NICOLE“Amelia?” he asks, with a look of disbelief on his face.“Yes, your ex-girlfriend.” I reply sharply.“How can you be sure it was her? How do you even know her?” He asks me with the same look on his face.“Didn’t I just say I saw her with your mom, your mom told me who she was to you Chris and I saw her when I took the bag they placed over my face off, I saw her with my two eyes, I do not forget a face” I reply coldly.“If Amelia did this, she’ll pay for it I promise, just calm down” he says to me putting his hand over mine.I pull my hand away from under his. If she did it? Did he really just say if?“I told you that I saw her with your mom talking at the restaurant the other day and then she kidnapped me and just before the cops came to rescue me I saw her again face to face and you still say if she did it?” I ask him, trying to suppress the anger brewing inside me.I wonder if he suspects that his mom may have a hand in it and he’s trying to downplay it because he obviously d

CHAPTER 19CHRISI don’t understand how’s she still mad at me even though I already apologized and then uses her body as some bargaining chip? Who the hell does she think she is?I can get women ten times hotter and a hundred times more beautiful than her if I wanted to but thinking about it now, I haven’t even looked at another woman as attractive since I met her.She’s such a breath of fresh air, her confidence, her aura, her sense of humor, her smile, her gentle touch, her sexy eyes, her alluring voice, everything about her just seems to have an effect on me that I cannot explain.I didn’t even mean to lash out at her or bring up the one hundred million dollar breach clause on our contract, it was all just on impulse, defending my mother and reminding her that she cannot just leave because she’s angry.Now I regret it, my heart feels heavy knowing she’s still upset, maybe I should have just let her vent her anger without saying anything but I already apologized, what else can I do

CHAPTER 20NICOLEGeorge is the chief financial officer of my former company Emirates Royal, he is also the second largest shareholder in the company.He has been of great help in getting the company to the heights we reached, maybe it’s the universe trying to help me here. Before I leave, I’ll introduce myself to him and become friends while I figure out how he can be of any help with Mason and Claire.No one, not even George wouldn’t be pleased to make an acquaintance of Chris Bale’s wife but who’s the woman he’s singing to, I cannot see her from where I’m sitting but she’s probably his wife, I remember he’s married.During bring your family to work day, last year, he came with two of his kids, the couple are probably here on vacation to have some time away from their kids.“I’ll have another one of this” I say to the nice bartender “Sure, madam, would you like something to eat? It’s not always great to drink on an empty stomach” he replies still flashing me his beautiful smile. “Y

CHAPTER 21NICOLEEven though Chris and I have been having foreplay and a bit of oral sex over the weeks but we’ve never really had sex and tonight is going to be the night.As soon as we got to the house, Chris couldn’t wait for us to even get to the bedroom. The house was empty when we returned, we didn’t have a lot of maids and stewards like we did back in London and they lived in separate quarters.He starts to kiss me right from the door as we made our way into the house, we stumble over one of the big couches in the living room and Chris settles me on the seat, raises my gown up a bit and yanks the biker short I had worn under it away revealing just my panties with a visible wet pond.The alcohol I had drunk was working overtime. He stands me up and completely takes off my gown and bra, I completely let him take control and do nothing.He seats me back on the couch and pulls me to the edge, making my head settle in the middle of the backrest, my legs inclined towards him and spr

CHAPTER 22CHRIS“Are we good to go on everything we need to seal the deal this time around Ben?” I ask Ben who looks at me surprised at my question after all, I personally handled the whole thing myself.Tomorrow is the final presentation for the Rico Food deal where we get to give our last pitch and know who gets the deal.Last time I had lost to them but with them offering a rebid due to Nicole’s demise and their lack of trust in her team without her, I have the advantage and I’m not going to lose.It’s a pity the woman had to die like that, I kind of miss the intense competition between us, the last two presentations were me pretty much walking all over her husband Mason.“Yes sir, you checked everything yourself” Ben answers“I don’t think you have everything figured out, you lost this deal before right? Why do you think so? Bella chips in out of nowhere.The woman has been pestering me to make her the marketing director of my company but I keep giving her excuses upon excuses to

CHAPTER 23NICOLEClaire didn’t hide as I snicker as I gathered my laptop and documents into my bag before Ben and I hurried out of the room following ChrisThe Chairman had a mean scowl on his face as we exited, it was obvious he was never going to award us the contract, he resented Chris for some reason and just wanted to humiliate him.To my surprise, Chris was standing by the elevator waiting for us. With the way he stormed out of the room, I was expecting him to be gone already or at least be in the car.“Took you both long enough” he said with a smirk on his face and pressed the elevator button.The anger I saw earlier in the face was missing, he wasn’t exactly smiling but he didn’t look angry either but I didn’t say or do anything.An angry Chris would say something to reprimand me the moment I got close to him but instead he was just humming a tune, nodding his head in unison as the elevator descended.Perhaps this was how we contained his anger, it’s probably a process to kee

