Bella
“ this is confidential information “ growled the red head , snatching back the document from Jacob’s hand , then she turned to Seth “ I would say congratulations to you for getting rid of me but I find it too hard to believe that you will see the end of me , or women like me yet. Your father doesn’t value you as his heir , and I’m pretty sure he will get another bitch for you to call mum “
“ well considering that you are packing your bags and running away from my home with your tail tucked between your legs , I’m sure you can see how much you are valued and how much those upcoming bitches will be valued by my father in the future. It’s clear that even if my sperm donor doesn’t bother to take me as his heir , he couldn’t even bother to take you seriously , at least I have a fancy title of being his son , what about you ? You have nothing . In fact I’m confused by your confidence , like d
Bella" Brown 's court hearing is in a few days time " said Conan his arms folded in front as he watched the information displayed on the computer screen " if we are lucky the case will be thrown off the court and we will be able to get our hands on him , but we gotta be really careful because he doesn't look like someone who wouldn't be careful enough and there is also the matter of families that are going to attend the courthouse , if he gets away from the charges , the families will most probably try to riot . And if he isn't released from the court, there is no way to get our hands on him no matter how much money we are prepared to throw out - at least not for a very long time "Seth's mouth twisted in a ugly grimace " well we can only hope that Jess is as good as she claims to be . Or we will never zero in on our dear stalker "" fine " Jacob said with a scowl that showed his unhappiness clear as a day , it was clear that he didn't like it at all but ev
BellaI could just bet they did . Even though those sponsors wouldn't want to save Brown's perverted ass , but they wouldn't want Brown to be caught in a serious criminal case and draw attention to them either ." I'm just a small editor in this press . I don't have a five figure in my bank account , it takes a month before I can actually accumulate three figures in my account . I don't have the power nor the money to fight legally against either him or his sponsors - I just wanted to make sure that he wouldn't hurt me . He hasn't , so I pulled my complaint back "" but don't you live in fear every day ? That one day he will come back " I could understand it very well as I too was living in the same fear , even though I didn't overreact over getting kidnapped and almost getting hurt , Somewhere deep in my heart , I lived with a fear that - that stalker might come back to physically assault me again." I do. Brown is sick in the mind , he i
Jacob“ So its you “ said Dante looking down at Bella who was standing beside me “ you are one for who this brat is losing his mind for? Do you know that because of you he nearly offended someone he should have never offended ?”Bella cocked her head “ I could almost believe you care about him “Dante ‘s eyes widened and reared back “ of course I care about him ! He is my son ““ Really ? You do ? So why didn’t you help him take care of his sick mother ? Where were you when your wife completely forgot about his existence and made him a ghost of you ? What have you done for him except pushing him away? Did you ever made him feel safe ? Happy ? At his own home ? I will tell you what you have done - you have done nothing !”I watched as my father ‘s nostrils flared and an impatient look flashed in his eyes , I knew that Dante Knight didn’t like it when someone ques
Bella“ what do you mean by that ?” He asked , his mystification was palpable and I knew that he didn’t understand what I was trying to say , in fact I didn’t understand it myself . I should be happy , really happy that Jacob wanted to stay close to me , this was what I wanted but I wasn’t happy , I was upset and angry at something , someone all time and Jacob - he was the only one person whom I can find a place to lash out , it was wrong of me to that but this sudden rage in my body that I have been suppressing inside me ever since my mum returned home , ever since my aunt started dropping subtle hints that I wasn’t as good as Lily for Jacob .I had no way to let out that rage , and The realisation that Jacob was trying to control my life against my will . Sneakily , doing his manipulative shit on me - It was the last straw , my fuse that had been whistling and crackling under the lack of sugar and carbs finally blew up .
