Chapter fourteen
Chapter fifteen
Dario rolled in his bed with his hands massaging his temples.
"What the hell?" He muttered under his breath trying to ease the banging in his head.He rolled off his bed and untangled the sheets that covered him with his right hand still massaging his right temple. He noticed he was still on his cloths from the previous day. He groaned loudly as he remembered last night.... scattering the party, shouting at Diane, shouting at Dennis, Aaron punching him...What happened after that he couldn't remember....he tried pushing in bit nothing came.
"Fuck me!"
He stood up heading to the bathroom when his eyes caught sight of the glass of water and the packet of Advil resting on his bedside table. He knew none of his workers ever goes into his room, no one had ever brought him Advil for his hangovers. He knew Diane left it there for him. He felt guilty for treating her
Hey guys, I hope you're enjoying the book 😊
Chapter fifteenDario sat in his study beating himself up for his useless attempt at apologising whilst anticipating the play date with Ruby. What in God's name does a play date entails. "Why do I have to be such a jerk? I mean what's so hard in saying I'm sorry." He muttered under his breath as he ran his fingers through his hair.A knock brought his attention to the door."Come in." He answered staring at the door to see who it was.Diane walked in with Charlotte behind her, carrying a tray of food. She wanted to surprise....or maybe get something from him and the only way to a man's heart is through food.Dario stared at her in surprise wondering what she was up to, she had clearly stated just few minutes ago that she would not serve him breakfast and now she......"Hey Dario, ummh, I brought you breakfast as you requested." She bit
The annoying sound of her phone ringing woke her up. She rolled on her bed trying her best to ignore the call but her ringtone little mix_ 'woman like me' kept on repeating itself. She groaned loud enough to wake a sleeping lion. With closed eyes she picked the call."Yeah," she didn't even check the caller's ID."Hey Diane,"When she heard Elena's voice through the phone, she sat up her eyes clear of sleep. She hadn't heard from her in a while and she was dying to know the whole details of the honeymoon not the smooching part or any personal details. She wanted a PG 13 gist."Lena?! Gosh it's been long." She replied grinning from ear to ear."Yeah it's been a long time." Her voice sounded down. "Can we meet up and have some ice creams, nuts and pop corn?""Are you in town? When did you arrive?" Shock was evident in her face. She thought Lena was still in Paris with Jason
Chapter seventeenJason betrayal was like a hard blow to her. She couldn't believe he actually asked Elena for a divorce after two weeks of marriage. She thought they were madly in love, she remembered clearly how she always dreamt about having a relationship like theirs.The creaking sound of the door brought her back to reality, her room."Momma," Ruby called peaking her pigtail hair inside the room."What are you doing here baby? Where's your brother?" She asked with her arms stretched out waiting for a hug.Ruby crossed the room and went straight into her mom's arms."Denny is playing with Gaby and Denny says I'm too little to play with them." She replied and pulled her rag doll to her tightly.Diane sighed. Of course Denny wouldn't want her to get injured playing with him and Gaby."Daddy wants to see you.""Daddy
Chapter eighteen"Who are you?"Gently and stealthily she searched for Dario for strength but he was nowhere to be found then she resorted to her cloth, gathering folds in her palms."Theo, would you stop with the whole charade, you're getting the poor girl nervous." Catherine cautioned and rolled her eyes."You just have to spoil my fun Cat." Theo replied with a pout and then turned to Diane. "I'm Theo, the smart, sexy and most handsome one in the family." He said with his hand stretched out and she shook it."Uncle Theo, I thought you said I was the most handsome one in the family?" Cameron said out of nowhere."And where did you come from?" Theo asked trying to sidetrack Cameron question."Uncle Theo," Cameron dragged. He knew his uncle too well, he was trying to sidetrack his question."Yes you are but I'm still the smart and sexy
"Ruby, Dennis! You're gonna be late." Diane shouted from the kitchen as she prepared peanut butter and jelly sandwich and ham sandwich for them."Coming Mama," Dennis replied as he walked into the kitchen with Ruby trailing behind him."Here your lunch." She handed the peanut butter and jelly sandwich with an apple juice to Ruby and the ham sandwich with an orange juice to Dennis. "C'mon we have to get going, the school bell is going to go off very soon."She hurriedly walked outside to see Daniel holding the door open for her and the kids. That was exactly a good time for Ruby and Dennis morning competition as they ran to the car, of course with Ruby as the winner, always."Thanks Daniel. When did you return?""Good morning ma'am. Last night." He greeted with a large smile."It's Diane." She corrected. "So how was the surgery?""It was successful and she's getting better." Daniel replied.Daniel had been the first
Chapter twenty Previously She raised her head up to check if Jason was still around the coffeehouse through the glass when she saw someone she didn't expect to see.... someone she thought she had locked away for the past three years "Morgan" she muttered the name for the first time in three years as colour drained from her face. _________________________________ Dario walked up to Diane who sat with a pale face. "You know if you wanted to have a fight with your BOYFRIEND you can always do that in a private place." He said startling her. "D- Dario." She called with wide eyes. "The one and only." He gritted out. He was damn pissed but why he was pissed still remai
Chapter twenty oneIt's been five days since that day, five days since she met and had the talk with Jason, five days since he confessed his undying love for her, five days since he left... since he walked out of her life, five days since she saw Morgan....and five days since she last spoke to Dario.She had only caught a glimpse of Dario since that day at the coffeehouse and that was when he came back from work, he just walked passed her like she was invisible. He made sure to never come down for dinner, Charlotte was always serving him dinner in his room and when it was time for work, he left as early as possible.He had time for Ruby because she always went to his room at night. Surprisingly, Dennis went along once and he couldn't stop talking about the huge fun they had, how they watched power rangers with Dario and how the played house. Hearing all this she wanted to meet the new Dario, she wanted to know if he was possessed or
Chapter twenty twoDiane's auburn hair was sprawled out on the bed, her caramel skin looked inviting to Dario and he couldn't help but remember their moment together. The blanket draped loosely on her, exposing her long slender legs. Her soft snores filled the room, he didn't want to leave this position at all. He felt like a teen in love for the first time.I love you.Did he mean it? He didn't even know when it slipped out of his mind...is this what Aaron meant by what he said. He stared at her soft auburn hair and felt an urge to run his fingers through it.Would she regret it? Would she regret their intimacy?He found himself steering away from the bed. He pulled up his sweat pants gave her a long stare, he wanted to lay all day with her, caress her, kiss her, make love to her, become familiar with every inch of her body but he couldn't stay back.
