"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
Bella stood in front of J. Nikolai Textile Ltd.It was a very big company just as Brittany had told her. This is just one of Nikolai Klaus's many companies and this one deals with textiles, he has several other companies that produce different products, she even heard he had one that produces skincare products and was also the owner of the biggest shopping mall in the country.The mysterious Nikolai Klaus whom many people have not seen, his mysteriousness is what intrigues her, and she finds herself wishing to run into him someday.She was directed to go to the HR office with her profile, she badly needed this job and really hopes she gets it. Since the shooting event, there haven't been any more attacks on her and she had been too shaken to leave the house in search of a job or anything and her husband has mostly been absent from home. She felt a dampening in her mood just thinking of how he had coldly shunned her on the day of the shoot-out like she goes about looking for who to sh
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
