Chapter 23

Alex's POV

"You know I can see through you, right?" I said with a smile as Antonia spoke about how hard it was to be related to a legend.

She gasped, placing a hand on her chest, "What do you mean Alex?"

I chuckled, playing with my dinner knife, "I know you have a plan to ruin things for Bella."

Her eyes widened and she laughed, hard. "I knew there was a reason I liked you."

I chuckled, "I see through snakes like you. Now, it would be wise if you stop whatever you are planning. "

Bella came, her eyes emotionless as she saw Antonia giggle. She was going to take it the wrong way.

But did she even care? Did she care enough to lose sweat over whatever I do?

She was so driven by her career, I loved that about her. But she was willing to ruin what we had for something that was obviously a trap. She didn't care if after this, I would keep my distance far away from her.

I should have walked away when the drinks poured on me. I should have never made that deal. Maybe, just maybe…I brushed that thought away, taking a gulp of my wine. I didn't want to feel anymore.

    Bella's Pov Alex smiled at me, his thumb cleaning off the lone tear that escaped my eye. "I said I love you, Bella."Say something! My brain screamed at me and I recovered from the shock. "Why?" I asked, whispering, afraid that the moment might end if I was too loud.He chuckled softly, "Why? You are perfect. Compassionate and beautiful. You light up a room with your presence. A perfect example of beauty and brains. I could go and on, but those wouldn't still explain why I have fallen in love with you.""But I'm impulsive and inconsiderate. We haven't known eachother for long…""You aren't impulsive and inconsiderate. You are passionate and driven. The things you see as faults, aren't faults at all. And we haven't known each other for long, but it feels like I've known you forever.""But, but…" I stammered but he placed a finger on my lips, shutting me up. "But nothing, Bella.

    “Jesus, Eliana. You look incredibly fat in that dress.” Shauna Martel, my boss and supermodel complimented. I hold back an eyeroll. As she strutted around, her slender legs carrying her with purpose, she distributed instructions to the caterers in a less-than-kind manner. Her fiery red gown clung to her figure like a second skin, barely reaching her mid-thigh. She always seized every opportunity to look her best, and on a night like this – the anniversary of her boutique – she couldn’t afford not to. I couldn’t help but envy her dark hair cascading down her back in waves and her tanned skin. She was truly a sight to behold and never failed to remind me that I wasn’t.I smoothened out my black bodycon dress with spaghetti straps, which extended all the way to my feet and headed towards the entrance to guide people in. At nine, the party was in full swing. The room was filled with super models like Shauna, CEOs of different companies, people with rich daddies, in short, people w

    It has been three weeks. Three weeks since I was humiliated at the anniversary celebration. Ever since then, my boss, Shauna, kept dropping snide comments like, ‘you church rats could never comprehend the cost of that suit’.She never made me pay for the suit so I can take insults, but she threatened to fire me. I pleaded, of course, so she reconsidered.But I couldn’t get away with such a horrid act. Not only did I ruin the party, I also humiliated her boyfriend. She kept saying he was her boyfriend like it was an achievement or something.I was sentenced to double of my workload for a month. As long as I don’t lose my job, it wasn’t that difficult to deal.I was irritated by the constant mentioning of his name from Shauna and my coworkers at the boutique. It was like everyone was obsessed with him. Even tabloids. I can’t really see what they see in him, apart from his eyes. And his muscles his suit did a bad job in hiding. Oh, also his deep smooth baritone voice…“Earth to Eliana.”

    “What?” my voice trembled. My knees almost gave up in fear.My ears couldn’t believe what I had just heard neither could my brain digest it.“What did you say?”He got up, head almost reaching the ceiling as he made his way slowly towards me.I shivered as he got closer, leaning down, his lips slightly grazing my ear as he whispered.“You know, I’m beginning to think you have problems hearing. I said, your daddy,” he said the daddy with disgust, “owes me money. And I’m here to get it back.”He stretched back to his original height, a ghost of a smirk playing on his lips.“That’s impossible. My father died last year.” I said, barely audible, but he heard just the same. “I’m offended you think I would lie, Miss Brookes. If you have issues believing why don’t you ask your mother?”My eyes shifted to my mother. She cowered into the chair, avoiding my gaze as much as possible.“Mother is this true?”She said nothing.“Coward, just like her stupid husband.” He growled.I couldn’t say anyt

    “You are free to go anywhere you like in this house. Apart from my room and study.”Noah’s house boomed as soon as we steeped foot into my new prison. It was a house surrounded by a well-groomed garden. The interior was just as expected. the living room had a really big television and beside it was a mini bar filled with all kinds of wine. Then there was a well-equipped kitchen and a staircase leading to the second floor where the room were. He opened the door to his left. “This is your room on nights I don’t need you to fulfil your wifely duties.”I scoffed at that part. His face turned cold and in an instant, I felt my back slam into the wall, his body on mine as he pinned my hands above my head.I gasped as his free hand trailed down my inner thigh, slowly making its way to my private part. I shivered with pleasure as one finger grazed me ever so slightly.I swallowed a moan as he slowly drew pattern on that part of me but he suddenly removed himself from me.My blood ran cold at

