Amanda's POV"Why don't we just get you a princess dress? I think you will look perfect in a princess-cut dress. It will also hide your tummy if you don't want anybody to see it. I must admit that the first dress that you wore on with your wedding with Jake looked a little slutty," Belinda says honestly."It was a little slutty. I was just so hard trying to impress Jake that I did not think about myself. I never want to become that woman again. At least this time, I know Nick has no one but me in his heart. He convinced me. I know how it feels now to be loved by a man who loves you," I say."You were a different person back then. You were trying to impress the man you thought you were in love with. I am glad that you found true love. Nick is nothing like Jake. Jake is all about the money, while Nick has the money. Jake might even pretend the baby is Nick's, and he will try to sue Nick in court. We all know how that will turn out, but it will not stop Jake. Sometimes, I wish there woul
Nick's POV"You made me the happiest man on Earth today. I cannot believe I will have a daughter-in-law and a grandson. I know what everybody says. I know they think the wedding is too sudden and that you are the father of Amanda's baby. But I do not care what they say. As long as you do not mind, and as long as you are happy and in love, I am the happiest man in the world," My father says. It is close to the restaurant for today, as the wedding will occur here. We didn't want something too big as we don't want everybody to come that is not welcome. Only our closest friends and family will be there, and we will serve them dinner in the restaurant. I am glad it's not a big wedding because I know I am not a man that likes soon too much attention on myself. I know Amanda is sick of all the attention that she has gotten in the last few weeks. Jake has not made things easy for her, either. I am glad that Belinda is there to protect her."I hope Jake and that bitch that is always hanging ou
Amanda's POVI'm getting ready for the wedding. Belinda is helping me. I do not have any other friends or family that can stand by me, except Belinda. She is my maid of honor, as Chase is Nick's best man. I am glad that Nick's father agreed to walk me in. I do not know if my parents know that I'm getting married again, and I do not care. If they know I am marrying a more prosperous man again this time, they will be outraged because I am not helping them. However, I do not care. They had their chance to prove to me that they love me. Instead, they decided to sell me out. I do not want to think about them today as this is my special day. It is so hard for me to believe that Nick Bradley loves me. However, I am happy that everything is working out between us. I know how to appreciate a man that loves you. After being married to Jake, I will enjoy a man who loves me more than anything. And I know Nick does because he's willing to accept my baby as his own. "You are so deep in thought. Yo
Sarah's POVI always wanted to get back at those people that ruined my life. Tonight, he said, night, I know they are getting married. I have to figure out where. I am going to stop that wedding! Nick deserves better than Amanda. Everybody knows that. Amanda is an whore and will always be one. Besides, I also have a word or two to say to Belinda. I will ruin all of them. I hope their little brat Connor is there so that I can tell him what a stupid aunt and mother he has. I won't mind if he gets upset. It's none of my business. I have not seen Jake since the night everything went wrong. I will figure out how to get back at him as well.I have been driving around town, but I could not find the place where they are holding the wedding. I know it must be too late now, as I must have already got married. Then I remember Nick's father's restaurant. Of course. Why didn't I go and look there first? I cannot believe I forgot about the restaurant. I drive to the restaurant, and the doors shut,
Sarah's POVNow that I know what I want to do, I must carefully plan everything. I want to get my hands on that little brat. I'm going to kidnap him, and I'm going to make Belinda leave this city. The kidnapping of their child will break up Belinda and Chase. I know I will need help. I know Jake is stupid enough to believe me. I will tell him I'm not worried about what's happened in the past, but we need to be friends again and work together to get our hands on that brat, as he is the only way we can break up Chase and Belinda. I decided that I would call Jake today. Last night was a mess. Chase threw me out of the wedding before I could do Nick or Amanda. I am unhappy about that, but I have to get past that. I hope I got into that little brat's head. I hope he realizes he is not the Stone family's crown prince but a little bastard who has not had a father until now. I do not know why the Stone family accepted him so quickly. I have not been feeling well the last few mornings. I shou
Jake's POV I like Sarah's plan. I would love to get rid of that little brat. Once he leaves Belinda's life, I can go to Belinda and start over with her. I cannot let Sarah know that I am planning to sell the little brat to anybody who wants him. Of course, she will blame Chase for her child being gone. Their relationship will never be the same again. I cannot wait to get my hands on that brat. The problem is that he is very well protected. Chase does not take chances with his child. There are always guards around him and Belinda. We must figure out where and when we can get to the brat. Perhaps at his school, but we will need to find out who and when they pick him up and who does. It will not help us much if only Chase or Belinda can pick it up. I know these private schools. They have a lot of rules. Perhaps I can get closer to one of the teachers. I can charm my way into her heart and make her believe I am a responsible adult and can take the brat home. We need an incident that pre
