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
Isabella craved for him, she wanted to feel his touch on her skin and have him– but the grudge she held in her heart wouldn't let her. How could she forget so quickly that she was nothing but a replacement? Or, she was never a replacement and just a pawn being used by Alex to satisfy himself while he thought about his ex. This made Isabella quickly come to her senses and she pushed Alex away from her.Alex tried to speak but Isabella acted fast and slapped him hard on his face. She turned immediately and left. Entering her room, Isabella was so furious at him. Although she enjoyed the kiss, she couldn't just forget everything. It made her realize how simple she was for him to come to whenever he needed her.She wanted to show him that she wasn't just a mere game to him or even his cousin, Adams. She had to step up with her games if she wanted to survive.Isabella stood facing the huge mirror in the room, she looked at herself with disdain for the woman she had become. After being u
Isabella stood in front of the huge bedroom mirror staring at her beautiful self as she put on the dazzling dinner gown which Alex had brought for her.The gown which was a backless, V-neck dress, long with a remarkable slit up to her knees, Isabella loved how it modified her body features. She couldn't wait to step out of the mansion in the dress, together with Alexander.Isabella smiled as she recalled his words to her earlier. Alex called her his woman and confessed his feelings to her. It wasn't what she was expecting but Isabella was happy. At least she knew her stand and position in his life.She sniffed the air around her, after taking her bath just now, she could still perceive the scent of his cologne on her skin. She didn't want it to ever leave her, Isabella wanted more of it.She touched her arms where he grabbed her, she remembered each and every moment of their time together. Of how he carried and placed her on his table down to the way he slid down her panties, sniffed
The soft sound of the classical music filled the ship, making the atmosphere romantic for both couples as they danced. Alex had his arms wrapped around Isabella's waist, he looked into her big brown eyes, they were inviting just like her lips which he wished to kiss.Isabella's smile melted his heart, Alex was glad that she was having a good time with him. He leaned near her and whispered into her ears. "If you keep staring at me that way I might be forced to kiss you, Isabella…" he shamelessly confessed to her.Isabella giggles. She loved how he teased her with his words. " I don't mind if you kiss me…" she replied to him, her smiles didn't seize.Alex pulled her closer and her body slammed onto his. He kissed her, and she retaliated. Coupled with the soft music, the sea breeze and romantic moment they shared, Isabella's heart raised fastly inside her chest.She knew she had fallen in love with this man and it was very obvious. She didn't want him to let go, she didn't want to kiss t
"Please don't go" Alicia grabbed Alex's suit the moment she noticed him leaving the room. Alex turned to see the woman who was just unconscious– to be awake and glaring at him.Although Alicia was still very weak, Alex didn't want to stay with her, he wished to be with Isabella. He missed her and they haven't spoken to each other all day. A long frown appeared on his face when he was forced to stay back with Alicia until she fell asleep, and at that time, Isabella must've already closed from work.Alex left the mansion hoping to arrive in time to pick her up. He sent Carlos to help him make a reservation for dinner with Isabella. He was going to try and make it up to her.Alex went in his SUV and drove straight to the company. At that time, Isabella just entered a taxi leaving the place. Alex noticed and he immediately went after them. The taxi was no match for the SUVs speed, and Alex reached her immediately.Isabella noticed the scene ahead of her and she wasn't ready for Alex's dr
"No… let go of me. Mummy, mummy!!" Isabella yelled out from her sleep and almost jerked up, Alex quickly held her back down, he could feel the warmth of her body.Isabella had a fever. She must've passed through a lot in the hands of that man. Alex was so angry, he didn't like to see her this way, he wanted the man to suffer so bad.How dare he make his woman suffer? He touched Isabella's body again, he couldn't just leave her this way, he needed to help her get well. He moved closer and laid near the woman whose face had gone pale and her lips chapped.Is anyways having a nightmare about her parents and this was the second time he was witnessing it. He wondered how painful the memories were for her, seeing Isabella react this way bothered him.Alex considered taking her for therapy so she could recover soon. He wanted Isabella to live a normal life like other women did.Alex felt her tight grip on his shirt, she pulled herself closer to him, shivering. He was disappointed for the fir
Alex's mobile phone had been ringing but he could only get the chance to pick it at that moment. "Sir, Miss Summers is missing" Carlos immediately announced on the phone as soon as Alex picked up. Alex hung up immediately and jerked up from his seat, startled by the unexpected news. Alicia was still weak and hasn't recovered. Matter of fact, the doctor restricted her from movement for days, why would she now escape from him? He couldn't believe that she'd run away because he'd done nothing but care for her as he promised. He dared not leave her alone in this. Alexander rushed out quickly to find her. He entered his car and drove around the estate, searching for her until he received a message from Carlos.The message contained information about her location. He quickly searched it up and traced her to the place. Alex arrived about an hour later in a damp graveyard in the middle of the city.When he parked his car and got down, he didn't search for Alicia because he already knew whe
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
When Alex stepped into the office. He was welcomed with a harsh smell of alcohol. A burning cigarette was in the center of Mr. Hunt's mouth puffing out smoke. He mumbled some words about losing a business deal because he hasn't been able to stock his company with new drugs. Alex looked at him. Mr. Hunt looked like he hadn't gotten some good sleep in months. There were dark circles clouded on his wrinkled skin beneath his aging eyes. Alex then deeply scrutinized the room. Nothing has moved all through the years he was gone. Piles of scientific book, magazines alongside other research studies filled the shelf that almost touched the ceiling."What brings you here today?"He asked without taking his eyes off an article he was reading. He lifted his head once which was filled with white hard just to dust the hot ash from his cigarette but didn't spare a glance at Alex.His hills moved over to the bottle of brandy. Alex took a drink, he winced at the burning sensation down his throat.
