AARON’s POVI stood there, hesitating, my heart heavy with a sense of foreboding as the doctor discussed the paternity test. I wanted to know the truth, but at the same time, I dreaded what it might reveal. Finally, with a heavy sigh, I nodded my agreement. I wanted to know the actual father and secretly hoped the baby belonged to me.The doctor led us to a separate room where the paternity test would take place. It was a small, sterile space with a plain table at the center. Noah and I took our seats, our gazes locked in an unspoken challenge.A nurse entered, carrying a small kit containing swabs and other materials for the test. She introduced herself and explained the process. She had collected a swab from the inside of the baby's cheek, then took samples from both Noah and me. The swabs were sealed in individual containers, marked with our names, and then sent off to the lab.The minutes passed like hours, and the room was filled with a heavy silence. The nurse attempted to make
BELLA’s POVI could hear the machines beeping softly as I slowly blinked my eyes open. The sterile hospital scent clung to the air, and it took me a moment to register where I was. Memories of the chaotic moments leading up to my labor rushed back, and I could feel my heart race a little bit.I couldn't remember what had happened after I was wheeled into the delivery room.Turning my head slightly, I spotted a nurse nearby, her gentle smile calming my anxious heart. "Where's my baby?" I croaked, my voice barely more than a whisper, fear and excitement mingling.The nurse approached, her eyes warm and comforting. "Your baby is in the incubator, dear," she replied. "But don't worry; he's doing just fine."My heart swelled with joy and relief. "Did I deliver safely?" I asked, needing to hear the reassurance.The nurse nodded and placed a gentle hand on my shoulder. "You did wonderfully, and congratulations, you have a beautiful baby boy."Tears of happiness welled up in my eyes. Despite t
BELLA’s POVWith trembling hands, I carefully unfolded the envelope containing the paternity test results. My heart pounded in my chest as I scanned the document, my eyes darting from one line to the next. As the truth became clear, my eyes filled with tears of relief and joy. The results showed that Aaron was indeed 100% the father of my baby.A sob of happiness escaped my lips, and I couldn't help but let the tears flow freely. MaryJane, standing beside me, beamed with satisfaction and rubbed my back affectionately. I told you not to get too worked up, Bella," she said, her voice full of knowing.Right at that moment, the door swung open, and Noah entered, carrying a tray of food. He placed it beside me, concern etched on his face. "What's going on?" he asked, looking from me to the letter I held in my hands.My voice quivered as I explained the contents of the letter, how it had confirmed Aaron as the father. Noah took the letter from me and read through it, his expression darkenin
BELLA’s POVMy heart raced as I rushed forward to take Nathan from Jasmine's arms. She gave a sinister laugh, and her eyes glinted with malice. "Scaredy cat, aren't you, Bella?" she taunted. "You're no competition anymore. You and your son can go to hell, for all I care.Aaron doesn’t need or want the both of you.”I held Nathan close, my protective instincts in overdrive, and my fear of what Jasmine might do next was quickly replaced by anger. She had always been a source of trouble, and now she was targeting me and my baby.“Leave now Jasmine!”“You do not get to tell me what to do you know,I would do as I please.”With trembling hands, I tried to soothe Nathan's cries, my voice calm and comforting despite how shaken I felt. "Shh, it's okay, baby. Mommy's here. You're safe now."“You know, I would advise you to stay far away from my Aaron. Take your bastard son with you. I do not want to hear anything about you anymore or else I would find you and wouldn’t make it easy for you. Aar
BELLA’s POVThe world around me blurred as I frantically dialed Aaron's number, the words of the divorce letter still echoing in my mind. But as the call went through, and went to voicemail, I was met with an all too familiar frustration – Aaron's phone remained unreachable.Tears welled up in my eyes, and I couldn't hold back the anger that surged within me. How could he do this to me? How could he end our marriage and simply walk away without even talking to me face to face?I know it was part of the contract that we were going to go our separate ways but certainly not like this! It hurt so much and I couldn’t even hold the tears that threatened to overflow.Beside the letter lay a cheque, a sum of one million dollars. Aaron's attempt to buy my silence and cooperation in our divorce only fueled my anger. I snatched the cheque, my trembling hands tearing it to pieces. The act of destruction was a release for my turmoil, but it did nothing to mend the shattered pieces of my heart.Jus
BELLA’s POVMy heart pounded as I pushed the door open, and the loud music from the room assaulted my ears. As the door creaked open, I froze. My eyes couldn't believe what they saw. Aaron and Jasmine, tangled together, lay naked on the bed, sharing an intimate moment that shattered my world. The realization struck me like a bolt of lightning, a pain so deep it was almost physical.I clamped my mouth shut to stifle a cry, and my eyes filled with unshed tears. The agony of the sight before me was unbearable. I mean I knew he wasn’t loyal but seeing him in the act was something else entirely. My husband, the man I loved, the father of my child, was in the arms of another woman.Turning on my heels, I fled from the room, my footsteps echoing in the hallway. Tears streamed down my face, and I stumbled out of the house, my emotions overwhelming me.I reached the car, my hands trembling as I fumbled for the keys. As the engine roared to life, I couldn't shake the image of Aaron and Jasmine
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
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
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
