He took a big strides towards her and she walked back till her back touched the door, he pinned her to the door.
"I've finally done what you wanted me to do, leave me alone." She said with tears and he smirked at her."Really?! Do you even mean that? I bet you've always wanted this, me close to you like this." He said into her ear, his voice low and husky.Bella felt her breath catch in her throat, her heart pounding in her chest. The air was so thick with tension, every moment dragging on. She could barely bring herself to look at him, afraid of what she might see in his eyes."No. Maybe before, but I'm not interested anymore." She managed to say."Really? That's good." His voice grew softer, his words drawn out and languid. "I bet you will be dying for me to touch you." He said as he placed his hands on the wall behind her, trapping her there so she won't escape.Bella's breath came in short, sharp gasps, her body trembling with nervous energy. She tried to keep her eyes focused on the ground, but found herself drawn to his gaze, her lips parting as she struggled to speak. The air was thick with anticipation, the tension almost palpable. He leaned closer, his words are whisper on the wind"Do you want me to stop?" He asked lowly and seductively.She couldn't find a word to respond him.If this was her past life, she would have said no and steal the opportunity to kiss him. But she has determined to divorce her. Divorce she wants, divorce she will get, but--her eyes flickered up to meet his, her expression one of uncertainty. She felt unsure of what she wanted. She knew that she should tell him to stop, but her body refused to listen to her heart beating faster."Hmmmm?" He was waiting for her response and she knew.It was like a dream to her. She wanted to give in to this temptation but couldn't help but remember what happened in her past life."No.." She stuttered, biting her lips. "I mean yes. Please stop." He smirked at her words as he touched her neck, and leaned in as if he wanted to kiss her."Are you sure you really want me to stop?" He asked seductively and she couldn't help but cursed him in her head."Yes. I don't want to do anything with you." She shakily said and his eyes turned red."Why?" He asked with his eyes red, clenching his fist in the wall."I'll really appreciate you if you don't cheat on Mandy. She's too nice for all these. And she will be very sad to see you cheat on her with me." She gave her reasons and he sneered."When did you start caring about Mandy. You have always been so selfish. This morning, you hugged me and even begged me to forgive you. Stop your pretence, like you cared about Mandy feelings." He said and walked two steps away from her and she finally breath well."I really mean it. I want us to divorce." She said."Okay. We will divorce, when I'm done with what I'm doing for three months and you prove to me that you can live without disturbing my life." He said and he angrily walked out."That stupid boy." She cursed. She didn't even know what she loved about him. He was just too arrogant and haughty, and yet she liked him very much, even till now.She peeked through the window and she watched him drove away speedily.Shouldn't she be the one angry? She didn't even know what she did and he dare to get angry at her. Is he crazy? Is he mad?But truly she couldn't say all these in his presence.She rest on the sofa and sighed tiredly.She only wasted her time and strength to go to his office maybe he could agree to divorce, but he really disappointed her today and didn't only decide not to go, but he also tore the divorce papers into two.No matter how hard she thought about his actions today,she couldn't get to the root.She was sure of something, and that is, he can never like her.She was about to sleep when her phone rang. She saw it was her mother and she hissed a little. Her mother disturbing her again?She remembered how her parents were to her in her past life and she never wanted to experience it again.Her parent sold her off to marriage, early when their business was about to run down.She picked up the call and the first thing she heard was her mother's nagging voice."Hello Bella so you can't call us.""Sorry mom. I've been busy.""Busy? You are really busy right? Busy and trying to kill yourself. I am highly disappointed in you and you couldn't even keep a man. Have you tried all your possible best for him not to look away from you? You don't even inherit a single thing from me. What a daughter you are... It will be a year soon and you are not even pregnant. Are you really a blessed child.""I want to divorce." She said and hung up before her mother could give her reply. It was too much for her to take in and she knew her mother would scream her lung out.She put her phone in silence and didn't see how repeatedly her mother called her, as she slept off on the chair.Michael drove into the company and walked straight to his office.He was so angry and felt like punching the wall. He sat down, trying to calm down and his assistant quickly entered."Sir, there is a meeting in the UK tomorrow morning, should we cancel it?""No! We are going." He sharply replied.Assistant Parker wondered why he was so angry.'Why is boss always angry when he meet with madam', he thought."I will book the flight to UK now." Assistant Parker said and he quickly got out of the office as the temperature is too low and he felt like freezing.Michael unknotted his tie and started working on some files.His phone beeped and he swiped it up. It riled him up to see the message.'I heard some weird news today about your mad wife, tell me is not true' Gabriel.It was his friendship group on W******p. They have been discussing about him but he totally ignored.'Lets meet at Hannah club.' Steph.When he saw the last message, he just exit the group himself.He was still angry but trying to keep everything cool when his secretary entered.She walked toward him and held his face which he stylishly released his head from his hold."What is wrong with you? Did the witch try to do something to you? When are you going to divorce her? I really miss you." Mandy said to him with innocent look.He looked at her with smile and he could swear he calmed down a little. He