Writer’s POV The 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. Tristan 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 and what might have gone wrong. “
Writer's pov We were all looking at Andrew waiting to hear what he had to say, the whole thing was a mess at this point and it's not like you can find Victoria and Anita again because they already called buyers for the company and they traveled out of the country immediately. “How did all these things happen when she was with you and you never noticed anything?” Tristan asked curiously, it was very confusing and surprising at the same time that Victoria and Anita were able to plot so much and they both succeeded without anyone in the house finding out the truth. “I am as confused as you are.” Andrew said and sat on the couch tiredly. Bella's eyes could not meet his, and he was also avoiding meeting her eyes as he felt embarrassed and ashamed because he left her for a person like Victoria. “I can't believe we have been harboring a thief in this house and we didn't notice early.” “Are you sure you're not on this with them?” Marissa asked Bella. Bella was shocked to hear Marissa
Isabella’s pov I was shocked when I heard the question that Marissa asked me. The kids looked at me with guilt, I knew they were not going to keep lying as they don’t even know how to lie in the first place. I didn’t know what to say to her when she asked, I just wanted to leave with the kids already. “What are you talking about? Why would they call their dad uncle? Did you call your dad uncle?” I asked both of them as I was expecting them to deny it. “Mom, dad.” Please take us away from here, this house is scary.” The kids ran towards us and pleaded that we take them away from the house. I was relieved because they didn’t have to start replying to her irrelevant questions. I don’t know why it’s so hard for her to accept that Tristan is really their dad, she really thinks he would never have anything to do with someone like me, and I wonder why she thinks so. “Sister, I would make sure to call.” Tristan said to Marissa as he was leaving. When we all got into the car, both of th
Isabella povI have been trying my best to keep this Jacob thing a secret between both of us but he has refused to listen which is why I had to tell Anna about it, but looks like I might have to tell Tristan about it as well if he is going to continue being like this. I heaved a sigh.*****Few hours later. It was time for dinner and the kids ran downstairs for dinner while I was patiently waiting for Tristan to join us. He rushed out earlier to run an errand and since then he hasn't returned. I was becoming a little worried. “Mom is Uncle Tristan not joining us?” The kids asked. I let out a soft smile when I heard the question they asked. I didn't know the reply to give them because I don't even know where he is. I have tried calling several times but he isn't picking my calls.“Uncle Tristan isn't back yet so we might have to eat without him.” I said to the kids they didn't look happy because we always eat together but it's not like we had any other choice. While we were eating I c
Writer’s pov Bella was shocked to hear what Tristan said to her, she couldn’t look him in the face because she was too shy, and she was wondering why Tristan had become so brave, he’s no longer shy while talking to her. While they were both together her phone buzzed again and it immediately attracted his attention, he was wondering who it could be and why the person has been sending messages to her. “Is there a problem?” Tristan asked Bella, for a moment Bella thought about telling him the truth, she wanted to tell him about how Jacob has been on her neck to accept him, and how he has been sending her nude pictures, but at the same time she thought that would be too much information, and she didn’t want Jacob to lose his job. “No, everything’s just spam messages.” Bella replied almost immediately and let out a faint smile so that it would not be obvious that she was worried about something. Tristan didn’t completely believe she was fine, because of her facial expression but i
Writer’s pov“Mom, is there anything you’re not telling me?” Andrew asked when he noticed his nervous she was, she was biting her nails which is something she only does when she’s nervous.Marissa was shocked when she heard the question he asked her.“What do you mean? Have I ever hidden anything from you?” She asked, she was panting and the look on her face was suspicious , it looked like he could already tell that she was hiding something from him.“I hope not.” Andrew said and walked away.Marissa was finally able to breathe when he left. “Why is he suspecting me all of a sudden?” She asked herself as her chest was beating faster than normal, the thought of him finding out the truth that she has been hiding from him all these years crossed her mind. She knew that he would never forgive her the moment he finds out the truth.“If she had not done what she did, things would have continued going smoothly.” Marissa muttered nervously as she held onto her cloth tight and squeezed it into
Writer’s povFor the past few days now Andrew has been unable to understand his mom because she has been acting strangely, so he decided to keep tabs on her so that he can find out what she’s hiding from him that has been making her restless. At first he wanted to wait until she’s ready to speak to him but with the way things are going. He can’t wait until she’s ready. Andrew thought that probably it’s Victoria that’s threatening his mother with something she knew about her. “Let’s go inside.” Andrew said to his mother and they both went into the house. Marissa was wondering why he wasn’t asking any questions. On a normal day he would have asked a series of questions but this time he stopped at the first question. Marissa thought it was strange and totally unlike him to do such a thing. “Don’t you think it’s time you visit the hospital for your monthly check up?” Andrew asked Marissa. She raised her head to look at him when she heard what he asked. “Why do I always forget it, tha
Andrew povAfter following mom for a week I have been unable to find out anything. But I know that there’s something she’s not telling me, she gets nervous whenever we’re together and she doesn’t pick up calls in my presence. The whole thing was driving me crazy. I have to find out where Victoria is and how she was able to do what she did. I still can't believe she is keeping something from me because it is totally unlike her. “I have to find out what’s going on.” Andrew, are you okay?” Mom asked me and I paused eating immediately and raised my head to look at her. “I’m fine.” I replied to her almost immediately while staring at her face. I was still confused as to how she is so bent on hiding the truth from me. She isn’t telling me anything and it’s making me mad at her. It’s so clear that there’s something she’s hiding. “Mom.” I called her and she turned to look at me immediately. “What is it Andrew?” She asked, the way she asked the question made me feel like she knew what I
Isabella's povEverything seemed to be going well in my life all of a sudden, it felt like my life has started from the scratch and there's nothing like a horrible past. 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. He
