When Bella opened her eyes again, she realized that she was no longer where she had been, she had been moved into a tiny room and it had been shut from the outside, the room was dark and her heart raced in fear, she was claustrophobic. "No! They can't do this to me" she murmured as tears flowed down her cheeks and she struggled to breathe, "no!no!no! Please" she kept chanting as she banged on the door agitatedly, "Please, open the door" she begged and her breath hitched when she got no response from the other side, she slid to the ground and crawled to a corner of the room, folding herself into a ball, she started counting, "1...2...3..."Her mind flashed back to when Ben, her aunt's husband used to lock her in a dark room for hours, she could hear the mice in the dark coming for her feet and she would scream and beg for her aunty to save her but even her aunt is scared of her husband and she would only tell Bella to bear with her husband. She would tell Bella to close her eyes and c
Bella groaned in pain as her eyes slowly opened, for a moment, she thought it had been a nightmare, that she would open her eyes to see herself in her room. She swallowed painfully when she woke up to find out that she was still locked in, she felt so tasty already but she sat mute, too scared to move or utter any sound only tears were silently flowing from the corner of her eyes, will Daniel come for her? She had rejected him for keeping his identity a secret from her, of course, he wouldn't care what happened to her, he shouldn't. He should be in his hospital bed recovering and not run to come looking for her.The door opened and Calvin came inside with a bodyguard, who stared at her thoughtfully, "Your husband has 72hours, if he doesn't come, you will die""You are wasting your time, I have told you that he won't come. We had separated and I was going to get a divorce, now, do you think he would come for someone that he is no longer with?"Calvin narrowed his eyes at her, "You are
Bella heard the blast and wondered what was going on, the door flung open, and furious Calvin stormed in, "come here, you witch" he said and dragged her by her hair"W. Where are you taking me?" She stuttered as she was pulled along"Your lover is here and it's time to send the both of you to the other world"Bella was shocked, Daniel came for her. Even though he was still in the hospital when she was kidnapped, he came looking for her? Tears filled her eyes, to think that she wanted to divorce him when all he had done since he met her was to risk his life to save hers."Drop your gun or I'll blow off her head," Calvin said, although, Bella could not see anyone"I won't do that if I were you" Daniel's voice boomed just before he came into view and Bella attempted to dash toward him but she was pulled back by her hair and she cried out as fiery pain shot up her scalp"Let her go or your family dies" Daniel warned and for the first time, Bella noticed the people behind him, Calvin's son
Bella stared at Daniel who was pacing around the hospital wearing a worried frown, he hadn't rested since they got here and his limp was more pronounced, she remembered that he was in the hospital bed before leaving to save her and now with Aaron's life on the line, he wouldn't even drink water or sit down.Bella wondered if this was the fierce formidable being she had seen when he was dealing with his father. Indeed, Daniel has two sides, one that is very loving and tender, that will fight to protect those he cares about and worry if any harm before them, just like he was worrying right now about Aaron, and the other side of him is a side that she never wished to experience, just thinking about how cold and ruthless he can be when he is offended, she pray never to fall victim to that side of him. Someone who can pull the trigger on his father without batting an eye is worth fearing."Come and sit down, you need rest too," she told Daniel when she thought that her eyes would fall off
Bella paced worriedly with a lot of things going on in her mind, what if something goes wrong? Daniel was still recovering and now he had endangered himself for his friend, she wished that she was the one there instead of him but Daniel had offered to do it before she could even say anything."You love him, don't you?" Brittany said as she observed how nervous and tensed her friend looked, she knew that because she felt the same way about AaronBella glanced at Brittany, sighed, and sat next to her, "Yes, I do. I love him with the whole of my heart, you know; I wanted to divorce him when I found out that he lied to me about his identity but when I was kidnapped, I realized how much I love him and right now, all I can think of is that nothing should happen to him"Brittany placed her head on Bella's shoulder and hugged her comfortingly, "I feel the same way about Aaron you know, I didn't know how much he meant to me until I received that call from you that he had been shot, my world tu
Bella was surprised to see different faces waiting for Daniel when they got home, she only recognized one of the faces and that was Mrs Beta, the cleaning lady whom Daniel's friend had put in charge of cleaning the house. Of course, she knew better now that it was Daniel's doing because he was the owner of the house"Welcome back Sir Daniel," they said in unison, smiling at him and Bella looked at Daniel for an explanation"These are my workers, of course, you already know Mrs. Beta, the cleaning lady, well, that's her husband, he is my valet, this is Marie, the cook..."He went on to introduce everyone to her and also introduced her as his wife, placing a deep emphasis on the word "wife" that Bella blushedSo many employees to serve in a house, she marveled feeling awkward at how they reverence her and received her warmly as the boss's wife"So many employees to help in the house," she said as soon as she was alone with Daniel"Hmmm, henceforth, you don't have to do anything, you onl
Aaron groaned as he stood up from his bed and the nurse who had been assigned to look after him ran towards him"I'm fine," he grumbled, waving her away. She stood there for a moment, confused whether to ignore him or attend to him, this is the most grumpy man she ever had to deal with.Aaron has been feeling angry since he arrived from the hospital and he won't pretend that he doesn't know why he was angry, "Brittany"Daniel had told him that she wanted to be his donor but the doctor said that she couldn't for reasons that he does not know.He was angry that he woke up and had been a jerk to her, she had told him that she loved him but instead of replying, he had hurt her. His eyes had been searching the hospital when he had been discharged and saw Bella but there was no sign of her, she hadn't bothered to come back not even answer her phone, he missed her a lot and wished to see her"Why not?" He questioned himself, he could simply go to her place to see her and apologize for acting
Bella stared at her reflection in the mirror as she applied deep red lipstick. She admired her looks once more, she had always known that she was beautiful but today, her gaze radiated bliss and satisfaction, a woman who is happy in her marriage. She was wearing a strapless gold-colored mid-thigh gown that clung to her skin like a second skin, her hair falling on her back as she put a finishing touch to her dressing by putting on a red gold necklace and matching earrings. Today, she has a dinner date with Daniel and she wants to dress elegantly and sexy for him. She blushed when she imagined his reaction to seeing her all dolled up.She put on her red high heels decorated with gold beneath and a matching purse just as she heard the sound of his car outside.She hurried out of her room and he stopped at the bottom of the stairs when he saw her, his gaze was awed and filled with a feral lust that sent butterflies squirming in her stomach, he looked like a man starved and she was the mea
