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,
"Isabella, how are you feeling?" Kenneth immediately asked as he went in. Isabella turned her gaze to him silently without responding. Laura demanded to be handed over to her mother which Ken did with immediate effect.He gave her to Isabella, she cuddled Laura up in her arms crying. "My baby…"Isabella was relieved to see that Laura was alright. She was frightened earlier that the Hunts Family might harm her. Isabella looked at Ken who placed his hand on her thighs. "Bella, I'm glad that you're awake. It's a relief that I found you both. Now we can go home like a complete family that we are '' he stated."Yay! Daddy and mummy are back!" Laura yelled at the top of her voice. She was so excited but her excitement was short-lived as soon as Isabella spoke."I don't think that's going to happen, Mr Lancaster. The last time I checked, I was your employee and not your wife. You took advantage of my memory loss to force me into marrying you. And claim my daughter as yours" Isabella blurted
After the doctor was done with the examination, he returned to the office, leaving Isabella and Kenneth with Laura in the room. Isabella was just concerned about Laura's health and the doctor already warned her not to do anything that would trigger Laura's health condition.She was still asleep, and there, Isabella made the decision to stay with Ken for a while until her daughter recovers. It was a difficult thing for her to do but Isabella would do anything for Laura to be well. She couldn't stand seeing her fall sick. She was her everything. Separating Laura from Ken was her life long wish but Laura seemed to have gotten attached to Kenneth already.The little girl believes that he is her father, he's raised her for four years so it was natural for her to love and get used to him. To Laura, Alex was only a stranger trying to steal her mother away from her.Isabella stayed with Laura throughout that night while Ken went back to the mansion to prepare a few things to bring for them t
The next day, Laura was about to get discharged; however, she was still asleep and resting. Isabella was with her in the ward throughout. Kenneth was supposed to be there according to their plans, in order to help them with the luggages. Isabella also had to cancel the rental plan on her new apartment so she could focus on Laura while she is still with Ken. She was unable to divorce Ken and move out until Laura recovers which she wishes could happen very soon. She couldn't stand breathing the same air with him, even for a moment as that night replayed in her memories continuously.If it wasn't for Laura, she wouldn't even give him a chance to come closer to her.Throughout that morning, Laura was still sleeping so Isabella decided to take the opportunity to visit Alex in his ward.She snuck out of the room and went straight to Alex's ward. There was no one inside with him, he was just there sleeping on the bed silently.The moment she saw his face, Isabella was elated. He looked be
Isabella jerked up immediately from the bed, and as she tried to leave, Alex held her hand tight. Stopping her from going. Catalina noticed, she looked at Alex sternly and asked. "Alex, what are you doing?""Alex, I should go," Isabella said to him in a calm tone. She didn't want to cause any trouble. It was better if she left. Catalina was already boiling in so much rage and she wouldn't be able to face her."I asked you to stay. No one's going to hurt you, Bella " he said.Catalina charged towards them and she grabbed Isabella from him. The two women joined hands in hitting Isabella while Alex found it difficult to stand up from the bed.He didn't understand what was going on and why he couldn't move his legs. "Don't touch her! Let go of Isabella " he started to yell."I can't move my legs. What happened to them?" Alex questioned as he was confused.Catalina immediately stopped hitting Isabella and she moved towards Alex. A mocking grin was on her face as she did."What can I say,
Isabella finally arrived at the school and she was told thay Laura had already been taken to the hospital. Isabella was anxious. She wanted to see her daughter."Who took her?" She almost yelled as she asked the principal."A good Samaritan was around. He is one of the investors of the school. He saw the situation and offered to take her to the hospital. The head teacher went with them" the woman explained to Isabella.She released her clenched fists and turned away- leaving the school.Isabella boarded another taxi, she now regretted not taking her own car. The taxis were so slow. Isabella couldn't concentrate, she just wanted to get to the hospital as fast as she could.She recieved a phone call from Kenneth which she explained to him about the current situation. He was going to meet her at the hospital.After a long minutes ride, she arrived at the hospital. Isabella threw the bills at the taxi driver. She didn't even collect her balance. She just went straight into the hospital.S
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
