It’s been two weeks since Bella and Richard found out they were pregnant.Richard’s excitement knew no bounds as he did everything beyond his power to ensure that Bella was comfortable getting over the horrible morning sickness.To think that thing was powerful enough to drive him out of their master bedroom for a week simply because Bella couldn’t stand the smell of his bathing soap.The man was forced to change it seeing that things were serious.How could he forgo cuddling his wife every night just because of his bathing soap?Richard literally employed a live-in nurse but was forced to sack her the very next day after Bella threatened his entire being.He was really scared of his wife this time around since her hormones were on the high side. Fortunately, he learnt to adjust quickly to the new situation. He wanted a baby with her, so this was the other side of it which he was very much willing to experience.Bella soon returned to work. On the first day, she slept all t
“Why did you take me back home?” Bella inquired as their car pulled up in the driveway.Richard threw her a glance before climbing out of the car. He managed to get her out and sighed in relief when Isla appeared.He let the little girl distract her until they got into the master bedroom before sending her away.“Bella, I’ve got some bad news to share,” He revealed as every fake emotion disappeared from his eyes.He looked a little sad and that scared the shit out of Bella. Plus he called her by her name.“Did anyone die?” She managed to ask as she felt her heart racing in her chest. She almost couldn’t breathe properly.Richard didn’t answer that question. He let out a deep sigh, confirming her fears.Bella quickly rose from the bed as her eyes turned red. Tears formed in her eyes as she stared down at him.“Who died?” She asked as a tremor wrecked her lower lips.A deeper sigh escaped from Richard’s lips as he rubbed his hands together. “Miriam got into an accident with you
Richard was not the only one carrying out the investigation. He had the help of his best friend, Matteo.“How is it possible for someone who has been hiding from the police for four months to suddenly jump out to drive into Bella’s car?” Matteo asked. Even he didn’t believe that was an accident.“I’m glad this matter is under both government and private investigations,” Richard said to him.A thought came to Matteo as he complained about what intentions Kareen might have had.“The police are still trying to investigate where that woman has been hiding.”The question was, how did Kareen survive for four months without being caught on any CCTV camera or stepping out to buy anything?The answer was right in front of both men. It was very obvious that she had help.“That woman had help,” Matteo suddenly said. “I think I know who it might be,” he added with a straight gaze on Richard.There was only one known person from their side Matteo thought would want to get rid of Bella.It
Seeing her true colours, Mr. Rowland was grateful to his children for beating the hell out of her some months back otherwise, he would never have thought about monitoring her movements.It was all thanks to them that the thought dropped in his head.He had indeed married himself a gold digger who spent his money on men younger than he was.It was only recently that he found out and when he planned to file for a divorce and chase her away, Richard came to him to ask for help, as his good business partner, he decided to return the favour.He pushed back his plans a bit to help him gather enough pieces of evidence.Richard literally had no idea that Mr. Rowland had already done the basics on how to catch Debby otherwise he wouldn’t be worried right now wherever he was that the investigation on Debby might take too long.“Go ahead and start eating,” Mr. Rowland instructed as he quickly averted his gaze.His eyes burned at the fact that he had been living with a criminal for almost
Bella didn’t know what to say or how to feel when she saw the news. While her friends were talking about it, she stood up and walked away.Instantly, the chatter died down as the three women exchanged glances before quickly following after her.“Bella, what is wrong? Can you speak to us?” Rosie asked as she soon matched her steps.“I just want to be left alone for an hour. Is that not okay?” She said without stopping in her steps.Venita and Caro glanced at each other before moving their gazes back to her.“Actually, that is not a bad request. A little bit of privacy is not much to ask for but you see, the fetus in your womb is still unstable and the doctor wants us to make sure you are never left by yourself.”To avoid her slipping into depression, her doctor had given them an instruction to follow.Even though Bella might seem to be in a better mental state now than when Miriam died, the child she was carrying was still in danger.Bella’s friends were worried that she woul
Isabella, pushed open the creaky door of the pub and was greeted by the lively hum of chatter and the smell of beer.She stood at the doorway in her sunflower-patterned dress and let her gaze wander from one table to another in search of her friends with an uncomfortable look on her face.Since she got married, she has only been to a place like that twice and that explained her current awkwardness.“Hey! Bella, over here!” Just then, she heard someone call her name and turned her gaze in the direction of the voice.Almost immediately, she spotted her friends in a cozy corner and weaved through the bustling crowd with a big smile on her friends.“Please, promise me we won’t have to meet here next time,” Isabella said as she took the seat one of her girlfriends pulled out for her.There were three of them sitting around the table with their faces flashing with a smile.“Oh… I see someone has grown accustomed to having dinners at fancy restaurants…” Rosie, the one with the wavy blond hai
“Gerald! Gerald!!” Isabella stormed into the house holding her phone and handbag in one hand. Coming into the living area, she looked around for the husband who clearly told her he wasn’t going anywhere.Just now, she saw his car parked in the driveway. It looked like he was either on his way out or had already gone out and returned.“Gerald!” There was a high-intensity pitch in Isabella’s tone as her heartbeats topped up by a few notches.It was hard to believe that this was the same woman who outrightly defended her husband in front of her friends, but here she was, shouting at the top of her lungs like some crude woman because she didn’t trust her husband one bit.Just then, her husband famous actor husband walked out of the room with a slight frown on his face. “What is it? Why are you screaming my name?”Isabella breathed heavily as she gave him the death stare. “What is the meaning of this?” she went straight to the ‘Scandalous Gossip Blog’s’ page on her phone and opened the pos
As Isabella stepped into the elevator of her company’s building, she adjusted the huge sunglasses covering more than half of her face.After literally crying all night, her eyes surrounded by dark circles were swollen, a clear sign of her lack of sleep.Isabella was still trying to get over Gerald’s response last night after she asked him to choose between his family and an outsider.“I’m sorry, I can’t give you an answer now,” was what he had responded with.The nerves!Her husband had answered her without thinking twice, and that made her begin to rethink their entire relationship.Isabella and Gerald’s union was not an arranged meeting, so how could a man who loved her for so long suddenly have a change of heart?She could remember all those years he told her that she was perfect for him. What happened now? Did he lose that part of his memory?Well, Gerald did not suddenly stop loving her. This was something that happened over time and she had failed to notice it still, she was ove
