"Do you want me to baby seat you my love?" Ken felt Isabella's high temperature and she wasn't feeling good. She had a fever all night and it was morning already. She refused to go to the hospital for a check up."I will be fine. You don't have to worry much about me." Isabella assured Ken with a faint smile. It was obvious something was bothering Isabella."You have said that for the past two days. By tomorrow if your health doesn't improve I'm going to take things upon myself." Ken declared.Isabella nodded her head in agreement. Ken can be so domineering at times. At last the house was void of any other person. Ken had left for work while Laura had resumed school. Isabella went out to by a pregnancy test strip "No!" She exclaimed in a loud tone, the shock was obvious in her face."I can't be pregnant."Isabella buried her head into her palms. She tried the second test strip With one eye closed, Isabella checked the result. It was still the same. Nothing had changed. Confusion se
*10:00pm*Ken got home from work a bit stressed from all the paperwork he had to handle back at the office. Good thing he had a wife who would prepare him some food to eat and relax after a very long stressful day at the office. This was one of the reasons Ken appreciated Isabella for working from home.The house was unusually quiet. Laura always stayed at the parlor watching cartoons, she would also sing along with them in a high pitched voice. When he steps into the house she is always the first to give him a big hug, then she would ask him to join her in watching cartoons. Ken had no other choice but to cave to her pleading.Tonight was different, Laura wasn't seated in front of the television nor was any cartoon playing, all that was said was government, politics and the country's economy. Isabella hadn't heard when ken arrived, she was engrossed in cooking a delicious dinner, the aroma filled the house. Isabella started making good dishes ever since she recovered her memories.
Ken succumbed into the woman's alluring beauty. It was hard to resist, especially in his drunken situation.The next morning Ken woke up first. He had a slight headache. He rubbed his hurting head trying to remember what happened last night and why he was naked."Isabella."He muttered under his breath. He remembered he was at the club to get wasted with alcohol, slowly his memories returned to him. He remembers hurting Isabella last night. All this had happened because of Alex."I will deal with that bastard." He declared. He needed to get rid of Alex from their lives. Only then will Isabella agree to stay with him.Sun peeped into the room casting and glowed in the room. Ken looked at his side only to meet a woman sleeping peacefully on the bed. Last night he couldn't recognize her, with the scorching sun high up in the blue sky and his sense fully recovered, he remembered a woman who had fucked him so well last night. Her face looked so familiar to him. He kept observing her, and
Isabella paced restlessly outside the ward, waiting to hear the news from the doctor. Even though she was desperate to get away from Kenneth, allowing Hector to take her was never an option, she would never go with him.He was a devil and an evil man. If she dared go with him then she should be prepared to die or lose her daughter and that was what she was trying to avoid. Losing Laura.Isabella touched her rumbling tummy. Ever since she got pregnant, her appetite increased. She frequently ate and right now when she was barely at her dinner she felt hungry.Isabella took her seat at the bench in the waiting area. Kenneth was also waiting but not at that area, Mr Hector Hunt declared him out of the premises and his bodyguards were holding him outside the placeMr Hector was inside the office with the doctor discussing Laura. Even though Hector was a devil, the existence of his granddaughter made him chill.He had looked forward to having a grandchild for a long time.He emerged outside
Kenneth waited all evening till night at the club, he spent a lot of time drinking while his eyes darted around the clubhouse searching for Catalina.It was strange to him that she didn't come that night. She usually comes to him out of the blue. What happened now? Why isn't she here to calm his nerves down as usual?He was starting to Regret not taking her number the other night. He missed her, she was the only one who knew how to calm him down.Frustrated, he left the clubhouse returning back to the mansion. Ken had a faint memory of when he had a complete family. With Laura and Isabella together with him.The last five years were the best times in his life. He was the one who took care of Isabella until she gave birth to Laura right in his arms.She was a tiny little kid then, he loved her so much and wished that she was his. However, fate can be delayed but not denied. And Alexander had come to take what was rightfully his.Kenneth reached upstairs and he slumped onto the bed and
It has been more than a week and Isabella was glad that Laura was starting to recover, she could see some notable changes in her. Isabella canceled schooling for Laura until she recovers completely before she resumes. She didn't care if Laura was far behind from her mates, what matters was for her to be alive.Isabella left the living room to finish some work upstairs. She left Laura with Ken playing. The little girl has been so much attached to Ken and it made Isabella really worried. It was time she made Laura know and begin to accept Alex as her biological father. She needed to acknowledge him soon. She wasn't a Lancaster but a Hunt.Isabella was inside the bedroom putting on her makeup when the thoughts but her. How is she ever going to separate them and break their bond? Kenneth wasn't also making things easier for her, instead he tended to make it difficult. He purposely tried to keep Laura for himself because Laura was the only key to get to her.Isabella sensed a war coming
"I missed you so much, Isabella. I missed us" Alex stated as he placed. Kiss on her forehead before rolling off her body. Isabella blushed shyly, her cheeks flushed red. She just had the best moment of her life with Alex and he also confessed his love to her.How else could she describe that this man loved her? He was the best thing that could ever happen to her. Asides the fact that they had a daughter together, the things he did to her were unmentionable.The atmosphere of the bedroom still lingered with the smell of sex in it. A mixture of their cologne filled the air, leaving Isabella tomorrow to get drunk in it.It was better than any other fragrance she'd ever perceived in her entire life. Alex soon returned from the bathroom and he laid near her in bed.Isabella wanted to get up and go wash up but then Alex stopped her immediately. "Don't get up, I love the smell of me in you. It makes me want to have you for the second time. Of course I want to have you a second time Isabella
Isabella laid on the bed but she wasn't asleep, she was just in deep thoughts about everything. She was worried too about Laura.It's been almost twenty-four hours of not being with her. She felt so empty. She knew that Laura wouldn't be bothered because she was with her father. But right now, Kenneth was the last person that Isabella wanted to be near her daughter at the moment.He was a dangerous man and a psychopath. How could he do this to the same child he claimed to love?Isabella couldn't place a finger on the whole issue. She knew he wanted her. Why didn't he just kidnap her and let go of Laura instead?Was he trying to use Laura as a bait? Ken was so petty and the thoughts of him irritated her. Isabella was distracted by the sound of her mobile phone ringing, she stood up to check. It was a strange number. A strong urge in her told her that it was Ken.She picked up the call, the moment she heard his voice her blood froze. "Ken, where did you take Laura? Where are you both?
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
