"A lawsuit?" Rosaline was surprised staring at the person in her shaking hands with a full of rage.

Neil narrowed his eyes with frustration filled in his face. "What have you done now, Rosaline? Who would send you this notice? With whom you messed with time? Don't tell me you went to the club for gambling again, did you?"

Rosaline’s mind flashed to Veronica’s warning the other day, she was threatened by Veronica about taking a legal action against her for insulting Arabella, she thought it was just a simple threatening but nothing serious, here a legal notice was sent straight to her house for defamation and assault against COO of starlight jewels.

Rosaline knew very well that, she can't bring up about Veronica's involvement in this, because if he found out she had tangled with the Rodriguez family, it would be disastrous, so she decided to settle it by herself, "no, I can't say the truth to Neil, so it's better for me to hide this for my safety."

    "Mommy... Mommy, can you wake up?" Abigail's gentle and small voice woke up Arabella from the deep sleep, "please wake up Mommy." While rubbing her eyes, Arabella glanced at her daughter standing right beside the bed, still half-asleep, Arabella groaned. "What’s wrong, Abi? Why are you waking me up? Do you want anything sweetie? why don't you let me sleep for some more time?" Abigail looked a little anxious, as she started speaking, "There are some people here to see you, they want to meet you." Arabella sat straight on the bed with a confused expression. "Some people? Who are they exactly? Didn't your aunt Zara talk to them? She can speak to them, right?""It's done, but we aren't sure about them, even aunt Zara doesn't know any of them," Abigail said with a calm tone. "They said they're here for you and that you have an appointment with them, they even have your business card, that's why we allowed them in, currently they're in the living room, aunt Zara sent me to wake you up fo

    "Of course, it's Natalie, the so-called white lotus bitch," Xenon's voice came from the entrance, as Arabella looked up towards him, she was surprised to see his appearance out of nowhere, "Xen, what are you doing here?"

"Excuse me? Homeless girl?" Arabella glared at him, but Xenon just laughed.

Olivia's voice made Rosaline to step back immediately, everyone's concentration became more intense, Rosaline who couldn't hold back anymore sighed, "Mother, how could you allow a disgrace like her to be here? What do you want others to think about us or our Bellchester family?" Minerva let out a soft chuckle while speaking, "A disgrace, you say? Oh, dear, what kind of joke is it?" She turned to the crowd introducing Arabella indirectly to everyone, "Our Arabella, the youngest in the family is the COO of Starlight Jewels, she is a true pride of the family. Hardly a disgrace."At that minute, the whispers around them grew louder once again."COO of Starlight Jewels? Now, it's truly exciting," one of the women gasped hard.

Leonardo spoke to himself, but Arabella heard it clearly, "tax department?" Leonardo nodded with a smile, "I know him very well, he is a good friend of my father, and also an efficient and sincere officer, do you want me to introduce him to you? I'm quite close to him, I can introduce you to him," he looked excited to impress Arabella, while Xenon sneered at Leonardo's enthusiasm, "for your kind information, sh

Don't you know, she is the daughter of the Bellchester family, how dare you treat her as a maid?" Minerva rolled her eyes talking about Brown's family, "moreover how can you live shamelessly with a girl's dowry even after divorcing her?" Britney also joined the fun, "I'm so stunned to know that, you didn't even pay alimony to our Arabella, yet you claimed, she demanded a lot of money after separation from your son, so did you lie about it?"

    "I'm still waiting for an answer from you both," Arabella narrowed her eyes demanding an answer, both Xander and Abigail just exchanged their glances but none of them spoke.Arabella couldn't help but to glare at them with full of anger, because none of them are responding and simply turning deaf ears to her question and screaming which made her extremely angry."Why aren’t you both speaking?" She asked in a furious tone this time making sure her voice is firm and furious.Before Xander or Alexander could reply, Abigail looked scared and jumped into Xander's arms to save herself.He instinctively wrapped his arms around her, holding her close to him, making sure that she wasn't hurt or not while jumping on to him.There was a protectiveness in his embrace, he never knew something like this, as he never showed this caring side of him to anyone, most especially since he hates kids, he never allowed anyone closer but the first kid who impressed him or got closer to him is Abigail.This f

Alexander smiled at her, Abigail sighed slightly, "you're not this excited when we chose those three people as suitors for Mommy, but why are you so excited about having him as mommy's husband and as our daddy?" Alexander stared at the starry ceiling, "I was waiting for you to ask about this eagerly, because I want to tell you about what I noticed," Abigail nodded, "fine tell me."

