AARON’s POV “I heard your wife is a star now. Her name seems to be on the lips of everyone,” Jasmine said calmly as she applied her cream to her neck. We had just taken a shower together.Yes,I had spent the night at her place.It felt good to spend quality time with her like I used to in the past. “Well her voice is amazing,don’t you think?”“It isn’t all that Aaron,” she frowned at me.”You all should be telling her the truth and don’t let it get into her head quickly. Besides,isn’t she pregnant? Is this what she wants to do with her time now?”Wait a minute. That was true. The public obviously didn’t know about her pregnancy yet. And if things got more serious,it was going to be very demanding for her and also take a lot of her time. I pondered on it for a while.But as soon as my phone chimed, everything else faded into insignificance.Bella's message was succinct : "Heading to sign a deal with the recording label,Dante Corp.Need you to be there. - Bella."My heart raced, and
AARON’s POVBella stood quietly looking at me. I could tell she was frustrated and I could see the tears bubbling up in her eyes that she eagerly brushed away. She angled her chin and looked away then walked over into the bathroom slamming the door behind her.I heaved a deep sigh and decided to step out for some fresh air.As I closed the door behind me, I was startled to find Noah standing there, leaning against the hallway wall. He looked perturbed, his brows furrowed, and his arms crossed over his chest. It was clear that he had something to say, something he wasn't about to keep to himself.Without waiting for a greeting, he spoke, his tone irritated . "Aaron, you need to stop being possessive”. I glowered at him."Noah, this isn't your concern. Bella is my wife, and I have every right to be concerned about her well-being."He pushed away from the wall, his frustration evident. "That's exactly what I'm talking about, Aaron. You treat Bella like she's your property. She's her own
BELLA’s POVMy fingers tapped on the counter as I confirmed a customer’s order. She was going to get it picked in ten minutes and I asked my assistant to get it ready.Then, I saw it – Noah's sleek black car pulling up at the curb. A broad smile spread across my face happy that he was around.These days he had been paying frequent visits to me and it was starting to grow on me and I looked forward to his visits.Despite his busy schedules he still made time. Well unlike Aaron who was barely seen at home.It was too tiring to talk about even.Noah stepped out of the car, his charismatic grin reaching all the way to his deep brown eyes. His dark curly hair was styled above the usual. "Hey there, Bella," he said, his voice warm and inviting."Hi, Noah," I replied, my cheeks slightly flushed. "How's your day going?""Pretty good, and it's about to get better," he said with a mischievous glint in his eye. "Have you had lunch yet?"I shook my head, suddenly aware of the emptiness in my s
BELLA’s POVWith a deep breath, I looked directly into the camera, my heart pounding against my chest. The comments for some time had bothered me, and I knew I had to address the controversy head-on. "Hey, everyone," I began, my voice steady despite the nerves that fluttered within me. "I hope you're all doing well. I wanted to hop on here and talk about something that's been going around lately."The screen displayed a live comment feed, rapidly scrolling with messages from my fans. Some were supportive, others speculating, and a few were downright rude. I took a moment to gather my thoughts, glancing at the notes I'd jotted down on a piece of paper nearby."As most of you know, I've been passionate about music and sharing my journey with you all," I continued, my fingers tapping lightly on the table. "But I wanted to set the record straight. There's been a lot of speculation about why I've decided to take a break from music for now. I want you all to know that I truly appreciate yo
BELLA’s POVCourtney had just left my room, and as she closed the door behind her, her voice was replaced by the heated tones of another conversation. It wasn't hard to eavesdrop; the walls had always been thin, and the voices were growing louder.I hesitated, my curiosity getting the better of me. The voices belonged to Mrs Davis and of course Noah.I stepped out of my room and stuck my head out a little to get a clearer view and hear better."If you're not careful, Noah, you'll find yourself in the never-ending drama of this family," Mrs. Davis scolded, her voice carrying an edge of irritation.I strained to hear Noah's reply, "I promise you, Mother," Noah's voice came, clear and resolute. "There's nothing between Bella and me. We're just good friends."Mrs. Davis's response was sharp, laden with disapproval. "I never liked that girl from the start. She's caused nothing but trouble for this family."Yeah of course she didn’t like me. She didn’t need to spell it out.Noah's voice h
AARON’s POVI had never been more scared as I was at that moment.Bella had lost quite an amount of blood and it was fucking scary as hell not knowing if she was going to survive or not.God please save Bella and my baby, I muttered a silent prayer.When last had I even prayed like that? Fuck. They really had to make it.Why was it taking so fucking long to give us some news?I looked down at my hands that trembled a little.It was stained with Bella’s blood and my designer white shirt as well.But I couldn’t care less about a stupid shirt at that very moment.The air felt heavy, my heart thudding in my chest as I waited for the doctor to deliver the news. The seconds felt like hours, and when the door finally opened, I held my breath, my eyes locked on the doctor's face.Took long enough. I was already about to lose my patience.He cleared his throat, his expression somber, and my gut clenched as if a fist had tightened around it. "Mr. Aaron Davis," he began, his voice gentle yet we
