Isabelle povI was not expecting to see him in the house, seeing him again in the house made my heart beat faster than normal. It felt like I was about to collapse. With the way he was looking at me and the way he was talking I could tell he was finding it hard to forgive me. He was probably thinking there’s no way he would forgive me after what I did and now he’s seeing me in his uncle’s house. “I’m sorry…”“You don’t have to apologize,” I stopped him immediately because it was really not his fault that I was living such a miserable life, the only mistake he made was taking me in when I was at my lowest because now Andrew is going to be wary of him. “I really didn’t want it to get to this extent. I never knew he would be here. I would have stayed somewhere until he was gone,"I said while panicking. I have known Andrew for a long time and I know how petty he can be, he’s not going to stop here. He’s going to make my life a living hell in the company, so much that I will want to qu
Bella povAfter making up with the kids I promised them I would never lie to them again. “Pinky promise?” Patience said and brought her finger for the pinky promise, I can't believe she really wants a pinky promise with me.I had no other choice but to do it else we might be back to square one of our misunderstanding.“Have you forgiven me?” I asked them after the pinky promise. Patience turned to look at her brother and they both nodded their heads. I hugged them warmly. We all forgot Tristan was there. We were having a mother and children bond that we forgot he was standing there watching us.“Uncle Tristan, come join us.” The kids said to Tristan, I was shocked when I heard them. They were really telling him to join the hug crew without asking if I'll be fine with it, these kids really don't care about what I think.It was still a little awkward between Tristan and I after Andrew’s sudden visit, I felt embarrassed standing near him because he heard do many horrible things Andrew s
Writer's povThe next morning.The first thing Andrew woke up to was the calls that Tristan left on his phone. He was wondering why Tristan called so many times. He was too tired last night which made him fall asleep earlier than normal. He feared that Tristan might think he was avoiding his call because of the little misunderstanding they had earlier. He picked up his phone and tried calling back but this time Tristan was not picking the call.After several phone calls Tristan was not picking so he didn't bother trying anymore, he just thought when he gets to work he will meet with Tristan and that way they will be able to talk well and have a conclusion.“Good morning.” Victoria greeted with a smile on her face, Andrew smiled back at her as he got up from the bed. They had started living like true couples, they don’t have disagreements anymore like they used to, they were suddenly peaceful but it was too late because Victoria and her mom already had everything planned out and this
Isabella povWhen I got to work I noticed that I was quite earlier than usual and there was no one on our floor yet. The thing that troubled me the most was that Andrew starting work today will be on the same floor with us.I can't imagine the torture he's going to put me through in this place. I heaved a sigh as I thought about the things he's capable of doing.After a while most of the staff started arriving and I was relieved to see them. Andrew walked in and everyone comported themselves, it was still bothersome to me as to why he chose to be on the floor with my team, he's supposed to have a different floor, that would save him the stress of seeing my ugly face everyday. But he chose to be petty and decided to choose my floor.I heaved a sigh when he walked past my desk. I know he's not going to be easy on me, he's here to frustrate me.Just as I was thinking my land phone rang and I picked it immediately. He didn't even settle well before deciding to call me. “Bella report to
Victoria povIt was first time being the one in charge of the company owned by Andrew, I still don't know why he decided to give me such position making mom and I plan to work faster than expected, I was in charge of the company finance and everything that the company had, all that's left is for me to request for the company document, that way I will be able to take charge.I couldn't think of a better way to ask Andrew for it, I was trying to take everything once at a time, I didn't want to drop any sign that'll make him suspect me and my mom.My first thing to handle here was the board meeting. I had to introduce myself finally and let them know who I am and why I'm here.I was seated in the boardroom waiting for all of them to arrive, being the one in charge made me so happy, if only Andrew had treated me well all along I wouldn't have become so greedy for his position and now that I don't feel anything anymore he's trying to be that guy towards me, it's just too late already. It's
Writers povI finally had the opportunity to leave the office for lunch, while Jacob, Anna and I were eating. I couldn't get over the shock I felt when I heard the senior staff call my name with so much anger. At this point it had already gotten very tiring but I had no other choice but to keep the job. That's the only way I can provide what my kids need even though Tristan was already helping. I didn't want to put the load on him because of his good will.“Why do you look sad Bella?” Anna asked, she was clearly feeling bad for me and that's something I don't want. I don't want any of them to feel pity for me.“I'm fine Anna, just stressed.” I replied to her. Jacob was quiet all through the time we were talking. After the last time he told me about his feelings he hasn't talked about it again which made me feel bad because I didn't even give him any response. I don't know if he still feels bitter about it or if he has decided to let go of the feelings he has for me. I couldn't stop
Writer's povBella was shocked and disappointed when she heard what the senior staff and Andrew were talking about. Apparently Andrew was the one responsible for everything that was said to Bella by the senior staff earlier. Bella couldn't believe her ears as she heard them talking about it and also complaining about how stubborn she is because she knew Andrew was capable of doing anything but she never knew he would stoop so low to do such a thing.She covered her mouth with her hand as she listened to what they were saying. The way she listened to them made her even more desperate to remain in the company and prove them wrong. At this point she was ready to do whatever it takes to prove everyone of them that looked down on her wrong. She walked away after listening to everything they were saying and headed back to her desk. She looked at all the files that were dropped on her table. She started sorting all the files out. “What did he say to you? Did he agree to give you enough t
Isabella pov Listening to the kids made me so happy that I was about to start crying. They are actually the only thing that I have left in this world and I am ready to do anything just to see them happy. While we were having our mother and children time, Tristan walked up to us.“Kids, can I steal your mom for a moment?” Tristan said to them and they nodded their heads in agreement with what Tristan said.“You can choose not to bring her back to us uncle Tristan.” The kids said in unison. Bella couldn't believe her ears. “My goodness are you two giving your precious mom away just like that?” Bella asked them and they started laughing Instead of responding to what I said.Tristan and I went to the other side of the sitting room so we could talk. I could tell from his silence when we got to the other side of the sitting room that he had so much to tell me.“Were you able to find out anything?” I asked him curiously.“Not yet but I will be meeting with Andrew tonight right now he's on
Writer’s POVThe next morning when we woke up Tristan thought of having a conversation with his mother first, he was surprised at first that the door was opened because it is very unlike her to leave the door open when she’s in the room.He decided to go in and when he got into the room, there was nobody there he opened the closet and realized she was gone. Tristan didn’t know how to feel when he found out that Marissa was gone from the house, he realized she must have understood that what she meant yesterday was definitely that she would be leaving since there is no way he will agree to leave Bella just as she wants him too.Tristah headed back to the room so that he could tell Bella about what he just saw, he was really surprised that she left like that without saying anything.“What is it?” Bella asked with the way Tristan rushed into the room she could tell there was something wrong so she was curious to know why he was looking like that abs what might have gone wrong.“She left.”
Writer’s povWhen they got back to the house, Bella was already done moving her things into Tristan’s room. 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. Tristan replied to her almost immediately, he was hoping to hear something meaningful from her. They both went to sit by the house bar and she poured herself a glass of wine and also offered to pour some for Tristan, without hesitating he agreed. After taking a sip of the wine he dropped the cup back on the table waiting to hear what it is that Marissa wants to tell him. “I’m sorry if I have been making you feel uncomfortable.” Tristan was shocked to hear her apologize, he didn’t even bother
Writer's pov Bella realizes now is not a time to start getting upset, instead it's time for them to sit together and plan on how they would start acting until Marissa finally leaves. She went back to the sitting room when she felt like she had already given Tristan enough time to think or get over the reality that Marisa has come to stay with them for a period of time which is unknown to them. Though she knows how hard it is for Tristan to accept it, at the end of the day he can't chase his sister out of his house. “We need to talk.” Bella said to Tristan and sat down beside him. “What do we do now?” Tristan asked curiously. “Are you really asking that right now isn't it obvious already?” “So we have to live like we are real couples right?” Bella sighed when she heard what Tristan said because she told him that day they attended Marissa's birthday that it was not a good idea but he insisted on them faking their relationship, now see where the pretense has led them and even i

