Games Of Destiny

chapter sixteen

" mom!  and what do you mean by that?" I asked crossing my hands on my chest, mom was like our enemy she was always against us, always supporting that stranger.

" well let's just say that I had my own reasons for always supporting her" she started and came closer to us

" I did what a good person would do by helping her and giving her shelter because she had no one here, I'm sure that you all know by now that Ariana must belong in another country, everything about her is great she's beautiful, intelligent, she looks educated and nothing like any of us here" she said looking at me, every word she said hurt me but I nodded for her to continue.

" I know that with just one look at her and any man can fall for her" ouch! that used to be me, I hate her she took my place. " so that was why when she woke up, I didn't want her out of the house at least until you have reached your goal of getting the king to like you, but you spoiled that Gary, you said something to her that made her to feel bad and wanted to start working "she finished lightly glaring at dad, ooooooh! that explains a lot.

" continue " I said nodding my head, ' this just got interesting' I thought, I can't believe mom was on my side all along, yay!

" so I thought about it and decide that she should work for me and only by putting on a veil, that way I can keep an eye on her and no one would see her face like I said till you have gotten your king" she said smirking, I have never seen this side of mom before, so...devious, I thought laughing and they all joined me.

" you see my dear, your mom is on our side" dad said putting his arm around me and kissed my cheek, I feel so loved.

" thanks mom " I said and hugged her tightly, " and I'm sorry for ever doubting your love for me" I apologised, and yes since Ariana came into the picture I have been having crazy thoughts.

" no problem my child anything for you, let's go inside " she said, and with that we went to bed, I slept happily with a smiling face.

ARIANA'S POV

" hey beautiful " someone said, and I thought for a second that it was 'nobody' and yes that's his name for me, I laughed at that.

" wow! I didn't know you like it when I call you beautiful " I turned to see Diego grinning from ear to ear, oh if only you know what I was thinking.

" and what were you thinking? " he asked, OK i'v got to stop saying my inner thoughts out loud.

" oh nothing Diego, how are you doing?" I asked changing the subject, we were outside the flower shop, and I offered him a seat and we sat down, aunt wasn't here yet.

" I'm doing great, just thought I pay you a visit" he said

" oh thank you, actually I thought you came to see Clara" I said and later regretted it cause he looked angry.

" how did you know?" then realisation him, " oh aunt told you right? " and I laughed hard and his expression softened, I'm glad he is in a good mood again.

" you make me happy " he said and I blush.

" no I mean it, your happiness is contagious, you are special Ari " he finished and I couldn't help but look at him perplexed

" no one has called me that before and now that you did it sounds so familia" I said, he looked taken aback a bit then he masked it with a smile, oh he was good.

" oh really um I didn't know that, I want to get a rose" he said getting up and started looking around the flowers, trying to change the topics huh!

" so I want a white rose " he decided, then I got it for him,
