Bella poured in wine into her cup as she gulped it all at once. She was at the bar drinking after her encounter with Eva. She poured another content into the cup and this time, she took a sip. She dropped the glass cup back on the table and clicked her tongue in a small sigh. "Hey!" She heard from behind and turned. "Hi!" She said, turning back to concentrate on her drink. "What are you doing now?" Rex asked coming to sit beside her. "I'm just chilling out here." She replied tiredly as she took another gulp. "Without me?" He asked raising a brow and she chuckled. He took out a glass cup from the bar and poured wine into it. "So, what happened? You look quite upset." He said again after taking a sip. Bella glanced at him and let out a long sigh. "It's just that I have a bad feeling about Eva coming here to stay. I mean why would she come here to stay when my brother clearly has a wife?" She said more like a question as she pouted cutely. "She is staying?" Rex asked sounding
The gates slide open as a Toyota Camry drove in. It parked a meters away from the gate and the people in it alighted.Bella sighted her brother stepping down from the car and she rushed towards him. Don tried to walk past her thinking it was still about what they discussed earlier but she stopped him by holding unto his wrist.He turned to her in a weary look and raised a brow without saying a word. "Where the heck did you put your phone?" She groaned out looking frustrated."What is it, Bella?" Don said instead."Where did you put your phone? I've been calling you for the past few hours." She groaned out loud."I was busy dealing with business and all" He replied nonchalantly. "So busy that you had refused to answer my calls?" She asked glaring hard at him."You and I know I don't joke with anything that has to do with business, everything else can be sorted out later on." He answered sternly."Really?" She scoffed out and exhaled sharply. "Anyways, your wife has been........."
The door burst open but she didn't bother seeing who it was as she thought it was Mark again. "Lillian." She heard Bella's voice, that was when she lifted her head immediately."Oh my goodness, Lillian!" Bella called out again leaving the door knob to where she was sitting.Lillian sat up immediately seemingly shocked to see Bella."Did he hurt you?" Bella asked crawling to her as she checked her body for any injury."Did he by any chance hit you?" She queried again now looking into her face."No, he didn't." Lillian replied dryly. Her shocked expression had now turned into a relived one."Alright then, let's go." Bella uttered and took her hands into hers. She pulled her gently out of the bed and even though Lillian felt reluctant, she still followed her out. She would ask her questions when they get home. They walked side by side down the stairs and met some boys roaming round in the living room.Lillian felt a little scared seeing the unfamiliar boys in all black. Bella seemed t
She crossed her legs on the chair as she smoked heavily from her cigarette, puffing it out from both her nostrils and mouth in the next seconds.She poured in whiskey into her glass cup and gulped down the whole content at once as she dropped it back angrily on the table."Mind if I join?" She heard a deep voice say. She lifted her gaze instantly recognizing that voice."I don't think you'll give your consent." He stated and made himself comfortable on a seat."What are you doing here?" She asked adjusting uncomfortably on her seat. "What do you mean? Of course I came to visit my friend." He replied innocently.Eva stared at him speechlessly with her anger slowly fading into fear."I guess I'll do the servings myself." He mumbled inaudibly. He poured in whiskey into the glass cup as collected the cigarette stick from her and smoked a little from it. "Excuse me." She muttered wearing her footwear as quick as she could. "Why are you in a hurry?" He asked staring at her while he comf
His eyes flicked open, blinking rapidly. It met with an unfamiliar white ceiling and roamed there for a while. He could swear he had never seen such ceiling before.It was in peculiar design and kinda devilish. He squinted his eyes trying to recall what might have made him end up there and he did!He remembered coming back from where he went to get some items to prepare dinner for Lillian but then he was obstructed by some mysterious gunmen. He managed to run for his dear life and that was the last thing he remembered.He groaned out loud trying to sit up but he noticed something prevented him. "You're awake!" He heard and he turned to where the voice came from. It was a nurse and it looked like she was fixing the C-line connected to him."Where am I?" He growled out still attempting to sit up. "You have to rest sir." She said pulling him down to rest back on the pillow."Where am I?" He enquired now struggling.He hope he wasn't caught by those people who tried to kill him. "I'm
She walked into the room with anger written over her. How dare she?! She was even trying to use a softer method to make her leave and yet, she was proving so stubborn.She hissed out loud in anger as she slumped heavily to the bed, exhaling sharply. "That bitch." She muttered folding her knuckles tight into a fist."Why are you so upset and taking it out on yourself?" Don queried startling her.He was selecting out a few documents from the drawer when she walked in with displeasure. She turned to see him staring keenly at her from where he stood near the drawer."It's nothing." She stuttered out turning away from him almost immediately. "Did anything happen that I don't know?" He insisted. "Nothing happened. Besides, I wasn't taking anything out on anything." She replied as she bit on her lower lip to avoid stuttering too much."Are you sure?" He asked raising his brows and she shook her head. "Yes, I am. There's nothing." She dissented from loudly. Her nervousness were increas