    "It's Ruby, Joseph's sister," I said, while clutching my mobile hard.Viola’s smile faltered, replaced by a furious look, "That witch, why is she trying to contact you? What does she want now?" "She tried to blackmail me yesterday," I explained, recounting the encounter of yesterday which I almost forgot until this message of that bitch popped up, "She threatened to bring out the things that happened back in the past, and the shameless method they used to get rid of their house, using those photos, she is trying to demand money from me, and wants me to get back with that bastard, the most funniest thing is, she said I should be grateful for her brother’s forgiveness." Viola crossed her arms with a scoff, "That woman is really audacious, how dare she to threaten you? I swear if you had taken me with you yesterday, I would've punched that bitch's face until she couldn't speak again, if she wasn’t already miserable, I’d make her life a living hell for daring to mess with you."Her fier

"Me? Scaring her?" Xander frowned, glancing between us."Yes, you only," She sighed, gently slapping on his shoulder, "you shouldn't speak in such a harsh tone even if you're worried about her, first apologise to her." I tried to intervene, "it's okay, mother," but she stopped me, "it's not okay sweetheart, you shouldn't allow anyone to bully you, even if it is your husband." "I'm sorry," Xander apologised, lowering his head, I mumbled, "it's okay." She looked at me with a softened expression, "forget about him, let’s get you t

    ••ARABELLA POV•• "That's it?" I asked with a sarcasm raising my eyebrows.I faced Ruby without any fear right now, I scanned her from top to bottom, full of pride, and confident, she must be thinking, she can summon me and demand something so outrageous as if I'm the same Arabella who used to be begging for their forgiveness and mercy. Ruby smirked, tossing her hair over her shoulder, while taking a few steps towards me, "Yes, Bella, that’s it, you give us what we need, and we’ll pretend nothing happened, simple, isn’t it?" This woman, can't she even understand the differences in between the sarcasm and normal words, I never expected her to be a fool like this.I chuckled at her delusion, and the sound of my chuckling spread everywhere quickly because of deserted silence surrounding us, "You think you can blackmail me again? After everything you and your brother have done to me? After your brother stole the hardwork of mine and rose to CEO position, do you still expect me to be a

Arabella could see the bitterness in Xander's face, and Xander is also upset as her silence almost felt like a refusal to him."It’s not about force," Arabella held his hand, "I knew you and your feelings are sincere, it’s just... I can’t answer you right now, can you give me some time?" Xander felt happy hearing to her words, though she didn't accept his proposal, at least she didn't reject him, so with a smile he said, "As long as you don’t reject me, anything is fine." Arabella doesn't understand why he is so gentle and understanding towards her, though she

    ••ARABELLA POV•• "Are you crazy?" I sighed with a reddened face, as his shameless words are still echoing in my ears and I couldn't let it go.He just laughed, totally unbothered, as if he hadn't just teased me to the point of embarrassment. Sometimes I wondered if he remembered this was just a contract marriage or if he was trying to make it a real one.Well, I don't blame him either because from the past few days with him, I truly got to know the meaning of love and family warmth, thanks to him and his family, my kids are enjoying the love and affection of a family, still I'm not ready to increase my hopes because of my past.The car ride to the hotel was filled with extreme silence apart from the sound of soft music playing in the background.

I can say that the dining hall is very

I gulped hard and took the initiative to answer, "nothing, just randomly talking with Xen." "From where exactly did this guy come?" He pointed at Xenon, while Xenon rolled his eyes, "I came to meet my darling Bella, it's not your concern uncle." Xander clenched his fist, "this brat!" But Xenon hid behind me, I don't understand why this guy always messes with others, then comes to me for protection.However before Xander could say another word, Xenon prepared to run away, "Let’s talk later, Bella, take care," he said in a soft tone, and left from there leaving me and Xander alone.As he disappeared from that place, I turned to find Xander standing some distance away from me, still with his crossed arms, and an expression of faint concern on his face.

    "Yes, he is my so-called ex, with whom I broke up," Xenon said with a sad tone, as if he is almost ready to burst into tears, Arabella pulled him to nearby place and both of them sat together.She offered him water to drink, "relax no tension, and have some water."

Xenon asked while taking a sip of water.Arabella chuckled and looked embarrassed but curiosity is quite evident on her face to know more about Aaron and Xenon, "So, are you going to tell me everything now? I mean, what made you to punch him? And what you meant by he is the guy you broke up with? When did you both even date to break up now?" Xenon leaned back, running a hand into his hair, as he literally hated talking about that past of his, "It's a long story, Bella, I don't even know where to start."

    "How long do I have to suffer like this? It's all because of that little bitch Arabella!" Joseph sat on one of the chairs, seething with resentment in a prison room with oppressive walls. His mind occupied with anger and desperation as he awaited for his sister’s arrival. When Ruby finally appeared, looking defeated and no signs of positivity only got his anger to be increased.Ruby sat down opposite him, slightly with a disappointed look on her face, "I tried my best brother, but I don't think I could do anything at this moment, all the ways has got seized."
