BELLATRIX LOVE HURTS
CHAPTER 28BELLA I was still recovering from the shock of what Gabriel’s mother had told me when Jacob leaned over and whispered into my ear, “You’re going to love it, Bell”. Ohhhhh really now? , so I get stabbed, have surgery, remain unconscious for a couple days and when I come out of it, everything is different and it's like all of a sudden I'm in some Fairy-tale wonder land where everything is all peachy! Oh, and the best part is that the people around me are treating me like I'm an invalid and are now making decisions for me and going about their merry way making plans, which involves me, by the way, yet no one bothers to ask if I’m okay with it or what my opinion is!? Don’t get me wrong, I truly am grateful for everything everyone has been doing for Jacob and I, but it’s just becoming a bit too much! I am not used to this much attention. Having people in my face all the time and being so nice,well, truthfully, it's suffocating! Everyone just assumed that they could tell me what

CHAPTER 29GABRIEL *WARNING - THIS CHAPTER HAS SOME VIOLENT CONTENT AND IS NOT SUITABLE FOR SENSITIVE AND UNDER THE AGE OF 18 YEARS READERS. READERS DISCRETION IS ADVISED. My Bella was still in hospital when my men had captured Mason and took him to the location I asked them to. That son of b***h maintained an arrogant attitude even though he was hanging from a beam by heavy chains! By the time I got there, my men had already had lots of fun with him. The place reeked of fresh blood. When I walked in, he started swearing at me and shouted out loud all that he was going to do to me once he was out of there! I just smirked, then gave him one of my dangerous looking glares and asked him who ever had given him that idea? He was going nowhere! Well, he was not going anywhere, still breathing, that is! He kept ranting on about how I was going to regret doing all this for his whore, and she was nothing but a pathetic, useless prostitute! Even though hearing all those things he said about m

CHAPTER 30 BELLA I truly owe everyone a HUGE apology. I have no idea what’s gotten into me lately and why I have been behaving the way that I have. I kept blaming my mood swings on the medication I have been on, but I think it may be more than that. I’m considering professional help, and perhaps on my next visit to the doctor, I could speak to him about it and ask for a referral. I am physically doing so much better, but mentally and emotionally, I am a mess! It’s affected my relationship with Jacob, too. He’s been keeping his distance from me, and I don’t blame him. Gabriel contacted his school in Honeyville and managed to get him a longer leave of absence on condition that he gets a tutor and stay on track with his curriculum. That was an easy task for the Knight family, and they are making sure he is fully committed to his school work. They treat him as their own, and he is thriving with all the love and attention he’s receiving. He deserves it, yes, I have my moments of jealousy

CHAPTER 31GABRIEL I have been spending so much time at the office and returning home late out of guilt. Tara had committed suicide after she was told that Mason’s body had surfaced and that they suspected that from the way he was tortured, it was mafia related. I just didn’t know how to share that bit of information with my Bella and Jacob and still look them in the eye without telling them the whole truth. Would they hate me for it? I sensed my Bella was not doing well, and she looked very withdrawn and depressed lately. I was considering trying to convince her to go see our family therapist, but I was waiting for the right moment to speak to her about it. It was waaày after midnight, and I sneaked into our room, which has become like a routine over the past couple of weeks. I went straight into the bathroom, and only when I got out did I notice she wasn’t there. She’s probably crashing with Jacob or Arianna. How was I to fall asleep without her lying next to me? I asked out loud t

CHAPTER 32GABRIEL These past few weeks have been the worst of my life! We have searched just about everywhere and can not seem to find my Bella. My men tracked down the cab driver whom she had used to the bank and pharmacy, but the information received from him didn't help much in our search. Her phone was tracked down and found on a train, but she was nowhere in sight. She knew me better than I thought, and she was covering her tracks well. Clearly, she doesn’t want to be found, I guess putting myself in her shoes, I would also have been pissed off and wanted nothing to do with me. But I have to find her and clear up this misunderstanding! I am going crazy without her. She’s my everything! She’s my soul mate! It’s even worse at home. Everyone is so angry with me, too. I didn’t want anyone thinking badly of my Bella and told them the truth. I told them what I am sure she had seen and heard and thought that I had betrayed her and decided to run away. I explained to Jacob why she coul

CHAPTER 33BELLA Finding out that I was pregnant was definitely a big surprise. It shouldn’t have been though, what did I expect to happen? I was not on any method of contraceptives, and Gabriel never bothered about condoms. I foolishly believed he was my happily ever after! I wondered how long he was cheating on me with that woman? She was probably the reason for all his late nights! He probably pitied me, and that’s why he didn’t call it quits, or maybe he forced himself to remain in the relationship because of Jacob and Arianna. Oh, Heavens, these thoughts were going to drive me crazy! I needed to try my best and forget about what had happened and move forward now for the sake of my baby. I had gone to a medical centre which was not that far out from the Bakery and after running a few tests and confirming my pregnancy, one of the nurses there, had helped me to set up dates for my regular check ups. I was going to do everything I could to make sure that my baby was going to be okay