    Noah placed his hand on the small of my back, causing a jolt of electricity to run through my veins. He led me into the entrance of the hall.The party was in full swing. The room was filled with food, music and te smell of deliious food. I put my hand through Noah’s as we made our way to where Bella was with two elderly people. The man looked strikenly familiar, almost like an older version of Noah. His features were sharp, and his salt and pepper hair was styled perfectly. The woman beside him was eqally stunning, with her hair tied in a neat bun and her outfit elegantly draped around her slender fram.“Eliana, these are my parents,” Noah introduced me with a smile.“It’s a pleasure to meet you,” I said feeling slightly nervous.His mother pulled me in a tight embrace, suprising me. “The pleasure is ours.

    Chapter 22Bella.The trip back home was the worst. Alex and I still didn't talk to each other. That continued even after we got home. We barely spoke when I wanted to go out, and I only went out once. The week was the worst as I planned on how I would style my dress for the wedding at the end of the week.I tried to distract myself by meeting up with Eliana after my brother rudely asked for me to help her get ready for their date. He looked suspiciously happy, and I was happy for him.She wasn't in a good stare because of what went on with Oliver, but by the time we partnered up to make her gorgeous, she forgot all about the incident and focused only on her date with Noah.Something was up with that relationship, one minute they look like they want to kill each other, then the next they look like they can't wait to be in the room together. Eliana always blushes when we talk about sex. One would think she was a virgin but knowing my brother, that was next to impossible. Unless the un

    Chapter 21Bella's Pov The dinner party started twenty minutes before we got there. Alex and I got to the hotel two hours before the time for the party to start, and that wasn't nearly enough time for me to get dressed.Alex was ready ages ago and actually offered to help inform me that I wasn't going to take much time,but I explained to him that I had to be fashionably late or I wouldn't be taken seriously. He decided to just leave the room since he was feeling restless. I wore a sparkly deep blue mermaid sequins dress with a high slit. It was off the shoulder, my cleavage evident but not spilling. I made my hair into waves and swept it to a side, then wore my jewellery which consisted of dangling earrings, rings and a little bracelet. Wore my silver heels and after doing my soft yet fierce make up, I was ready to go.I walked in front of the large mirror, a smile on my face as I checked myself out. I twirled in the mirror. The door opened and Alex stepped in, clad in his muscle

    Chapter 20Bella's Pov I walked into the room with my robe on. Alex was already under the covers, turned away from my side of the bed. I let out a silent sigh as I wore my night wear and crawled under the covers.Looking at his back, I couldn't judge if he was asleep or not. I tapped on his shoulder, "Alex?" No reply. I tapped him again and I felt him grab my arm."Wha…" I didn't have time to process what was happening as he pulled me into his arms."Alex, you could have told me you wanted to cuddle." I giggled, laying in his chest.He scoffed, "I don't want to cuddle. I just want to steal your warmth.""Deceive yourself all you want, but I know you are obsessed with me." I tapped his nose and he rolled his eyes."Whatever makes you sleep, butterfly." He muttered into my ear and we fell into a deep silence.A lot was going through my mind. What are we doing ? Why did he feel offended when I said what I said about him?Was I wrong? Was it just my fear talking? What if I was getting

    Chapter 19 Bella’s Pov It was seven o'clock, and I was dressed and adorned for our first shoot. Alex sat beside me in our car as we trailed behind Pearl's crew closely to the venue. I felt a lot more confident, like the real Bella people saw. Beautiful, fierce, unbreakable. All thanks to the one man I never knew could make me feel so beautiful, so seen. I blushed as I remembered events that happened earlier today in the dressing room while I was getting ready, his head between my legs as he handed his daily meal. He ate pussy better and more passionately than anyone I’ve ever met. And while I wobbled out of the dressing room to show the crew my look, he whispered assumingly dirty words to me like, “I so want to fuck you with that dress bunched around your waist.” Somehow, he managed to make that statement sweet by adding how beautiful I looked after saying that. And I felt beautiful, not just because he said so. He showed it, he made me love every one of my insecurities by mentio

I couldn’t meet Laura personally but I met her assistant, who led us to the hotel where they already booked a room for us. It was a majestic five-star hotel to my taste, crawling with rich Arab men and beautiful women.Even Alex was impressed about this fact after criticizing the kind of plane ticket they bought for us, hence why we had to go on his private jet instead.The room was just how we wished it could be. It was a suite adorned with luxurious furnishings and breathtaking views of the city skyline.We settled in the suite after a brief arrangement to meet early tomorrow morning for our shoot. We had the whole day to rest.Alex was already in the suite when I walked in with a towel on his waist and water dripping down his chest.“Hey,” he greeted, taking my attention off his chest and to the teasing smirk on his face as he caught me checking him out. “I could pose for a picture if you like,” h
