Reclaimed by the Billionaire Derrick Merchant
Isabella~"Veronica Luis, do you think you can save Xavier Thompson from a death sentence?" As soon as I exited my car in front of the courtroom, Derrick Merchant's taunting stopped me. "Mr. Merchant, good morning." I turned to look at him with a smile. This high-profile case had already caught the attention of the media and all of the town's lawyers. Everyone has been talking exclusively about this case on crime channels since last week."Miss Luis, I finally saw you today after hearing so much about you." With arrogance, he holds out his hand to me. "It's my pleasure, sir." I give him a handshake. "After losing this case, you are always welcome to join my law firm, along with all your clients." His conceit is overpowering his experience. It is true that throughout his legal career, he never lost a single case, and even my father-in-law, who is a well-known attorney, was never able to defeat Derrick Merchant in court."Mr. Merchant, we are lawyers, and we do not have the authori

Xavier~"My Lord, we can not believe what Miss Luis is claiming by showing us the CCTV footage since there is a 15-minute gap between the timing of Alicia's murder and the footage. The food store is about five minutes away from Mr. Thompson's residence. Therefore, it's equally conceivable that he killed her after going to that supermarket." Derrick countered Bella's argument with his characteristic arrogance.I glanced at the judge, noting how deeply he was contemplating Derrick’s statement. A wave of dread crept over me. Derrick was known for twisting facts so convincingly, and I knew how easily he could steer things in his favor. I threw a fleeting look at Bella. How does she stay so calm, even under such direct attacks? Does she feel nothing when Derrick mocks her? Her silence under his verbal blows irked me. How could she endure such taunting without flinching?"Would you like to respond to Mr. Merchant’s statement, Miss Luis?" The judge’s voice broke through the tension."Of cour

Isabella~"Thank you, but I'm sorry, Mr. Thompson, because I'm not hungry right now." I didn't want to spend time with him because it was difficult for me to maintain my hard look for an extended period. Knowing what he had endured over the years made me feel sorry for him, and as a result, I find it increasingly harder to keep up my professional relationship with him. That day, I saw him eating food like a hungry animal, and I felt pity for his condition. I was taken aback when I observed him licking the lunchbox cover, which was smeared with gravy. He no longer resembled the Xavier Thompson I knew, a man known for his discerning taste in food. I vividly remember how, because of his dislike for cilantro, I adorned the dinner table with it, only to have him hurl the plate in a fit of rage. My heart compelled me to cook food for him every day so that he could have homemade meals. I don't know why I lied to him. Every day, I prepared meals for him and asked my assistant to bring him t

Xavier~"Mr. Thompson, see you tomorrow." She waved her hand after coming out of the police station. "Sure, I will be waiting for you. Take care, bella." When I saw her walking towards her car, I waved my hand. I stared at her car until it blurred from my vision. She is the woman who always takes care of my car keys and never dared to touch my car without my permission. Now she has a top model and top brand car, and she drives her cars on her own. The more time I spend with her, the more I am compelled to drool over her. I feel an overwhelming attraction towards her at all times. I let out a long sigh to escape the sadness, love, and loneliness I was experiencing inside. I'm finally out of jail after three months, but where do I go now? I'm not interested in going back home. For me, that house holds a lot of bitter memories of Alicia. I'm not sad about her passing, but her murder did cause me a lot of sadness. We got to the point where I didn't want to live with her anymore, but I

Isabella~"Bella, why are you so stubborn?" When I finally open my eyes, I'm lying on top of the file stacks. Fortunately, he threw the heavy files, which I had given him to hold, onto the floor, making it easier for me to retrieve that specific file. "Let's go." Despite the agony from falling in my ankle and lower back, I can't help but be excited to receive that specific file. I attempted to stand up from the floor but was unable to do so due to my ankle pain. "Let me help you." He reached out to touch me, but I didn't want to accept his assistance in keeping my body in balance. I can do it on my own. I don't want to be reliant on him like I was in the past. That's why I didn't allow him to help me in searching the files I wanted to read. "No, Mr. Thompson, I will manage." I tried to stand up again by pushing my body, but I was too pained to do so. "Bella, why are you behaving so stubbornly? Your ankle turned blue due to swelling. Why don't you allow me to assist you?" "No, Mr

Xavier~"See you on Monday, Mr. Thompson." She got up from her couch and left my office, limping. Despite her severely twisted ankle, she obstinately declined my assistance. I wanted to spend my time with her. Time seemed to pass quickly when I was with her. She and I talked about my previous cases for seven hours today, and throughout that time, I didn't see even a glimmer of affection in her eyes. She is so changed now that my presence did not even affect her. She didn't flinch at all when I carried her in my arms to the couch. "Mr. Thompson, should I close the office now?" The watchman's voice took me into reality. "Sure, I'm heading out now." I got in the taxi and headed back to my hotel room. Was Alica's murder case related to any of my other cases? However, given that Jordan Lucas is already in jail, why does she appear to be so curious about him and the likelihood that he is the driving force behind this murder case? I lie on my bed after dinner and can't get Bella's thoug

