Upon arriving at the vacation house, Isabella felt an utter familiarity with the place. The fragrance of the freshly trimmed grasses, and the air lingering around the atmosphere was so familiar to her, she felt like she'd been there once.Isabella stood facing the huge building, glaring around being lost in thoughts."Let's go" Carlos beckoned and she followed him into a huge mansion.Carlos ended his escort with her when they got upstairs, he pointed to the bedroom where Alex was waiting for her.Isabella watched him leave, and all of a sudden, she started to feel skeptical about going inside to meet Alexander. What if something happens between them? How could she explain herself to Ken? She didn't want to disappoint him as he was already so angry at her."Oh my God! What am I even doing here?" Isabella questioned herself before turning away to leave the place. She couldn't bring herself to face Alex, she was already feeling so uneasy about the whole situation.When she reached the s
W.. what? " Isabella trembled as she spoke. She couldn't digest what Alexander had just told her. He wanted her daughter, how could she give Laura to him over a piece of paper stating that they were father and daughter?"Impossible, Alexander! I'm not giving Laura to you! She's Kenneth's daughter! At least, he raised her. Where have you been all these years?" She questioned him.Alexander grinned briefly, glaring at her as she spoke. Isabella was willing to hide the whole truth in order to protect her daughter.She threw the documents at him. "You must be out of your mind to think that I'll let you have her just because of this. Alexander Hunt, how do I know that the test results aren't fake?"Alex shrugged at her question. At least he was confident since he already discovered the truth. "why don't you carry out a test? To find out if I faked it or not " he responded. "Make sure to get my daughter prepared because I'll be fighting for her custody when the truth is found out" Isabell
"Did you have sex with him?" Isabella heard Kenneth's voice the moment she entered into the Burundi lit bedroom. She had just gone to see Tiana off, since she already put Laura to bed earlier.Although her mind has been occupied with the thoughts of Alex, she didn't expect the question she just recieved from Ken. Isabella put on a straight face and responded. "I do not know what you are talking about, Kenneth" "Isabella, don't lie to me. I saw the marks on your arms and the hickeys he left on your neck. Isabella! You cheated on me with Alexander again, didn't you?" Knowing that Ken had caught her, Isabella didn't hide the truth from him anymore. It was bound to come out sooner or later."Why did you lie to me, Ken? Laura isn't your daughter and you know about that. Is Alexander saying the truth? That you kidnapped me from him? Why don't I recall anything?" Isabella began.All she had kept inside her, she had to find out about it tonight. She wouldn't give Kenneth the chance to lie o
That night when Kenneth got to the club, he drank his heart away. The scene still remained fresh in his memories, it wasn't his intention to do that to Isabella but he was forced to.He couldn't think of any other way to make her stay with him. She loved Alexander too much, she never for once considered him. He was so angry, he had to do that to her and now he was regretting everything.He drank more shots of vodka and even ordered a bottle of whiskey for himself.Ignoring the doctor's warning, Kenneth drank so much till he got drunk.``You must be Mr Lancaster?" He heard a feminine voice speak from behind him. Kenneth turned to look, he saw the beautiful woman with brown hair standing behind him with her hand stuck out for a handshake."I'm Catalina, but my friends call me Catty" she introduced herself to him.Kenneth ignored her, he wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone, all he wanted to do was to drink. He continued to gulp down the vodka until the drink reduced to half."Do you mind
After confirming from the school where he found out that Isabella had withdrawn Laura from, Ken was so confused. He couldn't place his finger upon where he could start his search from.How could Isabella just leave with Laura? Ken knew that he messed up last night, he never should've done that to Lisa. He regretted it but this was too much of a punishment for him to handle.He immediately called Tiana who was his last and only hope. She knew that Isabella and his niece were best of friends and there was no way Isabella would leave without informing Tiana of where she was heading.Ken went there after two unanswered phone calls. Arriving at Tiana's apartment, Ken didn't even knock when he barged inside and went directly into the bedroom to search for Isabella.He started scattering the bedroom. "Isabella.. where are you?" He questioned, searching the wardrobe, bathroom and everywhere he could think of.Tiana was inside the kitchen when he arrived, she only got alerted by the loud noise
Alex finished his phone call with the private investigator who helped him get the information of Isabella's whereabouts. Soon after the call ended a text message came in. It was the address of Isabella and Laura.Immediately he saw it, he grabbed his keys and left. Even when he was almost stopped by Catalina who was waiting by the door of the living room and demanding an explanation of what Kenneth said earlier. "Where are you going, Alexander? We need to talk!" She yelled, folding her arms."Get out of my way, Catalina. I do not have the time for chit chat with you" Alex immediately stated, pushing her aside. Catalina was stunned by his actions towards her. Even though he had always been too cold towards her, she never expected that even at this moment when he was caught for infidelity, he still didn't give a concern about her or his son.Alex stepped out and as soon as he reached his car, he got in and drove off at once. He sped up, he needed to get to Isabella before she leaves he
The moment Isabella entered inside the doctor's office, her eyes went directly towards the man sitting across the desk with his eyes fixed to the bright computer screen in front of him.The moment he noticed her enter, he looked in her direction. "Please come sit" He beckoned, and Isabella immediately did.She was nervous and it was obvious, the doctor switched off the computer and then he stood up , heading towards the drawer to bring out Laura's hospital file."Doctor, can you please tell me what's wrong with my daughter? It isn't just a fever, right?" She questioned.The doctor seemed reluctant to speak, he rolled his eyes which was obvious through the glass. "Doctor please tell me .." Isabella's voice whimpered as she spoke.The man who held the file in his hand contemplated whether to read the contents of it to her or not. Meanwhile, Isabella had her thoughts on her daughter. She wondered what the illness could be."Your daughter has a rare type of cancer, we've run a series of
Isabella immediately rushed out of the ward and when she reached the reception area, she noticed the stretch bed was being rushed outside by some medical personnel team.They hurriedly put Alex on the bed and rushed him inside the hospital before transferring him to the emergency room for treatment.Isabella was in great shock when she witnessed the scene. She still couldn't believe that it was Alex who had an accident. She went to the ward, she waited outside. She was anxious and she went back and forth. A woman walked into the hallway of the waiting area, she was being accompanied by a man whom she discussed with as they walked. Upon seeing Isabella, her mood changed to worse.Miss Hunt rushed to attack Isabella and hit her. "How dare you show your face here you evil witch?" The woman yelled at her. Florence still couldn't believe that Isabella was alive after so many years.She thought that her family was finally free from the woman but seeing her at that hospital at that moment,
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
