I woke up to hear Tobias’ soft voice calling me. When I opened my eyes, he smiled at me, but it didn’t seem like what he wanted to do. He seemed a little tense. I was curious because of the puzzled look in his eyes.
We had already arrived home when he woke me up. Then he said something that made me nervous:
– Diana\, can I ask you a question and you answer me in all your sincerity? – he asked me without looking at me.
– Of course yes. – I replied looking at him.
– What were you dreaming about? – Asked me without looking at me again.
– Nothing.Why? – I answered.
When I heard your question, I was confused. I didn’t remember dreaming anything. Did something happen?
– I heard you talking while sleeping on death and revenge\, so I was curious. – he replied.
– Ah. That happened a lot when I was a child. My mother told me that I talked while sleeping. But I never remembered what I was dreaming about. – I replied and was sincere in my answer.
I already knew what the next question would be if he had the courage to ask it. I felt my heart speed up more and more as the seconds passed.
Tobias could not under any circumstances discover the whole truth now. If he did, I would have to kill him there at that moment. And it would hurt me too much.
– Can I ask you just one more question? – he asked me breaking the silence.
– Sure\, go ahead. – I replied sounding as calm as possible.
– Diana\, do you have any involvement in the deaths of Edward and Victoria? – He asked me staring into my eyes.
– No. It doesn’t make any sense for me to be involved in their death. Why would I do that to them? – I told him while making the tears appear in my eyes.
– I don’t even know what to say. Please forgive me for this stupidity. – he said as he came to pull me slowly to hug me.
I pushed him away and ran out of his car crying. Upon entering the house, I ran up the stairs ignoring my uncle who was asking me what had happened. I went into my room and locked myself.
A few minutes later I heard Tobias’ distant voice speaking to his father:
– Not now\, dad.
Soon after, he knocked on my bedroom door and tried to open the door.
– Diana. Please open that door. Let’s talk. – he said and by the tone of his voice\, he seemed sorry.
– Tobias\, I really want to be alone. Tomorrow we talked about it. Good night. – I replied and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
Even with the bathroom door closed, I could still hear his voice calling me in the hall.
I had to get that suspicion out of his mind anyway. I didn’t want to kill him either at that moment or at any time. inside the house, he came so close to discovering it was very dangerous.
– Damn the time I dozed off. – I whispered under the shower.
I dried my hair and put on the wig. I couldn’t risk anyone coming into my room and seeing my white hair in any way. I put on my sleepwear and lay on the bed. I wondered how wonderful my day had been.
The park, the boat ride, the snack, those words from Tobias on the Ferris Wheel and even dinner. They popped into my mind whenever I closed my eyes. I had the feeling that I was falling in love again.
When I had this thinking, I was in a panic.
I couldn’t do that. Falling in love with Tobias, my cousin, would be my sadness. He was included in my vigil. How could I think of something like that?
One day I will have to take his life myself, how could I be so careless?
– I can only be crazy. – I said to myself while shaking my head in an attempt to get that thought out of my mind.
I realized that the curtains in the room were open so I got up to close them.
When I looked outside the window, I saw Tobias’s car passing through the entrance gate. Where would he go so late at night? It was after 9 pm.
I set the alarm clock on my cell phone to ring two hours later so that I could study the investments of the Prince family, owner of the Paradise group, on the same night and lay down. Soon I fell asleep.
When my cell phone woke up, I didn’t have enough disposition to get up to do what was planned. I just went to the window to see if Tobias had returned. His car was standing next to the front door of the house. I went down the stairs to the kitchen to get a glass of water. Tobias was sitting on the chair next to the kitchen counter. When he saw me, he practically jumped out of his chair and stood up in an instant.
– Diana\, I want to apologize to you again. – he told me with a sad look.
I wasn’t really upset with him. I did it just to take your attention off the mistrust he had earlier. This time it worked. How many more times will I be lucky?
– Tobias\, I was very sad with your distrust of me. It hurt me a lot. – I said with my back to him while trying to get a glass that was in the cupboard above the sink.
I couldn’t do it, so he came over and picked it up for me.
– But it’s over. You don’t need to apologize for that anymore. – I said looking into your eyes finally.
He opened his arms like he was asking if he could give me a hug.
I hugged him myself and he wrapped his arms around me. We stayed in that position for a few minutes. I didn’t want to let him go. But I had to go back to my room.
– I’m going back to my room. See you tomorrow. – I said while filling my glass with water.
– See you. – he replied with a smile.
As I walked up the stairs, I felt the impression of being watched. It couldn’t be Tobias, he stayed in the kitchen even after I left. When I turned down the hall, I heard my uncle’s door closing.
He was looking to see if Tobias was doing his job properly.
It irritated me. I really wanted to get rid of my uncle as soon as possible, but I didn’t want to ruin my cover, let alone my plan.
I went into my room, locked my door again, put the glass on the nightstand next to the bed and lay down.
I fell asleep once more as I remembered my day. My sixteenth birthday. March 30th.
