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

Damien's POVNever in my wildest dream have I ever imagined life to be this sorrowful for me and depressing. I feel like a real loser for once in a while.

I beat myself up for whatever failure I get.Zayden knows this about me. I was always the guy with the grade A in mid-school but the year Zayden took A, I almost stopped being friends with him.

Tessa's POV"Zayden is married?" I open my mouth in disbelief. I can't believe he eventually married that low-life girl. I thought something will happen and he will realize she is not his type of girl but the message before me proves otherwise. "Congratulations, Zayden is married to Belle Gomez", it reads.Damien sent me the message. He has been calling me for half an hour now but I did not pick up his calls. 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. I haven't gotten over all that happen

Belle's POVNow I know how heartless Zayden is. He isn't even considering my condition. I know he is cold and arrogant but I never knew he is also heartless.

I just can't wait to get the baby out so I can get my life back.His mother came visiting and she asked me to take good care of her son. She advised me to be patient with him but I am losing my patience. Zayden is a wicked soul and I can't take it anymore. I thought starting up a conversation with him today will be a great way to kickstart a new chapter of our lives. I asked the maids to retire to bed early, giving me a chance to make his meals. I am disappointed and I doubt if I can take this anymore. I don't think I can stick to the promise I made to his mother if he continues behaving this way.I stand waiting, lost in thought till he finished taking his bath. When he comes out of the bat

Belle's POVI have two fathers? How is that even possible? How can I have two fathers? One of them has to be my biological father.I couldn't wait for the next day to get my answers so I went out to the car after leaving Zayden in his room. I am fucking pissed at him. I was already in my pajamas when he arrived and I didn't bother to go change before coming here. Mother is in a straight skirt with a maroon peplum top. I sit with numbness staring at her but her sob jerks me out of my reverie. A tear trickles down her eyes and I find myself unable to ask her why I have two fathers. My head is blank and I can't seem to find an answer to the question myself. Instead of answers, more questions were arising. Is it possible for two men to father a child? Was my mother cheating on my father? Was she dishonest with him? How did she end up with two men in her life?I am looking into space with more questions coming up, making it difficult for me to reach any conclusion. I believe my mother

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. I love my life now and I am hoping it will last forever."Are you sure?" He bites my earlobe softly, with his hands on my chest. "Zayden?" I take his hands off an

I realize Lily only has my eyes but she has a striking resemblance with her mother.Belle and I had gone out this morning to visit Tony and I wanted Lily and her nanny to come with us but Belle protested. Tony was surprised to see us but he invited us in anyway. I have no idea why I followed Belle until I got there. Tony was truly hurt and I realized a man like that can do anything.I apologized to him for my behavior the other day and explained things to Tony. I didn't want him to see Belle as a bad woman so I told him I was the one who gave her the right to date other men while we were married. It was after she began to go out with him that it dawned on me that I might lose Belle to him and I didn't want it because I loved her and I had refused to admit it to myself

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,

You need to stay here and wait for us to be back", I peck her forehead."No, I want to go with you to see my baby", she begins to cry again and I sigh.

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?" I ask her with my hands on my waist."I heard gunshots in the early hours of this morning and came out to check if all the doors are closed when I saw two men dragging Tania out with the baby. They had her mout

Tessa's POVI don't know how I got here and what happened. I groan and sit upright to find myself in a hospital bed. My mother is right beside me, dozing off. What the hell happened? I look around.Was I able to achieve my aim? The last thing I can remember is that I was on my way to Zayden's mansion. What happened afterward? Why am I here?My mother opens her eyes and smiles weakly before holding my hand."What happened? Why am I here?" I ask her? I can't be trapped here, I need to go and do what I intend to do before it's too late. I need to go there before Damien.

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

Zayden wouldn't allow his father in and the man left dejectedly. I pitied him.We began to pack after he left so we could leave the hospital. By the time we were done, it was already 7 pm. Zayden's mother gave me a sweet hug and my face broke into a smile."Thank you", she whispered into my ears. 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

My eyes are closed, my limbs are cold, my feet are stiff and my lips are tightly closed together. Where am I?Then I hear words that sound like whispers.
