.................... . ............

Diana successfully escaped the house she lived when she noticed that she was tracked, and this time their guess was right. She was out of nowhere since her house was isolated, the place had no one to call a neighbour and the main road was just three kilometres away, but finding a way to get there without being caught by her beloved husband and brother was hard. She had to take her chances before things get serious.

She held her high heels and purse on her left hand and the other hand was to keep her balance, she started running and stopping in every bush for her breath, she was scared of small insects but at that time her adrenaline worked nice.

After a very hard work Diana did she didn't know where she was going but her mind brought her to Adeline's pizzeria, which was just about to close down in five minutes. She entered inside finding Adeline or Helen but instead she found no one she knew. "Miss, how can we help you we are about to close for today?" The girl with brunette curls asked her, she was kept in charge for that night.
"Can I talk to Adeline or Helen" Diana asked politely and her face showing signs of tiredness, "they are out today but I'll call them for you. What is your name miss?" The girl understood that the lady needed her bosses urgently.
"Diana" Diana replied.

Alex cut the line with a sigh, he just informed Logan about his mysterious wife appearance, "What was that all about?" Adeline asked before her phone rang, they looked at each other then she decided to take it. "Hello" Adeline said informing the phone has been answered, "Madam, there is a lady named Diana wanting to see you" the girl said, "at this hour?" Adeline asked starting to be curious to whatever happened. "It looks urgent" the girl said back, "I can't come but I'll send Helen instead" she answered knowing that if she go meet up with Diana right now she'll be in big trouble.

It was Alex's turn to ask after the phone was disconnected "What was that?" Adeline startled at first but she came up with an answer "it's an emergency at the pizzeria but i am going to send Helen" she said going up to find Helen.

She opened the door finding his son safely sleeping. "I was getting out, he just slept while fantasizing about his family, he is such a wonderful lucky boy" Helen said.
"I know but sister you have to go to the pizzeria it looks like Diana needs us, she told me not to mention her to Alex and...." Adeline was cut off by Helen's nod "I know, I understand, I'll go."
Helen was getting herself ready which was a two minute thing and off she went.

"You did not answer my question Alex what is happening, your face looks too tensed up" Adeline said, "it's Diana, she is missing, and we were so close at finding her" after hearing that Adeline felt guilt rising in her heart. "Her husband is worked up and now he is miserable just like I was when you went out of my life, his funds will soon go down if he doesn't look out, we need to find her soon or that mad man will kill himself" Alex explained the situation which Diana left to the people who loved her too much. While Adeline's guilt kept increasing and she felt the need to talk to Diana first thing in the morning but for right now she needed to change the topic .

"Everything will be alright with time" she said making Alex relax and out of worries. "But who is this guy who is about to kill himself if I might help him" Adeline asked to feed her curiosity. "You have no idea, his name is Logan Barrette, he is CEO of Barrette Inc and he funds orphanage centers and schools, he also manages two high Universities" Alex explained about him in details "interesting" Adeline said looking at the time "it's late now you need...." Adeline was cut off mid sentence only to realize Alex's lips on hers "no, I want to take the night with you, after four years I've been in hell, today I found the peace in me, I don't want to leave"

Adeline did not want to take things fast only to give herself hopes that this is forever "I want to go step by step with this. You need to go" Adeline said without looking at him.
"I'll never leave you again no matter what happens" Alex said understanding what Adeline meant.

The next morning came and Adeline's first thought was Dian, she prepared herself, made Nathan ready for school and all the necessary things, Sara took Nathan to school, Helen and Mart were having their day. And she was the one having the work today. After a seven minutes drive she reached her destination, and went directly to her office realising it is where Diana had her night, "Diana" she called out. Diana wasn't even sleeping her eyes were puffy and filled with tears, "don't tell me you cried all night" Diana couldn't reply to her. "We need to talk" Adeline said while Diana just nodded.

"I need you to return back to your husband, he is going mad" Adeline said. "I am just not ready to face him" Diana said. "When will you be then. Your husband is facing a lot of problems now, I think he needs you, it's worth trying" Adeline kept on convincing, "What if...." Diana was cut off "if we start thinking about of 'what if ' I wouldn't have given myself a chance with your brother, do you think my life was a piece of cake sweet and smooth. What is the worst that could happen, being rejected by a mad man who will soon loose everything or watching the one who is madly in love with you vanishing with ashes" Adeline's words pierced Diana, "I'll think about it" Diana said while breaking into tears. "There is no thinking, it's either you return or I break up with your brother because I feel like I'm betraying him"

Sara entered Alex's office about to inform him that "Mr. Gale there is a lady insisting to see you........."
"It's not just a lady it's her new fiancée......"
