ISABELLA'S POV
Marko's eyes blaze with anger after the mocking tone I use.
"Even if you hide me under the ocean, my Sydney will always find me." I taunt enjoying it. "Do you know why?" Marko's eyes don't leave mine but I notice him clenching his fists from the corner of my eye. "I am his. And he'll always destroy whoever touches what's his."
The gunshots increase and become louder. Marko screams in frustration and I smirk. "He'll get you Marko Russo. And I'll be the one to end you as he holds you down." His eyes shift to my belly and I see a smirk form in his mouth.
"I see the water Ringo gave you is working." I furrow my eyebrows in confusion until.
"What water? And who's Ringo?" I question. There's no water I was given.
"The drinking water that you ate with your 'lunch'." Marko clarifies and makes a sign of quotation marks on the wor
SYDNEY'S POVIsabella's cry made my heart clench. What did those bastards do to her? I pick her up and rush towards the helicopter and place her on the seat horizontally. I make sure she's safe and won't fall before I jog to the pilots side to find a dead man. What the hell happened here?I take the body and throw it aside and climb into the bloody cockpit. Everything was set ready. I only have to take off and that's what I do.I land the helicopter ten minutes later on the helicopter pad on the roof and some nurses run to me looking confused."My wife. Help her." One of them nods and runs to a small building on the side and takes a stretcher. I carry Isabella to it and they take off running as I follow them closely."God." I let out a shaky breath."Who are you to her sir." A dark skinned woman asks me when Isabella gets i
ISABELLA'S POVI'm woken up by a cry. I want to ignore it but my conscience reminds me its my baby's. I get up so fast and see someone taking the baby from the bed. "Don't touch him!" I snap. The hands release my son immediately."He was crying. Sorry." The voice makes my eyes widen and I look up. "Mum? Gosh I'm so sorry. I never checked and since I woke up the last time and thought he's gone I've just been paranoid." I try to explain. I feel so guilty. Gosh! The baby doesn't stop crying and I take breast out for him to suckle.My mum comes next to me and smiles then hugs me. "I'm just so happy you're okay. I thought I lost you at the shooting." I hug her back but she flinches when I squeeze her but doesn't move away."You were shot." I state."It was just a scrape. I'll live. I heard my grandson was born and I had to come and see you." I smile at th
SYDNEY'S POVTWO YEARS LATERPokePokePokeI peek and see my son Aiden pressing his fingers next to my ribs. I want to laugh but I hold it in. I wait for a few minutes before I get up suddenly and catch him off guard. He lets out a small scream before running out of the room knowing I'd follow him. And I do. I go to his room and pretend to look for him even though I know he's under the bed."Where is he?" Ask as I pretend searching until I pull him out as he screams. I place him on the bed and start tickling him on the sides until as always, Izzy comes and saves him."Get off my baby you monster!" She shouts as she runs to us and we all fall to the bed.That is our usual mornings. We laugh and Izzy kisses Aiden on the cheek. "Breakfast is ready." She announces as she gets up. Aiden jumps up runs out and we laugh.
"How about I buy you a drink? You look like you need one." I look up from the beer I am drinking and my eyes land on a very handsome gray eyed man. He has a perfect jawline with a 5 o'clock shadow on it. His lips look so plump and inviting and I imagine how it would feel to smash my lips against his or better yet how they would feel between my..."Miss?" his sexy voice disrupts my devious thoughts. I am already drunk but I still can't forget the asshole living in my apartment. Maybe I need another distraction?"What?" I snap at him but I see a smirk forming on his stupid handsome face. Why is he so happy? Happiness only lasts for some minutes. Life isn't all peaches and roses."I asked if you wanted a drink but since your checking me out maybe you never heard." He has a smug smile that irritated the shit out of me. What I would do to wipe it. Or kiss it before wiping it.I tsk and shake my head at him. "Too
I enter into my apartment and find a sleeping Ian on the couch. Looks like he was waiting for me. I roll my eyes and get into the bathroom after taking fresh clothes and strip off my dress."Bella? Baby, you in there?" I roll my eyes immediately getting irritated with Ian. Of course I am in here in the shower. I decide to assume him. I'm not ready to deal with his crap now. Twenty minutes later I am done and I go to the kitchen. I move straight to the fridge looking for something to eat when I only see a few eggs. 'Looks like I have to do some grocery shopping.' I sigh.I feel Ian pressing his chest to my back and try to kiss me but I push him away. I loved when he did that but now I can't stomach it. I turn to him. "Thought you were supposed to be gone. I can't stand your sight now. Makes me sick." I sneer at him. I loved Ian and however much I tried I couldn't get the picture out of my head."I was worried about
I enter King's company while my heart is beating so fast. I have an interview in twenty minutes and to say I'm nervous would be an understatement. I will my legs to the receptionist who I expect to be the cliché type but instead find a beautiful lady with so minimal makeup and dress pants typing. My kind of girl. She looks up when she feels my presence and casts a smile that I know is practiced."Umm. Hi, I came for the human resource position interview." I try smiling at her politely. Her eyes light up in recognition."Isabella Styles, isn't it?" My face must be showing confusion. "Oh! There only two of you and the other one just came in." That explains it."Thought I was some celebrity there." I laugh at my humour and the lady joins me. I look at her name tag. Emily. "Well you're not." Emily says in matter of fact with a slight humour. I only grin at her."Hope you ge
