The sun cast a luminescent glow as soon as we landed at Campeche International Airport. We headed straight to Cabañas Laguna, Isla Aguada, to gather information about what Connor had planned before. I hope the tip given by Candice is useful.

After almost two hours, we stopped in front of a small and cozy hotel. A garden setting surrounds a decent-sized pool.

With help from the Mexican authorities, we can easily enter the place as they are already getting inside the hotel, together with the Canadian and US police officers who handled the case of Connor in each country.

I noticed that Ronan remained still in his seat while his eyes glued outside, watching the officers check the inside first with their firearms.

“Are we not going inside?”

“They have to make sure the place is safe for us, Belle.”

I nodded and leaned on my seat.

Seeing the hotel and pool made me realize we've never been hanging out again with the kids since the problem with Connor occurred.

    RONANI saw how Belle panicked while trying to explain to herself that she saw Lucia in that secret room. I scratch my temple, trying to figure out if she's making up stories or not.“Belle!” She flinched and confusedly gazed at me. “She's dead.”Her lips parted in surprise. “What?” Her eyes quivered at what she had heard.With a sigh, I reached for her hand curled into a fist. “Lucia Liley died two months ago. The hospital confirmed it.” I gently spoke.Her brows furrowed, and she shoved my hand. “No! I saw her four days ago. She's alive but not well. She looked sick–”“Calm down.” I cut her words because she became hysterical.The men watch her, bewildered at her statement. But she's more baffled at her discovery.I tried to hold her hand again, but she stepped away from me as she devastatingly pushed back her hair from her forehead. I can sense her emotions colliding inside her.“Why won't you believe me? I know what I saw.” She whimpered as she was on the verge of tears. “Okay,

    RONANWaiting in a visitors' lounge here in a psychiatric hospital in Ottawa with Jacob gives me a different feeling.Yeah, I've decided to let Jacob meet his mother.Weirdly, I'm the one who's deciding it, though I'm not his biological father.How can I abandon him? His parents are not stable enough to raise him. One of the staff helped us get through the room where Jacob and Candice met.“Jacob!”“Mommy!”As soon as we open the door, Jacob sprints to Candice, who's impatiently waiting inside the room.Seeing the kid tightly hug Candice made me realize I almost ignored Jacob's will to meet his mother. I forgot that he's been a mama's boy since birth.I left the room and gave them privacy to cope with the things they missed. I guess it's already been a month since they parted ways with each other.I waited outside the room and sat on the empty bench. I'm worn out on the flight.There's still no news about Connor or Paul. The tip that Candice gave was a great help. The documents conta

    YSABELLE As soon as the oven sounded, I sprinted to the kitchen and found Ela already taking out the pizza I had made for the twin's snack.We just came back from Mexico early this morning and sleeping for only five hours made my headache worse.The scenario in Mexico came back to my head again.Lucia is dead? How come? I know what I saw was real. Or maybe that woman inside the hidden room was not Lucia. A twin or sister who looked like her, I think.With a sigh, I grabbed the pizza cutter to start murdering the homemade pizza on the table.“Mommy, where’s Jacob?” Ashley suddenly asked out of the blue.“With Daddy, baby.”“Where?”“Visit his mommy.”“Can I visit his mommy too?”My ears perked up at her words. “No.”“Why not?”Why is she so talkative and curious all the time? Unlike Ashton, who remained silent while staring intently at the pizza.“Uhmm… only Jacob can visit her.” I reasoned.She pouted and leaned on the seat. “Is she not my mommy too?”I gasp in disbelief. Where did s

