Chapter 158 - You're dead meat!

Diana blushed and covered her face. "I'm an adult." she said, as Alex requested that she sit on his lap.

Alex chuckled, "adult to who?" he asked.

Diana scratched her hair and did as told. The last time, he was very sick, but this time, he wasn't. At least those were Diana's thought.

Even though Alex has escaped death; there are still part of him that got affected by the long sleep.

"How have you been?" Alex asked, hugging her tightly, while Diana rested her head on his shoulder and hugged his neck.

"I've been doing fine. How are you?" Diana asked.

"Being strong for you." Alex said and both chuckled. "Don't risk coming here like this after today, baby. Give me some time and everything will be in order." Alex said.

Diana didn't argue with him and nodded her head. "I won't. I'm happy to see you and mom today." Diana grunted happily.

Alex smile froze, but Diana couldn't see it. "You've visited your mother?" he asked, his expression suddenly went stoic.

He has avoided hearing anything related to Stella, but knew he shouldn't do that with his daughter.

"Yes! I'm pissed with how they have her caged." Diana pouted.

"Caged?" Alex was confused. 'what caged? she married that bastard that wants her child dead.' Alex thought, feeling more pissed at Stella.

Before Diana could reply, "How was your training?" he asked, as he didn't want them to go deep into Stella's conversation.

It was different between the two, as Alex made everything feels natural. He didn't imprint fear of Shane in Diana and didn't encourage her visit as well, but felt the happiest for seeing her.

If Diana showed up by herself; he knew she must know what she's doing. He could see the changes in her as well, but liked it. He didn't want her to cry and cower in fear because of some bastards.

Unlike Stella who was being monitored up and down; the father daughter duo was able to have a nice time together.

Alex asked and teased her about her relationship life, which she excludes the dangerous part and filled him in on nice and sweet details of the moments shared with Ethan.

Alex managed to make her have a short nap, while he took the opportunity to take a good look at the grown woman in front of him, who was his child.

He finally let his tears fell as he sat on the floor and kept staring at her sleeping face. Diana slept peacefully, as she was really tired from not sleeping all through the night, waiting for Ethan to sleep off and also travelled all the way here.

Despite that, she was still conscious of her surroundings and heard every word Alex muttered. He kept saying he's sorry for being incompetent.

"I'm sorry for not being there for you. I didn't take part in your growing up. I'm sorry you haven't done anything wrong and had to hide like a criminal ..." Alex kept ranting on and on.

Diana didn't open her eyes and asked him to stop. If it makes him feel a bit better, then he should pour out his heart, but she actually felt bad for the man.

Diana woke up a few hours later, feeling refreshed and also felt her body relaxed. She was surprised to see Alex still sitting on the same spot, staring at her.

She smiled at him, which he returned with a raised brow and placed a soft kiss on her forehead, which made Diana giggled.

She sat up and gestured for Alex to stand up from the floor. As soon as Alex did; a knock came at the door and Tyler came in.

"If you dare lie to me, you're dead meat!" Michael's threatening voice was heard from the tablet Tyler had on his hand.

"See for yourself." Tyler replied and walked towards Diana and Alex.

"Hey sis!" Michael blue hair, and a seductive smile flashed at Diana.

Diana was astonished by his look. The last time they met, his hair was brown. Now he looks like some kind of celebrity. But again; she got called sis.

"Hi." Diana replied, feeling awkward. She didn't even know his name.

"I thought Tyler was pulling my legs but you're really here….." Michael ranted on and on, but Diana was able to know that the dude sitting beside her right now was named Tyler.

Alex watched from the side as the three have their conversation. Diana kept smiling as both dudes made her feel like they've been best friends since birth.

They later requested for her mobile number to be able to get in contact with her. Diana wasn't sure what to do, as the phone will be taken from her once she returned to camp, but couldn't bare to say no either.

She had left her mobile phone back at home. She didn't bring it with her, so she took theirs instead.

"Make sure you call sis, or…"

"I'm dead meat." Diana completed it for him and they all burst into laughter.

"I can't recall how many times I've been threatened with that and here I am, a living meat." Tyler joked and they burst into another round of laughter.

"That's because you behaved." Michael replied after the laughter died down.

Diana kept the sheet of paper containing both their numbers in her pocket and Tyler left, as he had work to do.

"I need to start going now." Diana said.

Both headed out of the office, after Diana put on her wig. Alex asked the guards not to follow him after they got out of the company, which they agreed on and stayed far away, but had their eyes fixed on the duo.

Diana was stunned when the guards following him became six in numbers, immediately they stepped out of the premises.

She felt happy about it. "You're heavily guarded." Diana said as they kept walking.

Alex smiled, "yes! I collaborated with someone powerful and he insisted on keeping me safe, after learning how my accident wasn't an accidental cause." Alex said casually.

"I'm happy with this." Diana said, and pat her back, "it's just a matter of time baby." he said and Diana nodded obediently, like a filial child.

Diana sharp sense detect danger all of a sudden. She looked up and dragged Alex out of the way to evade a gunshot.

A bike speed by and fired shots at Alex repeatedly, but Diana was quick and guided him to safety.

Immediately the hooded guy on the bike saw Alex's guards running towards them and pulling out their guns; he speed off.

Without wasting time; Diana came out from their hiding and run after him at full speed. Seeing him getting away; she pulled out one of her daggers and aimed at the back tire of the bike, which was a success.

The bike lost its balance, fell to its side with the dude on top, making him hit his head on the floor and was separated from the bike, which sprung at another direction.

"You're dead meat!" Diana growled as she increased her pace, her eyes flashing with rage, without a hint of humanity in them.
