After a painful divorce and six months off the radar, FL returns to the city with a new energy, and a mysterious aura. She’s the billionaire doctor Dominic, her ex husband has been looking for.
Lihat lebih banyakBella’s POV.If I had stayed any longer in the same room with that drama queen I would probably have lost it watching her act so terribly yet enough to convince everyone, especially Dominic that she was the victim and I was bullying her.If there was anyone trying to bully anyone, it was Vivian but Dominic was extremely blinded to that fact.Outside the hospital building, I hailed a taxi and headed for Audrey’s apartment because I was already extremely late for the meeting I had that morning and would most likely have to reschedule.This was all his fault, I hissed as I stared out the window, fuming with rage whenever I remembered how he had confidently walked up to me to ask me if the accusations were true?Even after all these years, he was still blind towards Vivian tactics, maybe Audrey was right after all, they both deserve each other.Brinny had never liked me anyways so I wasn’t shocked by how she had acted towards me in the hospital. The only person that ever really cared abou
Dominic’s POV.“Please have a seat,” the doctor gestured for me to take my seat in front of his desk as he took his behind it, “your grandma’s condition is getting worse and cannot be delayed any longer than it needs to. She needs surgery and there is only one doctor that can perform such a surgery.”“Only one doctor? I don’t mind how much it costs, just get this doctor to perform the surgery on her, money is never a problem.” I responded but the doctor shook his head.“Sadly, that doctor isn’t someone I can find, trust me, we’ve searched for him and tried to get in touch with this doctor countless times but to no avail. You need to search for this mysterious doctor by yourself if your grandmother is to ever get that surgery.”I tried to find out as much as I could from this doctor to aid my search for the mystery doctor and even though there wasn’t much to gather, we still got a head start and I forwarded everything to my assistance.The plan was to direct all my men and resources to
Bella’s POV.“Is that where you’re going tonight? One of those clubs where you can disgrace my family all over again. I can’t let you do that.” He insisted as he grabbed me and pulled me back gently.I fought against him, struggling to free my hand from his but it was of no use and no matter how hard I tried to snatch my arm away from him, his grip on it tightened and he didn’t seem intimidated at all into letting me go.He was about to say something else when his phone began to ring and he was going to ignore it before but when he saw whoever it was, he answered it in a heartbeat.I had no clue what whoever was on the other end was saying to him but I watched his expression harden and the look on his face turn into something else.I expected and prayed for it to be an emergency so he could hurry away and leave me alone but to my surprise, with his hand still holding on tightly to mine, he pulled open the passenger seat of his car and forced me in.Screaming, thrashing around and wond
Bella’s POV.My chest heaved heavily as I stormed out of the club. I was struggling so hard to contain my anger that I had to slow down at one point and take deep breaths so as to settle my head.Few seconds later, I got into the car beside Audrey and she pulled out of the club.“Can you relax?” Audrey said, grinning wildly, “you just slapped the biggest jerk the world had ever seen in front of everyone and walked out on him too. That was amazing Bella and he totally deserves it.” She shrieked excitedly.“This is not about that, Audrey, I am just worried about why I met him there. It must have been a coincidence but seeing him again made me feel some kind of way and I was really hoping to never see him again.” I responded and she scoffed out loud.“It was no coincidence at all. That jerk has been looking into everything about you for the past few months.”“What? How do you know that?”That was definitely not something I had expected to hear. Dominic had demanded a divorce on his own b
Dominic’s POV.The sound of her voice coupled with the angry look in her eyes as she yelled at me was what baffled me the most that night. She had always been the type to stare at me lovingly and with longing but the look in her eyes now were nothing like before.Her eyes were cold and the hatred dripping from her tone was quite obvious.She turned back around to walk away and I reached out almost immediately, based on my impulse and grabbed her arm.“Bella I…” I opened my mouth to speak but before the words could make it out, her hand shot up and came down heavily on my left cheek.My cheeks stung and a low ringing sound filled my ears.Everyone gasped out loud behind me and my eyes widened in shock.“Oh my God did she just slap him?” I overheard David’s stunned voice behind me.“She’s in trouble now, Dom is definitely angry and there will be no stopping him now.” Came Ted’s amused voice.“He’s never going to let her get away with this one.” A random person whispered but I honestly c
