Bella felt as if the floor had been snatched from beneath her and she grabbed the sofa to steady herself, otherwise, she was sure that her legs would give way"You want to get divorced?" She wheezed, he really wants to get rid of her and be with Joana?"You heard me, let's get divorced, I'll send you the divorce paper soon" Bella didn't say anything, she swallowed painfully, it was slowly sinking in that he didn't love her anymore. She was hopeful that he would forgive her but..."What did you want to discuss with me?" He asked impatiently"Huh" She stared at him for a moment, she couldn't tell him about the baby, he would be very angry with her or worse, would want to take her baby from her and give it to Joana to raise, "n... nothing" she replied and without even another glance at her, he walked straight to his room and shut the door behind him.Bella sank on the sofa, her brain was still processing what he had said, instinctively, she clutched her stomach protectively, some minute
Bella got to the bus station and boarded a bus, she would go very far away, as far away as possible. She had stopped at the salon and dyed her hair black, she wanted to start life afresh and did not want to recognize her nor link her to the past. This was the second time she was running away from her city because of a scandal and hopefully, this would be the last time.It was getting dark already as she settled herself in her seat, she touched her stomach, "I will protect you with everything that I have" she whispered fiercely as the bus slowly began to move She stared at the city one last time, part of her knew that she was leaving the love of her life behind and part of her would always be with him, that part died with him.She thought about her friend Brittany, she was getting closer to the day she would put to birth and Bella was supposed to be the godmother but alas! She would not be available to see her friend's child when she put to birth and she would never see her friend aga
Bella and Vivian's bond became so close that they could be passed off as sisters.Months went by and Bella's pregnancy was becoming pronounced, although, Mr. Fedor and Vivian were curious about what happened to her and the child's father, they made no mention of it to Bella and did their best to alleviate any stress for her.Bella woke up at dawn and decided to go on a sea ride with Mr Fedor's boat, she loves early morning boat rides.Despite being heavy with a child, it did nothing to dampen her habit of going out early morning on a boat ride."The tides are high and not pleasing for a boat ride" Mr Fedor informed her, "I'll advise you not to go out on a ride today"But Bella has been craving for it and she decided to go, she will not stay out there too long, just a few minutes and she will be back home Bella smiled as she went on her boat ride, the tides were just a little bit high but she could handle it"You see baby, I miss your Dad, I miss him a lot, I feel like he is just on t
Daniel stared at the paid girl sleeping beside him in his suite, he had been so drunk last night, he couldn't remember exactly what happened, he had seen the girl in his drunken state and for a moment he had thought it was Bella, Bella, how he missed his wife. The girl has the same blond hair just like Bella and is of the same height, in his haze, he had brought her to his suite, all the while, seeing Bella's face in hers. Seth rolled on his back as he stared at the sleeping stranger on his bed, now that he was sober, he could see that she looked nothing like Bella, the only similarity was the hair.Daniel has come to realize that Bella is never coming back, she must have moved on wherever she is, he was supposed to be moving on too, why the hell was he still thinking about her? He was going to divorce her anyway and she would go out of his life, so, why does it hurt that she left him? He tapped the girl sleeping on his bed and she moaned, opening her eyes, she blinked brown eyes at
Bella named her children Nicole and Nikolai, she decided to name them after their father, after all, they were all she had left of him.Nikolai was so much like his father and anytime she looked at him, she always thought of Daniel, these little pieces of him that were with her would not let her to forget him easilyNicole was petite and did fall sick from time to time, hence, making Bella to give her a special kind of attention.Jason proved to be a true friend when she put to bed, he bought a lot of gifts for her babies. Shoes, diapers, milk, clothes, one would think that he was their father.Although Bella told him to stop buying so much for them, he would always insist as he had gotten fond of her kids.Since the day that she had turned him down, he had not insisted on having a relationship with her again, they were cool to be just casual friends.Bella kept selling her fish and always worked hard to provide for her babies.One day, she was playing with her babies just outside her
