The worst part about Gerald's condition was the fact that he wasn't allowed to make any calls apart from the one to his lawyers.But how was he supposed to contact his lawyers and make them come when they were far back in LA?Gerald was almost about to lose his mind.It was the following day that Georgia was able to fly her lawyer down to Italy to take care of his mess, and also pay him a visit while at it.Seeing how lean her son was, Georgia asked, "Can you give me one honest reason why you would do something as foolish as this?"For a good minute, Gerald couldn't utter a word. He regretted his actions, but how could he spit those words out seeing what it had cost him?"You are not going to say anything?" Georgia inquired with sorrowed brows. Lowering her tone, she added, "If I had known that this was what you had in mind, I would never have offered to help you. I would have stopped you.""Maybe, you should have actually stopped me," Gerald said, finally lifting his head. "As a moth
Watching their interaction, Bella's parents felt peace as still as the storm within themselves.This was not their first time seeing the great relationship between those two, but it certainly felt amazing with the new title now.Richard carried Isla with one hand and held Bella's hand with the other and led them towards the dining area.They exchanged hugs and greetings with their families and friends before settling down.At the dining area, bursts of laughter and loud chattering went on for over an hour, even after the breakfast was over.Georgia was absent from this meeting. While others were busy catching up as a family, she got on the next flight back to LA.She didn't even bother to wait and hear about her son's fate before leaving.Bella heard from her friends that Debby helped to expose Gerald as her kidnapper and went to meet her even though she doesn't trust the woman for letting out the information of her whereabouts to Gerald in the first place."Thank you for your help in
While Bella and Richard were enjoying their honeymoon in Bali, the internet was blowing up thanks to the 'Scandalous Gossip Blog' that decided to throw a party with news of Gerald."It's violence time, everyone! News reaching us has it that Gerald is locked up in Italy and will be trialled to court in two days for the kidnapping he carried against his ex-wife Bella two days before her wedding to his rich handsome uncle, Richard Cooper.It was noted that Mr. Cooper, against his elder sister's pleading, refused to kill the case and has left the law to deal with Gerald.Also, currently, Kareen has been missing from their home in LA for three days now. According to one of the nannies who was willing to divulge the information, she left home and the kinds in their care on a Friday night and has since yet to return.Hehehe… It seems like Karma has finally hit some people who deserve it!Everyone, keep your eyes glued to my page, I will be returning with more gist as soon as I hear back from
Georgia stormed into Kareen’s bedroom and the first place she walked to was her dresser. She kept an eye out for her makeup items and skincare products and only saw a few things. Though that was not enough to determine what crazy mood she must have made, Georgia made a beeline for the closet and had the nanny open it.That place was a mess, but it was obvious from the empty hangers in the wardrobe that some clothes had been taken away.Georgia scoffed. Turning to the nannies, she asked, “Did you see Kareen leave with any bag on Friday?”The two nannies exchanged confused glances before shifting their gazes back to her. They shook their heads with slightly furrowed brows. “On that Friday late evening, she had us take the children on a walk in the nearby park and by the time we returned, we saw her about to drive out from the premises. She told us she was going to a party and to take care of the kids until she returned the following day.”Hearing this new information, Georgia
“Although Ms. Kareen packed her things with the intention to leave the house, it could be possible that she met with harm on the way, so we will still need to carry out further investigations.”Georgia looked one of them in the eye and said, “I have no problem with you doing your job, I only want you to be a little faster. I have to make sure that woman didn’t tamper with any of my son’s properties.”She didn’t think about the children who were abandoned by their mother rather, money was more important to her.She was majorly after Gerald’s things.Georgia spent twenty minutes more with the police before returning back to the apartment along with the nannies.“You two, take care of the children for one more night. I will come for them in the morning,” she said to the nannies. She didn’t bother seeing the kids before getting into her car and living with her driver.As soon as the car left the premises, she picked up her phone to call her lawyer who was currently still in Italy tr
