Her eyes were filled with unease as she escorted him out of the building. As the guy she was trying to lift coughed, she hurriedly asked her husband's assistant to take him in the car.
Luke didn't close the car door and waited for her to come and sit next to his boss. When she turned around when he was seated, he coughed nonstop. "Take him to the nearest hospital instantly," she ordered.
"But, ma'am, I'm afraid Mr. Kiel won't be able to make it," he replies nervously, Ezekiel glaring at him as Bella turns to him, "What do you mean by that? It's only a cough, "she said, but she was worried about him.
"It had happened to him previously, but he refused to let anybody send him to the hospital. He—he stayed at home for approximately a week, "he says," and I'm sure if that happens again, you'll need to be there to accompany him, "he adds.
She sluggishly gets into the car a
"Bella’s POV""Yes, I am."I was expecting him to say those words, but instead, a mischievous grin had formed on his lips."Why should I be jealous?" he wonders."I know that," I said as I exited the place. I knew he'd been following me all the way out of the restaurant, but I ignored him."Are you sure you don't want to eat with me?" That's what I heard him say."It doesn't concern you, so please stop bothering me," I explained. His fingers gripped my arm."What are you planning to do again this time?" I complained.
"What?!!!" She screamed. "I had no idea she had duplicate keys," he acknowledged solemnly. She picked up the pillow from the floor and placed it on her lap, pouting her lips and in deep thought. Ezekiel saw she was distressed and sat on the bed facing her, staring into her eyes. "What?" She's irritated this time; she disdains it when he looks at her like that, and she knows he never looks her in the eyes the way he looks Gillian in the eyes. "Stop looking at me! I'm not interested in you, "she stated flatly. Anastasia was exposed as the door was pushed open. Fortunately, Ezekiel was quick to act, cupping his wife's face with his hands, making Bella's pulse skip a beat. "What are you doing?!" she protested in a weak tone. "Mom is here," he said as he composed his grin for her. She realized he was attempting to deceive
"Are you trying to use it as an excuse to approach me?"Julia was expecting to hear that from him, but the man simply smiled and thanked her, as if he never knew how to be furious with anyone.She admits that this man's grin is somehow familiar to her and that she feels linked to him.When he unintentionally touched her hands while handing him the notebook, she felt an electric charge run through her body. She instantly snatched her hand away and warned, "Next time, be more careful with your belongings."She didn't wait for his response and turned around, waving her hand, without looking at him. When he saw her go away, he felt a twinge in his heart."Sir Matthew, you're going to be late," his driver said, and he nodded and entered."Why do I feel such chest ache and grief when I see her? But I didn't feel that when I talked to her an hour ago, "he thinks to himself."Sir, should
He had been observing every move she made from the time she stepped her feet inside his office. He could tell that her eyes were saying a lot of things that her mouth couldn’t say.He was expecting her to open her mouth to yell or complain at him after seeing Gillian seducing him, but he saw how her eyes narrowed and irritably turned around as if she was giving his secretary permission to do something malicious behind her back.Ezekiel couldn’t help how heartless his wife was for ignoring what she caught. That made him shout at his secretary to get out of his office. He has been confused lately since Gillian came back into his life.He resented Bella from the beginning, but ever since he married her, he has had an unexplainable desire to protect her from danger. However, he does not sense his wife's care for him, and she consistently makes him feel unimportant despite his gen
Luke noticed Mr. Wright leaning sluggishly on his chair, his arm on the armrest, and smiling in a daze, so he cleared his throat and knocked on the door.Ezekiel turned to face his assistant and said, "Come in." He entered the room, facing him, and placed the black paper bag on his desk.“Sir, Mrs. Wright told me to give this to you,” Luke informs him, taking a proper seat and peering inside the bag before returning his gaze to Luke, “I'm not a kid anymore, she doesn't need to worry about me,” he complains.“I mean, sir, Mrs. Wright—-your wife,” he clarifies.“You may leave,” he says to his assistant, he never expected that she will send him a coat to replace the coat he lent to her, he sighs saying, “at least you have a heart.”He's joyfully swaying the swivel with his foot on the ground. “Is she truly nice
