The atmosphere in the living room turned eerily quiet. Belle could hear the thumping voice of her heart. Alaric's gaze turned more intense with time."Why?" After much deliberation, Alaric finally parted his cold thin lips and uttered only a word."Huh?" Belle tilted her head and let out a confused voice."Why did you marry me? You could have denied it." Alaric leaned back and leisurely crossed his long legs giving an oppressive feeling. Belle was under immense pressure and fidgeted with her fingers before taking deep breaths to calm her throbbing nerves."Because you have that one thing I am looking for." Belle, too, leaned back and closed her eyes with a mocking smile on her cherry lips. It looks like she had to tell him the truth mixed with lies. "Ha! Do you regret giving your first to me?" Alaric asked out of the blue."I did it willingly. Believe it or not, it wasn't a part of my plan but my duty as your wife." Belle turned her head sideways only to meet with a pair of predating
Belle stood before the French ceiling-to-floor window and watched the bright stars in the dark sky. She then traced the outline of her reflection on the window. One year to show her sincerity. Was Alaric playing games with her or trapping her? She wasn't able to figure out his true motive behind this bet. On the second floor, in the study room, Alaric loosened his tie and massaged his throbbing temples. A piece of land? How could a person as cunning as Alaric couldn't guess which land she was asking? "Annabelle Smith, so you are from there. No matter what, you are my woman now." Alaric walked to the wine cellar in the corner and filled his glass. He twirled the glass with a devilish smirk. "Bro?" Gil-the blabber mouth, barged into the study while panting heavily. "I can't find anything about my sister-in-law when she was in Italy. It was as if someone intentionally removed all the traces of her past." Gil took the wine bottle from Alaric's hand and gulped it down without reserv
Under the century-old tree, Belle lay there with her eyes closed. Her pale, long slender fingers tapped on the screen of her cell phone."Should I call him or not?" Belle asked herself and opened her bloodshot eyes. She wasn't able to get a wink of sleep last night. Alaric didn't return to their room which left Belle perplexed. She was deep in her thought when her phone rang, breaking the tranquillity of her thoughts."Sensei?" Belle called out to the person with a tired voice which was unlikely of her."Your husband and his brother are trying to dig out your past, little one. Complete what you have been delaying and return to your world- a world where you belong." Sensei warned her as if telling Belle it was his last time helping her. "He knows I want that land and has asked me to show my sincerity if I want that land." Belle looked down at her well-trimmed nails and whispered in a feeble voice."With his level of IQ, he must have doubts about you. Well, it doesn't matter if he know
While Belle was contemplating what to do, a storm was about to swamp her life. Far away in Italy, a cold and handsome man stood before the indoor swimming pool, wearing a bath towel, while taking slow sips of the cigar. "Boss, are you sure about it?" Beside him stood a slim sassy man with gold-rimmed glasses. He was holding a tablet and typing something on it furiously."When have I regretted my decision, Carol?" Sensei looked at the slim man with a raised brow."Your decisions are always precise, but this time- it is a huge step. We are making a move against Walkers, and they are no easy to deal with," Carol asked and adjusted his glasses. His covered eyes flickered with slyness."That is why they are our target." Sensei sneered with humour."Boss, are you sure Belle can do this mission without letting her emotions overtake her?" Carol pursed his lips, and black lines formed on his broad forehead. "She is my trump card, and I believe she can take that land from Alaric. If she can't,
"Dad, is that you?" The younger version of Belle took small steps on the wooden pavilion. "Oho! My little princess is here. Come, dad will take you there." Albeit (Belle's biological father) pointed at the other end of the river bank. It was green and flourished with fruits. "But dad, I have s little work to complete." Belle stood a few meter's distances from the blurry figure. She wanted to move, but her feet were glued to the ground."Ok, princess. Dad will be waiting for you here. We will cross the river together." Albeit laughed and waved at Belle as his blurry figure disappeared from Belle's sight. "Dad..." Belle sobbed while calling her father."Belle? Open your eyes." Alaric gently tapped on her soft cheek. He was getting ready for the office when he heard Belle crying and calling out to her dad."Hiccup!" Belle slowly opened her teary eyes and drowsily looked at Alaric, who was hovering over her. His face scrunched up in worry. "Nightmare?" Alaric asked as he passed her a