Jake's POVI am putting my plan into action. Sarah started dating one of Chase's guards. She doesn't like it but must do what I tell her. And we will have to work fast before she starts showing if she is pregnant. I have been trying to get one of the teachers to date me. However, I have had no luck so far because the teachers all believe I am not good enough for them. I do not know why they think so. It's this bloody media that always points me in a bad light. I do not understand why I tolerate them. I should give them hell, but I need them to promote myself. All the media I get helps me sometimes. I am not sure that I like working with Sarah. What if she gets caught and tells everyone? It is a chance I have to take. It may be the only way how I can get Belinda back. I want her back. I need her back. She's got money. She's got everything I want in a woman. She might be the only one that can save me from going bankrupt. I have started my practice, but it's not going well. I use some of
Chase's POVOne of Connor's teachers called me and told me that Jake wanted to date her. I know her very well as she has always been a good person. She is suspecting that Jake is planning something. I have the same feeling. I cannot trust Jake Green. I know he will do anything to get Belinda back. Getting our son lost would definitely not sit well with Belinda. However, if Jake is involved, she will immediately suspect him of something. Belinda's not stupid, and she knows that Jake has his knife in for her and Amanda. He will do anything to get Belinda back, but I will not allow it. I also know that Sarah is suddenly dating one of my men. I found out when I investigated the whole situation to sum it up. I know I have to do something about this whole situation because I know they are thinking of kidnapping my son. But for what reason? Do they want ransom? Do they want me to pay them to let my son go? I do not like this whole situation, as I do not like my son being in a situation like
Belinda's POVToday is the day of my children's wedding. I cannot believe my son and daughter are getting married on the same day. I am very proud of them, as they chose perfect partners that fit them. I could not be more proud of my children. My life has gone a full circle. I got my sweet revenge on the people that killed my mother. I gained his sister and a lovely husband. I have two wonderful children and could not ask for anything more. Well, maybe a grandchild or two. Chase will be walking in both brides since Norma does not want anything to do with her family. I cannot blame her. Besides, Norma has become like a second daughter to my husband and me. I cannot believe that time has gone by so fast. It felt like yesterday when Chase was discovered to Connor and me. I am glad that he did, though. I am pleased that he is my husband. He makes me very happy.Although we are older now, he is still a handsome man. Many younger women still look at him. He makes me proud. Our love for each
Baron's POVI am going to ask Bella to marry me. I wait until she is at her classes, then see her family. I am waiting until all of them are together. I want all of them to know that I like to marry Bella. And I'm going to ask all of them for their permission. I also like to tell Connor to be my best man. I know Bella would want Norma to be her maid of honor. I requested a meeting with all of them. Everybody is there when I get to Chase's office, even Norma. I have asked her also to be there. I do not want anybody to feel left out.I'm glad I did it because I can see that Norma also appreciates me taking her to a family meeting. But I was very nervous when I walked in. I know this is their only daughter, and I will have to promise him that I will never cheat on her and that I will look after her like she is my only princess. And I know she is. She's the woman I want to love for the rest of my life. I can never think about my life without her. I cannot believe I am the same man who tho
Baron's POVAfter we left the boardroom, I instructed my guards to remove my family. I don't want to see them again. I don't have any feelings towards them. We went to my office, and Bella took out the picnic basket. I do not know how she knew that I would need this today. However, I don't care about my family anymore. It was so hard for me. She's an angel in disguise. As the officer close behind me, I walk over to her, and I kiss her like I've never kissed her before. All the passion I feel for her is in my kiss. I thought you would push me away, but she kissed me back instead. Does it mean she feels the same way about me as I feel about her? I hope so because I have created all these feelings about her. I know that I love her. I can't believe that I fell in love with Bella Stone. I never believed in love, but now I do, all because of this little woman in my arms. "I love you, Bella. I mean it this time. I'm not saying it to impress anybody, but I'm telling you the truth. I do love
