Chapter 247 - Again?

Sitting inside the tub, Diana stared at the shampoo foam intensely. Her mind was somewhere else.

Shane is gone now, how is tomorrow going to be? What's going to happen now?

Lots of questions kept popping up, while her heart kept beating against her chest.

There's a lot she has to do. Her foster parents need to be assured that they aren't getting in trouble because of her anymore and her grandma can walk about freely.

Those two cousins of hers, which she took their number and didn't plan to call when she did, she could finally call them now.

Her parents… she could finally meet them. How is it going to be like, when united with them? She didn't feel lonely like before, where she could portray the befitting emotions for their meeting.

Perhaps she has matured.

What about her relationship with Ethan? how is going to be now? what and what are they going to do after today?

She felt overwhelmed by the entire stuff. It felt like her life is restarting now. A new beginning as people would put it.

Diana returned to her senses as she got to Ethan's part. She began cleaning herself, with her heart free. She felt very contented and couldn't thank Ethan enough for this.

If Shane had really died, just like the newspaper said, she will never get over that unjust feeling. She's willing to make the man happy from now on.

After cleaning herself, she changed into her bathrobe and headed toward her closet to change into her clothes.

She recalled Ethan mentioning that she has a message and glanced at the direction of her phone, which laid on her computer table.

She wondered who it could be, as only certain people had access to the line.

After changing into her clothes, which consists of a brown knee length office skirt and white long sleeve shirt, she headed towards where her phone laid and swipe it open, only to see Aroma's name displayed.

Her gaze turned serious as she read the message which goes thus…

'Your life is being targeted by someone dangerous, so forget about staying for a while at that place. Someone will come get you tonight.

You will be staying at the base in the country, as this one is still under renovation. Ask your boyfriend to return, as you won't get to step foot outside the country till everything is sorted out.

I have something to do, so do as I say for now and wait till I come over, so you could learn what this is all about.'

Diana's eyes widened after reading the message. Her first thought was, 'again?'

Why can't she have peace of mind for a whole week? she was actually wondering how tomorrow is going to be and now she got the answer.

She will be hiding from whoever that was. Who had she offended again? why is everything so complicated?

But this time, she didn't feel fear. She has passed the stage where threat on her life would make her feel down.

If such a person existed, he/she will die like Shane did. She just knew the time to reunite with those people has been suspended again, but she's not going to hide like they wish.

Nathan has promised that as long as Shane is no more, she can leave the organization. She needed to know who the person was and see if she can get to him/her first.

She's never going to let someone control her life for her again. Someone can't use threat to measure where she should or should not stepped on.

She look determined and knew she should do as Aroma said first. She won't allow another Shane to disturb her life.

She dropped the phone and went to her dresser, and began drying her hair when she heard Ethan's footsteps approaches.

She's not surprised that he's back so quickly, as she spent a lot of time in the bathroom. She can't believe they are departing so soon.

She thought they were still going to have a week to spend together and now this urgency came up.

Ethan stepped in, with his hair damp and permed all the way back, dressed in a casual outfits, consisting of cream colour chinos trousers and sky blue T-shirt, which tally with his eyes hue.

They both smile softly as their gazes locked. Getting to where she sat, he took the hand dryer from her hand and helped her continued drying the hair.

Diana just kept looking at him in the mirror, as the sound of the dryer won't allow him to hear what she has to say.

Immediately he turned off the dryer, "Why do you like helping me with my hair?" she asked.

She doesn't plan on making him know someone else is after her again. The guy needed to stop worrying about her and it's about time she try fighting her fight alone and only ask for help when it's really needed, not seating down and await someone taking the risks.

And also, if they should part ways, it should be on a happy mood, not sour one.

Ethan chuckled softly and run his fingers through her hair, "they are rare and beautiful. I want to touch them always." he said, glad that she's acting freely, not knowing something else has came up, which doesn't make Shane's own worth thinking of.

Diana chuckled softly, "thank you so much." she said, as he has already reached for a comb.

Ethan look up, gazing at her from the mirror and raised his brows questioningly.

"For everything." Diana added.

"Anything for you." Ethan replied, not arguing with her.

After a few moments of putting her thoughts together, while Ethan was busy applying oil to her hair and styling it, she finally spoke up.

"Ethan, I'm leaving for the camp tonight." she said.

She watched as his happy expression while styling her shrinked, till it vanished. She looked up at her, "what!"

He wasn't expecting it at all. Seeing this, Diana tried to act as natural as possible. "Common, we agreed to let me say goodbye to my colleagues. I only have to stay for probably a month or so." she said, since she had no idea how long it's gonna take.

"Why today all of a sudden?" Ethan asked, not feeling so good that he won't wake up under the same roof as her tomorrow.

Diana smiled softly, "Ethan, let's do this once and for all and finally be together." she said.

"Can I hold you till tonight?" he asked, not having any choice than to give in.

She nodded her head and watch him continued with what he's doing, but his expression remain pensive.

They were busy deluding themselves when Austin had just left his villa to begin his plan on getting them.
