BellaI shivered as my body slowly entered the bathtub. Reggie was trying really hard not to stare at me. He held my hand and sat close to the bathtub.While staring at my face he said, "You tiny little thing… you really want to drive me nuts, huh?" After some time; I felt the crazy urge dissipating from my body. The cold water had helped to suppress the effect of the drug. I took a deep breath and slowly opened my eyes. My eyes scanned the entire bedroom and then it fell on Reggie, who was close to me. What happened? I turned and saw that I had been undressed. Wtf! I had no clothes on. Though I was still weak and inside the bathtub, I didn't feel comfortable. He wasn't staring but I had to be sure; we didn't... "Did we…" My brow creased in fear. I just couldn't help it. We could have done something, he could have seen something. I feel a slight headache as I slowly recall… 'Damn! In his car?' I facepalmed in irritation as I remembered those awkward moments… but what happened? Those
[One can't be drugged with mere wine, Investigate that and also, I'm a bit suspicious of Bella. She has the same scar as Maya. I want that investigated as well. I need an update in less than 12 hours.]Reggie sent the text to Stone and turned to me. I just had my bath, but I had nothing to wear. He walked over to his wardrobe and brought his pants and shirt for me to wear."Here, try this on." He stretched his hand and gestured for me to take it. I shook my head and rejected it. I couldn't possibly wear his clothes home. What would my uncle think? Brown knows his brother's clothes. He could easily tell that I had been with his brother throughout the time he thought I was missing. "Why? Is there something wrong with my shirt?" He smirked."What if Brown sees it on me and gets the wrong impression?" Reggie rolled his eyes. "You care about his feelings that much?" Reggie frowned. He couldn't help but feel jealous. "It's Sunday and most of the cloth stores around here won't open until n
Reggie *Bella's mansion*"Bella, where's Christa?" Alexia asked the moment Bella got inside. She gave Alexia a surprised and exhausted look. She just got back from work, how was she supposed to know?"I should be asking you… I just got back- where's korozon?" Bella asked. "We've been looking for her for the past three hours now." Alexia panicked, she thought Bella had taken Christa to the office."What!" Tears clouded her vision. She could hear her heart racing. She quickly stood up and walked into Christa's room. "Honey!" She cried, scanning the entire room but didn't get a response."Alexia, where's my daughter? - Where is Korozon? When last did you see her… call Bruno, call the police… do something, Christa can't go missing!" Bella cried searching the entire house for Christa."Bella, you need to calm down. We already informed the police. Aunt Esperanza and Korozon went out to look for her… and I was instructed to stay here, in case Christa comes back home." Alexia explained with
Bella"What? There's a lead on my husband's case?" Angelica's voice trembled. How incompetent of Thomas and Marcus."You don't sound happy, ma'am." The officer's voice came again on the phone.Hiding her emotions was something she just couldn't do. She tried to put up a happy tone. "Of course, I am… uh.. just let me know whatever it is you find out." "You can count on us, Mrs. Smith." The officer replied and ended the call.Angelica walked out of her car. 'Curse you, Brown! You keep getting in my way… how dare you get ahead of me? He's my husband, allow me to handle this. Where the hell are you hiding, Renato.' Angelica thought. After getting him to sign the documents she wanted, her precious husband had gone missing, and she had to get ahead of Brown in looking for him or she might get exposed.She walked into the casino and took her seat in the VIP area. While trying to place her bet, the croupier told her that she wasn't qualified to play."Why is that?" She asked, curious."You h
Reggie Stone should be here by now. What's keeping him so long?I had almost gotten into that ward, but I saw Bruno and three other bodyguards outside. They seemed to be guarding the room against someone.My phone rang again and as expected, it was Stone."I'm close to room 3061, Where you at?""Just shut up and come over to room 3068." I was getting upset. He should've been here a while ago.Luckily, the patient in room 3068 allowed me in, he was getting discharged today so, it was cool by him. I walked towards the door to open it. I fixed my gaze on Christa's room and saw that the bodyguards were now multiple. There were about six of them now. It's really going to be hard to get pass through those hefty men. 'Stone, I need you. Where the hell are you?' I turned my gaze looking if I could see someone who looked like stone."Ma'am, you can't take the little child home. She still needs to be under observation." I heard the doctor's voice. Bella was talking to the doctor outside the ro
BellaMy bodyguards gave way for Brown and I to get it in. Brown stared at the mess on the floor but didn't care.Reggie stepped forward and squatted down in front of the entrance to pick the paper up, but a bodyguard stepped on it.He picked the rest of the things that were on the floor and set out to leave, but the doctor stopped him."Doc, I presume you came to check on her? Where is your record?" He asked Reggie who seemed to back him. Reggie heard it and knew if he said a word, even if I didn't recognize it. His brother was going to. So, he just arranged the stray he scattered and was about to walk out, when the bodyguard shut the door."The doc asked a question." That was Bruno's voice.Reggie raised his head up and took a deep breath. He had been trying not to say a word, but then, he might as well just do it."Seems…" he tried to talk, but the door fell wide open. Another doctor walked in with a face mask. He greeted the doctor beside me and turned to Reggie, who looked so pis
BellaI lay on my bed, feeling reluctant to go for breakfast. I don't wanna see my uncle's face, not even Aunt Esperanza's. I thought she was on my side. They fixed a date without even letting me know. I just rolled over in my bed, thinking. Just then, I heard a knock on the door."Mummy?" Christa called and opened the door. "Mummy, are you still sleeping?" She entered, holding a phone in her hands.I gently got up with a smile on my face. She literally brightens my mood. "I was… but not anymore, baby." I carried her up to my bed. I stared at her and memories from the hospital came flooding my mind. "Um… honey? Listen, were you able to talk to a man in the hospital? - I mean, did you see someone asides the doctor in your room - the day you were injured?"She looked up at me as if trying to think if she remembers. "Um... yes, mummy… he was the first person I saw.""Really Honey? What's his name? What does he look like?""I really can't remember his name, mummy but I know he's very ha
Angelica "Now, that's what I'm talking about." Brown and I shook hands. We were more than family. Let's just say, partners in crime. "And the doctor?" Brown asked. "His lips are sealed. Just a bullet to his dick and he gave in." "No bribes?" Brown asked, lighting a new cigarette. "Some cash to make sure he co-operates and keeps quiet." I said with my head held high. My men never disappoints. Brown stretched his hand out for a shake. "Doing business with you is always worth it." Well, why not? I mean, it's me… anything to keep Reggie all to my sexy self. I shook his hands and nodded. "I heard the news about your wedding. It's trending on Twitter… I also got the invite. 25th August… it's next week, right?" "Yes - Of course, it's going to trend, I mean, it's my wedding." Brown felt on top of the world. Having a person such as Don Maximo is such a huge win for him. Of course, Bella would wanna listen to her uncle. ~~~~ Brown had left the Smith villa, so I sat quietly