    YSABELLE As I arrived home before dinner, I saw Ronan drinking whiskey on the couch. He looked worn out as he chugged down the glass before his eyes met mine.I avoided his eyes and took off my heels because it was killing my toes.“Where did you go?”“I met my father,” I said as I walked past him, heading upstairs. I'm doubting Ronan’s intention in getting back with me and helping my father's company. Is he the same as some money-addict rich asshole who only loves themselves for being a wealthy freak?My father is a great example.Why am I doubting Ronan? Even his feelings for me.Father brainwashed me again.I throw my heels inside the closet and feel exhausted.“What's wrong?” I was startled at Ronan’s presence behind me. “Nothing.”I took off my clothes to change into comfortable ones despite Ronan’s heavy sigh behind me. I want to ask him what's bothering him because it's obvious he's worrying about something.He just came back from Canada with Jacob. Why does he look trouble

    YSABELLE I followed Ronan, who headed straight to Jacob's room. After carefully putting him on his bed, he locked the door, which surprised me.Will he be all right alone inside?“Is locking him in his room made any difference?” “For only a few minutes until he calms down.” He then apologetically stared down my leg, the blood still dripping down. “Come on, let's treat that.”He carried me in his arms and entered his room to his bathroom. After placing me on the toilet seat cover, he cleaned my wound in silence.He kept sighing as if it was his fault, blaming himself for the injury. I know he had enough of Jacob's tantrums. So do I. But we can't hate Jacob. He needs special attention that we cannot provide.“I'm sorry.” There is bitterness in his voice. “It's not your fault that he accidentally threw the plates on me.”“I'm sorry for not asking your opinion about Jacob.” I was taken aback at his words. He lifted his eyes on mine. “He's not mine but I'm still keeping him–”“Because y

    YSABELLEMy fingers curled around the phone as irritation slowly reached my nerves. Hearing her voice again after fooling me together with Paul made my rage come back in an instant."What do you want?" I gritted my teeth as I walked away from the servants and headed inside my old room."I called you because I can't reach your father."I annoyingly sigh. "Where did you get my number?""Won't you ask why I'm connected to your father?"I rolled my eyes as I remembered how she seduced an old man to get money from him. This bitch still has the guts to call me and talk to me as if we haven't been in touch with each other as a best friend."Do you think I care? And if he's the one you want to speak with, don't call me. Bye.""Wait!" I halted and was confused by her desperate voice. "I have something crucial in my hands that can ruin your father's reputation."My jaw clenched at her remarks. "Don't give me bullshit, Shaine.""What? I thought we were friends. Friends should tell each other sec

    YSABELLEAs soon as I arrived home before dinner, Ronan’s frown greeted me. He knew what I did.But I didn't kill her or what.“What have you done?”I shrugged. “She threatened me.”“What if she's with someone more dangerous?” He exclaimed in rage.“Not at all. I'm f*cking tired, Ronan.”I headed upstairs without meeting his eyes. I took a shower to freshen up my mind but couldn't help sighing all the time.It's already in the past, but why couldn't I move on? Something is bothering me inside about what I learned today.We left Shaine at the building where we met and gave her the ten million she wanted. Even though her face was red from my slap and her running bloody nose was still dripping down, her face lit up seeing the check in my hand.She opened her mouth so I could reward her.However, knowing the truth from Shaine slowly hit me so hard. I can't believe my father did that while my mother was pregnant with me. I was born in 1996, so if that woman got pregnant, I think the bast

    RONANWhimpering, Belle rolled her hips against me, thighs tightening around my waist to give herself a better purchase. She moaned, squeezing her eyes closed as she pressed herself against me, over and over. Releasing her nipple, I looked up at her, at her parted lips and hooded eyes. She was so fucking hot when she was turned on, it made it so hard not to just flip her onto her stomach and fuck her like a deprived beast. Reaching down, I teased the waistband of her sexy shorts, trailing my fingers across her skin, reveling in how it made her shiver and push into my touch. My thumb slipped under the fabric, swiping over smooth soft skin before pulling back out.She bit down on my lip in a warning. "Stop teasing me and get to it."Chuckling, I pulled down her shorts as she lifted her hips to make it easier for me. Using only one hand and her help, I managed to slide the shorts and underwear off of her.I quickly maneuvered her thighs so that they were resting on my broad shoulders,