I go straight to my shitty apartment. “You’ll be mine Isabella Styles.” His voice is now haunting me! Why would he want someone like me? I change into a large t-shirt and some yellow sweats.‘I really need a job.’ I tell myself as I think of what to eat. I make some spaghetti with lots of cheese. Looks like I’m going for cheese then. Since I know I wouldn’t cook again till the next day I decide to make lots so that I would just heat it up later. That’s pretty much how I always survive. I suddenly feel some pain in my lower abdomen but I ignore it. Maybe it is just my periods. They have been a week late after all.I eat my food and decide to go buy some pads. It’s always good to be prepared after all. I put my hair in a messy ponytail and take my beaded Masai sandals that my best friend Harry got me on one of his travels to Africa. He is a photographer who travels everywhere. I
Five fucking weeks pregnant? How? I’ve only been with one man.Sydney Kings.But he used condoms. Or not? Oh! My! Fucking! Gosh! How could I have been so careless? Now I have a baby inside of me? I touch my belly but I remember the bleeding.“I was bleeding. What happened? Is it safe?” My heart is pounding so fast that I have to breathe in deeply.“I’m sorry Ms Styles but you encountered a condition called ‘Vanishing Twin Syndrome.’ You had twins but you had a miscarriage and only one of them survived.” My heartbeat picks up again and I feel some pain in my chest. I am already a bad mother in a month into pregnancy.I feel a tear drop to my cheeks but I wipe it so fast. My life is prone to disasters and I am used to it. Maybe I’m just a sucker for pain.I might be ‘the tigress’ but

I get into my private jet and wait impatiently for take off. What's taking long? I wonder two minutes later. A minute wasted is a minute of my love in danger. I tap the arm rest for a minute before I stand and storm to the cockpit."Why are we still on the fucking land?" I ask and the pilot who's pushing the buttons jumps in his seat."You have to calm down. We've already started the take off process and you should be buckled up sir." Leila, the co-pilot says. I take in a deep breath and try to release my frustrations then huff and go back to my seat. I find Joey seated and typing something."We have a problem sir. It seems Luke is captured by your brother." Joey says cautiously. I rub the bridge of my nose in frustration. Why are all these happening right now?"What about my wife?" I ask."Her mother was found with a bullet in her left arm. Candice
SYDNEY'S POV"Isa and her mother just got into the black van with Candice." Luke says and I breath in in relief. It's time to go find Harry and take down Marko Russo.I walk to my safe and press in 'Rose22' and it immediately clicks open. I smile as I think of my passcode. 'Rose.' It was the day I received a file on Isabella's dad. His information said he had a daughter. Isabella Rose Styles. I never told Isabella that I knew her name until they day we made love a few days ago and I moaned her middle name during our high.I take out a HK p9 that I had bought for Isabella but was yet to give it to her and load it. Look like I'll buy her another one. Isabella handles her guns so well and I loved seeing her face light up when she saw the different guns. My wife's a badass.I hear a knock breaking my thoughts before I grunt a get in. Joey and Kane get in. I take my other gun. An M
I get into the black van in a trance. "What did Sydney say to you?" My mother asks when I get comfortable. "You've been out of it." She says sneakily."I love you." He told me that. He told me he loves me."Okay. You're smiling. Now I'm curious." My mum laughs and I look at her and the urge to hug her overwhelms me. I place my hands around her cheeks and bring her close to me and kiss her cheeks and she laughs. I'm just so happy that I don't know what to do. I want to scream in happiness and sing in my so bad voice. I got my voice from my dad apparently."He loves me." I laugh as a tear falls. Candice pats my back. I even forgot she's here."I never knew I'd get to see my Bella in love." My mum says as I smile. What she says hits me. I never got to say the words back. Am I in love with Sydney Kings? I think of all the times we were together. The arguments, the time in the cott
ISABELLA'S POVWe just arrived two days ago in Toronto. This is the best gift Sydney has given me. Time to bond with my mother as he's away. He knows how much I want to make up for lost time with my mother and he did it before I even told him so. He also thought that having my mum here with me when I was about to give birth would be good for me. I know deep down he's scared to leave me alone incase anything happened to him and to say I'm terrified would be an understatement. The other reason Sydney sent my mum with me was for protection. The Italians could come for her and take her like they did to Harry. Harry. I still can't believe that witch Amelia would have them take him away. I don't even know if he's alive."What's wrong baby?" My mother's voice startles me. I look up and see her giving me her small smile. I try to smile back but I can't. "I just hope Harry is okay. And I kinda miss Sydney." I say but she smiles at that. She hug
SYDNEY'S POV "Isabella and her mother just got into the Toronto safehouse." Luke, my best friend, tells me. I've sent him to take care of my wife and her mother in Toronto as I try to finish this mess once and for all. My wife. Isabella Kings. It still sounds unreal but I fucking love her name. I love her. I just have to end this once and for all then go to her and the baby.No one knows that Isabella is out of the country since Luke and I tried to make it as discreet as possible. It's part of my plan and I pray it works. I want the best life for my family. The mafia will only destroy it like it did to me. To Isabella. We killed her dad just like we killed my mum. Since then I have been trying to act on the plan I read in a book when I was six years younger. A plan that I have started by taking the first step. Isabella has already signed the merging contracts which makes it easier to manage both companies later.