held her tiny hands into his and gently said to her."Very soon."Mandy smiled bitterly.Michael was her boyfriend when that witch did everything to make him marry her. Because of that, Michael cut off things with her as he never wanted to cheat on his wife.But one thing Mandy was very sure of was that, Michael loved her much more than his wife.With that she smiled. Who cared about legal wife, when the husband love side chick more than wife. She is going to do everything in her that will make Michael come back to where he belong, her side."You shall die a horrible death. You shall live a terrible life and you shall never know peace I'm your life, you this witch." A woman in a bloody white robe, shedding tears, with blood coming from her mouth, and blood dripping to the floor from her nail she pointed at her, cursing at her.Bella only laughed maniacally and hissed."Do you think you can threaten me with this? I will kill you all over and over again." She said and laughed while the woman cried tears the more and ran forward to attack her--she sprung and leaped from her sleep, with erratic and unsteady breathing, and by that actions, she plop down from the sofa she slept on. She was so scared by the dream. She looked around her and saw that it was night already.She sat up and rubbed her arm she hit on the floor and winced in slight pain. She clapped her hand and the room lit up immediately. She breathed in relief when she saw that it was a dream and she stood up, hurried to the kitchen to get a glass of water.She didn
Bella finished her meal, not at all concerned about the way she ate. She wiped her mouth with a napkin and let out a contented sigh. Suddenly, she realized that she had eaten rather sloppily and was embarrassed by her lack of manners. She smiled shyly at the man sitting next to her, who simply looked at her with a gentle and understanding expression. He knew that Bella was not trying to be rude, and found her unruly eating habits to be endearing rather than offensive. The two of them laughed together, the moment turning from awkward to lighthearted.When she realized that she just laughed with him, she coughed slightly, while the man also, cleared his throat."So, Bella." He said and she raised head up at him, rubbing her finger together. His eyes went to her finger, and was surprised to not see her ring on her finger. He pretended like he didn't notice anything and cleared his throat once again. "I just want to see you after so long." He said. "And I'm sorry for letting you down." H
Not knowing what is happening in London, she sat on her bed and took out her phone.She remembered slightly when Ethan asked her about her work and she was speechless.In her past life, she had no work, only to dine with the rich people, flaunt her husband's wealth, and live a luxurious life. She saved not anything and even got no plans for her life.She was a graduate of cosmetology and cosmetics chemistry in Beijing university, china and never used that to look for job or maybe work on her own. She was so useless in her past life and she was so grateful she was reborn, if not, her life would be a mess, or maybe dead and rot in hell.She thought of what she can do and make money and remembered she had always want to be her own boss before she got married.She determined to make her own brand and she determined she is going to make her own make up brand and be successful. She was so tired and her weary eyes fluttered closed, and she surrendered to sleep's embrace. Her body relaxed, a
Michael's face was a study in fury and rage throughout the plane. Assistant Parker was at a loss to explain the sudden change in his boss. This is not the first time seeing him that way, his boss is a psycho and an irascible person, but him getting angry is always with his wife at most times.So what could have gone wrong?Something must have happened, but what? Assistant Parker racked his brain, trying to figure it out.Then it dawned on him - the picture. Michael had seen something in that picture that had set him off. Assistant Parker couldn't imagine what it could be, but he was determined to find out what is wrong with that picture. But wait, is his anger directed to their new opponent, or the beautiful girl beside him?Is his boss in love with the girl in picture? Maybe he met her in a club or whatsoever - that couldn't be. It might be the former, her boss hate promiscuity.The driver came and they boarded the car dropping his thoughts at the airport."Penthouse or Company?" T
She thought he was going to kiss her as she placed his lips closer to her, and yes he was going to. She widened her eyes, and placed her palm on his protruded mouth."So you like him kissing you, right? You are used to him kissing you, and dare to reject your husband." He said seethingly and shook his head. He grabbed his coat, keys, and walked out of the living room. She heard the door slammed as he left and she heard the car zoomed off out of the compound. She slumped on the chair, tired, weak and exhausted. She wondered what she saw in him and decided to agree to her marriage with him. She smiled bitterly and she wanted to cry.She slept off on the chair, and could sleep as she woke up in the middle of the night, due to bad dreams. She decided to began searching for anyone putting their office for sale.Around 6:46, she realized she slept off and woke up. She stood up and went to the kitchen to grab a bottle of drink from the freezer. She gulped a cup of the drink and belched. H
Helen was never her friend, when they were still young. Helen always wanted Michael's attention, while he never gave her that. Helen is the only daughter of her rich parent, just like her, just that her grandmother and Naomi were friends. That was why she was allowed to play in the Sean's Family Mansion when she was small."Hello grandpa." She greeted the Old man Sean who smiled at her. She knew the man never liked her, he thought she was not capable for his grandson."Hello Helen." She finally greeted Helen and sat on the chair.She was shocked that Naomi could Invite even family and friends over a mere Miso soup. She never expected this huge of relatives coming. She saw the younger brother of Michael's dad, with his wife, who was glaring at her like a witch. She wasn't surprised, both husband and wife never liked their nephew, which is Michael and she couldn't forget how they used her to go against the Sean family."Hello, Uncle Desmond. Auntie Lucy." She greeted them and the man pl
