Evelyn's POVI catch Mr. Adams staring at me as the driver increases his speed. I smile shyly and look away. He is sitting beside me in his black suit. He looks good and I told him earlier about his looks. I am wearing an Asym off-shoulder party silk gown. I didn't have any work today because of the event but I lied to Belle that I was going to work because I didn't want her to know I was going out with her friend's father. Pamela doesn't know either, which is why I didn't tell Belle.I left home with a bag where I kept my dress and heels including the makeup I will be using. I was glad when Pamela asked me to help with her makeover, she said she was going on a date with her boyfriend. I was glad because she won't see me going out with her father.After she left, I quickly got dressed and we left in his car.He clears his throat and I glance at him with a smile again. "I have a sort of confession to make", he utters, without a smile and I wonder what he wants to tell me. My heart is

Zayden's POVSaying I am happy sounds like an understatement. I am over the moon and I feel fulfilled. Even though I know my father will think I won because of him and Julian, I am going to prove them wrong. Their help didn't take me anywhere. Justine prevailed. I won and Damien lost.After presenting my speech and appreciation to the people who stood by me, I was given another standing ovation. I didn't mention my father and I did that on purpose. I only mentioned the one absent person but I was sure she was watching my success from home.My mother! She stood by me, she sacrificed a lot for me to be where I am today.Even without her legs, she supported me and gave me strength. When I want to give up, she is the one I always run to, she gives me a shoulder to lean on and she keeps telling me my success is close at hand. Here I am, the richest billionaire in New York.I wanted to acknowledge Daisy-Belle too for telling me to believe in myself when I thought I was not going to be th

Tessa's POVI am a strong woman and I won't let anything break me down, not even Zayden. After crying for a while at home, I decided to come to see things for myself and here I am. I reapplied my makeup and asked the driver to drive me to the party with Zoe who was looking at me with pity. I don't need any pity. Zayden has just trampled upon me and I am going to deal with the idiot, I no longer care if he is the man I love or not.I am no longer here in the event because of Zayden, he is no longer the reason why I am here. I am here to satisfy my curiosity, I want to see the girl Zayden brought to the party in place of me. I want to see the person that took my place. I want to see how worthy she is. I want to see who she is and what she is.That will determine my next line of action.I ask the driver to drop me off at a little distance away from the entrance and I take bold steps out of the car when it comes to a stop. I didn't wait for Zoe before walking to the back of the hall. I

Belle's POVAfter Zayden left, I sit quietly taking into consideration the warnings he pointed out to me on our way here. I don't want to get on his bad side and get him angry on a day like this. I want to stay put and wait till he is back, hoping the meeting with his father won't turn out bad.There are few people left in the hall now and everyone seems to be chatting with other people. The people on the dance floor have stopped dancing and the music is off. I can see some people going to the buffet to get their food. My stomach rumbles at the instant and I shut my eyes to ward my hunger off. I can't eat without Zayden here. I feel unprotected without him here and I feel everyone seems to be looking at me, those I know and even those that I don't know.They must be wondering what the billionaire's bride is doing all alone. I am hoping Zayden will be back soon because of how awkward I am sitting and looking around. Despite my hunger, I still stay put. I am willing to wait for him to

Tessa's POVMy replacement is a beauty to behold. But she is nowhere as beautiful as I am, I know this. I can see the way she was staring at me with admiration when I first appeared in front of her before she replaced the admiration with a nonchalant attitude.She is nowhere as sophisticated as I am and that relieved me a bit. I thought Zayden will go for someone better than me in all ramifications, someone more sophisticated and classic but here she is, nobody.I can see how she is finding it difficult to ignore me like I don't exist, I can see how she is trying to sip her wine like the elite that she isn't, I can see how difficult she is trying to play along and I am glad that my presence is making her uncomfortable.It is quite obvious that she knows who I am already and what I am to Zayden. Whether Zayden gets married to her will not change anything between us. Zayden will still be mine. I am sure he is getting married to her for a reason. I am trying hard to let go of the fact th

Me in my wedding dress, sitting in front of the mirror, admiring being a beautiful bride and patiently waiting for the time to go say yes to the man of my dreams. But this is the total opposite, I am admiring myself right now but I don't admire the type of life I am living.

