Chapter 292 - Winning and losing is a far fetched story...

"So…You meant to say that after you guys came to know about the twist made by your father regarding his properties, Frank stopped abusing you from then on as he had feared to loss the result of his long hard work by illuding your mom in his love trap... Right?" Veronica's clever mind immediately got the idea of the circ.u.mstances..

Diana slowly nodded her head agreeing with whatever Veronica presumed and clarified the whole situation, "You are right again. As soon as he came to know about my father's condition, he became angrier. But I took the chance to blackmail him and it worked. In the fear of losing the property to the orphanage, he stopped beating me, instead brainwashed my mother by lieing about me on my character...

My Mom trusted him again over me and started bashing on me. I can tolerate everything but not any questions about my character...

My dignity is the biggest thing which mattered the most to me. So that time, I decided that I won't tolerate this anymore. I confronted them and gave them a challenge that I'd set my own name in the fashion industry without their help...

I knew that Frank wouldn't dare to plan anything dangerous about my Mom, so I packed my luggage and left the home. I worked in country Z and made my name there. But it was still not enough to fulfil my actual dream, so I thought to come to city S as it was the city of every dreams and luckily I got the job in this company. So I'm right now here in front of you guys, telling you the sad story of my life…"

Finally Diana was done with her past when she noticed the silence erupted in the room. She got confused suddenly and also a little bit conscious...if like her mother, her new found friends would also blame her or not. But it soon got cleared by the next scene being played in front of her…

She was pulled into a bear hug by the three girls Veronica, Lucinda and Willa. They hugged her so tightly that it became difficult for her to breath but she still didn't break the group hug as she needed the confirmation from them that they didn't blame her for anything, instead was supporting her for her bravery.

But their hug got disturbed when they hear a shrill voice near them. They jolted up from their seat to see who was the culprit of this sudden disruption in their friendly moment and it was none other than Louis who was sitting on floor with an irritating expression on his face.

"What are you doing on the floor? Is the floor better than the couch that you're sitting there?" Lucinda asked being puzzled at him.

"Woah! At first you guys push me from the couch so that you could hug Diana and made me fall on the floor which hurt my elbow and back…

And now you are asking me about this?? What a big joke!!" Louis mocked Lucinda who didn't notice that, by her sudden energy to embrace Diana, she pushed Louis so hard that he slumped down on the floor being uncertain about the sudden upcoming force..

Lucinda smiled sheepishly and mocked him back, "Oh!! I didn't know the so called manly Louis doesn't even have a little bit strength to handle a cute girl like me..

Hahahaha...

That's why I tell you not be a narcissist idiot. Gosh! You can't even handle my strength, I don't know why you go to gym everyday."

Louis flared in anger and about to counterattack when Willa stopped them, "Guys.. You just should stop behaving like kids. Here we're discussing about a serious matter and you all are acting childishly.?"

Veronica just shook her head at them whereas Diana giggled at their sweet fight. Hearing her giggles, everyone turned towards her and they too smiled.

"Okay.. So jokes apart, now let's talk about serious things. Diana, what's your next plan? Are you going to leave that bastard of Frank let wander so freely or are you going to fight against him?" Veronica asked.

"I…I'm not sure. He is a well known businessman and he has a lot of power in his hand but I'm just a simple fashion designer. Though I also belong from a reputable family but not everyone knows about me. So there is no chance that I'm going to win against him." Diana told her doubt to them.

Sighing at her, Veronica said, "Look.. Winning and losing is a far fetched story. But if we don't try ever, then we may live our whole life in regrets. So we should at least fight back against the evils not thinking about the result."

"Yeah... Niccy is right. You don't have to be tensed about the result, just do your work. Moreover, now that we're your friends, we will help you in everything." Lucinda assured her.

Diana smiled at Lucinda and said, "I'll think over it leisurely. But first, let me show you the design of your engagement dress. After you all came, you guys got busy with my story, forgetting about the soon to be engaged girl."

"Yeah.. You're right. Let's see my bestie's dress first." Veronica said and Diana showed them the designs.

"Oh My God! It's so beautiful.." Willa exclaimed in aww..

"Yes.. It's so amazing Diana. Thanks a lot for this." Lucinda said before hugging her tightly.

Diana smiled at her and said, "I'm happy that you liked it."

Veronica observed her friend and saw the drastic change in her. Though Diana was smiling but there was still pain in her heart. Veronica promised to herself that she'd bring back the old Diana again.

"Okay. Let's come to the most important thing. Diana, you've to attend my engagement party this Thursday." Lucinda said.

"But…How can I…"

Before Diana could complete, Louis joked, "Diana.. You must attend her party otherwise she will eat your head like a wild cat."

"Louis Morgan… I'm going to kill you…" Lucinda shouted and this continued for a few more minutes while Diana felt lucky for the first time after five long years of having friends...
