Chapter 174 - I don't regret going after him

{Diana's POV}

"I don't think there can be any woman without you. I don't think there will another, after you as well." he said after relaxing beside me, while smoothing my hair with his palm.

My expression changed and a drop of tears escaped my eyes. The answer fit my expectations. I know I'm being greedy, but I only want him for me.

If there's no ME, there shouldn't be anyone else. He's mine!

I was so excited that I wanted to jump up and ripped off his clothes, tease his skin with my lips like he did mine, but I know that's just a wish. He would never allow it.

"I love you too. Very much." I replied.

He smiled brightly at me and I felt guilty. I feel like I owe him an explanation. I shouldn't act spoilt and neglect the right thing.

I tried to sit up, but he held me back. His gaze turned sharp immediately, "don't!" he said in a command tone.

Okay! he's being overprotective. "Ethan I'm fine." I said, but he shook his head in return and gesture for me to behave.

I took a deep sigh. Although my wound hurts; it's nothing. Nothing at all. I wonder what he would do when he witness my fight with Zika.

He beat me up, just like Aroma. It's like he's teaching a stubborn child an unforgettable lesson. These pains are minor to all that. I wouldn't pass out, if not for the blood lost, but how do I explain all that to him right now.

I gave in to him, as I didn't like the expression he had on now. I want him to smile. If pretending to be sick when I'm perfectly alright will make that happen, then so be it. At least, I will get to be with him all day.

Cool! I smiled at him and didn't struggle to get up. His gaze relaxed after.

"I didn't mean to." I began, which made him narrowed his eyes at me. He sat down on the bed and seem ready to listen to what I have to say.

I now understand that it's a good idea that I decided to explain myself. It seems he also wanted to know why I risked my life to get at Shane, but respected me and didn't query.

"He tried to assassinate my dad. I swear I only wanted to visit my parents and returned. I never planned to confront him. I.. lost it..when..my dad.." My words fell short and tears welled up in my eyes.

He leaned and kiss my eyes, "did you kicked his ass?" he asked.

Damn! he's spoiling me too much. I couldn't resist his charm. Well my tears weren't entirely real.

I mean seriously. I'm happy right now. I'm sure wherever that bastard is at presently, if he's still breathing, then he will be suffering.

I seriously don't regret going after him, even though it was very risky. Well, I lived. I didn't die so HELLO!

My mom can finally breathe. She can finally return home after being monitored all day and sleep freely, without a freak having his body wrapped around her.

My dad will be clear of suspicions, as he finally know who his enemy was.

But I still need to make Ethan belief I didn't mean it, but he actually understood. Damn! I'm gonna make a treat on his body after he stopped exaggerating about my health.

I stopped my fake tears and giggled. A gossip mode got activated in me. I began describing the scene of our fight.

Well, I exaggerated a little, but seeing him smiling, I began hyping things up. So many truths were exempted.

Like when he threw me against the wall and I couldn't get up. In my explanation, I got up quickly. All the moves I didn't get to use existed in my summary.

Those lies felt so real in my head, that I feel like Wonder woman. "This wound at my waist was his only achievement." I ended my half lie, half truth story, with a contented smile on my face.

The only thing I got in return was "hmm."

I sneered at him, "what?" I asked, but feeling embarrassed inside. 'Oh god! did he realize I was lying? so embarrassing.'

"If you managed to kick his ass, then it's cool. Let me prepare you something to eat, while your doctor check you out." he said.

No comment on my story humph! I coughed slightly. I could tell my face is getting flushed right now.

A liars heart won't settled, because we couldn't read the mind of the person we lied to. We will assume different scenarios and wouldn't feel relaxed after our word.

That's when we understand the value of speaking the truth, because no matter what! our heart is free.

"Where are we?" I asked. My answer knocked on the door and came in. Oh wait! I've heard her voice before. She came to invite Ethan to the dining.

F*ck! I'm still feeling guilty for lying. I just wanted us to talk about something else before he leaves.

Sarah smiled happily and hastened her steps towards me. "I'm so glad you're alright. Boss was so worried about you. I was worried too." She said, but couldn't bring herself to touch me, but I could see the urge to do so in her eyes.

Something finally took my mind off my fantasy story. "Thank you Sarah. I'm sorry for the worries." I said.

Ethan leaned and peck my lips. He winked at me, making my cheek burn, before walking towards the exit. That's after asking Sarah to stay with me.

She protested. She said she will go and make something for me to eat, but Ethan said he will do it.

Sarah hasn't gotten accustomed to this little job, high income thingy. She seem unpleased. "Sir, I should come and help." she said, making Ethan halted his steps.

"Don't worry, I can do it." He replied with a smile, which faded after Sarah spoke again.

"What about salt?" She asked.

Seeing Ethan embarrassed expression; I burst out into a mocking smile. Pulling out my tongue to make it more painful.

"Just stay with her!" he said flatly and slammed the door shut.

Sarah didn't find it funny at all. I stopped laughing when I accidentally fart in between my laughter. Okay! Sarah found that funny, while my smile faded instantly.

Praised the Lord that Ethan wasn't here.