He sent the message instead and I can't believe it.Is this a prank to make me pick his call? I ask myself but after waiting for some minutes for his call to come in and it didn't. Now I know the purpose of his call. He was calling to taunt me. To make a mockery of me by informing me of Zayden's marriage.I had no idea Zayden is married and I am still surprised by the news. How did Damien know when it is obvious that the wedding was a quiet one?Ever since the incident that happened on the award night, I have spent most of my time at home.

Belle's POV"Tessa Rodrigue has been sentenced to life imprisonment for the kidnap of the Billionaire's daughter, Lily Elizabeth Alvarez", the reporter states, and I heave a deep sigh. I feel a touch and I know instantly that it is Zayden."What are you thinking about?" He asks me after pecking my lips. He pulls me closer and puts off the television with the control. I am sitting in between his legs with his back on the headboard."Nothing", I whisper. I have just finished taking a bath and Zayden is also coming out of the bathroom. We have plans of going on a tour today. We are on a vacation to Paris and we are going to begin our tour today. We have been indoors for two days now, doing nothing other than playing games, cuddling in each other's arms, and having sex. Sex with Zayden is amazing and I love every moment of it.

Tessa's POV"Where the hell have you been?" my father burst into my room, startling me. I am sitting on the stool writing something down in my diary. I quickly close it and stand to face him."I've been indoors", I tell him."You've been indoors? I came here this morning but you were nowhere to be found." I am silent. I don't know what other excuse to give. It is apparent he won't believe me, I have been caught red-handed.He strolls close to me and slaps my face. "You shameless girl!" my mother burst in immediately with a gasp. She must have been outside, scared of coming in to intervene but my father's slap prompted her to come in.My cheeks hurt and I close my eyes to shut the pain. "Who is responsible for the bastard you are carrying?" he thunders. My head is bent and I can't even look up at him in the face to see the disappointment. I have never felt this much regret before, no matter how bad my actions are but I regret this one. I regret wanting to become pregnant for Zayden,

Please, Zayden", she sobs.I turn to face Tristan and he shakes his head."I promise we will be back soon", I kiss her lips and release her hand from mine before walking towards the car with Tristan, ignoring her cries. Natalie comes out immediately and helps her back inside with the help of Jodie."The presence of Tessa at your accident spot will ease everything, she is a suspect" Tristan informs me as we enter the car.

Zayden's POV"My baby!", Belle shouts as I enter the house. She runs out of the car before I can even park the car well in the driveway.I run after her and barge into the house. I just hope she won't hurt herself. I wonder where Tristan was when it happened.Who could it be? Is it Damien?I know Damien isn't the only enemy I have. He isn't the only person I am holding grudges against. Apart from Damien, Tessa is there also and my father. I remember Tony and I wonder if he is capable of doing this to get back at Belle for deceiving him.By the time I enter, Belle is already on the floor in the living room. We shouldn't have spent a week at my villa, we planned to spend just three days, if we had come back on time, maybe this wouldn't have happened."How did it happen, Natalie?"

Zayden's POVThis is all my fault, I pushed her into the arms of another man. I rejected what she was offering me, her heart and she went in search of someone who would take it gladly. I didn't realize the kind of pure heart Belle has until now, I didn't realize the kind of woman she is until now.Despite her broken heart, she kept pushing to gain entrance into my heart but I kept shoving her back, making her feel rejected and unwanted. This is all my fault but I don't know if I can survive losing her. She is the reason I survived this accident in the first place. I remember the man that pushed me, he kept telling me to go back to Belle.I know I am a bad person, if only I am good, I would have told Belle to go back to Tony and accept his proposal so they can be happy together but I am not good. I am selfish and I want to be selfish till the end, I can't let her go.I pull her to me in an embrace. "It's ok. Everything is ok and fine.""He broke up with me already, we are done", she s

That gesture alone lifted the veil of guilt I have been wearing ever since the night of the accident and I began to feel proud of myself. I don't need anyone to tell me about Zayden anymore, I believe I know him enough now and whatever is left, I am going to figure it out on my own.We have been acting like normal couples. He said he r
