Ch 26: I Don't See Bella on the List
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Wendy watched pitifully as the young lady cried her heart out while she glanced through the pictures that she had taken with her father over the years. Some were even taken from when she was very little. It was her whole life with her father staring her in the face.
Instead of the fond memories bringing her joy, as usual, it rather made her sad. She couldn’t believe that her boss would choose a scheming woman over his own daughter. In Wendy’s sight, he was too perfect to make such a costly mistake.
“I can’t even call him because this wouldn’t classify as being urgent.
What else can I do?”
She pondered in worry, Chloe’s choked tears causing her heart to ache even more. Wendy lo

“Erm, who’s Bella Grey?I don’t see my name on the list.” Selene spoke out in confusion, as Declan informed her about the venue change. He had mentioned that the meeting venue had changed from the original place she had received via email to a new venue, one of the conference rooms of the Grand Lumen Hotel. However, Selene couldn’t find her name on the circulated participant list when she checked. It was something she decided on a whim, which ended up proving fruitful, if not, she would have reached the venue and wouldn’t know how to respond to her new name.“Your name is right there, Bunny.” Declan responded from the wak-in-closet, to which Selene responded in confusion, “No Daddy, I just checked, and it’s still not here.” “I thought you just mentioned your name.” Declan was confused that she was asking about her name once more. “What’s my name? Bella Grey?”Selene was surprised by her question, but she was more shocked by his response. She remembered entering her name exactly a

“Yo, Declan Grayson. Now that you’re a business tycoon, have you forgotten about your big brother? How long has it been?” Garrett Grayson teased from the other end of the line. Declan was shocked to see his brother’s call. The last time they spoke was a few months ago when Declan traveled outside the country and met him at his school. Garrett said his dream was to complete his Master’s degree, hence, he compelled their father to keep running the family business, while he took a break to learn more about business. The decision was a difficult one for them, as their father wasn’t willing to go through the stress of managing his companies anymore. Their eldest sister didn’t have any interest in the family business, as she was busy pursuing her dream of something else, carving a name for herself in her field. Even though she supported in her own way, she still wasn’t interested in the day-to-day running of the company, and someone needed to be in the seat of authority and hold th

“Mom?”Selene called out gently when she realized Tara just wouldn’t get the words out of her lips. She wasn’t trying to be too pushy, but they needed to be fast with their discussion, so she could get on with her reason for being there.“I just wanted to hear you call me Mom, one more time.” She confessed, much to Selene’s shock. She could never tell that her simple form of address could have such an effect on her mother.“Mom.I’m sorry for everything I said to you.You deserve more than what I said in a fit of anger.I know I acted like a spoiled and unruly kid, but

“Why are you confused about the question, or perhaps, you were not even sick in the first place?”The Assistant Director was wondering if the young lady was just a bad liar or a terrible actress. Either of the two would still mean she was a bad choice for the current role. They needed a person who was talented, versatile, and able to fit different roles at the same time. Selene portrayed all that they wanted in the audition videos she sent. Even when they had a face-to-face via video call, she seemed to be a natural.He had vehemently argued with Director Pierce over the young lady for such a long time, as he wanted to overturn the decision of the judges to make her the lead actress. His only reason was that she was inexperienced and shouldn’t be trusted with anything so big on her first try. However, every other judge, including the Assistant Director made him understand that they would lose a great deal if they let her go. They also reminded him that everyone was once a newbie, an

“Lock down the place. No one leaves the conference room. Not even a fly.” Declan’s cold and menacing voice sounded through the receiver, and Bruno could only respond in the affirmative. He was seated in the back seat of the limited edition Bentley, Boris driving at full speed. Meanwhile, he left a few instructions for Bruno to carry out in the Grand Lumen Hotel. If any of the artists had toyed with Selene in any way, Declan was going to deal with them ruthlessly. All he needed was the doctor’s diagnosis before he’d know how to handle the situation. It was as if other road users and traffic signs were nowhere to be found. Boris needed not to be told to step on the gas, as the two had a tacit understanding by merely staring at the unconscious body of Selene, who lay limply in Declan’s embrace as if she already bid goodbye to the world. “Please, Bunny, stay with me. Bunny, please say something. Ask me whatever you want to know, Bunny. I’ll tell you anything. Please… Just sp