BELLA’s POVOver the past week, I'd been surprised by the subtle shifts in Aaron's demeanor – small gestures of kindness and warmth that made my heart swell. Whether it was a surprise cup of my favorite iced latte waiting for me at night when I loved drinking it or him ensuring I got everything I needed without even asking,his actions spoke volumes.He was kinder,more tender,more playful.And didn’t flare up at everything.He was more around these days too.It was as if he was trying to make up for his attitude the whole time and I didn’t know if he was just pretending and if it was temporary but I loved every bit of it.One particular evening, Aaron's voice held a hint of excitement as he proposed an idea. "Bella, what do you say we take a trip for a few days? Just the two of us, to unwind and take a break from everything."I looked up at him, clearly surprised.The idea sounded wonderful – a chance to escape from the pressures that had been weighing on us. "That sounds amazing, Aaro
BELLA’s POVThe low voices conversing and the clinking of glasses was everywhere as Aaron and I sat at the bar, a cozy nook where we could unwind and forget about the world for a while. The lights were a little dim creating an intimate atmosphere.My fingers traced patterns on the glass in front of me as I took a sip of my drink. The night was still young, and I welcomed the opportunity to let loose and enjoy the company of Aaron.As the minutes ticked by, I saw a woman approaching Aaron as he reentered the bar. He had excused himself to take a a call and just before he got to where I was seated,the lady caught up to him.My curiosity piqued, I subtly turned my attention towards them, feigning casual interest while straining to overhear their conversation."Hey there," the woman's voice dripped with familiarity as she addressed Aaron. Her tone was playful, and her body language exuded confidence.I watched from the corner of my eye, my curiosity growing as Aaron turned to face her.
BELLA’s POVPanic set in as we searched for Nathan's room. I felt my throat tighten, and my legs carried me faster than I thought possible. Aaron was right behind me, his footsteps echoing mine as we desperately looked for our son.We finally reached Nathan's ward, and my heart dropped to the pit of my stomach. The nurses were frantically trying to find our baby, who was nowhere to be seen.Tears welled up in my eyes, and I clung to Aaron, fear gripping my heart. "Where's our baby? Where's Nathan?" I cried out, my voice filled with desperation.The nurses were equally worried and confused. One of them said, "We don't know. He was here just a moment ago, and now he's gone."Aaron's face turned pale, and he looked around the room, searching for any sign of our son. Panic and fear etched across his features, and he muttered, "We need to find him, Bella."And then it suddenly occurred to me that Aaron might be behind this.I turned to face him angrily. "Where have you taken our baby?" I sh
BELLA’s POVHe knelt beside me, and for a moment, time seemed to freeze.It was really Aaron in the flesh! I couldn’t believe it. What the hell was he doing here and how had he even found me?"Bella, are you okay?" His voice was full of worry as He examined me for injuries."Are you hurt? What happened?"I was panting heavily, my heart still racing from the traumatic encounter. My fingers trembled as I tried to speak. "I... I'm fine," I managed to say, my voice shaky and panicked.Aaron's gaze softened, and he ran a hand through my disheveled hair. His eyes fell to my chest, and a frown creased his brow as he noticed the first two buttons of my shirt had been pulled out, revealing my cleavage. He didn't say a word, but the protective anger in his eyes was unmistakable.Gently, he held my shoulders and tilted my face up to meet his. His eyes bore into mine, and he whispered, "Calm down, Bella. Tell me what happened."I struggled to collect my thoughts, my words stumbling out in fragments
BELLA’s POVTwo police officers were talking to Richard, who appeared distressed. The officers were taking notes and investigating the scene.I approached them cautiously and inquired, "Is everything okay here? I was supposed to meet Richard, and when I arrived, I found the house in disarray."One of the officers, a woman, turned to me with a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, ma'am. We received a call about a break-in, but it seems to be under control now."I turned my attention to Richard, who appeared relieved to see me. He explained, "I arrived home to this chaos just moments before you did. I called the police immediately."The other officer, a man, said, "We're taking statements and investigating the situation. If you could just give us a moment."Relieved that the situation wasn't as dire as I had feared, I agreed and stepped aside to let the officers do their work. After a thorough investigation and some paperwork, they assured us that the house was secure.With the incident reso