Baron's POVI knew I would hear from my family again. It did not take my sister-in-law long to find my office. I thought my brother, mother, or father would be the first to show up. But no, the first one to walk into my office is Sharon. She never had a good taste in clothes. I always thought that she was a little bit cheap. I don't know what she is doing in my office, but I do not want her here. I know Sharon is up to no good."Hello, stranger. It has been a long time since we have seen you. I do not know why you were hiding from us. Were you afraid that you still had feelings for me? I should have never married that useless brother of yours. He has heard me so often that I cannot even talk about it. My heart is broken. Your brother does not care about me. He only cares about the whore he sleeps with every night while I am all alone at home. My heart can't stand it anymore. I am heartbroken. Baron, I should have never left you. I know that you would never have been like him. Besides,
Rita Peterson's POVI look at my husband, Mike. I did not think that our child would get anywhere without us. He also seems like he cannot believe what he just heard. We have to keep up our appearances in front of our friends. So Norma made it big, and she did not even tell us. She would not have come anywhere if it weren't for me and her father. If I didn't push her to go to beauty contests and become a beauty queen, she would not have gone into fashion. She owes us, she owes us big time. I never thought that she was the owner of Myst. I felt she was only a waitress, so I never wanted to see her again. She threw away the career I was planning for her to become a waitress. I will go and see her tomorrow at her office. I know where the boutique is. I never went there because I could not afford their dresses. The least we can do is dress her mother.We pretended to be friendly all night and saw her and Connor Stone leaving before our party. After the party was over, my husband and I wen
Norma's POVI love Connor. I cannot believe I am so happy to have found him when I needed him the most. Good night. We are going to go out to a fancy restaurant. I have got my confidence back. I do not even care if we run into my parents. If that's something to say, I don't care. I am in love, and I am successful. It is more I can say about them. My mother is still the socialite, and my father has to work his ass off to stay with her expensive lifestyle. Since I am their only child, they don't have an heir. I don't care what is happening to them. I don't want the money. I want nothing of them. Connor is not happy about the fact that his sister is seeing Baron Maxwell. I told him to leave her alone because it was her choice. Perhaps his family should meet him. I have decided to wear a beautiful white dress tonight. I know that Connor loves me more in white. He loves it when I wear a white dress. And tonight we are going to go to the Hilton. It is a plain reason it doesn't look like a
Baron's POVWalking into the restaurant, I saw my family sitting at the table. I did not expect them to be there because I did not expect them to be at the expensive restaurant while they were in so much financial trouble. They have not seen me yet. We walked in and were taken to the table I had reserved. "Her parents and brother are here with his wife. Are you sure you want to eat here tonight, or should we go elsewhere? I know how you feel about your mother and, father and brother. I wouldn't say I like it to be an uncomfortable night for you. I understand how they treated you, and I do not believe they deserve to see you anymore. Besides, I feel they will come and look for trouble with you. I wait a second. I have a plan. I'm always wearing my great-grandmother's ring on my finger. I will put it on my engagement finger, so if they come and look for trouble with you, we will pretend that we are engaged. I know it is not ideal, but at least it will give them something else to think
Bella's POVSo Baron wants a fancy date. I can wear fancy dresses if I have to. I have a few in my closet. I do not know why I like to impress him so much. I am not even supposed to worry about what he thinks. I cannot allow myself to fall in love with a man who does not believe in love. In a way, I get into a beautiful blue dress. It fits my body perfectly. It also has a long slit on the one leg. I wonder where he is going to take me. Why couldn't he wait until our regular Friday night dates? Is he missing me as much as I miss him? What do I do? I know I look beautiful in a plain dress. I only put on silver accessories because I love silver more than gold. I am dressed to impress but not too much. I like to keep it plain and simple. I am not the one for shiny dresses. I am not like other girls. My dress is classy and slightly revealing, but not too much. I am not here to impress a man. I am here to show myself that I can withstand a man who thinks all women want him for his money. I
Baron's POVAm I in love? To be honest, I do not know. I only know that I miss Bella when I'm not with her. Her family doesn't like me very much because we are always competitive. A father and her brother are not in the same business as me, but they still want to buy prime properties. I do not think that I am welcome in their house. I guess I will be more popular now, building around the diner. It took my architecture and engineers a while to figure out how. I've come up with a solution, and I won't even ask what they are doing, as that is not my problem. I am a trained architect and engineer with plenty of time to study with my parents. Just keep me away from America as long as they can. So, I continued studying while running my new business in Europe. However, I am not into that part of the business anymore. In the beginning, I loved it. But now I want more time for myself. I like the business side of it, and I like to see how my family and their business are crumbling. I know I ca
