Everything happened in a blink of an eye, Alicia who was trying to kiss Alex found herself on the floor when he pushed her off. She hurt her waist, she cried out loud but Alex didn't even pay any attention to her.He rushed out of the mansion and took his car, hoping to find Isabella outside. Alex drove out in a jiffy, Isabella was gone and he noticed the taxi from a distance.The estate barely had taxi's coming in, maybe she had booked him beforehand. Isabella was such a smart woman. How could he just hurt her that way?Alex was hating himself for doing that. He drove as fast as he could to catch her. The little taxi was no match for his Mercedes Maybach in speed and in no time, he caught up to them.The taxi came to an abrupt stop, almost making Isabella fall. She was lost in thoughts, she didn't even know what was going on. Alex blocked them, the taxi driver was unable to drive off. He stepped out of his car and came to get her. Isabella soon realized what was happening as the who
Around 9 p.m., Alex entered into Isabella's bedroom. He had a spare key made after she forced him to break the door the other day. He decided not to act babaric and gently go inside by using the keys.Even when he knew that she didn't want to see him, Alex went to meet her regardless. Isabella was already asleep, Alex brought food for her. She hadn't eaten anything since.He sat down near her on the bed and he pulled open the duvet from her body. To his surprise, the person on the bed wasn't Isabella. There was no one on the bed unless a huge patch of clothes and pillows.He had been tricked by that little woman! Alex jerked up from the bed. He couldn't believe that she still had it in mind to escape even after he begged.Alex rushed out of the room, he immediately made phone calls and asked the estate securities to look out for her. By the time he reached downstairs, he saw Isabella entering inside the living room.She seemed to be coming from outside the mansion. Alex couldn't contr
Isabella arrived at the office with a cup of coffee and two doughnuts, enough to Sustain her for the day. She took her seat on her chair, ignoring the mess made on her desk.Isabella turned to the drawer at the corner and she brought out the mobile phone she had put in video mode to record everything that happened while she was away.When she watched the video, Isabella saw that it was Dahlia who attacked her table as expected. She smiled, Dahlia was so gullible and easy to read.Isabella was always ahead of her so she came prepared. Isabella checked the files which Dahlia had destroyed. She went through them and she smiled.They were nothing but unimportant old files which she had purposely kept there to lure Dahlia into revealing her true self. Isabella leaned down and opened the lower drawer, bringing out the original papers Dahlia was meant to destroy.Afterwards, she heads out to submit them in the management office. Since Alex wasn't around, she was supposed to submit them to hi
Alex stared at the fragile woman on the bed as he returned from getting the first aid kit to attend to her wounds.Isabella didn't speak a word to him since he arrived from the office. She didn't expect to see him, she was pleased but at the same time having mixed feelings. This wasn't the first time that he'd come and save her.Alex took his seat near her, he cupped her face in his palms and rubbed it gently. "Are you alright?" He asked her, she smiled as she shrugged her shoulders. Isabella didn't know the words to respond to him.She was aching all over but dared not say a word to him about it. She had seen how cruel Alex could be with anyone who hurt her and she wouldn't want the blood of those bodyguards to be on her hands."Isabella, talk to me. I hate it when you keep mute" Alex stated.It took Isabella a few seconds before she could speak. It was then Alex noticed that she had been slapped by those men. The tiny bruise on her delicate face wasn't visible to him until that time
Isabella and Alex could be seen having dinner in the evening, not long after they began eating, Alex got a phone call, he peaked at the caller ID and when he saw that it was Alicia, he didn't pick it up.He ignored and continued to eat his meal with the beautiful woman sitting in front of him. Isabella noticed his attitude and then she asked. "Why aren't you taking your calls?" "Because it's no one important so do not worry" Alex picked the phone and turned it off then resumed eating with Isabella. He noticed that she was distracted, so he asked her. "What's the problem? Do you have something to tell me?" Isabella nodded quickly. "Yes, Alex. I do have something to say. I'm not sure how to put it" "Just say it, you know I can't say no to you unless it involves you leaving me. I'll keep saying no to that because you're mine" he stated coldly. His words sent chills down Isabella's spine. She was his and only his. It meant that she would never have her liberty from him.She pretende
The next morning,Isabella left for work very early, even when there was barely anything for her to do at the office, she just wanted to leave the house. She couldn't stand staying in the same house with Alicia.Last night, she heard from the maids that Alexander allowed Alicia to move into the mansion with them. Isabella wasn't happy about it but she didn't want to cause them any trouble.She knew how malicious Alicia could be and she didn't want to get to face her so sh decided to leave at a time when no one would see her.When she got to the office, Isabella had breakfast. She ate chocolate flavored bread and coffee. The day was still very early and there was barely anybody in the company, only the cleaners.Isabella thought about moving out of Alex's mansion for a while. She couldn't stand living with a man who hasn't gotten over his ex girlfriend moreover being with him.Isabella felt disturbed by it, it made her feel like she snatched Alex from Catalina. As long as Alicia, who w
