Bella returned to Tina's apartment by exactly 9pm…. And the first thing she did was to lay down on the bed as she was extremely tired. “You’re back already, Bella? How was your day at work?”. Susie came out from the bathroom, and when she saw Bella, she asked. Bella let out a tired groan before she replied to Susie in a complaining tone, “Don't ask me, Susie. I feel pain all over my body”. “Pain? How did it happen?”. “It's all Leonardo's fault, of course”. Bella announced and when she recalled how horrible her day was today, she sat up on the bed and said to Susie, “Could you believe that since the moment you guys left Leonardo’s office, my butt didn't touch the chair?”. “Eh? What's that supposed to mean?”. Susie questioned as she didn't quite understand what Bella meant. “What I mean is that, I've been working and running like a horse all day long. That jerk, Leonardo! He didn't even let me rest for a sec!”. Bella explained and was panting angrily. Susie on the other hand, w
Leo's company, at Leonardo's office,“Here is what you ordered. I've reprinted everything”. Bella announced as she carefully kept the files on Leonardo's desk.Leonardo collected the files and was reviewing them. It didn't take that long and he ordered, “Assistant Bel, go bring me a cup of hot coffee”.“That's it!. I quit!”. Bella declared before she sat down on the floor and refused to get up. “Because of you, I wasn't able to attend my big sister's wedding. I’m done trying to please you, Leonardo…. Do your worst". Bella announced with furrowed eyebrows. Seriously, she has been working for the past 7 hours non stop, and was already tired. “My PA is cute when she barks at her boss”. Leonardo admitted with a grin. “Ba- barks? Me? Barks?. Am I a dog to you or what?!”. Bella got annoyed and naturally rose up from the floor. “You can't breach the contract you signed”. Listening to what Leonardo said to her, Bella absolutely wished she could just kick him again. The knock on the door
7 months later,Because of the trick Bella used against Leonardo that day, she completely stopped coming to work and even found another job. To Bella, she thought that since she had repaid Leonardo's grudge, he won't come again for her, but guess what? She was wrong because Leonardo always confronted her which made her wary of him. Like, when is he planning to leave for Italy?“Ha, I'm tired”. “A stressful day at work too, ha?”. Susie asked Bella as she was also tired since she came back from work too just now. “Yeah.. I'm so tired that I don't think I would be able to do anything”. Bella replied as she laid comfortably on the sofa. “Sorry, but I think you have to do something, Bella”. Susie admitted and when she saw the confused look Bella was giving her, she added, “Leonardo is waiting outside the apartment for you. I saw him on my way in”.Hearing what Susie announced caused Bella to react and jerk up immediately. “What does he want from me this time?”. Bella said with a frown.
It has been one month and a week since Bella left for Italy with Leonardo. And now, it's been 9 months and counting since Tina became pregnant. Plus actually, last two weeks ago, Mina successfully gave birth to a baby girl. The district mansion,“Come on, honey, I have to take you for a checkup”. Mateo said to Tina in a soft voice as he tried to wake her up.“Just give me 5 minutes more”. “You've given this excuse countless times already. You're just being lazy”.“Lazy?”. Tina weakly got up after hearing the last part of Mateo's words. And since Mateo was close to her, she grabbed his ears with her hands and pinched them while she said, “Who are you calling lazy? Is it me? In fact, you're the lazy one, my sweet darling. I'm busy carrying two lives inside me and you're calling me lazy?”. “The audacity….”. “I apologise, I apologise. Calm down, you'll hurt yourself and our baby”. Mateo immediately pleaded and was confused after seeing the confused look on Tina's face. “What's wrong?”.
