A week before the time Bella and Richard would be flying out for their wedding, a piece of news broke out on the internet.As usual, ‘Scandalous Gossip Blog’ was the bearer of the news. “Hello, to my fans! I wish there was time to greet us properly unfortunately, a piece of heavy news just reached us.This news is from a reliable source. Apparently, Kareen Whore the husband snatcher got ripped off a lot of money from the business she started with Gerald’s money. She started a line of skin care products but out guilty conscience, she didn’t want us to know it belonged to her so she put it in her best friend's name so she could make sales.Unfortunately for her, her best friend Kira, just sold the business and ran away with the money she made from it.Fam, is this fair? What do you have to say concerning this?”Five minutes after the blog made that post, it received over two thousand likes and a thousand comments.Trust Gerald and Kareen’s enemies to use this opportunity to
On the first day after arriving for the wedding, everyone checked into their hotel rooms and had refreshments.That same night, Richard hosted a banquet for his wedding guests to properly meet them and that was when he got the shock of his life.What the fuck was Debby doing at his guest wedding banquet?Even Bella, her three friends and Matteo were shocked seeing her there.It was only when Richard and Bella got to her table that was when they understood the mystery behind her presence because they had clearly not invited her.“Hello, Mr. Rowland!” Richard shook hands with a white-haired man who seemed to be an important business partner. After hawking hands with him, he introduced Bella to him and the man took the cue to introduce Debby to them.“Meet, my fiancée, Deborah Clarkson,” he introduced with a perfect smile. As soon as Debby heard her name being mentioned, she smiled meaningfully and rose to her feet to shake both of Richard and Bella’s hands.Bella was so disgust
It actually took less than ten minutes for Richard to realize that Bella was missing. And immediately, he rallied everyone, including his security team for her search to begin.Meanwhile, Debby went back to her room and acted like she didn’t know what was happening fortunately for her, Richard was yet to involve his other guests about his missing bride, so she was still innocent as no questions had been posed to her yet.While Richard was trying to go through the CCTV cameras, Bella was blindfolded and locked up in a room with her mouth taped.Even after she regained consciousness, she couldn’t even see, speak or move about since her arms were tied to her feet as she lay sprawled on the floor. The only thing she was able to do was hear sounds. Bella didn’t know how long she was in that state with tears pulled up in her eyes before she finally heard the sound of the door opening before the approaching steps followed.So many thoughts went through her mind as she remembered seeing
Gerald was reaction was a complete testament that his relationship with Kareen was already on the verge of crashing down the valley. And seeing how vexed he was, Bella was not foolish to provoke him.She didn’t even know when everyone would realise she was taken away by him, or what he would do to her next.She was already traumatized from having to see his face let alone if he dared as much as to lay his hands on her.“You do know you talk a lot, right?” Gerald asked while peering into her eyes. He was suddenly irritated and ready to punish her however it deemed him fit.Bella did not answer that question instead she asked, “When do you plan to set me free?”“I think you must have misunderstood something,” he said as he sat back down on the bed. “I can’t remember ever mentioning anything about setting you free. It’s either you agree to go with me and peace will reign or we die together if you refuse to come with me.”Bella’s heart flipped like a pancake on fire when she heard h
“What is going on?” Debby asked them with a trace of panic in her eyes. It was now that she discovered what fear truly was.As much as Venita was not in the mood to talk to her, she still replied to her, but in a rude manner. “Bella is missing and the SWAT team is already on the lookout for her. I’m sure your presence must have jinxed today.”Because Bella was simply missing therefore Richard had to call the entire security team in the country to look for her.Debby didn’t even know if she should be scared at this point or furious knowing how much he cared for that woman and the extent he would go to protect her. Unfortunately, that shouldn’t be her priority now.With the presence of the expertise, Debby knew that there was no way Gerald wouldn’t be caught and if he was apprehended, she would be going down with him because she didn’t trust that he wouldn’t mention her name during the investigation.By the time they start asking him how he managed to sneak into the hotel and know
“I wonder what you plan to do next,” Bella said as she cocked her head to the side. Suddenly, it seemed like her confidence had returned in its entirety.Her gaze looked around the room, she deliberately slowed down so that Gerald could understand her point when she spoke next.“I’m sure that everyone must have realised that I’m missing. Knowing Richard and the connection he has, he would have by now, activated all resources to be on the lookout for me.” Giving him an eye roll, she continued. “Then you made the foolish mistake of hiding me under his nose. Where do you think is the first place he would start searching from?”She gave him food for thought so he would make a foolish mistake, but who knew he would remain adamant about it?“Do you think I plan to keep you here forever?” Gerald chuckled before throwing out his plan. “I plan to wait until midnight before taking you out.”“And don’t you think it’s a little too late for that?” She asked casually. Did he not think that with her
Bella’s escape was something she never expected to go smoothly. At one point while waiting for the elevator, she thought that Gerald would come out of the bathroom the next second and discover she was gone. It was all thanks to the fact that her eyes were open to see his plans that she seized her breath on time and squirmed under his hold before pretending to pass out. If it wasn’t for this quick thought-out plan, she didn’t even want to think about the worst possible outcome from Gerald’s plans for her.This time around, he hadn’t taken her unawares hence the reason she was able to put her plans in place and escape.As soon as the elevator doors opened, Bella jumped in and immediately shut the doors before inputting the floor number for the hotel lobby with shaky hands. She felt lucky that she didn’t need the room card to go to the floor where the lobby was located otherwise she would have been doomed.Would she have started to knock on people’s doors one after the other screa
How could Gerald be praying not to get caught when he was already trapped in the hotel?If he really didn’t want to put his entire life in danger, then he shouldn’t have thought of kidnapping Bella in the first place.Rushing out of the room, Gerald glanced at the CCTV camera in the hallway and quickly ran towards the elevator. The first one he stopped at was busy therefore he ran towards his left to use another one.As Gerald made a run for his life, the security team Richard hired were already coming after him.Through the security cam in the CCTV surveillance room, they watched him rush out of the room and head for the elevators which had cameras in them as well.Immediately, they used their walkie-talkie to communicate Gerald’s whereabouts and actions to the SWAT team.Even when he stopped at a certain floor and switched elevators, they saw everything and communicated it with the team.Just where on earth did Gerald think he was going to?---Bella was in a safe place.S
