Androphobia? How?" He asked and Tina chuckled sadly
"I shouldn't say this but if it is to convince you, miss Diana's stepmother and her daughter would lock her in a room and hire thugs to rape her..."
"What! Was her father aware?" Nicholas eyes dilated in surprise
"Of course, he just feigned ignorance " Tina scoffed
"They would tie her to a chair and feed her with spoilt food so she's irritated by foods that aren't stodge, what is it called again? Err....food sensitivity! That's what Dr. Clara called it " Tina said and Nicholas clenched his fist in anger
"Is her plan only to get married to me and not to revenge? I can help her with anything" Nicholas said solemnly
"Yes she...wait, what!" Tina gasped in surprise
"I mean, she can't suddenly want to risk her life only to go against them, right?" Nicholas said
"Well, miss Diana still consider them... family " Tina slurred
"What! Is she dumb or what?" Nicholas hissed angrily. "she acts all though on the outside buh she's this dense " Nicholas scoffed
"Wait, if miss Diana has androphobia, how is she able to stay in a relationship with Fredrick Bodmas? She even had a child for him" Nicholas inquired eagerly
"Well, apparently miss Diana thinks Fred is her saviour or something, I don't know " Tina shrugged
"Why are you sounding like you think differently?" Nicholas asked
"I mean, he cruelly left her when he found out she was pregnant saying he wasn't ready to be a father then went ahead to get married to Arry, it doesn't make sense to me" Tina said angrily and Nicholas nodded in understanding
"But why do you keep saying Mrs Rosa died mysteriously?" Nicholas asked
"She was murdered! She was suddenly hit by a truck that wasn't traceable on her way to her attorney's office the day she was going to change her will" Tina said and Nicholas frowned
"Who was her next of kin before then?" He asked curiously
"Mr Maxwell" Tina replied slowly
"So he might have ordered her killed since she wanted to transfer the shares to miss Diana?" Nicholas guessed
"Miss Diana doesn't believe so" Tina sighed helplessly
"And you?" Nicholas asked
"I stop behind miss Diana everytime" she shrugged indifferently and Nicholas respired heavily
"I actually thought she was bored and started joking around" he mumbled and sighed
"Uh, my phone is ringing, let me quickly go take this call" Tina said and rushed out of the room
Nicholas nodded at her disappearing figure and his gaze landed on Diana who's busy drinking to stupor
About five bottles were down so he stood up and walked towards her
"Miss Diana, I think you should stop drinking now" he said and collected the bottle of liquor with her and Diana jerked at him drunkly
"Heyyyy! How dare you take away my liquor, huh!! It is my liquor! It is mine!!" Diana yelled in a drunk manner and Nicholas sighed
"You shouldn't drink too much, why do you have to drink like this to overcome your thoughts?" Nicholas asked angrily
"What is it to you, Hun? You plan soiler! I was finally going to go up against my father but you won't let me! You don't want to get married to me!" Diana said sadly, even though she was obviously drunk and Nicholas respired
"Alright, stop drinking. I'd get married to you" he said and Diana's eyes dilated
"Really?! Don't you dare take that back later, Hun, you better not take it back my dear future husband" she said smiling sheepishly
"I won't, so stop drinking okay" Nicholas said and tend to collect the glass of liquor from her but she suddenly grabbed his arm and sneered into his face
"Aww, why am I just realizing this? You are Soo handsome Mr Aston " she said and caressed his face in a stagger manner and just as Nicholas tried to withdraw from her, she moved her face closer and...
"Noooo!!!" Tina shrilled as she walked in and sighted them but Diana has already striked.
She placed a kiss on aston's lips and passed out
"What...what was that?" Nicholas Aston stuttered, looking totally flustered
"I'm so sorry, she always does that whenever she drinks, then she'd pass out" Tina said and quickly rushed to help Diana lie down well on the sofa
"She kisses people everytime she drinks?" Nicholas asked in disbelief and Tina only gave him an apologetic smile
"Actually, I've never seen her cry, she prefers drinking instead of bawling her eyes out just like her mother, even when her mother died, she never cried, she just kept drinking until she was admitted and was advised to stop drinking for a while" Tina explained
"Gosh! Am I talking too much? Let me just see you off sir" Tina said and Nicholas nodded
"Alright, I'd let you know via text when I make up my mind about the marriage talk" Nicholas said
"Alright sir" Tina said and led him out

D Nicholas's Mansion
Aston walked into the living room and unbuckled his tie tiredly
"So, how did it go?" Dan asked as he served his some chilled water
"It's more complicated than I thought, I was just going to tease her before but it's getting more technical" Nicholas replied and gulped down the whole glass of water "more" he said hungrily and Dan served him more water
"Getting more complicated or you are becoming more interested in her?" Dan teased and Aston sighed helplessly
"It's not like in interested in her or anything...."
"Interested in who?" A faminine voice Interrupted from behind and a young girl in her later sixteen emerged before Aston "Are you suddenly interested in a particular lady?" She probed further and made a thoughtful face "That would be weird tho...." The girl said grimly "Should I look into her for you? Uh, wait! Is it that...err, that Diana Maxwell you asked me to look into?! It can't be, right?" The girl blabbered on
"Stay out of this Bianca, you don't have to get yourself worked up over a random someone " Aston tried to shove her off
"But she doesn't look random to me, you've met her more than one time privately which means something to me" Bianca sniffed dramatically
"What do you want Bianca?" Aston asked helplessly
"The truth! Are you interested in her or not?" Bianca insisted and Aston sighed angrily
"I'm just curious, I kind of find her interesting so I'm only curious, I'd stop talking to her soon" Aston said
"There you go!" Bianca clicked her finger excitedly "let me meet her" she said , holding aston's arm
''no, you can't!" Aston said firmly
"Ehhh, look at that gaze you're giving me, why do I get the feeling like you're suddenly being protective?" Bianca teased
"I'm not, don't you have exams? Aren't you going to read?" Aston asked rhetorically
"Yoo, don't try to change the topic bro, my IQ is above 160 for a reason " bianca said stubbornly and Aston sighed
"Alright, look into Diana Maxwell mother's death for me and I'd allow you meet her" he said finally giving up
"Uhuh, I'm getting goosebumps. Alright, I will get to it immediately! Oh, I can't wait to meet this b*tch!" Bianca said grinning from ear to ear
"I told you to stop using those languages " Aston eyes her
"Wait, what if Mrs Rosa is part of the people you killed over the cellphone?" Bianca asked grimly
"What... nonesense are you blurting now?" Aston frowned
