It was already two months since Bella and Kevin were finally given a go ahead from Bella's parents, and yet here they were already standing at the alter facing each other. Bella had tears on her eyes, just remembering everything that had happened to her she felt like all that had happened was just a dream, it was just like yesterday when she had met Kevin coincidentally, and yet here they are, already got two kids by their side who were watching them, Memories flooded Bella's mind, fragments of a past she had struggled with. Faces flashed before her eyes, voices echoing in the recesses of her consciousness, the journey indeed was quite a long one, with both happy and sad memories. Yet, as the darkness crept over Bella knew she could not turn back. She had come too far, sacrificed too much to let fear dictate her fate. With a heavy heart, she took a step forward towards Kevin, who was looking all handsome in a three-piece tuxedo, his eyes never leaving her, appreciating her beauty. S
Perfect Strangers -Jonas Blue The tires screeched to a halt as the driver held on to the brakes making the dust rise from the ground. Kevin frowned and lifted his face from the documents on his lap, he was proofreading the documents he was supposed to present before he arrived at the meeting in the next fifteen minutes when he felt his driver hold onto the emergency brakes. "Ronnie, what happened?"Kevin asked deepening the frown on his face. "Sir, a certain dog jumped onto the road and..." " You just hold the brakes for a dog, are you kidding me? Kevin interrupted his driver and Ronnie could testify that Kevin's eyebrows nearly met due to the deep frown on his face. "No sir. A young girl just ran onto the road after the dog but I swear I didn't hurt her," Ronnie hurriedly explained. "You don't have to explain it to me, Ronnie, just go and fu**ing check out on her, I swear if I get late on that meeting, I am gonna fu**ing kill you!" Kevin said through gritted teeth, bu
The phone rang for the third time before Kevin finally picked it up, it seemed like the caller was persistent. "What!" Kevin barked when he saw the caller, it was none other than his stupid younger brother. "Ooh, I missed you too," Joel replied, rolling his eyes, he was already used to his brother's behavior, and at times, he wondered how they could be brothers, one always in a jovial and sociable mood, while the other a grumpy, cold, and arrogant jerk. "I never said I missed you," Kevin replied with a smirk, it seemed like his friend was in a mood to play. "Of course, you didn't, a dumbass like you would never say such a word even if you miss me." "Joel!" Kevin called out sternly, how could two people call him dumbass in a single day. Joel just reminded him of the gangster girl who shamelessly called him the same name. "Do you have a dead wish!" Kevin thundered, his voice dripping with anger, but when he didn't get a response, he decided to hang up the call,
"Bella, aren't you going to wake up, it's eight already, or aren't you going to the graduation anymore?" Aunt Rosie shouted at Bella's door. She had been walking her up but seems like she was adamant about not waking up. Graduation! That's the only word Bella heard, she threw her duvet away and immediately rose from the bed but her pounding head made her stagger as she sat back on the bed. She only had forty-five minutes to prepare and drive to the university. With that in mind, she removed her nightgowns and ran to the bathroom, she doesn't remember how she got home last night but that was the least of her concern at the moment. Since she wasn't that well prepared for the graduation, she just picked up casual ragged denim pants, a plain t-shirt, and a hoodie all black, and as always she put on her boots, all black though unlike always she hadn't tied her hair into a ponytail but left it flowing. When Bella came out of her room, Aunt Rosie was really surprised, it seemed li
The alarm had been ringing for quite some time now that it was irritating Bella, she had planned to ignore it and had even buried her head on the pillow, and just as she stretched her hand to switch it off... "Bella just get up already and don't even think of switching off your alarm otherwise you're going to be late for the interview," this was only what she required before her drowsiness vanished. Interview! Bella didn't hear even a single word other than this, and as always she just threw her blanket away before running to wash up, she didn't want to be late for the interview lest she miss this chance to work at JB Inc., and since she didn't have enough time to prepare herself, she wore her usuals and rode her scooter. JB Inc. "Hello, how may I help you," Bella was asked politely by a young man who sat at the reception desk. "Ooh hello, I am Bella Jake, and am here for the interview," Bella replied and as she checked her watch she gasped before she searched through her ba
