Christabel's POV

Sitting in the ward, the constant sound of the heart monitor's harsh beeping penetrated my ears, making me squeeze the pale fingers in my hands tighter.

My eyes strayed onto Andre's sleeping figure on the bed, my heart aching at the sight of him.

His face was as pale as a sheet, his hair long and messily curled on the pillow.

On his face was a mask which allowed him to breathe.

A fog covered the mask as he breathed through an oxygen mask, his chest a slow rise and falling.

My eyes rested on his wrist, which was bandaged, a patch of blood appearing on the white material.

What were you thinking Andre?"

I felt my eyes sting, and I blinked to stop the water from falling.

Thinking of what happened that day was like a nightmare I wish to wake up from.

Coming to the apartment and finding Andre with his left wrist slashed, and a kitchen knife beside him was indescribable.

I remembered through my haze how I frantically ran into the apartment, not knowing what to do and it

I balled my fists, as I threaded through the dark street, the flickering light from a street lamp, obscuring my vision.It was late at night, but everything seemed like day to me. I pushed a wooden board out of the way, looking behind to see if there was anyone following before I went in. The room went dark as I closed the only source of light from getting in before walking in deeper. "Bobby is that you?" A deep voice sounded in the dark and I rolled my eyes in annoyance. Ignoring the question, I strolled deeper into the room only for me to stop, as he stood in front of me. "What do you want?" I growled, feeling a vein tick at the side of my neck. Through the dark, I saw him flinch, shaking his head as he backed away, probably recognizing my voice."S–sorry," he stammered, taking steps back.He should

    Christabel's POVI was at the bar, half drunk. I began to remember what had happened hours ago. My boyfriend, Joan, had suddenly become my ex and I had to drink my pain away. The only thing that could solve this was alcohol and I was going to take as much as possible.It was only a matter of time when a male stranger joined me where I sat. It was a private meeting for those of us and minutes into our discussion, I broke in tears as I still remembered how Joan had broken up with me hours before this incident. This was unexpected.“Take a chill pill…” the stranger said to me carefully. “It's and believe me, you will be fine. Time will heal you!”I was frustrated.“How do you know that? I don't think I will forget this…” I continued to cry. “I don't think I will ever…”He stopped me from talking by sealing my lips with one of his fingers. I was half drunk and I couldn't see properly but still, I could tell that he was handsome.Captivating!“Keep it cool…’’ he said slowly. “If you think

    Christabel's POV“All you need to do is sign a contract marriage deal with me!” Andre said softly. He looked towards me carefully.The suspense was all done but now, what came over me was being dazed at first. I was lost in accepting or rejecting this proposal.I knew a normal lady in this case would get angry and ask him if that's the reason he paid for all he bought but I was from a different breed. I was very realistic. I was shocked, truly, but not too shocked. I had not seen a contract marriage deal in my life but yes, I have read about a bunch of them.But this didn't mean I wasn't dazed.“Do you mean what you just said?” I asked him simply. I wanted to be sure that he wasn't playing pranks with me.“I mean what I said, Miss. Christabel,” Andre replied. “I am a busy man and if there is something I would never have time for, it is playing pranks. I have my documents ready and if you're ready, we will do the necessary.”“Wait…” I breathed in and out. I still couldn't believe this

    Christabel's POV Well, this was an unimaginable scenario. I would never have believed that such could happen to me. Definitely, we were all living in a small world and the unimaginable could happen. “Christabel!” Joan exclaimed. He was probably as shocked as I was. I breathed in deeply. I didn't know what to say or where to start explaining from. On a normal basis, I knew I shouldn't be explaining at all. I literally did nothing wrong but still, the pressure on me could make me start spewing rubbish. “Do you know her?” Andre asked. His facial expression read ‘worry’. This was going to be a serious issue. “Of course, I know her…” Joan told Andre. “She is my ex-girlfriend and we literally broke up a few weeks ago. When you said you were bringing in your wife, I expected something more.” “Wow!” Andre sighed deeply. I expected him to be disappointed but he actually wasn't. He turned to Joan now. “What is the main issue? You dated her, broke up with her, and I married her. It does

    Christabel's POV“Is everything okay, Andre?” I found myself asking as I walked closer to him. It bothered me that he was not telling me anything. Well, I wouldn't tell me anything if I were him. I'm a new person in his life and it must be pretty hard trusting people. I don't trust people either. “Fine. Nothing to bother your pretty head with, Belle.” He tapped my head, placed a kiss on my cheek and walked away. I was sad, I already knew he wasn't going to tell me anything so I wondered why I was not happy about it. This is not a familiar feeling, it was entirely different from what I felt when he told me he loved me. I went back to my room and just as I set my foot inside, my phone rang. I have nobody, so my phone was just for my former work. The number calling me looked unfamiliar and I contemplated whether to pick it or not. What if it was the guy that called my Andre? Am I not moving too fast by calling him mine? Whatever. “You must have something important to tell me if yo

I went to my grandma's old house.Before she died, she left the property in my name, and I was glad the house was still standing despite how wrecked it looked.Andre had somehow gotten wind of where I stayed but that was two days after.In my haste to get away from him, I cut off every trace that could lead him to where I was, but a McDonald was always a McDonald. Criminal or not, Andre braved through the streets, looking for me, and that touched me only a little.I squinted my eyes, hoping I could catch a glimpse of his figure on the porch, but he wasn't there.Andre had been coming for weeks without stopping, trying to talk to me, but nothing he said made sense to me. I was sure he was trying to make excuses. I wrapped my hands around myself, letting the curt

Calm down, Christabel.I exhaled through my lips, gripping the table as hard as I could, my knuckles going white."How dare you?!" The male's voice boomed through the wooden doors, echoing in the empty restaurant. I couldn't make do with what the woman said, but it riled the man up. "I gave you my trust, everything you needed, and this is how you repay me?"The man's shout caused me to jerk this time.My brows creased, and I couldn't help but narrow my eyes as I listened to the voice. "Listen, that shit you pulled in front of the media? You are going to take it down!" Was that Andre's voice?I squinted my eyes, my heart racing as I listened deeply."I can make you if you don't do as I say." The man growled, his voice a deep rumble through the restaurant.Oh gosh!

My heart was racing, and I felt my breath stuck against my throat as I thought of what today was. Today was D-day, meaning it had been two days since I met Jacqueline at the parking lot, and I still didn't dare to tell anyone. Clutching my bag, guilt washed over me.Andre had told everyone about meeting Bobby at the court, as well as the possible hand he had in the case while I kept quiet about mine.What was I to do anyway? I couldn't walk up to Andre and tell him I had made a deal— well, sort of, with Jacqueline.That would shatter him."Hey, get off the road!" An angry yell came from behind me, causing me to snap out of my daze. Hurriedly, I apologized to the red-faced man who had bags of groceries in his hands, before making way for him as he cursed while moving.Si

I closed my eyes, running my hand tiredly in my face. Meeting Jacqueline had drained the energy out of me.Since the news of what Jacqueline said on television had caught the attention of the media, we had decided it was best to move. It wasn't Adam's mansion but one of Andre's.He had bought a small apartment in one of his friend's estate— although I have no idea who that friend was. I unlocked the door, closing it with a bang as I stepped into the apartment.The apartment was huge, facing a wonderful landscape.Andre had planned to surprise me with this apartment for our honeymoon, but that was also destroyed by Bobby's incessant butting in. Pushing the door open, the door closed with a gentle click.I walked into the apartment and saw the light in the living room on. Was Andre back? I dropped the keys into the key tray a