Bella was called to school by Niko and Nikky's teacher, she was shocked that her son could raise his hand in another but was more curious about his reason, Niko was like his father in everything, he didn't just do something without a reason and she was sure the boy he had punched must have done something to him.But she asked to apologize so that they could go, she would ask him his reason for punching that boy later and tell him that violence is not the best option to solve issues"Niko, come in, apologize to Warren" To her surprise, her son just stood there without uttering a sound, he kept looking down and drawing invisible lines on the ground. Was her son going to disobey her?"Niko" she made her voice firmer"That's not fair, why do I have to apologize when he was the one who started it?" He quipped"You have to apologize because violence is not the solution to a problem, you should not have hit him""Niko did it because of me, Warren was saying that we do not have a Daddy and la
Bella paced in the hospital lobby, tears forming in her eyes, she wouldn't be able to take it if anything happened to her child"Mom, will Nikky be okay?" Niko asked from her side and she stared at her son and hugged him close to her"I believe so Niko, I won't be able to bear it if anything happens to you or Nikky, the two of you are my life"Nikky had always been a very fragile child from birth hence, Bella always paid special attention to her but in a few years as she was growing, she hadn't had any health issues for a while and Bella thought that her child was finally okay.Sometimes, she regrets not telling Daniel about her pregnancy but she has been so scared that he would take them away from her. At least they will be living a better life and not this life of always lacking something at home that she had to offer them. if only her children knew that their father was a billionaire and she had made them suffer this much, they might just not forgive herBella sighted Jason coming
Bella felt as if the ground had been snatched from under her, there must be a coincidence in the name of the hospital,"Do you mean Jenny Memorial in Venni City? She choked out and Dr Sam stared at her"I am glad that you already know the place, if you want your child to be there, it must be as early as possible".Bella thought back to the doctor's words as she arranged their clothes in a bag, they were going back to the city she ran away from, back to the city where she was scandalized and stoned, back to where she was once abused but more importantly, back to the place where Daniel Calvin resides.She wondered if it was possible that she would enter the city without him knowing, how would he react when he saw her? Was he still angry with her? What will happen if he gets to know about Niko and Nikky? He had always been hot-tempered and she could imagine his reaction already, he would try to take them away from her.Her stomach quivered with this thought and she shook it off, she was
lJoey had shot at the ground close to Daniel's leg and laughed out loud, "Not so fast Nikolai Klaus, I am not about to give you an easy death, you will have to watch while I kill your family""Leave my mother alone" Niko cried and before anyone could stop him, he ran to Joey and bit her hard on her leg"You brat" she yelled and kicked him off her but that distraction was enough for Daniel to act, he grabbed Bella away from Joey and just at that exact moment, Joey fired her gun at Bella but Daniel had pulled Bella behind him and he got shot instead"No!" Bella cried as another shot was fired at his belly by an angry JoeyBella sighted Daniel's gun lying beside him on the ground where he had kept it and without even contemplating about it, she picked it up and shot at Joey.Joey looked dazed and slowly turned towards Bella but another shot sounded from behind her. The bullet penetrated her skull and she fell down in a heapBella stood there, hands shaky on the gun she was still holding,
Bella jerked upright when her phone suddenly rang beside her, she had fallen asleep beside her phone on the chair while Daniel sat all night holding her and waiting for the caller.Daniel had tried to trace the number that had called Bella earlier but could not because the caller had used a disposable phone to call"Put it on speaker" he mouthed and Bella nodded"H...hello" "How does it feel to spend the night without your kids?" The caller asked"Terrible" Bella yelled in her head and fresh tears streamed down her cheeks, "Please do not do anything to my kids. I'm begging you"The caller laughed ruthlessly, Daniel tried to place the voice but could not, it sounded mechanical and they could not even tell if it was a male's voice or a female's voiceDaniel snatched the phone from Bella's hands, "What the hell do you want, who are you and why have you kidnapped my kids?" Daniel growled and there was a slight pause on the other end"I love how anguished you sound right now, oh! It just