"I think this is all you need to know miss Bella,we only have one place left,and since it's almost lunch time,let's just go to the cafeteria and have our meals,"Jane, Kevin's secretary spoke politely,she wasn't the harsh arrogant type of secretary that are always heard of to be commonly found in the offices.Actually she had liked Bella already seeing she wasn't the arrogant rich young mistress that she always encountered in the office and she thought maybe they could be friends, after all she didn't have a lot of friends in this office, save from Ryan, the receptionist. "Just call me Bella, after all we are almost age mates," Bella said smiling politely, she has never liked any time one refers to her with miss, it always makes her feel old. "Okay, you should also call me Jane," and just like that they left for the cafeteria, but only to meet Ryan who was also on his way, and so they tagged along but all this while all the eyes in the room were following them until they took there se
"Why did you leave just now? You didn't even finish up on your lunch, Kevin asked glaring angrily at Bella, he just didn't like the fact that she just walked out of him without even finishing up her lunch."I just wanted to give you time, not like it's a big deal," she added and rolled her eyes, which didn't escape Kevin's eyes, but he remained silent, he still had a long time to teach her manners.Make sure you take a look on my schedule and master everything, and one fact you should know about me is that I hate laziness, dishonesty and tardiness." Bella didn't have a lot to do for the day as she was still familiarizing with the working environment. Just as it turned four o'clock, she picked up her backpack but just a glare from someone behind the table reminded her of the third clause on the contract, so she slowly sank back to the coach, and it didn't take long before she fell asleep.As workaholic as Kevin had always been, he hadn't even noticed that he had been working for three
"Sir, butler Garry just called, he says your grandfather is at the hospital and is requesting for you now, he says he won't get any treatment if you won't go to see him," Ronnie, Kevin's personal assistant bulged in his office not even with a knock. Kevin knew his grandfather very well, he'd been asking him to get married now that he was at his late twenties but everytime Kevin has always dismissed him but seems like this old man was adamant to make sure his plan was executed and Kevin knew very well that this old man won't really let him be unless he really got married.Picking up his jacket, he left the office as Ronnie followed him. "Sir don't you think this is just another of your grandfathers tricks just to make sure that you get married, I think he has used the same trick severally that it's already very familiar. "" Don't worry, I know what to do, I just want him to stop pestering me for good," Kevin replied as an evil smirk tugged at the corners of his lips, and Ronnie wasn

The whole day Bella refused it eat that it really worried her parents, they really regretted having done this trick on Bella because her reaction on it was much worse than how they had thought she would take it. Earlier on Elizabeth and Frank had agree to themselves that they would attenuate a certain drug which has similar characteristics as peanut allergy,after all Frank himself was the doctor and he had control over everything,the drug was supposed to induce Kevin to semi comma, and the only thing that they would come up with to tell Bella was that it was peanut, they kind of knew how vigorous Kevin's reaction to peanut would be, and they didn't want to risk it on him, they wanted him safe for Bella. Elizabeth and Frank didn't have much to do for the day, and just immediately after dinner they left for their bedroom as Bella had refused to go downstairs to take her meals so they left her be.Bella took a seat and placed it at the bedside yet before the bed where Kevin slept, all
Bella was surprised when she found her father on the living room, seated as if he was waiting for her, and it was at that moment that Bella knew that she had f**cked up, obviously she knew that her father was already aware that she had sneaked out of the house to go and spend a night with Kevin, and thinking that maybe her father would snap at her,so Bella had already designed a plan to herself that would make her father give in to her, so Bella pretended to not have seen him at all as she walked to the stairs."Bella stop it,stop right now!" Frank had spoke up just as Bella took the first step on the staircase, it's not like he didn't know of what she was up to, and after being found out, Bella took slow steps backwards making sure she didn't turn around to face him at all, she was afraid to face him in case he was so angry with her, that was the only thing that Bella was afraid, seeing her father being angry with her.Bella walked until she stopped just before her father, but she di
It was around five o'clock in the morning when Bella woke up, she was still being held tightly by Kevin, she knew it was time that she should wake up before her father would come over to wake Kevin up, Bella knew that if that was to happen then she would be in a lot of trouble.Bella tried to loosen Kevin's hand from her waist, he was holding it possessively like he was not going to let her go, and Bella liked it so much, she has always liked it whenever he would hold her that possessive, it just showed her how much he loved her and craved for her. Kevin was fast asleep, and it just dawned on Bella that she was supposed to be on the move back to the main mansion, otherwise if she were to waste a single moment still sleeping here her mother could find her and she knew better than anyone what would happen next in such a situation.Bella was feeling hesitant to go, and finally when she had stepped from the bed she thought of something before she came back near the bed and leaned in to K
