CHAPTER 20: 'DAVID STANFORD'
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56The celebration started at 10 AM and ended at nearly 5 in the afternoon. There were more than twenty people who celebrated with us but Caleb was nowhere to be seen, maybe he was busy.
The celebration already ended and I was at the ground floor with Mariel when the three people at the elevator this morning went to me."Ahmm.. Miss Bella, can you please sign this for us?" Said Anne, the small one. They were all holding a magazine which was owned by the C.C. company."Yes of course!" They gave me a sign pen and I gladly signed my autograph on the front page of the magazine where my body and face was displayed."Thank you miss Bella!"I smiled. "You're welcome." With that, they left happily. I then saw Mariel's awkward expression. "Why are you looking like that?" I asked.He scratched her head shyly. "Ahmm..." He met my gaze. "Boss told me to not let anyone get near you except if it is about business or work."

They joined us in the circle. We’re sitting on a round table that has six chairs. There were still two chairs that’s currently empty.“I heard that miss Daño is the new appointed model of the De Villa’s company, I was doubting at first but seeing their month’s magazine, I found out that it was true.” The brown hair guy which I think was Kale stated.David chuckled. “I bet you’re stunned by her beauty’s charm in person?”“No need to question that one, it’s pretty obvious.” I plastered a grin on my face, wondering why the people suddenly shifted their gazes to us. I rapidly tapped my fingers on the table as I was waiting for the waiter to get near our direction. "That's way too exaggerating Mr. Kale, you and Mr. David seems so close?"Kael, Kale's twin brother who was about to sip his wine suddenly stopped and looked at me. His lips stretched, "David, my twin and I will be working on a project together so we already met a couple

"B-Black..." I didn't know if he heard me or not, but watching his emotionless look made me realize that he didn't hear my voice."Oh right!" Sofia exclaimed and moved elegantly. "I want you to meet Black De Villa, my fiancee." She happily announced.I felt my nails dug in my palm as a rough feeling seeped through my heart. Sofia's words made my composure down for a second. I never thought about this big news, nor did I heard or read it somewhere since I stepped in to this country again."It's nice to meet you again Mr. Black, I am David Stanford." He glanced at him."I am Kael and this is my brother--------""Kale, his twin." Kale interrupted.I witnessed how Sofia's hand held Black's elbow intimately before facing me with a smile. The man beside her didn't even bother to move her hand away.I composed myself and forced a smile, trying to calm myself. As much as possible, I don't want others to know

"Yes! That pose is magnificent." I held Caleb's head tighter and raised my left leg just near his waist. I could feel a slight touch of his nose on my neck as we pose a much more intimate picture.A few more clicks before Mrs. Kim ended our morning shoot. "It's a wrap everyone!"Mariel hurriedly went near me as I stepped backwards to give a little distance between me and Caleb. She then gave me a glass of water before handing my vitamins."We have three hours before the photoshoot resume miss Bella." I drank it before giving the glass back to her. "Should we eat something delicious?" "It depends to your diet miss Bella." Shrugging my shoulders, I sat down next to Caleb so that the make up artist could erase the colors that they put on my face. Mariel helped me wear my white dress before we bid our goodbye's to the crew for our lunch.We decided to eat in a five-star restaurant that was locate

SOFIA’S POV: “Maybe someone special? I noticed that your mood changed.” I stated. “Yeah…” Bella’s face was light and obviously happy. “Someone special.” She added. Not like earlier, our lunch became much more harmonious. Bella lifted up the mood and the girl who’s beside her named Mariel would also speak a few words to blend in. Compared to the toxic and chaotic time when I’m in showbiz, this lunch was more simple yet calm. It was more memorable. “It’s almost time, we should get going.” She stated. I lifted my head to see Bella’s beautiful face. I didn’t know why but every time I see her face, half of my heart would feel sad, yet there’s also an unknown feeling that would want to burst out of my chest. Whenever I hear her voice, my ears would feel tingle and a weird thing would tickle my stomach. I sighed. “Do you still have work to do?” “Miss Bella has a photoshoot together with sir Caleb later, miss Sofia.” Mariel, the innocent looking girl beside her answered. Although I wan

The moment I finished wearing my clothes, I turned my back to get my phone on bed but the sight of a big man made me froze.His grey eyes scanned my body from head to foot. He was still wearing his clothes from earlier but his looks was more messy. Did he saw me earlier? Why didn't I realize that he was here? Gosh!

It has been a week since Black began to come in my hotel room to sleep every night. Nothing happened, we just shared the bed in a literal way. "The magazine for this month will be released soon miss Bella, the company planned to have a field trip at C city next week." Mariel stated as she placed the bag on the table.I sat on the sofa and crossed my legs, trying to rest for awhile after the shoot earlier. "Is it fine if I don't join?""The boss specifically said that you should be there."Sipping a glass of water, I looked at her tired face. "So they will postpone the shoot just to have a field trip?""It's more like a team building I guess. It was Yenna's suggestion, the one who organized the models wardrobes and the boss agreed.""Instead of a trip, why can't we just rest?"She shook her head. "It might take four days to one week. They said that it'll not be too exhausting and we will definitely enjoy o

"I will wash the dishes." The table was already clean after I finished washing the dishes. It was untill 9 PM that I decided to lay on bed, far away from him who was reading a book. As I stared at him, I was mesmerized by his hot and seductive look. His eyeglasses was adding his attractiveness and the way he flipped the pages were so eye-catching. Even the tip of his fingers can be considered as an outstanding quality of one of the most popular man in the world, it was enchanting to even witness.'I'll be going now'A sudden glimpse of realization hit me. The fact that those four words were the one I despise the most till now, it saddened me slightly. The picture of his loving eyes was carved in my heart for so long... so long that it was slowly fading away.

