Isabella povI followed the kids to his room and when they got there they didn't look shocked, instead they rushed inside excitedly. I was confused.“Why are you two….?” I couldn't finish my statement when I saw what was going on. Before I left he was on the bed laying down weakly and now here he is playing with the kids, the kids will think I was really lying to them.“I knew mom was lying, she just doesn't like seeing us happy?” Pete and Patience said angrily. I was so upset that I wanted to leave the room.Because of my trust issues I almost thought Tristan was trying to make the kids dislike me and take them away from me slowly.“No kids, your mom was not lying. I was really ill, I didn't know she would stop you two from playing in the pool, guess she was just worried about me, she didn't want her kids to lose their best uncle.I walked away angrily when I heard what he said to the kids. I was trying not to get into my feelings, I was trying really hard not to start being too susp

Writer’s povBella walked into the room after standing outside for a while in shock, she was killing herself downstairs thinking about how to apologize to him and they were here planning something mischievous. “Happy birthday!” They shouted the moment she walked into the room. Bella couldn’t help but smile when she saw they were working hard all along to make her smile. She couldn’t hold in the smile as she walked in. “What is this? I can’t believe you all were here all along.” She said to them still covering her mouth with her hand in disbelief of what she saw. She sat on the couch in his room and looked at the cake they prepared for her. “When was this planned? I mean when did you all do this?” Bella asked, then the maid walked into the room. “Sir, the receipt.” She handed it to him and walked away. “Did I get played?” She asked the moment the maid walked away, she finally realized that they were playing her when they faked that illness. “Do you really have water trauma?” Bel

Isabella povBella turned back to look at Tristan when She heard what the stranger said. Bella couldn’t believe she was really asking who She is when She should be the one asking her. “Is there a problem there?” Tristan asked and stood up to see what was going on. “I should be the one asking because you’re the guest here.” The young lady replied Bella rudely. Tristan walked to the door and saw who it was, before he got there she already shoved Bella aside so she could go inside. “Tristan.” She called him lovingly and hugged him warmly. Tristan was wondering what was going on ahd why she suddenly returned to the country without telling him anything. And worst of all she came directly to his house without informing him. “What are you doing here?” Tristan asked, showing his displeasure in seeing her in his house unannounced. “Are you not happy to see me?” She asked him and turned to look at Bella who was still trying to arrange the dinning, though she was shocked to see what was

Isabella pov Hearing him talk about being unable to sleep made me think it might be because of the arrival of his girlfriend, maybe he was thinking we’re going to make her uncomfortable. “I shouldn’t be bothered about her presence right?” Tristan asked and turned to look at me with a smile on his face, my heart melted seeing the smile but I just knew it would be a wrong idea to let myself fall for him immediately. “She’s your girlfriend so you have to be bothered, I mean my kids are here living with you, she might start thinking there’s more to it, she might think we have a kind of relationship and if I were her ? I would feel bad.” I explained to Tristan. “What makes you think she’s my girlfriend?” Tristan asked me. “I thought she was your girlfriend.” “She’s not, we broke up already so I don’t know why she’s here and what she wants.” I turned to look at Tristan when I heard what he said. I was trying to read him to know if he’s telling the truth or he was lying becaus

Writer’s povPete and Patience looked so happy which made Bella even more happy to see them like that. “Do you think they will still try to bully us?” Patience asked when she sighted the bullies walking towards them. “I don’t know, they must have seen us getting out of the car so there’s no way they would try to bully us.” Pete replied as they slowly walked into the school hall. “Pete.” He turned back to look at Tristan when he heard his name. The bullies that were walking towards that direction couldn’t go to them again. “Good thing he came.” Patience said a little above a whisper, she looked really relieved to see him which he noticed. “You forgot this.” Tristan said to them as he was handing the brand new iPad to them. Patience turned to look at Pete when she collected it from him. “I thought of giving it to you at home but I realized most of your school mates have one and they’re all taking it to their classes. They were so stunned that they couldn’t say anything, they just

Isabella pov“What are you saying?” I asked Tristan still finding it hard to believe that so much has been going on but the kids were taking it all in because they didn’t want to hurt me. “They just love their mom too much to the extent they don’t want to see her hurt, that’s why they did what they did.” Tristan explained to me. “No, I should have noticed there was something different about them. I should have been able to tell that they barely had a smile on their faces every time they return from school but it was almost impossible because I had my thing going on here aswell, I prioritized my work over the kids.” “Don’t say that Bella, you swallowed so much just so that you could give them a good life not because you didn’t want to see them happy, you are a good mom and every child deserves a mom like you.” Tristan said to me. I turned to look at him because I thought he was only trying to make me feel better which is why he is talking to me like that and saying so many good thi

Writer’s povWhen the kids closed from school the driver was already waiting for them.“See you tomorrow Pete and Patience.” Their friends said to them with a bright smile on his face as they stepped into the car. The bullies watched from afar. “Is their father really rich?” One of them asked the head bully. “Are you blind, can’t you see the luxurious car they are entering?” He replied angrily. “Why didn’t they change school then?” “They needed to show us that things have changed, I would have done same.” The head bully said and walked away, his minions followed him behind. *******While they were heading home the kids put their iPad back into their bag, they couldn’t believe they were living such luxurious life over night. If Tristan had not found them that day things would have remained the way it used to be. After a very long ride they finally got home, they got out of the car and headed inside the house. When they got in Camilla was in the sitting room eating with her legs

Writer’s pov“What is going on Victoria, why are you not doing anything yet?” Anita asked Victoria angrily. Victoria who was pacing around the sitting room angrily turned to look at her mother. “Mom, don’t you get what I’m talking about? I just told you that I met with Isabelle few days ago, and she’s still here! Why? Why hasn’t she left the country after what happened? Is she thinking she has a chance with Andrew?” “Victoria! Come back to your senses, have you forgotten the plan so soon?” Anita asked Victoria angrily. “We are far behind from the plan we had and you are here talking about that wretched daughter your father had.” “Mom, even if we have a plan I will never let Bella back into his life, I will make sure she never have a chance with him again.” Victoria said to her mother, she has always been jealous of Bella because she was their dad’s favorite daughter but now that he’s no longer as he used to be they have a chance to treat her the way they want. “Victoria, that's n

Marissa was still calm after the conversation with Tristan and when he told her that he’s no longer a child and she should stop acting like he is a child, because in reality that’s what she didn’t want to hear, she was avoiding a situation where she won’t be able to make decisions for him again. “Tristan.” Marissa called Tristan after thinking about all that was said at their dinner date.
