BELLAI called my secretary to inform her that I wouldn’t be able to go to work and that I wanted to take the day off to spend time with my son. Mateo didn’t try to reach out to me again, no surprise there though. I met with Sandra again and I made sure to ask for her name. To maintain discretion, I altered my appearance. I stared at Sandra, as tears streamed down my face. The revelation was crippling I had been with the enemy this whole time, and I couldn’t believe it. Sandra gave me some time to sob, she didn’t mind. She must have been through something too, because what she was doing was betrayal, I didn’t care, Mateo betrayed Moreno by selling him out to his enemy. “You have to be careful, Mateo can't know about this, about our meeting, and about what you just learned, is that possible Bella?” She asked and I nodded. She handed me a phone, “You can reach me with that, my number is already saved.” I nodded and thanked her. "Will I be able to speak with...with Moreno?" I asked desp

BELLAAs soon as Mateo left I couldn’t stop thinking, I was convinced that he was hiding something from me and it had to do with Moreno, I couldn’t trust Mateo any longer until I found out what exactly he was hiding and planning behind my back. He had been acting suspiciously and I plan to get to the button of it. I sat on the chair staring blankly at the wall, lost in thoughts. If I remember correctly, Mateo and Moreno went for the ambush together, Mateo came back barely touched and Moreno missing. Before I was informed of anything, the scene had been cleared and that fake body was found. I closed my eyes trying to remember the painful memory of when Mateo informed me of the bad news. I hit him and cursed him for letting Moreno be in the building when it collapsed, he claimed that he took some of the men out and he was lucky to be alive. There was no flaw in the story and it was difficult to doubt, I had no idea where I was going to start and I couldn’t shake off the fact that Mate

MATEOI had to find a way to convince Bella not to hold a press conference or make her say that Moreno was dead. It didn’t make any difference whatever she said to the public I just didn’t want her to believe Moreno was alive. It was going to make things difficult for me and ruin my plans. The next day I hurriedly went to the mansion to meet Bella and try to change her mind. The press conference was scheduled to hold by noon today and I was at the mansion as early as 6 am. I met her in the study already preparing her speech. “If you’re here to stop me, don’t bother.” She said without looking up at me as I entered the study. “I didn’t come here to stop you, I’m here to support you,” I said shocking her and she looked up and me for a while. “Okay,” “I need to know what you plan to say.” “Exactly what I told you yesterday, I plan to tell them that Moreno is still alive, our stocks are dropping, you know how people in this business do not value and trust women. Inasmuch as I’d love to pr

MATEOI tried to convince Bella to hand over the paper to me but she insisted that she hold onto it. The note was left here recently and there was no way Moreno could have written it, someone must have been playing a twisted game with me.To avoid raising suspicion, I wrapped up the conversation with Bella and offered to drive her home. As we pulled up to her place, she reassured me she was fine, but I lingered.“You're sure you're okay?” I asked, searching her face.“I'm good, Mateo. Go,” she said firmly, her eyes exhausted.I hesitated, then reluctantly left, my mind still racing with questions. Who could be behind this? And why?I went straight to where Moreno was kept, determined to uncover the truth. It was either him or one of my men."Who's been in contact with Moreno?" I demanded, my eyes locked on the guard."No one, boss," he replied, his expression unwavering.The silence was deafening. If no one entered, and Moreno didn't leave, how then did the note get to Bella's office?

DUAL POVMORENO“Can you hear me,” I heard Sandra ask. And I was too weak to answer or even shake my head. What was going on with me? Why was I unable to move my body? “Blink if you can hear me.” She said. And I blinked, “Oh! Thank God, you’re fine, you’ll be fine. It’s the drugs, just stop taking them. You have to stop taking them, no matter what.” She said in a hurry and left the room immediately without giving me a moment to process what she had just said. Ever since the day in that room with Mateo, I was injected with a drug every single day, and it drove me crazy every single time like I was going insane. After taking the shots for 5 days, I was given a pill to swallow every day, they said it was going to help alleviate the symptoms I had and I always took it under the scrutinized gaze of a doctor. So it was the drugs all along? Mateo was trying to drive me insane. Fuck! At this rate, I would not be able to get to Bella in time. The next day, the doctor came in with the drug aga

BELLA’S POVI hadn’t seen Mateo since last night after he somehow ended up in my room. I didn’t know what had gotten into Mateo, he had always kept his distance from me before even after Moreno’s disappearance. I tried not to think about it, but it was so difficult not to. I took a deep breath feeling exhausted, my secretary came to inform me that Mateo was here to see me, and I told her to let him in. Mateo never came to my office, I just prayed it wasn’t about last night.I heard a knock on the door, “come in,” I said calmly taking a deep breath.“Hi,” Mateo said giving me a look I tried so hard to ignore. “Hi, you never come to see me. I guess this must be urgent.” I said.“No, not really, and I’m sorry I haven’t been around here much.” He said as he started walking towards me and he sat on my table like it was the most random thing to do. I took a deep breath trying to ignore how close we were.“You don’t have to apologize, we all have a lot on our plates right now,” I said and wa
