…Bob Yan was just about to have dinner when the doorbell rang. He was silent for a second before a smile appeared on his face.“Ah, someone finally remembered that she has an uncle,” he said as he opened the door. The only person that could come to mind was Bella. No one else would visit him at such a time.However, he froze in place when he opened the door. His eyes opened wide when he looked at the person standing in front of him. “Abby?“ He called in confusion.Abby jumped into his arms and hugged him tightly. “Daddy, I missed you,” she said. She had stayed for almost two months without seeing him.Bob sighed. He held her hand and helped her into the house. “Why didn't you tell me that you were coming? I would have picked you up. Did you have to take the bus all the way?“ He asked sadly.Abby was his baby. He never wanted her to suffer. He didn't like the idea of her traveling by bus all the way from school.But Abby smiled. “I am grown up now, Daddy,” she said. “And besides, it w
Feeling irritated, I decided to speak out about something that had been bothering me a lot. “Don't you know it? I don't want to because I keep getting memories of my parents,” I said.Xin was silent for a second before pressing my hand into his. “Bella, I still don't understand why he decided to sell the company. But I promise you that...”“He didn't sell it!“ I said it coldly and stood up. “Do you think I'm so stupid that you could keep on fooling me?“Xin seemed shocked by my outburst. He ran his hands through his hair and looked up at me. “He didn't sell it?“ He muttered. “Why would you say that?“I took in a deep breath and looked at him coldly. If he was pretending not to understand anything, then he was so good at it.I sat down, and a tear fell from my eyes. “You tell me. Do you have any proof that he sold the company to you and that you didn't take it away?“ I asked.Xin sighed and tried to hold my hand. But I pushed him away. I only wanted to know the truth. I was tired of pr
…Eze drove away at such a high speed that I began to fear for my life. What if he ran into an accident?“Eze, I am sorry about everything that happened,” I said fearfully, hoping that that would calm down whatever anger he had.However, instead of slowing down, he drove even faster. I could only sigh and hold myself tightly, waiting for the worst to happen.“I watched the cameras in his office that day,” Eze suddenly said, and I turned to look at him in shock.“Eze, nothing happened in the end. I was just trying to save you,” I said in embarrassment. That day had been haunting me like hell.“I know,” Eze said, suddenly stopping the car. “I was very mad at you, but not anymore.“I looked at him in confusion. “Are you serious about that?“ I asked. I had thought that he would never forgive me.Eze looked at me with pursed lips. “Mmh,” he said. He got out of the car and opened the door on my end. “We are home. Come out.“The statement made me tremble a little. But I still obeyed him and
Red Eye looked at the man running and sighed. “How will I do it?“ He asked, but there was no one to answer him.With pursed lips, he reached for his phone. He just prayed that whatever he was going to do would work.He punched in some digits and numbers, sweat forming on his forehead. And only two minutes later, he exhaled deeply. “You should thank me properly for this, Boss,” he said.…“Eze, please don't do this,” I said, tears falling from my eyes. I could not look away from the gun in fear that he would actually shoot.But Eze did not flinch. “I don't want to do it, Bella. And that is why you should sign it quickly. We don't have time,” he said.And at the same time, a loud groaning of an engine was heard above us. I shivered more when I saw a helicopter circling above us.“We are late,” he said, holding my hand and yanking him towards himself. He wrapped his hands around me tightly. “I am really sorry about this. We have to go.““Eze!“ I cried out aloud. I regretted ever contacti
…I felt ashamed every time I looked at Xin. After leaving the house secretly, he still showed up to save me.I pursed my lips and looked at him again. “Um, I am sorry.”“It is fine, Bella. You don't have to apologize about anything,” he said, cutting me short. And I looked at him in confusion.Wasn't he supposed to be mad at me? Why did he behave like I had done nothing wrong?“Aren't you mad at me?“ I asked again. The whole thing was making me so uneasy. I would be fine if he was mad at me or if he said some hurtful words to me.Xin pursed his lips and looked at me. “If I hadn't come, would you have left with him?“ He asked.And I quickly shook my head at him. “No, I was going to fight,” I explained. I would never have allowed Eze to take me away with him. I wouldn't leave my son behind.A small smile appeared at the corner of Xin's lips. “I am not mad at you,” he said.I inhaled deeply. “Really?“ I asked. I hoped that he wasn't planning something.Xin nodded his head. “Yes, Bella.
…I opened my eyes, and I was confused for a while. The room was filled with light, and it didn't look anything like night anymore.I looked at the clock on the wall, and I sighed. It was nine o'clock in the morning.I quickly checked my phone, and I sighed in disappointment. I should have fallen asleep while waiting for a reply from him. Huh! That was very stupid of me.The text was obviously read, but he hadn't replied to it. Did he choose to ignore it? I had gathered so much courage before I decided to send him that.I lay still for a while before going to clean up. It didn't matter. I had done it, and I couldn't undo it.When I went to the living room, he wasn't there. Annie told me that he had left so early in the morning.I could only shrug and go back to my room. If he chose to avoid me, then it was fine.…As usual, Abby was the first one to walk into Chris's room in the morning. He cleaned his face and sat on the bed beside him.“Chris, I have been here for the last month. Wh
…Xin walked into his grandfather's house and found him drinking tea. He didn't bother to greet him. He took a seat right away and looked into his eyes.“You are back,” the old man said calmly. “Did you take her back to your house?“Xin looked back at him coldly. “I want to know something, grandpa. What happened to the Yan Company?“ He asked.The old man seemed shocked to hear the question. Then he burst out laughing. “What do you mean? You know very well that it was sold to us,” he said.And Xin clenched his fists. “Yes, it was sold to us. But I want to know who sold it to us,” he stated. He just didn't want to believe that he was a fool for not realizing the truth earlier.The old man became uneasy. He looked at his grandson, and he trembled a little. “Taylor? Kaycie? I don't know, and I don't care. My interest was to make XY better. I paid whatever they wanted in full,” he said.And Xin stood up angrily. “Grandpa, you know clearly that it wasn't Taylor who sold it off. Why don't yo
Xin seemed surprised. He was silent for a second, probably trying to digest the words.Slowly, he looked up at me. “Can you repeat the words you just said?“ He asked.I felt embarrassed. I didn't know what had come over me for me to say such words. “Um, I…”Xin held my hand and looked into my eyes. “Bella, just say it,” he said, pushing me to speak.I rubbed my forehead and looked back at him. “I won't marry you if you separate Yan Corporation from XY,” I said at last.A small smile appeared on his lips. “Let's get married then,” he said, standing up.I widened my eyes at him. “What are you doing?“ I asked. I hadn't said that we were getting married immediately.“Going to register for our marriage again... No! This time, we are holding a wedding! A great one.”I was about to stop him from talking when his phone rang. I sighed in relief. Who knew? Xin was capable of dragging me all the way to register for marriage.…A while back.Abby sat on the bed beside Chris, holding his hand. It
