Only You Chapter Thirty Seven
Bella was intentionally quiet at lunch with Gerald. Gerald and Christine did all the talking, most of which were about her. Bella just blocked her ears to them. After the lunch and after they would have gotten home, she would pour out her heart and anger to Christine and Christine knew this well enough and was ready to receive whatever Bella would tell her from her broken heart without any offense."So, I heard about a Jeremy. Do you mind me asking who he is?" Gerald asked after have a hearty laugh from Christine's funny joke.Christine was caught unawares as she was not expecting him to ask that. She did not think he would have taken note of that."Well, eh..... Jeremy is....." She stammered, not know what the consequences of him knowing that Jeremy was Bella's son would be."He is my son" Bella quickly replied. She finally saw a way to get rid of him for good. She was confidently sure that he would not want a relationship with a single mother when there were lots of other eligible s

Few minutes after Bella's taxi had left, Christine walked up to Alexander. Though Bella still held a little grudge against Christine, it still did not stop her from going home together with Christine. Bella was supposed to wait for Christine outside so that they would go home together. It was as she stood waiting that Alexander came to her and in the course of their conversation and the emotions released, she forgot about Christine and quickly entered the taxi to get away from Alexander."Finally, I get to meet you" Christine frowned at him with her hands folded."Christine" Alexander called."Yes." Christine answered. "I can see how you've made it your goal to bother my friend" She added. She had seen them just at the point when Bella quickly entered the taxi and left."I'm not bothering her" Alexander defended."Then what are you doing?" Christine asked."I'm trying to explain myself to her. To tell her the real reason I left with Sophia" Alexander said.You don't need to repeat tha

It was a huge event for the Grandes and the Michaels. The day for the much awaited and anticipated merger had finally arrived. Claudia had the press present. Sophia and her father were so much excited to see the first phase of their dream come true. Alexander could see them giving themselves a knowing look, smiling.All the parties involved signed the necessary documents and had the two empires merged with the Grandes and the Michaels having 50percent shares equally. Their individual empires were now a huge partnership empire involving only two parties. The name for the newly formed empire was 'INVICTA'.After the signing was completed, the after-party followed. It was a huge party to celebrate the creation of the new unstoppable empire. Big personalities were present for the party.

Sophia immediately took the merger contract to her father in his house and showed him. Douglas, Sophia's father was equally stunned as his daughter. He also brought out his own copy of the contract to see that it was the same thing; 49 percent for him and 51 for the Grandes."What sort of treachery is this!" he roared."Alexander is the one responsible for this and I don't know how he did it" Sophia said."Perhaps his parents are involved in this. Especially that woman, Claudia. She is a very cunning and devilish woman" Douglas said."You're right dad" Sophia said."I'm not going to take this lightly" Douglas said.Without any further ado, Douglas called Felix for an urgent meeting at the Invicta. That same evening, Douglas was at the Grandes mansion. He went there because Felix and Claudia insisted that they could not go to the Invicta that evening.They were at the living room upstairs and Douglas showed Felix and Claudia the merger contract. The Grande couple were equally surprised

Alexander went back to his car, with teary eyes. Maybe Bella was right, Jeremy was not his son. 'What if she was lying?' He asked himself again. It was possible that she had said that because she was angry. He did not know what to think. He wondered again about the man who had come to pick them. Maybe he was Bella's boyfriend, he reasoned again. Everything was proving that thought to be true. Jeremy was also so close to him. He thought if that could be the father of Jeremy, but he ruled out that thought when he remembered that the boy addressed him as uncle.Seeming frustrated, he started his car and started driving. He was determined to know the truth about Jeremy. He still perceived that the boy was his son and Bella lied because she was still mad at him for everything. Then about the Gerald guy, he sincerely prayed and hoped that Bella was not in a serious relationship with him, because he wanted to win Bella back and it would be very difficult if that was the case.*****Alexande

Bella realized that she had judged Alexander wrongly for those five years. He was actually a hero who had sacrificed his happiness to save her life and her father's, but she had tagged him a devil who lured her, used her and then dumped her.She was in deep thoughts as she was in the taxi with her son, Jeremy, on their way home. The exciting adventure that Jeremy was narrating to his mother were far from her ears. Bella was thinking, what was going to happen? Is the truth supposed to make her instantly love Alexander again? Is she meant to go back to him and be his mistress? Or did he plan to divorce Sophia and marry her? She kept wondering till she heard and felt Jeremy's hand on her arm;"Mummy" he calledBella came back to realize that she was already in front of her house. She paid the driver and came down with her son.Entering the living room, she saw Gerald in the living room, Christine was just coming out from the kitchen.

