Sipping the water with the help of Louis, Diana took a deep breath and looked directly into his eyes but what she had said next, had successfully shattered the tiny hope in his heart like some broken glasses...
"I don't love you Louis…"
Louis felt that his world had stopped for a second but it was because of the pain he was feeling in his heart. He couldn't express how much it was hurting him to hear the rejection from the girl who was the first one to lit a hope of love in his life..
He tried to cover his sadness with a fake mask of smile but it turned into a confusion when Diana uttered her next word…
"Yet…" Diana added just this single word.
Louis took some time to understand what she had muttered and when he finally did, he looked at her hopefully before asking, "What? What do you mean by 'yet'? Is there any chance for us in future?"
Diana smiled at him as she clearly noticed his expectations in his eyes and said, "No we don't have any chance in future too…"
Hearing this, again Louis' face fell but before he could express his sorrow anymore, Diana said, "Because I'm giving this chance right now…"
The one statement brought a smile on Louis' lips as he tilted up his head to look at her with happy eyes and asked, "That's mean you'll try to.."
"Sssshhhh!! How much you talk. I gave you full freedom to tell me whatever you wanted and I myself kept quiet. So this time you'll give me the time to speak whatever I want.." Diana spoke with a soft smile hanging on her lips.
Louis nodded his head vigorously as if he was getting a command from his mother and kept mum.
Diana chuckled at his behaviour and said, "It's true that I'm not in love with you yet. But I already like you very much. And now my this liking is slowly turning into love.
So like you…I'm also falling in your love. And it'll be not much time left when I'll completely be in love with you like Vero, Willa and Lucy love their own partners."
This small yet very much sweet confession was enough to clear all the restrictions in their hearts and both of them felt that a big burden had been removed from their shoulders.
They gave each other a loving smile when Louis suddenly asked, "So…are we a couple now?"
Diana giggled and replied, "Seems like so…"
Louis didn't waste anymore time after hearing her confirmation and pulled her towards him, engulfing her in a tight hug.
"From today onwards…I'm going to protect you from all the demons. I'm going to take the revenge on all those people who had tried to hurt you in the past. I promise you that.." Louis said with determination present in his voice.
Diana's eyes welled up in happy tears but she still smiled and replied, "And I promise you to fall in love with you as soon as possible."
Louis smiled, smelling her hair as he caressed her back to soothe her from all sadness...

Paradise Hotel...
Regina's room...
As soon as Regina entered in her room she threw her bag on the couch angrily and gulped down a full glass of water in urgency.
She was seething in anger from the moment Veronica started discriminating her. She went to meet Veronica to warn her to stay away from Reuben..
And here...she was the one who got a death warning from Veronica which was enough to scare her.
She needed to find some distraction to calm her mind and what could be better than s.e.x..??
But her s.e.x buddy was not here to give her the pleasure she needed which made her grit her teeth in absolute anger.
Right at that moment her cell phone rang. She tried to ignore it as she didn't want anyone's disturbance now. She wanted to find some peace so that she could plan something against Veronica..
After ringing for a while, it stopped which made Regina relax a little but her patience broke when it started ringing again.
Regina cursed the caller and picked up the call without checking the number and shouted, "Who the hell is this?"
"Woah!! Ms. Regina Parker is angry today? Why suddenly? Isn't she having some good time with her would be fiance?" A male voice asked her from the other side.
Regina's rage filled mind immediately calmed down as she said with a sigh of relief, "Mike… I really miss you.."
Mike chuckled and questioned back, "Are you really missing me or our awesome f.u.c.k times?"
"That's why I prefer you more than other boys. Because you know me very well to tell what exactly I want." Regina smirked while replying.
Mike laughed at her reply and said, "Then you don't have to worry about that because we're going to have an awesome s.e.x night really soon.."
"But how? We both are in different cities right now.." Regina was completely confused.
"That's why I'm calling you. I'm going to city S tomorrow for a project of mine. I'll stay there for few days there before coming to City B again...
Meanwhile, we can have many hot and steamy moment of ours as much as we want." Mike replied, l.u.s.t already covering his eyes and mind.
The moment Regina heard about Mike's upcoming visit to city S tomorrow, she jumped in excitement as she really needed him the most right now.
"That's super cool. I'll be waiting for you then." Regina said before hanging up the call.
"Now I can finally have some peaceful sleep." Regina muttered to herself without knowing that the sleep, she was talking about will soon be gone from her eyes and her dreams would turn into reveries in a fit of moment..
And the sleep hunter would be none other than Veronica Lopez herself. Regina's soon to be nightmare who would not only take her sleep but also every piece of her happiness, joy and desire..
After all Veronica Lopez was not someone to just sit behind and do nothing. She was not being called the 'Ice Queen' without any specific reason. She had enough power to freeze anyone just by her single glance…