Alex stood outside Isabel's room. He was watching through the glass window which gave him a full view of a frail figure battling seriously for her life. While he was battling with his own wind. The genesis of Isabel's problem, the exact person who had poisoned her cells was his father Mr. Hector hunt. He had used her blood to produce some kind of medicine.It hurt more now that he and his father were not on talking terms. Going to him for help was the only option he had or else his Bella might die in the cold hands of death. "I never wanted to see that man or ask him for any help. It seems I have no other choice than to go and see him then." Alex thought to himself, slapping his head. Just then Bella's hand moved. Her head tilted sideways. Her black lashes fluttered open.Seeing this Alex rushed to her side. He held her hands and kissed them a thousand times. Bella was a strong girl. She's fighting this toxin better than what the doctor's expected.She looked at him with blurry vis
Bella,"Alex screamed running over to Bella's body lying unconscious on the floor. He then raised her head gently placing it on his own legs."Bella, I need you to wake up. Please wake up."Bella's body was gradually becoming cold. Her ears lids tightly close without any hope of fluttering open.She was very much fine when he returned yesterday. They both cuddled and she liked having the best sleep in a long time. He remembers she kissed his chest when he was pretending to still be asleep. But in the next hour she became crazy. Pointing a gun at him. Alex is confused about what must have cost her sudden action.Alex found his phone. He called the ambulance. "We will be there in an hour.""I don't have an hour to spare. Didn't you get me? It's urgent that your team arrives faster. Damn it."His location was far plus the traffic on the way. The ambulance team was doing him a big favor to arrive within an hour.One glance at Bella's body. It's obvious she won't make it within an hour.
“Did you just say that the DNA matches?” Alex asked Carlos, arching a brow at him.“Yes boss, it does match. Miss Catalina Summers is dead.” He explained to him, bringing out some other files and handling it over to him to check for clarification.“I told her she shouldn't worry about Catalina bothering us again. I hope that this will clear her thoughts finally” Alex retorted.He dismissed Carlos, asking him to go and continue his jobs while he went back upstairs to see Bella. On entering the bedroom, he finds her asleep, he couldn't do anything about it. He started at the hospital files again.Bella hasn't been settled ever since Catalina's death and it bothered him. He would definitely do anything to prove to her that the woman was dead and long gone.He didn't want her to worry, their wedding was coming up and there was nothing in the world, no one in this world that's going to put a stop to it.Alex placed the documents on top of the drawer, before crawling into bed to sleep besid
Back at the mansion after Cia and Bella finished cooking dinner, Bella received a phone call from Alex concerning his lateness in returning home that day. He would be busy having some meetings and would come later that night.Bella instantly became worried, Cia was going to take Laura with her that evening to spend the weekend, Bella had already left to spend time with Alex, however, it might not even happen when he returns from the meeting feeling exhausted.She finished packing up Laura's belongings while she escorted them to grab a taxi afterwards. Bella couldn't get her thoughts of the whole weekend Laura was going to stay with Cia. If it was for the better or not, she was completely unaware because of the dangers surrounding them now that her assumptions of Catalina being alive was coming through.Bella feared that one day, Catalina would attack them and maybe kidnap Laura just like she once did in the past. She didn't want any of that to happen, if Laura stayed with Cia, she cou
Bella alighted the taxi right in front of the Hunts corporation. One of the companies being managed by Alexander. She didn't come with her personal car, she knew he'd recognize it from the CCTV camera and she wanted to surprise him.She walked into the building after strolling through the huge surrounding of the company. She'd been here once, as his worker but now is coming here as his wife. She smiled realizing how much everything had changed in the last few years..Bella clutched her fingers tightly unto the basket containing Alex's favorite meal as she heads towards the reception. She was recognized once and allowed to go up to his office. Bella reached outside Alex's office but to her greatest surprise she was informed that he'd gone out on a private business meeting with a client.Bella still went inside his office and planned on waiting for him to come.. She takes a seat near his desk while she just scans through some documents abandoned on his table. She couldn't stop thinking
Bella woke up the next morning cuddled up in the arms of Alex which stunned her because she remembers falling asleep last night in the guest room after discussing it with Cia. She smiled and pushed her body forward, kissing him on his chest. As the coldness of her lips touched his chest, he opened his eyes to look at her.Alex wiped his eyes sleepily and yawned out. “You're awake?” He asked Bella who nodded immediately. “Yes I am. Alex, did you bring me here last night?” She asked him.“I didn't intend to sleep without you beside me for the night. So yes, I did bring you here” he confessed to her.Bella hugged him tightly to herself, sniffing in his natural scent. “I've missed you” she confessed to him. He kissed her forehead and smiled. “I've missed you more, Bella. More than you can ever imagine” he said, placing a kiss on her lips, his fingers finding their way into her dress.All of a sudden, there was a loud knock on the door which interrupted them. Isabella's eyes widened as she
The door of the living room opened that evening, Alex arrived right in time to have dinner with his family. Isabella was just placing the bowl of soup on the dining table when she heard the door open and she focused her attention there. Isabella's mood lightened up the moment she saw Alex walk inside with a bouquet of flowers and two fancy shopping bags in his hands. It was obvious that he bought them gifts. Alex had never stopped spoiling Isabella and Laura since they got back together as one family. “Daddy!’’ Laura yelled out from the corner where she was busy playing. It turned out she also heard the door open and she saw him enter. Laura stood up and ran from where she was to meet him. Alex leaned down and gave her a very big hug. “my baby..” he was just as excited as she was. Alex couldn't wait to give Laura the gift he bought, he was certain that Laura would love it. He gave her a kiss on the cheek as he picked her up in his arms and walked towards the dining room where Isa
