Chapter 298 - Bow down to his manly ego... (1/2)

”After the fiasco of Lucy's engagement ends, I'll tell you everything elaborately. Then you have to listen to my full story without losing your patience and any complain. Now I've work to do.”

”Okay fine..” Diana said.

Jack hugged Veronica and Lucinda before leaving when Veronica reminded him, ”You have to come in the morning first. We have a lot of arrangements to do. I don't want anymore arguments regarding this. Do you get it, bro??”

Lucinda also agreed with her bestie and said, ”Yeah.. Niccy is right, Jack. You already missed so many gatherings and meet ups. But this time, I'll not allow you to miss it. After all, it's one of the most special day of my life. Even the boys miss you.”

”Fine.. Fine.. I'll come early morning. I really won't give you any chance to complain.” Jack said.

”Good boy.” Veronica said and ruffled his hair.

”For god's sake Vero. Don't waste my ten minutes of hard work by ruffling my hair. You don't know how much time I spend everyday to set my hair stylishly.

Moreover, don't forget that I'm the elder one between us...not you..” Jack glared at her but it was as fake as the idea of Sun moving around the earth..

Veronica chuckled at him and said, ”Okay.. I'm letting you go for today. But you'll not be able to get out of my hand this Thursday. I'll gang up against you with my whole team.”

Jack laughed at her and said, ”Let's see then. Now bye guys.”

Turning towards Myra for the last time, Jack said, ”Bye Myra. We'll meet again on the day after tomorrow.”

”Yeah bye.. See you soon.” Myra said to him with a small smile which was enough to take Jack's breath away from his lungs.

After Jack left with the dress, Diana looked at Veronica and asked hesitatingly, ”Vero.. Don't think that I'm blaming you but I'm just curious about something. I was not in my right sense to ask you yesterday...

But now that my mind is clear, a question is disturbing me very much. Why did you hide your true identity from me while studying in city B?”

Veronica knew that this question was about to throw on her anytime so she was already prepared to reply.

But she was uncertain about the fact that why Diana hadn't asked it the moment they had entered her cabin today.

Still she smiled and held her hands before saying, ”The one thing I regret the most in my life, is to hide the truth about my identity. It was not only you from whom I've hid everything but I didn't disclose about myself to anyone while living in city B. And that was my biggest mistake…”

”I know that you hid your identity from us but why would it be your biggest mistake? I'm sure there was some reason behind it.” Diana said.

”Yeah.. You're right that there were some reasons. Actually I wanted to live my life freely as a normal girl…not like some rich heiress. I wanted to taste the life of a normal college student. However, my one decision led me to many unwanted things…

If I wasn't so much selfish that time then I'd be able to protect you from that Frank and his torture. I could also save Alex from dying..” Veronica sighed at the memory of her dead friend.

Diana couldn't understand the last part and asked, ”First if all, it's not your fault about me bearing those tortures. Secondly, who is this Alex now?”
