Chapter 290 - Dianas past... (1/2)

”For the first few days, everything was good for me as she treated me like a princess as usual. But some days later, everything changed and the episodes of my nightmare started…”

Veronica clutched Diana's hand tightly and reassured her, ”Don't get panicked by overthinking too much. We are all here with you. So just be strong and slowly tell us about your side of story.”

Diana nodded and narrated them, ”One day when I was in my room, listening to some music, that man had come to our home with all of his belongings..

I was confused at first that why he suddenly had packed all of his things and came here. But later my Mom told me that he was going to live with us from that day onwards.

I was very much skeptical about the thought of him living with us as I knew that what kind of vile man he was.

But slowly and steadily, my thoughts about him changed because of his lovely behavior towards me and my Mom. I started to become happy that my Mom really found someone good for her..

That time I remembered about your departure from city B. So wanted to go back to visit you for the last time but my Mom and her so called lover insisted me to stay for a few days more and I agreed.”

Pausing for a while, Diana again started, ”You called me many times Vero but I avoided it purposely because I had another plan settled in my mind. Few days before your leave, I tried to call you but it fell from my hands and got broken..

As I'm not good with remembering numbers, I wasn't able to call you but I had your number written in my diary which I had kept in my dorm of my university. So I decided that after I reach there, the first thing I'll do is to call you. But that never happened…”

Again Diana broke into tears and started choking on her own saliva. Louis got scared because of this and rushed to her work table to find a glass of water.

He brought the water near her mouth and kneeled down in front of her before making her drink the water from his hand which didn't go unnoticed by the three girls excluding Diana.

After Diana drank half of the water, Louis kept it on the center table and asked softly, ”What happened next? And what is the name of the man?”

Sniffling a little, Diana answered, ”His name is Frank Howard. He's the CEO of the famous company of country Z, 'Howard and Co.'.. He is actually a devil in gentleman's disguise…

His actual cruelty came out in front of my eyes after one month. I was alone in our home that day as my Mom had a kitty party with her friends. I was reading books that time when Frank showed himself in my room. He was drunk and the strong smell of alcohol was spreading in my whole room from his body..

He came…near me walking unsteadily and sat beside me. I became scared of his presence and told him to get out of my room. But he didn't and instead he…..”

Diana looked at Louis getting tensed as she had never disclosed her past to anyone specially to a man whom she had known from past few days..