"Is he always like this?" Klaus asked sipping vodka."Bella forcefully made him do it the last time and now, he is trying to go back the old way." Don stated puffing out smoke from his nostrils."I think you need to do something about that Nick of a guy, you know. He's been acting like a hard nut, difficult to crack." Klaus said in a chuckle."Of course I know that." Don mumbled and sipped his vodka."The little girl is here." Klaus announced in singsong tone as he picked out a stick of cigarette putting it in between his lips."What girl?" Don asked lifting his gaze to him. He heard a gentle cough and he glanced up to see Lillian standing just a meter from him. He stared at her from head to toe before gazing back at his former direction. Lillian remained standing there without saying a word to him. She was beginning to feel more nervous than she already was before she got there. She bowed her head when he glanced at her again. "Did you come here to just work as a watchman?" Don a
She knocked on the door and paused for a while. She knocked again till she heard a voice."Come in." She went in but after looking left and right to be sure no one was watching."What brings you to my wonderful abode?" He asked with his face turning into a wide smile."The last time I checked, this isn't your house and I have the right to come into any room I want at anytime I like." She replied folding her hands underneath her boobs."I see." He muttered, clicking his tongue in a small nod. "Don't tell me you came all the way here just to prove your rights? Or did you as well come for something else?" He enquired and smirked at his last statement. Eva scoffed staring at him with an irritated look. "I didn't come for any of that. I only came here because I needed your help." She clarified rolling her eyes. "My help?" He asked to be sure and scoff."The last time I gave that to you, you almost refused to pay back." He replied. "I did pay you back, you were the one just being too
The two siblings paced to and fro in the waiting room. Their expression held nothing but anxiety as they prayed silently in their hearts for everything to go well.Lillian's mother wasn't excluded. She was called to the hospital immediately Bella and her brother, Don, suspected that Lillian was in labor. Luckily, Mrs. Blake was around the area at that time, so she followed them to the hospital.It had been over an hour since Lillian was taken into the delivery room, and there's been no news from the doctors in charge.This continued for a few minutes until they all sighted the doctor heading their way, and they rushed to him immediately.“Congratulations. She has given birth to a bouncing baby boy.” The doctor voiced out immediately with a light smile.Their once worried look brightened instantly with smiles lingering on their lips.Finally, Bella spoke out with so much enthusiasm, “Can we see them now?”“Of course, you can see them. Come with me.”They all followed the doctor to Lill
“Ughh, how tasteless can this be?” Lillian chimed in a loud voice that caught everyone's attention.All eyes were shot at her, with only Bella's having the courage to remain on her, unlike the maids who immediately continued what they were doing.Bella's gaze instantly raised a question when she glanced up from her phone.“These are no fun to take! It's really tasteless.” Lillian continued to whine and this time, she tossed the berry in her hand back to the rest in the tray.“Do you want us to get you another fruits?” One of the maids stood in an upright position and asked.They were all new maids. After what happened to Aurora, the maid who committed suicide and Mara, Don replaced the maids and, this time, with a much stricter rule. Lillian shook her head, thereby urging the maid to go back to her previous duty.This was mostly all what Lillian does to the food and even fruits she eats since she became pregnant. It was either disgusting or tasteless like earlier. Things even got wo
Bella got a hint of the situation immediately her mood changed, and no words came from her. She heaved a sigh but didn't say a word either.Just then, the door opened, revealing Don. He walked a few steps into the room and paused to stare at Lillian.The family shot him a glance, then back at Lillian. They also got a hint of the situation and guessed they obviously needed some privacy together.“Now that your husband is here, we'll leave you two to talk.” Mrs. Blake said and glanced at the others, and they all nodded.They left the ward as agreed, but that didn't change the aura in the ward. Don and Lillian still maintained their silence as different thoughts ran through their heads.But there was something strange about Don's demeanor. His expression wasn't unreadable as it used to be. This time, she could bet she was able to read some emotions out from his facial expression.One of them was anger, but who was he angry at? Lillian shivered at the thought of him getting angry at the f
A devilish smile didn't fail to crawl to his face as he attempted to pull the trigger, but all of a sudden, all the armed men in the place pointed their guns towards him, shocking everyone except Don and his personal guards.“You should also get one thing straight, no one escapes my wrath when they look for it.” Don finally voiced out with a dangerous smirk.Rex and Draco were also freed, and they joined the multitude of boys to pointing guns at Pablo. Pablo, whose face was now filled with confusion and shock, gently dropped his hand by his side.“Do you really think that you were the only one with the plans here?” Don's mind flashed back to how he replaced the men that were meant to support Pablo with his.It wasn't an easy thing to do but it was still worth it, especially since it had to with getting Pablo away from Lillian's life forever."What is happening now?" Pablo glanced around him, his mind trying not to accept that he was already outsmarted.This wasn't what he had planned.
