James still couldn't believe he was looking at Anita, the same innocent Anita he thought he was married to, she has now turned into someone else, someone he now barely knows.

James stood up and walked out of the sitting room. Anita crossed her legs comfortably and picked her phone to send a text message to her daughter telling her that James has returned to the house so she doesn't need to keep looking for him. Anita heaved a sigh and placed her hand on her chest feeling relieved when she realized it has been settled and what's left is for Victoria to do the most important part.

She stood up to go pour herself a glass of water because she was outside worrying for nothing.

After getting the water she went back to where she was sitting and rested her head on the chair, Anita was happy because she is finally at the peak of getting what she wants, she has finally gotten the biggest of them all and her daughter can finally stop chasing after rich men because they got the big

    “Drew darling, breakfast is ready!” Isabella Thompson stepped back from the table and scanned the different dishes she had managed to prepare that morning. It was their third anniversary and she had hoped to make it special. “Drew?” She called again when she didn't get a response and she heard a door close. “Hurry or it'll get cold.” “That's all you know how to do,” she heard from behind her as she picked the serving spoon to start dishing. Isabella turned on her heels with a frown and stared quizzically at her mother in law. “Marissa, what's going on?” The older woman looked completely livid and her usually calm eyes were like a storm. “Mum, what is wrong? You look…” Marissa Harrison scoffed and pointed a finger in Bella's confused face. “You're such a snake. How long has this been going on?” Isabella was dumbfounded. What was Marisa talking about? “Mum, I don't…” Marissa cut her off before she could finish. “Don't you dare play dumb! How long have you been cheat

    Divorce papers? Bella was stunned. Andrew wanted to divorce her? Wasn't he going to find out if the photos were there? Wasn't he going to….? “Hello? Bella?” Bella snapped out of her thoughts and grunted. “I'm at the hospital. Can you come here?” “At the hospital? What are you doing at the hospital?” Bella didn't respond. She had no intention of telling him anything that could get back to Andrew. “Text me the address of the hospital and I'll be there.” Bella hung up and texted him the address before lying down on the bed and closing her eyes. No matter how much she tried, she couldn't sleep. Her thoughts kept roaming wild and free and she couldn't stop them. Soon, she felt tears rolling down her cheeks but she didn't make a move to stop them and just let it fall. She sobbed quietly, the pain of Andrew's hasty decision to divorce her weighing heavily on her mind. How could he just toss her away like that? How come when a man cheated it was just support to be forgive

    FIVE YEARS LATER “Mummy, can I have that giant pink candy? It looks so delicious,” “All done sweetie,” Isabella cooed and kissed her son, Pete on his forehead before turning to look at his sister, her daughter, Patience. “Let's get our bags first baby and then we can get it if you want.” Her phone rang as she rose up and she slipped it out of her back pocket. She let out a long sigh when she saw who it was but answered anyway. “Why can't you ever be responsible?” was the first thing she heard when she placed the phone against her ear and afterwards it was an onslaught of different insults. She bore all of them without saying a single word as she was already used to it. “Get here in the next five minutes or forget being my daughter.” She clicked her tongue as the dial tone rang in her ear and looked down at her daughter who was already staring up at her, her cute face itched with worry. “How about we go get that pink candy now dear?” The little girl's eyes grew wi

    “Two timer you say?” Andrew sneered, as he looked down on Bella. Bella stood up and sighed. “How do you explain this? You are suddenly married to my stepsister. How long have you been seeing her?” He scoffed. “You don't get to ask me questions.” he rolled his eyes. “Even if I was cheating, you slept with all those men so how could you point fingers at me?” Bella choked back a sob. He hadn't denied her accusations. “You'll regret this.” “And just what do you think you can do to me?” he crossed his hands across his chest. Bella ignored him and turned to walk away but he grabbed her arm tightly. “How dare you walk away when I haven't asked you to leave?” Bella struggled to free herself from his grasp but it was useless since he was more powerful. “Let me go,” “Stop struggling, it's pointless.” he chuckled, shaking his head. “Let me go!” Suddenly, Andrew let go off her hand and Bella fell backwards. However she didn't hit the ground as two powerful muscular arm

    Isabelle’s povAfter getting out of the car I walked down to the apartment I was living in with my kids. I can’t believe he actually betrayed me like that. Andrew has been the only one in my life and I have never thought of doing anything that would jeopardize our relationship but this is how he paid me back, framing me like this just to have my sister. The whole thing was getting clearer to me that it was their plan from the beginning. They probably were madly in love and the only way they can be together is if they kick me out. Realizing this, I decided to start my life all over and start working so I can earn enough to give my kids a better life. Only then can I get the revenge I want. While going through several companies, they kept rejecting me, and some even insulted me for being unable to keep my family so I’m not stable. I tiredly turned off my system and laid on the bed. Just then my kids rushed into the room. “Mummy,” Pete called and laid beside me. And Patience laid at

    Isabella’s povAfter the whole ruckus I was still in shock, I couldn’t believe what just happened, why did I need to go through such harsh treatment just because I was given such a position without an interview. It was time for lunch and everyone had already gone to the office restaurant to get what to eat but I couldn’t go because I felt like I wouldn't be welcomed there. They won’t treat me well there. “Are you not going for lunch?” Anna asked. I paused what I was doing when she asked because I was really hungry but too scared to go there. “I still have a lot of work to do, I won’t be able to go today, I have a lot of work to do.” I said to her trying to tell her that I won’t be joining them. When I noticed she wasn’t going to give up I had to bring out the whole files that I was yet to take care of. “I’ll be on my way.” She said to me and excused herself, I just don’t know why I can never have peace, it’s either there’s one forcing herself to be close to me or the others that a

    Isabella povAfter a very strenuous first day I got home tired. “Mummy.” Pete hugged me while I was sitting calmly on the couch. Just then Patience joined us, but they didn’t look happy. I could tell when my kids were happy and when they were sad. Seeing the look on her face I could tell she wasn’t happy. “Patience, come here,” I said to her with a loving tone. Patience didn’t come to me instead she hissed and walked away. I was confused, Patience has never done such a thing to me. “Did anyone annoy her in school?” I asked Pete worriedly. Patience has never acted that way towards me. She is usually the loving little girl in the house so why is she acting this way now?“I’m not sure.” Pete replied. I suddenly remembered I couldn’t pick them from school myself. That's why she is angry at me. I heaved a sigh and stood up to go meet her. “Don’t go, you’re only going to make her even more upset.” Pete said to me. I stood looking at him after he stopped me from going to see his sister i

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 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.