EVERYTHING WRITTEN IN THIS BOOK IS FROM MY OWN IMAGINATION.I OWN EVERY COPYRIGHT TO THIS WORK/NOVEL!.I HOPE YOU AMAZING READERS ENJOY THIS STORY. AND PLEASE, I'M NOT GREAT WITH ENGLISH, IN CASE YOU SEE ERRORS, JUST PLEASE PARDON ME.PLUS, NOTE THAT THIS BOOK IS FICTION. DON'T CONNECT UNREALISTIC DRAMAS/ACTIONS TO REAL LIFE.."Good job everyone, this movie is a great hit because of all your hard work!". The director said out loudly with an excited voice. After a month plus of getting in character with the celebrities, the movie was finally done and next was to celebrate the co-stars that participated, most especially Mateo who happens to be the male lead of the play. He did a wonderful job in his own part of the play and earned millions of loyal fans. "All cheers to Mateo!". They all yelled out almost at the same time before exiting the movie site. Their next destination was at the bar close to their apartments. They still had to celebrate the great movie that would be released.
Arriving in Alexander's bedroom, as expected, Mina was asleep, but when she heard the door open up, she immediately opened her eyes and sat up on the bed because she thought it was Alexander. She hated to bother him with her sick state. "Phew, thank goodness it's only Mateo!". Mina sighed in relief as she thought to herself before getting up from the bed. "Mateo, you're finally back". She announced before giving him a hug to welcome him. "Yeah". "And I heard you're sick". Mateo pulled from the hug before he said. "Who told you that?....". Mina asked, but it didn't take long for her to notice her three mischievous kids. "You three told him, didn't you?". Mina asked with raised brows, her voice was low, it was as if she even forced words to come out of her mouth. "Of course mommy. You're sick, and you refused to tell grandma and daddy. So we told big brother Mateo about it instead". Tyler announced, not feeling guilty at all.Mina's right hand gently massaged her temple before smil
"Are you sure you're okay my dear Tina?. You've taken your bath more than 4 times today. You're going to be late for your next shoot". Jaden softly said out. He was trying to persuade Tina to be done dressing up already, he suffered enough to get this role for her, but here she was, giving him a really tough time by behaving rudely as always. "I refuse. Just decline the shoot if they can't wait. My body is itchy. You won't believe what happened to me this morning!". Tina yelled out from inside the bathroom where she was at the moment. "Alright, there we go again". Jaden gently hit his forehead and shook his head after listening to what Tina yelled out to him. This was totally the fifth time today that she complained about Mateo mistaking her room for his and laying on the same bed as her.And he totally gets how frustrated Tina is because she definitely does dislike Mateo. Even their 'Tina and Mateo' kissing scene in the last movie that they both featured in was shortened because
(Inside Mateo's room, he was sitting on his bed while Tyler, Taylor and Tessa were playing with the new toy games that Mateo got for them). "What's taking them so long?". Mateo wondered, checking the wrist watch he wore in his hand. It was already more than 2 hours since Alexander and Mina left for the hospital, and they were not yet back, so he was pretty worried that Mina's sickness was severe. "Big brother Mateo, are you thinking about my mommy and daddy?". Tyler questioned, he could already read what was going on in Mateo's mind. "Of course, it has been 2 hours already, I'm worried. They didn't even bother to call". Mateo replied. He wasn't focused on having fun with Tyler, Taylor and Tessa when he hadn't heard any news from Alexander and Mina. "Mateo, is that really you?". Deborah opened the door to Mateo's room before she asked. She arrived around 4 minutes ago, and since she didn't see the kids or either Mina in their rooms, she decided to just check Mateo's own ro

Leo's company, at Leonardo's office,“Here is what you ordered. I've reprinted everything”.

