DAVID

Grandpa’s words churned in my mind, a tangle of questions and suspicions. He had avoided my gaze when I brought up my dad's meeting with Roy the meeting that ended in silence, my dad never returning.

The car engine hummed softly as I leaned back, staring out the window. My mother’s voice echoed in my thoughts. “Be careful with Roy if you want to investigate. I don’t want to lose a son.” Her hands trembled as she said it, her eyes pleading, filled with a fear that wasn’t hers alone but something passed down, something buried.

I clenched my fists. Whatever secrets they were keeping, I’d dig them up. All of them.

“Sam,” I said, breaking the silence. My assistant sat upright beside me, his tablet balanced on his lap.

“Yes, sir?”

“I need you to investigate something. Deeply. There’s a secret buried somewhere, and I need to know what it is. But…” I paused, glancing at him, “be careful. This is dangerous.”

His eyes widened a flicker of surprise, maybe fear but he nodded. “Understood.”

    BELLA David’s eyes stayed locked on me, his brow furrowed with worry. He didn’t say a word, but I could feel the tension in the way his hand tightened around mine. “I’ll handle it,” he said finally, his voice steady and firm. “I’ll make them pay for what they did to your father.” I pulled my hand away, shaking my head. “No. This is my fight, David.” My voice cracked, but I refused to let the emotion stop me. “He’s my father. I need to do this myself.” His jaw clenched, and I knew he wanted to argue, but I didn’t give him a chance. “I’ve seen the news,” I continued, stepping closer. “The scandal you stirred up it’s brilliant, and I appreciate everything you’ve done. But this isn’t about Roy. It’s about his daughter. She’s the one who hurt my family. She’s the one who needs to pay.” Anger bubbled in my chest, fierce and unrelenting. My hands trembled as I balled them into fists. “She thinks she can destroy my father’s name and walk away? I’ll show her what a mistake that was.

    BELLAThe steady beep of the monitor was the only sound in the room, blending with the faint antiseptic smell that clung to everything. My father lay motionless on the bed, his pale face a ghost of the man I knew. The sight of him like this made my chest tighten.The door creaked open, and the doctor walked in, his white coat swishing behind him.“Ma’am,” he greeted, his tone professional but tinged with caution. “How are you feeling? We’re truly sorry about what happened last time. I assure you, it won’t happen again.”I forced a small smile, more for my own reassurance than his. It won’t happen again because I’ll make sure of it, I thought, clenching my hands to keep steady.“How’s my father?” I asked, turning to him.He hesitated, his gaze flickering to the floor before returning to me. “He’s stable for now. We’ve flushed the poison out of his system, but... until he wakes up, we can’t say for certain.”There was something in his tone something he wasn’t saying.“Is there more? Don

    DAVID Something about my dad and Roy didn’t sit right. I knew it, felt it in my gut. I told Sam to wait for me at the mansion.The moment I stepped inside, I spotted him. He was slumped in one of the chairs, pale, with swollen eyes and a split lip. His suit, usually pristine, looked rumpled, his hands trembling slightly as he rose to greet me.“Sir,” he said, voice hoarse. “I have the information.”I moved closer, my gaze narrowing on his battered face. “What the hell happened to you?”“It’s nothing,” he muttered, attempting to straighten his back. “Just a gang… they jumped me on my way here.”“A gang?” My voice sharpened. “Why would anyone attack you?”John, my head of security, stepped forward. His jaw was tight, and I could see the frustration in his eyes. “Boss, we were late. By the time we got to him, they had already done a number on him. They scattered when they saw us, but… it was close.”“How close?” I asked quietly.John hesitated. “Close enough. He was almost killed.”My s

But there are things I can’t afford to forget.Roy… something about him feels off lately. He’s my friend, but I’ve noticed things. Suspicious things. And when I discovered he’s involved in human trafficking, my world tilted. But the worst part the part that shattered me was learning my eldest son, Roy, is a part of it too.My firstborn.

    DAVID "Grandpa, why hasn’t he fought for his son's death?" My voice was steady, but my hands clenched at my sides. "He knows the killer, doesn’t he? So why stay silent?"Grandpa’s eyes darkened. He exhaled slowly, the weight of something unsaid hanging between us.“I know what you’re thinking, David.” His gaze locked on mine, heavy and filled with regret. “You think I’m a bad father, don’t you?”I opened my mouth, but no words came. Silence seemed safer than anything I could offer.“It’s not that I don’t want to fight,” he continued, his voice thick with something deeper. “I have to honor your father’s last wish. And for you... and your mother... I can’t risk losing the two of you too. Not after losing him.”His face looked drawn, like he was peeling back the layers of an old wound that had never quite healed.I swallowed hard. "You’re hiding something else, Grandpa."His gaze flickered, hesitant, before he finally spoke. "I want to save Eden."My heart thudded in my chest. Eden? My

    DAVIDThe flash drive felt heavier in my hand than it should, as if it carried the weight of the secrets I wasn’t ready to face. My fingers trembled as I slid it into the system.The screen flickered to life. An old video, grainy and worn, played. It was him my father’s steward, his face lined with worry.“Mr. David,” his voice cracked. “I’ve waited for you. I thought you’d come earlier, but… I can’t wait any longer.” He swallowed hard, eyes darting off-screen. “If you’re watching this, it means I couldn’t answer your questions myself.”The man’s gaze hardened. “A group of thugs started following me. I knew my time was up, so I ran to your grandfather. Gave him the key to this mansion and the safe.” His voice broke. “I died protecting you and your mother… fulfilling the promise I made to your late father.”A tightness gripped my chest as he continued.“I found something a pen in your dad’s car the day he died.