Writer's povThe crazy family gathering had already come to an end and Bella could not wait to get back to the house because the journey was such a fruitless one especially with the way Marissa kept rolling her eyes each time she said anything or passed in front of her. It was so uncomfortable for Bella that's why she was very happy when the gathering ended and Tristan came to pick her up.“You didn't have to go.” Tristan said to her while they were heading back to the house. Bella folded her hands around her chest, still very upset. Tristan could tell that she was upset which is why he didn't ask her any more questions.

And why are they all acting like this is all planned?” Victoria asked herself angrily, she was frustrated and angry at the same time with the way everything was playing out because that is not what she was expecting, based on her thought and the way she planned this whole thing she’s supposed to be there already, she’s supposed to be the CEO of the company now.While she was heading back to the house she kept sighing which was disturbing the driver, he thought maybe he was driving too fast and then reduced the speed then she sighed again he also increased the speed.

Isabella povMarissa left the house and I was finally able to come out of hiding, by then the kids were already with Tristan upstairs, I placed my hand on my head tiredly, I just heard everything that Marissa said and she's really serious about not seeing us together, she looked like she was going to do anything to make sure that both of us are not together. The fear that I was feeling was the fact that I had already fallen in love with him and maybe I would have to suppress my feelings for him. I will just make sure to protect myself from falling in love with him.While I was still thinking of the whole thing Tristan walked up to me he could tell that I was worried with the way I was looking. “Are you okay?” Tristan asked and I nodded my head immediately.

Writer’s povMarissa just couldn’t stand the fact that Bella and Tristan were together because of how much she disliked Bella so her biggest mission right now is to do everything in her power to tear them apart, she was willing to go to any length just to make sure they are separated, that’s why she hated it so much that Tristan was being too stubborn about the whole thing. “What are you going to do now? Because nothing you say would make me leave my wife and kids.” Tristan said to Marissa with a straight face. Marissa was confused, she was wondering what it is about Bella that he can’t let go, and why he’s insisting on being with Bella. “She cheated on Andrew.”“She told me about that, and for the record she didn’t cheat.” Saying this Tristan suddenly remembered the plan of exposing the truth. So he realized Marissa would definitely have a copy of the pictures and since she wants to get them separated she’ll make sure to get the pictures. “Sister, you know very well that I don’t l