Tell me, what’s the occasion?” He asked after adjusting himself comfortably in the lush cushion, spying his friend expectantly. It wasn’t every day that a man like that called him out for a meal, and he was confused when he received his call in the morning. “Come off it, Declan.You are the only businessman who allows a contractor to make all the decisions. How the heck didn’t you end up with a crook?”Christopher retorted, earning a low chuckle from Declan. “Let’s just say, I have the best engineer in the whole of Bloomsbay.What do I have to worry about?Hahhahaahh!After all, considering all the magnificent structures you pulled up for me, I might as wel

“Chris, this isn’t good.I just saw Selene being driven out of the hotel.She seemed to have passed out.”Tara mumbled with shaky hands, fumbling with her car keys.“Yes. Yes.

As soon as his words fell, he tightly grabbed onto the young lady’s hair, safely securing her in his hold.Lulu had been hiding on the stairs that seemed a little too dark, yet, she enjoyed the solitude. However, her heart threatened to lunge out of her throat when she heard the familiar voice behind her. She sat quietly, her jaw resting in her palm, as her folded elbow rested on her knee. Her tired gaze was fixed on the dark path ahead, her thoughts running wild with a lot of unforeseen pressure weighing on her young shoulders.On impulse, Lulu quickly lunged to her feet, only to be restrained by a sharp grip on her hair. “Ouch! That hurts…” She exclaimed, instinctively holding onto his hand in a bid to stop the pain, and begged, “Please, let go…” However, the Director looked left and right, assured that no one else was around, then he mot

“Doctor, am I okay? I'm not dying of any terminal illness, right?” Miranda had a plaading gaze, hoping his next words would encourage her.

Despite everything she's been through, Miranda longed to live and have her own family. She wasn't ready to die so young, not when she didn't have a love life or any children to remember her by.

“You’re awake,” Miranda spoke in a low and detached voice, making Leonardo aware that she regretted their encounter as much as he did. He looked the young lady up and down, taking in the hickeys and other marks he left all over her body.Watching her stand at the entrance of the bathroom with a white towel wrapped around her body, he wondered why she seemed so nonchalant about what happened between them when he felt she was as regretful as he was. Droplets of water trailed from her hair onto her body as her chest rose up and down. When he took in the sight of water droplets settling on her collarbone, before getting lost in the towel around her chest, he gulped uneasily, sensing that his little member was getting giddy at the mere sight of Miranda in a towel.Leonardo’s mind suddenly had a fleeting thought. “Vilma never had such an effect on me.” However, as soon as the thought crossed his mind, he chastised himself for comparing Miranda to the gold digger. He didn’t notice that he

“Aaaaahhhh!!!” A slim and tall middle-aged man lay sprawled and naked on the ground in Bloomsbay Central prison. It was his cell room, but a few male prisoners who seemed to be with their boss surrounded him. Two men stood to his left side, as three others stood to his right. “Why do you keep screaming like a sissy, huh?” The leader roughly hit his ass with his right foot, exchanging a discreet glance with one of the three men, who began to undress himself.“Well, you just served two of us, and there are three more to go. So, suck it up and do your duties. I don’t want to gag you. Your groans are such a turn-on.” The man licked his lips and signaled the naked man to proceed, and the man began to scream once more. One would have thought that the guards outside the cell room would intervene in the illegal activity that was currently going on. However, they rather served as their lookouts, watching to ensure that the road was clear, and no superiors witnessed whatever was going on.Th

