Bella was confused with the abrupt turn of events, this was not what she was here for, she only came here to act as an imposter girlfriend, how did it turn to planning a wedding, wasn't the old man too delusional on all this, Bella thought to herself but never dared said a thing, even her appetite was gone already after she heard the old man start on that conversation.Since Kevin too was already done with his meals, he invited her to join him to meet the old man privately though he certainly had a clue on what the old man wanted to talk about, it was obviously a matter of emphasizing on marriage thing, but Kevin didn't know that the old man was that serious with it until later on when he claimed that he would arrange a wedding himself. That was just so ridiculous, and the worst thing was that she couldn't retaliate, she knew once she say a single thing then everything would be ruin, including the play that they had just shown to the old man earlier on.Ten minutes earlier on,"Since
Kevin had no otherwise, it seemed like his grandfather was so adamant in making sure that he really get together with this woman behind him,but he won't fall for such a trick, because he wasn't sure what exactly was the deal Bella and his grandfather and to add on that Bella herself was so mysterious to him, what if she was a mole planted by one his enemies, he wasn't ready to risk such a thing.With that in mind, Kevin thought he would just have Bella sleep on the coach, he won't allow her to sleep with him on the bed, what if she's someone who sleep walks or maybe snores, he won't like it at all, Kevin thought as he opened the door to his room, but that too was before he was met with another surprise.For someone unknown reason Kevin thought that his room somehow looked so empty, like there was something missing, and that's only after scanning it more did he finally noticed that the coach was missing. What was his grandfather really think, did he have to that extent just to make sur
Eventually coming to terms with each other as there was no other choice anyway, they decided to share the bed, each taking the farthest end from the other, a d this was only after they placed a bolster in between them to separate sides. Kevin too had just laid down when he remembered something, so he immediately woke up, sat on the bed and faced Bella.Do you snore? I hate people who snore so you better not do it today, Kevin warned and just as he turned around to go back to sleep, Bella too woke up and sat down facing him.I normally do snore, and infact very loudly at such, and not only that, I always sleep walk too, Bella said with a taunting smile, obviously teasing him before she went back to sleep. Since there was only a single blanket in the room, this meant they had to share it, so Kevin too crawled in and laid down, though he was annoyed when he had heard Bella teasing him, just by the taunting smile on her mouth he knew she was not serious as such.Within no time, Kevin cou
Immediately after the breakfast, Kevin had headed straight to the hospital to find Raymond, he had a lot of concern to talk to him about, and there was a lot of questions in his mind too that he wanted to get answers to.Of course he had left Bella behind as his grandfather had insisted that Bella should accompany him for lunch, he had claimed that he was very lonely alone at home, but Kevin knew that this was just his grandfather's plan, how could he be lonely when apart from the house keepers,there was also Joel and Ben to accompany him, but still Kevin didn't want to argue with him s he already had a lot on his cup to take care of. "I really can't tell exactly what is wrong with you as there hasn't been so far any medical finding or proof that could support the phenomenon of your body reacting to only one person and also you also sleeping well when you are with her," Raymond spoke after Kevin had explained to him everything that had happened last night."There could be one thing t
"What do you mean grandfather, are you trying to imply that mother is dead? Ben walked in to grandfather Fu very surprised, this was such a bad news that had been buried for eighteen whole years that no one had really known about it. "It is the truth Ben, I am really sorry that I didn't have the courage to tell you guys, because at that very moment you were still morning for the loss of your dad," grandfather Fu said as tears lingered at the corners of his eyes, he himself was already feeling like she was a disappointment to his grandson, one thing he was always very afraid of.Ben walked to where his grandfather was seated on the coach and hugged him as they both cried together, a scene that made Bella emotional too, but she didn't say a thing as she wanted them to release the pain that they both had buried deep within. "I am really sorry grandfather," Ben said confusing the two people in the room, why exactly was he apologizing for, he hadn't done something wrong, or had he cried
Throughout the following three and half weeks there was nothing much to it that happened, everything had gone back to normal, not the very normal that it used to be, but the kind of normal that Bella had always wanted, she no longer worked as a call girl to the boss like earlier on, but instead she was assigned some tasks which she had Kevin who was her own personal trainer, even her office interactions with the other employees grew a little bit much better than before and she made a lot of new friends. Bella kind of liked these changes, as not only just herself, but the boss too had a few changes here and there, and unlike before when he was the god that everyone had to be wary of, he had started interacting with the employees a little bit more, and this had really improved the working conditions and the decision making process in the company, as the employees had a lot more freedom in expressing their concerns and suggestions, and not only that, the boss had ceased going out for lu
Bella stood at the door, in the bureau office while she had her eyes glued to the documents in her hands, this was more of a dream just thinking that she was now married, but still she wasn't that excited like she had always thought she would be when she would be married, she had always pictured herself with the man she loved and the aftermath of getting the certificate would be them kissing each other as they jump up and down in jubilation before hugging, she had also pictured herself crying, tears of joy as her spouse help her to wipe it, but sadly this was not exactly what she had thought, because instead of crying happily, she could feel tears lingering at the corners of her eyes, but they were tears from the anguish, she was feeling sad. Was she really that sad to get married to me,or was she regretting getting married to him,Kevin thought to himself,but dared not ask her despite the fact that he was dissatisfied,just seeing her sad expression didn't sit very well with him, afte
It was at the wee hours of the morning when the plane landed at JKIA international airport, Bella was already feeling very tired, due to jet lag, even though she had spent most of her time on the plane reviewing the documents that was needed for the meeting later on during the day, and other than engaging in the work related activity, she had taken most of her time eating and sleeping, after all the food offered was very good, and free, which was to her advantage, she had eaten variety of the several foods that was offered to her that at time she could feel Kevin's eyes on her, he was staring at her as if she had grown two mouths, but she didn't mind him at all, she just kept on minding her own business, which in the case was food.Once they plane landed, Bella picked up her luggages, which basically comprised of Kevin's and her own stuff, and since Kevin was walking far ahead of her, she had to half run to catch up with him in the process. Bella ran cautiously to make sure that she
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
