I woke up and saw that it was past midday. Last night, Marshall had thrown a party for Diana to pay off her debt and I had acted in a very stupid way. I needed to apologize to her. As soon as possible. I got up and took a shower very fast. I got dressed and ran down to eat something and then immediately left to go to her office.
When I got there, I was surprised that she hired a secretary.
– Good afternoon\, Mr. King. How can I help you? – she asked me politely.
– Good afternoon. I would like to speak to my cousin. – I answered.
– Just a moment I will announce it to you personally. – She said as she got up from her chair and walked to the door of Diana’s office.
In less than a minute, she returned saying that I could come in. Upon entering, I realized that Diana was very busy with all the work and decided to be as quick and direct as possible with her. I stood by the door without approaching her and started speaking.
– Diana\, I want to …
– Tobias\, I really don’t want to hear an apology from you. If you came here just for that\, you can leave now. – She said interrupting me while organizing the papers on the table without giving me a look if you want.
– I wanted to apologize and invite you to dinner. – I said standing in the same place.
I realized that she was not very happy with that conversation and was almost preparing to leave her office when I heard her deep breath.
– I won’t be able to have dinner with you today. I have an appointment at night. Sorry for my rudeness\, but I was really upset with your way of acting yesterday. I hate your jealousy little scenes\, Tobias. – she replied and I knew she was right.
– I know\, I know. But I can’t control myself\, Diana. I love you and I don’t want to lose you to someone else. – I replied as I approached his table.
At that moment she got up and I stopped where I was.
– Okay. I just want you to change the way you act. Now I need to go. – she said as she motioned with her hand for me to leave her office.
I confess that I was very sad with all the coldness with which she was treating me. But deep down I understood her reasons. Then I walked over to her, hugged her and shortly after I kissed her on the forehead.
– See you at home. – I said as I walked towards the door.
She didn’t say anything to me. She just gave me a small smile and I closed the door and got out of there as quickly as possible. I understood that she wanted to have her space and I would give it to her so she could think of everything she needed.
I took the elevator back to the hotel garage, got in my car and returned home. When I got there, I locked myself in my room and kept thinking of ways to control my jealousy. Marshall was just her friend, but I knew that he wanted to be much more. I could see in his eyes that he was enchanting with Diana.
I fell asleep for the rest of the afternoon and woke up just for dinner. Diana had said she had an appointment at night, so I was waiting for her all night in the living room, but she didn’t come home. time passed, the more worried I became.
When it was past lunchtime, I decided to grab my car keys and go after her. When I opened the door, she was about to enter and I felt a brief relief. I hugged her so tightly, it felt like my body was going to collapse. on her.
– Where have you been ? I was dying of worry. I was already leaving to look for you. – I said still hugging her.
– I was with Marshall the whole time. – she replied and I felt my body harden at that moment.
– All the time ? – I asked with my hands on his shoulders while looking into his eyes.
– Yes. – she replied seriously.
At that moment, it felt like the floor of my feet was gone. She had spent the night with another man and I didn’t know what had happened or what hadn’t happened. That’s when I decided that I needed to regain her trust in me. once and for all. I was going to tell my secrets that I couldn’t bear to keep anymore. She said something I didn’t hear. I just saw that she was about to enter the house when I took one of her hands and dragged her into the my car.
– Tobias\, you are hurting me. – she said
– I need to talk to you\, but it can’t be here. – I answered.
– Why not? – she asked
– Because my father is at home. – I replied while getting in the car.
I drove for a few minutes. Just enough to have a safe conversation out of my dad’s eyes.
– Remember I told you six years ago that one day I would tell you three of my secrets? – I asked without looking at her.
– Yes. – she replied and I felt her eyes on me.
– I’ll tell you now. – I replied finally looking into his eyes.
But I regretted it when I said that. I had my doubts about her being the Frost Witch. What if she did something to me? But now it was too late. I spent so much time thinking about what to say, she ended up getting impatient.
– When do you intend to start? – she asked.
– I’ll start with the easiest. – I asked.
– I’m all ears. – she answered.
– Well. The first of all is no longer a secret. I’m in love with you. But I wanted to speak with all the lyrics. – I said and right after that I paused.
– Could you please not speak slowly\, Tobias? – She asked me.
– I’m sorry\, but I’m nervous about all this. I decided to tell you everything on an impulse. Can I count the other two when I’m more prepared for this? And these secrets are not even mine. – I talked.
– No. You started and now you will finish. she said and I saw the anger starting to form in her eyes.
– Since this is so\, can I tell you why I want to tell you all of this out of the blue? – I asked.
– Speak. – She said and immediately breathed deeply.
– I was feeling that I was losing you. And I wanted you to see me as a trustworthy figure. I wanted you to know that you could count on me for anything. – I commented looking into his eyes.
– Tobias\, you never lost me. And I know I can trust you …
– What’s that on your neck? – I interrupted her when I saw several purple marks all over her neck.
– Some brands acquired last night. – she replied while trying to hide them.
– How did this happen ? – I asked while trying to count how many brands there were. There were at least ten.
– Marshall. – she replied without looking at me.
– Diana\, you … – I couldn’t ask the question until the end.
I knew what had happened between them last night. Apparently, I had already lost Diana myself. I felt a pain in my heart. I felt a tear come down my face and dried it as quickly as possible.
– I’ll tell you the second secret. – I said.
– You can talk. – she answered.
– I don’t know how to give you this news. I searched for words so that when the time came\, I would tell you without you feeling sad about what I’m going to tell you\, but I didn’t find it. – I said while holding one of his hands.
