Chapter 290 - Diana's past...

"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..

Louis understood her reluctance and got up from the floor before announcing, "I'm waiting outside. Now you can talk in complete privacy with the girls Diana. So relax..."

Saying this, he was about to walk out of her cabin when Diana stopped him, "Don't...I think, if you stay here then I'll get more support so I really don't have any problem with you being present here.."

Not only Louis and the three girls, but also Diana herself was very much shocked with her sudden confession.

She didn't know from where she got the courage but just observing Louis from few days, she came to know that he would not bring her any harm…even she felt protected around him...

The reason of her this particular feeling was completely unknown to her but she knew that something has started bubbling inside her heart for Louis which she had never experienced before.

Louis sighed and glanced at Veronica asking what should he do now…and when she blinked her eyes to give him assurance, he came back to Diana and took a seat beside her..

After Diana saw him being seated at her right side, she faintly smiled at him and said, "Frank…he tried to kiss me forcefully by hovering over me. But I turned my head to another side so his kiss fell on my cheek...

This triggered his anger more and he tried to touch me on here and there but before he could grab me by anywhere, I kicked him on his guts and he fell from the bed...

I took the chance and ran outside of my room but soon he followed me. He again tried to force himself on me but thankfully we heard the sound my Mom's car honk and I got saved from that bastard's dirty clutch.."

Hearing this, Louis' palm fisted in a tight ball in fury as he wanted nothing at that moment more than killing that piece of shit by his own hand for trying to molest his Diana..

But he again controlled it as he knew that this was not the perfect time to show his anger but right now he needed to pacify Diana the most..

So without his knowledge, his hand travelled around Diana's shoulder and he pulled her into a warm side hug before patting her on the back to console her that everything was fine now.

Getting the warmth from his body, Diana also involuntarily wrapped her hand around his body and rested her head on his shoulder...

Louis was happy to know that she was at least feeling secured around him but he was also aware about the fact that there was still more to hear from her but he decided that it could wait for a while.

So he tried to make her feel better by stopping her to say further, "You don't need to tell us anymore if you're feeling uncomfortable…Okay?"
