Daniel was tired and really needed to go home and rest, he hadn't rested for weeks because he had been constantly on the trail of those shareholders and now that he had succeeded with his plans, he just needed to unwind. "How dare she lock me out of my own house" he gritted as he banged on the door. He used to have servants and cleaners everywhere in this house but he had to tell all of them to leave so as to maintain his status in the eyes of Bella, although, he didn't stop paying them, he had asked them to go on vacation until he sends for them and not once had one of them dared to lock him out, even though he didn't return for a month, the door is always opened to whenever he comes back and his new wife now thinks that because he hadn't been back home for days means she can lock him out?He banged on the door once more but harder and after a moment, the door opened dressed in her nightie looking like someone who had just woken up"The nerve of you to lock me out of my house and go
Daniel was sipping coffee when Bella finally came downstairs, their gaze met and held for a fleeting moment before she quickly averted her gaze. She silently poured herself a cup of coffee and his brooding gaze followed her around. The air between them was so tense that Bella felt like running away from that brooding gaze of his.She sipped the coffee and shuddered at the taste and dropped the cup. She couldn't take this much bitterness, not even a drop of sugar was added to the coffee.She couldn't take the silence anymore and she turned to face him, "I'm sorry" they both spoke at the same time and they both stared at each other and he smiled while she giggled softly."I was a jerk yesterday, I shouldn't have kissed you""Let's just forget about it, it didn't mean anything to me by the way""Hmm" he replied to her last statement as he narrowed his eyes at her and she stared at him in a kind of way, "I mean it didn't mean anything to me also, in fact, I forgot about it the moment you
Bella walked nervously with a steaming cup of coffee, Brittany had told her that the owner of the company was Nikolai Klaus, does it mean that she would see the mysterious king of the underworld today, would he be as handsome as Brittany had imagined? For some reason, she was eager to see the infamous Nikolai Klaus.Unknown to her, the rope at the back of her dress was slowly getting loosed as she innocently walked towards the office she was told was the president's office.Her stomach tightened in nervousness as she knocked on the door once, she heard "come in" from the other end and opened the door to see her husband standing by the window and going through a piece of paper in his hands."Daniel, what are you doing here?" She asked in confusion but the door suddenly opened and another male entered the office. She was so startled by the unexpected appearance that the steaming coffee slipped from her hands and poured right on the man. He hissed in pain as hot coffee scalded his hand"
Bella prepared her bag to leave as soon as it was closing time, her mind was still on what had happened earlier and she felt jittery not knowing her fate."The boss wants to see you," someone said and she jumped, so this is how she'll get fired all because of a stupid mistake, tears watered her eyes"Hey Isa, are you okay? Are you in any trouble?" Ollie asked in concern, the boss hardly sends for anyone well except one is in a kind of troubleBella's mouth quivered and she bit it hard, "Why is the boss asking for you?" Ollie pressed observing the distressed look on her face"She's so dumb, of course, she might have done something. I hope she gets fired" Keisha quibbled angrily and a tear fell from Bella's eyes at her harsh words before she angrily dabbed them away"Don't be so harsh Keisha, Isa was once our classmate and childhood friend, we should treat her with kindness""She was my classmate but never my friend. Let's go, her problem is not our problem, remember we have a date""Bu
"Oh my God! Oh my God!! Oh my God!!!" Bella kept chanting as she ran around a bit confused at what to do. How could he just faint like that? Was he sick? She ran back towards him and pumped his chest with her fingers, "Daniel, wake up" she begged and kept pressing his chest.What should she do? She had seen it in movies where after pressing his chest, she would blow air into his mouth, she would try that to see if it would work"Daniel please" she begged once more as she prepared to blow air into his mouth. Gently, she pressed his jaw to open his mouth and gently placed her mouth on his but to her shock, she felt his tongue slide into her mouth and he kissed her. She snatched her mouth from his as if it burned, "you were pretending all along?" She asked furiously and Daniel lazily stood up"Did you think that such a small fall could make me faint? Let alone kill me""Don't you dare do that to me again" she hissed and turned to leave but he grabbed her hand and drew her back"Were you
"Hey Brittany" Bella greeted as she entered into the drugstore"Hey, look who the cat dragged in" Brittany replied as she smiled at Bella"I need your help in making a choice of college"Brittany's eyes widened, "you decided to go to college instead of working?" Bella smiled as she sat down on an available chair in the store, "You won't believe this, my boss gave me time for my studies, I'll only have to work for two days a week and my college fees will be deducted from my salary but I don't care about the money, I only want to finish my college but now I can't seem to make a choice of which one to attend""Wow....your boss Nikolai Klaus? Did you get to meet him? How is he?" Brittany was breathless as she stared at Bella in excitement, "I'm so crushing on him already""Calm down Brittany, first and foremost, I haven't met him but I met the person who is directly taking orders from him"Bella went ahead to fill Brittany in on what had happened to her since she got into the company"T
Bella tried Daniel's cell phone number for the umpteenth time before going to work but he wasn't answering and she decided to call again. What does she care anyway, it's not something new anyway, he's always been that way. Taking the subway, she headed for work.The atmosphere at her workplace is different today, most of the workers were staring at her but trying to be discreet about it."Hi Bella" one of the workers Tiffany greeted her with her big smile and Bella was shocked, some days back, they all treated Bella indifferently but now someone even talked to her? Oh wowKeisha walked in with a cup of coffee which was placed on Bella's table and glared at her, "Your coffee...ma'am"She bit out the 'ma'am' with such venom that Bella shifted uncomfortably in her seat, "Thank you, Keisha, um...you can call me Bella"If stares could kill she would have dropped dead because Keisha's eyes held fire and brimstone as she stared at her and she leaned in close to her ears, "you can get your lu
Bella was surprised when she was told to go home by her boss. She had seen the stares of other workers when she was called to go to the boss's office and she felt a bit awkward and fearful that she might have done something but she was told to go home and get a file that her husband didn't bring to the office, the boss had told her that he had called Daniel countless times to ask for the file but he wasn't answering his calls so she had to go home and get it but just when she was about to enter the house, he called her again to apologize that he file he was looking for was actually in the office and that he was sorry for any inconvenience. He had asked her to take the day off instead.Bella sighed as she entered the house, she would use the opportunity to go and collect her college form. She went straight to her room and entered the shower, after scrubbing her body with soap, she turned on the shower but to her shock, the shower only trickled and stopped working"What the..." She was
