BELLATRIX....

My heart was racing as I glanced at my phone, which lay a foot or two away from me, feeling completely confused.

How did Roy find this?!

I know for a fact that both my kidnappings were Florence's scheming against me. At first, I only thought she wanted me away for a particular time so she could gain sympathy and become Neil's fiancée.

My heart, however, shuddered when I realized in the hospital that her sole motive was to kill me at any cost. If not for Victor that day, her desperate wish might have come true by now.

I once again turned my gaze to the phone and slowly took it in my shaky hand. Since I've returned to my biological parents, I have never shared my ill luck with Roy or Mama; I did not want to burden them with my miseries anymore, which I successfully failed to do.

But how did he manage to get this evidence? Was he following me? Then why did he never mention it before?

I was wondering about many things when my phone started ringing, breaking my th

    BELLATRIX.... An hour later, we were still in the shopping mall. Stella was shopping, or more precisely, she was warming up by looking at clothes, and soon she would start her main shopping. Now only God knows when that time would come! I, on the other hand, looked at a few tags on some clothes and bought three sets of formal clothes. I don't find it sensible to use Victor's card anymore, as it feels like I've used enough. After getting a job, I'll return to him whatever I used from his card. "This would suit you!" Stella said suddenly, holding a long dark red dress. "Backless, with a slit from mid-thigh," I murmured before clapping slowly. "Wow, you're aware of my taste too well!" I said sarcastically. She scoffed, "Would you say this to your husband too?" There was a faint smirk on her lips. I shuddered, realizing her words... Husband? I definitely wanted that, but with Neil, which would never happen now. I took the dress from her hand and put it back in its place. "I've alre

    BELLATRIX.... "She's here..." Giana murmurs. "What, you work here?" There is a mockery in her tone. "It won't be surprising at all; after all, she married a poor man," Florence sneers. "He can't obviously support her demonic appetite." "You're right! I'm so glad brother changed his decision in the end! Look at her; what way does she look capable of being in our family? Only Florence can do justice to the name of Ryders," Giana says proudly. "I'm glad," I murmur with a frown, and I mean it. Florence and Neil complement each other strongly. I wonder how I remained so blind to not see the 'mind-blowing' similarities between them! "Oh! Is that so?" Giana arched her brow. "Everyone knows you're jealous of Florence and tried to hurt her many times. When your plan failed, including marrying Neil, you desperately turned to Victor and married a nobody!" She laughs. "Excuse me," I said, not wanting to entertain them anymore. "Hold up, you slut, where are you running away?" Giana hissed,

    VICTOR.... "This year, our profit has increased by double the amount from last year, with 'Go-Food' and 'Yums,' both of which generated around 50 billion dollars in profit together...." I raised my hand, and President Samuel stopped as all eyes turned to me. I, on the other hand, was staring at the statistical digits on the huge screen in the meeting room: "41.79 billion dollars and 8 billion dollars. 'Yums' gave way less than 'Go-Food.' They have consistently shown us low profits for the last three years, and this is highly unacceptable." Samuel licked his dry lips. "Vice Chairman, we are trying to increase the profit, and they successfully raised 2 billion dollars in the last two years." "And all those profits were wasted on advertising their products, which showed me their zero increment in profit this year, whereas Go-Food gave us extra profits." I raised an eyebrow and lowered my head. "Yes, sir," he murmured. "There is no doubt that Go-Food is the profit earner. Start the

    VICTOR.... I stared at her, unable to move. She was slowly backing away from me and turned around. "You must leave, Victor. You shouldn't have come here in the first place." Does she know the consequences of leaving her alone? She might not, but I do, and there is no way I'll leave her here in this prison. "I won't, Bellatrix. Come with me," I said firmly. She should trust me for the sake of those times when I saved her. She froze at my answer and turned to me. "Why are you being stubborn? Just leave, Victor." Anguish enveloped her voice, and fear sparked in her gaze. "They'll hurt you! I'm their daughter, and they did not bother about me, so think about what they will do to you! So, it's better for you to leave, Victor." I don't know whether to appreciate her bravado or scold her for her foolishness. Slowly, I approached her. This time she did not move, but her eyes were begging me to leave. I always liked this about her—her eyes are so expressive. "I won't leave without you,"