"What do you mean?" Nervousness creeped inside my heart as his deep grey eyes flashed a sudden conflict emotion. His mischievous smile was plastered on his slightly wet lips. "Princess..." He whispered with his fingers crawling down my waist. "Believe me, I'm obsessed with someone you definitely know." "W-who?" His baritone voice sent shiver down my spine. "You...My love..." "What the hell are you -------hmp!" The warmth in his body embraced mine as our lips touches. Huge voltage of electricity traveled from my fingertips down to my toes, as if my whole body was experiencing a short circuit in an instant. For a moment, my brain stopped functioning. When his kisses crawled down to my neck, the picture of Sofia who was crying in tears popped visibly before my eyes. I once hurt her innocent love, and I don't want to commit such mistakes once again, even if that person whom she love wasn't me anymore. I tried to push him away but I couldn't. "B-Black, stop it!

Her little hair and soft chuckles echoed inside the room as she slowly closed her eyes to sleep.“Sleep my dear Purple, mommy will look at you silently.” I whispered, slowly putting my little daughter on her crib. “What a beautiful girl you are.”It was just six months since I gave birth to our second child, a little girl named Purple D. De Villa. I was quite pissed when I realized that she looked like a girl version of her dad. A very beautiful and amazing one. She was in my womb for nine months but she still got her father’s features. Even Red looks like his dad as well. It was so unfair.“Love?/mommy!” Two familiar voices made me tilt my head.“Shhh… She just fell asleep.” My eyes were on them both.Red giggled. “Sorry mom.” Her voice was low.I lift

My thoughts began to get puzzled with questions as it became difficult for me to answer. Without realizing it, I became distant to my wife. Anxiety and depression embraced me, with doubts in my hands. Crap! I wished for my wife to be the happiest woman.

Right after my birthday, my grandparents died and so I ran away from home to at least ease the pain that I'm feeling. I didn't know why my feet brought me here, in an empty amusement park. And as I saw the little girl before my eyes, something intense kicked inside of me.I, the oldest child of the De Villa family received a huge amount of pressure and expectations within the business circle. I could only feel the peace and comfort whenever I'm near with my grandparents. But now that they're gone, my world feels empty.

When I woke up the next day, it was as if my whole body was tortured roughly last night. I looked at my side and saw the sleeping face of my handsome husband. My heart ached because of what he said and what he experienced because of my selfishness. I stared at him and began to caressed his face. Last night, I already told him everything that Sofia told me. He was so mad and well, jealous. He kept on telling me that I must distance myself with her and that he can forgive her but not forget what she did. Last night as well, I found out about his disruptive behavior disorder that pained me more. There was no cure, but we can at least treat his disorder properly to lessen the possibility of its attack.I chuckled when I felt his arms around my waist tightly. "Good morning love." I then kissed his lips. "How's your sleep?"He slowly opened his eyes and smiled. "Good morning too love. I slept well because you're beside me.""Really?"

“What’s this?” I asked back while raising my hand that’s holding the bottle of medicine. Yes Black! Answer me, what’s this? What’s behind your eyes? What’s the lie that you’ve been keeping?He walked near me as he wore his bathrobe. Black then grabbed the bottle of medicine from my hand before clenching his fist. “Why do you have this?”“Why?” My forehead narrowed. “Does it have anything to do with your lies again?” I met his grey eyes with my serious look. I want to know everything Black. I want you to spill the tea, every single detail. “Why are you silent? Answer me!”The room suddenly went silent for awhile. The cold wind from outside slowly embraced me through the open windows. He bended his knees down to level his face with mine as I’m sitting at the edge of the bed. I saw how some droplets of water from his hair traveled down to his jaw. His gazes were unusually serious with his intimidating look.I crossed my arms in front of my ch

“There you are.” A sudden voice woke me up from spacing out. Looking at the man who’s now next to me, a feeling of warmth erupted inside my chest.Tapping my fingers on the table, I giggled. “I thought you’ll never find me. The cafeteria is indeed crowded.” I noticed everyone’s eyes on us. Some are even whispering and murmuring something which was not hard for me to guess. “Let’s eat.”“Hmm… I’ll get you your friend chicken love.” He stated which made me looked away from him. The crowd went silent and their faces went shockingly surprised. Who would not be? If he just addressed a woman as ‘love?’I looked down and slowly nodded my head. He stood up and went to the counter, not bothering that everyone were tailing him with their deep and sticky stares. Maybe they were puzzled of why he’s treating a woman this way. Giving the fact that they didn’t know that I’m his legal wife who left him four years ago.Exploring my sight, the c

I’ll just finish my papers fast so we can have lunch later.”“Alright.” I sat on the couch and sipped my milk. I was in a trance for awhile that I didn’t even realize the time. Almost half of the milk in the cup got cold and I didn’t even notice it if it wasn’t for Black.He adjusted his suit and looked at his watch before walking towards me. With his grey mesmerizing eyes, he asked worriedly. “Did you not like the milk? Was it so sweet?”I immediately shook my head. “No, I was just thinking about something.” The bottle of medicine.He then bended his knees before me. “Should we eat lunch now?” “Hmm…” I forced a smile before g

I bit my lips when I realized something. Really Bella? You're just wearing a simple short and Black's shirt? Looking below, I'm also in my fluffy slippers with my bun hair."Young madam, we're here."
