BELLA’s POV

My head throbbed with a dull ache, and I struggled to remember where the hell I was for a moment.

Blinking against the gentle light, I gradually became aware of my surroundings – the cozy bed, the soothing hum of the air conditioner, and Aaron, seated at the small desk with his laptop open.

Rubbing my temples, I shifted slightly and noticed a glass of water and painkillers on the bedside table. With a grateful sigh, I reached for them, silently acknowledging Aaron's considerate gesture.

"What happened last night?" I croaked, my voice barely above a whisper.

Aaron glanced up from his laptop, a playful smile tugging at his lips. "Ah, the queen awakens. How's your head?"

I shot him a wry grin as I downed the painkillers with a gulp of water. "Better, thanks."

Memories of the previous night began to surface, hazy and fragmented. Dancing, laughter, and too many shots of tequila – all swirling together.

My brows furrowed as I continued to watch, my curiosity giving way to a growing discomfort. Wasn’t she supposed to focus on her work and stop with the talking? "How's the pressure? Is this comfortable for you?" she asked, her voice almost a purr. Aaron's voice, warm and polite, drifted across the room. "Yes, that's perfect. Thank you." Her fingers lingered and her movements were becoming more deliberate. Of course,I could not always keep my mouth shut,sorry.I had to say what was on my mind. I couldn't hold back any longer. "Excuse me," I called out, The therapist turned her attention toward me, her smile faltering slightly. "Yes, ma'am?" I took a deep breath, my irritation evident as I spoke "Why are you touching him like that?" The therapist's confusion was clear and she blinked in surprise. "

    BELLA’s POV“Oh really?” I raised a brow.“Yes. There is just this aura you have around you that is impossible to miss.And I definitely missed your scent and also the beautiful way you smile.” He told me and I stood there,short of words for a second.“Well uh—that’s great,” I said as I brushed a stray hair away from my face,tucking it behind my ear.“I could see you and my brother actually had so much fun on your honeymoon. Didn’t know he had it in him to be a gentleman. Or maybe it was just for show?”I narrowed my eyes at him.”For show? What do you mean?” I searched his face wondering if he knew something.“Yeah. Aaron isn’t usually like that,all sweet and very romantic around women. Sorry to say,he is a big flirt and everything he does is to get them into his bed.”“Well it’s either you don’t know your brother well enough or he has actually changed.

"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.

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?

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

"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.

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.

    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
