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?
Isabella was being dragged deeply into the woods by Ken. While he called Catalina to bring a car to pick them up.Isabella couldn't walk anymore, she felt an excruciating pain in her stomach and her legs were starting to feel wobbly.It was an effect of the hit Kenneth had hit her on the stomach earlier. Isabella was in great pain but she was in no position to speak or complain.The loud noise of engine roaring sounded near them, making Ken realize that Catalina was nearby. He forced Isabella to keep walking and when Catalina finally found them, they got inside. He cuffed Isabella's hands together and put her in the back seat. "What took you so long?" He asked."Alex's men are in the woods. I had to escape them." She explained quickly.Isabella winces as sharp pains hit her abdomen. She soon saw the blood gushing out of her thighs, Isabella was so frightened she started to cry."Please take me to the hospital… I can't hold it anymore, it's so painful" she cried.Ken got down from his
Alex paced back and forth at the hospital, Florence called to inform him about Laura's health condition. She was rushed to the hospital after passing out.The doctor said she didn't need blood, so Alex was worried that it might be something more serious. The doctor had been inside for over an hour which was making Alex to be more worried. He needed to know what was happening with Laura.A few nurses head out of the emergency room but he couldn't get any tangible information from them. That out him in an awkward situation.Alex waited for another half an hour before the doctor emerged."Doctor how is she" Alex almost pushed the man as he bombarded him quickly with questions.The man had a gloomy look on his face and Alex was beginning to fear. He had never felt this way before unless the first then when he had encountered Isabella in an accident.He had his heart in his mouth that day. "She will be fine Mr Hunt. We just finished her treatment. I'm stunned to see how your father's blo
Ken wanted to provoke Alex and using Isabella was the only thing he could think of. "What if I accept your offer, Isabella? You promised to offer me yourself if I spare him. Why don't you do it now? Give yourself to me if you want him to live" Ken stated.He knew that Alex was wounded, and if he doesn't get to the hospital soon he might not survive it. He turned to Isabella and waited for her response. "I.. I.." she stuttered, not knowing what to say to him."Are you willing to do it or not? " He said, standing up and heading towards her.Ken touched Isabella's body, the torn dress could barely cover her up. Parts of her naked skin were visible to him."Isabella! He yelled, grabbing her up with all of his strength, Kenneth tried to kiss her and she refused. "Let go of her!" Alex yelled.Although the bullet didn't hit him, he still felt some pains I'm his chest due to the force used from the shot. He was still trying to lose the ropes so he couldn't say anything yet. He hated the fa
"Mummy…" Laura's voice yelled loudly in the living room as she saw Isabella entering inside the house. She immediately stood up and ran to her mother, Isabella hugged Laura, holding her tightly in her arms. Seeing how energetic her daughter was, Isabella had never been this happy in her life. Her daughter meant everything to her.Isabella carried her upstairs. "Welcome home ma'am" the maiden who was babysitting Laura greeted Isabella."Thank you, Penny" Isabella appreciated her. "And thanks for taking good care of Laura today. Isabella had gone to the hospital for another check up. Ever since her miscarriage, she's been experiencing some abdominal pains so the doctor advised that she comes from check upsIt was her fourth check up that month and the doctor finally declared that she was fine and had recovered. The pains were cramps from the internal injury she sustained during the forceful miscarriage she had.Isabella freshened up and it was time to eat dinner. Laura was already sit
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