Bella hurried to the living room and opened the door as the doorbell rang. She was relieved to see Ethan standing there, and she couldn't help but smile.Ethan took in the luxurious surroundings of the living room and was impressed by the simple yet elegant décor."Wow, your husband has good taste," he commented."Yes, he does," Bella replied, but her smile seemed a bit sad. She was eager to change the subject. "Did you get the medicine?"Ethan who noticed not anything, nodded and handed her the bag."Thank you." She said, smiling genuinely as she collected the bag. "You're very welcome," Ethan replied, noticing the gratitude in her voice."You can sit down," Bella offered, gesturing to the sofa. Ethan took a seat and felt the tension in the air. It was strange how different things were between them now. Back in China, they were so close. Now, it felt like they were worlds apart.Well, she is happily married, he thought.Bella seemed lost in thought, her gaze fixed on the floor. Etha
Michael worked late into the night, his anger fueling his productivity. He didn't even notice how exhausted he was, and his assistant Parker looked absolutely dead on his feet."Get me Guevara's file, Parker," Michael barked, his voice harsh with frustration. Parker stifled a yawn as he handed the file over, his eyes heavy with fatigue."Give Mr. Gilbert a call," Michael said firmly. "Tell him that the company needs him to be ready for an upcoming attack. And make sure he knows that he has to follow our instructions." Assistant Parker nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation. "Do you need me to add anything else?"Michael asked.Assistant Parker nodded, but then his eyes widened as he realized what he had just agreed to. He looked up at the clock and saw that it was 2 a.m. "Uh, boss," he stammered. "It's 2 o'clock in the morning, sir," he said. "Mr. Gilbert is probably asleep. Should I really wake him up?""Yes, Parker, and make it snappy," Michael snapped. "Or do you want
Michael folded his arms and leaned against the wall. His expression was unreadable, but there was a storm brewing in his eyes.Bella stared at him, her face flushed. She couldn't help but feel ashamed and embarrassed by her own behavior. "I... I heard that car. Who's driving it now?" she asked, trying to break the tension."I knew you wouldn't come out of your room unless I left, so I called my assistant, Parker, to come and take my car away," Michael said, his voice cold. "At least, you would think I've gone."Bella felt a stab of embarrassment in her heart.Bella tried to play it cool, but her face was flushed with embarrassment. She pretended not to care as she said, "Oh, who cares?" and took a bite of her bread.Michael let out a scoff and walked over to her, snatching the bread from her hand and tossing it away. "Expired," he said, his voice flat.Bella stared at him, wide-eyed. She opened her mouth to protest, but nothing came out. The humiliation was too much."Where are the ma
"Yes Mandy, your girlfriend." she said."What has Mandy got to do with our issues, Bella?" He said, his eyes reddened."Oh! Me? I didn't say it has any issue. The problem is you and you alone." She spat."Don't tell me you are jealous?" He smirked, walking towards her in heavy steps and she also took the same steps back."I am not jealous. Why would I be jealous of that girl, Michael. She is your lover after all-" she hasn't finished when he sighed in frustration."Don't say the word 'lover', because I don't have anything as such." He spat, untying his tie in anger. "I heard you went home, why didn't you tell me that grandma told us to come?" He asked."I don't expect you to know, because you were with your lover.""Bella." He yelled in frustration. Why are you making a bug deal out of this? Remember we are divorcing in the next three months. Don't catch feelings okay." He spat.Bella was hurt by his statement but she pretended it didn't hurt, and smiled sadly to him."Wow! Who said I
As Bella scrolled through her computer screen, looking for a place to open a shop, she felt a surge of excitement. She had been dreaming of opening her own business for years, and now it was finally becoming a reality. Just as she was about to click on a promising-looking listing, her phone rang.The caller ID showed a number she didn't recognize, but she answered anyway. "Hello?" she said, her voice shaking slightly."Hello, Bella," a pleasant female voice said. "I heard you're looking for a place to open a shop. Is that right?"Bella was taken aback. How did this person know what she was doing? She hadn't told anyone about her plans. "I...yes, that's right," she said, her voice still quivering. "But...how did you know that?""Weren't you the one that paste it that you need a shop." the lady asked, her tone confused. "Oh, yes. It's me. Becca?" She asked."Of course, I am. I hope you don't mind me asking, but are you interested in a space that is already set up for a shop, or would y
Michael stormed into his office, fuming from the phone call he had just had with his grandmother.Mandy, and Parker, both looked at him in confusion, wondering what had happened."Why are you guys still here?" he snapped. "Don't you have your own offices?"Parker nodded his head, looking cowed by Michael's anger, while Mandy felt hurt by his harsh words. She turned and walked out of the office, fuming.Michael turned and saw that Parker was still there. He yelled, "What about you? You don't have your own office, do you? Get your filthy body out of my office!"Parker quickly left, muttering profanities under his breath. The other workers outside couldn't help but laugh, but they also wondered what was wrong with Michael. This kind of outburst was nothing new to them - their boss had a bad temper and was often angry.Parker went to the restroom to clean himself up, then returned to Michael's office with a big smile."I was waiting for you," Michael said, grabbing his coat. "You can fini