    YSABELLEI woke up when a hand accidentally hit my face. I groaned in pain and got up only to see Amara sleeping soundly beside me. A chuckle escaped from me while caressing my cheek.It's not that painful, though.I covered Amara with a blanket and got off the bed. I glanced at the clock marked four am. It was early, but I couldn't go back to sleep, so I decided to waste some of the hours jogging around the mansion to replenish my mind.I was about to enter my room but the door of Jacob’s room suddenly opened. Jacob came out of the room, dragging his luggage behind him. I approached him with a confused look in my eyes. “Jacob, where are you going?”“I have an early flight to Australia.”My brows furrowed. “Why? I mean, Ronan would–”“Classes are starting next week. I already bid my goodbye to Dad, Ashley, and Amara last night.”He looked down, avoiding my eyes as if he were guilty of something.“That's… earlier than I thought.”I scratched the back of my neck as silence between us

    YSABELLEI open the door of the police car because I don't plan to ride Ronan's car. But Ronan closed the door and turned me around to face him."Belle, it's not what you think. Nothing happened between us–” I pushed him in irritation, but he only grabbed my hand and pinned me to the car. "Please believe me." He pleaded.I refused to meet his eyes as I struggled to pull my hand away from his grip and push him out of my way. But he's a man, and I'm only a woman who couldn't even move this guy away from me."Get out of my face." I snarled.His Adam's apple moves before firmly saying, "No."I'm tired. I don't want to argue with him. Also, there are people around us.I avoided his eyes but only to see Jacob's inside the police mobile, silently waiting."Talk to him."Through my peripheral vision, I saw him looking in the direction I was staring. He slowly let go of my wrist while sighing deeply. With furrowed brows, I glared at him and saw him only solemnly staring at Jacob."Don't just s

    YSABELLE"Jacob? Are you alright-"Before I could even continue my words, Candice suddenly pushed me, causing me to fall on the floor. She immediately sat on my stomach, wrapping her fingers tightly around my neck."Don't let your guard down, bitch,"I tightly shut my eyes as I struggled under her, trying to push her and take her hands off of me. Damn it! I'm losing my breath and it feels like my veins are about to explode any moment now.With gritted teeth, I also did the same to her neck, burying my nails in her skin and I'm doing my best to escape from this nightmare–"Enough!"Suddenly, the weight in my stomach disappeared, as well as the violent hands of Candice from my neck. I coughed so hard, trying to catch my breath while caressing my neck from the pain she had caused.Shit! I almost became a memory! Sweat trickled down my temple as I hazily looked in front of me, trying to focus my sight on the person who took Candice off of me.But my eyes widened to see an unexpected man

    YSABELLEI anxiously swallowed the lump stuck in my throat as I stared at Candice intently, waiting for her response. She inhaled sharply as her eyes didn't leave mine. Suspicion lingered in her eyes and I can't help but curl my toes in nervousness.If she's dumb enough to believe my words–"Okay."My left brow rose abruptly.Uhmm... I didn't expect that, but that's what I want to happen.With a sigh, she reached for my chain around my ankle as she took out the keys from her pocket. The corner of my lips lifted when she finally inserted the key in a lock."If you had just done that before, we wouldn't have led to this kidnapped thingy." She mumbled under her breath. Once she released my ankle, her face lifted on mine. "So-"I strike her face with my knee, causing her to fall on the ground with loud screams in pain."FUCKI"I whimpered in pain as I caressed the knee I used because of the strong impact it created on her face. I bet I broke her nose."Yeah, fuck you bitch." I said under