CHAPTER 34BELLA Athena was probably the most well-behaved baby ever! So far, and thankfully, I haven’t had too many of those difficult nights and endless crying tantrums I read up about. She just seemed so happy with everything. Erica and Neo couldn’t get enough of her and were always buying her stuff, which helped my budget a lot. I got her ready for her doctor’s appointment, and I was not looking forward to the after part cos the only time she gets all crabby and irritable is after getting her jabs.The nurses loved seeing her and commented on how beautiful she was growing. She had also gained a bit of baby fat and was just too cute and adorable. Once we were all done at the doctor’s, I decided to pop in first at the Bakery to let Erica know that we were back. I settled Athena into her stroller, and she was sleeping peacefully like an angel. From the outside, I could see that Erica had some customers but couldn’t see them very clearly cos of the frosted glass. I opened the door and

CHAPTER 35BELLA When we got to my flat, I asked Jacob and Arianna to make themselves comfortable while I attended to Athena. Afterward, when I came back to join them, it warmed my heart to see that they had helped themselves to some juice from the fridge and made themselves comfortable and were not behaving like strangers. I placed Athena on her play mat, and Jacob immediately came to her and started to talk to her, mimicking a baby voice. She just smiled back at him and made gurgling sounds while trying to grab onto his fingers. I could see the love in Jacob’s eyes when he looked at Athena. I let him enjoy his time with his niece, and I went to sit next to Arianna. Just as I sat down next to her, she grabbed me into a hug again and said, “I can’t believe we finally found you” I hugged her back affectionately and told her that I had missed them all so much and there were times I was so tempted to contact her but didn't cos I was scared that Gabriel would find me. What she said next