Bella stepped on his foot hard, causing him to scream in pain, "ahhhhhhhhhhhh!" He jumps up and down while raising his knees. "What happened to you, Zeke?" Anastasia asks her son. She was concerned seeing his cheeks and ears getting crimson. He extends his legs and places them on the ground. "Nothing, mum," he replies nonchalantly as he walks into his room. Their gazes follow him as he goes, and they exchange glances and laughs. "What exactly did you do to him?" Anastasia inquires cheerfully about her daughter-in-law. "I'm simply teaching him a lesson," she replied with a smile. "Please don't be too harsh on my son. Even though he is distant, he still has a kind heart "Bella nods as she speaks to her in hushed tones. Ezekiel almost shrieked in agony as he shut the door. "That woman is making me lose my patience, but she’s quite strong. No wo
Bella got up early and went through her morning routines. While her husband slept comfortably in bed, she changed into a nude casual dress, a black coat, and black wedge heels. She walked to the kitchen to find Anastasia. "Mom," she said. Nobody answered when she called. She looked around their house but couldn't find anyone. Until she got to the fridge. She noticed a piece of paper with a message scribbled on it that said, "I didn't want to wake you awake, so I chose to leave you without your consent. I prepared breakfast for you two." Bella drank the glass of milk while biting into a bun and slung her handbag over her shoulder. She was hurrying along when she heard Ezekiel say, "Why are you leaving so early?" "I have a very important task to perform. Your breakfast has arrived. It was left by your mother, "she replied without looking at him, "Have
Chapter 57 – Coffee Bella had been gazing at the CCTV footage with her hands on her waist, scanning if there's anything strange before the incident, but the operator didn't know which day to begin repeating."Don't let anyone go. Please contact me right once if you discover anything "As she marched out of the room, she gave a firm command.She overheard them say, "Yes, ma'am.""Why are we making changes to our design when we've already been eliminated from the competition?" Stacy expresses her dissatisfaction with the other designers."Are you willing to admit that we did duplicate other people's designs?" Lucas confronted her directly."Remember that our names are also under La Bella's company, and we nee

Everything feels like a dream… A roller coaster ride that is full of excitement. It is still vivid in my memories of how I struggle to fight for my dream, I am thinking every night about how I could end this misery, and I don’t know what to do after I finish my studies since business isn’t my passion. I realized that I wouldn’t get this far if I stay in my comfort zone and live my life following the rules. I am glad that I have the courage to take a small step. And I didn’t realize that the small step I took would finally change my entire life… and brought me to you. As I walk to it, I have decided to leave the shadow that’s obstructing me to aim for my biggest dream. I attempted to escape from the past but it keeps on haunting me and fate accompanies me to you. I have known a lot of people in a vast strange country to my eyes but you are one of t
“I think I found out why she’s being frustrated,” Julia stated. “What is it about?” Julia whispers to her what she’s thinking about their friend, Bella came back and is quietly seated. They stand beside her and curiously stared at her, “Bella. Would you mind telling us how long you are dating Ezekiel?” Li Na questioned her. She cocked her head to her friend as she stared at her furiously, “why do you want to know?” “We just want to know how long are you guys dating since you got back together,” Julia puts her hands on her waist while Bella is fanning herself with her hand. “Exactly! Also, we wanted to know when will you two getting married because you guys are getting older. You should hurry,” Li Na added. “Precisely! If I didn’t lie two years ago to him, I’m sure till now he’s still not making an action to chase you,” Julia stated.
