Belle Kensington’s POVHis hand slipped between my covers, where he pulled my stomach into his arms. “Don't ignore me,” he whispered, lowering that pointy chin to touch my quivering shoulders. “You know how much it hurts me when you ignore me like this. Everything I do will be wasted without you, baby.”He said that with such warmth. No one, not even my own mother, valued me as much as she did. My heart melted with that sweet, soul-stirring whisper, finally my defenses were breached for the umpteenth time.I turned my body to face him, searching for the face that looked at me with sadness yet longing. I nodded my head for him, “Sorry, something like this won't happen again. I just felt... useless without us. Silly, huh? I've never felt this stupid before. I thought being by your side would just be a burden.”“That's not true,” he quickly denied. “Pour out all your worries to me, Belle. I like it, it means your heart is completely filled with me. It makes me warm.”'Completely filled w
Belle Kensington’s POVLuke Davis was still with his family in the living room, I was alone in my room. My heart was racing at this very rare opportunity. If I wanted, even now I could call Mattheo with my cell phone. Afterward, I would turn my cell phone back off. That way no one would know who I had contacted.My fingers were already very close to the screen of my switched on cell phone. On the dialing dial, I was just a little bit away from pressing the row of phone numbers that I kept remembering. A little more, but my trembling hands stopped everything.'For what, Belle? Calling a man who hasn't looked for you and your baby in three months? For what?' I asked myself. Suddenly, the longing and curiosity evaporated into the silent air.Replaced with the last image, the last impression I got of Mattheo, replacing all the longing that had burst out earlier. I threw the cell phone towards the window, hearing the sound of it shattering as it landed on the ground.I looked down at the u
“By the way, the weather is so nice today!” I pointed with my finger at the bright, shining sky on the road leading to the Davis family's private airport. “When I opened the window, it was so cool! I wonder if it will be fresher than this in Japan?”Luke knew, even I knew. We both knew that both he and I avoided this serious topic at all costs. When someone says money can buy everything, they're not lying.Luke Davis was almost arrested for the stabbing he did to Mattheo Sinclair, the most influential man in the country's business district. Luke Davis' family, when they got the news, strongly denied that their favorite son would say such a thing.Supported by unclear CCTV camera footage, the case of Mattheo's stabbing that day could not be proven. Mattheo had also previously caused a scene at the hospital, leading the police to speculate that there had been a misunderstanding.I knew it was all a distraction. I was a living witness to the stabbing. I was there, Mattheo almost lost his
“Drop me off now,” I grumbled. “Just drop me off at the side of the road. You can go to the airport by yourself. I'll take Christ and Raven back to my apartment.”His hand pulled the car's throttle to its highest point, causing my body to bounce backward under his gravitational force. “Hey! Slow it down!” I yelled angrily, at him who increased the speed of the car so much that I could hear the sound of the tires clashing with the hot asphalt road.'Damn it.' I growled to myself. Luke really didn't care about my sleeping baby in the back. Driving a car at full speed with two babies in it is tantamount to suicide. I regret provoking him earlier.All my words were useless to his ears, which were already clogged with the fog of anger. The rest of our journey was filled with prayers in my heart, hoping that God would at least protect my twins from a freak accident.Luke put all the speed in the car to reach his private airport, having seen through my threat to get out of the car rather tha
Belle Kensington's POVI should have realized it! Why Luke Davis was so adamant about separating me from the mysterious guest who was looking for him. Because he knew that as soon as I saw his face, I would run straight to him without a care in the world.“Angel!” I shouted at the teary-eyed girl, bending her knees in front of the man who showed no mercy. “Luke! Don't hurt her! Stay there and don't touch her!”“Tsk.” Luke seemed to chuckle in displeasure as his eyes met mine, which was already running out of the car in a huff. Their conversation was instantly interrupted with Luke turning his back on the girl, taking out his cigarette and lighting it with a nonchalant attitude.“Angel! What in the earth are you doing here!?” I screamed. I pulled that girl's hand until her thin body staggered to me. I forced her to stand up while she was still busy wiping her tears.“Miss Belle...” She sobbed out my name. “Is it true... you would rather leave your family for a murderous man? When I hea
