BY ISABELLA LIBRARY

The next morning, Diana opened her eyes and stared at the room confusedly wondering where she was.

“You are awake”. Maya interrupted her from the doorstep as she walked in with a tray of breakfast.

Diana sat upright on the bed and stared at her confusedly.

” Where am I? How did I get here?”. She asked.

“Is a long story actually, we saved you from the hands of some hooligans who try to harass you, you blank out and we decided to bring you home”. Maya explain.

” Who are you?”.

“Um–” She got interrupted.

“Her name is Maya and she is my fiancee”. Jayden said as he walked in.

” Jayden?”Diana called surprisedly.

“I can see you are awake”. he said.

” Thank you for saving me last night”. She said.

“You are welcome”. he replied.

” Look, I made you breakfast, you need to eat to regain your strength”.Maya said.

“Thank you”. she said.

” Sure, enjoy”. She left and Jayden followed her behind.

An hour later, Diana came to the kitchen to ask about the whereabouts of Jayden, the girls were in shock to see her.

“Ms.Diana?”Linda called surprisedly.

“Hey ladies, it’s been a while”. She said smiling at them.

” You are back? How do you get in here?”. Andrea asked.

“I was brought in here last night by Jayden, by the way, where is he? I need to talk to him?”. She asked.

” He is at the poolside with Ms.Maya”. Lucy replied.

“OK, I will catch up with you girls later”. She said and walked away.

” Oh my gosh, why is she back?”Amma asked confusedly.

“I sense trouble”. Linda said.

” Me too”. Lucy replied.

“But why did Mr. Williams bring her back to this house”. Andrea said.

” Her staying here will not end well”. Linda said and they sighed tiredly.

Jayden and Maya were having their quiet moment when Diana came over looking nervous.

“Hey”. She said and they turned to her.

” Hey, why are you out here?”. Maya asked knowing fully well she needed to rest.

“I came to talk to you”.

” About what?”Jayden asked.

“I”. she sighed sadly.” I just want you to give me a chance to live here, I don’t have anywhere else to go to”. She fell on her knees sobbing.”You have to help me Jayden, I have been homeless, with no money to sustain my health, you are my only hope, I don’t want to die on the street, please grant me this last wish”. She pleads with sincerity in her eyes. Jayden and Maya stare confusedly at her.

Later in the day…….

Jayden’s Bedroom

Maya was staring at Jayden as he stood near the window lost in thought.

“I will support whatever decision you make”. Maya said and Jayden turned to her.” I know is going to be difficult for you for her to be staying here, I also know her presence here brings back old memories, so, whatever choice you make, I will stand by you”. She added. Jayden moved to her on the bed and kissed her forehead before caressing her in his arms.

“Thank you, Maya, thank you for always standing by me”. he said sincerely.

************

Diana was pestering around the room thinking of what Jayden would do.

” Please, let him give me a second chance”. She said and then there was a knock on the door. Jayden entered.”Hey”. she said nervously.

“I have made my decision, you can stay “. He said and Diana’s face brightened up.

” Really? Thank you so much”. She said as tears filled her eyes. “Thank you”.

” Take a rest”. he walks away.

“Yes! Thank you, God” ” She fell on the bed happily.

” Thank you, I thought you would be coming with us”.Maya asked.

“I don’t want to ruin the fun, you guys should have fun”. She said.

” Ok, see ya”. Maya said and she walked away with Jayden.

Diana smiled after them, for a week she had been staying here, she had noticed the distance Jayden had been giving her, he didn’t talk to her or try to come close to her. When she saw the necklace on Maya’s neck, she bled and she remembered seeing the same necklace in one of Jayden’s books in his study room when they were still together.

Three years back…….

“Wow, Jayden, I found this necklace in one of your books in your study room, who owns it?”. Diana asked and Jayden took it from her.

“Really? It’s beautiful, but what did she say you should do with it?”.

” She asked me to give it to the woman after my heart”. he said and Diana blushed.

“Are you indirectly saying I am the woman?”. She asked nervously and Jayden took her tenderly.
