Dashed hope
Diana He gradually brought his face closer to mine until we were few metres away. I could feel his hot breath on my skin. "It's actually Rutherford DeVille " He whispered into my ears causing cold to go down my spine. "How about I abduct you right now and ask your dad to pay a huge ransom for your freedom?."My pupils dilated in awe. He is a gangster who purposely got married to me just to kidnap me and make money from my gullible father?. I knew it. I just knew that there was something dark about him. I wonder how he managed to get my father to trust him to the extent of making him a son in law.He suddenly let out a loud, scary laughter. "Just kidding. Hope you didn't take my joke to heart?" He laughed harder and let go of me as I took some steps away from him, breathing heavily."I know you probably think that I'm a bad person but you are wrong" He said. "And for the other day at the shopping mall?. I am sorry. I didn't mean to be rude, I was just in a bad mood"He apologized?. I

A glimpse of his wrath
RutherfordI walked into his office at the upper part of the building. He was seated on his chair with his eyes fixed on the laptop before him. As soon as he saw me, a smile crept up his face."You called for me" I said and sat on the couch opposite where he sat, with my legs crossed. I bit the apple which I have taken from the dining table as I wondered what the crafty fox is up to now."Yes. I wanted to officially congratulate you for being the son in law of this prestigious family" He giggled and trodded towards me with an outstretched arm. I took his hand in mine as I forced a smile."You have finally married my daughter, can I now get the appointment letter?" He added with a mischievous smile as we disengage from the handshake.I scoffed as I took another bite of the green apple. I am not surprised. I was actually expecting this from him. "Do you really think that I would give it to you just like that?"He raised his eyebrows. "What? What do you mean?""What I mean?. I mean this.

Discovery and plans
Rutherford The car finally pulled in front of the Silverado's company. I let out a sigh as I and Diana stepped out of the car simultaneously to behold the familiar building which contains a lot of memories and dreams. For a while, I regretted my decision to come here. This is bound to resurrect buried wounds. "I know you are struck by the magnificence of my boyfriend's company but can you at least not make it obvious?" Diana snarled at me as she walked towards the wide opaque glass door. "So embarrassing."Boyfriend?. She should keep on bragging about her boyfriend to my face and I won't hesitate to increase her chances of joining him under six feet. I let out a sigh and hurried after her.With Diana leading the way, we strutted Into the huge building. The workers were so busy to recognize our presence. Some were occupied with the laptop before them while others walked to and fro with files on their hands. Most of the workers seemed strange and unfamiliar. Ethan had removed all my f

His adopted father
Rutherford"Oh. Now I am Ethan. We both agreed that you will get married to Rutherford because of his wealth and kill him after getting it but now that you have discovered that he's a lowlife, what's stopping you from getting rid of him?." Ethan growled."What the heck are you saying to me?. You don't know how much I'm dying to get rid of that pest. I can't even go to get together's with my friends because I'm embarrassed of being seen together with someone like him but what do you want me to do?. He doesn't look like someone who would divorce me so easily"I wasn't supposed to feel bad because I'm used to this feeling of betrayal but to my chagrin, I felt a sharp pain in my chest. But thankfully, it was gone as soon as it came. Diana had planned with her boyfriend to kill me?. More reasons why I have to quicken my plans before these two strike first."Leave that to me, I have a plan " Ethan's voice echoed with assurance. "But first of all, bring him to me again, I want to teach him

Humiliated by my husband
DianaI took a last look at my pink, short designer gown which was perfectly decorated with flower embroideries. I wore a simple but classy make up and packed up my hair in ponytail. Another look at the mirror and I was satisfied with the expensive look I had. My friends had suddenly paid me a visit today and I can't afford to look below par.I have been avoiding our meetings after my marriage to Rutherford. I have always bragged about how I will get married to a prince and become a princess of two kingdoms. My friends will definitely make fun of me if they find out that I got married to a beggar.Thank goodness Rutherford didn't come back home yesterday. When I came out of Ethan's company, he was gone. I was so angry that he left without my permission but right now, I'm grateful he disappeared. I hope he doesn't return ever again.Just then, I heard a knock on the door. "Excuse me miss. Your friends are downstairs and they are getting impatient already " Hana, my personal maid inform

