"Catty, all these happened and I do not know about it? Where have you been all these years? How come no one told me about it?" Alex asked angrily, he couldn't hold back his emotions, Catalina was alive for the past six years and he was just finding out now, he was so disappointed in his father for separating them."I'm so sorry Alex, it's all my fault. I was scared of dying so I accepted his offer to get me treated abroad. I didn't think that he wouldn't tell you, he promised me that he would." Catalina explained, her voice was still so soothing to his ears, he missed her but Alex still had his doubts.It's been six long years and she only appeared at the exact moment when he is currently striving to keep Isabella in his life. What were Hector's motives for doing all of these?Alex stood up and walked towards the window, he needed to think in order to clear his head, he had a lot of thoughts flowing through his mind at that moment.Seeing Catalina made his heart beat again but that wa
Isabella had been locked up for more than three days inside the laboratory room and several pints of blood had been extracted from her, she was growing weaker by the day but Hector didn't care.He didn't even let her get access to food and only water was given to her. She had been injected with several syringes in order to make her produce more blood for their use.She could barely recognize where she was as her eyes were finally opened. Her both hands were tied to the wall and her legs also chained in order to restrict her movements.Isabella could see the laboratory doctor as he trouped in and out of the place, coming inside to get her blood and leave. She didn't know what to do or whether to ask the man for help.Isabella felt like she was dying, she barely had any strength.Her eyes were closed shut, all she wished for was for the ground to open up and consume her, she was in so much pain as more blood left her body.Soon, another doctor entered the room but Isabella didn't even o
Outside the environment of a huge hospital, an ambulance truck drove inside in a rush, Kenneth was inside the ambulance with Isabella, heading to get her treated.As soon as they reached, a stretcher bed was brought out immediately to convey her into the emergency room. Kenneth followed them all the way to the emergency room, but he was made to stay outside in the waiting area.The treatment began, Ken was so anxious throughout. Whenever any doctor walked out, he'd ask them about Isabella. He wanted to be inside the room with her, he didn't even know of the situation.About thirty minutes later a doctor who Ken recognized to be the head doctor in charge of the treatment walked outside and he rushed to meet him."Doctor.. doctor please wait. How is she?" He asked anxiously."Were you the one who called me?" The doctor asked, trying to confirm Kenneth's identity before he'd say anything to him.Earlier, before Ken would bring Isabella to the hospital, he already contacted the doctor and
In the hospital ward where Isabella was admitted, Kenneth stayed with her throughout the days she was there. Isabella had been admitted for five days and she was still unconscious. Ken was starting to worry about her, even when the doctor already assured him that she would wake up, he was dubious about it.He thought about sending her to another hospital to receive completed treatment. Meanwhile, Ken discovered that Hector Hunt had all hospitals in the city under surveillance Incase Isabella was there, he wanted to have her terminated according to what his source discovered.Kenneth was called by the doctor so he left the room to answer him. On his way there, he got a phone call from Tiana who had arrived in the country the previous night and was currently outside the hospital.She wanted to see Isabella and know how she was faring, after Ken explained everything to her, Tiana grew more worried and decided to come. He sent a bodyguard to lead her into the ward where Isabella was whil
~ Four years Later ~"Laura, stop running around!" Isabella yelled out from the staircase where she was standing, glaring at her energetic daughter. She was only four years old but Laura was as sharp and powerful as a full grown adult.It was abnormal, but Isabella didn't pay any attention to it. She just assumed that Laura inherited the attitude from her father. But Kenneth Lancaster wasn't that kind of person, he was more calm and reserved. Then where the hell did her daughter inherit such strength from?Isabella finally caught Laura, "I told you to stop running, Laura" she warned her, Isabella picked up the pink hello kitty designed school bag from the floor and held it in her hands. "Let's go. Or you might be late for school" she cautioned Laura."Mummy, look" Laure pointed towards the TV which had just been turned on by her using the remote control."It's SpongeBob SquarePants" Laura wanted to watch the cartoon show but Isabella wouldn't allow her. The time was 7:20 a.m. and Lau
The next morning, before Isabella would wake up, it was already 8 a.m, she had a rough night and managed to fall asleep that morning, causing her to wake up that late.Immediately she looked at the time, Isabella jerked up from the bed. She recalled that Laura had to be at school. Isabella didn't even wear her slippers as she ran barefooted outside the room to get her daughter prepared for school.The bedroom was next door, which she easily located and entered but after that, Isabella was stunned to find that Laura wasn't in her bedroom. Although the bed had been done and the room had been cleaned, she looked around and searched for her daughter before heading out to the living room to continue her search.She also didn't see Ken anywhere inside the house, it was obvious that they were already awake, realization dawned on Isabella that Ken might've prepared and taken Laura to school already.She felt a bit of relief as she checked the kitchen and saw the leftover meals from what the
Alexander Hunt had just exited his office and was out to pick up his son from school. The school would close in the next one hour, and the ride there took only Thirty minutes so he'd be thirty minutes early to pick him up.After Isabella's death, he became an alcoholic and there, he mistakenly spent one of his drunken nights with Catalina which resorted to a pregnancy.He had no choice but to get married to her after she threatened to take his son away if he doesn't marry her and change his attitude.But with everyday that passes, Alexander would always think about Isabella. He was so in love with her, he couldn't believe that she died. Even though it's been five years, the pain he felt in those years was nothing compared to how he felt during the demise of Catalina.He wasn't in love with Catalina but had just gotten married to her for the sake of his child. Alex was regretting his decisions, because he never treated her as his wife for once.That night when he touched her was the on
Isabella drove her car away at high speed, ever since she left the school her heart has been acting up. Who was that man? Why did meeting with him have so much effect on her?Isabella lost concentration as she drove down the highway, she felt a throbbing headache and was so uncomfortable, Laura noticed and she yelled. "Mummy, you're driving too fast" Laura cried out fearfully.Isabella tried to control her emotions and focus but nothing worked. The headache increased, her vision turned blurry, she couldn't even drive anymore and her hands subconsciously left the steering wheel. Isabella held her head tightly, rubbing her temples. She was having blurry visions, she didn't even know where she was anymore. It seemed like her memories were coming"Even Laura's cries didn't stop anything. Isabella and Laura were in an accident, everywhere spinned around Isabella's view and when she realized what happened, she turned to Laura who was in a critical condition and unconscious.Isabella panic
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