    BELLAI scrolled through the files Elowen had sent a series of damning photos and videos of Roy. Each image tightened the coil of anger in my chest. My fingers trembled, but not from fear. No, this was something else. You made me into this, Roy. I hope you’re ready to face the version of me you created.Elowen called again. “I can post it for you,” she offered, her voice steady and determined. “No need to get your hands dirty.”A small smile tugged at my lips. That was Elowen always protective. “Thanks, but this is my fight. I need to do it myself.”“Just… be careful, Bella,” she said, her tone softer now. “If something happens to you, I’ll never forgive myself.”“Relax, Mom,” I teased, trying to lighten the mood. “I’ve got this.” I ended the call before she could protest further.Sitting at my desk, I created a new anonymous account.

    BELLAI stood frozen, the weight of my father’s words pressing down on me like a collapsing building. My hands trembled as I wiped my damp eyes, trying to grasp the reality he had just laid before me.“I’m not your biological father,” he had said.The words echoed in my head, each syllable slicing through the fragile threads of my understanding. I moved closer to his hospital bed, my knees weak, my heart hammering against my chest. This had to be a mistake. Maybe the illness had clouded his mind.“Dad,” I whispered, my voice cracking. “Let me call the doctor. Maybe… maybe you’re confused.” I took a shaky step toward the door.“Bella,” he called, his voice firmer than I expected. “I’m not confused. I’m telling you the truth.”I turned back, my breath catching in my throat. “Why now? Why tell me this now?” I asked, my words laced with disbelief. “Why couldn’t you just” My voice broke. “Why couldn’t you just keep it to yourself? If you’re not my father… then who is?”I sank to the floor,

    BELLA The room felt suffocating, the weight of unspoken questions pressing against my chest. I stepped out into the garden, the cool evening air offering little relief from the storm inside me. The golden hues of the setting sun bathed the garden in a warm glow, but my thoughts were far from calm. From a distance, Jasper’s laughter rippled through the air, light and carefree. He crouched beside a patch of marigolds, meticulously arranging his toy trucks in neat rows. His small hands moved with focus, his head tilted in concentration—a gesture so achingly familiar, it stole my breath. I leaned against the gazebo, folding my arms as I studied him. Every feature mirrored my own: the same thick, wavy hair and almond-shaped eyes that seemed to hold the world within them. It was like looking into a reflection of my childhood. My chest tightened. Could it really be true? Could he be my son? I swallowed the thought before it could take root. No assumptions, not yet. Pulling my phon

    DAVIDBella’s hand slipped into mine, her fingers warm, steady, like a silent anchor in the storm of my thoughts. I could feel her watching me, the way her breath held just a little tighter, as if she were waiting for me to reveal something important, something heavy. Her gaze was soft, patient, but her eyes those eyes were filled with questions. I had to tell her now, before the silence swallowed us whole.“I need to tell you something,” I began, my voice rough, like I hadn’t used it in years. I pulled in a shaky breath, trying to steady my nerves. “You know I’m Jasper’s biological father, right?”She didn’t flinch, didn’t pull her hand away. Instead, she just looked at me, her brow furrowed slightly as if processing my words. Her lips parted, and I could see the wheels turning behind her eyes. “Yes, I know,” she said quietly, her voice betraying none of the surprise I felt. “Nobody knows except... well, except you. You’ve kept that part of your life a secret.”I swallowed, nodding,

    DAVID “Who could that be?” I muttered, lowering Bella gently onto the bed. She curled into the sheets, her hair spilling over the pillow, her flushed face glowing with post-kiss warmth. My gut tightened, unease bubbling as I strode to the door.When I swung it open, Mrs. Williams stood there, her perfectly sculpted smile greeting me like a storm waiting to erupt. Her gaze flicked downward for a split second, and a mischievous glint lit her eyes. I didn’t have to look down to know what she’d seen.“Hope I’m not interrupting anything,” she said, her voice layered with mock innocence.Heat crept up my neck as I grabbed Bella’s pillow and shifted it in front of me. Her laugh was light but deliberate, like a dagger teasing its target.“Come in,” I said, stepping aside and silently cursing the timing.Bella appeared from the bed, her eyes widening in surprise as she rushed forward.“Mom!” she said, her tone a mix of joy and confusion.Mrs. Williams enveloped her in an embrace, smoothing do