BELLATRIX UNCLE GABRIEL
CHAPTER 72BELLA We all stopped what we were doing when we heard the excited voices of the children as they returned from the tour of the place, and turned our attention to them.The words, 'totally awesome', 'so cool', 'so pretty', and many more positive comments could be heard. That meant they really liked what they had seen, and that put smiles on our dials. They looked ecstatic, and I heard someone ask, “I saw all that, right? Please tell me it wasn’t a dream” and another voice answered, “You definitely saw it, Tina, we all did. Our rooms are super awesome! Did you see how much clothing and shoes there were in each of our cupboards? Even the door signs with our names on it are so cool. Like our sign is in the shape of a butterfly and says ‘Welcome to Kira’s and Tina’s room.’ We both love butterflies! I think that those aunts who asked us so many questions had something to do with it cos look around, all over are the stuff we and the others told them we liked” I know, I should not
BELLATRIX WELCOME HOME!
CHAPTER 71BELLA It’s finally here! The day we had all been eagerly planning and waiting for! Last night, after Gabriel and I checked up on my baby girl and Jacob, we joined the rest of the family in the living room and chatted till late hours of the night.When we left the bakery, the plan was to have an early night so that we would be well rested for the next day, however when we got home, we were all so excited and anxious and could not sleep.We wished the hands of time could move faster. After turning off the alarm and fully awake, I could hear the shower running. Gabriel was up early.I wondered if he managed to even fall asleep. He was so nervous about today. Last night, he seemed so stressed out when we got into bed, and I got worried and asked him what was going on. He then asked me, "What if all we did at Safe Haven were just to our liking and will not be that of the children’s?" I reassured him that I was confident that they were going to love everything about the place and t
BELLATRIX HUNTER
CHAPTER 70NEOBeing amongst loved ones was just what I needed to get my mind off everything that happened with Crystal. The Knight family and our friends are phenomenal beings. Throughout the evening, they kept checking up on me without making it too obvious, though. Every time I caught Mrs. Knight watching me, she had a look of concern on her face, but she quickly changed to a smiling one as soon as she realized I was looking back at her. She is truly an earth angel. Ever since the first time Gabriel had introduced me to her, I was treated as her own son. Even though Gabriel and I had our fallout, I should have maintained contact with her. She had told me that she never believed that I was guilty of any of those things I was accused of but at the time I didn’t think of those who believed in me and whom would be hurt by me taking off. I was too busy drowning in self-pity. I am just glad to have sorted all our issues out now, and we can all move forward. But before I can completely do
BELLATRIX SECRET RECIPE
CHAPTER 69BELLA We all were even happier after hearing Alex and Arianna’s good news. I silently wished that joyous moments like those could last forever. Aside from the recent drama with Crystal, it's been so amazing having everyone together. If only Aunt Brie, Amber, and Pearl wouldn’t have to leave, but they had their commitments in Honeyville. During their time here, they have helped to bring us all so much closer together and have helped me a lot after being discharged from the hospital. I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard Erica ask who would like to help her out at the bakery to prepare treats for the Welcome Party. Everyone volunteered, Yes, even the guys! They said that they would help with the packaging and other odd jobs we may need them for. Gabriel and I told them that we would go check up on my baby girl and Jacob first and then meet them at the bakery. Thereafter, everyone decided to go home and freshen up and dress more comfortably and return to the bakery at a s
BELLATRIX GENTLE GIANT
CHAPTER 68ARIANNA My blabber mouth just had to let the cat out of the bag! That’s so not how I wanted everyone to find out about my relationship with Alex, but at least we got positive reactions. Gabriel totally freaked me out at first, though. My brother had always been on my case to stop messing around and commit to a stable relationship. But I was worried about how he would react when he found out that it was Alex I had decided to commit to. I shamelessly flirted with Alex every chance I got for years. He entertained it and flirted right back. We were very similar in not wanting to commit to any relationship at the time. But as time went by, I guess we both realized that there was more to the playful flirting, but we had too much pride to confess it to each other. I noticed that Alex started getting all jealous whenever he found out that I had been out on dates. He had been my brother’s right hand for many years. Being protective over me was part of the job at first, but it soon
BELLATRIX CHERRY ON THE CAKE
CHAPTER 67BELLA We got our fur babies all comfortable in bed baskets and packed up into the vehicle, we then headed off to Safe Haven. After we were screened at the gates, we were allowed in, and saying that I was impressed from the time we entered the place would be an understatement! Gabriel sure went all out. From the security gates, the beautiful gardens and children’s outdoor entertainment facilities, it was clearly visible that a very large sum of money was spent to get it looking the way it did and we had yet to see the inside of the place. Gabriel handed over our fur babies to the carers, who fell in love with them immediately and rushed off to get them all comfortable and settled in. As we entered, the house was filled with so much laughter and joy. Our group of women could be heard amongst the voices of the Safe Haven staff, and everyone sounded so happy and excited. Mrs Knight was on a roll. She had everyone on their toes, rearranging stuff and making sure everything was
BELLATRIX LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
CHAPTER 66BELLA Gabriel went with Neo to sort out some paperwork with the doctor. Erica and I remained in the waiting room. I phoned Arianna to check up on my baby girl and Jacob and she told me not to worry, they were both fine and that the house hold staff would be watching over them as all the women were going over to Safe Haven. I am glad they were still going. Then again, Mrs Knight would never put something as important as Safe Haven on hold because of Crystal. After my call to Arianna, I noticed that Erica was lost in deep thought. I gave her a side hug and asked if she was okay. She turned to face me and spoke in a sad tone, “Bell, I know it’s a terrible thing to say right now and will probably make me seem like a cold hearted and selfish person, but I can’t help it, I am glad that Crystal didn’t make it!” I gave her a full hug and told her that I fully understood how she felt, and she had valid reasons to feel all that she was feeling. “Do you think that Neo and I would eve
BELLATRIX GOOD BYE, CRYSTAL - RIH
CHAPTER 65BELLA Even though we got home rather late from the Café, everyone had waited up for us as they were so worried and curious about what had happened at the station house. We didn’t go into too much detail but gave them the gist of it all. Mr Knight said that there was no way they would allow Neo to suffer any consequences because of his sisters wrong doings. He instructed Gabriel to do whatever he could from his side, and he would also see what he could do from his end. Mrs Knight too said sternly, “I don’t care what you both do, but you better protect that boy! He has suffered more than enough because of that ungrateful wretch!” After much discussion till late into the night, we had all decided that we women would head out to Safe Haven the following morning to inspect the place and make sure it was all prepared and ready for the children to move in . The place already got the thumbs up from Building, Health & Safety, and Child welfare Inspectors. Also, all the registration
BELLATRIX HOUDINI ACT
CHAPTER 64ERICA Most of my childhood and right up to early adulthood memories were not so pleasant, and I wished I could totally wipe them out of my mind. My mum and dad were like oil and water and fought all the time. I used to wonder how they ended up married. They never shared that tale. Long story short, when they finally decided to divorce, I thought it was the best thing ever! One would say that I was crazy to have been happy that my parents were splitting up, but trust me, they were HELL together! Having witnessed what they went through, I had lost faith in relationships. I needed to get away from my parents, and as soon as I could, I moved out of Honeyville and headed for the city, and started to rebuild my life. My mum and I kept in contact, but my dad distanced himself from me. He seemed to have divorced his daughter, too! I was so angry at first, but I decided that I was never going to force anyone to love me and especially not my so-called father! Once I settled in the c
