Bella stared at her reflection in the mirror, she was quite eye-catching and the dress fit her quite well. She had to admit that Daniel's mother had quite a good fashion sense. The dress was an off-shoulder long black dress with silver designs that showed off her slim waist and accentuated her baby-blue eyes. Daniel had given her the dress along with a simple silver necklace and matching earrings, a silver shoe, and a purse to match so that she was now dressed in all black and silver and the effect stunned her. She had always known that she was beautiful but never knew that a simple dress could add to that beauty. She applied very light makeup and smiled at herself, pleased with how she looked.Walking out of her room, she had to go slowly because she wasn't exactly used to wearing heels but she was grateful that she could at least walk in these otherwise, it would be too sad not to put on such a beautiful pair of shoes."You look beautiful" Daniel's voice came from behind her. His vo
Bella was seated alone worrying about Brittany and was wondering where she took him, probably to the washroom"Hello gorgeous" A raspy voice whispered in her ears sending goosebumps all over her body."Nikolai Klaus" she whispered just as he came into view, he was putting on a black fitted suit and a mask that covered his face but Bella could not deny that he looked mouth-watering. She frowned at her trail of thought but still, she was very happy to see him. "How come you are seated all alone?" "I was here with my friend but she probably went to the washroom with my boss" she replied"I'm glad to see that you are alone" he rasped and gently took her hand, he placed a kiss on the back of her hand.Bella's breath whooshed out at the sensation of his lips on her hands, her heartbeat thundered in her ears and she frowned at her reaction. It's not possible to feel the same way about two people right? Because this is exactly how she feels with Daniel."Er...I have something for you" she s
The music stopped and Nikolai gently took her hand and led her outside. Here they have more privacy and time to talk, he took her to a carved chair and they both sat on it "I can see that you have feelings for me, do not even try to deny it and I must confess that I have feelings for you too""But I am married" she replied"But you said that you don't love him, that means you can easily leave him""It's not that simple, if a divorce happens to us, it will be after a year because that was our agreement""Are you saying that after a year you'll divorce him to be with me?""I...I... don't know. I have to go" Confusion etched her face as she stood up to leave but he pulled her back so that she fell against him and his lips caught hers but it was only for a moment before she pushed him away"In as much as I have feelings for you, I do not plan on cheating on my husband, not now and not ever" She angrily pushed away from him and stomped off, too angry and agitated to notice the smear of li
Bella heard the whispers as soon as she entered the office, some of the staff were gathered in groups and some even dared to point fingers at her "She is definitely the boss' mistress, he even took her to yesterday's function" she heard someone whispered and she frowned in confusion, "what are they talking about? They think she is a mistress to their boss?" She thought, angry that they would even think such a thing about her.She battled with herself whether to confront them or not and decided not to, let them think whatever they want"Bella, I need you in my office now" Ollie called her, his voice was somehow cold towards her and his eyes were lacking the usual warmth each time they greeted her. She stood up and followed him into his office."I can't believe what I am hearing Isabella, you're sleeping with the boss? I thought you were married?""How can you even believe what they are saying about me? Yes, I am married and no I am not sleeping with the boss""How do I believe you? The
Bella slowly opened her eyes, she had fallen asleep shortly after Nikolai had left and at first felt confused when she had opened her eyes, "Nikolai" she called when she opened her eyes to see Daniel standing with his back to her and staring outside the window.He turned around when he heard her voice, "I'm sorry but it's not Nikolai""Daniel, I'm glad that you're here" she murmured and sat up and he went close and sat on a stool close to her"Are you really glad or you're still hoping to see Nikolai""It's you I want to see not Nikolai" she replied"I know, I was kidding" Daniel's eyes softened as he stared at her, of course, he knew how she felt about him and she had chosen him over Nikolai.She had chosen her poor and broke husband over a billionaire, his heart swelled with emotions and he did not need anyone to tell him that he had fallen for his wife. He hoped to get his revenge soon so that he could tell her who he was. He will tell her that she has gotten married to a billionai
Bella stretched lazily and slowly opened her eyes and it landed on Daniel who was still sleeping. Memories of what happened between them filled her head and her toes coiled at the thought of it. She does not know what to do or how to react in the aftermath of his lovemaking, will he wake up and act cold towards her? She better go to her room.She sat up on the bed but his hand suddenly snapped out from the duvet and helped her into place"Planning to run away wifey?" He asked and his hand covered one breast"You're awake" she responded weakly as her nipples grew into hard pebbles against his palmHe chuckled at her question and simply stretched her legs apart and slid into herBella gasped at the feel of him and all feelings of awkwardness fledHe began moving slowly, in and out of her, "you're so damn sweet" he said fiercely as he increased his tempo. Pumping in and out of her Bella matched every one of his moves.She was like a wanton, craving for more and more of him, her hips move
Bella was aghast by what Daniel was trying to do right in the office of Nikolai Klaus, what if Nikolai Klaus walked in and saw the both of them making out in his office? He will fire the both of them for sure and they will both end up not having a job."Daniel no" she murmured and pushed against him but his hand sneaked into her cloth and caressed her clitoris, she meowed in pleasure, losing the last strand of her strength to push him away, "Nikolai might walk in" she managed weakly just as his other hand cup her breast through her cloth and she pushed into his palms with a moan while he only managed the "mmmmm" sound at her words."I want to have you, right here in this office so that anytime I am here, the memory of it will be all I see""But..." She started but he turned her around so that she had her arms against the table and she stopped resisting as he slid off her panties, raising her skirt up so that it was around her waist, he shifted her legs and slid into her from behind.
"Boss, we are being followed by another cab," Oliver said from the driver's seat, he was the one that came to pick Daniel up.Daniel checked the rearview mirror and saw the cab taking every turn they made, he wondered who it was"Drive to the point where there is a CCTV so that Vincent can check out who is following me" he instructed his driver who nodded and did exactly as his boss had ordered,"Vincent, check out the cab on lane 4 CCTV, send me the picture of whoever is tailing me" he instructed through his cell phone.Vincent is a tech guy working for him, he is a very fine hacker and does even more than hacking, Daniel had seen this talent in Vincent early and had brought him into the fold, he paid him well and Vincent had no reason to worry.Daniel opened his message when it beeped and his eyes widened in surprise, his wife was tailing him. His lips twisted in a wry smile, "turn to your left" he told the Oliver"Who was that boss?" Oliver asked as he turned the steering to the le
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
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
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
