His Beautiful Addiction

The song in this chapter is 'say you won't let go' by James Arthur. **

''We'll be outside if you need anything; '' she said but Tiana did not reply, her eyes stared straight at her plate.

''get me my phone and earphones. ''     

Diana nodded and she and Gwen left the room, but they stood by the door watching her through the transparent glass in case she wanted to do anything. When she resumed eating, Diana spoke to one of the guards and he quickly called home and asked them to bring her phone over. Gwen stood by the door watching her sister, after some time she smiled faintly.

It seemed they were both back to square one, but the difference was that this time, she was greater than her.

She had not felt happier after she heard of Nicklaus's accident. She was so happy that she couldn't even eat. She already lost hope of being better but luck finally shone on her. The billionaire husband was finally dead.

Even though she was his wife, she would be left with little or no assets since she didn't have a child yet and Howells Corporation was family-owned, the most she would get was Nicklaus's assets. That was if she was wise enough to know how to get them before some greedy family members stole it from right underneath her nose, or maybe kill her to get it for themselves, she was a weakling already.

Too bad, she was always trying to be higher, but she was constantly pushed back to the mud where she belonged. She had rushed back to see her because she wanted to see the sad and frustrated look on her face knowing that she had nothing left.

But she didn't want her dead though, she was sad when she found out she was not waking up.

Firstly, she was her sister; the last thing she would want was for her to be dead, although it crossed her mind sometimes because of how she won her most times, yet, she didn't want her to die. And more importantly, she didn't want to stop competing with her, she wanted to win and watch the look on her face, knowing that she had finally won.

''Gwen, how is she? '' Diana asked, kicking Gwen out of her thoughts. Gwen blinked and turned back to the room. ''She's been eating as though nothing is wrong. '' Diana peeked into the room and as Gwen had said, she was eating normally as though there was nothing wrong, that only made them worry the more.

If she cried, at least they knew what was in her mind, her silence was frightening.

After eating, she squeezed herself on the bed; lying quietly without a word.

Diana badly wanted to know what she was doing, so she was so thankful when a guard came to her with Tiana's phone and the earphones she had asked for. She slowly pushed the door open and walked to her on the bed.

Diana stood beside her for a moment, watching her. She wasn't moving neither were there any sounds of crying; Diana became scared;

''Tiana, I've brought your phone… '' She spoke, walking closer to the bed, but before she could reach it, Tiana stretched her hand to take the phone. Diana paused and placed the phone in her hand.

''I want to be left alone, Diana. '' Tiana said, her voice was bleak, it was clear that she was trying her best to mask the pain she was feeling inside.

She heard Diana's footsteps walk away and the door click and everywhere became quiet. A few seconds passed and then she turned her phone on, she tapped on her music icon and searched for a song, her eyes stopped on one and she tapped on it, putting her earphones on;

…

'I met you in the dark, you lit me up

You made me feel as though, I was enough

We danced the night away, we drank too much…

But I wanna stay with you until we're grey and old

Just say you won't let go

 just say you won't let go'

Tiana wasn't crying, she was weeping. Her tears flowed freely from her eyes. She didn't have the strength to scream, she couldn't shout. She could only listen to her pulsating heart, beating with nothing but pain and agony. Every memory they ever shared came rushing back to her, she shook on the bed as sweat broke out on her forehead.

'I'm so in love with you

And I hope you know

Darling, your love is more than what it is weight in gold

We've come this far my dear, look how we've grown

And I wanna stay with you until we're grey and old'

Just say you won't let go

 just say you won't let go

Tiana's body vibrated with pain as she wept helplessly. He was gone; the only man she loved was gone. They had so many things they were yet to do, he promised they would make babies, he promised to be there for her, he promised to always make her laugh even when she was so sad…

Baby, why did you leave me…? I was waiting for you…

…

'I wanna live with you, even when we're ghosts

'Cause you were always there for me when I needed you the most

I'm gonna love you till my lungs give out

I promise till death we part, like in our vows��'

Tiana listened to the lyrics of the song, unable to move. She still couldn't believe he was no more. He had so many things he wanted to do; she couldn't believe that his enemies ended him.

She lifted her hand to her mouth and she bit on it painfully.

'Just say you won't let go… Just say you won't let go…'

He wanted her to be happy, but in the end, she could only find sorrow. She knew she would never have a reason to smile anymore, he was her light, and he was gone leaving her in utter darkness.

She didn't know how time passed as she listened to the song over and over again until it was morning. When the door opened, she pretended to be asleep.