    BELLATRIX.... He is gone just like that; he did not even look behind. Did I anger him too much? But how was it my fault? I did not instigate the fight, nor did I intentionally hurt Florence. For God's sake, I have no idea how she ended up getting hurt! "Ma'am..." A sudden call broke my thoughts as I blinked and noticed Mathew. He was looking at me worriedly. "Are you alright, ma'am?" he asked. Suddenly, I realized I was still in the car and quickly shook my head. "Uh—n-nothing. Good night, Mathew," I said, stepping out of the car. At the entrance, the servants greeted me, startling me in the process. Back in the Valdez Villa, I wasn't greeted by the servants and was not used to their respectful response; therefore, I need to get used to it now. I smiled at them slowly and walked up to my room with no trace of Victor. I wonder where he went? In his room, perhaps. Wait... we would have separate rooms, right? Several questions started roaming around in my head. Pacing in the r

    BELLATRIX... I gasped. Shit! I forgot about Grandpa Gregory's birthday, tangled in my own shit. "Uhm, I—I almost forgot about this day; I didn't even prepare a gift for him," I murmured, feeling guilty. Frankly, Grandpa Gregory is the only person in Neil's family who has never judged me so openly. Although I'm not quite sure about his opinion of me, he was never rude to me; instead, he always showed kind gestures. So, forgetting his special day felt like a wrong move on my part. "I should go and buy something for him," I said, turning to Victor for his approval; after all, for now, I'll have to use his money. He slowly stood up, maintaining his elegance. Not owning anything, this man always seemed to own a lot; his elegance and domineering aura give a powerful vibe, unlike the reality of an ordinary man. "Don't be bothered; I've taken care of that part," he replied with his usual cold tone before putting on his suit and walking away. Suddenly, he paused, turning his head to me. "

    BELLATRIX... Both Neil and I gasped in unison. The way he stood firmly beside me was as if he were claiming his territory. The air turned colder, his beautiful eyes blazing at Neil, as if they wished to burn him. Neil frowned, his gaze settling on my waist, which gave me mixed feelings. What is he staring at? Does it hurt his extreme pride that I chose Victor instead of him? "What the fuck? Why are you holding her that way?" He glared at Victor, whose hands tightened on my waist even more. His brow raised, a cold smirk played on his sexy lips. "Why not? After all, she is my legally married wife." "What?" Neil was shocked. The way his eyes widened in disbelief suggested he was unaware of our marriage. Why is he surprised? Didn't his favorite fiancée inform him already? I wonder. "Turns out, you have no idea," Victor murmured before withdrawing his hand from my waist and holding my hand. I looked down at our hands; my little hands fit perfectly in his grip.... "Wh-when di

    VICTOR... As we both stared at each other, Uncle Ambrose pulled back his wife. "Calm down, darling. We can continue this later, not now." There was a faint smirk on his face. Anyone new would think he was supporting me, but I know better than anyone else that man could do anything for power and to prove himself. I feel a soft touch on my hand and looked beside me; her beautiful hazel orbs are full of innocence that makes me numb. She, for some reason, makes me unsettled and conflicted. My emotions flow independently, as if I were never in control. And tonight, my body reacted along with my emotions when I saw her for the first time in the evening. The way that dress hugs her figure and kisses her curves makes me feel strangely suffocated. I've always been in command of my desires, but she... Weirdly enough, she's breaking it for me. Neither could I get close to her, nor could I back away; I'm in very deep shit. "You okay?" she asked softly. I swallowed hard. Why are her gen

