lockers, frenzy shuffles and low whispers fill the air as most of the students hurry towards the exit. Diane looks like a dumped sack of potatoes on the floor. The corner of her head is bleeding, but I don't give a fuck."Take the two injured students to the clinic." Principal Salazar orders to the school guard standing by her left.The guard nods. He walks over to Diane and helps her get up from the floor. He winces a bit when he catches sight of the bleeding deep cut on the side of her head. The other guard moves in to help Jason, using his handkerchief to stop the blood flowing from his neck.Principal Salazar grabs me by the arm and turns me to face her."Miss Quinn," she snarls. "You will hear from me tomorrow. But be rest assured that you will be punished accordingly for inflicting injuries on your fellow students. Physical violence of any form is not tolerated in Westville High."She leans closer to my ear. "You are a model student. I thought you knew that."I swallow hard, clenching and unclenching my bloodied fists. She backs away from me and turns on her heels to follow the guards. She is right. I am a model student. A well behaved, straight 'A' student, but not today. Not when I saw Jason thrusting his dick into Diane's cunt like he is holding onto dear life. I lost all my shit and decency, and the 'bad ass' side of me appeared. I acted like a mad beast, but surprisingly, I don't feel any shred of guilt about my actions.In fact, I am not yet satisfied with the cuts and bruises I gave them. I want them to feel something more brutal. I want Jason to feel an equal measure of the dirty shit he did to me.And Diane, that bitch should better watch her back. She may be fucking with Jason now, but she should be prepared when she finds his dick slamming into another girl's cunt. I really feel so fucked up right now that I ever loved her so fucking much.She was my best friend, but now, all I feel is pain and utter resentment towards her. She tossed our entire friendship into the mud, hurting me to the core of my being by fucking with my boyfriend.Why?! Why the fucking why?!Anyway, this is very far from over.Dearest Reader, My heart is full. Writing Diane and Leo’s story has been a beautiful unforgettable adventure, and I hope it brought you as much joy, tension, laughter, and definitely a few buckets of tears as it did to me. Diane and Leo are two characters I will never forget. Their journey from enemies to friends and finally to hardcore soulmates was crafted with the same ups and downs that make real life so beautifully complex. My baby girl Diane, most especially, gripped me by the throat throughout her journey in this book, and I cried several times whenever I found myself digging and exploring deeper and deeper into her mind and who she truly is. Leo King, well, he played with my heart as well. He made me believe he was some rich fucking brat who couldn't care less about anything, only to crash me with the truth of who he really is—a true lover king with so much indepth layers that had me lusting and thirsting for more. Thank you for staying with Diane and Leo through every twi
THREE YEARS LATER DIANE I wake up submerged in paralyzing pleasure that sends shivers sizzling down my spine. Warm lips, a hot tongue, and the unmistakable expert touch of the man I love. My body reacts instantly, stretching beneath him as I surrender to the bliss he is inflicting into every cell in my body. This is Leo’s favorite way of waking me up—and, if I am honest, mine too. I love our morning fun so damn much. “Leo…” I breathe out, my fingers threading through his dark strands, clutching tightly as he teases me, pushing me toward the edge of pleasure with every flick of his tongue, every stroke of his fingers. He knows every spot, every way to pull me apart and put me right back together again. I feel myself melting into the softness of the bed, barely able to keep my eyes open. Leo is there, between my legs, working his magic, his mouth and fingers moving with a determination that is both sweet and very sinful. I tangle my fingers in his hair, holding him to me like he
‘All I do is win.’— All I Do Is Win by DJ Khaled, Ludacris, Rick Ross, Snoop Dogg & T PainFOUR WEEKS LATER DIANEThe entire departmental auditorium is buzzing with energy, filled with students, distinguished professors, and families all seated in anticipation.It is the annual game competition event, and the tension in the air as everyone waits for the announcement of the winners is so thick that a knife can easily slice through it without stress.I am standing beside Crys amongst other competitors, our hands clasped tightly together as we look up at the stage. My heart pounds as I take in the scene before switching my attention to the rest of the audience, searching for the same familiar faces there that are present to cheer me today.My parents. Tasha and Nate. Marissa. Dante. Asher.And the king of all, my Leo King.He is seated beside Marissa, looking so dashing and magnificent in a dark blue tailored suit with a seductive smile added to his smexy appearance. Despite how far ap
LEOI swing the door open and step into Frosty's room.My eyes land on her and Tasha sitting together on the bed. They look so happy, with Frosty's face glowing so bright that the sight tugs at something deep within me, causing warmth and relief to settle right in the center of my chest.“Oh, hey, Leo,” Tasha says, spotting me with the small bag containing Frosty’s medications in my hand. Before I can even respond back, she turns swiftly to Frosty and taps Frosty's lap gently.“I’ll leave you two lovebirds alone," she teases, giving her lap a gentle squeeze before she stands up. “I’ll be back tomorrow morning.”“Wait I'll escort you to—”“Don't worry.” Tasha stops her from getting up from the bed. “Just lie back. Also remember to take your meds, alright?”Frosty nods, giving her a soft smile. “Thanks, Tash. For everything.”“You're welcome darling. Goodnight.”They both hug each other before Tasha moves past me, patting my shoulder on her way out.“Take care of her, Leo.”“I will.” T
DIANEI am alive.It has been a few days since the nightmare with Cole. The police officially informed my family that he is fucking dead.He is gone. And so is my nightmare too.Being back in the familiar warmth of my bedroom is pure heaven. I have never liked hospitals, but my stay there was worth it and wasn't boring for me. Crys and Dante always came to see me, Asher dropped by too with lots of dark chocolates. My parents were already with me the next day after I was brought to the hospital.And Tasha, well, she barged in a few hours after my parents first arrived and literally slept in the hospital with me and Leo throughout my entire stay there.The duration was short though, because I didn't sustain deep injuries and was just kept there for a few checkups and to stabilize my health.Now, I am back home, and thank God that I am propped up in my bed, with a cozy blanket draped over my body. Tasha’s boyfriend, Nate, couldn’t come, but he sent his love, as well as a giant, absurdly
LEOIt is fucking scary how the people we love can be ripped away from us so fast in the blink of an eye.A chilling wind whips through the abandoned warehouse district as I pull up to the location that bastard sent to me. Yesterday's passing has stretched my nerves to their breaking point, and every second I spend away from Frosty feels like an eternity of torture since I got that horrifying call.I step out of the car and close the door, my gaze set firmly on the cold bricked structure in the distance.Gripping the money bag tightly,—one million dollars in cash—I feel the leather biting into my skin. My heart pounds, fear clenching in my chest and making it difficult for me to breathe properly.But I can't let my fear and anxiety show. Not with Frosty’s life on the line. Not with that deranged bastard waiting to kill her if I slip up.Detective Kane stands a few blocks away, spying on the area with his team. I don't need to turn to check if he is in position because I know he alread
