Diane stood in front of her mirror, carefully pulling off her earrings. They had gotten home about twenty minutes ago and she finally had some time to herself. She moved towards her bed and slowly sunk into it, sighing.Her life sucked.At least that’s what she felt. Her father was dead. She was in love with a man who was still so attached to his girlfriend. And tomorrow, she had to go to her company where all the men there looked at her like she was some form of imposter or something.Supporting her elbow with her knee, she placed her head into her palms. The image of Ashley and Nicholas kissing flashed through her head once again and she nearly cried out in anger and bitterness. ‘What is wrong with me?!’ she yelled to herself. ‘Why do I have to keep putting myself in this position?!’She hated this. She hated that all Nicholas had to do was say the word sorry and kiss her and she would immediately forgive him. She hated tha

FORTY TWO
Diane bounced down the stairs, a light grin on her face. Her hair was packed into a ponytail and she wore a blue shirt and a small top. She and Nicholas had chosen Friday night, which was yesterday, to go for their date. And it was awesome. Nicholas was so nice and gentle and all prince-charming. He kept doting on her, asking her what she wanted, what she liked and she enjoyed the way he treated her. He was a perfect gentleman all through.The only problem was that there was someone in the restaurant who really creeped her out. A weird person, whose gender she wasn’t able to figure out. The person had a baseball hat over their head and wore a pair of sunglasses, which was just ridiculous. Diane could see the person taking notes and sometimes even raising up his or her phone in a very suspicious manner. It looked like the person wanted to take pictures. She had wanted to bring it to Nicholas' notice but she concluded that maybe she was just paranoid.Anyway, that

Then, Jenny said, “Well, that was one good show,” as she slowly lowered herself to the couch.Nicholas was rooted to a spot, his gaze on the door. He had a hazy and dazed look on his face; his hands were trembling. He couldn’t move. He stood there, staring at the door.Malvika and Natasha exchanged glances. Natasha breathed out. “Malvika, upstairs. Now,” she said under her breath, turning and climbing up the stairs.Malvika frowned but followed her. Together, they left the living room, climbed the stairs and walked into Natasha’s room, closing the door behind them.Natasha folded her arms, standing akimbo, tapping her foot on the ground and staring at Malvika. “You had something to do with this, right?”Malvika raised a brow, feigning in

“What is this bitch doing here?” Jenny growled angrily, whirling around to glare at Jayden who had a panicked look on his face as he darted glances from Diane to Jenny.“I'm sorry, I didn’t know Jayden had a visitor,” Diane said smoothly.“No, no, no,” Jayden cut in. “I don’t have a visitor. She’s just leaving.”“What?!” Jenny exclaimed, an incredulous look on her face.“Come here,” Jayden whispered urgently to her, grabbing her by her elbow and pulling her outside. “Let’s talk,” he said as he opened the door, went outside while still holding Jenny, and shut the door. “I told you to leave.”“I’m not leaving until you tell me what she’s doing here,” Jenny snapped, jerking her hands away from his grip.Jayden ran his hands through his hair in frustration. “Jenny, I think we need to end whatever i

Jenny stormed all the way up the stairs, straight into Ashley’s room. Aggressively, she turned the knob and pushed it open. As she stepped in, she slammed the door close with a loud bang that made Ashley jerk up in fright.“Hey!” Ashley chided. “What’s that?!”“Oh my God!” Jenny growled. “Oh God! I want to kill someone right now! I desperately want to kill someone right now!” She growled angrily.Ashley scrambled back, frightened by Jenny. “What? What happened?”“It’s Diane for fuck sake! Just when I thought I’m done with her forever, she turns around and still causes more problem for me!” Jenny screamed. She flung her hand forward, picked the empty vase on the table and threw it at the door. The vase made a loud noise as it shattered to pieces before it could even touch the floor.“Jenny!” Ashley screamed as she scrambled around on the bed.

Her conscience kept pricking her and she felt like a heavy weight had been placed on her shoulder.In as much as she tried convincing herself that whatever she did was for Diane’s good, she couldn’t help but feel like she had a hand in breaking Diane’s heart. ‘It’s for her own good,' she whispered to herself. ‘Nicholas would never treat her right.’ Despite trying to assure herself that what she did was right, she couldn’t shake the feeling that maybe Natasha was right; maybe she should never have been involved in this.Malvika slowly relaxed into her bed and sighed. This was all over right? Diane will divorce Nicholas a

FORTY SEVEN
Diane walked into the company, smartly dressed in a long black skirt that had a slit at the side, a black shirt tucked into the skirt and a black suit to top it off. She held her bag and walked towards the elevator, her heels making a click-clack sound on the floor.Although she was uncomfortable, she ignored the stares that her workers were giving her. While some mumbled greetings to her, some basically just stared rudely at her till she got into the elevator.She waited for a while as the elevator jerked and moved slowly. Then, it stopped and slid open. Diane stepped out.“Good morning ma,” Her personal assistant greeted, rising up from her desk. Diane grunted in reply, walking towards her office. Her personal assistant shot towards her, obstructing her path. “Ma, I don’t….I…I…don’t think you should go in yet.”Diane stared at her like she had grown two heads. “What? Why shouldn’t I go

“Are you ready?” Jayden asked as he drove towards The Langston’s house. It was evening and Diane had called him that she was ready to go and pick up her stuff. He had left his place of work to pick her in her office.He found a proper place to park and turned to look at Diane who was staring outside through the window with her hands folded on her thighs. She had this far away look in her eyes that suggested she was in deep thoughts. “Diane?” Jayden interrupted her thoughts.Diane jerked her head towards him. “Uhn?” She replied absent-mindedly. Clearing her throat, she adjusted herself on the seat. “Yes, Jayden?”“What are you thinking about?” Jayden asked.She shook her head slowly. “Nothing, really,” she whispered.Jayden gave her a doubtful look but shrugged. “We are here,” he announced. “Are you sure you can do this alone?” he asked.&ldq

“Hey, Malvika,” Diane said as she and Jayden walked towards her. “Are you okay? You look a little pale,” she observed as she took in Malvika’s appearance. Malvika shook her head. “I'm fine, Diane. What are you doing here?” She asked, ignoring Jayden who had gone to open the door. Before Diane could answer, Jayden interrupted them asking them to come in. Diane nodded her head in Malvika’s direction, gesturing to her to go in first. Together, they stepped into the house and Jayden closed the door behind them. As they walked into the living room, Malvika said to Diane, “You haven’t answered my question yet. Diane, what are you doing here?” “Jayden is a friend and he has agreed to let me stay here for the meantime,” Diane replied smoothly, moving towards the couch. “I just got back from Nicholas’ house and Natasha said you were not around. I had no idea you will be here.” “Yeah,” Malvika replied, lowering herself unto one of the wooden chairs in the livin
