DIANA
What was I thinking? I didn’t even care to examine his past. I should have left when I had the chance.
“How could I leave? All this secrets were buried up somewhere, far from reach. How could I have known?”
Fuck! my whole life is ruined, I made love to him, I gave him my body over and over again. I was ready to spend my life with him. It all ends tonight.
If Branden is really responsible for the death of my parents then I’d kill myself, I’ll commit suicide.
I have nothing to live for, how can I break this news to Jane? How would she feel?
I kept my eyes on the road and my hands on the steering, the urge to drive into a tree or drive into a wall was sprouting up in my heart.
I felt lifeless even though I was alive, he fucking knew about all this and didn’t say a thing. He made me walk into his life and give my heart to him irrespective of the fact that he was behind my parents demise.
I’ll be the reason behind his demise, I can’t let him destroy my family and then come into the same family and act like he is the savior.
My eyes watered my cheeks as I drove on the empty street, what if I end up killing Braden? I wouldn’t be capable of murder but this was enough reason to erase him from my mind.
I don’t want to be a murder like him, if I kill him in his sleep then we’ll both be killers, I can’t live like that but I want to avenge my parents death.
Half of my family wiped off from the surface of the earth because of one man’s youthful rebellion and nonchalance, he grew out of it after destroying my parents. He stopped the act but the damage was done.
If I kill myself who would take care of Jane? I don’t want her to live the hard life that I lived. I want her to graduate and be successful without the obstacle of facing a hard life.
What do I do? Should I report Branden to the police? “I don’t know what to do” The tears doubled and in a split second my vision blurred. The tears restricted my sight.
I couldn’t hold them, the pain was unbearable, I was so lost and confused. Why would Branden do such a thing? I don’t deserve this!
He was my everything!
Before I got to the automatic gate it opened up for me, I drove in and parked my car at the garage. Braden is going to receive the hell he inflamed on my family, the tragedy he planted in my family.
I cleaned my tears and walked into the house angrily, where is that fucking murderer? I marched right into his room and met him awake, going through his laptop. My heart shattered in a million pieces, he no longer looked like the billionaire I was in love with, all I could see when I looked into his eyes were deceit and murder.
“Diana where the hell have you been? I was so worried about you, why did you leave the house without informing me?” He stood up from his bed and ambled towards me slowly.
“Don’t you dare move a step closer!” I yelled at him furiously with my orbs boiling in rage, Branden stared at me confused and mortified.
“You thought I wouldn’t find out? Huh?! You fucked up my life and you kept it from me!” I picked up his laptop and smashed it in the floor.
It’s screen broke and other components of his laptop broke off.
“What the hell Diana? What is fuck is wrong with you? Where is all this coming from?” He widened his eyes at me. Branden bent over and examined his broken laptop it was obviously damaged beyond repair.
Nevertheless I didn’t care, what’s a broken laptop compared to a broken family? A broken heart?!
“Fuck this! You did worse than this, You took everything away from me you fucking bastard! Did you think I wasn’t going to find out?” my yells grew louder and my body hot and enraged.
“Diana I don’t understand what you are talking about, What’s the meaning of all this” He said, bewilderment written all over his features.
“Oh you don’t understand? Then what the fuck is this? Who did you kill with this? Huh?!” I pulled out a drug of his from my pocket and pointed it at him.
The shock on his afterwards was just too bold to describe.
“Diana where did you get that from” his calm voice met my ears as he gently approached me.
“I told you not to fucking come closer Branden! Are you going to answer the question? Or do you need me to call the cops on you before you speak up?!” I threatened.
“Diana I need you to calm down please, let’s talk about this calmly, there’s no need to throw a tantrum” He said mildly.
Not minding his calm tone, I yelled even louder, I can’t sit and keep quiet about all this, I can’t act like all this doesn’t fucking hurt me.
“I really don’t understand where all this is coming from, I don’t know where you got that from. Did you pick it up from the street?” he asked, I could sense tension flying in the air.
This man was almost stuttering and he was obviously lying.
“Oh really? You want to act innocent and confused? Are you trying to say you don’t know what’s going on? You have no idea where this drugs are coming from? I found this in your study along with this picture.
You killed this couple didn’t you?! You murdered my parents didn’t you?!” I roared to his amazement.
“Shit” he murmured.
“Were you responsible for their death? Answer me?!” my veins throbbed and my palms itched. I felt like grabbing him by the throat and strangling him to death.
“I can explain, just hear me out….. It’s not how it seems” He cajoled calmly.
“I want an answer Mr Branden, yes or no?” I shot him dagger glares as fear saturated on his facial features.
“Y… y… es” he stuttered out the words and that minute, my heart shattered into a billion pieces and my whole world crumbled instantly. I staggered backwards and located the door instantly.
“Diana wait, please give me the chance to explain myself, let me explain what happened….” He tried to reach out to me.
“No! There’s nothing else to say, I don’t want to ever have anything to do with you, I don’t want to ever see you again. I can’t believe I fell in love with you, I gave you my heart, my body and I was ready to give you my life. Had I known! I would have never walked into your office that day, I would have never responded to your call, I wish I never came back to you.
I curse the day I met you Branden” I lashed out at him and walked over to the closet to pick all my belongings.
It was time to leave Braden’s life, I can’t stay here and live the rest of my life with my parent’s murderer.
My soul is troubled.
“Look Diana, please let’s not go down this road again, I can’t live without you” He pleaded in a soft tone.
“To hell with you Branden! I live without my parents because of you, do you expect me to ignore all that and stay? Huh?” i hit his chest angrily and pushed him.
The more I thought about it, the angrier I got.
I walked over to his television set and smashed it on the floor, I didn’t stop there. I walked over to his lamp and threw it on the floor.
He stood and watched me destroy his entire room but of course I didn’t care, my parents life can’t be replaced but all of this.
I didn’t care how much they cost him, his past mistakes cost me my parents and that will never be equal to any material thing.
No matter the amount of money, I can never let go of the fact that Branden was my parent’s murderer.
I continued yelling until I got to his sitting room, the urge to destroy became very overwhelming. What’s the use of controlling it?
Nothing else mattered to me so I obeyed the urge, I broke his TV and destroyed his furnitures.
Without casting an eyelid on him, I walked back into the room and packed all my things, he kept begging but his words meant nothing to me. My love for him battled with my hate for him, my hate for him at that very moment was winning.
I picked up my luggage and stormed out of his house. This marks the end of us Branden, I regret ever knowing you irrespective of the times we spent together.
I’ll never step foot into your house or life again, that, I promise you.