Revenge and pain
DianaI shot Rutherford a hard stare, warning him to play along and just walk away. But to my chagrin, he hurried towards me and dragged me into his arms causing me to froze. I felt my world crash into thousand pieces as a tear dropped from my eyes."I have really missed you darling." He muttered.The girls burst into a mocking laugh. "Disgusting"My weakened hands suddenly received strength. I muttered all the strength I could gather and push him away. "Have you gone mad?" "Oh my gosh princess . I understand you got married to a beggar but you shouldn't treat him that way" Stephanie interrupted and they all burst into another round of laughter.It felt as if the earth should open up and swallow me. I clenched my fist in anger as their laughter echoed in my head. "Stop laughing. Stop it" I screamed when I couldn't take it anymore and the room went quiet immediately."You all should leave, I want to be left alone." I said."Are you chasing us away? How.." "I said, leave now." I yelle

A suspicious help
DianaI heaved a deep sigh of relief when Rutherford finally opened his eyes. He has been unconscious for the past four hours. I wonder what Ethan did to him. Not like I care but if he is to die, it shouldn't be in my house. I can't afford to give the hungry public any opportunity to slander my reputation.He slowly sat up on the bed wearing an expressionless face. I waited for him to say something but he didn't, rather he kept staring at me. It felt as if he was trying to pierce through me and take a peek at what was going through my mind."What?" I fired when I couldn't stand his stare anymore. Does he know that I purposely sent him to Ethan to get beaten up?."I'm ready to divorce you." He dropped the bombshell, causing my eyes to widen in disbelief."What?" I just wanted to make sure my ears weren't deceiving me."You've always wanted to divorce me right?. I'm ready to grant you your wish"My heart leaped for joy as a wide smile appeared on my face. But at a second thought, I paus

His bride to be
DianaI slowly opened the door to behold Dad pacing to and fro the large office. I swallowed hard and walked in."You called for me dad" I said.He turned sharply to me with a hard glare. Mt heart missed a beat as I wondered what was going through his mind. Is he angry at me?. Or is he thinking of questions to ask me concerning the conferral letter?. Gosh. But I know nothing about it.Dad suddenly started clapping as his once puckered face cowered into a broad smile. "Well done princess. Well done."I blinked my eyes in confusion. Why was he thanking me?. I forced a smile at him."I knew you were as smart as your father. For a while, I have been wondering why you were so obsessed with being with Ethan not knowing that you saw something. You should have told me earlier and I wouldn't have let you marry that loser." He giggled excitedly.Dad really believes that Ethan has the conferral letter. What if he finds out that it was a lie?. Phew. I should think about that later. I must do anyt

Creepy plan
RutherfordI sat down sadly on the table as I watched my ex wife dress up with a big smile on her face. She must be so happy to get engaged to the heir of Silverado's empire. Such a gold digging bitch.After what took forever, she turned to me with a smirk on her face. "How do I look?"I took a closer look at her. She was dressed in a pink short gown, revealing her fair, slender legs. Her heavy make up gave her a bossy look and made her look a bit different."I asked you to commend me and not drool" She sneered and slipped her legs into her white glassy heel.She picked up the divorce letter from the center table and walked away without even turning to see the sadness on my face. She must be so heartless. Few metres to the door, she paused and turned back to me. Did she read my mind?."Make sure you are gone before we return. My husband wouldn't be happy to hear that my wretched ex husband is still living under the same roof with his queen." She let out a loud laugh before catwalking

Revealing his dark side
EthanI sat down on the couch with my legs crossed opposite Mr Roger and her pretty daughter, my soon wife to be. I had invited them to my personal suite at the quiet part of the city. For security reasons, i come here whenever I want to discuss shady businesses.I grinned as Diana handed over the two documents to me with a broad smile. I returned the smile. Such a naive lady. I turned to take a look at Mr Roger. What could be in that conferral letter that he's ready to give his precious daughter to me?. Why does he look so desperate. I need to find out what it's about.I handed over the document to my lawyer who was seated beside me. I had to come with him. Greedy people like Roger can't be trusted. "Now that I have given my daughter to you and also shown you a proof that I have named her my heiress, can you now hand over the conferral letter to me?" Roger said.I signaled one of my goons who was standing behind me. He quickly handed over the fake conferral document to me. "What cou
