Isabella’s pov

“Good morning, my prince and princess.” I walked into their room trying to wake them up.

“oh, mom, please don’t do this today. It’s weekend for crying out loud. “Pete said as he was finding it hard to get up from the bed.

“Are you really going to be like this right now?” I asked both of them and none answered because they were fast asleep.

I decided to leave them there and go do the chores I was doing earlier, I stopped because I wanted to wake them up but since they have both refused to wake I decided to leave them alone. While I was putting everything in place in their room, I came across something that Pete drew. I turned to look at him after seeing his drawing, it seemed as though even if he’s not saying it he might need a father figure in his life. Everything in his drawing book was a complete family image which means that’s what he wants the most. I didn’t know how to feel after seeing this.

I didn’t know when tears welled down my eyes because this is what I wa

Patience and Anna were shocked to see her run away just when the doctor was about to talk to them. “Bella,” Anna tried calling her but she didn’t turn back.

    “Drew darling, breakfast is ready!” Isabella Thompson stepped back from the table and scanned the different dishes she had managed to prepare that morning. It was their third anniversary and she had hoped to make it special. “Drew?” She called again when she didn't get a response and she heard a door close. “Hurry or it'll get cold.” “That's all you know how to do,” she heard from behind her as she picked the serving spoon to start dishing. Isabella turned on her heels with a frown and stared quizzically at her mother in law. “Marissa, what's going on?” The older woman looked completely livid and her usually calm eyes were like a storm. “Mum, what is wrong? You look…” Marissa Harrison scoffed and pointed a finger in Bella's confused face. “You're such a snake. How long has this been going on?” Isabella was dumbfounded. What was Marisa talking about? “Mum, I don't…” Marissa cut her off before she could finish. “Don't you dare play dumb! How long have you been cheat

    Divorce papers? Bella was stunned. Andrew wanted to divorce her? Wasn't he going to find out if the photos were there? Wasn't he going to….? “Hello? Bella?” Bella snapped out of her thoughts and grunted. “I'm at the hospital. Can you come here?” “At the hospital? What are you doing at the hospital?” Bella didn't respond. She had no intention of telling him anything that could get back to Andrew. “Text me the address of the hospital and I'll be there.” Bella hung up and texted him the address before lying down on the bed and closing her eyes. No matter how much she tried, she couldn't sleep. Her thoughts kept roaming wild and free and she couldn't stop them. Soon, she felt tears rolling down her cheeks but she didn't make a move to stop them and just let it fall. She sobbed quietly, the pain of Andrew's hasty decision to divorce her weighing heavily on her mind. How could he just toss her away like that? How come when a man cheated it was just support to be forgive

    FIVE YEARS LATER “Mummy, can I have that giant pink candy? It looks so delicious,” “All done sweetie,” Isabella cooed and kissed her son, Pete on his forehead before turning to look at his sister, her daughter, Patience. “Let's get our bags first baby and then we can get it if you want.” Her phone rang as she rose up and she slipped it out of her back pocket. She let out a long sigh when she saw who it was but answered anyway. “Why can't you ever be responsible?” was the first thing she heard when she placed the phone against her ear and afterwards it was an onslaught of different insults. She bore all of them without saying a single word as she was already used to it. “Get here in the next five minutes or forget being my daughter.” She clicked her tongue as the dial tone rang in her ear and looked down at her daughter who was already staring up at her, her cute face itched with worry. “How about we go get that pink candy now dear?” The little girl's eyes grew w

    “Two timer you say?” Andrew sneered, as he looked down on Bella. Bella stood up and sighed. “How do you explain this? You are suddenly married to my stepsister. How long have you been seeing her?” He scoffed. “You don't get to ask me questions.” he rolled his eyes. “Even if I was cheating, you slept with all those men so how could you point fingers at me?” Bella choked back a sob. He hadn't denied her accusations. “You'll regret this.” “And just what do you think you can do to me?” he crossed his hands across his chest. Bella ignored him and turned to walk away but he grabbed her arm tightly. “How dare you walk away when I haven't asked you to leave?” Bella struggled to free herself from his grasp but it was useless since he was more powerful. “Let me go,” “Stop struggling, it's pointless.” he chuckled, shaking his head. “Let me go!” Suddenly, Andrew let go off her hand and Bella fell backwards. However she didn't hit the ground as two powerful muscular