Luke Davis's POV“Sir. A woman is on your cell phone. We've rejected her call, but...” A subordinate approached me at the pilot's wheel, interrupting our conversation about the imminent departure.I grabbed my cell phone that was in his possession, then told him to leave, “You go to the center, make sure Belle doesn't follow me before I finish using the phone,” I ordered.On the cold, unused cell phone, I searched for the only contact number stored there. I knew this would happen, I just didn't know it would happen this late. My decision to hand over the phone to my subordinate was the best. I knew she would call me even if she knew Belle was still here.“Are you stupid?” was the first word I received when I gave her a call back. She sounded no more annoying than I had. Instead, she yells at me for not picking up her call.“Don't daydream, Luke. Do your work properly. You almost ruined my happy day because of your carelessness,” she chided harshly. I frowned, not understanding what sh
Belle's POV“Belle. Get up. We're out of milk.” A hand shook my body slowly but consistently. Luke Davis's voice calling out to me was overpowered by the sound of a baby crying on the side.My eyes open with great difficulty. Sleepiness strikes from an unexpected direction. I realize I'm in my chair with the blanket spread over my legs. Since when had I fallen asleep in my chair? My last memory was pumping milk for my baby.“We're out of milk. The milk on the fridge as well,” says Luke Davis, who is holding Raven in his arms. “You have to breastfeed him directly, Belle. I tried to give her formula, but he refused.”I immediately nodded my face, stretching my arms out for him to hand Raven to me. “I'm sorry for causing you trouble. I didn't realize I overslept. What about Christ?” I asked. Because the sound of crying could only be heard from Raven.“In his crib.” Luke pointed to the baby ca
Belle's POVHis reactions were always below my reach. My heart began to sway when he offered so much infinite kindness. My heart was still in a weakened state, and Luke came to offer me everything I needed. I felt like I wasn't myself.The evenings were hell. Thinking that when it was nighttime we could finally get some rest, it was a huge assumption that was so to blame. Both my babies whined uncomfortably at the surroundings. Although, this private jet is baby-frienly which has gone through various tests. It's safe to travel with a baby.“Maybe se's hungry,” Luke says beside me. He's in charge of taking care of Raven, because she cries the most if she's not carried around.“No, he's just bored,” I said, sitting exhausted on my bed. “I know the tone. He doesn't feel like he has company, that's why he keeps whining to you.”“Let me take him around. This is the milk bottle for his ration this hour, right?” Luke asked, referring to the open milk fridge on his right side. The exhausted m
Belle's POV“Nggg~” Raven whined in tears when I separated him from his soft pillow. Not much different from her brother, Christ, who had already cried when his deep sleep was awakened. I really couldn't bear to wake them up in their unhealthy state.'However, Mattheo is already in Japan. It's only a matter of time until he finds the location of this hospital and my nightmare will come true.' I reminded myself not to let my guard down for a second in this critical situation.“Forgive your mother, my dear. I'm sorry.” I repeatedly apologized to my two babies who had to become victims of their parents' problems. I had to do this now or never.While Robert was still talking to someone on his phone, while the hospital was still too quiet for the guards to find me. Once again, I had to leave everything behind for my two babies. I'm not sure I would have survived if I hadn't hurried now.As soon as I found out Mattheo had reached Japan, the stitches in my stomach were excruciating. My stoma
Natalia’s POVI never expected to get a surprise like this, Mattheo's coming to the hospital and seeing me alone had managed to make my heart beat.I never imagined that Mattheo would even give me another surprise that was even more shocking than the previous one, not only did it make me do heart exercises, but it almost made my heart fall out of place because I was so surprised to see Mattheo in front of my eyes when I was just a few steps away from getting into the car.It was even more shocking that he was waiting for me there, like he already knew what I was going to do after this. Mattheo, he couldn't possibly know that I was going to leave and escape through the back door of the hospital and he couldn't possibly know that I kept a car in the backyard of this hospital either, right?''So, what are you going to say again this time? What are you going to explain about everything that has happened this time, where are you going and what made you decide to escape from this hospital?'
Natalia’s POVWho would have thought, a few moments after the phone call with Ragen had been disconnected, the doctor came back into the hospital room and he again checked my condition, which was still lying weakly on the hospital bed even though it had been assisted by drugs and also an IV tube that was still attached to my wrist.I will not waste this good opportunity. I will ask the doctor if I can get out of the hospital right now, so that I can meet Mommy Ragen without getting suspicion from anyone, including Mattheo if he finds me out there again.Unfortunately what I hoped for didn't really come true, the doctor stuck to his decision of not allowing me to be discharged from the hospital. My body that was still weak and not fully healthy was used as an excuse to keep me here.But I also can't stay here like this, I have to go and see Ragen before she does something much worse, she could tell Mattheo and twist the facts so that Mattheo only hates me.No, I can't let that happen!