CHAPTER 24NICOLEWhy is my name on the desk plate? Didn’t he just rub my failure in my face and now he’s showing me what I could have had, had I won the contract? This is a whole new level of petty.“Okay I got your message, I’m going home” I say with a scowl on my face“What? You don’t like the office?” Ben asks with a mischievous smirk on his face. Chris starts laughing and says “Oh she loves it, didn’t you see the way she was taking it all in?”“Looks like we got her pretty good” Ben addsI stare at the both of them in confusion and anger but I can’t understand why they’re amused at my look.Chris comes over to me and takes my bag off my hand, he drops it on the table and holds my shoulders, staring into my eyes he says “It’s an act babe, I’m not angry or sore we lost the contract, I just had to do that to get this reaction on your face when I bring you to your office” he laughs again“What? You’re not mad?” I ask as butterflies fill my tummy “No, this morning we received a leak

CHAPTER 25NICOLE“The old man is into BDSM and he likes to receive, not give it.” Chris says with a smile“And?” I ask, eager to know more.“And I happen to have a video of him in the action.” Chris gloats.“Wait, how did you manage to pull that off and are you going to leak it?” I ask.“I’m still thinking about it, to blackmail him or to disgrace him, what do you think?” He asks me back.I knew Chris was petty and held a grudge but this was something different, in the few months we’ve been together, he’s shown that he can be stone cold hearted but most times he’s a sweet pea.Is he really going to leak the video or try to blackmail the Chairman of Rico Foods just because he lost a contract?“I think you’re going to far and invading the man’s private business, that’s not fair.” I say taking my hands away from his.Chris says nothing to me, he walks over to the bar and pours himself a glass of whiskey, he looks over to me holding the glass midway to his mouth before saying,“A wise ma

CHAPTER 66AUTHOR’S POV“Mason and Claire Reyes. The court hereby finds you guilty of the murder of Nicole Reyes and you will be sentenced to life imprisonment with the option of parole. All of her assets in your name, including your shares in her company will now be transferred to her living relative, Mrs. Annabella Bale with immediate effect. This claim has been backed up by multiple witnesses including the prosecutor’s Aunt, Madam Alice Lawrence, and Sister Abigail Lance of St. Stephens orphanage home as well as the evidence of the original birth certificate of Mrs. Nicole Reyes. Court dismissed.” The judge gave his verdict and slammed his gavel.Chris had fought tooth and nail to find ways to prove that Bella was Nicole’s sister and that she got all her assets and shares when the truth about Nicole’s murder came out.They were able to get one of the sisters of the orphanage to back up Aunt Alice's claim and Nicole’s original birth certificate was obtained from the hospital in Manc

CHAPTER 65NICOLE“Chris…..I,” George tried to speak as his mouth shook but Chris cut him off.He looked at George like a Tiger observing his prey. “I don’t want to hear it,” Chris took out a document and handed it over to George. “Here, I took the liberty of preparing the documents and you should be lucky that I am buying this from you at the actual price. My original plan was to leak the video and when your shares started dropping, I’d buy as many as I cared to but I’m doing this for your wife and my nephews.”I could tell George was more confused as to why Chris was buying his shares rather than why he had a video of him being intimate with Claire.George looked at me and I frowned. The man was a good man when we partnered. He helped my company but he let that witch dig her claws into him so deep that he even started stealing from the same company he was a majority shareholder in.I brought out the documents of the fake transactions he and Claire used to steal the money and handed

CHAPTER 64“Let me answer that,” A voice came from behind me and I was stunned when I saw Casper pointing a gun at us.How did he even get past all the guards we had outside?Chris’ eyes tightened and he clenched his fist, his eyes fixated on Casper but I could see the worry in them.Casper grabbed me from behind and I screamed. His arm went around my throat as he pointed the gun to my head and I could feel my heart race. My breath easily became labored and my body shook.“How did you get in here?” Chris bellowed, his bad legs meant he couldn’t move but I could feel he was trying.Ben’s eyes slowly darted between Casper and Chris but there was a mischievous look in his eyes that I couldn’t quite place until he spoke.“Oh, Relax Chris. Casper is only here to do what we should have done a long time ago,” He smirked and walked up to me.It turned out I was right all along. No wonder Casper got access to the house. Everything that happened yesterday and earlier was a farce. I wonder if Ch

