Bella's POV“And then the same guy was there when I met with the police,” I tell Norah.I have asked her to meet with me finally for the first time since hours before the incident.“He was just there when I walked in. With his lawyer,” I add. She swallows down her milkshake before gasping dramatically.“This … Oliver? Tell me what he’s really like, Bella,” she pleads with a pout.I shake my head. And no matter how hard I try to keep a straight face while I talk about him, an involuntary smile creeps onto my face and I sigh.“He’s gentle. And handsome. And he even though he knows about Mark, he sees me for me.”I pause, hoping silently that she understands how much that last part truly means to me. I didn’t think I would ever be able to bear the company of another man while I was still with Mark. I still wonder if all future relationships have been ruined too.“And?” She says expectantly. She knows I want to say more. But I’m not sure if I want to let the thoughts I have about Oliver b

Bella’s POV“What’s going on?” I ask, stopping in the living room as a maid moves a large cake into the kitchen.“Dinner party tonight,” she says rushing past me. I follow her into the kitchen, surprised that my parents are hosting a party that I don’t even know about. I find my mother in there, ordering people around.“What’s going on?” I ask again.“Oh. You’re home,” she says, failing to hide the displeasure in her tone. “Did you need someone to put those away for you?” she offers, gesturing towards the shopping bags in my hands. There are at least eight and they are quite heavy, but all I say is, “I can manage.”I turn around and leave, going upstairs to my bedroom to put away the new items. Things have certainly changed since I left.In a few hours, there is a knock on my door. I ignore it, continuing to get rid of all the old outfits in my closet.Father walks in anyway, looking from the pile of heavy dresses and jeans on the floor to me.“You should go out tonight. Take any of

Oliver’s POVThe car drives off leaving me standing on the front door steps and wondering what the hell is going on.Until now, she seemed like a poor girl with nothing left in the world. But everything changed the moment two bodyguards showed up with an order from her father to bring her ‘home’.Whatever. I shake my head. After returning to bed, it doesn’t take long for me to give up the chase for m remaining two hours of sleep. I get ready and start heading back home instead.***My parents and wife-to-be are having breakfast in the dramatically colourful garden when I arrive. It’s my least favourite place to dine, but my family seems to love it. I join them at the table only because I’m hungry, but soon realise it’s not worth it as I get sucked into their conversation.“I was just telling them about a few plans I’ve made for our wedding,” Amanda says. “It’s not until next year,” I say pouring myself a cup of coffee.“Yes. In the summer. We should do it outdoors with a floral the

Bella’s POV I wake up in a dark room, the warm glow of the sun peeking in from behind the thick curtains. I sit up as memories from the night before attack me and push the sheets away to inspect my body. There’s a bandage around my leg, covering a wound on my right shin, and a few bandaids here and there. There’s also a wet towel on the night stand beside me, resting in an empty bowl.The door opens and a man walks in. I panic and pull the sheets over myself to cover my exposed legs since I am now only wearing underwear and an oversized T-shirt.“You’re awake,” he states. He walks over to the other side of the room, pulling the curtains back to illuminate the room.“How do you feel?” He asks. I stare at him suspiciously. Mostly because he’s a stranger but also because he looks familiar. “Not good,” I reply honestly. He nods. “I was going to take you to the hospital but I didn’t want to draw any attention to myself,” he says. I frown, not knowing what he means. And soon I recognise h
