Isabella pov

I 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

    Andrew’s pov “Why are you not saying anything?” I asked him curiously because he was not saying anything after dropping such a bomb. I was waiting patiently to hear what he had to say but I was becoming impatient when he wasn’t saying anything. “Sir, based on the evidence I have gathered, I think your wife was innocent Seven years ago, it was all your mom and Victoria’s plan.” I felt like I was suffocating the moment I heard the hired agent say this to me. It was completely impossible to me, it’s something that I can never accept to be true, because it can’t even be possible. “What are you talking about?” I asked again to confirm if I heard him correctly. “Sir, the young man that was hired back then is currently threatening your mom because he was arrested a few days after for a crime he didn’t commit and he believes your mom is responsible, as a way of keeping his mouth shut forever.” “What do you take me for, I hired you to find the truth about what my mom is possibly hiding s

    Writer's povMarissa was shocked to hear what Andrew said. She didn't want to make it obvious that she understood what he was trying to say so she gave a look like she was confused. “What are you talking about?” Marissa asked, still pretending not to understand what Andrew was talking about. “You are making me lose my mind.” Andrew said to Marisa with tears welling down his eyes, he was totally disappointed in his mother because he never expected that she would go to such lengths because he really trusted her. “Andrew.” “Why? What did she do to you that was so unforgivable that she accused her of being an infidel when she is not. Mom, I trusted you. I was so sure when I saw those videos that Bella really cheated on me but in the end I was wrong because it was all my mother's plan. You know how much I hate it when I am being betrayed and you still had to do such a thing just to tear us apart.” Andrew sat on the bed tiredly as he was in tears. I still couldn't believe that for so l

It might be time for us to find a place of our own so that he can have his house to himself again.While the driver drove us to school, I had a lot on my mind.

    Isabella pov When I got back to the house I staggered inside because I was too weak to walk after finding out what happened seven years ago. I still can't believe that Marissa was the one responsible for what happened that day. If I could recall very well that day we were all at home and I just finished cooking for Andrew before the whole thing started. I was so happy that day because I was slowly getting the symptoms of pregnancy and I wanted to talk to Andrew about it so that we could go do a test but my happiness that day turned into a nightmare that I am yet to recover from even after 7 years. I covered my mouth with my hand and closed the door when I recollected that day very well and how she kept saying and insisting that I was an infidel and I don't deserve the love that Andrew Has been showing me. I have been hoping for the day that the truth will come out but suddenly I wish it never came out and we all just kept living the way we were living. Knowing that Marissa

    Writer's povI was totally dumbfounded when I heard the question that my little daughter asked me, I couldn't believe that they would imagine such a thing but I wouldn't blame them at the same time because I didn't explain the whole situation clearly to them so it's normal for them to misunderstand what I was trying to say.“I did not have an affair with my sister's husband. Your dad and I were married before he left me for my sister. That is how he ended up getting married to my sister and divorced me, so I didn't get the opportunity to tell him about your pregnancy. I was thrown out of the house so I had to go stay with Grandma. When she died I had to return which is why we ended up here.” The kids looked shocked to hear what I said to them. It seemed totally unbelievable that my own sister got married to my ex-husband.“Aunt Victoria is your sister?”“Step sister.” They both sat on the chair and turned to look at each other. I couldn't understand why both of them were so intere

I thought he was asleep which is why I didn't bother chasing him away immediately but now that he finally knows that my dad is with me I do not know how to react anymore. “What the hell are you doing here?” I asked him angrily and frustratedly because my biggest secret has finally been exposed and now Andrew would want to get a testimony from my dad which is something that I do not want to happen because of his health status. “I can't believe you will do such a thing Bella, your dad was in your house all along and you didn't bother to tell me when you know that he is the key witness to what happened at my house.” “Andrew, what happened at your house is between you Victoria and Anita. My dad has nothing to do with it, as you can see he doesn't look okay because he's just recovering and I will not have you come here and ask him questions or invite the police here.” Andrew smirked when he heard what

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.

    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
