Andrew pov

Hearing 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. S

    Writer’s povVictoria could already tell from his facial expression that he was not happy when he saw them, though he had a fake smile on his face she couldn’t still tell it was fake. Victoria was completely tired of the whole nonsense going on, she was finally ready to leave the marriage because she cannot continue staying in a marriage that makes her anxious. She is always scared that one day the marriage will end and everything she was trying to hold unto would be gone. The thought clouded her head today when Marissa was yelling at her angrily. She realized she was not cut out to be that devoted wife she thought she would be when she gets married to Andrew. Even though her mother’s intention when she was getting her married to Andrew was for her to get everything that belongs to him, she was still going to do her mind, she was willing to go against her mom and follow her heart, but after the constant irritation from Marissa she just knew she couldn’t continue again.

    Writer’s povVictoria was in shock even though she knew the reply she would give already. She was still pretending to be shocked so that it wouldn't look like she already had a particular answer in her head. “Mom, I know that you have always supported me because you want what’s best for me but now it’s time for you to let go of my marriage, you don’t have to come running here when I send you an harmless text message. I’m a woman now and I have a family now, they love me and treat me well too.” Marissa smiled when she heard what Victoria said. Andrew on the other hand was wondering why he listened to her with a soft heart, he realized he was relieved to hear her say she was not leaving. He didn’t realize it immediately until he found himself smiling. “What is wrong with you Andrew?” He asked himself and walked away angrily.“Mom, I’m staying with my new family, it’s been seven years already, you don’t expect me to leave them and come to you just like that, I’m sorry mom.” Victoria sa

    Isabella povTristan and I decided to go to the mall to get something’s before going to the kids school, I’m sure they will be very happy to see us together, while we were driving to the school we couldn’t stop talking and laughing at the same time, all of a sudden I started to imagine how happy they would have been if he was their father, he was just too intentional about them that you would think he’s their father, he listens to their needs and always try to make them happy. At first I thought he was doing all of this for his own benefit but getting to know him better I realized he was doing it just to put a smile on my kids face, he just wants to see them happy as much as I also do want to see them happy, he is ready to do everything just to see that smile on their faces. After a long drive we arrived at the school. We talked so much that I didn’t realize the long distance anymore. We both stepped out of the car and headed inside the school. When we both got in I realized other

    Isabella povWhile I was in the room all by myself for a while I decided to step out of the room and see the kids and then maybe step out of the house for some fresh air. The moment I stepped on the stairs I turned to look at the sitting room then I noticed a familiar face sitting on the couch. “Oh my goodness.” I covered my mouth with my hand when I saw Andrew sitting there and having a conversation with Tristan. I rushed to the kids room so that I could stop them from stepping out of the room. I need to stop them no matter what, they mustn’t see him because they already saw his picture and I lied to them that he was my best friend, if they see him they would start asking questions.“Why is he here all of a sudden?” I asked myself and placed my hand on my head, I couldn’t tell what he wanted and why he chose to visit all of a sudden. Tristan said they don’t talk to the extent of visiting each other so why is he here now?“Mom, can you tell us why you are stopping us from stepping ou

    Isabella povResuming work again today was a mix of both happy and sad. I was wondering how they would behave towards me after taking about two weeks leave from work. I needed it to reset my thinking and I think I got what I wanted because finally I will be able to start work without thinking about what anyone has to say about me. “Would you prefer riding with me?” Tristan asked as he joined us at the dinning. While everyone was seated I was wondering why one person was missing. I haven’t seen her this morning so I don’t think she has stepped out of the house. Tristan also noticed that she was not on the dining with us. I know he was relieved but I wasn’t. I don’t want to be the reason for their sudden distance. “I’ll go get her.” I said to Tristan and headed upstairs. After knocking for a while she was not opening the door. “Camilla. I’m coming in.” I said while opening the door. When I walked into the room I noticed that everything was gone, her bags and everything that belonged

    Writer’s povAnna strongly denied telling Jacob about Bella's kids which threw Bella into an awkward spot. She was wondering how he got to know that she had kids, because he kept asking about them each time he called, which made her conclude that Anna must have spilled to him. “If she didn’t tell him then how did he find out?” Bella asked herself as she was trying to wrap the whole thing around her head, she started wondering if Jacob had been following her and she was not aware of it. “Bella!” One of the senior staff yelled her name angrily. She scoffed and turned to look at Anna. “Well, that’s a good welcome call.” Anna said to her as she was leaving. “I know that right?” Bella replied. “Why am I just getting this report!” He yelled angrily and threw the files on the table angrily. “Explain!” Bella closed her eyes because his voice was too loud for her. “Sir I was away from work for weeks, there’s no way I would have submitted when it was my day off.” Bella tried explaining to

    Writer’s povJacob didn’t look shocked to hear the question that Bella asked him which made Bella sure that he knew what he was talking about. “I knew a while before Anna got to know, it was two days after you resumed here, I was taking a walk when I sighted you with the kids, I wanted to call you but then I realized you didn’t tell anyone about your kids which means you were keeping their existence a secret from us, I just played along,” Bella was shocked to hear what she said. She never knew he was such a gentle man, listening to him now made her start seeing the good side of him. He looked so manly while he was talking. “I couldn’t have guessed you were aware, you played it well.” Bella said to him and let out a soft smile. “I have liked you for a while.” Bella choked on the water she was drinking. Anna was returning to the table when she saw Bella coughing. “Oh my, I have told you several times to eat gently.” Anna said as she sat on the chair and started patting Bella’s back

    Isabella pov“Did you just hear that?” His friend asked, they were already close to the place where he would drop but he was more concerned about hearing my voice from behind. He looked at the back seat and the only thing that was visible was the clothes that were used to cover me where I was. I felt like throwing up because of the rate at which he was speeding. “We’re here.” Tristan said to him and I was even more relieved to hear it. “Why don’t we go to your house together?” He requested and Tristan rejected it immediately. “Are you tired of me? Why does it seem like you are avoiding me? Have I done anything wrong? Did I do anything to make you feel this way towards me?” I just needed him out of the car so that I could come out of the mess I put myself into. “I’ll tell you the day you can visit, right now I’m barely at home.” Tristan announced to him trying to tell him to go. But he still insisted on going with him. “That reminds me, that lady you employed, are you checking

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.
