TAKE YOU BACK

TAKE YOU BACK
CHAPTER THIRTY FOUR

DIANA

Kate pointed a finger at me, her hands shaking as she did so.

"Who the hell do you think you're talking to in such a manner?! You want to take what? Do you think any lawyer is going to take your side? Don't be delusional!" She snapped at me.

However, I just smiled coldly. "I don't know if I am delusional or not, but I know that are lot of people are going to be on my side if something like this happens. The entire city is definitely going to be interested in the scandal of the wife of the city's most perfect husband and his family. Even if I don't get anything from this, you are still going to lose a lot. I am sure that your company is going to be affected if people find out how you've treated me!" Diana yelled.

"I thought you made a loud din and said that you didn't want anything from us when my son died. You said James was terrible to you and now what? You've changed your mind and you want something now?" Kate sneered at me.

She must have thought that her words were going to make me feel some type of way but I just sneered.

I didn't care, James was dead, and I no longer had anything to do with them.

If it wasn't for Chris, I wouldn't even be here.

"You can go ahead and think whatever you want. I really don't care. However, I've made myself clear here. If you don't tell Dylan to sell the land to Chris, I am going to fight for what should belong to me. I don't even want the money, I will make sure to donate it as long as I get my hands on it!"

I knew that this was going to make Kate mad, and I smiled as I said this

She looked like she wanted to eat me alive, but I just turned and walked away after I said this.

I felt completely drained once I was out of the house. This was a place that was a prison for me for five years and now, I was back, only because I wanted to make sure that Chris did not lose out because of me.

Chris....there was no way I could keep on lying to myself about what I felt for him.

However, I was also clear that nothing was going go happen. He hated me...as he should, and me working for him and remaining by his side just made me feel worse and worse.

The wise thing to do would be to get away from him as soon as possible.

I had to start looking for a new job.

"Diana," I heard someone call my name just then and I looked up to see Diego approaching me , a smile on my face.

I blinked my eyes, shocked. For some reason, I had been half expecting Chris to show up and pick me up from here, but it was actually Diego.

What was going on?

"What are you doing here?" He asked me as he looked at the large house behind me.

I froze at his question, "I had some things to talk about with Dylan," I said.

Diego nodded bid head, his eyes dark with some emotion I couldn't quite understand.

"Dylan.....is your former brother in law. It must have been hard for you to see him today. I guess there's something you want to talk about with him?" He asked me.

I froze once again at this question, did Diego know something about?

His gaze on me was filled with pity, and it made my blood run cold.

I really didn't want anyone to know about what happened to me in the past and the abuse I went through in James' hands.

Diego... Really didn't know anything, right?

"You came here because of the land, right? You should go talk to Dylan. Considering what happened, I am sure he won't want to sell to Chris anymore," I said, a fake smile on my face.

There was no way I would tell Diego that I had already threatened Dylan into making sure that he sold the land to Chris.

"I am not sure he would be selling to me either," Dylan said, a soft smile on his face.

"What do you mean?"

"If I told you that it was because of you, would you believe me?" He asked me, his eyes piercing deep into me as he asked me this.

I really had no idea what I was supposed to say to this and so I just stayed silent.

When Dylan did not get a reply from me a few seconds later, he shook his head and laughed.

"Forget about it. I gave you my card sometime ago. I'm wondering....."

P"Oh right about that, I am really sorry about it. I lost the card you gave me. I really tried looking for it, but I couldn't find it. It wasn't because I didn't want to call you," I rushed to explain myself, worried that he would not believe me.

Diego looked confused when I said this. "What? You did call me .. but you didn't say anything. Wasn't that you? I wanted to ask why you would call and not say anything" He asked.

I shook my head, even more confused now. "No, I am sure I didn't call you. See you sure it was me?" I threw his question back at him.

Diego had a thoughtful look on his face for a few minutes. But then, he smiled and shook his head.

"I don't care, it seems I was wrong, it must have been someone else then," he said.

This was the only explanation I could think of too, and so I nodded my head.

"Come, let me take you back to your hotel," he said to me.

I shook my head, a forced smile on my face. "No I....."

"Diana" Diego called my name. "I don't care what you have going on with Chris, or why you showed up at your dead husband's house so late at night, however, I can't let you go back this late at night please, let me take you back," he said.
