A week had passed since the disgrace she'd faced in the cathedral where she was supposed to get married.She had looked around for a small apartment and when she finally found one she decided to go back to the house to take all her belongings."Good day,Mrs Bryan" she greeted as she stepped foot into the house.Mrs Bryan hissed loudly."I see you've come back to your senses,haven't you?" she turned to her "And now you have decided to come back"Jamie said nothing.She was in no mood for argument.As far as she had made up her mind and her intentions are pure then she owes nobody any damn explanation."Don't you want to know why Jake wasn't able to show up at your wedding?""No." Jamie replied curtly after which she continued up the stairs.She grabbed her luggages and began to pour all her clothes into it as quickly as she could.In thirty minutes everything was packed inside three luggages.She heaved a sigh as she stared around the room for the last time.She teared up,staring at thei

Edward walked in a little bit later.At his arrival he sensed something was wrong in the way Diana sat still by the side of the bed,totally oblivious to his entrance.It wasn't until he dropped the tray of food on the table did she snap out of her oblivion."You.. you're back" she was obviously forcing a smile.He moved closer and sat beside her but she got up almost immediately."Oh.. I'm so hungry! Thank God,you brought this" she exclaimed and went to the dinner table.Edward knew that something was wrong from the instant he stepped into the room.He studied psychology anyways so every of her movement was an obvious answer to his question.He decided not to question her yet.She might get mad and matters might grow worse.He decided to take his bath and hoped her anger would have died down.Although he didn't know what the reason is for her sudden change he knew the best way to handle it.For this reason,he placed a soft kiss on her cheek before leaving for the bathtub.He felt her s

"Stop!" screamed Diana as she continued to struggle with this crazy man.He stopped pulling her and stared down at her on the floor."What is it,little bird?""Where... where are you taking me?" she was out of breath "And what..what did you mean by revenge?"He lowered himself to her level "It's not time to know yet." he bawled "I want to know why exactly you got yourself entangled with Edward?"Surprised,her blue orbs could only stare at him.Does he know about their little pretence?He shook his head pitifully."You really don't know what you've gotten yourself into." he added "Did Edward not tell you about his past?""What past?" she demanded"You're asking me?" he said sarcastically "Really,Diana!""You love and trust a man whose past you know nothing about and whose future you won't live in." he clapped his hands "Isn't that wonderful,huh?""If you have a problem with Edward sort it out with him." adviced Diana "I don't care about his past or his-""Oh,you will eventually." he gr

"Ugh!! Dad.." Beverly cried "You're hurting me!!" she screamed and it earned another hard slap to her face that sent her to the floor.Mrs Hill tried to stop her husband but the latter,totally enraged pushes her unto the floor.He grabs Beverly's hair and forced her to look at him,blood seeping from the corner of her lips."I warned you not to go against the Mafia! Such a disobedient daughter!" he raised his hand to hit her again,however,"No,please!" came the shriek voice of her mother "Please,Gabriel..." she sobbed "That's enough...look, she's bleeding""I don't care!" he tossed Beverly hard against the floor,kicking her as he spoke "That's what a filial daughter gets for going against her father's instructions!""Today, I'll kill you!!" he growled as he kept on kicking her continuouslyMrs Hill went ahead and held him with all her might, stopping him from hitting her anymore."She..she won't disobey you again...please stop now!" she pleaded with tears on her face"No,I know she will

"No," "I don't love you." she forced herself to say.Unable to bear the heated silence between them she walked past him."Diana." he stopped her.She wouldn't have stopped if not for the weird feeling that tugged at her skin.His sultry voice held a hint of sadness,hurt,pain and denial.She turned back however,his back was to her.She was unable to see the tears that,for the first time,slipped out of his eyes."I wish I could explain how wonderful you are." he said "How I could look into your eyes and never get tired of that beauty."Her eyes filled with tears."How the sound of your voice gives me butterflies.How seeing you walk into a room makes me smile.""How much you mean to me and how much..." he paused and wiped his tears "...I love you"Diana's lips parted.She wanted to run and jump into his arms.She wanted to get excited like every woman would on hearing the one you love say he loves you.She wanted to tell him back that she finds him an amazing man and that she wished things