– I promise I’ll be strong. – she said looking at me.
– My father asked me to seduce you so that we could have access to your inheritance. – I told.
– But why did he want my inheritance? she asked\, confused.
– Because he killed his parents so he could stay with the Kingdom group and have all the money from the King family. – I said quickly.
I gave her time to process all that information and then I started talking.
– I know you must be confused\, sad and very angry to know all this now\, but …
– I already knew everything. – she said looking at the floor of the car.
– What ? – I asked in amazement.
– I said I already knew everything. she repeated.
– How is this possible ? – I asked even more amazed.
– As you told me everything\, I will also tell you. – she said.
– I can’t understand\, Diana. – I said.
– I will speak with very simple words so that you can understand everything. – she answered.
– It’s all right. – I said.
– I am the Cold Witch. – I counted.
– What ? – I asked perplexed.
Then she started to tell everything that had happened to her. From the flight from her home to Hill of the Moon, until her return and the beginning of the deaths in the King family. I wanted to understand her, but I couldn’t. I just tried to think of some way to get back at her, even though she was the woman I love. I took advantage of the fact that I carried a pocketknife and started to pretend.
– Forgive me. – I said.
– What ? – she asked me confused.
– Everything bad that happened to you\, it’s my father’s fault. You didn’t deserve any of this Diana. – I said looking into your eyes with the softest possible expression.
– You don’t have to ask for forgiveness for anything\, Tobias. Whoever did all this to me and my country\, it was your father and not you. I should ask you for forgiveness for the suffering I caused you because of my desire for revenge. – she said looking at me.
– Please. Let’s forget about it and try to live a normal life\, just a little. – I said as I pulled her to hug her.
She hugged me back. She really trusted me. Without her realizing it, I took the knife out of my pocket and stuck it in her abdomen. I saw the surprise in her eyes for not expecting an attack like that right now.
– I learned to act with the best. Damn the Cold Witch. – I whispered to her.
I opened the passenger door, kicked her in the chest to push her out of the car, started and got out right away. But I regretted it. I wasn’t like that. I had no reason to kill her. the right to take revenge on my father and I loved her. I couldn’t leave her alone there. Surely she had hit her head very hard.
I decided to turn around with the car. But even before I executed what I had thought, I lost control of the car, it overturned and my vision darkened. When I regained consciousness it was almost night and I was upside down inside the car. I managed to get out without getting hurt anymore and I saw that she had frozen the fuel so that the car wouldn’t catch fire. She still cared about myself after the act of cheating that I had committed. I started walking as fast as possible, but My leg hurt. It took me a long time to get home and when I arrived, the door was locked. I saw that the windows were frozen. The way I tried to open the door was at the base of the kick. I had to give about fifteen kicks. I managed to open it. When I entered, Diana was sitting on the sofa in the living room with her bags beside her.
– Where do you think you’re going? – I asked.
– I have nothing else to do here. – she answered me.
– I haven’t finished talking to you yet. – I said and started walking towards her.
– Tobias\, if you try something against me\, this time I will not spare you. – she said.
So I started running and hugged her, but she pushed me away.
– I won’t fall for it again. – she said while transforming her right arm into a kind of ice sheet.
– Calm down\, I just want to talk to you. – I said taking a step back with my hands up.
– Speak.- she said.
– I acted impulsively\, without thinking. I was very angry to know that you were doing this to my family and I didn’t want to hear and understand your reasons. I always distrusted you. thought for thinking that if it were true\, I wouldn’t know what to do. And at the time I really didn’t know and the decision I made was the worst reaction I could have at the moment. – I knelt on the floor and kept talking. – Diana\, I really love you and I don’t care who you are or who you killed. Please marry me. – I said.
She approached me, helped me up and said:
– Your father is dead up there.
– My marriage proposal was my third secret. – I said while I couldn’t contain the hate forming inside me.
– I would never marry a person who stabbed me while hugging me\, making me think I had really been forgiven. – she replied without any emotion.
– I understand your reasons. And I beg your pardon now\, please. – I begged.
– The love I have for you keeps you alive. But I don’t want to have anything more with you\, Tobias. – she said.
– Diana ? – I heard Marshall call for her.
– I’m going. – she answered.
– Please\, Diana. – I asked once more taking your hand.
– Goodbye\, Tobias. – she said while releasing her hand from mine.
At that moment she walked over to the couch and took her bags. She passed me again without looking at me and I watched her leave the house. Then I went up the stairs and went to look for my father’s body. strong smell of blood there and I went into her office when I saw the door open. As soon as I entered, I came across the brutal way she had murdered my father, beheaded. I couldn’t contain the tears of sadness when I saw him. it that way, but I understood it perfectly. It was a pity that I didn’t understand her at the right time. I called the police and said I didn’t know who had done that. After all, I had no evidence against her. She had taken care of everything. The experts collected all the fingerprints present in the place and the result came out very quickly, all of them were from my father. Even a weapon that was found in the place, a weapon that I never saw, had his fingerprints.
When the cops left, I called Rose and asked her to take care of all the funeral arrangements. I wouldn’t be able to do all that. Despite the events, I texted Diana.
“- Maybe you don’t want to go, but tomorrow is my father’s burial. I understand you had your differences with him, but it would be very important for me to have your presence in my life that day even if it is the last time. love you Diana. “
It took a while, but she answered me.
“- I will.”
Just the fact that she answered my message made me happy. And after that, I went to rest to go to my father’s burial the next day. I was waiting for her for hours, but unfortunately she didn’t show up.