It was around eleven o'clock in the night, everywhere was so silent and dark, and there was only one soul that was still awake at the time, she was turning and tossing around the bed as she was not sure whether her parents were asleep yet or not, but she was afraid to switch the lights on, what if she were to be found out, she didn't want her parents to know of her plans, or anything that she was up to, everything was supposed to be secretive so that she could execute her plans.Bella slowly woke from her bed, put on her sleepers and slowly walked out of her bedroom making sure she was as silent as possible. When Bella reached the stairs and thinking that maybe she would be found out, she bend down, removed her slippers and carried them as she sneaked out, passed through the living room before she out them back on and headed to the workers quarter at the farthest end of the compound, she was making sure she does not make any noise in case she were to alert her father.Bella was very
"Mom, why haven't I seen Kevin in his room, has he already left ,"Bella walked to her mother feeling disappointed when she had gone to Kevin's room but she hadn't found him at all, and she wondered whether he had already left, at some point she was feeling disappointed thinking that as she had thought that Kevin had come for her yet he had just left without her, after all it was still very early in the morning for him to have left for any where.Elizabeth had a creepy smile at the corners of her lips, but she hid it before Bella could see, after all after her discussion with her husband last night they wanted to trick Bella onto her realizing her feelings soonest possible because they too felt bothered thinking if her bringing up her children as a single mother when her husband was still alive, they were afraid that their grandchildren would be brought up the same way they had brought up their children. "Ooh, sorry I forgot to inform you that Kevin accompanied your dad to the farm ve
Only after Bella had gone to bed did the table become cheerful once more, she had bid her parents and Kevin a good night before she had gone to bed, and it was then as Kevin watched Bella's disappearing silhouette did Kevin decided that maybe it was time that he should talk to his father-in-law about what he was here for, after all ever since he came to this house there was never a time that Kevin had gotten such a chance to speak with his in-laws.Immediately after dinner nobody left the dining table, even though Frank was so tired but he knew if he would go to bed without listening to Kevin then he would be doing him fair and that is why he too didn't leave and only cast Kevin a curious glance as if asking him to go on with whatever it is that he had in his mind.I know I don't deserve to be given this chance to speak with you after everything that happened back then a few tears ago, I know I was so selfish but the reason as to why I came here is because I want to make everything st
"Ooh my sweet daughter, you are here, I have missed so much, when did you arrive,and where are my grandchildren ,did you bring them with you Frank, Bella's father spoke as he walked in to the silent room as Bella rose from her seat and ran to him hugging him tightly, she too had missed her father so much, in the five or six years that they have been together her father has always shown her all the affection in the world that she has ever yearned for, after all just after she had woken up from the comma he was always by her side taking care of her and he had told Bella that he was willing to make for all the nineteen years that he was out of her life.There were moment that both Jade and Jake would always complain about how they were not given any attention at all by their father but all this while Frank would always dismiss them and told them that they were men and they had to take care of themselves on their own unlike ladies whom he thought of as either the princess and the queen, a
Bella didn't have the courage to tell her mother what had transpired between her and Kevin but she had a lot of questions in mind to ask her, what exactly was Kevin doing here in her house in the first place, wasn't he supposed to be on a business trip as he had said to her almost a week ago when they had shared their dinner and he had promised to be back soon immediately after the meeting would be over, but she knew only Kevin himself was supposed to answer all that questions after all her mother was not there when they were talking about this.But Bella asked her mother this one question, while there were very many guest rooms in the family why in the works would Kevin be doing in her room instead of being in another room after all he was a guest, it it seemed like her mother had really forgotten that she didn't like it when someone enters her room without her permission whether she is around or not, but even though she feigned anger only Bella knew deep down that she was angry with