Don tucked his gun into his pants as he glared at the men on the ground, some were unconscious while a few were groaning in extreme pain. He didn't waste any more seconds before he left the area.Pablo was actually more prepared, considering the number of guards he had secretly placed in the building. Fortunately, Don and his personal guards were well-trained enough to take them all down. Although, they wouldn't stop trooping into the building, more like they already knew of the intruders.As Don ran up the stairs, he was more vigilant than ever. The occurrence from earlier should never happen again, especially since he had only a limited time.Yes! He was already informed by Sir. Jeffrey about the short time they had to rescue Lillian. He would rather not waste a second out of it even though, three minutes had passed already.He halted when he got to a hallway leading to different rooms. Opening one of the rooms, he concluded he wouldn't be able to make it if he searched through them
Bella stood, glaring at the man in front of her, that if not for just a good reason, she would have strangled him to death right there.After so many days of searching and trying to find him, he was finally found. But then, it was so unfortunate that nothing could be done to him at the moment.“I think you can stop glaring now, else your eyes might pop out any moment.” Mark finally said, not able to endure the harsh gazes he was receiving from Bella.He was roughly tied in a piece on the cold floor, that it was so difficult to even move a body part. Though, he was already in that state before Bella and her brother arrived.“I don't mind, as long as you go down first. And don't think you're doing us a favor here because you're one of the reasons all this is happening.” The hostile glare didn't leave Bella's face as she spat out her anger.“That stupid brother of yours had better f**king bring Lillian back.” Mark retorted with so much loathe behind his voice.Even though Bella's anger k
“Boss, as we speak, they're after me and......” Mara glanced at the men running after her and she mumbled, “F*ck!”They were so close to her that in a few seconds they could catch up with her. F*ck herself for making the injuries on her look so real. Now, she couldn't even run properly with all the injuries she inflicted on herself.The men, who happened to be Don's guards, split into two groups as one group out took Mara and blocked her from running further.Figuring there was no other way out as the guards already circled her with their guns pointing directly at her, Mara halted and without a second warning, threw her phone into the nearby river.All the guards were shocked, realizing what she just did, but none of them bulged to retrieve the phone. As long as they caught Mara first, they're sure to get all the information they wanted, including the reason she shot Eva.“Hello? Mara!” The line had already disconnected, but Pablo didn't realize it until there was no more sound from th
“I want to get rid of that so-called wife of his, I don't think I can stand her even though we're just knowing each other. That b**ch is beginning to step on my toes.” “She has a name.”“Do I look like I f**king care? Whatever name she goes by, whether Lillian Blake or Killian Black, I just want one thing, and that is to get rid of her while she is still new.”“So?”“So, I want you to do something, and it's slightly simple, though dangerous.”“Danger is literally my other name, but first, what do I get in return?”“Whatever you ask for. Hold on…. What are you staring at? You want my body?”“You got it, babe.”“Just do what I want, and you'll have all you ask for.” The recording paused and that was Eva lifted her head, her mouth, and eyes wide open in shock. She glanced at the person whom she would rather die than have to listen to the recording at the moment and felt her life was over.Listening to the conversation she had with Klaus some months back made her whole world crumble. Ju
“We searched the CCTV footage for the supposed area and, as expected, it's been altered. It only showed the part where the Lady and maid stepped out to check the unconscious guards in another car, the rest of what took place wasn't found.” “It was also known that the security guards there were all unconscious at the said time, which means….”“Which means that this person really knows what he is doing. But who could he be? Or could it be......” Bella cut Draco short as her mind drifted to Mark, but strangely, she doubted if he had such authority or resources.“I doubt if he was. Even if he was behind it, I believe he had back up, someone with a similar goal compared to his.” Don also thought of Mark, but being in this game for long, he understood that not just anyone had the power to pull such strings.Nobody said anything for a while, and this gave Draco the opportunity to speak again.“We've sent messages across to all of our connections in the country, but there hasn't been news ye
