“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

    Richard received the glass Bella handed back to him and put it down on the nightstand before moving to adjust the duvet to cover her legs properly. “Are you hungry?” Richard asked, meeting her gaze. “Your dinner is in the warmer. Do you want me to serve them to you now?”Once again, Bella slowly nodded. She was famished all thanks to Gerald. As much as she wanted to know what was done to him, she wanted to spend time recovering from the fright he had given her, plus enjoy these quiet moments with Richard.Watching his gaze carefully, she couldn’t begin to imagine what he might have gone through while searching for her, knowing that his wife-to-be had been kidnapped.Bella felt pity for him.Richard quickly heated the food and served them on a plate. He didn’t let her take the spoon by herself. He insisted on feeding her and while it lasted, he did not say a word.“Do you want to sleep now?” He asked, trying to tuck her in. “I don’t want your eyes to be puffy from staying awak

    “Are you telling me that you are going to have my son locked up in a foreign land?” Georgia asked, raising a quizzical brow.She was about to lose her mind trying to talk sense him into him already. If it wasn’t because she wanted to try the method of speaking calmly to see if it would work, she would have already wrecked a bit of havoc by now.Hearing her question, Richard leaned in. Facing her squarely, he asked, “Do you want him to be transferred to LA instead of staying locked up in a foreign land?”“Are you going to set him free in LA?” Georgia inquired. She wanted to make sure she was making the right deal.Richard frowned as he stuffed his hands inside his pants pocket. “Don’t be ridiculous Georgia,” he said. “Gerald is facing the law this time around. Just focus on getting him a good lawyer because I don’t plan to let him off.”Seeing her mouth agape in shock as anger quickly rose from her eyes, he sent her a flying wink and turned his back to her.Almost immediately, sh

    “Here comes the bride!” The MC announced with the microphone. Immediately, the guests rose to their feet with smiles on their lips.Heads turned towards Bella’s direction where she stood in her beautiful lacy white wedding dress. Her father took her arms as her gaze pointed at the tall handsome man standing at the other end of aisle.The way he watched with a proud smile on his lips spoke volume of how much he adored her.They couldn’t take their eyes off each other.As soon as the wedding song began to play, Bella hooked her arm around her father’s and let him walk her down the aisle.A minute later, Mr. Smith handed Bella to Richard at the altar and said to him, “Please, take care of her and Isla the way you’ve been doing.”Mr. Smith understood that people change, especially after getting what they want. Richard has been doing a good job with loving and caring for Bella and her daughter since after that accident, and he didn’t want that change after they got married.He wan

    “I haven’t seen Georgia all day. Do you know where she might be?” Mrs. Cooper inquired. This was Bella and Richard’s wedding reception yet she hadn’t sighted her daughter for once. She didn’t like that attitude.Richard sipped dome champagne from his glass and looked everywhere but at his mother. “I don’t know,” he said, trailing off. “She might have had a lot to drink last night at the party and hence might have chosen to sleep in today. Let’s not disturb her.”As Richard answered that question, he cast his gaze on his mother who looked a bit worried.“How can she be missing from your wedding ceremony and the reception when she is present? If she wasn’t sure about showing up, why did she come all the way to Italy?”Old Mrs. Cooper just couldn’t understand this particular child of hers. Georgia was her first fruit yet the woman acted like she was some leftover junk. Richard reached out to circle an arm around her shoulder and led her towards the table while speaking to her. “H

    “You don’t know what I’m thinking right now?” Richard lifted a brow at her like he couldn’t believe her.Bella feigned complete ignorance and stood by her words. “I really do not know what you are thinking about. I’m not in your head, remember?” “I see…” He drawled. Leaning over, he whispered while taking her hand, “Permit me to show you then.”“Can’t you say it without showing me?” Bella half-shouted as she got whisked away. “You might tell me that you didn’t hear clearly,” he said in defence.Just like that, he dragged her into a private sitting area where she had rested for a bit before the wedding reception.“What if there is a CCTV camera here?” Bella asked, looking sceptical. Richard gave her a side glance. “I thought you didn’t know what I was thinking about?”Caught in the act, she turned her gaze away. “Well, I’m just trying to take precautious measures.”“Come here,” Richard quickly reached out to pull her down with him on the sofa. He glanced at the tiny buttons t

    “What?” Georgia looked shocked as she stared at him in disbelief. “What did you just say?” she asked again. “I ruin other people’s happiness?”Richard stuffed his hands inside the front pockets of his pants and stepped closer. He maintained eye contact with her as he replied, “Am I wrong?”Georgia felt a tremor wreck her lower lips while meeting his gaze. She was beyond speechless. “You should actually find the time to sit and evaluate your entire life to see how many people you have made unhappy, and that includes yourself. When you are done, you can then choose to conclude if what I said about you was wrong.”Richard clearly stated facts without batting an eye. He didn’t mind that this older sister of his was capable of birthing him, he only wanted to speak to her from his conscience, just the way it was. “Perhaps…” Georgia looked like she wanted to say something but in the end, she glared at him before turning to walk away.Richard shrugged and walked off as well. He had a

    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

    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

    “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

    How was Bella supposed to answer the question she hasn’t confirmed yet?Mrs. Cooper couldn’t understand the thoughts running in her head as they continued to stare at each other, but she could see the signs, so she raised her brows, prompting Bella to answer.“I think so, but I haven’t confirmed it yet.”She and Richard started trying for a child in December and if she was pregnant, the signs and changes to her body would have started by now, especially depending on the date it happened.“That’s good news then! I shall help you get some pregnancy test kits,” Mrs. Cooper announced and sat down next to her, taking her hand gently with her eyes filled with gratefulness.“Please don’t mention any of this to Richard. I only want to break the news to him when it’s been confirmed. I don’t want to raise his hopes high and then flop it if the result turns out to be negative.”Even though Bella was still mad at him for no reason, she cared about his mental health and wouldn’t like for him

    Bella stared at him wide-eyed. “You...”“Shhhh.” He shushed her. “If you don’t want us to get caught, don’t scream,” he said and continued to use his fingers to tease her down there.Bella whimpered. How was she expected to keep her mouth shut when he was doing those things to her?She wasn’t a tree but a real woman whose hormones and neurons were functioning properly.Unless she covered her mouth, she wouldn’t be able to hold back her moans, so she covered her mouth to stifle the sounds.She would have suggested for them to draw the curtains, but that would even attract more attention as everyone would know what they were up to.Fortunately, Richard didn’t torture her for a long time before letting her go.
