《DIEGO'S INNOCENCE》CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN
Advertisement
DIEGO'S POV.
It has been a few days since Hunter and Siara came back from Anna and Ken's house, and thankfully greedy Ken called Hunter back the same day. Hunter did give him two conditions though, and the conditions were that he, Ken, comes here to the mansion, with his wife, Anna.
And it did not take long for Ken to accept the conditions.
I always had a feeling that money will be Ken's downfall.
And now Hunter, Siara, and I are patiently waiting for the two to arrive, while we go through the plan, again.
I did tell Siara what the plan was yesterday, because she is a part of it. Each of us has a role in the plan, and so does Julie.
"So... I just need to serve the drinks, right?" Julie asks, sitting next to Hunter, who keeps stealing glances at her, while she ignores him. My brother looks whipped, and I hope I can tease him later on, when I feel like my true self.
"Yes," I reply when no one does. "You serve the drink, and then the three of us will continue from where you leave off.... And don't forget; do not act weird, or do something that will make them both suspecious."
Julie nods at me at the exact moment the guard calls me. Ken and Anna have arrived.
My guards went to collect them from their homes, because I did not want them to be tracked down by people. I made sure the guards used cars that I bought recently, and I will make sure that the cars are burnt down later on.
The police officers that were sent to look after me went back to the supreme jail because of an emergency. They will be back later in the day.

Julie leaves the room, ready to do as planned, while Hunter, Siara and I go through the rest of the plan.
"But do you think it's true?" Siara asks curiously. "Do you think that she is being abused?"
"Yes," I answer with no hesitation. "Those two have the tendency of arguing, and I am sure that their arguments turned physical. Ken loved hitting me when he was drunk, and by what you told me, he was drunk when you met him. Check Anna's body language, and tell me what you think when I come down,"
Siara nods, offering me a tiny smile as she and Hunter leave the office.
I remain in the room, my thoughts running wild. I have been debating with myself if they, Ken and Anna, should have the same fate as Bobby, or if I should send them where they sent me.
I really want to do to them what I did with Bobby; but there is this feeling within me that says no. The two treated me bad, but hurting them is something I can not see myself doing.
I have been trained to be heartless. To not think with my dick, emotions, or heart, because these things are an obstacle to what is needed to be done.
I was told to think with my head most times. I know that my mind hurts me most days, but there is usually that small voice that comes from it, and it usually tells me things that are true. Even though I am in denial of the truthful thoughts most times.
The mind lies to me most times, but it also tells me the truth, even though I refuse to listen to it.
Ken and Anna hurt me, and I do not think I can forgive them. A parent should never hurt his or her child because of problems, pain or wicked joy.

My head tells me to hurt them, to destroy them like they destroyed me. But the little human that has learnt to live with the pain says no.
I am reminded that I have life, even if I do not want it most times. I remind myself that I would have never met Hunter, and Siara if I was never born.
Siara might have told me that we need to give each other time. But we usually find ourselves together, eating breakfast, and exercising in the home gym together.
And she does give me my meals and medicine when I forget to take them. She has become a part of my life in such a small space of time, making me believe that it does not matter how long you know someone.
A person I met a few weeks ago, has filled a small void in my life, that not even my late fiance filled. I thought that giving the person you love gifts, and money is all that is needed.
But I forgot that attention is also needed. Caring for a person can also be love. Giving a person attention can be love.
Showing a person love is always going to be different. But a person's actions will show the person's true colors. The way they look at you, and the way they impact your life will show you how they feel about you.
And even if someone pretended to love me. They will not pretend to love me forever. They will get tired of showing me their fake love, and even if it hurts, I will have to accept that life is full of lessons.
I have survived without them before, and I will continue to survive when they leave.
I just hope that Siara is genuine with her feeling. Her betraying me, might hurt me more than Bianca's betrayals.
I hear a phone ringing in the room, I look down on the desk, where my phone lays. I grab my phone when I see Hunter's number. I answer the call, pressing the phone to my ear.
"Hello," I hear Hunter's voice at the other end of the line.
"Yes Hunter," I reply. "Is it done?" I ask feeling a bit impatient.
"Yes," Hunter chuckles. "The guards are taking them to the basement..... Will you follow us there?" He asks, curiosity in his voice.
"Yes," I begin, standing up from my seat. "I am on my way there..... Make sure that everything is prepared for my arrival. I am sure that they will be shocked to see my face after they wake up," I chuckle, an image of their shocked expressions forming in my head.
Hunter chuckles as well. We say our goodbyes as I walk into my elevator. The elevator slowly closes, and I can not help but remember my childhood memories.
Pain and anger fill my body, the feeling of revenge overtaking the human part that was telling me to not hurt them.
The two might have helped me enter the world, but they have done nothing but hurt me, and I am ready to repay their actions.
