ARABELLA HERNANDEZ When my eyes opened in the morning, I found myself in Diego's arms. His eyes were still closed looking peaceful while sleeping and damn that messy hair look.Oh, Sweet Jesus! Are you trying to kill me early in the morning? Last night, I was happy to share my feelings with him. I was happy to finally let someone know how I still feel, how those nightmares still haunt me.Getting up from the bed I made my way to the washroom. After taking a shower I went downstairs to find Dad talking to Deby, more like arguing with her.I rolled my eyes.Every morning Dad fights with that old woman. She's his mother's age but who can explain this to the old man?I went towards them and greeted them making them stop fighting. Again I made my way toward the kitchen and started preparing the breakfast. Diego joined us at the breakfast table all dressed up and ready to leave for his work. Tomorrow is my book launch event, I have to inform him.Not that I expect him to come there for

DIEGO HERNANDEZ I looked down at Arabella she was finally asleep. I never thought it would be this dangerous of course she would be scared after what happened today, even I was afraid that we would make out alive from that place. Getting up from the bed I made my way outside the room, reaching my office room I called Simon."Diego?" He answered."What the fuck is going Simon?"I was really mad at him. It was never my responsibility to face these situations, he promised me I would never have to face such situations under his security but today he broke the promise."What happened?""Watch the news. We were attacked today at Arabella's event. She got attacked twice, Simon. You told me they are gonna use her to get to you and if I marry her they wouldn't dare to kill someone like me.""It's complicated Diego.""I don't fucking care Simon because of you she is in danger, are you understanding that?""I know Diego. I know I am trying to save her. I'll sort everything out.""When are you g

ARABELLA HERNANDEZ I was walking back to the penthouse though I never felt scared walking alone at night whenever I used to sneak out from my old house but today, I don't know why I was scared. After what happened yesterday of course I should be scared.What if Diego wouldn't have been there with me?And why are those people even trying to kill me? Does Simon have any connection with them?Fucking hell! This shit is complicated."Shall I be your bodyguard for the night?" Came a voice from behind making me jump in horror. I turned around with one hand placed on my chest."Jesus Connor! You scared me!" I said breathing heavily.He chuckled then made his way towards me "Sorry for that dear lady."I rested both my hands on my waist suspiciously scanning his face "You know sometimes I really wonder if you are stalking me, wherever I go, you are always there.""Stalking? Oh, I am so hurt. It's just I was walking back home after a dinner date which didn't go well when I saw my friend so I t

DIEGO HERNANDEZ"What am I doing?" I cursed myself for getting out of my room. Arabella was sleeping in the room while I was struggling to figure out what am I doing exactly.I shouldn't get close to her in the end we'll have to get a divorce after a year. After Simon will sort everything, I have to divorce her.I shouldn't get this close to her.I have never allowed anyone in my study but today I myself took her to that room and on top of that I told her she can go there whenever she feels like it.This is too much.I was about to go to the study when my phone rang I looked at the id, it was Christopher, which made me roll my eyes.Not again."Yeah," I answered."There has been a problem." He said."I can perfectly say that there has been some problem that's why you called. I don't think we are that close where you would call me to ask 'how I am'.""I am Serious Diego. There has been some serious problem.""What is it, Christopher?""One of our men died again. Someone murdered him an

ARABELLA HERNANDEZ When we reached home, Diego took me straight to our room he didn't even let me answer Dad's question. Dad too was confused by his sudden behavior.As we were inside our room Diego stood in front of me looking straight into my eyes."There are few things that you don't know about Simon which may hurt you but now you need to know them."I scanned his face once before asking "Is it something bad?"He nodded."I don't want to know," I replied.Diego came closer to me, placing his o ne hand on my chin making me look up at him "I have noticed something about you, you never ask the question 'why' and I think I know why because you don't wanna get hurt."He was right. I never asked Simon why he kept me caged for 6 months. I never asked him why he is away from me for more than a year. I never asked him why doesn't tell me about his work and above all, I never asked him why am I not allowed to tell people who my brother is."I am scared of losing people that's why I never se
