Diana - Chapter 268

“Baby!” Stella screamed from her sleep. Her eyes sprung open, while her body was covered in perspiration.

She began breathing heavily as her heart can’t stop racing wildly, fear evidence in her eyes.

She stared into space, with tears streaming down her face, as she held her hand to her chest, trying to control her breathing.

There was a knock on the door, before Alex came inside the already lit room, since Stella doesn’t turn the lights off,  since he didn’t hear any reply. Seeing her eyes filled with tears, he quickly wiped it with his thumbs and cupped her face in his palms, “are you okay?” he asked.

Stella look up at him and shook her head, indicating that she’s not okay. “What happened?” he asked.

“I had a nightmare just now.” she said, her voice quavering, while her tears didn’t cease to fall non stop.

“Do you want to talk about it?” Alex asked, adjusting himself on the bed and reached for the bottle water beside her bed, before reaching for the cup and pour in the content, before passing it to her.

Stella took the cup and down the content in one goal, but the heaviness in her heart didn’t vanish, even after her breathing has stabilized.

She took a deep breath and stare at Alex who now had his hands on her shoulders, helping her into a laying position on the bed.

Alex could still detect the tenseness in her, “do you want to talk about it?” he asked for the second time, while stroking her face gently with his palm.

Stella open her mouth and burst into tears, “it’s Diana. In my dream she’s … she’s….” she couldn’t complete her sentence, before bursting into tears once again.

“Calm down Stella, she will be fine okay? nothing will happen to her.” Alex said, while Stella shook her head in denial.

“You don’t understand Alex, it felt so real. She’s dying…”

Alex felt his heart leaped and blinked profusely, but still needed to act like a man. Stella is probably still traumatised by the past event, which led to how she’s feeling now and the nightmare. He assured himself that nothing is wrong with their child and she’s coming back to them.

After the assurance, he was able to console Stella, telling her she’s having those nightmares because she’s longing to see her.

“But it’s days Shane died and we haven’t heard any news about her. I really didn’t imagine the view in my nightmare, I saw her struggling and my heart felt stuffed and heavy.” she said.

“That’s because you’re scared. You assumed the scene to be real.” Alex said.

“You can’t understand Alex. I just don’t feel right. It’s not about the dream alone, which isn’t the first time I’m having such, but this time….” she paused as her lips were sealed with Alex’s own.

Those words were affecting him and scaring him, more than Stella could imagine. His heart is starting to quicken too, which is bad for his health.

During his time in a coma, even though his family does everything to preserve his vitality, taking his unconscious body for a stroll and many other therapies sections, to make him wake up inside a body that hasn’t become useless, it still couldn’t measure to him doing all those things himself.

There are certain things he should avoid, to preserve his health, as he could be affected by the tiniest of bad news that cause shock, or the type that’s stirring him up like Stella’s story is doing right now.

“Stella, she survived all these while. We survived despite what we went through. I believe we’re destined to be together and so shall it be.

We’ve endured all these while, let’s not break down at this last minute, because the days we have left to wait, couldn’t compare to the ones we’ve waited in the past.

So please, calm down and think positively okay?” he said after pulling back.

Stella returned from the shock and nodded her head, as he helped wipe her tears. It’s been a while that, she has these sort of dreams, which made her wonder why this night all of a sudden.

Shane is gone, so she didn’t have the fear that brought those nightmare in her heart any longer, so why?

She begged Alex to sleep with her, as she didn’t want to be alone, because despite his assurance and many more, which of course were true, her mind seems to be against her, as it refuses to accept those solace and kept up with the unsettlement.

…

Meanwhile.

Immediately Nathan left, just as he assumed, Aroma didn’t trust that he won’t hurt Austin and couldn’t bear to wait and watch Austin get hurt.

After getting dressed up in black leather trousers and jacket, her hair tied in a ponytail, while her boot, were armed like always, because no one knows when trouble could come knocking.

She still didn’t feel completely herself, yet she knew she had to set things right. She won’t die if she didn’t love, but knew her life would never be the same again if anything happen to Austin.

It will mean both friends gone. The memories she used to make herself smile, when she felt like being Tiffany, will become her dreadful thoughts.

With those thoughts in mind, she stepped out of her lab and tried to sabotage Nathan’s plan.

She knew it will take a while for them to find Austin without her, so she might as well make use of the opportunity to set things right.

Immediately she stepped out, Nathan got the notification immediately that she’s out, because they knew if they try tracing her or moved, she will detect their movements immediately, so they stayed far, where they only have to make a whistle to alert Nathan.

Aroma heard the whistle and got alerted immediately. She looked around and try sensing movements, but didn’t detect any and assume the people are probably still awake.

She began walking undetected towards where her bike was parked and was surprised to see two seniors waiting for her there.

They had their arms across their chest, which made her frown, because they probably want to stop her. If it’s not Nathan, then they have no right to do this when they look so serious, not that they are joking around, but actually look like they are about to challenge her.
