Chapter Edited by Kuroe_Chan.

...

A young man sat on a couch. with his legs crossed. With his startling blue eyes and blonde hair, he emitted a dangerous aura. He look pissed over something, as he constantly ruffled his hair with his palm, frowning his devilishly handsome face.

A knock was heard on the door. ”Who is it?” The man asked.

”Aroma,” a lady's voice was heard.

”Come in,” the young man said.

A tall lady opened the door and went inside. She looked hot and could be easily mistaken as a model with her incredible height and statuesque body. With her smokey makeup, long black hair tied in a ponytail, all black trousers and blouse, and her zip-up high heels, she looked like the epitome of a femme fatale. She walked closer to where the man was sitting, her bum swaying left and right.

”He left?” the man asked.

”Yeah, a few hours ago. What are you going to do Nathan? He always manages to locate the country you're in.” The lady said, taking her seat opposite Nathan.

”He never gives up since young. Prepare my return to the country with everyone,” he ordered. ”Let's see how he finds me right under his nose” Nathan smirked.

”What if you accidentally run into him?” Aroma asked.

”Don't worry, he wouldn't think I would return to the country. Let him have fun trying to find me outside the country while I catch my breath for a while. I'm getting tired of this game of hide and seek.”

”Ok boss!” Aroma stood up and left.

”Mom, aren't you being too much? How can you not eat the food when it was specially prepared for  you?” Thomas asked exasperatedly.

”Shut up! Why aren't you letting her eat with you guys? Are you casting her aside?” Grandma asked.

”She and Rihanna behave like day and night. They never want to see each other. You don't expect me to send my daughter away for her, or do you?” Thomas asked.

”You! She's not your daughter? Then why did you even pick her up in the first place if you can't accept her as yours?” Grandma said, glaring at him.

”We wanted to, but it's hard mom. Ever since we picked her up, everything is just weird. I don't even know who she is! We were given such a huge amount of money to leave town with her. But after leaving, I still feel like we are being monitored.

Each time I had some issues at my workplace and was expecting a sack letter or something similar, I ended up getting a promotion the following week.

It's like we are raising her on someone's behalf. Do you know how scared I get whenever she had a seizure? If the people she belongs to could do tricks and made everything easy for us, they could also make things equally awful.

What do you think will happen if she mistakenly gets hurt? She's like a time bomb, the more they help us on her behalf, the more I get worried., Plus, it proves one thing: she is not  my daughter and her parents could claim her anytime. And you still want me to take her side and not my real daughter's?” Thomas said, his eyes getting red.

His wife delivered her baby a week after they picked Diana off that isolated street.

Before they settled at their home after leaving the hospital, someone came to find them and gave them a huge sum of money and asked them to leave town as soon as possible with Diana, and to never let her return to the town.

They took the money and left as instructed, leaving grandma alone in town, as she claims she wanted to stay and promise to visit them once in a while.

They started raising the two girls as a twin, but still noticed they are being monitored. They never lacked anything, which made Thomas and Rachael feel uncomfortable. They wanted Diana as their child, but those people who took care of their problems, making their life easy, made them feel like Diana is not theirs and will never ever be.

”Why didn't you reject the money then?” Grandma asked. She's not buying his explanations at all.