CHAPTER 63NICOLEMy back was against the chest of the person who pulled me away from the door, but when the person spoke, I instantly recognized the voice. “Listen closely,” Ben whispered, releasing the pressure of his hands over my mouth.I could hear Charlotte’s saying, “I’m tired of this, I’m done.”“You’re tired when I say you are. You need to find a way to make things up with him. How else are we supposed to know what the heck is going on?” The other voice came, I recognized that voice, it was Casper’s. I recognize the voice from the other day at the spa.Ben looked disappointed as we shared a look, it turned out my suspicions were not exactly wrong. He was sharing everything with his girlfriend who was the mole that was in turn feeding Casper.I quick brought out my phone and texted my driver to come with the bodyguard. Ben had already informed the police.Then we started to hear Charlotte scream, we heard a loud bang and then complete silence rented the air.Next thing the d

CHAPTER 62NICOLEInside the executive conference room of the Strong Haven building, Chris gave a reassuring speech that was broadcast live from the building.Reassuring customers and investors alike, taking responsibility for the sudden downturn of events at the company, and promising a better tomorrow.In his own words to them, “You trusted me when my father gave me the reins of this great company. You put your faith in that young man all those years ago and I did not let you down. I only ask that you do the same now in such a time. As many of you may now know, our company suffered a data leak and the same people responsible for it also came after my life. It is said that in times of adversity, a man’s true friends will be revealed..”“I and this company are merely going through such a time, one that I know will be over soon. When this is all said and done, the ones who stood by us, our friends, will be revealed, and God helping us, we will make sure that they are duly rewarded. An

CHAPTER 61CHRISI couldn’t sleep all night. Everything Bella said made no sense and yet it explained so much.As I turned the possibilities over and over again in my mind, it began to make even more sense.Her behavior at the funeral, the altercation at the jewelry shop, her uneasiness at the award night, where Mason proposed to Claire, the iCloud name on her phone, and everything that happened afterward.Do I want to believe this? Can someone be reborn? I know I’ve heard and seen a lot of mysterious things but this one tops the chart.Bella had no reason to frame Mason and Claire for Nicole’s murder, so why would she cook up such a story? If the woman lying beside me was truly Nicole, everything she said made sense. Does this mean Nicole has been my wife all this time?No wonder she knew so much about my line of business, no wonder she could lead a team to secure a contract worth billions despite being a fresh graduate.Her story ticks so many boxes but it’s some supernatural shit

CHAPTER 60NICOLEWait a minute. How does Chris know I was doing something with Chester? Does that mean Chester didn’t keep to his word? But from the way Chris sounded, he didn’t know exactly what it was we were doing, so maybe he just had an inkling.I have to be honest with him, but how honest? Do I tell him everything? Do I tell him the real truth? Do I tell him that I am Nicole? Reborn in the body of a sister I only recently found out that I had? Would he believe me? What valid reason could I give? I have to really think about this. I have to find a smart way to do this. Not tonight.“Baby, it’s already late, remember the doctor said you need to get maximum rest. I’ll tell you everything in the morning.” I finally replied.I better have a good explanation when I wake up, that’s if he lets me off the hook tonight.“Bella, when Chester told me you had him on a job out of respect for me, I told him to keep it strictly between the two of you because I wanted to respect your choices a

CHAPTER 59NICOLEThe day finally came for my husband to go home. He could sit in a wheelchair now but would still be under constant watch. He started occasionally getting seizures recently but the doctor assured us it was nothing fatal.The board was still on him to name someone as the New CEO while he was recuperating. A new face for the company as the shares were still plummeting hard.The media wasn’t helping either with various speculations flying up and down the internet. Competitors were taking advantage of the turbulence and luring away customers.It was slowly becoming a very difficult situation for Chris to handle. Casper was still out there somewhere, probably smiling at everything happening and the mole was still unknown.“Thank you, doctor. I’ll take good care of him.” I said to the doctor as I wheeled Chris out of the hospital room.We planned to move very early in the morning to avoid the press and it worked. There was minimal presence outside.We got home and settled i

CHAPTER 58NICOLEWow, this is not going as I planned at all. I didn’t think Brenda would get suspicious and invite Claire.If anyone knew my sister, it definitely would be Claire, and considering our history since I took Bella’s body, this was going to be a crazy meeting.Brenda got up and briefly hugged Claire before the two took their seats.“Hi, Claire.” I greeted, forcing a smile.“Hey! Bella, do you know Brenda too? Small world. I heard about your husband. I’m so sorry.” Claire said in her usual cheerful manner.Typical Claire, cheerful for no reason with the heart of a beast.“I just met her yesterday, she says she’s Nicole’s sister,” Brenda replied to her before I could say anything.“Sister?” Claire asked, looking at me bewildered before she burst into uncontrollable laughter.There was no way in hell she was going to believe it but this is a good time to show Brenda what kind of a snake Claire is and to call her out.“C'mon Bella, be serious.
