All Chapters of AGAINST ALL ODDS : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

HELAENA slammed the door of her trunk close, then she stood, taking in a lungful of air.This was for the best, she told herself. She'd made the right decision. There was no use dragging it out. It was only going to end in disaster if she did. She had wanted to hurt Sybil and had even brought a knife with her when she confronted her in the parking lot, but she hadn't been able to bring it out and do what her darkened heart told her to.It wasn't worth it. Sybil dying was not going to bring Dian back to her, instead, it would be the opposite. It was better for her to leave this way, especially since she'd already confirmed that Sybil wasn't trying to take revenge on Dian.Helaena walked to the door of her car and yanked it open, hesitating a bit as tears impaired her vision, making everything look blurry."You can do this Helaena. It is time to let go" she said to herself, her hand gripping the door handle harder."Helaena" a desperate voice called and she flinched, turning to face th

Zach stepped into his room, grudgingly hitting the light switch before he slammed his bag into the couch with more force than was necessary. He was furious and he wasn't even sure why. Sybil getting back together with Dian shouldn't have made him feel as if someone was twisting a knife in his guts but it did and the feeling was disconcerting. It made him want to punch a wall, throw things around and scream at the top of his lungs, but that would be crazy and what explanation would he have to give for his crazy behavior? I am mad because my best friend got back with her ex. It was ludicrous. But it hurt. It hurt that he hadn't been able to get her to smile so brightly and yet after spending just one night with Dian the sparkle was back in Sybil's eyes, and she'd beamed as if she was the happiest person alive. It wasn't fair, not after everything Dian did to her, it wasn't entirely his fault because Sybil's parents had a hand in the whole bullshit, but still, he didn't like Dian. See

SYBIL EAGAN POVIt was Kushi and Rohan's wedding and as I watched the two couple smiling at each other, I couldn't help the smile that tugged at my lips. Everything had gone perfectly without a hitch, and for that, I was glad because I still couldn't get past the threat my parents had made. The ring Dian had given to me was in my purse and I'd already decided to wear it. What we had was beautiful and I didn't want to waste any more time not after all that we had been through, and what we'll probably go through in the future since I was sure Mom and Dad already got the lawsuit, and I knew the case would soon be in the news, since they were public figures, and father was running for the presidential election.The news would carry it creating more exposure and there will be a lot of court hearings, but it would all be worth it. They had to pay for what they had done if we ever wanted to be happy.Dian walked up to me and took my hand."Are you having a good time?" He whispered as he pu

****It was all over. The guards had managed to get Rose out of the hospital back to the house but she knew that it was only a matter of time before the cops came for them. The clip had gone viral despite all her effort to contain it and she was sure that everyone probably hated them, and were already speculating on the list of crimes they might have committed.It was all Eagan's fault. If he'd just done what she'd asked of him, they wouldn't have been in this mess.The bastard he'd sent to kill Dian hadn't even been able to get away and he was already in custody. Rose knew that there was no way he was going to keep his mouth shut, especially once the news spread that they were going to be investigated for a murder case and also the abduction of Sybil because she was sure they would be, soon. And Dian was still fucking alive. Rose dragged my hand through her hair, then inhaled shakily, the air not being quite enough to stave off the feeling of suffocation.The cops would probably st

SYBIL EAGAN POV A MONTH LATER******"Welcome home" we chorused once Dian stepped into the house, the confetti stick in our hands going off and Popping loudly, making us flinch and then burst out laughing.Dian joined in, his gaze roaming around the room in awe as he took in the decorations. He'd spent weeks recuperating in the hospital until he was fully able to walk on his own and now he was back home, perfectly healed and healthy. His aunt that had traveled to come to see him rushed to hug him, and Dian's eyes widened when he saw her. The hug lasted for some seconds before he let go."Oh my beautiful boy," she said looking him over. "I am so glad you are ok. You look so much better than the picture on the news... I was so worried Dian""I am doing ok Aunty. I am so glad you are here" he said, his eyes filling up, and they hugged again. Kushi and Rohan welcomed him next, then Zach, and then me."We're so happy you're back man, you scared the crap out of us. I really thought you w
