Chapter 136 - Alex Is the main suspect

"You promised not to get involved." Diana said.

"Calm down Diana, I didn't."

"The guy mistook your name?"

"I'm only worried about you, I heard people kept dying in that company." Ethan defended.

Ethan and Diana were in a hot argument. Diana kept hitting his chest and crying, while Ethan tried to calm her.

"You told me you will never get involved, you promised. I'm leaving this place." Diana said.

Ethan's heart sank and fear gripped his heart. He still felt assured since Diana is staying with him. How is he going to cope with her not being around him.

He quickly pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly, breathing heavily from their heated conversation, "I didn't get involved in your work. I got involved in the well being of the woman I love." he said and held her still, not leaving room for escape.

"Don't trick your way out of this." Diana replied.

"I'm not. I'm only concerned about you."

"That's where it starts. Slowly, you will get dragged in. Ethan I'm not cool with this. I don't want this to be the reasons, we will be going our separate wa…."

He pulled her back and crashed his lips on hers before she could complete the statement, which she shamelessly returned, despite her mood.

"You promised to mind what you say." Ethan said after pulling back and wiped her tears with his thumbs.

"You promised not to put yourself in danger because of me." Diana replied.

Using his hand to smoothen her hair behind her to have a clear view of her face. "You know you're cute right?"

"That's not what we are discussing here." Diana retort.

"Why aren't you keeping bangs? It will look good on you."

"My hair grows too fast, I don't have… damn! don't change the topic."

"I think it will look nice. Should I help you with it, I can do it."

"You can? How did you… Ethan stop it! let's not talk about that now." Diana blow out steam.

"I insist. I wanna see how it will look on you."

"Fine! stop messing with my head." Diana finally gave up. She's angry, but his words was melting her heart, yet the anger kept trying to take over.

Seeing her distracted, "I will be fine Diana, don't leave me and don't threaten to." He said.

"Don't send anyone after me again. I can take care of myself."

"Ok! I won't send someone to protect you again." He said.

"Promise me."

"I promise."

"Where are we going today. It's still early to sleep." Diana said, not wanting an argument be their last conversation before going to bed.

"How about we work on the bang. I wanna see how it will look on you." Ethan replied.

"It's a waste of time. It will grow back before you know it."

"Then let it grow."

"Ok fine!."

"Miss Hannah. I'm so sorry for the other day. I hope you will be able to make it next week as we've retrieved some of the important files for the presentation.

My hackers are still trying to locate the culprit. I hope you don't see this in the wrong way…" Shane is nearly losing his mind.

He kept explaining himself to Hannah on the phone. He had never lowered himself like this in his life. Hannah didn't give him any reason to result to killing her and doesn't seem like a threat.

She has purchased another 5% share from the 2 people whose confidence in him shattered after Diana's infiltration.

Which made them 15% percent apart as he only has 50% in total.

"Sure! I will be there. No hard feelings here as long as my money is safe." Hannah replied.

"Of course it is." Shane replied.

After the phone call ended; he took a long sigh and wondered back to when things became like this for him.

It feels like the whole world is against him. He didn't have much time to monitor his boys, as he's busy with getting his company back to his former state.

The company isn't falling, but not rising at all. It remained the same. But after Diana's action against it; it began losing it's value.

He also had to monitor Stella. That's his main priority. No matter what; he still needs to keep an eye on her, especially now that Alex is not an easy target.

It's also one of the main reasons he's trying hard with his company. He wouldn't want to lose the power to keep his woman, not that anyone will dare take her from him anyway, he's sure about that fact; unless the person wanted to taste death.

Unbeknown to Diana; Alex is the main suspect for the attack on Shane. The more it's hard to trace the attack back to her, the more Shane believe Alex is responsible, since the people backing him is capable of such.