Bella “ where have you been ?” This is the first thing that my mum have to say to me the second I push open the door to my house . It wasn’t that she didn’t know where I was - she just wanted me to say it. “ You already know it mum “ I told her as I walk past her “ And don’t tell me that I’m living in a sin , there is no point in saying that and its too late for that as well “ I don’t want to discuss my s*x life with my mum but she was getting on my nerves and why in the world was this room swirling around ? It seems to be spinning around . “ Bella , you can’t - I didn’t raise you like this !” She snapped rushing after me , I clutched on the stair banister , as nausea struck me like a crushing wave . “ woah , are you okay ?” Chris who was coming down the stairs took one look of my face and held me up as my knees gave out . I swallowed hard trying to suppress the acid and nausea that was churning in my stomach and tryi
Jacob“ Jacob “ Selina and Ron yelled from the waiting room , apparently Bella did code in the ambulance while they were bringing her here but the medics managed to bring her back just in time . My brain had stopped functioning the second I heard Selina say that Bella had coded on her way to the hospital , and it was only because of Seth and Conan’s dual efforts that they were able to bring me back before I slip out of my sanity .I marched over to them , like a man on a mission “ where is she ?”I needed to see Bella , touch her , feel her - kiss her. I needed to know that she was alright , she was going to be okay - she had to be okay because she couldn’t die . I loved her and I needed her , even more than that I thought I did . And I only realised it when she was this close to slipping out of my grasp , I have always been afraid of needing people in my life , and Bella was the only exception that I let ins
" Jacob calm down " said Conan before taking slow steps towards me , as if he conscious that I was literally on the verge of either collapsing the fuck down or throttle Bella 's mother " Don't do anything you might regret calm down . I know you are suffering and it's really hard but you need to step back "No , I didn't have to do that at all . It was so easy for this woman to decide ' what's good ' for Bella without asking her first , without letting us know first - maybe it was high time for me to send her in a psychiatrist ward without letting her know about it too because apparently that's what good for her isn't it ?" Jake " drawled ConanHarming someone in the of ' its for the best ' was exactly what Ms Hamilton was good at wasn't she ? Now why don't I do what's good for her and take her to a psychiatrist , letting the entire world know how this classy , good looking woman was nothing but a mental patient . That would kill her alright ? Maybe
Jacob“ Young man you have no idea what you are talking about “ said Franklin his eyes narrowed dangerously “ don’t even try to talk about matters that you might not even have an inkling about or you might find yourself to very indeed sorry in the future ““ You are threatening me ?”Chris asked , pointing to himself “ you are actually threatening me old man ?”“ I’m not threatening you “ said Franklin as if he was stating nothing but valid understandable facts “ I’m telling you the truth , you have no idea what my daughter is going through - and you have no right to say anything -““ He doesn’t have the right but I do right ?” Cutting him off I asked “ I have the right to know why despite knowing that Helena is nothing more than a selfish child who cares nothing about anyone else but herself - who only saw to her own needs “ I paused try
EpilogueOne year later“What I’m trying to say is you can’t blame me for this !” exclaimed Jason , almost lunging at his girlfriend ‘s throat “ you are trying to argue with me with your so called theory but I’m telling you its not gonna work . If you gonna counter my theory you better prove it with real facts not ideologies “I grinned as Alicia gripped her head and groaned , like her head was going to explode any moment because of all the stress and frustration her boyfriend was giving her . Their debate session are always intense despite how loving they are out of the debate club , once inside - oh boy , they would be ready to lunge at each others throat and if I didn’t knew better I would have taken them as mortal enemies .They have never met a topic where the two of them would be able to cordially agree with each other . At first everyone was alarmed and worried when we firs
Bella“ Holy sizzles “ gasped Selina “ you look so beautiful ““ I know right “ said Adriana as she swiped her fake tears with her forefinger “ this is my master piece ,simply flaw-fucking -less amazing “To add to the effect she even sniffed” are you ready ?”Of course I was , this morning Adriana had stormed inside the room that I was sharing with Selina . I have told her in passing that I was going to do my makeup on my own - and believe me the girl squawked so loudly she was one pitch lower than the seagulls .If I wasn’t ready after all that , then I would never be ready . I nodded and once I did , Selina and Adriana grabbed my shoulders before turning me around to face the mirror .And I only had one word in my mind - Gorgeous .The solid champagne slit dress indeed flattered my curves , somehow it made me feel beautiful yet sexy at the same time . A
Bella“ It was the wedding dammit ! “ shrieked my mother “ I wanted you to be beautiful , I wanted you to feel beautiful ! Have you seen Lily ? She looks beautiful , she is healthy and active . The second she appeared in the wedding hall everyone’s gaze was locked upon her and she wasn’t even the bridesmaid ! What about you where were you ? I will tell you “ pointing her fore finger right at my face , my mother snarled “ you were being ignored , everyone was ignoring you despite Jennifer standing next to you because you are not what this society calls beautiful and healthy . You are average Bella , just average ! Do you want to be average ? Because I don’t ! I want my daughter to be beautiful and healthy , the centre of attention ! Even now the doctor can blame it all on the medicine but if you ask me , I say that it was all because you were so heavy . It wasn’t the side effect of the medicine that I gave you , No matter how much those doctor insist it is until they turn bl
