It was only after Bella went to sleep that it suddenly dawned her that since henceforth she would be the one in charge of the kitchen, she didn't know what she would, it was at this moment that she regret for not having learnt how to cook. There were many instances when aunty Rosie from the orphanage had asked to learn how to cook but she had always thought it was that very necessary, it seemed like she had always thought that she would stay in the orphanage until when she would get married, and of which she had fantasized getting married to a prince who would treat her like a queen, even preparing meals for her. Since Bella wasn't such a complicated person as such, she thought she would just cook whatever that would come on her mind whenever she wakes up, after all she wasn't that bad with the kitchen, because all in all there was no way that a person can exist in this world who knew totally nothing about the kitchen, right? She encouraged herself as she thought at least she knew th
Bella had mustered up her courage as she prayed that all should go well as she entered the kitchen, everything in the kitchen was very well arranged in an orderly way, the refrigerator was fully parked with groceries, each very fresh and of high quality, and she was surprised to realize that some other ingredients were actually imported, she wondered how rich the owner of this house really was.Trying to remember what she had seen earlier on from her few visits that she had made to the kitchen, she picked up a apron and put it on before tieing the laces on the back very well. Bella wasn't sure exactly what she was going to cook despite there being a lot of options based in the several ingredients that were available, when she could come up with anything, she went for baked egg muffins.There was a big problem though, everytime she tried to crack the egg by tapping it on the table like she had seen people do, the egg would instead break, spilling over on the working table that within
It didn't take long before Raymond arrived, he seemed like he wasn't prepared at all, he arrived running in to the house, and without a knock, entered Kevin room.Kevin had been laid on his bed, his shirt had been loosened and he was covered with a blanket it seemed like the allergy reaction was so violent as there was hives and swelling which had turned red on his face down his upper body. Without wasting time, Raymond jumbed immediately to action, saving Kevin's life being the first priority.He gave Kevin an injection of epinephrine which ensured that his life was no longer in danger. Since was still unconscious, he prescribed palforzia drugs to Joel, and left as he still had a lot of work piled up his schedule to take care of. >>Ten minutes earlier "What have you done, are you trying to kill my brother," Joel had shouted to Bella before running upstairs, and just almost immediately Ben followed him and it was just then that it dawned on Bella that something was wrong, and
Kevin had been feeling very very hungry ever since he woke, just at the very moment when Bella and Joel were quarreling, and since he didn't want to be seen by any one of them, he had decided to remain upstairs. He had already known of Joel's photoshoot, but he had thought that Bella would stay behind and take care of him until he saw how she left. He thought she wouldn't be that cruel,and at least take responsibility for what she had done, or so that is what he had thought until he saw her disappearing silhouette as she left. Kevin was feeling very lazy to cook for himself, and not just that but if the hives on his body would be in contact with heat, they might itch much more, so he didn't want to risk. He thought of ordering food but he wasn't the type who would just take his food anyhow and thinking about it, he had a second thought, maybe after all it was not a good idea to send aunt Lily to the main mansion, instead of punishing his little secretary, he was punishing himself con
The whole week had run smoothly until it was already Friday, there wasn't much to it that Bella did in the company other than some casual works which she totally hated the most, how comes she had studied software engineer yet her work only involved arranging of files, fetching coffee for the CEO and always accompanying him for lunch in those big fancy restaurants, she hated it very much.The work was so drudgery. She was already used to this call girl job in the office until that a month later when there was announced of security system alert at the company it was claimed that the company was under attack, an event that would change her life henceforth. Several meetings had been conducted so far but there was none that bore fruits. It seemed like someone had hacked the company system and was trying to steal the company's information, though hadn't succeeded yet but at the rate with which they were trying to access it, sooner or later they would succeed, and this might lead to the end
"Sir the system is failing, and twenty percent of the documents are missing, the hacker is aiming at all the multimillion deals that the company is involved with."Immediately everyone became alert, including those that were dozing off, how could that happen, they were attentive all this time in the past hour and nothing had happened, as they hadn't received any alert concerning the security invasion, so how could that even be possible, no one could answer this, except only two people in the room who were computer experts.Bella suddenly realized that her phone had been off the whole day, she quickly picked it up from her bag and turned it on, and immediately several notifications popped up on her message box, there was a certain unknown person who was trying to reach out to her. She wondered who it was that was trying to reach out to her at such a late hour. At that very same moment, the very same person called her and she excused herself to pick up the call, but all this time Kevin
"We need to talk now!"Even though Bella had expected this, she knew after everything is done she needs to do a lot of explanation about herself later on, she just didn't think that she would be asked about this very soon, and since it was already very late, as it was almost four o'clock, shouldn't Kevin at least wait until the next morning when he decide to ask her anything about everything."Okay," Bella accepted to it, though half-heartedly, she was very tired to do a thing anymore, so she just sat down and waited on Kevin to address whatever issues he had with her.Since everything was done at the moment, Kevin dismissed everyone to go home, and each one of the was given a day off for the following day as an appreciation for their commitment and loyalty to the company. Kevin offered a ride home for those who didn't have their own means of transportation but obviously they all rejected him, each claiming either they had already called a taxi or they had someone picking them up.Kev
Bella woke up relatively very late, and since it was already weekend and she didn't have to go to work, as every employee had been given a day off,as a make up for last night's time, she had planned to sleep in until very late in the afternoon, she only woke up when she had received a call from Ryan, the receptionist at the company who wanted to congratulate her for her amazing talent.Bella was surprised when she realized that it was already twelve by the time she got out of the bed, she decided to take a shower to freshen up a little, but she felt the grumbling of her stomach, most probably due to hunger. Bella went downstairs but she realized that she was literally alone in the house, the house was deafening silent. It seemed like everyone had left including Kevin, and thinking of him she remembered last night's events, but she wondered how she got to her bed as the last thing she could remember was when she had sat on the passenger seat as she was waiting for Kevin.Had Kevin rea
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
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
