Diana

"Someone could see me." Stella said, looking left and right as more people come, while some left after confirming what they saw in the news with their eyes.

The detectives were already present at the scene, so most people just watch from afar. They were whispering among each other as they left.

"Let them see you. You have your freedom already, so don't cage yourself with this sort of thoughts." Alex said.

Stella nodded her head. He turned around in his embrace and looked into his eyes. Alex thought she was going to cry or something, but she only smile.

A smile that reached up to her eyes and not a forced one. One look and one could tell she's happy. One could tell she was really afraid of Shane.

That's a genuine smile. A smile of freedom. She pulled back and looked into Alexander's eyes, "Alex, we can finally see our child without worry." she said.

That's her greatest wish and it came through. Shane is dead and Diana can come to them freely. She thought it was Alex who killed him, but who cares.

As long as he's out of the way, everything can finally fall into place. "Yes Stella, we can finally see our child." Alex replied and planted a kiss on her forehead.

"How do we contact her?" Stella asked with hopeful eyes.

"She took her cousins number the last time and promised to call, but since Mel and Tony said she's doing fine, how about we try enquiring her whereabout from them.

And I'm sure the news will get to her, as long as a television and newspaper existed wherever she was. She will come find us, but we shouldn't stop looking as well." Alex said to her.

Stella nodded her head and giggled happily, and this time her tears dropped. They are tears of joy. She didn't suffer in vain. Her long time wish is almost completely true.

They left the scene with Alex's left hand around her waist, while the other held onto her hat.

And yeah! people stare at them, but not many knows Stella, but most recognize Alex, since his face was on TV and news as a successful president of Mills enterprise.

It was then that Stella realize that except from those that patronize her mall, most don't know her, because she left the house in the back seat of a car, where one guard drive, another in the shotgun seat, while one female shared the back seat with her, as if she's the president of the state.

It's the same after leaving her mall. Shane made sure to keep her to himself. The guards were dressed as if they were one of her sales representatives and monitor her every movement.

And that bastard call that love. For once, she's glad he's dead. There was once upon a time that she would have cried her heart out at this calamity had befall him, but now, she felt so good that he's gone forever. He's not a brother figure but a beast in human clothing.

...

Diana didn't get to watch the news the previous day, as she was excited trying the dishes. They ended up eating everything as they made it and also tried the ones Sarah hasn't cooked yet.

They wasted all the ingredients and got their stomach filled up till they had to crawl to their rooms.

When they finally wake up, it was in the afternoon and didn't think about television and enjoy themselves, kidding around and even went swimming, while Ethan has automatically change her name from darling to 'wife to be'.

Looking at the news on her laptop, she frowned. How can things turn out this way? why isn't she happy that he died?

The death was very easy, because it's similar to the fun he's going to have after death.

She believed he would be thrown into a burning flame when he died, so dying like this is like tasting a dish before serving, so there's nothing special in it.

Her mood went sour immediately. She closed her laptop in annoyance and went to sit on the couch. She matches her kneels to her chest and hug them.

Her eyes went bloodshot and it didn't take long before the tears started falling. She's not happy at all.

A knock was heard on the door, but she refused to go open it. Ethan had just read Hannah's email about Shane being dead and couldn't help but find life to be funny at times.

He won't even need to cook something to erase his involvement, when he's found missing. It was also the third day and he wanted to let Diana know about it.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"I'm not okay!" Diana screamed from the inside, making Ethan opened the door and rushed inside, only to see her crying.

He went to where she sat and was stunned when she dramatically hug his neck and began speaking, "He's dead! that bastard is damn lucky! he got it easy."

Ethan fearful heart finally calmed, "wife to be, you scared me."

"Don't call me that now. I'm not in the mood for teasing. I should be glad that he's gone, but I'm so sad." Diana said.

"Remember I said I have a surprise for you?" Ethan asked.

"Let's talk about that later. I can't appreciate surprise now." she replied, and was pulled back.

She pouted her lips and stare into Ethan smiling one. "Don't smile." she added.

"Come." He said and held her hand. Diana was a little confused.

Could he possibly want to propose to her now that Shane is dead? she didn't think she can manage to smile if a ring was present to her today, but still followed him.

He brought out his mobile device and send a message to his men to come outside. Before they got outside the main house premises, the men were already outside.

Diana was putting on a pink leggings with a short skirt on top, which Ethan had insisted that she purchase, if she really wanted the leggings, as it accentuated her hips too much.

Since she wanted the leggings, she ended up buying the skirt. She was putting on a black top and a black footwear.

One of the men recognize Diana immediately, as he was the one who got beaten up by her, when Ethan asked him to keep an eye on her.

Diana pretend as if she didn't recall his face and act natural. Her expression has transformed from the woman who was crying a few minutes ago to a serious and innocent one. It was as if the tears never came.

Diana was stunned when Ethan asked her to follow them. "Wait why?" she asked.

Ethan leaned and pecked her lips, before placing a kiss on her forehead, "you will love the surprise, trust me." he said.

Now Diana find this weird. She kept following the two men and staring back at Ethan till they got away from his sight.

Immediately they did, her expression take a sharp turn again. She didn't seem resistance and kept a straight face.

They entered the certain parking lot. Diana folded her hands across her chest as they open the entrance.

One of them head in first, while the other asked Diana to go after with respect. She went inside as requested, wondering what the surprise could be.

Her mind drifted to the call about a certain person screaming and cursing. She's not an idiot, not to know it's that person she's about to see.

Immediately they have all gotten inside, one of them went to switch on the light, while they could already perceive the strong odour of urine.

Immediately the light went on, Diana saw the figure of a man sitting down with his head hanging in front of him as he has passed out.

The two men were surprised when she walked towards Shane and pulled him by his hair to have a vivid view of his face.

The odour of the urine got stronger now that she's closer to him  making Diana look down towards the floor and saw the traces of the dryness of the urine on the cemented floor.

She smirked and look back at his eyes that still remain closed. She tightened her hold on his hair and watch him winced in pain, before slowly opening his eyes.

Diana didn't miss the traces of dried blood at his nose area, down to his lips, but that isn't the issue now. She's really in front of Shane?

'Oh my! he even slept. Not that he's dead but was sleeping.' Diana thought in her head and released his hair, as he's now looking at her with his eyes wide open.

"We meet again Shane. I'm gonna have a lot of fun with you bastard!" She said with an evil smirk, which made the two men that was treated as air and Ethan that was listening in his room felt a shiver run through their spine at the weight her word carries.
