Chapter: Chapter Eleven''Answers,” he said simply. “And this time, I’m not leaving until I get them.”Bella was frozen to the spot after hearing him. "Answers to what?" She asked him."Bella, when were you planning to tell me about the kids?" He asked with a look Bella couldn't explain. She had been scared that such a day would come. A day where he would take the children away from her. "Or, you never planned to tell me about them," Luke asked while watching her keenly. He could see very clearly the emotions that passed across her face. Fear? Was she scared of him? Why? There was no reason why she should be scared of him. Luke thought as he watched and waited for her answer. "Kids... What kids? What...are you talking about?" Bella asked shakily. "Bella, calm down... You look scared. Why don't we go somewhere quiet so we can talk? I am not here to hurt you... Believe me." He said in a way to calm her. She was already shaking and he could see beads of sweat on her head. What could she be thinking? Bella lo

Chapter: Chapter tenHer purse and car keys fell from her hands at the sight of who was standing there...Bella froze in place, her heart pounding erratically. She struggled to process the sight of Luke standing at her door. He looked impossibly composed, his tailored black suit fitting him like a glove, his sharp features betraying nothing of the emotions she imagined he must be feeling. For a moment, Bella couldn’t breathe, couldn’t think. Her children, standing behind her, exchanged confused glances before Oliver spoke.“Mom? Is something wrong?” he asked cautiously.Bella snapped out of her trance, her maternal instincts kicking in. She bent to pick up her purse and car keys, her hands trembling as she did so. Straightening up, she forced a smile onto her face and turned to her children.“Go back inside for a moment, okay? Mommy needs to handle something,” she said, her voice unnaturally bright.Oliver and Olivia hesitated, glancing curiously at Luke before obeying their mother’s request. As soon as t

Chapter: Chapter nineBella was very curious but she knew her grandmother wasn't ready to answer her questions. She just hoped she didn't get to see him again. The next day, Bella had gotten to the restaurant with the fear that she would meet Luke there but she was quite surprised when she didn't meet him there. She went into her room on the fourth floor and dropped her bag. As she passed the second floor, she was tempted to take a look at his usual seat and she did. He still wasn't there. As the day progressed, wondered why he didn't show up. She hoped he had gone back to where he came from. She didn't want anything to link her to the life she lived before being sent away to Nigeria. Her stepmother and sister had done her a great favor. Nigeria became her gateway. Now, she earns more than she would have ever imagined. The day ended and she still didn't feel that piercing stare that she had been feeling for days now. She was a lot happier when she got home that day and her children noticed. "You look be

Chapter: Chapter eight Instead of going into the Kitchen as Bella had said, she went up to the fourth floor. When she got there, she just walked to her room and lay down. She didn't have the energy to do anything. She didn't even know what she was feeling. Fear? Sadness? Nervousness? She couldn't name her feelings at that moment. What would happen if Luke was to find out about her children? Will he take them from her? At the thought of her children entering her mind, she stood up from the bed and started pacing around the room. She would never allow anyone to take her children away from her. Why did he even come to look for her? He should have just forgotten about whatever happened that night and not bother her. "What are you doing here?" Bella's grandmother who had just walked into her room asked. She had gone to the kitchen to check on Bella but she wasn't there. She checked the office and she wasn't there also. "Oh! Grandma! You scared me..." Bella gasped. "Sorry. I didn't mean to. What are you d

Chapter: Chapter sevenLuke was still sitting where he was and lost in thought for a long time. He didn't know for how long but, he came back to when Bella's grandmother called out to him. "Mr. Luke. Hey!" She called him but when he didn't answer, she tapped him. Luke blinked his eyes at her when he was pulled out of his thoughts. "Am sorry, what did you say?" He asked Bella's grandma. "I didn't say anything. I just called you. What were you thinking about?" She asked Luke.Luke shook his head and said. "It's nothing. I was just... I mean, I was just lost. I think it's time for me to go. I need to go. I'll be back tomorrow." Luke said and stood up."Please, sit." Bella's grandmother stopped him before he could take a step away. "I want to ask you some questions." She added when she saw that Luke wasn't sitting. Luke took his seat and waited for her to continue. Some seconds after he had taken his seat, she asked. "Why did you come to look for Bella?" Luke thought not to tell her but, just when he was abo

Chapter: Chapter sixTwo years after Luke was sent to King's Island, he had completed his training. He wanted to rush back after a year just like he promised but, he was not allowed to leave. Immediately after he got back, the first thing he did was start looking for the girl he spent a night with. It wasn't easy but with the help of the connections he had made when he was on kings island, he made progress almost three years after coming back. After vigorous searching, he found out that she was from the Grey family. Mr. Grey owns a news agency and it's quite popular. Information that he gathered was that she was a child from that family and she had gone to that party with her sister. After finding out about her family, he didn't waste any time and told his parents about what happened. He also told them that he would want to marry her. His parents who were still feeling guilty about sending him to Kings island agreed without any questions. He approached her family and told them of his intentions to marry t