“Wait, wait, wait. I admit my mistake, big bro. I won't run away like that again”. Jake immediately explained as he was already beginning to feel dizzy with the way Leonardo was hitting his head non stop. “Good for you, little brother”. Leonardo said out before he finally stopped hitting Jake's head out of pity. Now, Leonardo's attention was focused on Bella who was hiding herself behind Susie's back. “Don't come close to me”. Bella immediately announced when she noticed that Leonardo was about to take a step towards where she was. A smirk appeared on Leonardo’s face as he questioned Bella, “Why”. “Why?”. Bella repeated with a frown before she came out from hiding and even went ahead and stood in front of Leonardo before she added, “You're asking me, why? Alright, I'll answer. First of all, you're a dangerous guy. And second of all, you're a freak. Just because I kicked you that night, you still haven't gotten over it? Are you a weakling or what?”. “You can talk all you want,
When Bella dragged Jake all the way to where the cars were parked, reality hit her head too hard because she suddenly remembered that she didn't have any car of her own since the Mansion was still sealed by the upper authorities. (PS: The mansion in Bella's mind is Tina's Mom mansion. Plus, Bella's car is currently stuck there). ‘Gosh. Even though I'm broke, when can I retrieve my car back from my big sis mom's mansion?’. Bella thought. Soon, she left Jake and ruffled her red hair. Seeing what Bella was doing to her hair, Susie asked, “Are you alright?”. “It's not like that, Susie. I didn't bring enough cash with me, and, how are we going to get to Leo's company?”. Bella said. “That's no problem at all. We can use cousin Sebastian car. Good thing I snatched his car key when he wasn't looking”. The voice of Camila was so sudden to everyone, that it caused them to turn behind. “Camila? Big sis? You followed us?”. Amelia was surprised and said. “Of course, Amelia. Well,
“Easy. Slow down, Bella. Can you explain everything that happened?”. Susie calmed Bella down with her words. As for Bella, before she began narrating the whole story, she went to one of the tables and took a glass cup that was filled with water. Soon, she drank all the water before dropping the glass cup on the table and returning to Susie's side. “Here's how it happened….”. Bella suddenly spoke out and went silent for a while. And after staring at everyone's faces quickly, she continued narrating the story, “You know I was happy this morning when I was preparing to go for my job interview at Leo's Company, right?”. Bella asked Susie, and when Susie nodded at her in acknowledgement, she continued narrating her story, “Well, I successfully arrived at the Company, thanks to God. And when I arrived at the interview floor, I waited for many minutes before the company workers started showing up. Plus that wasn't all, one of the office workers approached me and handed a document for me t
The gardens, After making sure that everyone was present in the garden, Deborah returned to the garden since she wanted to join in Mateo's birthday celebration. Upon arriving, Deborah was stunned to see some faces she didn't expect to show up. “Eh? Sebastian? Mason? Santiago? Camila and Amelia?”. Deborah said in disbelief before she added, “You all came? I can't believe this. You children didn't even inform me you'd be coming”. (PS: Sebastian, Mason, Santiago, Camila and Amelia are cousins to Alexander and Mateo). As the eldest among them, Sebastian went to Deborah. He didn't handshake her, but instead, he hugged her tightly while he said, “It's been a long time, mother. We all missed you”. “I miss you too, my sweet Sebastian”. Deborah admitted. She was hugging Sebastian so sweetly and warmly that it got Mason, Santiago, Camila and Amelia, jealous. “Me too. I want to hug you, mother”. Santiago announced and before he could reach Deborah's side, Amelia pushed him. “Not if I
Outside the mansion, in the gardens, Earlier this morning, Mateo's birthday celebration was supposed to be held in the living room of the mansion, but Deborah refused and insisted that it'd be much better if Mateo’s birthday party was held in the gardens. The garden was so huge and was decorated with harsh red ribbons. Plus, the ribbons decorations in the gardens were few since it wasn't a child's celebration. Seeing that the chairs and tables were in order, and properly arranged as per her order, Mrs Harris slightly nodded her head in delight before she returned into the Mansion to invite everyone to the garden. “Everything is ready?”. Deborah asked as she saw Harris approach her. “Yes, Deborah. Everything is set”. Mrs Harris replied politely, causing Deborah to smile. In no time, after Deborah dismissed Mrs Harris, she took over. First, she went to Alexander’s room, and when she was allowed in, she saw that Alexander was already dressed up. Plus, she also witnessed A
