His Beautiful Addiction

"Did you get to work safely?"

Diana sent a text as she applied her makeup, a reply came almost immediately she sent it.

"Yeah, just arrived, I have a meeting now, I'll call you when I'm done."

"Okay, take care."

Diana dropped the phone as she pursed her lips, checking if her makeup was properly done. When she saw she looked good, she stood up from the chair.

She did not take up to three steps when her phone rang again,

The familiar vibrating sound on the table made her remember what happened a few days ago.

Jade…

Why was she calling him? And at night at that?

She had mentioned she wanted to hang out later but shouldn't she at least respect the late hours of the day? 

She was not yet done with Melissa now his ex was here. Diana swallowed painfully,

Why was he so handsome?

The phone rang for the second time, bumping her out of her thoughts, she glanced at the screen and smiled when she saw the caller.

"Mom!" Diana screamed over the phone. It's been weeks since she saw her, she had been busy lately,

"You sound excited yet you can't call me,"

"Ah, mom, it's not like that… I'm so occupied with work, and we're rounding up a show so it's been stressful for me, I was planning to come see you today, cause I woke up with you on my mind."

Elizabeth laughed, "Okay, hope you're fine, and yes, I saw in the news, mm, he's quite handsome..."

Diana's brows creased, "who?"

"the man you're dating? There's so much news about you both online, it seems so real to be fake, so are you going to tell me about him or not?"

Diana laughed as her face blushed,

"We'll talk about it when I come over, I'm hanging up, bye…"

"Don't you dare!" her mother screamed jokingly. Diana laughed,

"I called you, so you don't end the call, I will end the call myself."

Diana laughed, "mom, I'm coming over now, we'll talk about it."

"Okay, but first, are you two dating?"

Diana bit her lower lip and nodded shyly, when she remembered her mom wasn't in front of her she murmured.

"Yea…"

"Great! Finally! I'm going to prepare something delicious for you now, I'm waiting for you, come quickly."

Diana laughed as her mom ended the call. That was her mom, every single time there was a dating rumor about her, she would call to hear from her.

She always wanted the rumors to be true but they were mostly false. Sometimes she would tell her they were true just to stop her from disturbing her more.

Diana tucked her hair to the back of her ears.

She was happy this time. She couldn't wait to introduce Michael to her mom. She was sure she would love him.

And speaking of Michael…

The smile on her face paled slowly,

That Jade…

She was pretty and elegant and very outspoken. Unlike her, Jade seemed like someone who wasn't shy to express or say how she felt.

Diana pouted. What if she wanted to chase Michael, she sure wouldn't stand a chance.

Men had deeper connections with women they've had sexual reactions with, unlike her, he had slept with Jade.

Maybe she should seduce him?

Diana thought and she kicked her leg into the air irritatingly.

Sleeping with him was no use, she wouldn't be able to stop him if he decided he wanted Jade.

And it would tear her apart if he left her after sleeping with her.

She pouted. Walking to her closet slowly.

He liked her right?

He showed her how much he liked her in every thing he did.

Diana nodded to herself, yes, he likes her a lot.

She was about to rejoice when another part of her thought,

But he never said it once, what if he was having double mind about his feelings for her and now his ex has appeared, his heart will waver the more.

"Arrhh!" Diana cried, why was she having all these bad thoughts. Nothing happened, she just called to check up on him!

Or not…

That day after seeing the call, she left the phone without picking it or telling Michael Jade had called.

She wanted him to tell her himself, but he didn't.

She had waited to tell him she wanted to be with him now, but when he didn't tell her Jade called, her heart began to waver again.

And she just went to sleep that night. 

Everything continued as normal but she couldn't get it off her mind.

What if he still had feelings for Jade?

Diana thought.

No, no, he had told her that he left his relationships as platonic as it could ever be, so Jade wasn't an exception.

She nodded to herself, trying to convince herself that that was the case.

Smiling, she stopped thinking about it and took out a beautiful dress, she would meet her mother's boyfriend today.

She needed to look pretty.

…

Diana stepped out of her car and her eyes widened as she looked around the estate.

Her mother told her he was wealthy but she didn't think much of it, but standing in front of his home now, she couldn't help thinking about who he was. Her mother said his name once but she couldn't remember.

"Darling, you're late."

Elizabeth kicked her out of her thoughts as she walked towards her with opened arms.

Diana ran into her embrace and hugged her,

"I had to eat breakfast. Here's so pretty."

She commented. Since her mom wasn't very young anymore, she thought she would be with a younger man, that was what most divorced women who had a lot of money did, that was why she didn't pay attention to it, but it seems she caught a big fish.

"Is it? He's Henry Davis, you weren't expecting anything less where you?"

Diana's eyes widened and she blinked,

"Henry Davis? The one we know?"

Henry Davis was among the top 5 in the billionaires list. His wife died a few years back and she didn't know he had been seeing her mom.
