"And what are you doing here?" Clara asked the moment she saw her sitting close to her. Even after they arrived from the hospital, she's still yet to accept that she truly loves her and came to her because she likes her."You should not be asking me that question Clara, I'm sure by the time we are done with this dinner. You will be in love with me and you will allow just me to come close to me from now henceforth." She said and Clara looked at her her face filled with disgust. She can't believe the guts she has, she always comes here to spew rubbish, and that irritates her to her guts."What are you doing?" Fred was the one who asked this time. He came here to eat his food only to find another cause of drama right here again."Well, I'm just sitting where I should have been sitting all this while." She said and picked up the fork to begin eating without waiting for anyone. Zara didn't have the strength for any drama so she touched him and shook her head."You don't have to worry about
Bella stood up and made their way to her room, she had just changed her mind and would not be saying the secret out here. Instead, she's going to wait till when the event will be held, so she can use the opportunity to disgrace and Zara to shame. There's no way Clara will allow her to continue being married to her son after going through so much humiliation. This is just the best form of punishment she can give to her.She picked up her phone and put a call through to one of the IT hackers she knew back then in college. He's going to be the one to help her with this."Hey, how are you?" She asked him as soon as the call got connected. "You are calling me today, what exactly do you need? This is unusual of you to do unless you need something of course, so I'm listening to you. What do you need?" he asked and Bella frowned her face. Of course, the guy was right about what he just said but, she couldn't care less about what he just said. As long as he helps her with what she wants."You
Daniel dropped the phone and was mad, he couldn't believe she planned on using and discarding him just like that. Well, he knew she was going to do something like this so he prepared for her. She seriously will not believe what is about to hit her.He made his way to his computer and quickly unlocked a file, he then forwarded the file to his phone and Bella's phone as well. He sat back on the chair with a smirk. Now she's going to come running to him for sure and he can't wait to treat her just the way she deserves. Bella stood by the window thinking of the next line of action, so she made her way to lay on the bed. Suddenly she heard a beep on her phone and checked to see who had messaged her. She saw it was from an unknown source and wondered what kind of message that might be, she just hoped it was not some virus trying to find its way into her phone. She clicked on the message and found it was an audio message, she frowned."What is this?" She asked herself and clicked on the mes
"You know exactly what I want, just make sure you are here to give me what I want. That's all, I will text you an address in the next few minutes. Be there by seven this evening or I'm going to send all of that evidence to your beloved man and trust me. You are not going to like any bit of it," He said and disconnected the call. She frowned as she dropped the phone from her ear."That foolish idiot, what the hell is wrong with him? If he thinks he has me wrapped around his fingers then he must be the most foolish person I have met in my life. This is only going to continue for a little while. I have to find a way to get rid of him as soon as possible." Bella said and walked into the bathroom to take a shower. She needs to take a bath to be able to get all of these terrible thoughts off her headThat evening, Bella dressed up and made their way to the place where he would be meeting with Daniel. It happens to be a reserved lounge, he's not going to ask her to sleep with him right away
Bella got home and met everyone at the table. It seems to be a late dinner tonight as everyone is still eating their food. She walked past them without saying any greetings at all, she's so angry and pissed right now that she doubts if she will be able to say anything right from her mouth."Bella!" Fred was the one that called and she didn't have any choice but to answer to him. "Is there something you want? I'm sure you are having a swell time with your wife here. That has nothing to do with me so I will just leave this place right now." Bella said and was about to walk out of the dining room but she was stopped again by Fred. "Well I don't know what's wrong with you but you seem to be in a bad mood this evening. I guess we will see tomorrow then, I just wanted to tell you that your mom and dad called and they want to know how you are doing. You should call them Bella, they are really worried about you." He said and she nodded her head. She doesn't like speaking to her parents, the
Bella fled the lounge angrily, her stiletto heels striking the marble flooring with every stride. It was a high sound that mingled with the distant wave of music coming from the main bar. And she could still feel the snake-like touch of Daniel on her skin, with his voice droning on in her head. “$1 million” he had said as if she was a bottomless pit of money and she would part with it without a second thought. Believing that Daniel was now irrelevant, at least for her, was difficult. She made a fist, nails digging into the skin below, and exited through the double doors into the cool muzzle of the evening. The street was calm and the noise of the traffic was limited to the fleeting presence of the few cars. Bella inhaled deeply, attempting to shake off all burdensome thoughts. But she still snapped back to the man who was inside and how somehow, he managed to coerce her entire life around him. “Not for long,” she muttered, only audible to her. Bella was about through with him. She ha
A peculiar sense of renewal filled her, though it intermingled with the dread of permanence. Daniel was gone. He was no longer in the position to hurt her, menace her, or disrupt her day-to-day existence. But at what price? She had crossed a line, one that could be unsaid but had been said. And that line weighed heavily on her. This was the first time in several days, sleep found her without effort. Beneath the eyelids of darkness- guilt had ceased to exist and there were no agonizing nightmares, pure fatigue devoid of images filled her instead. Time passed by, and at last, Bella’s life started feeling somewhat in control. Fred had no clue about any of it, and Linda had not mentioned Daniel again from the time of that awful night. Bella was in the clear, or so she believed. One evening, when she got back, she noticed an envelope addressed to her on the doorstep. She looked around, her heart racing as she moved her hand to grab it. There was no name, no return address, and no postmar
Bella shivered as the words echoed inside her head. She felt as though she was in a glass box, like a mouse in a maze with no way out. “So, how do we do this? How do we win?” Linda leaned in closer, a gleam that was both deadly and attractive in her eyes. “We play them out. Whoever it is, they have their eyes on you and are waiting for you to mess up. So, we flip the script. We make it so that they have to come for us.” Bella frowned for a moment, a flicker of paint looking optimistically within her. “How?” Linda put her glass down and a wicked grin appeared on her face. “We will bait them. We shall go within the waters. But to go fishing, we need a fish. Something or someone that would have to come out silencing all fears and complaints.” Bella’s pulse quickened as she understood Linda’s plan. “You mean… me. Do you think I should act as a decoy? No way” Linda simply agreed with her, although her grin was much wider now. “Exactly. But you will not be on your own. I will ensure we
