Games Of Destiny

chapter twenty

" you see I knew she didn't care about us, she was only pretending all along after everything we've done for her " he hissed at me angrily, aunt looked really confused now,' please don't believe what he just said aunt ' I thought.

"No! that's not true and you know it, I know that I'm in dept to you for everything that you did for me, it's something I'll never forget. If I had any other way then I'll do it but please don't ask me to sell this necklace its the only thing that I have left of my family, please" I pleaded as I said evey word more tears pour out of my eyes, I've never cried this much before.

" oh cut that crap Ariana, if you really cared then you won't even think twice before selling it" Clara spat, oh God so much hate!

" I promise to look for another way and I'll do whatever I have to do, to get the money, that I promise you" I said trying to convince them that I'll do what ever it takes to get the money, I wish they will just agree this once.

" OK fine, we'll try to raise half of the money while you raise the other half" uncle suggested.

" if doing this will make you guys happy then I'll do it, it's the least I could do for all your help and care that you've giving me." I said and saw uncle Gary smirk at me, why don't he like me?

" OK good! Its better you get started now" Clara said walking passed me and left the clinic.

" you have two months" uncle said and left, aunt just went back to the ward, Diego excused himself, its just me and Monica now, she hugged me tightly while I started to sob again.

DIEGO'S POV

I was really angry when Ariana was asked to sell her necklace, she had to suffer so much in this village, when the bitch that put her in this position is having a good time back at home. Yes I know Ariana and I also know that she doesn't belong here, I was shocked when I first saw her here when Monica first introduced me to her. I was the leader of the gang that threw her off the cliff, I knew that she wouldn't die but I didn't expect that she would end up here.

I thought she recognized me the first time she saw me but she didn't, I don't know why faith played this game on me, a part of me wanted to take her back home but a bigger part didn't. I don't know why I don't want her to go back, maybe because if she returned back home she could remember again, or her sister might plan to kill her again, uuurgh! who am I kidding?I dont want her to go back or even regain her memory because, I think I've fallen in love with her. I know its wrong but the heart wants what it wants, I can't do anything about it, I guess that's why I couldn't bring myself to kill her back then.

Ring! My phone buzzed and I picked it up, it is my best friend in New york and also the second in command of our gang. His name is Mark, he is three years younger than me, he knows everything about me and he was the first person to tell me that I had developed feelings for Ariana, though I didn't believe it at first but being with her this whole time just confirm it, I'm officially in love with a woman whom I don't deserve. She made me want to become a better person, I sighed and answered the idiot on the other line.

" what do you want this time Mark?" I asked him tiredly, he really gets on my nerves sometimes.

" nothing just wanted to know how you're doing" he said sarcastically, " hell there's a reason I called, Emily had been on our neck about you. She wants to know why you aren't picking her calls" he said yelling at me on the phone, who does he think he is to talk to me like that, he's lucky I'm not around right now to smack his stupid head.

" and what does she wants this time around? Aren't we done with her? We've done what she wants so tell her to fuck off! " I said yelling at the end

" yeah about that, you know we didn't really finished the job right?" He said, he's right about that, yes we didn't finish the job and I can imagine her threatening me about it, but she can do nothing about it and if she dares come on my way, then she will regret it.