“How are you feeling?” Lulu asked as soon as Gilbert stepped out with a bandage wrapped around his right shoulder. The look of concern on her face shocked the young man so much that his guilt knew no bounds. “I’m fine. No need to worry about me,” Gilbert responded wryly, wincing from the sharp pain that just assaulted his body. What happened a few hours ago suddenly threw Lulu’s mind back, causing her gaze on him to be unreadable. She thought she was going to die, but Gilbert jumped and took the bullet for her. It still felt so surreal, as Mercedes aimed for her heart, and Lulu thought it was the end. Right now, Lulu saw Gilbert as her saviour, and nothing he said could deter her. Boss Vicker jumped in front of her when they were involved in an accident a few days ago. The heaviness in her heart at the thought of her husband lying in a coma because of her was unbearable. Dr. Leonardo mentioned that if Vicker Greenwood didn’t wake up before the day ended, it would only mean

“What happened?” Declan asked the nurse as soon as he arrived at his mother’s ward. He feared what he might meet there, so he chose to first ask the nurse before going in. “The patient suffered an adverse reaction after her chemotherapy session in the morning. She’s stable now, so you can see her. Please go in. Dr. Leonardo would explain further.”The nurse directed Declan to his mother’s ward and watched him step away with heavy footsteps. Declan was worried about how long his mother would hold on till the baby was born.Dr. Leonardo gave them big news on the day they discovered that the babies in Selene’s womb could help cure Rafaela’s leukaemia, as he confirmed them to be a match. As a result, they have been hoping and praying that Rafaela should be around long enough for the child to be born. That way, they would have two bundles of joy, and still be able to save his mother also. Declan stood outside his mother’s ward, as he watched Dr. Leonardo busied himself with his mother. S

“Good morning, lady and gentlemen,” The company lawyer greeted, as soon as everyone was seated. He roamed his gaze across the room and realized that everyone was staring at him with expectant gazes. “As stated in the document in my hand, the CEO, Vicker Greenwood, declared that if anything were to ever happen to him, his wife, who is majority shareholder in Hidden Gem Entertainment, should assume the role of CEO. According to the decree of the CEO, I welcome the interim CEO, Ms. Lucinda Greenwood.”Lucinda walked in under the scrutinizing gazes of all the shareholders. She had so much grace and poise that no one could doubt her. However, it was still their money in question, and they still had to be careful about who they endorsed. “Greetings.” Lucinda spoke up as soon as she took her seat at the head of the table. She took in their shocked gazes and enunciated, “You don’t need to trust me. All I expect of you is to trust my husband’s judgments. If he has taken this company from gra

“Grandma, why are you still awake?” Selene walked toward Rafaela, who sat on the sofa, checking the door to see whether it was them. She was surprised at the level of stress she was putting herself through.“I couldn’t sleep,” Rafaela responded, her gaze on Selene’s stomach. “When I heard the news, I got scared.” She confessed. The woman thought it was Selene and her son who were involved in an accident, and even when she found out that it was someone else, she still didn’t feel okay. Her rich Spanish assent always made Selene love the woman more and more. However, she kept praying to the heavens that she would wait till she delivered her child, so that they could help treat her leukaemia.“So sorry. I thought you were already sleeping.” Selene responded sincerely. Rafaela never stayed up beyond nine, as they prescribed a lot of bed rest, so her condition wouldn’t worsen. Hence, when Selene and Declan exited the award venue, she thought about checking on Rafaela, only to conclude tha

“Doctor, h… how is my father?” Gilbert arrived at Elite Touch Medical Centre and introduced himself as Boss Vicker’s son. The nurses quickly showed him where his father was, as even they were wondering why no one had come for the couple yet. Lulu’s mother didn’t stay up, as she was an early sleeper and equally an early riser. Dr. Leonardo squinted at Gilbert and asked coldly. “Who are you?” Gilbert felt a bit embarrassed, as he was sure that Dr. Leonardo might have heard about him and his sister’s treacherous activities already. He was even the one who discovered what was wrong with his father before Vicker left the country to seek treatment elsewhere.“I know I’m the last person you wish to see here, but believe me when I say I really want to know how my father is doing. No evil intentions attached. “Dr, Leonardo watched him wordlessly, before turning toward Selene and saying, “Lulu is fine. We’re doing our best to save the baby as well. I believe her husband shielded her with his
