Zayden's POV"Why didn't you call me? What if he was here to kill me?" I bark at Tristan. I no longer know the essence of having him around me when he isn't doing his work. He was supposed to inform me about Damien's presence in the company. He knew Damien was around but he chose to watch from afar without doing anything. What if Damien had shot me? I will be long dead before the police catch up with him.I am tense about Damien's arrival back in New York. I know he is here now for the worst. He meant what he said to me. I am not scared of facing him man to man but I am damn scared for my family, my mother, and Lily, even Belle. I don't want to lose any of them."I just thought it wasn't necessary since I didn't see him with any weapon", Tristan tells me."You think he was going to put the weapon on the car so the world will know he is coming here to kill me? Don't be daft", I yell.He didn't say anything and I go back to my seat. I wasn't supposed to say what I said last. Tristan

Belle's POVI feel someone holding onto my hand tightly. I open my eyes to see Tony watching me and Tania is behind me. I can see the concern and worry etched on their faces and I wonder what happened."Belle?" Tony calls when he notices I am awake. He let go of my hand and sits beside me on the bed. I wonder where I am and why I am here.I try to remember what happened and it occurs to me that I lost consciousness in the kitchen. I remember I was playing with Lily when I began to feel hungry. I disposed of the food Zayden insisted I ate last night. I took Lily to the kitchen where the maids were cooking and one of them took Lily from me. I was about to sit and wait till the food was ready when I slump to the floor.I sigh."Belle?" Tony calls again. He looks scared. How did he know I am here?"Tony?" I call and try to sit upright. He helps me up, resting my back on the spring bunk bed."How are you feeling?" He asks. Tania comes forward too and hugs me."I'm fine", I answer as Tania

Belle's POVThe ride home is silent. It is awkward with Tania inside with us, if it is only Zayden and me, it won't be this awkward because I am used to his silence when we are together. When the gate opens itself and Zayden drives in, I feel the sudden need to sleep. If we weren't home yet, I would have slept off in the car.He halts the car and comes out to open the door for Tania and me. I am beyond amazed but I keep my thoughts to myself. He is just being nice because I am not feeling too good, I am sure he will resume his stupid attitude very soon.Tania helps me out and we all move to the front door. All I want to do right now is to sleep but I want to see my daughter first. I am glad when she is brought to me the moment we enter. I take her and hug her to my body with a light smile on my face.Tania takes her from me and tells Zayden to follow me to the bedroom. "You need to sleep, dear. You look sleepy."I nod. I begin to walk to my bedroom and I can sense Zayden right behind

Tessa's POVDamien is back? I can't believe it. I am glad it will ease my plan to get my revenge on him. But I believe I can't do this alone. I want a partner and I don't know if Zoe will help and support me.I think I am obsessed with Zayden. As much as I want to deal with him too, I can't help but feel sympathy for him because I still love him and I don't want any harm to befall him. What then do I do now that he has no eyes for me and my heart keeps beating for a man that doesn't want me?If Damien hadn't betrayed him, I would have loved to have him as a substitute but I am deeply hurt by the betrayal. I even thought he was beginning to fall in love with me. I still haven't figured out how to deal with him. I got to know that his wife was Zayden's ex. There is a probability that he doesn't love her and he just wanted her because of Zayden, the same thing he did with me. Ruining his marriage won't do him any emotional damage.What do I do?I am still thinking when my phone rings.

Zayden's POVI pack my things, close the laptop, and put the important files inside the drawer before locking it. When I am done, I pick up the briefcase and go out. "Good night, sir", Chloe greets me."Goodnight, Chloe", I say in response before walking to the elevator. Changing is much easier for me than I expected it will be even though some things are quite difficult for me. I have been worried about Belle since noon and I am closing early just to go check up on her. By the time I was home yesterday, she was already asleep again and I asked Tania about her health. Tania says she is fine but I still don't feel ok with it. This morning, when I was coming to work, I went into her bedroom to see her sleeping too. I was worried that she was sleeping too much so I went back to Tania and asked her to dish out her food and wake her up to eat.To be honest, I thought maybe something happened to Belle during the night and I wanted to be rest assured that she is truly fine and alive with