    Isabelle’s povAfter getting out of the car I walked down to the apartment I was living in with my kids. I can’t believe he actually betrayed me like that. Andrew has been the only one in my life and I have never thought of doing anything that would jeopardize our relationship but this is how he paid me back, framing me like this just to have my sister. The whole thing was getting clearer to me that it was their plan from the beginning. They probably were madly in love and the only way they can be together is if they kick me out. Realizing this, I decided to start my life all over and start working so I can earn enough to give my kids a better life. Only then can I get the revenge I want. While going through several companies, they kept rejecting me, and some even insulted me for being unable to keep my family so I’m not stable. I tiredly turned off my system and laid on the bed. Just then my kids rushed into the room. “Mummy,” Pete called and laid beside me. And Patience laid at

It was time for lunch and everyone had already gone to the office restaurant to get what to eat but I couldn’t go because I felt like I wouldn't be welcomed there.

This is the reason why Bella almost thought she was not being completely honest with her because she keeps asking so many questions, questions that make her seem like a spy to Bella.“Why do you ask?” Bella asked her. Anna thought they had already gotten close to a certain extent that’s why she asked but seeing Bella’s reply made her think otherwise. “I’m sorry if it came out the wrong way, I was only wondering if the kids can go to school together.

    ISABELLA’S POVWhen I got to the office I stood there for a few minutes waiting to hear what he had to say. After waiting for some minutes Tristan raised his head to look at me. “I can see you are holding up well and now you want to cling unto my uncle?” “What are you trying to say?” I asked him angrily and inhaled sharply because I was trying not to say anything that will make Tristan fire me or put me in a bad spot because they are family.“Are you upset?” He asked me angrily. I didn’t know what to say to him when he asked the question he asked because I should be the one upset but instead he was the one upset with me.“Sir, what can I help you with? If there’s nothing I would like to be excused for, I have something important to do. I said to him and excused myself from his office. “Don’t you dare walk out on me.” I paused walking the moment I heard what he said about me. I folded my hands angrily in a fist as I turned back to look at him so that I could hear what he had to say.

    Isabella’s povA lot was going on in my head after hearing about Andrew's surprising visit to the office. I was scared of going back to my desk because I didn't know what he would do if he saw me there. There's been this strong hatred he has for me ever since what happened. “Bella lets go.” Anna said to me because we were the only ones left in the cafeteria as the time for lunch had already passed. “Anna you can go, I'll be there soon.” I said to Anna trying to let her go without me because there's no way I'm going to that office knowing well that Andrew is around. “Why? Tell me what's going on because you've been very different since I told you about Andrew's visit to the company.” I raised my head to look at her because she's been doing too much already. “What is it you want to hear so desperately? Huh?” I asked her angrily in a strict tone and walked away. I just had no other choice but to return to the office just because Anna would not let me breathe until I told her my life

I couldn’t help but smile while I was listening to her and the shock on her face was so amusing that I couldn’t help but smile while she was talking. “I figured out there might be a way for me to escape the constant nagging from the upper ups, and that would be coming early to work everyday.” I explained to Anna who couldn’t hide her shock. “Now let’s see what they would say, let’s see how they would try to find something against you.” Anna said to me with a smile on her face. She headed back to her desk and Jacob walked into the office.

    Isabella povAfter a very strenuous first day I got home tired. “Mummy.” Pete hugged me while I was sitting calmly on the couch. Just then Patience joined us, but they didn’t look happy. I could tell when my kids were happy and when they were sad. Seeing the look on her face I could tell she wasn’t happy. “Patience, come here,” I said to her with a loving tone. Patience didn’t come to me instead she hissed and walked away. I was confused, Patience has never done such a thing to me. “Did anyone annoy her in school?” I asked Pete worriedly. Patience has never acted that way towards me. She is usually the loving little girl in the house so why is she acting this way now?“I’m not sure.” Pete replied. I suddenly remembered I couldn’t pick them from school myself. That's why she is angry at me. I heaved a sigh and stood up to go meet her. “Don’t go, you’re only going to make her even more upset.” Pete said to me. I stood looking at him after he stopped me from going to see his sister i
