PHIL “Fuck! Fuck!! Fuck!! I hit my hand violently on the steering wheel as I drove out of the airport. This was the first time in a long time that I was driving by myself. I left my guards at the airport; they would find their way back to the house. I needed to be alone at that point; I couldn't get Bella’s image off my mind. Contrary to what everyone was thinking, I am not going crazy; I know who I saw. I couldn’t get my mind off of Bella’s image in my head. I packed my car by the side of the road as I sniffed her scent off of my hand; it was so strong that it was still smelling on my skin. She smelled like citrus and vanilla, with a faint note of oud. I closed my eyes, and it was as if I met an angel.Bella’s skin was so soft, her hair was long and fell over her back, she wore a Zara long-sleeve bodycon dress, and her curves were pronounced; she was curvier than Isabel, which was very strange. Her eyes were still as piercing as I remembered, and when I stood close to her, I felt

PhillMy guard contacted me to inform me that he had gotten my guards to surround Bella.I was almost close to the airport when he called."Good. Just keep her there. You'll see me soon," I said.As soon as the car stopped, I dashed out of the car, racing into the airport. All my mind and my heart were on Bella. I needed to see her and this boy with her.When I got there I saw Bella raging at the guards, ordering them to move away.The sight of her beauty struck me. It's been six years since I last saw her, and she's looking like a goddess."Who are you, people?" She yelled, holding her son close.My guards tried to keep her calm, but she wouldn't budge. I noticed another group of men in suits showing up to fight off my men.This got me drawing closer at once."Stop!" I ordered them to stop.Bella looked at me quickly, giving a strange stare, like one who wasn't surprised to see me.Seems she already knew it was me through the guards."Bella? Is this how you say hello after disappear

PhillSix years have passed since Bella left me. I couldn't trace her whereabouts after that night. It was like she disappeared from the surface of this world.Since that time, I've been down, filled with nothing but guilt in my heart, wishing I had known about the condition she was in."How long will you continue to sulk?" Timothy asked me.We were sitting at a restaurant attending to a business matter, but everything changed when I saw a lady putting on a similar dress to Bella's.It's the same design as the one she wore the night I invited her to me and Isabel's party.That dress took my mind back to those years I spent maltreating Bella, making me regret ever doing such a thing."Did I contribute to her death?" I asked myself."What?" Timothy asked, bringing me out of my state."It's nothing," I lied, drinking my wine."Dude, stop overthinking for heaven's sake. How long will you hold on to the past? " Tim asked me."You are married to a beautiful and sexy lady like Isabel. Just l

PHILLAfter spending one month with that woman, it was time to finally get my freedom away from her.My family did me wrong by arranging for that woman to be my bride. They ruined my plans by marrying us both.I would have gotten rid of her a long time ago if she had signed those papers, but her obsession with being my wife kept her by my side.But when she made that deal, I felt pleased."I still don't know why she made that deal," I said, finding it strange."What does she want to gain from it?""Isn't it obvious?" Isabel shrugged at me."I bet she has seen a new lover and just used this one month to play her final role as your wife.""A new lover? Don't make me laugh," I chuckled, knowing that Bella doesn't have someone who'll be dating her."To me, she's unfit to please any man. She's just so..." I paused, thinking of all the times I spent with her in the past month."She's just so..." I couldn't complete my statement.The days I spent with her have left a different view in me. Sh

BELLA "A real couple? What game are you playing here?!" Isabel was sparked on hearing my request."Don't listen to this bitch. She's just envious of the fact that she can't have you, so she wants to use this divorce nonsense to get you.""I am serious here," I defended myself."If you can do this for just a month, I'll sign the divorce papers you prepared for me back then, and you will get the freedom you want," I said, showing my seriousness to Phill.My husband stared at me like he was studying me. His girlfriend kept yammering and objecting to my request."Let go of me; you are hurting me!! Phil put me down and fixed his gaze on me as i tried to catch my breath "Fine then. I'll do it," Phill accepted, leaving my heart pounding at his decision. "Phill! Why?!" Isabel yelled out."Hold it, Isabel. This is what she wants, right? " He said, dropping his gaze on me."I will give you what you want. I'll be your husband for a month. But if you fail to keep to your end of the deal, I'

Bella"You are useless!" Phill roared, pushing me to the floor.I fell to the hard tiles, hurting my knee while crying."How dare you ignore her order? She asked you for a drink, and you refused?! How dare you?!" Phill yelled.I felt so scared that I had to stay down, crying out of fear that he'd hurt me further."She's useless, my love. Let her stay there on the floor where she belongs," Isabel, my husband's girlfriend, said, calming Phill.I lifted my eyes to see Phill and Isabel kissing, as she convinced him to ignore me, mocking me at the same time."Just leave her. Let's head inside and get down to business," Isabel said, caressing his chest in my presence.I felt my heart weaken on seeing how Phill drooled over Isabel's words and touch. It made me wish he had shown all this love to me in our three years of marriage."You're right. Let's go," he decided, glaring at me."She's nothing but a useless woman," he insulted, grabbing Isabel from the waist and walking away with her.I wa