AARON’s POVJasmine's words left me feeling a mixture of shock and anger. The woman I thought I had known had turned out to be someone entirely different. She admitted to sabotaging my relationship with Bella and causing immense pain to both of us. I couldn't believe what I was hearing.The anger inside me was boiling over, and without thinking, I grabbed Jasmine's shoulders and shook her profusely. "You did this? You orchestrated the downfall of my marriage? You ruined Bella's life, and mine too! How could you?" My voice was a mixture of anger as well as disbelief.Jasmine's face contorted with a strange mix of fear and defiance. "Bella deserved it," she spat out. "She had no right to come into our lives and steal you from me. You're mine, Aaron, and she had to pay for that."I released my grip on her but continued to glare at her. "You think this is about Bella taking me from you? This is about trust, honesty, and the love I thought we had. You betrayed me just as much, Jasmine."S
BELLA’s POVAs my eyes fluttered open, I realized I was still inside my rental car, and it was parked precariously at an awkward angle on the side of the road. My head throbbed with pain, probably from hitting the steering wheel during the accident. For a moment, the world around me was a blurry haze.The baby's cries filled the car, his cries of distress mingling with my own confusion and pain.I forced myself to focus and looked around, realizing that the accident had disoriented me. Gradually, my vision cleared, and I saw a man approaching, his expression tense and furious. I reached for my baby and tried to calm him down,caressing his forehead gently in the backseat. I knew I had to act quickly, so I unbuckled my seatbelt and stepped out of the car, my legs shaky from the impact.The man who emerged from the car I had collided with was tall, with a rugged appearance that seemed to demand respect. He had a strong build, and his dark hair was disheveled, as if he had been having a
AARON’s POVI was beyond frustrated. Each passing day without Bella felt like an eternity. I had thrown everything I had into finding her, but it was as if she had vanished from the face of the Earth. My temper flared as I shouted into my phone at my men, demanding that they track her down as soon as possible. My men knew that I was not a man to be trifled with, but the urgency in my voice was uncharacteristic, even for me.Cole watched me from across the room. He had seen me at my best and my worst, and he knew that this situation was tearing me apart. He tried to be the voice of reason, urging me to calm down.“Dude, you want to bring down the whole house with your yelling. You gotta calm down. They are trying their best to find her,”“Their best isn’t good enough,Cole.I am running out of patience and of time. I realize now that I have made a terrible mistake so please just let me deal with it.”“I understand man,but you need to take a chill pill and stop overreacting. Don’t worry t
BELLA’s POVI gave up trying to revive my baby myself and had to rush him to the hospital as quickly as I could. I clung to my baby, his tiny body so fragile in my arms, and my heart ached with fear. We reached the emergency room, and the medical staff swiftly took over, examining the baby with urgency. I could hardly breathe as I watched them work to stabilize him.Mom and MaryJane placed a comforting hand on my shoulder as we watched everything unfold.After what felt like an eternity, the doctor emerged and gave us a reassuring smile. "The baby's breathing is stable now," he said. "You don't need to worry, but we do recommend taking proper care of him. Make sure he gets plenty of fluids and vitamins."I let out a sigh of relief,thanking God inwardly.The doctor went on to explain the reason behind the sudden breathing difficulty. He mentioned that it was likely due to the baby's underdeveloped respiratory system, which is not uncommon in premature infants. This revelation eased some
BELLA’s POVI sat in the dimly lit room, staring at the screen of my laptop. I was grateful we were comfortable and safe in Los Angeles now. That was the first place I thought of moving to and I hoped Aaron wasn’t going to find us. While we were on the road coming here and our car was stopped,I had thought Aaron had somehow sent his men and caught up with us but it was just some mere thugs who wanted to steal from us. We were lucky enough to get away from them as the police was nearby at that moment. The apartment we rented wasn’t anything fancy but at least it was a roof over our head and quite comfortable for all four of us for now. At least it was better than staying in that huge mansion where I was unhappy.Here in L.A,not too many people were going to recognize me here as Aaron Davis’s wife. Besides, I was planning to keep a low profile knowing how nosy people could get.I found myself glued to the screen of my laptop when I came across a very interesting video. I froze,watchin
AARON’s POVThe day of the engagement had arrived, and I was quite nervous as though it was my wedding day. I stood before a mirror, adjusting my tie and smoothing down my handsome corporate suit. I couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction as I looked at my reflection. The suit fit perfectly, and I felt a surge of confidence.Jasmine, my soon-to-be fiancée, was equally stunning. She wore a flowing green gown that complemented her figure beautifully. The color accentuated her eyes, making them shine even brighter. She looked radiant, and I couldn't have been prouder to have her by my side.The grand hall I had chosen for the engagement was a vision of opulence. Crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, giving the room a beautiful light. The walls were adorned with golden decorations, and the whole space exuded an air of grandeur. It was packed with people, all eager to celebrate this milestone with us.Jasmine was grinning from ear to ear as I approached her, my heart swelling w
