Writer’s pov

Marissa was in her room angrily pacing around the room. She couldn’t get over what her brother told her a few minutes ago about not letting go of Bella's hands even though she told him she doesn't like Bella.

“Mom, you don’t have to worry about Bella, you know how people perceive her. By the time the guests arrive she will regret coming here.” Victoria said to Marissa trying to calm her down.

“I can’t believe my brother will betray me this way, he couldn’t even care about how I will feel.” Marissa explained her displeasure in what Tristan did.

“He might be doing this because he’s not your biological brother, maybe he’s doing this to spite you.” Marissa was mute when she heard what Victoria said. Victoria was pleased because she saw Marissa's facial expression and believed that her words got to Marissa.

“Don’t you ever say such a thing about my brother, I raised him, it was just both of us from the moment he was born. I raised him like his mother so don’t you ever say

I was so pissed that I wanted to tell him never to call my name again. “Bella, I know you are mad at me but please can you let me explain to you? I have been locked up for a while now, I didn’t know so much had already happened while I was locked up in the house by Anita and her daughter.” “Can you listen to yourself dad?” Can you listen to what you are saying?” I asked him angrily while struggling not to cry but I was losing it, memories kept flashing and I just couldn’t help but start crying as I listened to what he was saying. “Please hear me out, I didn’t know all this was happening to you?” “You were at the wedding, you sat there and watched her get married to my hus

Didn’t you know he was getting better? You told me you were going to handle that while I do my part, Is this the result of your hard work? Victoria asked her mother angrily. She was mad at her mother for letting James show up like that. “Where is he now? What if he goes there and starts saying things!” “Shut up Victoria!” Anita yelled angrily. “If you were not slow with your own task we wouldn’t be having this conversation here!” Victoria shook her head when she heard what her mother said. “You’re unbelievable mom, you were supposed to do your own part of the work perfectly, but look at what you ended up doing. He appeared in front of them like that after you lied about him being in the states. “V

She still felt like the evil they did was coming to taunt her.She headed downstairs and gulped a bottle of water at once, she was too scared. Just then Marissa walked in to visit her. She was shocked to see Victoria already up because it was totally unlike Victoria to be awake very early in the morning.“Good morning mom.” Victoria greeted almost immediately.Marissa yawned and collected the bottle of water Victoria was handing to her.“I still can't believe what happened last night. How did Bella ever think of returning here, and worst of all is that she claims to be married to my brother. I really don't know what to think anymore.” Marissa shared her displeasure in meeting Bella again. Victoria was not interested in the conversation because she was more bothered about the secret she and her mother are trying to hide. “Uggh, so much happened yesterday and I just want t

    Isabella povI woke up very early because I could barely sleep after the drama yesterday. I got up from the bed and walked to the toilet where I washed my face and looked at myself through the mirror. So many thoughts crossed my mind as I recalled the drama from yesterday, the looks on their faces when they saw me. The biggest shock from last night was seeing my dad there as well. I couldn't stop thinking about what he told me even though I told myself not to believe him I still couldn't help it. He is my father after all. The person that could not hide how she hated me and could not even fake a smile was Victoria. She looked at me with so much disgust though she couldn't say much because I looked just as good as she did.We could not have a conversation last night, I was too busy trying to avoid my dad. I washed my face again, another flashback from last night when Tristan told me to try and give my dad listening ears just maybe I would realize that there is some truth in what he i

She did not have anything to do with Anita or Victoria, not even Marissa, so she was wondering what Anita came to do at her house.“You don't look happy to see me.” Anita said to Bella as she sat down on the couch comfortably like she was told to sit. “You know you don't have any right to be here so tell me what do you want? why are you here?” Bella asked Anita angrily. Anita could tell from the way Bella was speaking to her that she didn't want to see her in her house. Well neither of them wants to see each other. She has a reason why she visited.“Sit down child.” Anita said to Bella. Pete and Patience headed upstairs when they noticed that the adults were about to have a conversation.

    Writer’s povAnita headed inside the house. “James.” She called him with a fake smile on her face. “What happened? I have been looking for you.” She said pretending like she really cares about him. James looked at her with anger and disappointment, he was wondering why Anita pretends so much and why she keeps living such a disgusting life. “Don’t act like you care about me, I know very well that you don’t, stop pretending Anita.” James said to Anita angrily. She was wondering why James was sounding reasonable, she looked at his face very well and placed her hand on her head, “He hasn’t been taking his pills.” She muttered to herself frustratedly. “Why did you stop taking your pills?” Anita asked James. James could not believe that Anita was really asking such questions when she knew that those pills were not good for him. “What pills are you talking about? Same pills you used to ruin my mental health?” James asked her angrily. Anita swallowed her saliva nervously, when she heard

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.

    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

  • A Second Chance Family for the CEO    Chapter 105

    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.