    YSABELLE"Congratulations! You have been fooled for the second time!"My chest twisted in pain as my eyes wavered while staring at the picture on Candice's phone. I hate seeing him on the bed with another woman. It felt like the past resurfaced again and again every time Ronan interacted with them.However, as I kept staring at the photo, Ronan was sleeping in an uncomfortable position, which made me frown. He never sleeps on his stomach because it makes him feel uncomfortable, and his neck the next morning would definitely give him pain.Something is not right.My eyes caught Candice behind the phone, grinning from ear to ear while staring at me as if waiting for something interesting to happen.Did she take the picture? For what? To brag about it to me? If she likes Ronan that much, why does she let that woman sleep with Ronan?I trust Ronan... after all those years we've been together... I know he won't waste it just like before. But I have the right to get mad and feel betrayed.A

    RONANI kicked the door in rage as I stormed out of the club where I last saw that woman. I did everything I could to find her information and make sure I could get hold of her. But the owner of the club didn't know the woman. She's not a regular here.I had already sent the little information I'd got to Kevin to do the rest of locating this woman. I should not have left that morning. I only want confirmation if something happened between us or not.As far as I remember, I didn't get drunk that much to the point that I collapsed and blacked out. Did she put anything in my drinks? No, she didn't offer me anything.Damn! My head is aching up now.I slammed the door of my Ferrari, and the first thing I saw when I entered the car was Belle's picture on my dashboard, together with my children.She was so gorgeous with those smiles.My chest twisted in pain as the face of the woman came across my mind."Jesus, what have I done?" I tightly shut my eyes in fury as my fingers tightened around

    YSABELLEA door was wide open behind me. With a small light coming from outside the door, a silhouette of a woman at the doorway sent shivers down my spine. Though, I can't clearly see her face due to the darkness inside the room.Who is she?-- Wait... Where's Jacob?“Who's there?” I asked as I was about to try to stand on the ground, getting my balance, but a chuckle echoed inside the room, which made me freeze.That familiar laugh…My pulse anxiously thrummed as I squinted my eyes to focus on the face of this lady wearing a dress with short, wavy hair.A sly grin formed on her lips, which made my legs tremble in fear."Ca-Candice?"It couldn't be right… I abruptly closed my eyes when the lights suddenly switched on."Yes, dear."My soul almost left my body upon hearing her voice. Is it really her? I slowly raised my gaze and met her grinning face. "When have you been out?" She wore blonde artificial hair and put on heavy makeup. Maybe to make sure no one recognizes her."You don'

    YSABELLEJacob doesn't have any choice but to follow me inside the building. I know he's scared to face Ronan, but I don't want him to bury a rage deep down in his heart about Ronan.We headed straight to the CEO's office but found his office empty. He's not around, and neither is his secretary.I called the receptionist through Ronan's telephone, and a woman answered immediately."Hi. This is Belle Volkov. Where's Ronan?""Good day, Ms. Volkov. As far as I know, Mr. Volkov is not around."My brows furrowed in confusion. "What do you mean he's not around?""Mr. Volkov didn't come to work."My ears perked at her words as my jaw clenched.If the people here tell me he's absent from work, it means Ronan has no other outdoor meeting or anything related to the company.Where is he? He's not at home, and if he goes somewhere not related to work, he always tells me so I won't get worried. But why he didn't tell me anything today? Because he's angry?"Where's his secretary?""He's on sick lea

    YSABELLE “Why didn't you talk to him?”“He refused to let me visit Mom, so there's no need to ask his permission to go back to Australia.”I can sense his irritation just by mentioning Ronan. I can't blame him. Ronan just does whatever he wants, not even realizing what Jacob might have felt.He's just a child wanting to see his parents and know how they are doing. But Ronan didn't understand his feelings, which added to Jacob's frustration.“He still needs to know. Wait here, I will call him.”I walked to the door, but he stopped me by holding my hand.“He's busy and still angry at me. Also…” He looked away and turned his back on me as he let go of my hand. “I don't want to see or talk to him.”“Jacob, he's only doing this for your own good. You already know the past of your mother and your biological father, right?”“I just want to talk to them. Is that a crime?”I was taken aback at his words.“N-No, it's not.”He stared at me with mixed emotions. His eyes filled with anger, pain,
