“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.

    Writer's povThe conversation between Marissa and Anita wasn't going well; it felt more like a chess game where they were check mating each other at every stop. “I have to be on my way now.” Anita said as she pretended to check the time like she had somewhere important to be, when actually she didn't have anywhere to go, she just wanted to go because Marissa was making her feel sick already with the way she was bragging about her trip to Paris, even though it was clear that Anita was not interested in the gist she was intentionally choking it on her. “No, that’s totally unacceptable, you will have to join us for dinner, you barely come here and you want to leave just like that? I won’t let you.” Marissa said while insisting that Anita doesn’t leave so she can join them to have dinner. Anita rolled her eyes as she was not pleased but she had no other choice, she comforted herself with the fact that in less than a year her daughter will be able to take everything, she will be able to

    Isabella povJust when I thought things had started getting better here, Camilla just had to come, she’s been a thorn in my flesh since she got here, she’s always looking for opportunities to say hurtful words to me. I woke up and sat on the bed feeling tired and hopeful that Camilla doesn’t misbehave today. All of a sudden I remembered what happened yesterday and the way she was looking, I was almost sure I saw it clearly but I couldn’t conclude just like that until I am completely sure that she’s really pregnant, but seeing her belly like that made it clear that she was expecting a baby, the look on her face as well, she seemed guilty. “Oh Bella, why are you thinking about that right now, it’s none of your business.” I said to myself trying to convince myself to stop thinking about things that shouldn’t be bothering me. I stood up from the bed and walked out of the room. When I opened the kids room, I noticed they were still asleep so I thought of leaving them to get enough rest

    Isabella povWhile I was on my way to go see Anna, I was not feeling comfortable about the whole thing because how is she pregnant and she doesn’t want him to know about the baby. I was wondering why she was doing everything to make sure that Tristan doesn’t know about the baby, and Tristan that I know well will not deny the baby.I feel that’s the best way for her to get into the house. After a short ride I finally arrived at the venue she was waiting for me. “I’m so sorry I took too long to get here.” I said to her the moment I got to where she was standing. She looked really exhausted so I could tell she must have been standing for a long time because of me. “What took you so long? Are the kids okay?” Anna asked, feeling concerned. I nodded my head the moment I heard what she asked. “So why did you spend too long at home?” Anna asked. “I was busy with something so I couldn’t come early as we planned.” I said to her and we both started going to the place. Anna could already tell

    Writer’s povCamilla was wondering why Bella was suddenly acting strange, which is not very much like her. “Having a conversation with you is pointless.” Camilla said and walked away. Bella clenched her teeth when Camilla walked away. She hated that she had to go to such an extent just because she wants what’s best for her kids and at the end of the day she didn’t feel too bad about what she did because she was doing it for her kids, she was doing it for them to be able to live a good and happy life where they always smile. When Camilla got to her room she slammed the door angrily and sat on the bed. She was too upset because of the way Bella spoke to her. She was also scared because Bella was telling the absolute truth, she didn’t tell a lie. The thought that Bella might already know the truth is what was making her even more upset. “I will not let her get what she wants, I know what she’s plotting but I’m not going to let her have it.” Camilla muttered angrily while she was in th

    Writer’s povMarissa was still shocked by Victoria‘a character a few minutes ago, she was wondering why Victoria would act that way in the first place when it’s really her duty to make sure the birthday party is a success. “I don’t get her, Andrew, is there anything wrong in what I said?” Marissa asked Andrew because she was confused and she wanted to know her offense so that she could know if she was really at fault. “Mom, you said she would be a good wife and you are a very good judge of character, why don’t you ask her what’s wrong with her? That way you would know why she’s acting this way,” Andrew said to Marissa and walked away. Marissa was the only confused one right now? She was still trying to think of what she must have said wrong to Victoria that made her react the way she did. She thought of calling Anita but that would only make it seem like a very serious misunderstanding so she devised not to take it to such an extent and just try to talk some sense into Victoria, th

    Andrew povHearing my mom speak in such a tone made me realize it must be something more serious than I imagined. “I warned you that I want you to be the one in charge of my birthday party and you still went ahead to go against my request and you had the guts to introduce her to me? What do you take me for Victoria?” Victoria looked as shocked as I was when I heard the real reason why she was upset. I thought it was not something that is supposed to make her as upset as she was sounding. “Mom, please calm down.” “Don’t tell me to calm down! I have taken all her nonsense but this time I’m not going to take the nonsense she has dished!” Marissa said angrily. “Mom, I was only trying to give you the best birthday party, I didn’t know it was going to upset you if I hired a planner for your birthday, only a planner would be able to give you that birthday party you want.”“Bella gave it to me several times.” Victoria and I turned to look at her the moment we heard her call Bella again.

    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

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.