Isabella~"How did this call detail confirm Alicia's connection to Jordan?" He gave me a perplexed expression. "Jordan Lucas's phone has the same IMEI number as these numbers." I tried to dispel his doubt. "But Bella, how is this even possible? Jordan is in prison." He furrowed his brow. "That's why I'm confused. I checked his file and found him in jail. However, after confirming these call details, I discovered that Jordan Lucas is the caller in every case. It's quite likely that Alicia entered your life to exact retribution on you." "No, that's not possible. She can't do this to me. She entered my life because she loved me." I noticed the pain in Xavier's eyes. After learning the truth about his wife, he struggles to accept it. I can feel his suffering. I have encountered this circumstance previously. I blindly trusted him, and he brutally shattered my heart by deceiving me into having an affair with my stepsister. Now, he is reaping the consequences of his actions. His wife ch

Xavier~"I refused to defend your case." I was shocked when I saw her text on my phone. Bella's actions repeatedly shocked me. First, she told me about Alicia having a connection with Jordan; then, she revealed she had a child, and now this. Oh god, please give me the strength to handle all these shocks simultaneously. I sat on the floor and stared at my phone screen with sadness. Now, who will prove my innocence? Only Veronica Luis has agreed to defend me in court, and after reading her message, I feel devastated. Why did I ask her about her personal life and lose control of my emotions? What could be wrong if she continued to move forward in her life? I also moved on in my life with Alicia. Furthermore, Isabella is not to blame for my failed relationship with Alicia. I must apologize to her for my actions and show her respect as my attorney. I started to write her an apology, but my heart refused to accept the fact that she had moved on so easily from her past. I want her in my l

Isabella~"Bella, why are you so silent? You know I'm scared of your silence."Xavier stopped the car in front of our house and looked at me, concern evident in his eyes."I can't live in this house, Xavier. We have to find some other place to live," I unbuckled my seatbelt and turned to face him.His brows furrowed in confusion. "What's wrong with this house, Bella?""He will attack us at any time to remove us from his path. I don't want to take any risks." My heartbeat was still erratic from the near-fatal accident earlier. The image of the truck speeding toward us replayed in my mind like a nightmare.Xavier let out a frustrated sigh. "Sometimes I don't understand you, Bella. On one hand, you're so brave—boldly challenging Jordan Lucas, standing firm in court—and on the other, you're terrified of him?" He held my hand, searching my eyes for an answer.I tightened my grip on his fingers. "No, Xavier. I am not afraid of him. I am afraid of losing you." My voice cracked with emotion.

Xavier~"Bella, let's go." I held her hand and gestured for her to leave the courtroom."I will kill this man," she seethed, clenching her fist as she locked eyes with Andrew."Calm down. Avoid wasting your time on him." I held her wrist tightly, stopping her from following him."Xavier, you surprised me today. Why didn't you tell me about this proof before?" As we sat in the car, she arched a brow at me, suspicion flickering in her eyes."Bella, I didn't hide anything from you. I was also unaware of this evidence; it was a last-minute idea, and I'm pleased it succeeded." I shrugged my shoulders, watching her reaction."Xavier, what are you saying? How is this possible? I saw your confidence in the courtroom—no one could tell this was last-minute." Her eyes widened in disbelief."Mrs. Thompson, Andrew was the one who inspired me to provide this evidence." A small smirk played on my lips."Andrew? How?" She crossed her arms over her chest, demanding an explanation."My blood was boilin
Reclaimed by the Billionaire Xavier's surprise
Isabella~"My lord, Jordan Lucas, killed Victor Thompson and named it as an accident. He not only tried to fool the law but also he once again tried to play with people's feelings and emotions since Victor was not a normal citizen; he was a famous singer. Therefore, I ask that this court sentence Jordan Lucas to death and send him to prison." I stood up from my seat and initiated the opening statement for the defense. The judge listened to my statement and then looked at Andrew to begin the court procedure. "My lord, my colleague Veronica Luis, aka Mrs. Thompson completely forgot that this court is not working based on statements; it needs proof." After giving me a sarcastic glance, Andrew slumped back in his chair. "Prosecutor, provide evidence to support your assertion." The judge motioned for me to present the evidence. After glancing at Jordan Lucas' face, I turned to Xavier and asked him to present the evidence we had gathered. Andrew has already made me angry, so I'm finding