Daniel pounded on Bella's door and she immediately threw it open as if she had been waiting for him"Where the hell are the children?" He asked angrily"Don't even pretend to me, you took them""Why the hell would I do that? Did you hide them with the hopes that I won't come and get them?" He clenched out and grabbed her chin, "Tell me where they are"Bella pushed him off, "I don't know...they went out to play and when I went to get them, they're nowhere to be found" she cried and tears escaped from the corners of her eyes, "if you didn't take them, then who did?"Daniel watched her anguished face for a moment, damn, she was being sincere, worry etched his face as he put a call to his men"Who could kidnap my kid? That's the danger of being associated with Nikolai Klaus, one of your enemies must have taken them""Your boyfriend could have taken them too" Daniel snapped as he shut his phone and Bella blinked at him for a moment"Jason? Why would he? Besides, we broke up and he has gone
Bella felt hot where his arms wrapped around her, she stared into those caramel eyes and felt lost for words.Daniel slowly raised her so that she was standing on her own feet, he swiped his hand across her lips"Oh Bella, what am I to do with you?" He murmured and replaced his hand with his lipsBella sighed as if she had been waiting for it. The world fell apart and they were both in their world. A world where only the both of them exist. Daniel Calvin will always be her downfall and worst distraction.What the hell am I doing? She asked and broke free from his kiss, they were both breathing hard as they stared hard at each other."I won't let you go Mrs. Isabella Calvin" he murmured as he traced his hands on her lips.Bella suddenly felt vulnerable and she quickly reined in her composure "We have separated already" she managed to whisper"Separated but not divorced, you didn't sign the divorce paper remember? Which means that before the law, we are still legally married"Bella blan
Bella rushed home from Daniel's office, what the hell did she just do with him? She had gone there to plead with him to leave her alone but she didn't even do that, she had given him her body instead.Unbidden, the moment he slid into her jumped into her head and she squeezed her legs together, the sensation of him, right there in her thighs felt like he had never left.He had said that he wanted her in his life, but she didn't need him in hers. He abandoned and humiliated her years ago when she needed him the most and left her pregnant, no, she cannot forget all that she went through. She does not need him now because she is doing just fine without him.She won't allow him to mess up her mind and emotions, if he wants to go to court, then so be it, she'll fight him in court."Bella, are you alright?" Jason asked as soon as she got home, he took one look at her and his face darkened with anger, "What did that bastard do to you?""Oh Jason," Bella said and wrapped her arms around him,
Bella came back from her outing with Jason and the kids, since Nikky's surgery, this was the first time they took her out and she was exhausted already, Bella had to come back home with her so that she could rest.Bella was about to open the door when she saw a paper on her doorpost, she quickly opened it and behold it was a court order waiting for her on her doorpost, her hand shook a bit as she read it, oh well, she already knew that Daniel was a man of his word and as he had threatened her with a lawsuit, he would pursue with the case.But she did not understand why she was still affected by it when she already knew him so well.She leaned on the doorpost to support her trembling feet and using the back of her hand, she wiped away the sweat that has suddenly formed on her forehead, her breathing was coming in a short gasp, damn, she was having a panic attack"Are you okay?" Jason rushed towards her and snatched the paper from her hand, his brow furrowed at just a glance of it, he s
Daniel couldn't stop thinking about his encounter with Bella, she was now a mother, birthing another man's baby.He wondered who that man was that was able to win her over very fast.His first reaction when he saw her was happiness, he was going to apologize for how he treated her back then but he changed his mind when he saw her with kids.His mind went to the little boy, he had eyes exactly like Bella's, he felt wistful and imagined that the boy was his.That Bella moved on so quickly was proof that she never loved him enough.His mood turned sour and he hated it that Bella suddenly showed up.**The surgery took hours and Bella sat apprehensively with Niko on the chair waiting for news of Nikky. Niko was already asleep on her lap when the doctor came and told her that the surgery was successful and Nikky had been wheeled into the ICU.She was not allowed to go inside the ICU so she just stared at her daughter's tiny frame through the glass.She didn't want to leave but she still