Bella and Gerald arrived at an expensive restaurant. Bella was wowed by the interior decor of the lobby. All the people she saw walking in and out of the place were people of class and of high Calibre in the city. She thought to herself that the food there would be very expensive.She leaned in towards Gerald as they walked to the reception, "This place is so huge and expensive. Are you really sure about us eating here?" She asked him, whispering.Gerald smiled, "Don't worry about that. Just focus on tonight." He assured and Bella kept quiet.The receptionist, soon called a waiter to escort them to their reserved table. Bella had thought that she was wowed on seeing the lobby and the reception but when she walked into the main dining area she was almost frozen. She comported herself till she got to her table."This place is extremely beautiful." She said to Gerald."Yes, it's one of the best places to dine and it is the perfect place to take you to" He said.Bella blushed.She quickl

After, watching them leave, Alexander followed suit, walking ahead of Sophia."Alex" Sophia called out, following him."Alex" she called out again.Alexander was already by the car and he turned to her. She finally got to him."Must you start trouble every time?" Alexander asked her."Every time?" Sophia frowned, "Are you saying that I'm trouble?" "Yes, you are trouble. You know what, we'll never go together for any meeting or any outing from now on. I'll handle my company's meetings myself, alone" He said and before Sophia could respond, he quickly entered the car and zoomed off, leaving Sophia alone intentionally."You Bastard!" Sophia cursed under her breath. She knew that he had intentionally left her there. She quickly brought out her phone and called a driver to come and get her.Gerald, after taking Bella out of the restaurant to his car, was quiet. He did not start the car immediately. Bella noticed his moodiness."I'm sorry that I haven't said anything about my past relatio

It was time. Everything was set according to their plans. Amor's army-trained men had scouted the location with the help of that same tiny, undetectable drone and the men were able to locate important spots and entry into the building.The building was a fancy bungalow situated somewhere along the borders of the city, quite far from the main town. The surrounding was deserted and only few abandoned and half demolished buildings were in sight. Alexander drove there with the evidence and alone as Sophia had demanded and was allowed in through the gate by Sophia's armed men. He was directed on where to part his convertible, which he did and them came down. The armed men searched him thoroughly to be sure he wasn't with any arms, wires of any sort, or cameras and then, they escorted him into the house and led him past the empty room, which was supposed to be the living room, through a corridor and into another room, where Sophia and her father were seated on two dinning chairs at the rou

The room was silent. It had been that way for about three hours. Everyone was present in Bella's living room waiting for Sophia's call. Jeremy has been gone for more than twelve hours and with no where to start, they were earnestly waiting for the kidnapper to call and place their demands."Why won't she call already?" Bella was angry and getting frustrated. She just paced round the living room."I sware, if anything happens to me son, I'll hunt Sophia down" She cursed angrily."Darling, relax" Amor spoke to her from the sofa where she sat. "That woman will not hurt Jeremy since she wants to get Invicta. Maybe she is trying to make a full proof plan before calling. Let's wait for her call""That's what I am waiting for" Bella said and continued pacing."Why don't you sir down?" Amor asked her"I'm okay this way" Bella replied.Time was gradually passing by and Sophia had not still called. Alexander was seriously holding in his anger. A glance at him and one could see his bloody eyes a

Sophia and her father made the plans for Jeremy's abduction that night before Sophia returned home. According to their plan, they would spend the next day, monitoring every move Bella and her son would make and then the day after, Jeremy would be successfully abducted. This was for them to be very sure before launching any attack and endangering themselves. Sophia said nothing to Alexander after she returned home that night. Alexander also ignored her presence. Things seemed to be drawing to the end. Alexander could see a life without the troubles of Sophia and her father drawing near and Sophia could see the whole of Invicta becoming hers. Two antagonizing plans of which only one can emerge victorious. Alexander held onto the faith that good will always triumph over evil and he strongly believed so.Alexander was thinking, as he laid on the bed. He had not told his parents about what was going on and he knew that he had to tell them. The problem was how to tell them without Sophia's