Xavier~"Oh my god, look who's here. The most wanted criminal couple." Andrew walked towards us and looked at us with a mocking-filled gaze. "Andrew, you have a misunderstanding; we didn't kill Alicia." I stopped Bella from explaining anything to him by squeezing her palm as she tried. I know that Jordan Lucas has poisoned his head so much that Andrew will not listen to us at all. "I don't require your lies; save your stories for court sessions." Andrew's venom is making the surroundings so suffocating. "Let's go, Bella; we will visit the place later." I signaled her to leave this place. "But Xavier, we have to inspect this place; we can't leave." Bella protested my decision, but I forcefully made her sit in the car. "You both will run away from the court in tomorrow's hearing." He chuckled darkly as he watched me maneuver my car. "Xavier, why do you always show cowardice and run away from everyone when you have to show courage?" Bella is fuming with anger at seeing me turn the

Isabella~"Isabella, what will we do now? He hated us and thought that we had killed his sister." Xavier's eyes filled with sadness as we watched Andrew leaving the house."Don't be sad. He will eventually discover the truth because it can not remain hidden for long," I comforted him by holding his hand.Victor's death had already shaken Xavier's confidence. He had faced continuous turmoil, and now seeing Andrew—who was once like a younger brother—standing against him shattered him completely. Jordan had poisoned Andrew's mind so much that he didn't even want to listen to us.James, from now on, my family's responsibility is yours. I turned toward James, my eyes pleading with him to protect them in my absence."Don't worry about them, Bella. I will protect them more than my own life," James reassured me."Mama, when will you come to live with us?" Alan's innocent voice tugged at my heart as he waved his tiny hand from the car window."Mama will be here shortly, so don't miss me," I fo

Xavier~"When did he become a lawyer, Bella?" I stared incredulously at the TV screen. "Xavier, I don't have any idea about it." In response, she shrugged her shoulders. When she sees Andrew as Jordan Lucas's defense attorney, she is similarly astounded. "Don't worry about him right now, Xavier. We'll figure this out shortly, but for now, we need to put our family first. They need our support." She grasped my hand and motioned for me to rise from the hospital bench as soon as she saw Dad leaving the doctor's office. "Why were they doing my CT scan while I was perfectly well, Xavier?" Dad cast a wary glance at the doctor. "It was merely a routine checkup, so don't be afraid, Dad." My heart became even heavier after seeing his pitiful condition. "Xavier, I am perfectly fine; please ask this nurse to not put an injection in my body." He holds my hand like a child. Observing his actions now, I comprehend the profound impact Victor's death has had on his mental health. "Dad, don't wo

Isabella~"Mrs. Thompson, you seem to enjoy messing with me, huh?" Jordan grinned as he glanced at the envelope. "Of course, I like to teach a good lesson to those who always take the wrong path to achieve their goals." I glared at him while crossing my arms over my chest. "Alright, then I am ready to accept your challenge. Since your husband has previously lost a case against me, you might also try your luck." His voice carries a mixture of shock and anger. "Jordan, history doesn't repeat itself; occasionally, new events occur to establish a fresh milestone." My heart was blazing with anger as I gazed at him. Upon discovering the details of Victor's accident, I felt a surge of anger. I never expected him to kill Victor so brutally. "Are you okay, Bella?" Xavier approached me as soon as Jordan Lucas left the cemetery. "Yes, I'm all right." I nodded my head. Xavier was examining my body as if I had returned from a war.

Xavier~"Stop it, Bella." I tried to stop her by running behind her car, but she ignored my pleadings. I sat on my knees and cried aloud, cradling my face between my palms. "Xavier, please control your emotions. If you break down like this, then who will take care of your family?" James comforted me by placing his hand on my shoulder. "James, I am broken now; it feels difficult for me to recollect my heart's shattered pieces. Victor was not only my younger brother; he was like my child. When our mother passed away, he was just five years old. I failed to keep my promise to my dying mother that I would always look after my younger brother. My mom's soul will curse me for breaking my promise." I wept uncontrollably, resting my head on his shoulder. "Xavier, I can understand your pain, but whatever happened was not your fault." James attempted to comfort me, but I was unable to slow down despite his comforting words. "How can I be relaxed when Jordan Lucas already warned me? How can

I turned to Xavier, my voice trembling with desperation, searching for any sign that this was just a cruel joke."Bella, please control your emotions," Xavier whispered as he pulled me into a hug, but I could feel his own body shaking."Victor, get up! You can't leave me like this!" My cries grew louder, raw with agony as I saw him lying there—so still, so lifeless.A nurse approached Xavier, her voice soft yet firm. "We need your signature here."Xavier's hands shook as he took the papers. "How... how did this happen?" His eyes filled with tears as he gripped the document, unable to believe what he was reading."He was involved in a car accident and was rushed to the hospital, but unfortunately, he passed away before we could admit him," the nurse informed him."No, Victor, you can't leave me!
