"Bella’s POV"
Why did he bring me here? Did he want to boast about his romantic life in front of me? I needed to relax and pretend I didn't care about him.
I almost fall out of my chair when he yelled at… Gillian? she ran out anxiously when he yelled at her. He gave me a stern look.
"Why are you gazing at me for?" I asked.
"Where did you go yesterday?" he inquired gravely.
I furrowed my brows and flipped my gaze to the other, "Why are you monitoring me?"
"I am asking you," his tone is strong.
"I’m not your employee anymore and you can't boss me around," I folded my arms irritably.
"But I'm concerned about your safety; so, tell me, who is the man you met yesterday?" I lifted my left brow and looked at him. "Are you following me?!?" I exclaimed.
"I'm not," he s
"Gillian’s POV"I can’t believe that he let me eat alone just because he was saving Bella! I will not let her take away the man I love. I will not let her be so close to him. I need to make a plan to make him stay with me and choose me.I came closer to the glass window and stared at my reflection. I shouldn’t be treated as a second option. I went out, bringing the tray into the pantry, washing it carefully. I glanced at my back when I saw a shadow coming in. There she went!It was Rosie. I smirk and continue washing the dishes. Try to mock me again and you’ll see.I observed she quietly made a cup of coffee and turned around as if she didn’t see me."Hey, what’s wrong with you?" I grabbed her arm to stop her. She looked at me and faced me."You’re here! I didn’t see you," she acted surprised.
"Bella’s POV"I got up early to avoid Ezekiel after last night. He forced me to tumble to the ground. I felt both ashamed and enraged at him. I gently placed my feet on the floor and turned around to see whether he was still sleeping peacefully, but he wasn't there. What happened to him?I searched the entire area, but he was nowhere to be seen. My gaze was drawn to the food on the table. Is he still preparing this for me? But where has the note gone? I looked underneath the plate and glassbut there was none.I am mad at him for not saving me yesterday, but I don’t know why I still expect him to be there for me whenever I need him.I ate the food he prepared because I was really hungry. I hadn’t eaten last night. I received a call from my mother-in-law."Hello, mom?""Bella, what did you prepare for Ezekiel today?" she asked.
"Bella’s POV"My heart is eaten by hatred, sorrow, and anger.It was already dark when the car broke down due to a long drive and too much heat. There are no signs of stars above and it is surrounded by total darkness. Leaning my body on my seat, watching the rainfall heavier as I let my tears continue to flow, I cried out loud and mourned till I released all the pain I felt, but it seems that the more I cry the more it hurts.It is a never-ending pain...My phone is ringing constantly. I'm out ofenergy to accept anyone's phone calls, and I don't like to talk to anyone. I just let it ring till they got tired of calling me, but they didn't want to stop, so I turned off my phone.I stayed in the car while it rained. Water from my soaked clothing was trickling on the floor. I was hugging my body to keep myself warm from the frost. After becoming tired of sobbing, my e
"Divorce agreement," he uttered, glancing at his assistant and smirking. He seemed to not understand the meaning of the phrase. His mind was blocking him from interpreting it."It’s just a divorce agreement –" he paused when he realized the meaning of it. He gripped the paper tightly, making it crumple."Sir... She’s asking me to tell you to sign it immediately, "he commented nervously.He threw his tantalizing eyes at him and exclaimed, "Do you think I will sign this agreement?" He steps forward to him while Luke is stepping backward. Ezekiel passes by him and instructs him to follow him."She can’t do this to me, she can’t easily be freed from my grasp, she does not have the right to do this to me," he said to his mind.He was seated in the passenger seat, uncomfortably. His jaw was clenched and his lips were pursed. He didn't say anything. His gaz
The sun was setting down in the west while the sky was slowly being eaten by the darkness. The only light that gave the bright was the light coming from the moon, and the wind blew harder as it touched her body, making her feel chilled. She was sprawled on the floor, her head bloated with blood. She felt a hot liquid on her head that was spilling on the ground and touches it while looking down at her palm."Blood?!" she blurted out, a tear welled up in her eyes and escape from it, rolling at the corner of her eyes down to her ear. She can't believe it happened to her, her eyes observed the surroundings, she saw a white tall abandoned building her but its color is fading due to a dirt stain covered on it, her head feels like tearing into pieces, her body is very weak that she can’t even move any parts of her while she slowly losing her senses when she perceives a girl wearing a school uniform with a group of men but she can’t recognize any of their fa
Mr. Wright had been awake for several nights since Bella had departed, but his condition was worsening by the night. He'd been fighting with himself as his senses faded and a tragic scene he'd seen in his dreams became more serious and deeper. He couldn't remain awake once he'd fallen asleep.His intellect is in turmoil, while his heart is in agony. He's been reading books in the work area throughout the night and lingering in the living room in the morning while waiting for his wife to return."Sir, where will I send you?" he heard his assistant ask as he was sitting in the passenger seat inside the car."Send me to La Bella building," he replied, Luke turned to him and said, "but I heard that you are banned from coming to the firm."He glanced at him and his jaw clenched, "Who said that?""I heard that your wife instructed their security to not let you in," he explained.
"Hey, dude! Don’t you have a plan tonight?" Matthew inquires while reading a book."Why are you asking?" Zachary replied. He’s leaning on the counter stool while filling up a glass of wine."You used to go out and have fun with your girls," he stated, glancing at his brother and glancing back at the book he was holding."Oh."Matthew smirked at him, "what ‘oh’?""I don’t feel like going out," he sounds bored, swirling the wine in the glass before he sips it."How come that a Casanova suddenly becomes bored in a bar?" he interrogates.He walked to him, sat next to his brother, crossed his legs, and replied, "I’m not a Casanova, I am friendly."Matthew stood up, tapping his brother’s shoulder. "You should not dilly dally or else she might steal from someone else," he advised bef
Li Na and Julia are awakened by the sound coming from one of their phones. Li Na moves her hand trying to answer her phone while her eyes are still closed. She reaches it somewhere. Placing it on her ear, before she could ask the caller, it shouted at her, saying, "Li Na! How did I end up going home?!!"She was upset when she heard that because she could still remember that they slept in the private room and no one went back home, "I don’t know. As far as I remember, we slept here together in the

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.
