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
Isabella's eyes fluttered open in a foreign room. She blinked twice for her eyes to adjust to the white brightness, A beeping sound echoed in the room. Isabella laid motionless trying hard to remember what happened and how she had managed to end up in a hospital.Her brain kept asking a lot of questions which she couldn't give an appropriate answer to. "Thank goodness you're awake." His familiar calm voice tilted her head to the left side where he was seated in a white chair. There was paleness all over his face which proved he had been watching over her praying she would wake up. Coupled with donating blood for Laura, Alex was so weak but he pretended.Isabella, instead of thanking him, gave him a disdainful look. "You..." She managed to speak with hoarseness,That was the least word he had expected her to say first. Isabella sat up with a frown on her face looking directly at him. That moment she had a recollection of heat. She pointed a finger at his face. "You bastard, what 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
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
