I smiled, adjusting my poise. We disembarked, stepping into the crisp evening air. A sleek black car waited for us, its engine purring softly. "Darwin's villa?"

Chapter: Chapter 17: Not so bad afterall.Bella's POV. I wailed, my chest tight. The very people I swore to destroy fed me their feets to eat, I even apologised to that bitch camilla putting myself in a state where she could step over me. "look who it is! The righteous bitch who thinks everything should go her way." she let out, they both chuckled, "how does it feel being in the very spot that suits you _ beneath me." she spat. I got up wanting to ignore and head to where Alex was, when she suddenly slapped me, pushing me to the floor. "ouch" my mouth gave out as my skin rubbed against the hard floor. "That is where you belong! Next time in executive hangers like this, watch where your going because everyone here is higher than you." She said her voice dripping with hate. 'How was this thing, ever my bestfriend?' I questioned. "you're just a joke Bella, ". Jake sneered. "A pathetic little nobody.

Chapter: Chapter 15: Unknown fiancée.Alex's POV"pff, you act like you want me!" she questioned.I gazed at Bella, my secretary, standing in my office. Her usually composed demeanor had given way to distraction."I want you...to leave my office," I diverted, my voice firm. I couldn't let myself get swayed by weak emotions.

The scheduled time for the meeting was approaching, and I couldn't afford distractions."You are my secretary, you should know about the meeting in few hours right! So, why are you sti

Chapter: Chapter 13: push and Pull.Bella's pov. The sun shined brightly welcoming the new day. A normal Monday morning, In fact it was not just a monday, it was the first day of my phase 2. Yesterday's event still lingered and I was going to use that to my advantage. I stretched swinging my legs over to the other side of the bed, my feet dangling in the air. I headed to the bathroom, took a refreshing shower, after which I picked a lovely outfit. I stared at my reflection in the mirror and I looked good. I needed to charge up for the day so I prepared my instant coffee and toast. weirdly enough, I was in the mood for some music, I felt so good. I put on the television switching to a music channel. I hummed in sync with the song that was being played as I sipped my coffee taking a bite from my toast. After I was done eating, I felt energised and ready for whatever was out there. I put on my shoes carried my bag and headed out the door and ofcourse my hair was perfect. Getting to the office everyone welcome
