Chapter 64 - "What's your name?"

"I'm sorry, I'm just so excited." She apologized, and stated her reason for the sudden attempt.

"Tsk! mind yourself from now on, I made the rules and can bend it at anytime. If you try it again, it might not stop with a hug." Nathan teased.

'Can he be less ridiculous?' Diana asked in her head, but ignored him as she still couldn't believe she will be meeting her birth father. Her excitement died down when Nathan spoke again. "He's sick." he said.

Diana looked at him in confusion, yes! she knew he wasn't fine; thanks to Shane, but the tone in which Nathan used is not so nice.

"What happened?" Diana asked, her expression solemn.

"Your family said he woke up and started asking for you and your mother, and later learned about your mother's marriage to that moron. He went to find your mother to asked about you, but your mom was worried about putting his life and yours in danger and told him you're dead. He nearly had a heart attack and hasn't been responding to treatment since then." Nathan said.

Diana's tears were already falling uncontrollably.

"What do I do now?" She asked.

"Don't appear weak in front of him, make him believe you're doing fine. He might later get better and feel at ease." Nathan said. "Don't give him something to worry about, and it's gonna turn out well." He added.

Diana nodded her head in agreement and wiped her tears. "Thank you." she said.

"Hmm," Nathan hummed. "I heard your needs has been tended to, can you take care of your dressing up or you want help with it?"  He asked.

"I can help myself." Diana said.

"That's good, her charges are pretty high and you will have to pay double since you won't be paying instantly." Nathan said and ask her to leave.

Diana stood up and headed toward her room. She took a short nap without thinking much and left for her swimming section.

….

The day seem to break quickly as Diana stood in front of her dresser. Her long hair styled in a soft cascading half updos, with an elevated top and a lovely decorative silver headpiece, sitting right on the delicate side-to-side braid, revealing her beautiful white neck area. She's putting on a sexy low back red body hugging gown, which outline her curves and revealing a fair part of her back down to where the lows stopped. The front layer was up to her chest below her collarbone, while the puffed sleeves fell off her shoulder a little bit, revealing a fair part of her shoulders. A diamond choker necklace, designed with red swarovski crystal adorned her neck with a matching earrings, making her look elegant, and breathtaking if her face isn't there.

She stared at her reflection, her gaze frosty and void of emotions. All is done except her face. She stared at the outlined make-up tools on the dresser and pick up her face primer and applied it on her face, she let it dried off, before proceeding to concealing her blemishes, draw her eyebrows and apply her eye shadows, mascara and eyeliner.

After finishing with the eyes, she moved on to applying her foundation, did her highlighting and contouring and apply the powders in the necessary areas and looked at the wonder of make-up. She's not done yet, but she could barely recognize herself.

After applying a fair amount of bronzer in the highlighted area, painted her lips; she picked up the setting spray and sprayed it and stood up, looking beautiful if one could overlook her protruded teeth, as the makeup bring out the glow in her beautiful blue eyes, making her look totally different.

As she was putting on her shoes, a knock was heard at the door, "I'm done." She said and zip up the shoes at both sides. She made her way to the door and saw the person who came to get her gestured to her to follow him.

Nathan blinked and held his breath for a while, as he saw her approached, her transformation stunned him, coupled with her ice cold expression, she looks totally different. He gulped and scoffed at himself before snapping out of it.

"Wow!" He exclaimed as she got to where he stood, "you don't look bad." He complimented with a smile and received a nod in return from Diana.

"Hey! you're not going for war, why the serious look?" he asked, but Diana only shook her head in response.

He chuckled and ask her to follow him. They walked toward the helicopter, and headed in. Diana saw some of the trainees and seniors armed and ready for battle. Apparently they couldn't just entered Shane's den unprepared.

She sat quietly beside Nathan, who kept staring at her, not being sneaky about it but actually making it obvious. Yet she couldn't feel anything, she couldn't get angry or amused. She kept staring into space, void of expression like a doll.

"When you feel the cold is getting too much, let me know." Nathan said.

"Thank you." Diana replied. She has her needle case in her purse, but wasn't in the mood to talk much, so she just thanked him.

"You're welcome," Nathan replied. He's not the talkative type, but wanted to strike a conversation with her, yet Diana kept brushing off everything with a nod and the two words, which is 'thank you'.

The plane took off and soon landed on the rooftop of her father's family's corporation. Immediately the plane landed, her entire family from her father sides showed up, with a pale and unhealthy looking middle-aged man on a wheelchair.

One of her aunt's son pushed the wheelchair toward Diana and Nathan, who were also walking towards them.

Alex and Diana's expressionless face waver as they got closer to each other. They stopped in front of each other and locked gaze. The same blue eyes as his and hair as Stella; Alex didn't need more persuasion before knowing that the girl standing in front of him is his child.

For people who are rich and have a good sense of fashion; her two aunts recognized the worth of everything Diana had on and felt glad with the shape they met her. Alex's eyes began to get teary.

Nathan saw this and told the others to give both father and daughter a chance to talk alone. They nodded in agreement and all stepped away from the duo.

"What's your name?" Alex asked in a low tone, as he still couldn't talk much.

Diana smiled at him, not bothering about her teeth or anything, which brought tears to Alex's eyes, "Diana." she said.
