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
Isabella's povEverything seemed to be going well in my life all of a sudden, it felt like my life has started from the scratch and there's nothing like a horrible past. I have my dad, my kids and then there is Tristan also. It felt like my life had suddenly become good and things were moving smoothly for me.I followed Tristan because he was really upset with me for keeping such important information away from him because if my dad wasn't found and he wasn't on the dining he wouldn't have known that the reason why our relationship was kept the secrets is because of my dad. “I'm sorry Tristan, I didn't know how to tell you because at that time Dad was nowhere to be found.” “That's my issue, so if your Dad wasn't found there is no possibility that we will be together in the end. It was always going to be a secret relationship till the very end.”“No, the truth was meant to come out eventually and you’ll get to know the reason why I was actually keeping it a secret.” Tristan looked
Writer's povAfter a few days, James was fully recovered and even though he had a few months to live he was ready to live the months to the fullest with his daughter and try not to let anything come between them.“Good morning dad.” Bella greeted him with a smile on her face. James wasn't feeling too good but he had to act like he's fine because he didn't want them to worry too much about him.“Good morning Bella, you look really good.” He tried complementing his daughter. James was trying to do things that he hasn't done in a while for his daughter. He knew that most of the things he tried to do now would not be able to cover up for the Lost times but he was trying his best to make sure that he is able to do things for her before his time is up. “Dad, that's unlike you.” Bella said while blushing because it's been a while since her father complemented her like that. “Well it was like me before I thought of remarrying.” Bella knew very well that her daddy was trying his best to make
Writer's povVictoria and Anita were still searching for James, they checked everywhere possible but they were still unable to find him. Victoria was getting more scared and she was looking for means to get herself out of the situation and maybe try to put everything on her mom. “I'm never going down with her.” Victoria muttered to herself while biting her finger. Victoria was already aware of Andrew’s recent plan of trying to find them through the media, their pictures were everywhere on the internet and also on television so it won't take time before they are found and James disappearance would only make it easier for them to be found because he definitely would not keep his mouth shut about being locked up for a very long time. Anita was out of the house because she still had the opportunity to step out as her face was not all over the internet like Victoria's. She was trying her best to find James because she knew for a fact that she is the cause of everything that is going on.
Isabella povFor a moment I felt like I didn't deserve to cry because if I had behaved like a good child to him this wouldn't be happening, if only I had given him good listening ears maybe he wouldn't be in this condition. Judging from the way he was laying on the bed I could tell he was in a critical state. I couldn't go closer to him because I felt guilty. “What happened? Why was he found by the roadside? Was he robbed? Did they harm him? Please can you tell me exactly what happened and why he is lying here?” I asked Kendrick.Kendrick placed his hand on my shoulder trying to calm me down because I was asking too many questions at the same time and he didn't know the one to answer first.“Bel, hey look at me nothing is going to happen to your dad trust me.” Kendrick said to me even though I know he was trying to make me feel better I still did not appreciate the fact that he was saying such a thing when obviously my dad is in a critical state.“Kendrick I appreciate that you are
Isabella's PovAfter several weeks of trying to find Victoria but to no avail, I was shocked to see her news all over the internet. I couldn't believe that he would go to such an extent just to make sure he finds Victoria and punishes her for what she did.What bothered me the most was my dad. I hoped everyday that he wasn't in with them on this horrible plan of destroying Andrew's life because if he is a part I would also make sure that he pays.My phone hasn't been with me for some hours now and the kids aren't back from school. I decided to go upstairs to the room and pick up my phone. On heading upstairs my head kept hurting after taking medication but it still wouldn't stop. I wonder why.When I got upstairs I saw my phone on the bed. I immediately picked it up and shockingly I missed a lot of calls. The call was from a strange number which made me wonder who would call several times with a strange number, definitely it has to be someone I know because he/she has my number.Just
Writer's pov“You care?” Victoria asked again and started laughing just like she did earlier.“Vict….”“Don't you dare try to be a mother now, because when I needed that love the most you never showed it, you told me to grow up and never act like a child because you would never treat me like a mother will treat her child so what changed? Why are you trying to act like you really do care about me?”Anita was quiet when she heard what Victoria said, she knew for a fact that she was guilty of everything that Victoria mentioned but she did all those things out of ignorance without realizing how much it will hurt her daughter. “I really…” Victoria raised her hand once again to stop her mom from talking. She has been cutting Anita short each time Anita tries to say anything.“Now is not the time to act like a mother. What is more important right now is to find out where James is and stop him from doing anything stupid right now.” Victoria said to Anita and they both started thinking of way
Writer's povAndrew came back to his senses the moment he realized he is beginning to have a soft spot for her again, remembering that she is the one that ruined his life.“Victoria, I don't care about what's going on in your life right now. What matters the most to me is that you return here and explain to the authorities that I have no hand in the current bad dealings the construction company is going through.”Victoria was suddenly quiet when she heard what Andrew said. She couldn't reply to him because he was talking about her biggest problem here right now. If she is found she will be the one to take responsibility for what's going on in the company right now. “I don't know what you're talking about. I will be coming soon so we can finalize our divorce that's the only thing that I care about right now.” Victoria concluded and ended the call immediately she picked up her cigarettes and started smoking. Even though Victoria acted tough she still wasn't very confident, but what she
Writer's pov Tristan and Bella were shocked to hear the conclusion that Andrew came up with. Bella has known Andrew for years and how immature he could be most times especially in situations like this so she knew very well that he was going to request for something as stupid as what he just requested for. In as much as it sounded stupid it was actually the best idea so save the kids the stress of choosing between both parents who they want to be with if the case gets to court. “Don't push me Andrew. You fucking kicked me out of your house! You told me that you don't want me anymore. You said a lot of hurtful things to me, so what is going on now? Why are you going back to your words? I am still following what you said with that mouth of yours so what changed?” Bella asked curiously. She was panting really fast, there was so much left that she wanted to say to him but she stopped herself from saying too much because right now they are in a critical state of either of them losing custo
Isabella’s pov Seeing Andrew in my house was a big shock to me that I didn't know when I screamed at my kids, I'm very sure they were upset with me but I didn't want them anywhere close to Andrew because I had a feeling that he might have already found out that they are his children and he kept it a secret because him coming here unannounced was kind of suspicious. He and Tristan barely talk at the moment so he clearly wasn't here to speak to Tristan. He is definitely here to say something about the kids or about the both of us even though I have told him several times that it's never going to happen again. “Visiting this house is not your specialty so what exactly are you here for? I know very well that there are no present contracts to be signed so why did you come all the way to my house?” Tristan said to him when he was taking time to reply to the question that I asked, I can already tell the reason why he was here but what I don't understand is why he isn't saying anything. He