Belle's POV"Who is he?" Tony asks me when he sees Zayden staring daggers at him. I wonder what is wrong with Zayden. He should let me go on a date freely. I am not his child."My grumpy brother", I answer and look away as he parks his car. I am lying too much these days but I don't care, as far as my secret is safe."He looks familiar, I think I have seen him somewhere before", he states.I guess he just saw him on TV. "Yeah", I only said."I remember now", he hits his hand on the wheels softly with a broad smile. "We bumped into each other at the hospital."I was wondering how they met until he told me and my eyes widens. At the hospital? That explains why Zayden was glaring at me at the hospital.I clear my throat. "Did you guys talk?""No, I didn't know he was your brother. I only apologized to him and left.""Alright", I am relieved. We sit in silence for a while before he advises me. "Call your mother and apologize, Belle.""No", I say stubbornly, remembering what happened earli

Aiden's POVI have no idea why I came home early today. Maybe it's because I want to know if Belle will be home today again or not. When I got home and was told that she was out, I became angry. Is this how she behaves anytime I am out? Is this how she goes out and comes back before I am back from work?I am thinking that is what she usually does until she arrives late. Then, I realize she just started with the outing and I am also feeling she is doing it on purpose. If she always goes out so I won't know, she would have been back since. This is 10 pm already. It shows she is doing this on purpose, she is doing it to show me that she is not scared of me. She is doing it to get back at me for bringing girls to the house too.I am not going to promise myself that I won't overreact tonight. This is getting too much. Is this how she will be going out every night and leaving our daughter with the maids? What then is the essence of harboring her in my house when the maids and nanny have

Zayden's POV"Shit!" I curse when I realize the damage I have done. While trying to become a better person, I am still exhibiting the signs of being a monster, just like my father. I can't believe I retaliated by slapping Belle back because she slapped me. I can't believe I have just raised my hand to beat the woman I call my wife and who gave me my first fruit. I know my mother will not forgive me if she gets to know this. I don't know if Belle can forgive me for this too and I doubt if I will be able to forgive myself.What have I done? Why can't I get a hold of my stupid anger? Why do I have to let it control me?I saw the look of hatred on Belle's face when she looked up at me with her hands on her cheeks. I really strike her hand and I can see her face turning red instantly. She dashed to her room as tears began to roll down her eyes. I followed but before I could enter, she locked the door.I stare at my big hands. I wish there is something I can do to rewind and stop myself f

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

Zayden's POVMy family is complete now and my joy knows no bounds. It is as if the kidnap never happened. Sometimes, I feel like spending the whole day watching Lily play, sleep or giggle, but I can't do that all day. 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,

Zayden's POV"I'm going with you, Zayden", Belle pulls my hand as Tristan and I get to the pavement. She kneels, begging me."No, Belle. 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. "I don't want them to kill my baby.""Belle.........""I want to come with you so I can beg them to let my baby go. 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. Tristan is of the opinion that we take all the people I know can do such a thing as a suspect and not just one person. I feel Damien is capable and responsible and his

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. "You lost consciousness all of a sudden", she informed me."Lost consciousness?" I furrow my brows. "How?" I only remember I was driving.She looks away with a sad expression and I become curious to know what is happening."What happened?""Tell me who is responsible", she uttered softly, holding my hand more firmly. "Your father is mad at you.""Responsible?" I ask, putting my feet down. I want to be out of here.She d

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

Belle's POV"Home sweet home", I heave a sigh of relief as I help Zayden out of the car. The front door bursts open, Tania, Natalie, and the rest of the maids come out to welcome him. They bring out his belongings from the trunk of the car as we enter.Pamela, Richard, my mother, and Zayden's mother were at the hospital before he was discharged this afternoon. 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

Zayden's POV"Go back!" The voice thunders at me for the umpteenth time but I am adamant. I want to follow him to find my way back home. Why is he sending me away?He turns abruptly to see me following him. His white face suddenly becomes red and I know he is angry.I am doom."I said go back!" He shouts again.I shiver and look back. The place looks empty, there is nothing for me there but ahead of us are grasses full of life."No!" I say stubbornly, despite my apprehensions.He scowls at me, with his chest heaving up and down. He takes a step back and charges at me. "I said go back!" He screams pushing me down the hill with all his strength."No!" I scream. There is a sudden silence. 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. I strain my ears to hear more and I hear them."Who is it?""It's Damien", another voice answers.Who are these people? Who is Damien? Where am I?
