Bella I shook the lawyer Reggie brought to handle my case as he wasn't just good; he was far better than Mr. Anthony.He walked out, and I turned to give Reggie a hug. Five days in that hell wasn't a joke.Though it wasn't an easy task, as Angelica made sure I spent more days, Reggie was convinced and had to take this case down. It was his company and his goods so, no one had the right to send his wife to prison… He got Stone to work on the case and made sure I was released.I turned and hugged Reggie real good before going into his car. I had to go home, and I had to change into some decent clothes. I heard Don would be back in a few days and I was having a bad feeling about it.Reggie didn't let go of my hands as we sat in the back seat while his driver took us to his house. I felt at peace with this soul and I don't know why.We got back and Christa was already waiting for us at home. Reggie had made sure she was with Korozon at his place inside of my place.It was still early so,

'She was brought in by a group of policemen.'Kept repeating in my head as Reggie drove into the hospital.The car stopped, and we both walked in as quickly as we could. It's a miracle I haven't passed out yet. Due to the way my heart was beating? I thought I was also going to be hospitalized. Calls like this scares the ghost out of me! I'd never get used to being called like that.What could have possibly gone wrong? She came to visit me the other day! I had several thoughts going through my mind right now. But I just had to relax and see my aunt first!I talked to the receptionist, and she respectfully directed me to the ward Aunt Esperanza was in."Thank you," I replied and took the elevator.On getting there, I saw different people outside the ward and a few doctors trooping in and out of the same room number the receptionist told me. This feeling sent chills down my spine. I don't like this feeling. This weird feeling of seeing doctors running back and forth scared me, but Reg
The tone of their voices sounded like a suspicious tone. It was the same tone Aunt Esperanza used on her.Alexia swallowed hard, thinking of something to say as we all stood waiting for her response. I turned and saw Reggie still on a call. He was taking too long on the call. Just then, he walked over to where we were and whispered something into my ears. "Business calls. There's a little problem at the office, it really needs my attention…. I'm really sorry but...""It's fine, you can go… I understand." I nodded, and he kissed my cheeks. Yeah, I need him, but I understand the problem his company is currently suffering from. And it would be selfish in my end If I don't let him attend to it. "I do hope you understand. I'll be here as soon as I can… I promise." And with that, he made his way out. Drey was already waiting for him in his car, so he got in and left. I watched him leave before turning to Alexia, who was somewhat sweating. This is what being a caring friend looks like. If o
Bruno had been detained after a few investigations. I had a bad feeling about it; I had a bad feeling about everything.Staring at his face while he was being interrogated made me feel bad.After seeing the CCTV footage from my office, the police were one step ahead of Angelica and Alexia this time. They were smart, but the cops were smarter!I wondered why he would record me, anyway. I trusted him as my bodyguard, only for him to do this. I got jailed because of this! With all the threats and questions, he was still bent on not saying who sent him or who his boss was.But what we are yet to find out is if he actually had a hand in whatever happened to Raymond or even my aunt.I placed my hand on my necklace while watching them. I really hope they make him talk. He might know who got Ray killed.Just while I was in thought, Brown walked behind me. "Hey, my love - everything is set… your uncle is at the cemetery… we are all waiting for you." He said, touching my shoulders. He had been
"Don, please!" For an old man, Don Maximo was pretty strong. His grip was so strong that I couldn't pull myself away from him."I'd teach you how to unlove that, Reggie." He took me up to my room and threw me inside. I fell on the floor and he quickly locked me in.I got up and ran over to the door, but he had locked it and left with the keys."Uncle!!!" I banged the door countless times, but no one came for me. I yelled and yelled until it was late in the night. There was nothing I could do. He now had all my employees under him while I was locked up.Meanwhile, Reggie was the one calling me. He called and called until he could no longer take it.After a while, my number went busy. Don had blocked him from calling me.Reggie drove to the estate, and as usual, he needed to get through the securities."You're not allowed in here, Mr." the man said to him. Apparently, Brown knew his brother would wanna go to my house once he called, and I didn't pick up.Don was simply following his in
Reggie[I have your beloved Bella with me.] That text came with a picture of Bella and a gun pointed at her head.While I had Stone investigate the whereabouts of Bella, I was in a conference meeting. Due to the tremendous loss, Smiths Corporation was slowly going down, and I needed everything I could to get it back on its feet. I had been restless and absent-minded during the entire meeting. My phone was on my table, my eyes fully fixed on it. I had been expecting a call, text, anything… even an update on Bella's whereabouts."The new warehouse is ready. All we need now is to restock." A client said into his mic."I agree so, we can be back in business - What do you think, Mr. Smith?" Another client added, but my gaze was still on my phone.The moment I saw the text and picture, I quickly opened it to look at it. People in the hall turned to look at each other as the faint look I had all morning turned into a frown.Was Bella kidnapped?I raised my head to see the men in suits sta
BellaI stuck my hair behind my ear and walked over to the window. I gently opened it to see if Brown's car was outside. I tried leaving last night, but his men kept a close watch on me. I had no phone and no way to contact Korozon to know how my child was doing. Or even Reggie. I'm sure he must be worried by now.It was obvious they were keeping me like a prisoner here. They didn't allow me to go out.I lowered my head to look at my wrists. It's now red due to the rope they used in tying my both hands.Brown had forced me to make a stupid video of God knows what. He also brought some ladies to do some fake and weird makeup on my face and body.In the process, they tied my hands up and made me sit close to the camera. It seemed like a ransom video, the one I watch on TV. I looked really hurt and tortured even when I wasn't even touched.Well, Brown wouldn't allow anyone to lay a finger on me. But I still had no idea what that video was for.Just while I was deep in my thoughts, I saw