Natalia’s POV''Mattheo, can I talk to you outside? There's something I want to talk to you about,'' Robert said which made me turn my head, wondering to myself what Robert was going to talk to Mattheo about?Was he going to say something very important that I shouldn't know so Robert asked Mattheo to leave?Shit, why can't my brain think properly? Even if Robert asked Mattheo to talk outside together, I was sure that Robert wouldn't tell the truth. Yes, he is also the one who has always helped me, if what I hid from Mattheo was revealed, it would also drag his name and Robert would not do that, I'm sure.Never mind, I should just trust him for now. Trying to convince myself that Robert will definitely not do anything wrong, he must have thought about it and considered it carefully before doing something.''Talking together? What do you want to tell me, is there something important?''Robert without hesitation immediately nodded to confirm what Mattheo had questioned, confirming that
Natalia’s POV''Why does your face look so pale after seeing me? Your reaction is so exaggerated, it's like you're seeing a ghost.'' Mattheo mocking me again while I was still trying to convince myself that what I was seeing was real, that Mattheo's presence in front of my eyes was not a hallucination due to the effects of the medicine I had taken.But his coming to the hospital and visiting me was real.He was really in front of me and was even looking at me intently, my palms were getting wet when I saw the way Mattheo was looking at me. With my nerves getting the better of me, I tried to act casual despite the fact that my heart was almost out of place.I'm afraid that Mattheo knows the truth about me, I'm afraid that he knows what I'm hiding from him, and I'm also afraid that Mattheo knows what makes me here now.This stress that I'm feeling, I'm sure it has something to do with Mommy Ragen's request that told and forced me to follow her will, assist her to seize custody of both M
Natalia’s POVI never thought that things would never go as smoothly as Mommy Ragen wanted, the process of taking custody of the child that she wanted was not as easy as imagined.'There was too much drama to be done, too many lies that needed to be prepared in order to get everything that Mommy Ragen wanted.'However, the fire of desire that has been burning so big inside her makes she completely unadvised in any way, she still imposes her will and insists on doing everything possible so that her goal can be achieved immediately.Even I could only stay silent and pensive staring in disbelief at her in front of there who was still talking to the Lawyer to discuss what they would do next so that the custody of Belle's two children could fall into the hands of her grandmother who was none other than Ragen.I did not expect that her ambition to control all the assets inherited to the two babies would make her desperate to do anything, even to the point of trying to seize the custody of B
Ragen’s POV''Robert, no matter what happens. I hope you will keep your mouth shut from everyone, I don't want all this to leak out to others and put me in danger. Mommy would immediately suspect me if what she is planning to do is leaked to others, you want to help me right?''Robert immediately nodded his head, agreeing to what Natalia said to hide everything he knew. To keep everyone's mouth shut so that what was happening here wouldn't leak out.''Of course, you don't have to worry about me leaking it. I will definitely keep my mouth shut with everything that has happened, just relax.'' he reassured Natalia and managed to make her smile with relief, at least Robert could be trusted for now.''That's good, for the time being, we should hide everything that happened from everyone, especially Mattheo, he shouldn't know what his mother is planning. I myself am also reluctant to get involved with that oldman madness, I don't know what the end will be, but I can guess that things will d
Ragen’s POVFrom where I was sitting, I could see Natalia shaking her head, looking very distrustful of me who dared to go against the law to get what I wanted.Of course I dare because it's not the law that I will fight against that I have in mind, but the property that will belong to Belle's two children that will also belong to me if I manage to get custody of the two children.Whatever she thinks, I don't care what she thinks here either, I'm not asking for her opinion. But I'm just forcing her and the lawyer in front of me right now to do what I want.Yes, not just the lawyer. But Natalia must also comply with what I want, whatever I tell her, she must obey!''Why are you shaking your head like that, Natalia? What are you thinking?'' I asked her, furious too because more and more Natalia seemed very out of line with my mindset.''Nothing, Mom. Just.. I think I need to go to the restroom first, You just continue the conversation with Mr. lawyer.''Natalia immediately rose to her f
Ragen’s POV''Natalia, I only asked you to accompany me to the legal counsel. Why are you so scared of being found out by Mattheo? After all as long as we keep quiet and don't tell anyone then it will all be safe right, or do you really want me to do something to you first so that you will listen to what I say and make you want to obey my orders?''I stared at Natalia's two eyeballs so intently, giving off an intimidating aura that was so strong as to pressure Natalia and make her give up on her initial decision to refuse my orders.“Please, I can’t do this,” She’s still rejecting me.“You certainly know what I mean, Natalia. It's not a difficult thing to influence Mattheo to hate you by bringing up his children's names, I can do that if you continue to refuse me. Ah, how about I tell Mattheo that you secretly want to harm his children?''Natalia looked surprised when I suddenly turned my head to look at her, I also saw her body jumped up when I suddenly turned my head and looked at h