Bella.“You deserve to have a great time Bella, and what better time to celebrate than now?” Audrey, my best friend shrieked excitedly as she led me into the bar.There was some sort of party going on and she had been invited so she had dragged me along with her.“You finally got rid of that asshole and your life is finally back on track. We never got to celebrate the divorce back then but we can always do so now,” she added and after that, she ordered shot after shot of vodka.Things were now so much different then they were six months ago and Audrey was right, I needed to take a step back, catch my breath and celebrate how far I had come.She made sure I drank so much that I eventually lost my reserved self and even agreed to sing a song at the bar. Audrey had planned the whole thing and the regular me would have been so nervous to do that because I had never sang in front of a crowd before but the alcohol helped with my nerves and I felt so much better when everyone applauded enthu
Dominic.Six Months Later,The loud music blasting from the speakers made everything in the bar tremble lightly and was definitely capable of giving everyone a terrible migraine after the party was over but I remained seated at my private spot, a secluded place away from all the madness.I was now on my second vodka bottle.“Cheer up man!” David yelled into my ear as he threw a hand across my shoulder and pulled me closer to him, “look around you, beautiful women are at every corner of this bar and you choose to sit here and drink all by yourself like a depressed old man.”David was a childhood friend that was a chronic womanizer and alcoholic. He enjoyed the company of different women and they also enjoyed his so he was always the one in charge of organizing parties and bar events.“There is absolutely nothing you can say to him that’s going to make him stop being moody, I have tried everything but he is still like that.” Ted suddenly spoke up as he walked over to join us.I groaned,
Dominic.“She only sprained her ankle and with a few weeks of bed rest, she should be as good as new.” The doctor said to us.I was standing beside the bed in the VIP room Vivian was in, the doctor had just returned with the test results and even though he had assured us that there was nothing to worry about, I felt bad for Vivian and so angry at Bella.How could she do that? She had always looked harmless.“Thank you Doctor.” The young doctor nodded before he excused himself.I sat down next to her and took her hand in mine, “I am so sorry you had to go through this Vivian, I promise you that nothing like this would ever happen again. I had no idea Bella was capable of something like this but I am going to make sure that…”“You don’t have to do anything Dom,” she squeezed my hands gently as she stared into my eyes lovingly, “the poor woman must be feeling so broken right now with the divorce. You should try and understand her Dom, she misunderstood us and our intentions. I was just
Bella.A sharp pain shot across my chest and the longer I stared at the picture, the more my vision turned blurry and soon enough, my tears were dropping on the screen of the smartphone.I should have known that Vivian coming back would be all it would take to send Dominic running back to her after filing for a divorce.She was his ex, she had left the country three years ago and I had no idea she was back until that very moment.All the good times we shared, all the memories now felt like something of the past. Throughout the entire night, I laid wide awake in bed thinking about it all.I couldn’t just throw away three years of our lives, I couldn’t just walk away from everything because no matter what, I loved Dominic and I believed we could talk things through.Our marriage could still work, there was a reason we had lasted for three years and I wasn’t going to just back down.So as soon as it was dawn, I got dressed and drove all the way to his office,The building was familiar to
Bella.“I want a divorce.” Dominic suddenly said and I sat up immediately. He had just gotten out of bed after making love to me so passionately a few minutes ago and was getting dressed in a hurry.“What?” I raised a brow at him, unsure of what I had just heard him say.“This shouldn’t be an issue since there was nothing between us to begin with and you will be greatly compensated for the years you’ve spent here.” He continued nonchalantly.I stared up at him in disbelief, this had to be some kind of joke or I had probably not heard him right.Our marriage might not have exactly happened out of love but it had grown stronger over the years and I couldn’t picture myself with anyone other than him.Marrying Dominic was the best decision I had made and it was worth all the sacrifices I made for us to stay together all these years.“Dom… what are you saying? We just made love like…”“I want a divorce.” He blurted out and I just stared at him in shock, wide eyed.Where was that coming fr...
