BELLA’s POVI paced back and forth in the room, my frustration mounting with every step. The walls felt like they were closing in on me, and the silence of the house was deafening. This life of idleness was driving me crazy.The door swung open, and Aaron stepped in, his brows furrowing as he took in my restless state. "Bella, what's wrong?" he asked, his voice laced with concern.I stopped in my tracks, facing him with a mixture of exasperation and desperation. "Aaron, I can't do this anymore," I blurted out, the words tumbling out of my mouth before I could stop them.He looked puzzled, taking a step closer. "Do what? What's bothering you?""I'm tired of being a housewife," I burst out, the frustration evident in my voice. "I'm losing my mind being cooped up in this house all day, every day, with nothing to do!"His expression tightened, his features hardening. "Bella, we've been over this. We agreed that you would focus on taking care of yourself and preparing for the baby. That
AARON’s POVMy protests fell on deaf ears as the police officers, accompanied by my security guards, began to methodically search the house. Every room, every corner, was meticulously examined, as if the very walls held secrets that needed to be unearthed.As the minutes ticked by, tension thickened the air, and my frustration gave way to a simmering anger. I watched helplessly as they went through my belongings, their presence an invasion of my privacy that left me feeling violated.Cole's voice broke through the tense silence. "This is absurd! There's no way Aaron is involved in anything like this. You're wasting your time."The lead officer shot him a steely look, his grip tightening on the search warrant. "We have a duty to investigate any credible information we receive. That includes following up on leads, no matter who is involved."Time seemed to stretch on as the search continued.What had led them to believe I was involved in something so heinous? I couldn't wrap my head arou
BELLA’s POVThe ride to the hospital felt like a whirlwind of emotions, and I found myself gripping Noah's hand tightly as he expertly maneuvered through traffic. He squeezed my hand gently too in a reassuring manner and his other hand was firmly on the steering wheel,his focused gaze never leaving the road.As he pulled up to the hospital entrance, his phone began to ring. He glanced at the caller ID and sighed, his expression turning slightly tense. "I'm sorry, Bella. I have to take this. It's an urgent business call."I nodded, my voice a soft murmur. "Of course, go ahead."Noah answered the call, his voice crisp and professional as he discussed matters with the person on the other end. I watched him for a moment, the lines of his face drawn in concentration, before he finally ended the call."I'm sorry about that," he said, turning to me with an apologetic look.”But I really have to go now. My presence is needed at the moment.”"It's okay," I reassured him with a small smile. "Th
AARON’s POV“I have no fucking idea man,” I sighed.Cole seemed to be lost in thought."Aaron," he finally turned to me, his voice edged with frustration, "do you think the security guards could have had access inside the house?"I leaned against the table, my mind racing as I considered his question. "No, Cole," I replied firmly, my tone steady. "The security guards don't have access inside the house. Only one person does."Cole's brows shot up in surprise. "Who?""The cleaner," I said, watching his reaction closely. "She's the only one with a key card that can bypass the security measures."Cole's face twisted in thought as he processed this information. "So, you're saying the house wasn't broken into?"I nodded, a sinking feeling settling in the pit of my stomach. "Exactly. The locks are intact, the alarms weren't triggered. It's as if whoever entered knew exactly how to get in without leaving a trace."He let out a frustrated sigh, running a hand through his hair. "Dammit, Aaron.
BELLA’s POVStartled, I turned to see Cole. Thank God."Bella, let's get you out of here," he said, his voice steady and reassuring. With his help, we managed to slip past the reporters and into the relative calm of the police station's lobby.Breathing a sigh of relief, I turned to Cole, gratitude filling my eyes. "Thank you," I murmured, my voice barely above a whisper.He gave me a small smile, his grip on my arm gentle. "Of course. Now, let's find a quiet place to talk."We walked down a dimly lit corridor, the sounds of the bustling police station fading into the background. Finally, we found an empty interview room and stepped inside. The door closed behind us, muffling the noise even further.I faced Cole, my heart still racing but now for a different reason. "Where's Aaron?" I demanded, my voice quivering with a mix of fear and frustration. "What happened?"“Bella, Aaron's been accused of illegal drug dealing. He's being held here by the police for questioning."A mixture of s
AARON’s POVI was accompanied by Cole into the mansion where everyone else was waiting for me.The news had been plastered all over the television, my face and name flashing on the screen as they reported my arrest and subsequent release on bail. It was surreal to see my own face on the news in such a negative light.Ugh. It fucking sucked to be painted black the whole damn time.As I entered the room, all eyes turned toward me, a mix of emotions evident on their faces. My father's stern gaze met mine, disappointment and frustration as clear as day in his eyes. He wasted no time launching into a lecture about how my behavior had once again landed me in the middle of a scandal."Have you learned nothing, Aaron?" he scolded, his voice sounding very loud and irritated. "It's always one thing after another with you. I raised you better than this."Mom placed a hand on my father's arm, attempting to defuse his anger. "Darling, let's not jump to conclusions. We don't know all the facts yet.
BELLA’s POVI sat on the edge of the bed, my fingers nervously picking at the hem of my shirt. The room felt heavy with worry as I waited for Aaron to join me.They had still been talking about the case when I received a phone call from the hospital reminding me of how quick I need to be with her surgery so I had excused myself into the room. I wondered whether or not to tell Aaron right away with the mess he already was in.As if on cue, the door creaked open and Aaron stepped into the room, his tired eyes meeting mine. "Hey," he said calmly."Hey," I replied, forcing a small smile. "Is everything resolved now?”“No where close. I need to go see that maid and make sure she testifies against Jake Foyers in court. He is a fucking bastard and I wouldn’t let him get away with ruining my name.”“Oh—“ I swallowed hard as I watched him pull off his clothes gently. A deep scowl was set on his face and I could tell how pissed his was.But then I needed to speak up.“Well actually— I need to
AARON’s POVI resisted the urge to punch him right then and there. Instead, I held his gaze, my voice unwavering. "Jake,bring the girl out now.”“What girl?” He asked with a smug look.“My maid,you bastard. Where are you keeping her?”He leaned forward and sighed.”Do you have any proof I took her? I don’t even know you’re speaking about. “Planting drugs in my house to ruin my reputation just because I got a role you had your eyes on? Is it my fault I am better than you?”“Just because you got married to a nobody and now you’re suddenly the apple of everybody’s eyes?” He sneered. “You are nothing compared to me Aaron Davis and you know this is a fact.”“So why are you bitter?” I said,my tone edgy as I stared hard at him.“Get the fuck out of my property,Davis. You’re wasting my damn time.” He said icily. And then he started calling on his guards to escort us out of the building.Cole whispered to me,”Come on man,we gotta go. There is no need to waste any more time with this scumbag. W
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
