Richard had rented a small castle for the four nights they would be spending in Scotland.As soon as they arrived, the butler and the housekeeper welcomed them in before having the maids take their bags to their rooms. Next, they gave them a quick tour of the castle while explaining the history.Little Isla was more excited about the traditional dishes scattered in the large dining area and wanted to try everything.Bella had her nanny join them at the table. “I took you away from your family this festive period, you should join us,” she said, refusing to let her eat at a different table.After dinner, Richard took Bella on a short walk around their neighbourhood, leaving Isla and her baby behind because a toddler can’t handle much stress after a long flight. At least, there were movies for her to watch.“It wouldn’t be bad retiring in a vicinity like this,” Bella spoke after a little woke. The environment was so beautiful, especially with the Christmas decorations all around,
Kareen’s best friend, Kira, laughed at her. “Don’t believe what men tell you. You should not be forgetting that although you are legally married to Gerald now, that doesn’t mean he will always tell you the truth.”“What do you mean?” Kareen didn’t look pleased, plus she was very much confused.“What I’m trying to tell you is that you shouldn’t forget in a hurry that your husband now deceived his wife. He can always do the same to you. Don't believe that Gerald has no money until he can prove it. For now, just look around the house for any document in his possession that can be used for your business loan collateral, or do you plan on using yours?”Kira refused to believe that Gerald had no money and now, it was her mission to help her best friend to milk him.As soon as Kareen got home, she started searching for anything that could prove that Gerald had any property in his name. This was a very good opportunity to make her investigations since he wasn’t home.On the other hand,
Kareen unknowingly declared war on herself by that caption she wrote under her post.Whether it was intentional or not, she incurred the wrath of Bella’s supporters by reminding them of her disgraceful acts of snatching Gerald. And again, people began to troll her.Citizen A: “You bitch! Since you want to trend, we will help you out by dragging your shameless stupid self to the trenches where you rightly belong!”Ciara_mama: “Who are you calling your husband? This woman has a problem with her brain. Did she sell it along with her senses?”KareenIsABitch: “It’s obvious that this woman wants some attention. Ever since she snatched Gerald for herself, she has been insecure about Bella’s progress and support team. Bitch! Why did you post an hour after Bella? It’s very obvious that you are stalking her.”Citizen B: “Get a life, you moron! No one wants to know whoever got you that cheapest branded bag! You can never be like Bella.”Annabelle: “Busy body! It’s obvious that you are thre
“Really? I had no idea that a part of him showed,” Bella seemed surprised learning that a part of Richard showed in one of those photos.She was kind of grateful that he wasn’t on social media otherwise, the keyboard warriors would have traced that image to him.“You don’t need to be bothered about it. I’m sure that your fans will understand your need for privacy and won’t bug you for clarification if you don’t want to. Just live your life the way you want,” Rosie said to her.After speaking with Rosie, Bella went to confess her sins to Richard. When he saw her face, his brows furrowed with concern. “Is something the matter?”“I think I might have made a terrible mistake,” she revealed before passing her phone to him. Richard’s reaction was epic when he finally understood what was happening. He wasn’t that bothered by her mistake except that he was concerned for their privacy given the things they talked about and were yet to sort out.“This isn’t so bad as much as I would love
“Are you okay?” Richard noticed something off about Bella on their walk back to the castle. At first, he thought he was misreading the atmosphere but when he realized how quiet she had been for a while now, his mind told him that something was wrong.Bella managed a smile. “I’m fine. I’m only a little tired.”Hearing that, Richard took her hands and squeezed them through the thick winter gloves. “Let’s take the carriage home then.”Minutes later, they arrived at the castle holding hands. “You know you can talk to me about anything and everything, right? I hate to see you bothered.”“Your company rubs me off all my troubles,” Bella said. How on earth could she tell him that she was beginning to doubt him and everything they shared?It would only be proof of how fickle her love for him was. It would be an indirect message to Richard that she was comparing what she had with Gerald with what she had with him.No man will be happy about that, but for Richard who loves her so much,
It was a new year and a new beginning and as most people were serious about implementing their New Year resolutions, the news of Bella’s promotion at work made the headlines.Blogs carried it, and trust her fans to hype everything up and spread the news to the ends of the earth.That goes to show how much they loved and supported her.Richard has finally passed his CEO position in his investment company onto Bella so he could focus on his other bigger company that needed his attention.He made this shocking announcement on 30th December, during their company’s dinner/Award night.Bella had not been prepared for this, so she was stunned and didn’t even stand up to climb the podium until someone nudged her shoulder.Climbing the stage finally made her realize that this was the stuff Richard was talking about weeks back. This was his secret surprise for her.Although she was going to miss seeing him at work daily, she was grateful for this big opportunity he trusted her with and s
Mrs. Fallon was stunned beyond words. She didn’t know that this brother of hers that she was capable of birthing would one day speak to her with all audacity.“How were you raised in that house, or did you learn to be rude from going to Harvard Business School?”“I know my right and I’m exercising it,” Richard retorted as he walked down the stairs. He was not afraid of anybody and that included his parents’ first child whom everybody in their family avoided.“Your being rude to me will not take me anywhere. No wonder you are still single and will forever remain single. How can you talk back to me?” Mrs. Fallon dragged as her pitch rose. Furious and without waiting for his response, she continued, “No woman likes a man who argues and looks for every opportunity to talk back.”“Georgia, you asked a question and I answered you. Would you have been happier if I chose to ignore you instead?”The second Richard asked that question, his sister hung up and threw her phone to the side.
Mrs. Georgia Fallon was not the only one mad about Bella’s promotion at work plus the massive support that was flooding in from the internet.There was Gerald who was mad as hell because his pride was hurt seeing his ex-wife achieving so much without him.After taking all his money through their divorce, instead of her being punished, everything was turning out for her good. How could he take that?But if that was the only thing happening around him, he might endure it, but with her crazy fans always coming under his comment section to bash him with each step she took drove him nuts.Unable to stay put, he was driven to make a post after which he locked his comment section.Gerald co-posted a photo of Kareen lying on his bare chest with a white duvet covering half of her naked back through her Instagram account with the caption, “Where home is...”As both Gerald and Kareen are good actors, they made sure to look so in love in that black and white photo they posted. With this,