Isabella was done with work for the day and she got prepared to leave. After arranging her table and turning off her computer, Isabella grabbed her purse and left.It was about 7:30 p.m. when she left the office to get a cab outside. The day had just started to get dark, Isabella waited for a few minutes and didn't get a taxi so she began to walk forward, hoping to get a taxi at the front.Isabella soon noticed a car pull aside and stopping near her, she looked at the car and already realized whom it belonged to.Only Alexander Hunt had this kind of customized car in the whole of the city."Get in," Alex instructed her. Isabella leaned properly so she could see him.Beside Alex, was Alicia sitting on the front seat with him. She was dressed in a short gown with her legs spread out seductively.Although Alex didn't look at her, Isabella felt uncomfortable getting in to ride with them. "It's fine, I'll just take a taxi." Isabella explained and she continued to walk.Alex wouldn't take n
Later at night, Alex came with dinner for Isabella. Immediately he opened the door, he sighted the woman who wrapped herself on the bed with the duvet. He could still hear her sobbing.Alex went to her and he gently dropped the food on the desk beside her. He also took his seat. Isabella noticed all the movement happening around her but she ignored them."I brought you dinner. You must've had a long day at work today, Bella" Alex said, touching her back but she immediately jerked up and pushed him away."Stay away from me, Alex! Go away please! I do not want to see you, get out of this room now" Isabella yelled at him.Alex tried to get her to eat dinner, he carried the tray and placed it on his legs and was about to feed her. Isabella stared at the delicious plate of dumplings and soup which were a part of her favorite foods, however, at that moment, nothing interested her. She just didn't want to see Alex or be around him. Isabella was forced to despise Alec because of the way he a
ONE YEAR LATER“No. Not that but you can have this one though. Here you go.”“Mum noooo. I want the yellow one and not pink.” “Happy birthday my princess.” Alex said walking in with balloons.He picked Laura up as she ran to give him a hug before snapping yellow sunglasses on her eyes.“Your first gift of the day.” He said to Laura, placing a kiss on her cheek.“Thank you daddy! I love it!.” She exclaimed.“You were out early today.” “Yes baby. Had to get flowers and lots of chocolates for my princess.” Alex replied.Laura gasped. “Chocolates?!.” She asked excitedly.Alex nodded his head and Laura scrambled out of his hold, running out of the room in the direction of where her chocolates were kept. He smiled as he watched Laura run off before moving to give his wife a hug and then a kiss on her lips.“Happy Anniversary baby.” Alex said.“Happy Anniversary to you too love.” Bella replied with a broad smile on her face as she sealed her lips with Alex’s in a passionate kiss.“How’s ou
“And please I’ll like to have the decorations redone. It’s for our wedding.” Alex said to the wedding plannner he had made come to the hospital.It was past three months now and still Bella was yet to wake up. Every day Alex came to the hospital and he would stay with Bella until night came or it was time to get back to Laura. Other than that, he did everything he wanted in Bella’s room at the hospital. From work to eating and then his special time which was reading Bella a book or telling her stories of how fast their daughter Laura was growing.Laura had surprised him tremendously after she was discharged from the hospital. He had decided to get her a private teacher when he saw how fast she caught on things and the way she pronounced her words. She wasn’t the average growing child and he sensed it.He was proud at how fast she grabbed things and how intelligent and outspoken she had become. Alex had been weary of Laura turning into a closed off chuld due to the things she’s had to
The police parked their cars far away from the address so they wouldn’t attract attention. They all hid in the nearby bushes, including Alex as they waited for Catalina to come outside.Alex kept glancing at his watch impatiently. He was sure without doubt that Catalina was still inside. He stood tall when he saw a glimpse of Catalina through the windows.Alex drew out his gun, cocking it and keeping his finger on the trigger. He was aware that he had no right to shoot but he didn’t care at that moment. He was determined to kill Catalina once and for all. He didn’t want her to be arrested and go to a jury where she would spend the rest of her life in jail. He wanted her in hell where she rightfully belonged because she had come after his innocent daughter.“Alex? You using that?.” Alex’s friend asked him, cocking his head to the side.“We’re friends. I expect you to cover my back after I gun this damn bitch down.” Alex said spitting on the floor.His friend had known him for a long ti