Amor's men were able to crack the accounts and they sent all the findings to Amor. It was during the weekend get together for the family, with Christine that Amor revealed the findings. The Michaels were in fact, the dangerous drug cartel terrorising the country. That was how they were able to sustain their dead empire. Bella was shocked and immediately forwarded the message to Alexander.*****The Grandes were having dinner when Alexander's phone chimed and he picked up his phone to read the message Bella had sent him. Sophia had her suspicious eyes on him. With the shocked expression that lasted on his face for a split second, Sophia knew that he was up to something. That message definitely had something to do with her. She was sensitive to remove her gaze from Alexander the very moment he wanted to look at her, just after he had finished reading the message. That gesture confirmed her suspicion. Alexander had something against her and she was immediately anxious. The paperwork was

Bella was stunned by what she was hearing. Her mother was plagued with cervical cancer and was near her death. Tears rolled down her eyes. Bella was no longer sure if she still hated her mother or was pained that she was suffering in sickness and would soon die."How?" Bella managed asked."I don't know....I think it's a punishment for my wrongs" Amor said.Bella felt very bad. That moment she dropped all her anger and hatred and stood up to sit beside her mother. She gave her a long hug in tears before releasing her."I forgive you mother" Bella said."Thank you sweetheart" Amor said, touching Bella cheek lovingly.After enjoying that affectionate moment, Bella spoke;"I'm sure there's a way to cure this.....this cancer thing. It's just money and I can borrow money from someone....." She quickly looked at her father, then back to her mother, "We'll take you to India, where I hear that they are good in medicine. You'll be fine mother, you won't die" "Hey!" Amor called softly, "I've t

Alexander was relaxing in his favourite place, the garden, with some refreshments. The evening was cool and enticing. As he relaxed, he thought of Bella once again, the times they had spent in the garden. It was very beautiful, every moment he had spent with her. He would have her again, he assured himself and took a bite of his snacks.His phone rang and he answered it;"Hey Duke, what do you have for me?" he asked the caller."Nothing much Alex. These accounts you sent me are very very tight. I can't crack them. I've been trying but all seems futile." Duke replied over the phone.That was not the news Alexander wanted to hear."But there's something you can do, definitely" Alexander pleaded"I really need these accounts to be cracked. It's very urgent and very important for me. Surely you must have a way....I.....I'm ready to pay to get it done." Alexander added."Alright Alex. I'll have it sent to a guy I know....and let's see if he can get through it" Duke replied him."Thanks a l

Alexander had a lot of work to do. Sophia's secret is to be unravelled. He needed to trace the source of the monthly inflow of profit for the businesses, which were previously under the Michaels empire, and he was going to do it secretly. Sophia would not be able to perceive what was going on, till the day she would be fully exposed.Sophia, on the other hand, was thinking about the perfect kidnap plan for Madame Claudia. It was as though Madame Claudia knew and had doubled her security since the merger was signed. It made matters more difficult for Sophia, but not impossible for her. Sophia had made all the necessary arrangements and with full faith, she was assured that the bodyguards of Claudia would be helpless when her own men would attack. All she was waiting for was the papers of attorney and then, she would have Claudia abducted and then get Alexander to give her all of Invicta. ******Alexander had gone to the restaurant that noon with the hope that he would find Bella closi

Bella's business plan was done and after making the necessary corrections, Gerald sent Bella the full amount she needed to start her restaurant. Gerald did not stop there, he also accompanied her in sourcing for a good building at a good location. They had already been to five different shops that evening and were seated at a cafe to relax and then make a decision."Who knew that shops cost this much" Bella complained with a slight frown on her face as she was staring at the paper containing the quotation for the cost of five different shops."It's very costly because we're buying it" Gerald smiled."Still, it's expensive" Bella said.The waiter dropped their orders, two cups of warm coffee and two plates of doughnuts on the table and left.Gerald drank from his cup of warm coffee and took a doughnut in his hand."So, which one are you picking?" he asked and bite out of his doughnut."I'm drawn to two choices. The one at Skyler's street and the last one we saw" Bella said."I prefer

It was somewhere in town, at an open air street food stand, Bella and Alexander sat down to talk Two plates of spicy beef kebabs and two milkshakes were before them.Alexander started off by repeating in details, what he had told her before, about Sophia's threat on her and her father's life to get him to marry her. "I didn't know that Sophia did something like that." Bella said."She did. Now you know why I had to leave with her." Alexander said.Bella drew in a deep breath and released it slowly."I'm sorry for thinking that you had used me and dumped me. " Bella said with remorse."All these years, I had hated you. I regretted ever knowing you. I cursed you, Alex" Tears formed in Bella's eyes as she spoke."I know. And I understand why you had felt that way. I had left without a trace and it's natural to think that. I would have thought and reacted the same as you did." Alexander said.They were silent for a while."So how has these five years been for you?" Bella asked him."Not
