A Dive to Remember

Chapter 20

Chiara's pov,
The lies that this woman in front of me spun was not surprising at all, I knew she would not accept the truth about killing my mom and my clan, she tried to play the victim card on me. Her behavior did  nothing to suppress my anger, but I kept quiet and acted normally.
My anger almost burst out when she faked a tear and made a false promise of keeping me safe, but I smiled ruefully and nodded along, This was going to be fun.

She took me to a beautiful garden, I would have definitely enjoyed if I was alone. It truly was uniquely beautiful with the flower arrangements and the various uniquely shaped bushes, with the swans swimming freely in the pond and the ice cream vendors on the gates.

Everything seemed blissful, so I took my mind of my growing anger and focused on Nature's beauty.
I didn't know when I held her hand, but I instantly felt butterflies, I instantly let go but for some reason I didn't want to.

Ignoring the silent fight in my mind, I walked ahead of her looking everywhere in curiosity.
