Isabella~

"Let's go, Bella." I considered talking to Xavier immediately, but when I saw him with James, I decided against it. I wanted to ask him why he was treating me this way, but before I could ask him any questions, Victor asked me to leave the courtroom. I still stood at my place, frozen, and looked at Xavier with a question-filled gaze, but Victor’s firm grip on my hand indicated that he didn't want me to waste my time on Xavier anymore.

"Bella, please listen to me. You misunderstood me." His pleading tone forced my steps to halt, and I turned to look at his face. James was smiling mischievously, and Xavier's eyes looked at me with sadness. My heart briefly begged me to listen to Xavier, but as soon as I saw James' unceasing smile, I realized that this was all part of his shady scheme.

"Once a cheater, always a cheater; now I have nothing to listen to." I tried to control my resentment, but James' smile only made me feel worse about the judge's decision.

"Let's go, darling." I

    Isabella~“Open your eyes, Bella.” I felt a gentle tap on my cheek and I opened my eyes. Xavier was standing in front of me.“Xavier, Nathan… I want to go there.” I tried to get up from my bed, but Xavier held my shoulder and stopped me.“Bella, you need to rest now. We can't change fate.” Nathan’s death is a shock for all of us. Xavier’s face filled with sadness.“No, this was not fate; it was a mistake. He died at my place. Jordan Lucas planted that bomb for me but Nathan died.” I cried loudly, remembering the sad news I heard a few hours ago over my phone from a police officer.“Bella, don't blame yourself; fate had already decided that Nathan would die in your place.” Xavier patted me on the shoulder to console me, but my heart filled with grief and guilt over Nathan's death.“It's me who was behind Jordan Lucas's death, so why destiny played so cruelly with Nathan?”“Bella, please calm down, or you will affect our child’s health.” My eyes continued to well up with tears despite X

    Isabella~“Welcome home, Xavier.” I hugged him happily upon seeing him standing at the entrance to the main door."Bella, I missed you so much." He kissed my forehead and hugged me tightly. His warmth filled my heart with ease. After a long time, I felt light in my chest."Mr. and Mrs. Thompson, this is not your bedroom. Please look at your surroundings." James fake-coughed to grab our attention. When I saw James and other family members grinning mischievously at us, my cheeks began to flush."Dad, I brought you a welcome gift." Alan presented him with a flower from our garden."Thank you, my son." Xavier knelt before Alan and planted a kiss on his forehead."Mama, I also brought a flower for you." Alan turned to me and presented me with a flower."Why me?" I looked at him with confusion."Because you are going to give me a brother soon." Alan’s cheerful voice echoed in the hall."How do you know it's a boy?" I took a flower from his hand and raised my brow at him."I talked to my bro

    Xavier~“Xavier, how are you feeling now?” As soon as I opened my eyes, Bella's concerned voice hit my ear."Bella, are you all right? How’s my baby?" I worriedly glanced at her belly."Xavier, relax. Everything is fine except you." She asked me not to get up from bed."I would like to speak with your doctor." My worry still has not subsided even after seeing her in front of my eyes standing fine."Xavier, I will take you to my doctor later. First, you need to heal your wound." She glanced back at my bandage."Don't worry about me; I am fine." I made an effort to hide my suffering from her and pretend that nothing had happened."Don't lie to me, Xavier; I know you're not feeling well. Lay down on your bed quietly." She reprimanded me before taking a seat on the stool beside my bed. Her hand tightened unconsciously on her belly, and she glanced toward the window as if trying to keep something troubling her mind at bay."Xavier, how are you feeling now?" James and Lincoln entered my roo

    Isabella~“Mr. Lincon, are you sure?” Uncle Joseph looked at him with confusion as Lincon once again returned to the witness box."Yes, my lord, I am 100% sure now. I apologize for lying to the court earlier, but I was concerned about my family's safety. Jordan Lucas kidnapped my family and threatened me that if I opened my mouth in court, he would kill them." Lincon wiped off his forehead to clean his sweat.I turned to look at James, and I noticed that Linda and her son were standing behind him. Now I understood the whole situation, so I got up from my chair once again to prove Jordan Lucas' crime in front of the judge."My lord, Miss Luis was right. Jordan Lucas is Lisa Morgan's son. Jordan Lucas killed his stepsister, Alicia, and he and his mother killed Bella's father." Lincon conveyed the truth in a single sentence.The courtroom once again fell silent. Uncle Joseph's face clouded with seriousness."Since you already told us that you knew nothing about Jordan Lucas' life and tha

  • Reclaimed by the Billionaire    Lincon's testimony

    Xavier~“What are you doing, Bella?” My eyes were wide open in shock on seeing her drastic move. How can she call Lincon to the witness box for testimony when she is aware that Lincon will not directly support her by deceiving Jordan Lucas? He already said last night that he will not support us in front of Jordan Lucas."Permission granted." Uncle Joseph allowed Bella to testify to Lincon about the story she just shared in court. Although she didn't lie about anything in this story and submitted relevant proofs to justify her stories from time to time, still Uncle Joseph did not seem fully convinced by her story.Why is she calling the prosecutor to the witness box? Has she lost her mind? The whisper in the court reached my ears."Silence!" Uncle Joseph hammered his gavel to appeal to the public in the courtroom to maintain court decorum.I looked at my family once again sitting in the courtroom crowd. I didn't see Linda and her son in the courtroom, but my dad was sitting with Alan

    Isabella~“Objection, My lord, the defending lawyer is now misleading the court.”Lincon got up from his chair to interrupt my interrogation with Lisa Morgan. His eyes blazed with anger and frustration. What's causing him to be angry? Until morning he agreed to support me, so what happened behind my back that his eyes filled with hatred for me once again?"Objection overruled. Miss Luis, please continue." Uncle Joseph ignored Lincon's objection and gestured to me to continue my argument."My lord, when Lisa Morgan’s husband discovered that she had a secret child, he attempted to persuade her to surrender to the police and become a prime witness against Jordan Lucas; however, she refused his request. In response, her husband ultimately threatened to reveal her identity publicly and hand her over to the police."It felt heavy on my shoulders to discuss my dad's murder in court. Lisa Morgan brutally murdered her husband by declaring his death as a heart attack. And she was not alone in