Georgia had the right to think of the absolute worst as she has never liked or trusted Kareen and this was the reason she was taken every measure to find out what she had done.Less than a minute after she returned home, her lawyer called her. It was a video call which was even better because she needed to be seeing Gerald’s face while speaking to him.At the other end, Gerald didn’t even look interested in speaking to her since he felt that she abandoned him in a foreign country to go through the trial that awaited him.It was the little love he had left for her, plus the fact that his lawyer told him she had something urgent to ask him about.He reluctantly greeted his mother as soon as her face showed on the screen.“I trust you are doing so well,” Georgia asked seeing that he didn’t lose any more weight.“How well do you think I can do from this place?” Gerald asked with a big frown contouring his face.Georgia didn’t answer that question. She didn’t have all the time on he
Georgia still refused to believe that her son would ever have a special needs kid even though she had carried out. DNA tests between them in the past.Within her, she felt that somehow, a miracle would happen and the child would turn out not to belong to her son She promised that she wouldn’t even get mad at Kareen for it. The mess and shame that her son had brought her was one that she couldn’t easily write off. She didn’t even dare to lift her shoulders high anymore in the presence of her friends.“And I want the results available within twenty-four hours,” she stated. There was no time to waste after her reputation had already gone down the drain. All thanks to Gerald and the witch he married.The doctor had no choice but to listen to her commands. She had the money and the influence, plus she was his friend. He was willing to help out regardless of her constant disturbance.***Bella was lying on the beach chair in her two-piece bikini in the Maldives when Richard came up
The results from the DNA test Georgia had conducted on the two children are out. The boy certainly belonged to Gerald, but unfortunately, the same couldn’t be said for the months-old baby.The daughter Kareen had given birth to did not belong to Gerald, so the DNA results proved.When Georgia read the results over and over again up to five times, she almost lost her mind.She began to wonder what gave Kareen the mind to cheat outside and then go on to claim that the child from the affair she had outside belonged to her son.What on earth did Gerald do to deserve this level of embarrassment and betrayal?It was a good thing that she didn’t ask that question to others otherwise, they would have given her a piece of their mind.Gerald has done a lot to deserve whatever he is going through at the moment. This was just karma rewarding him for all his services with his due wages.Georgia left the hospital mad and on her way back home with the children and their new baby, she made u
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
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
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
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
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
Caro made a V-log at the end of their Switzerland Christmas trip and posted it on her page for all eyes to see.The majority of Bella’s fans knew she was her friend hence, some of them were already following her Instagram page since they got to see the fun side of Bella all thanks to her.So, while everyone was wondering what was up with Bella since the last time she posted on her page, they got notified about Caro’s latest V-Log and went to watch it.Two hours later, the video went viral as blogs reposted it. Everyone interested got to see how cute and interesting Bella and Richard’s marriage was. The side death glares from Bella and the grin on Richard’s face as he tried to pacify her after annoying the hell out of her.Richard’s playful side also got exposed to everyone, especially with the stunt he pulled after the group lost their way and ate ice cream before he called his bodyguards to come show them out.No one knew that millionaires could have this sense of humour.Of
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. Also, no one left their seat during the event.Several hours later, they touched down in Switzerland and two luxurious Mercedes vans came to pick them up from the airport along with four security cars that accompanied them.Everyone settled in the big mansion that Richard h
Venita and Caro giggled as they climbed the stairs to the private jet. They couldn’t believe they were going on such an expensive and interesting trip to celebrate Christmas.The flight attendants treated them like Royalties and showed them to their seats.Bella figured that the two friends would need to keep each other company during the flights, so she arranged for them to be given a space where she could join them for a chat as well.Richard finally managed to bring his father on the trip along with his doctor. The old man’s time was almost up and according to the doctor, he had only a few years left.Richard figured that he might actually help his father travel out to enjoy Christmas once even if he wasn’t in his best healthy state.Bella’s parents got onto the plane and were assigned seats before they were helped to secure their seatbelts.They were happy to enter their son-in-law’s private jet once again as their wedding had been the first time they ever got to experience