"Man!" Edden barged into President's office with a mischievous grin on his handsome face. He threw his bulky body on the sofa with a loud thud."Edden, this is my office, not yours." Alaric did not look at Edden and typed on his laptop with a serious face. "Your office is my office. Well, it doesn't matter much. I have important news for you." Edden rubbed his nose and pulled out a rolled page from the inner pocket of his coat."This fast?" Alaric asked with a raised brow. His thin cold lips tilted upwards into an evil grin. "My agency is fast. If you got to read what's written in it, you'll have a heart attack." Edden provocatively waved the page in front of Alaric."Oh?" Alaric snorted with disinterest and turned all his attention to the highlighted words on the page. His beautiful eyebrows scrunched up and a few lines formed on his forehead."You ought to remove the treasure from there. If that gangster lands his hand on to, it will be disastrous." Edden suggestively proposed. T
In the Smiths' Enterprise, Apollo looked at the portrayal of John and Albeit. A wave of jealousy surged in his heart."Look, brother, today I have the Smiths' Enterprise all to myself and you- you are beneath the earth- beneath me." Apollo laughed and clicked his tongue with an ironic smile."All this while dad only saw you as the capable son, who can spread our business, and I, who was I? The useless son." Apollo hysterically laughed at his past.Although, Albeit and Apollo were the sons of John, Albeit had always been a filial, kind and talented child, so John preferred him instead of the unfilial son. Albeit never took interest in family business and affairs. From his teenage times he was a womaniser. Albeit and Apollo both studied in the same university, but their nature was earth apart. That was when both brothers met Nora- simple and sweet girl, and that was when the real fight begun.
"Dad, grandpa is going to hand the company to Belle." Bellamy walked to and fro inside Apollo's office while biting her nails. "No way! Where did you hear this nonsense from?" Apollo slammed hard on the dest. His face turned red from anger."I heard grandpa talking to his old friend on the phone. He said he is going to give Belle her dad's shares, and if we count, her dad has 20% shares. " Bellamy scratched her short hair and threw the glass on the floor."How many times have I told you not to lose your calm? If it's his decision, then we need to hurry our plan." Apollo smirked.Bellamy relaxed hearing her father's words. If the king wants to step on the battlefield, who dares to win against him? She felt smug when she thought of Belle's miserable-crying face. That was what she wanted- misery in Belle's life. Tod caught her attention not because he was good-looking, but because he was Belle's boyfriend.
"But why is Sensei behind that land? He can build the research building anywhere." Carter, who had his head in his palm, asked in confusion. This was the central question, and no one knew the answer. "Research building?" Alexi snorted. "When did Sensei start a legal business? We all know he is not a law-abiding citizen." Alexi played with her curly hair. "What do you think, Belle?" Hazel turned to ask Belle, who was silent when she stepped in."We will know. We must complete this mission if we want our freedom." Belle took in a deep breath and remained silent. Henry gazed at Belle for a brief moment before reverting his gaze. Among them, Henry knows Belle the most because they both joined the organization same time and relied on each other in life-and-death situations. Luca also looked at Belle. He was the youngest member of their organization, and Belle doted on him the most. To him, Belle was like an elder sister more than a buddy."You have fallen hard for Alaric, Belle. You sh

"Yo! Belle, how come you are here on your own accord?" Luca covered his mouth, pretending to be shocked by the sudden appearance of Belle."I have something important to discuss with you all." Belle walked to the 3D business model, and the light in her eyes dimmed for milliseconds before regaining their usual calmness."We heard something from Italy. Is it true?" Hazel walked out of the kitchen with a spatula in her hand."Mmm. Alaric probably knows something about our organisation. If I want that land, I must show him my sincerity." Belle casually plucked out a few rounds of grapes and dropped them into her mouth."But why is Sensei behind that land? He can build the research building anywhere." Carter, who had his head in his palm, asked in confusion. This was the central question, and no one knew the answer.