Bella drove like a maniac on the road as she followed the map leading to the address Catalina had sent her. She kept praying in her mind that her daughter was save.She tried calling Catalina but the line would not connect which only made her fear heighten. She wished Alex was with her as he would have found a way to calm her down but still Bella knew she had to be brave and strong for the sake of her daughter.It broke her heart each time she thought about how scared Laura was with Catalina. She tried to distract herself from thinking negative as she arrived the address Catalina had sent her. Since Catalina wasn’t taking any of her calls, she decided to text her.Immediately a text message came from Catalina, instructing her on what to do. Bella came down from the car with the duffel bag headed straight for the apartment Catalina had asked her to walk into.The apartment was situated at the end of the street and looked like a normal house but one would not know her child was being h
When Catalina was little, she had always felt unimportant. Her parents adored Alicia her twin sister because she was exceptionally brilliant and as they grew up, Catalina discovered Alicia had a more sculptured features which made her stand out.It made her hate being seen with Alicia because anyone who saw them together would always point out that they could easily identify the two of them tho they were identical twins. The thing was Alicia had a smooth, perfect nose with plump lips, whereas Catalina had a little bump on the nose with thin lips.It was weird because even with her thin lips, when she stared at herself in the mirror, she looked like Alicia as much as Alicia looked like her.Catalina decided she didn’t want to be a part of Alicia anymore when they finished high school and when she had gotten into college and began to date the handsome men, it was a boost to her ego and the reason was because Alicia with all her beauty never got asked out.If Catalina could recall vividl
Adam sneezed out as his eyes opened gradually. He was still in the warehouse he had been kidnapped and kept in for days. He still could not believe Victoria would go to the extent of kidnapping him. Scratch that. He didn’t even believe she was capable of planning something so evil.He groaned out when he felt his hair being dragged so painfully that it hurt his scalp.It was Victoria.“Does that hurt?.” She asked him while smiling.Adam groaned out. “Victoria. Pllee…please.” Adam begged.Victoria let go of his hair, kicking him on the leg with her red bottom heels.Adam eyed how sharp the pencil heel was and wondered how she could conveniently stand on that while still inflicting pain on him. Victoria was one mistake he wished he had never made in his life.“What do you want Vicky? What? Is it money? I’ll give you loads of it. Please just let me go.” Adam begged with his hands clasped together.Victoria chuckled. “You think that’s what I want? Money? If I need more money, I could just
Loud crunching could be heard in the room and with each loud crunch was the diminishing of a big bag of hot Cheetos which laid beside Isabella, her eyes focused on the TV.She smiled sheepishly as Alex walked into the room with a tray filled with fruits in hand. He looked disapprovingly at Bella for eating snacks, especially since he had warned her she wasn’t fully recovered to eat unhealthy things.“You should not be eating that.” Alex said sternly, taking the Cheetos away from Bella.Bella laughed out loudly at first but gave a pout when she saw Alex was serious about taking her snacks away from her.“I’m fine. Please give them back. Pretty please.” She pleaded.Alex huffed, shaking his head at her as his eyes lingered over her. He still could not believe he had gotten so lucky to have her as his woman. He was filled with happiness and love that they were about to live happily forever. Just him, her and their little girl.“I will if you take the veg mix drink you’ve been refusing t
Two days later Bella was discharged from the hospital and Alec drove her home himself, he couldn't wait for them to get to the mansion so he could show her the plans he had for her, the extreme care and love he'd always wanted to show her unconditionally.On their way back, he received a text from Ciara who narrated that she couldn't get a train back to the city from her end, making her unable to bring Laura on that day not until the next two days. Although he missed Laura, Alex was a bit relieved because he didn't want Laura to return to meet a sick mother or meet Bella looking pale. He was hoping that with his care, in two days time, Bella would recover so that Laura wouldn't ask questions or become curious.So many things had happened in the last few days , Bella fell sick, Adams got missing, and his father died. He didn't even feel sorry for Adams or his father but Bella, who was his top priority, affected him deeply and he hoped that it'd never happen again.They soon arrived a
Florence was about leaving the house to meet up with someone that can help with her predicament. Alex was too busy, he might not have the time to act fast before her son gets killed.She was really sorry about Bella. Yes she knew the old man can be tricky and evil at times. But to think her father could be so extreme she was disgusted at this.She had only driven close to the gates when some uniformed men drove into the compound.The cops.She looked at them and drove in with four cars as if they were here to arrest a dozen gangsters. ' I can't remember calling the cops. I never told them about my son's abduction. I had been warned not to involve the cops. What do they want this time l.'Florence recounts how many times food like this has been in their home when she was only a child. They would make everyone sit on the floor while they searched the whole house thoroughly leaving no stone untouched.The sight of them was terrifying to her back then. She would cry. Alex will wrap her s