    ONE YEAR LATER.... BELLATRIX.... I stood in the bathroom, my body shivering, and drops of tears rolling down my cheeks... No, I'm not hurt; I'm emotional, and this feeling... It's beyond any joy and fear I could ever feel. I stared at the two pink lines on the pregnancy kit. Yes, I'm pregnant again. I sobbed loudly, and suddenly the door of the bathroom swung open, revealing my anxious husband, who was waiting outside. He rushed inside. "Wh-what is it?" He was worried and nervous too. I felt so weak and sat on the toilet seat, showing him the kit. One glance at it, and he froze. Slowly, he bent down beside me, watching the kit. He looked up at me, his eyes teary... "Is it a yes?" I nodded. "Y-es." I choked on my tears, smiling and crying at the same time. As soon as I confirmed my pregnancy to him, he dropped his head on my thigh and started crying. It was the same emotion for him. "We are... pregnant," he spoke between his tears, and I nodded. I hugged his head as we shed t

    BELLATRIX.... I inhaled a deep breath before stepping inside the funeral home. I had avoided this topic after Victor informed me about her death two days ago. However, I came today for her funeral.Why? Well, I don't even know myself.I felt nothing for her anymore. The tie I had with her was brutally severed. Still, I wanted to see her, which was pretty surprising for me too.As usual, Victor accompanied me.Stepping inside, I walked toward her coffin. I saw her daughter, Florence, was there too, with police officers guarding her.The mother and daughter had both been sentenced to fourteen years of imprisonment.Seeing me, she tried hard to rush to me, but the officers did not let her. She glared at me hatefully. I knew that if she got a chance now, she would kill me. Well, unfortunate for her, I am not available for that.She was dragged away by the officers as I ignored her and looked at Rebecca's coffin. Her face was pale and slightly bluish. There was no charm on her face anymor

    VICTOR.... Life wasn't the same after the truth was revealed. My always-smiling little bird isn't the same anymore... She smiles, but the pure charm she had is no longer in her.It's been a couple of months since all the miseries, cruel truths, and heartbreaks, and Bella was the one hurt the most during that time, which changed her a lot.After returning home and seeing her mother that day, she only asked me two things: 1. To give Lucia's mother a standard life.She did not want that lady to suffer because of what her daughter did. Her mother did not know about Lucia's crime, and when she learned, she cried and asked for forgiveness again and again. She did not ask to free her daughter, though. Perhaps she too realized the severity of her daughter's actions.And 2. Bella demanded to keep Florence and Rebecca separate and never let them know about each other. She wanted Rebecca to suffer, which I obliged gladly. After that day, she did not speak about them, nor about her biological m

  • Mr Billionaire, I Married You Accidentally!!!   116. The hard confession...

    BELLATRIX.... The revelation was hard, yet nothing is harder than losing a child. Perhaps because I have digested the shock of losing my child, I did not react harshly toward the unsaid truth.This taught me one truth, though. Now I know why my father used to be the one caring for me. Now I know why he wanted to see me on his deathbed and not Florence, because I was his biological daughter. I do not justify his actions, though; I never will..."Baby, we are here," Victor said to me, breaking my thoughts.I turned to him in a daze. "Huh?""We have reached here," he said again.I looked out of the car window. We are at the same investigation center. Our chauffeur opened the door, and we stepped out of the car."They are here?" I asked as my husband held my hand."Hmm. They have been brought for investigation..." He turned to me. "Are you sure you want to see them?" I squeezed his hand, locking our gazes. "Don't worry, I am fine... My mother taught me to face the hardest phases of life

    BELLATRIX.... Is he joking? That's the first line that came into my head. I sharply looked at his face; there was no trace of humor there; instead, worry and fear lingered on his features.My heart twisted strangely... That means he did not lie.When I said nothing, he touched my face. "Baby, calm down. What I am about to tell you won't be easy."I swallowed hard. At this point, I am numb, but I want to know. "O-kay..." I replied breathlessly."Bella, Mrs. Valdez is not your biological mother. She did not give birth to you. But... Mr. Valdez is your biological father," he said, dropping another bomb over my head.My mouth agape, my gaze blankly watched him.He sighed, caressing my neck. "It does not end here, Bella. There are many more. Do you want me to continue? Or do you want to see for yourself?" He gestured at the file. I once glanced at it and gulped hard again. The idea of my life being imprinted in that file did not please me; in fact, it was scarier. I shook my head, "No, y

