Daniel stared at the unconscious man who was tied and seated in the empty room. He felt a surge of anger the moment he saw him. If it wasn't for this man's betrayal years ago, perhaps, his mother would still be alive.He had vowed on his mother's grave that he would avenge her death and he meant to keep that promise because he would fish out everyone who was involved in one way or the other. Directly or indirectly and he will deal with them one after the other.He slowly sat on the empty chair that was situated right in front of Rollo and stared hard at him. With a kick on his knee, Rollo grunted and slowly opened his eyes."Who are you?" He asked as he tried to disseminate Daniel's look in the shadows but he couldn't quite catch it.This was one thing Daniel loved about the moon house, he could always see his prey but none of them could see the face of their predator. The harsh light in the room was solely focused on Rollo's face and he wouldn't be able to see past that light."I sai
By the time Bella woke up, Daniel still hadn't arrived, so she decided to go out and look for a job. She quickly ate the remaining sandwich from the previous day and dressed in one of the clothes Daniel bought for her. It fits her slim figure and stops right above her knees with a little bit of cleavage out in the open. The gown was simple and beautiful, and she decided that she liked it. She quickly ran her fingers through her hair and that's it. Bella is effortlessly beautiful, even without trying, her looks were the last thing on her mind right now, what she needed was just a cloth to cover her body and right now, she has that all thanks to her husband. A husband that she had hardly seen since she got married to him.She shrugged, at least, he has given her shelter and that's all that matters to her right now, once she gets a job, she'll learn to get by and live on what she earns.She came across a clubhouse that had written servers needed, she had never been to a club before let
Bella placed both hands in a pleading gesture as she stared at the manager, "Please, help me, Sir, this customer tried to take advantage of me"The manager scoffed at her, "What advantage? You signed up for it, I asked if you could handle the job and you said yes"Realization dawned on Bella, "n..n..no Sir, I didn't know...?""You didn't know? The manager cuts her off, "Well, too bad because you will have to keep your end of the bargain because Mr Meyer here is a valuable customer and I won't want to displease him"The manager dragged her into the room, "Now, apologize to Mr Meyer and do as he wants""No, please, I'm married...""Well, you should have thought of that before coming here""I like this girl, she is the one I want and no one else" Mr. Meyer groaned from where he was still lying in pain on the ground, "I'll triple your payment, whatever you want, I'm ready to give to you""Did you hear that? Can your damn husband offer what he is willing to pay?" The manager asked"I won't
Bella's mouth hung open as she stared at Nicholas Calvin's huge mansion, she had never seen anything like this and even before stepping inside, she already felt so out of place. She had been stunned when Daniel had told her that they would be attending the anniversary of his father and had given her a quite expensive dinner gown to wear to the party. She had been hesitant about the gown because first and foremost, it was way too expensive and higher than their budget but Daniel had told her that she had no reason to worry because he bought the dress on credit and would have to pay in installments.The party was boozing with the rich, all glamorous and classy and Bella felt out of place even when she was dressed in such an expensive dress, she felt she did not have the poise and carriage of a rich and classy lady.Heads turned as soon as Daniel and Bella entered the Calvin's mansion, the party was being held in the garden, and with Bella's hand in his arm, Daniel led her into the garden
Bella walked towards the direction given to her for the restroom and got lost. The mansion is so big and one could easily get lost, she retraced her steps and headed towards the direction she came from, at least that's what she thought.She stopped on her track when she heard voices"Rollo was shot by Nikolai Klaus and the cottage was taken from him" a voice was saying and Bella slowly walked towards that direction, it was coming from a dark room at the left wing of the building. "I do not understand why Nikolai Klaus will be interested in that cottage, something is not adding up. Did he see his face?" Bella recognized this voice to be Daniel's father but who are they talking about?" Well, she might as well just ask them for directions to go to the washroom and that's it, she shouldn't care what they're talking about"I don't think he is after the cottage, he is after his pen drive and Rollo was stupid enough to tell him that the pen drive is with you""That fool, I want you to get r
"where are we?" Bella asked as they stopped in front of a big mansion, she was nervous when Daniel started going in like he owned the place, she knew that it's not possible for him to own such a big mansion hence, she was curious, "are you breaking into someone's house?"Daniel scoffed at her question, "Don't you see I am opening each gate and door with a key? Is that how to break in?""Oh well...so?""This house belongs to a friend of mine, he is currently out of the country and wants me to occupy it until he comes. his only condition is to take good care of it"Bella gasped in awe as he opened the door, the inside of the house left her speechless, "I...I...never knew you had a friend who is this rich""Er...em.... yeah.... actually, this is the only house left to him by his mother, and his mother had inherited it from her parents""Oh, I see" Gingerly, she sat on the sofa while Daniel went to the bar and brought a bottle of wine "Do you think we should be drinking his stuff?""Trus
"Calm down, I'll get to the bottom of this, just get some rest" he patted her back and stood up, he wanted to make some calls to find out who was behind this.Bella grabbed his hand when he made to leave her room, "Please, don't go...I... I'm scared"Daniel loves sleeping alone and he needed to be alone that night so as to find out things."I'm sorry to ask that from you, it's just that I can't think of sleeping here alone this night after what just happened"Daniel sighed, much as he hated it, he'll have to oblige her, she is his wife after all even if it's just on paper. "I'll sleep on the couch", he turned off the light and lay on the couch, he watched her until her breath even out before he closed his eyes to sleep. He can't take the chance of making calls in the room or he will be risking her hearing, whatever call he has to make, he will do it tomorrow.His eyes snapped open and he quickly grabbed his gun when he heard Bella scream, his eyes located her on the bed and he release
"Damn", Daniel cursed as he pushed Bella behind a street pole just as a bullet whizzed past her ears, he didn't even come out with his gun and so could not return fire. With what Bella had told him, he was certain that his father was behind this.He gazed around for what to do. If they don't leave here, the shooter will be able to get to them very soon. He sighted a flower roll and whispered in her ears"I'll count to three, then you'll make a run for that flower roll and I'll distract whoever is shooting at us""No Daniel, I....""One...two...three..." He counted, not minding her outburst, and pushed her towards the flowers. Bella made a mad dash for it, she had never been so scared her whole life. She had been hurt, betrayed, and lost faith but had never been so scared, she finally hid behind the flowers as Daniel had instructed her and gasped for air. Damn, what's wrong with her? Why does her heart hurt so much? Her breath came out in a painful gasp, it was as if the air was being