    DAVIDThe shrill wail of police sirens cut through the dawn, jolting me from my restless sleep. Groaning, I pushed the heavy duvet aside and swung my legs over the edge of the bed. A knock sounded at the door just as I raked a hand through my disheveled hair.“Come in,” I said, voice hoarse from sleep.The door creaked open, revealing one of the maids. She stood in the doorway, her hands clasped nervously in front of her.“Sir, the police are here. And, um… there are reporters outside too,” she said, her voice trembling slightly.Reporters? My brows furrowed as I processed her words. I remembered calling the police last night to pick up Western and Peter, but reporters weren’t part of the plan. Unless…“Alright, I’ll be down in a minute,” I told her. She bowed and slipped out quietly.Reaching for my phone on the nightstand, I dialed the chief of police. He picked up on the first ring.“We’re at the gate,” he said briskly, his voice almost drowned out by the background chatter.“How d

    DAVID“You see,” Peter said, his grin widening, his voice dripping with venom, “sometimes the monsters aren’t hiding under your bed. They’re sitting at the dinner table.”Elowen’s face froze, her breath catching in her throat. She looked at Peter, then at her father, who had shifted uncomfortably in his chair. Western’s usual air of defiance was nowhere to be seen; his gaze was fixed on the cold cement floor, his shoulders slumped like a man carrying the weight of his sins.Peter’s voice turned colder, sharper. “Where do I even begin? Should I start from before you were born, Elowen? Do you even know who your father really is? He kidnapped your biological mother. She never left his side never had the chance to because he made sure of it until the day she died.”Elowen stepped back as if Peter’s words were blows, her trembling hand pressed against her mouth. “What are you talking about?” she whispered, her voice barely audible.Peter smirked, his eyes glinting with satisfaction as he g

    DAVIDThe sound of gravel crunching beneath the car tires faded as I stepped out into the cool night air. My guards hauled Western out of the vehicle, his body slumped but still exuding defiance. Shadows danced across his bruised face under the pale glow of the outdoor lights. Without a word, they dragged him toward the basement door, the sharp clink of their boots echoing against the stone walls.I turned to the maids waiting by the entrance. “Take Mrs. Williams to a guest room,” I instructed, my voice calm but firm.Before they could move, her soft voice interrupted. “Can I see Sofia before I sleep?”Her words tugged at something deep within me. Sofia. I wasn’t sure I’d ever get used to hearing Bella called that, even if it was her given name. I managed a smile, masking my unease.“I’ll bring her to your room,” I promised gently.She gave a small nod, her face weary yet hopeful, and followed the maids inside.Beside me, Janet shifted her weight impatiently. Her silence didn’t fool m

    DAVID“If that’s the case, wait by the car. I’ll join you shortly,” I said, waving Janet and Elowen toward the door. Their hesitant footsteps faded down the hallway as I leaned back in my chair and exhaled deeply.Picking up my phone, I dialed John, my head of security.“I need you in my office. Now,” I said, my voice sharp.“Yes, sir,” came his immediate reply.Minutes later, a brisk knock echoed through the room.“Come in,” I called, standing as the door opened to reveal John. He stepped inside and gave a small bow, his expression calm but alert.“I need fifteen of our best men,” I said, walking toward him. “Make sure they’re trained to handle weapons. Bring the finest gear we’ve got bulletproof vests, high-grade firearms, everything. And prepare four bulletproof cars. We’re moving out soon.”John nodded, his posture rigid. “Anything else, sir?”“Yes,” I said, my tone grim. “This mission isn’t a negotiation. If anyone gets in our way, take them down.”“Understood,” he said, and with

    DAVIDThe moment I slid into the driver’s seat, frustration bubbled over. My fists slammed into the steering wheel, and I let out a guttural scream that echoed in the enclosed space. This wasn’t supposed to happen. This wasn’t the plan. Everything was crumbling, and Bella God, what would I tell Bella?The car door creaked as Janet leaned forward from the back seat, her touch soft but questioning.“What happened? Where is Mrs. Williams?” Her voice trembled with urgency.I clenched the wheel tighter, the leather groaning under my grip. The memory of the scene played over in my mind like a haunting reel. If only I had forced Mrs. Williams into the car earlier made her stay with Janet this wouldn’t have happened.“Western took her,” I finally spat out, each word like venom on my tongue.“What?” Her voice cracked, her face paling as her eyes searched mine for answers. “How is that even possible?”“There’s no time for explanations,” I said, my voice sharper than intended. “I need a solution

    DAVIDThe room was eerily silent, the kind of silence that pressed against your chest. Bella sat curled on the couch, her hands twisting nervously in her lap. Mrs. Williams stood by the window, her arms crossed as she gazed out into the evening light, her expression unreadable. I leaned back in my armchair, fingers tapping rhythmically on the armrest. My patience was running thin, but I wasn’t about to show it.The sound of soft footsteps approached the door, and then one of my maids appeared. She bowed slightly before speaking.“Sir, there is a lady here. She claims to be ma’am’s friend,” she said, her voice measured but tinged with curiosity.A smirk tugged at my lips. So, Elowen finally decided to show up.“What’s her name?” I asked, sitting forward, my gaze sharp.“She said her name is Elowen. Should I let her in?”“Bring her in,” I commanded.The maid disappeared, and moments later, she returned with Elowen in tow. Her face, a canvas of shock and confusion, made it clear she hadn