"At first, I didn’t believe in love at first sight but when I met you, I believe in everything even the pigs don’t actually fly." He chuckled, his hands were shaking while he was reading the vow in front of everyone. "Also, I don’t plan on getting married, but the moment you stepped into my life, my world spin around and my plans had magically changed as if God had given me an angel to lighten my worthless existence. Now that I have you in my life, I promise to hold your hand tightly even if a disaster comes to break us apart; I will continue to stand by you and defend you. I love you now, tomorrow, and every day, Li Na."Bella can’t help herself from crying after hearing his pledge, as if she’s the one getting married at that moment. Her ex-spouse offers her a tissue. Her ex-husband hands her a tissue. She took it and turned around, brushing her tears away as the priest asked the pair to kiss.They gathered at
Julia joyfully rushed to the door to see Bella, but she was shocked and her grin vanished when she saw Amanda and Ezekiel being very sweet and laughing with each other. She shifted her gaze across the road and saw Bella Chen, who had just gotten out of her vehicle. Her grin returned as she saw her friend turning back and preparing to flee. "BELLA!!!" She shouted aloud her name, causing the two to turn around and gaze behind them.She is wearing a white shirt beneath her long-sleeved sky blue coat, which is paired with a sky blue mini-skirt, and flat shoes. Her foot is still bandaged, and her curly hair is disheveled as if she brushed it with her finger.
"Callista?!!" Felicity and the models called out her name, seeing her prostrated on the ground. Her barefoot were badly injured and bleeding. They rushed up to the distraught designer, who was sobbing uncontrollably. Ezekiel's staff and brother saw how he abandoned her on the side of the road. Matthew saw how hurt she was just like his brother years ago when he was forced to sign the divorce papers. He witnessed how Ezekiel was wasted, intoxicated, and tormented. It was the most heartbreaking incident that her colleagues witnessed. She was always happy, reserved, and mysterious when they were in France, but when she stepped off the plane in New York, she became unstable and emotional. "What happened to you? How did you get the wound on your left foot?" Felicity worriedly asked. "And where are your shoes?" Zoe wondered. Her tears streamed down her cheeks in torrents. Her body shook unsteadily
The Paris Fashion models, together with their most prestigious designer, have arrived at the venue and are preparing all the things they need for the fashion show. While Felicity is talking with the system and lighting technician, Ezekiel and his team have also arrived. They are invited to watch the fashion show."Mr. Wright, we’ve met again," When Felicity greets him, he nods at her. He had no idea why she greeted him till he remembered that they had already met before at the hotel.Some of the visitors invited to the event are the reporters. They are sitting in the front row while the audience is sitting at the bottom, and others are standing, like Ezekiel, who was observing from the corner. "I can’t wait to see Miss Callista," he heard the teenager say as they wen
Felicity seemed to notice Callista being silent the whole journey all the way to the hotel. "How are you feeling, Callista?" She inquires."I'm... alright," she simply replied.Felicity gave the medicine to her when they reached their room. "You have to take it wherever you go.""Thank you," she accepted the medicine. She laid down her body on the bed, trying to go back to sleep, but her mind was in trouble. Her thoughts keep on thinking about him and keep on asking herself how he is doing now, turning her body back and forth, but her eyes are wide awake while everybody is already asleep. She turns on the music playlist on her phone as she plugs an earphone into her ears. She listened to the songs till her eyes got tired and closed on their own."Ezekiel! I’m sorry for leaving you before. I realized that I love you after a long time of being separated from you. Can you give me a chance to b
The W Design Studio has received a new project from an international client, which will be hosted in New York City. Their client requested a fashion stage four feet wide and two-thirds the length of the space. They also went through the specifics with them. Ezekiel intended to delegate the project to his employees, but when he heard that Callista would be the one to utilize the venue, he took on the task himself. They have given months to finish the project and the customer will notify them when they arrive in NYC and use it. He also offered a sound and light system to their package even though it is not included. The studio had been very busy doing the project. Ezekiel wanted it to be perfect to impress their customer and make it more suitable for the designer’s idea because he is also a fan of Callista and wanted to have a short conversation with the designer.