The whole New York city was in peace, so much that it alert Belle and Alaric. They could sense the bloodbath in the calmness of the city. "They are married? Good for me to finish them all at once." Somewhere in the warehouse of France, a bulky man laughed showing his decaying teeth. Blood dripped from his clothes and his fingers. All around him were dead bodies and their heads were missing. Blood flowed like a stream on the floor. The pungent smell of blood spread everywhere. The site of it was gruesome for any normal human being."What are your plans?" His lacky passed him towel to clean the blood."I love seeing blood and it smells refreshing." He closed his eyes and inhaled the smell like he was inhaling the fragrance of a flower.
"I'll throw you out of the house, if you wake you sister-in-law up." Alaric threatened Gil and alas it worked. Gil immediately turned to an obedient boy, which of course he was not."What's the deal with you both?" When Alaric let go of his collar, Gil asked in a low whisper audible only to Alaric. "We have to pluck him out of her mind. I am sure he is using her." Alaric carelessly pulled out a cigarette and lit it. He thrust his other hand in his pocket. He looked no less than an immortal."Regarding that, I get that that land is precious, but what does it have to do with him?" Gil rubbed his chin in confusion."You are still young to know the reason." Alaric waved his hand and dismissed Gil's question.
Alaric softly closed the door, afraid he would wake her up. After drinking four to five bottles of vodka, Belle blacked out leaving a frustrated Alaric to lament on her words."You are a one heartless woman." Alaric clicked his tongue, but the adoration in his voice was evident. "Bro?" Gil who was sleeping for the whole time finally made an appearance. He was mortified seeing the cute smile on his brother's lips. "You are smiling after torturing us." Gil almost yelled in his high pitch voice. Afraid to disturb Belle's sleep, Alaric covered Gil's mouth and dragged him out of the house. Poor Gil keep on flailing his arms and legs.
"But?""But you have to pay for it." Belle inched her face closer to Alaric. "Oh? How much?" Alaric pretended not to know about her intentions. "Why are you like this, you jerk of a husband." Belle hit Alaric on his chest with her little fist and to be honest it hurt Alaric a little. "What am I like?" Alaric held Belle's fist and rubbed it with his rough thumb."I didn't sleep with you for that land." Belle confessed with a small pout. Her lips trembled and tears threatened to flow down. "Then?" Alaric was stunned with her sudden burst of emotions
Alaric accompanied Belle on her drinking spree like a doting father. The calculating smile on his lips turned to an affectionate one. "Why are you staring at me?" Belle lay flat on the table with her flushed face. "Can't I stare at my wife?" Alaric chuckled and wiped the sauce which was about to drip from her nose tip."Uh! You can, but..." Bell, in her drunken stopper held her cheeks in her hands and gave a mysterious cheeky smile."But?" Alaric's interest was peaked and he slid closer to Belle..........Dear Readers,Sorry for these small updates. There's going to be a mass update tomorrow.Thank you!Best regards,Author_KK
Belle tapped on the screen of her mobile phone for the nth time. With each tap she bit her nails in frustration. How was it her fault? She hid her face in her hands and wailed in exasperation."I thought you might be sleeping." Belle was in her self-misery state and failed to notice the sound of door being opened."Oi! You scared me." Belle jumped in fright and put her palm on her chest to control the breathing of her heart."Am I a monster?" Alaric threw the tie on sofa chair and started to unbutton his shirt, revealing his flawless masculine chest."Shall we have a drink?" Belle gestured with her hand, passing a sweet smile.Alaric shut his eyes tightly to reject her offer, but on a second thought he agreed."Ok." The evil curve of his cold lips sent shivers down Belle's spine.This Devil was up to something dangerous.