Jacob“ Okay first question , exactly how much ICD one needs to overdose and die ? “ I asked but then furrowed my brows “ guess what that’s a stupid question isn’t it ? You can’t answer anyway . So “ I shrugged casually “Let’s see what exactly is the level of ICD overdose ,I can find it myself no need to trouble you “Wilkins ‘s eyes got as wide as saucers as he started to moan continuously , his eyes darting to the door and back to me .“ Ah , you better stop doing that - Grampy “ I told him with a warning note in my voice “ if something happened to you right now , you don’t even have someone to plan your funeral tonight “His eyes widened but he stopped struggling . His body went slack , and his chest rose and fell with uneven breaths . His eyes locked at the needles in my hand .“ that’s a good grampy “ I cooed soft
Bella" I think I will - umm , go ?" said Anna as she walked past Ron without waiting for an answer from me . I wanted to ask Ron , what was that about but the expression on his face made it clear that he didn't want to talk abut what happened just now .So , I swallowed my questions back . Instead I smiled at him " Hey , how are you doing ?"Ron who was still looking over his shoulder , turned his head back at me and smiled back " come on short stacks , is this question something you should be asking ? Instead it should be me asking , how do you feel after beating the death 's ass ?"I sit up a little more comfortably and flash him a victory sign " It feels awesome , I was -"I couldn't even get the words out because he already has his arms wrapped around me so tightly , that it was becoming a struggle to breathe ." I was so scared ,Bella .. just so scared " he said , his shoulders shaking as he rested his head on m
Bella" when I almost lost you , I realised how much I needed you " he said resting his forehead against mine " I didn't think about it while you were right by my side , but when I thought I was going to lose you , I realised that I never told you how much I need you "" I know , that already Jake "" Throughout my life I was scared about needing someone , scared that someday someone would want me and I would want her too "" I know that too "" No , you don't get it " he said nuzzling his head to my neck as he let his head drop down " You have no concept of how much I need you , if you knew you wouldn't be so calm , it would scare the hell out of you . It scares me too "" well , if it makes you feel better . I feel the same " All my life I have fought my battles alone , I have been disappointed so much by my family that I grew resistant even at the thought of needing someone . But Jacob was essential for me ." Glad
Jacob“ Hey , I’m back mum “ standing in front of the white headstone without Dante was awkward enough . But I knew I had to be here because she had always been there for me , I placed the bouquet of roses on her grave . My chest was rippling with so much relief and gratitude than ever before “ just so you know , I’m going to fulfil that promise the one that I made to you . I will study hard and inherit Dante -no Dad ‘s company and be a better man and son , a son you can be proud of ““What I want to say - oh to hell with this “ I wasn’t the emotional type and with all the errs and momentary pauses I was certain that my mum must be laughing at me if she was watching me right now “ What I want to say , is thank you . “ I looked at her grave before looking up at the blue sky “ Thank you so much mum , I know you came through for me …I know you did “Because she had
JacobI knew that this was real selfish on my part but you know what fuck it , because if I don’t put a stop on my pain right now , it will keep brewing until I was on the verge of dying with it . So better just end it before it becomes too much for me to handle .“ Mom , you don’t owe me a damn thing . But if you really have a pull up there I need you to string it up for me -please bring her back to me because I need her “ still leaning against the cold marble tomb , I uttered my final plea “ if you bring her back I will try my best to be a son that you can be proud of , so please tell that guy to return her back , I will do anything -please mum “Nothing , not even a flicker of grass or any soft caress of wind flew next to me . And I knew she didn’t hear it , And honestly I didn’t blame her because if I was in her place where my own kid loved my murderer instead , I wouldn’t listen to his damn ple
Jacob"I know you will be really pissed off about this but honestly I don't care because I have been pissed at you all my life and couldn't do a thing to you so yeah - that account is settled . Now we are going to talk about the new one -Bella , she is really a good person , she is loving , compassionate and caring - something I can't say about myself " I stopped breathing hard as emotions clogged my throat , I cleared it before continuing on with my speech that I have prepared after thoughtful consideration " and she is mine , you hear me mine not yours and you have no right to take her because -" my vision went hazy and something warm and wet trickled down my cheeks . I inhaled sharply staring down at the wooden flooring away from the altar " because she is my everything . I know people shit around the word ' love ' a lot now a days but this different . I have already promised her a future together and I can't fulfil that one promise if she is not by my side . " my voic