    BELLATRIX.... "The person who wanted to kill you is your mother."As soon as those words left her tongue, I fell backward. The door of the room swung open at the same time as I heard hasty footsteps getting closer to me, and before I realized it, I was caught back in a pair of strong and familiar arms.I stared at her, dumbfounded. When she said that, I would never have imagined 'the person' she referred to; she did not lie. I would have never envisioned this, even in my nightmares!"What?" I asked, breathless."I did not lie," she muttered, hugging her knees. "She and her daughter threatened me that if I failed to kill you, they would hurt my mother... And now, I have failed," she sobbed.I don't know whether I should be happy about the fact that she told me or go into shock again; I have no fucking idea.I was in a daze when I was pulled back by my husband. He had already picked me up in his arms and started walking out, muttering, "I shouldn't have let you in here alone. Fuck!"Wa

  • Mr Billionaire, I Married You Accidentally!!!   113. The true culprit...

    BELLATRIX.... I look up at my husband, to whom I could not look since yesterday. How can I even look at him after breaking his dream like that? I have failed him, failed myself, and most importantly, I have failed as a mother.I could not protect my child. I trusted the wrong person, and now... my heart clenches at the reminder of that moment. Exactly right here, it happened.Victor stared at me; his beautiful green eyes held many emotions."Will you take me?" I ask again, hoping that he'll take me to her. Though I am not sure if she is alive or not.He raised his hand and touched my cheeks, slowly caressing them with his thumb. "Of course, whatever you wish."He took me out, and we sat in our car. Lucia was kept in an interrogation cell with high security. Of course, Victor used his power here, and none can blame him for that. She's the killer of our unborn baby. However, surprisingly, she is still alive but beaten very badly. She was arrested and sent to the interrogation room, wi

    VICTOR.... "Open your mouth." Stella held a slice of apple in front of Bella's mouth. Slowly, without a word, she took the slice and chewed on it.I was watching her, standing on the other side of the hospital room. I was on a call, yet my focus was on my wife.Twenty-four hours had passed since she came out of that nightmare, still in a daze but much better than before. However, after she woke up and cried, she did not speak in the last twenty-four hours, as if she had lost her voice.Doctors said that it's due to the aftershock, but soon she would be fine. The main danger is gone; it's now upon her adaptability. We must be patient and give her enough time to adjust.Feeling frustrated, I turned around and left the room. It's hard to see her this way; I just can't.I walked out into the huge garden of the hospital, where the patients were walking, some maybe talking with their family members. I chose a quiet place and sat on a bench.I rubbed my face. I am not quite sure how to hand

    BELLATRIX.... "Mommy." I heard a baby voice ringing in my ear. I looked around; where is she? I don't see anyone. "Mommy, don't you see me?" Her voice was soft. "No, where are you?" I shouted. "Mommy, please, come to me." She said again as I started running nowhere. "Where are you?" I screamed. Suddenly, I found myself on the stairs. In front of me was... "Lucia!" Her eyes were evil. She stepped toward me. "I'm sorry," she said, and then pushed me. "No!" My voice echoed in the hollow. My eyes flew open, and a heavy breath escaped me as I was greeted by a pure white ceiling. Wh-where am I? Am I stuck in nowhere? Am I dead? I was confused. I looked around. Everything around me was either white or off-white. There was a monitor beside the bed, beeping continuously, and a wire attached to the back of my hand. It took me a while to realize my surroundings. I am in the hospital. I look around again; I am alone in the room. How did I end up here? I tried to recall, and some vag
