BELLA

I stared out of the car window, my fingers tapping against the screen of my phone. I’m on my way home. I sent the message, but my thoughts drifted elsewhere. Elowen’s sudden change in behavior gnawed at me. She was hiding something I could feel it.

“Ma’am, we’re home,” the driver’s voice pulled me from my thoughts.

I stepped out of the car and paused. The maids were lined up outside the mansion, their heads slightly bowed, with Jasper standing proudly in the center. His eyes lit up when he saw me, and before I could process what was happening, he sprinted toward me, wrapping his small arms around my waist.

“I missed you!” he said, his voice muffled against my coat.

Warmth spread through me. “I missed you too, my little popcorn,” I said, lifting him off the ground.

As we walked inside, I glanced back at the line of maids. “Why are they all standing there like that?”

Jasper grinned, his eyes twinkling with mischief. “I arranged it. I wanted to give you a grand welcome home.”

    BELLADavid’s voice pulled me from my thoughts. “I’m heading inside. Dinner will be ready soon. Eat something and rest we have a long day tomorrow. We’ll visit the museum and figure out more about the symbol on your necklace.” He handed it back to me, his fingers brushing mine briefly.I nodded, watching him disappear inside. Elowen’s face filled my mind. Could she be hiding something from me? No. We’ve been friends forever she’d never hurt me. Would she?The question lingered like a dark cloud, keeping me awake long after the house had gone silent. When sleep finally claimed me, it felt like only seconds before Julie’s voice broke through.“Good morning, ma’am,” she said softly, drawing the curtains open. Sunlight poured into the room, making me groan and pull the blanket over my head.“Mr. David is waiting for you downstairs.”I stretched, the ache of rest clinging to my muscles. It had been too long since I’d slept this well. But today wasn’t a day to linger. The museum. The truth.

    DAVIDBella’s hand rested in mine, small and cold, her fingers limp against my palm. The museum doors creaked shut behind us, but she hadn’t said a word since we left. Her silence weighed heavier than any conversation could.The betrayal hung in the air between us Elowen’s cryptic words about Bella’s parents. I’d seen the flicker of hope in Bella’s eyes, the quiet trust that someone she loved might hold the answers.I tightened my grip, grounding her. “Elowen might have her reasons,” I said, more to myself than her. Reasons don’t matter if they break her.Bella’s lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to speak, but she only exhaled.Her innocence made her a target a trait that drew people in and gave them the perfect opening to hurt her. And they did. Time and time again.I would make sure this time was different.My phone buzzed in my pocket, a vibration that pulled me from my thoughts.

    DAVIDThe tension in the conference room was thick, like a storm waiting to break. I scanned the audience, my eyes briefly resting on Roy. His face was pale, his fingers gripping the armrests like a lifeline. Across the room, Eden shifted uneasily in his chair, the flicker of fear in his eyes betraying the composed facade he struggled to maintain.I allowed a slow, cold smile to spread across my face.“There were two friends,” I began, my voice calm, steady. “They lived like brothers. Trusted each other. But one of them discovered a secret something dangerous, something that could destroy the other. He was afraid. Afraid of what his brother might do, so he devised a plan.”I paused, watching Roy squirm under the weight of my words. He knew where this was going. Eden's gaze darted toward the exit, and I caught the slight twitch in his hand.“But here’s the twist,” I continued. “The brother didn’t just act alone. He used someone his own nephew to help him silence the truth. And anyone w

    BELLAThe quiet hum of the TV filled the room, but I wasn’t paying attention. My thoughts were louder, relentless, circling back to the same questions I’d been asking for weeks. Elowen’s father might know something about my mother my blood mother and there was even the possibility that I wasn’t an only child. Twins? Could it be true?The shrill ring of my phone jolted me out of my reverie. Elowen.My stomach tightened. Why was she calling me now? A trickle of unease crept through me. If she knows something about my parents, is that why she’s my friend?I stared at the phone, my thumb hovering over the screen. Get it together, Bella. Pretend you don’t know anything. Play along until you get the truth. Taking a deep breath, I answered.“Bels, have you seen the news?” Her voice crackled with urgency.“What news?” I asked, sitting up straighter.“It’s everywhere. Just turn on the TV!”Fumbling for the remote, I pressed the power button. The screen flickered to life, and there it was: Roy’

    BELLAI woke before my alarm, the room still cloaked in the dim light of dawn. Sleep had been elusive, my thoughts spinning around Elowen’s cryptic message. What could she possibly know about my parents?I dressed quickly, pulling on black trousers and a fitted shirt that hugged my curves. I ran a brush through my hair, letting it fall in soft waves over my shoulders. The mirror reflected a composed version of me, but the tight knot in my chest betrayed my calm facade.As I rushed downstairs, I found David in the living room, his focus on the glowing screen of his laptop. His brow furrowed as he typed, but the moment he saw me, his expression shifted to one of surprise.“You’re up early,” he said, closing the laptop and setting it aside.“Elowen said she has something important to tell me about my real parents,” I replied, slipping on my heels.He stood, his movements deliberate as he walked toward me. “Bella… don’t you think it’s strange? Why now? Why tell you when she kept it a secr

    DAVIDLizzy’s presence felt like a storm rolling in, unexpected and unwelcome. I let go of Bella’s hand, her shock mirroring mine, as Lizzy stood there, smiling as if she had every right to be in my home.“What are you doing here?” My voice came out sharp, slicing through the tension hanging in the air.Lizzy tilted her head, her smile as sweet as poison. “I didn’t have anywhere else to go,” she said, her tone dripping with faux innocence. “I thought maybe you could help me.”My jaw tightened. “You’re not welcome here.”Her expression faltered for a second, but she quickly recovered. “I came in through the back door the one you showed me,” she added with a shrug, as if that excused her intrusion.Bella shifted beside me, her body stiff with jealousy. I could feel her pulling away, her silence speaking louder than any words. I swallowed the urge to laugh at her reaction, though the situation was far from amusing.“You’re not staying here,” I said, my voice low but firm.Before I could

    DAVIDI was halfway up the stairs when I saw Lizzy standing near Bella’s door. My chest tightened, anger rising in waves. She wasn’t supposed to be here.Her hand hovered over the doorknob, and I cleared my throat sharply. Her head whipped around, her eyes wide with guilt.“What the hell are you doing?” My voice was low, but the venom in it was unmistakable as I stepped closer.Lizzy straightened, smoothing the front of her dress as though that would erase her trespass. “Relax, David. I’m not here to hurt her,” she said, her voice almost pleading.I stopped just inches from her. “I don’t care what you’re here for. I told you to stay in the guest room.” My tone hardened as I loomed over her. “Stay away from Bella. Stay away from my son. Do I make myself clear?”She swallowed hard, her bravado faltering under my glare. “Crystal,” she whispered, stepping back and retreating down the hall.I watched her until she disappeared around the corner. My fists clenched at my sides. Something abou

    LIZZYI woke before sunrise, slipping into the bathroom with a small bag of clothes I had prepared the night before. My reflection in the mirror was tired but determined. I adjusted my scarf, ensuring every strand of hair was hidden, before glancing at the clock. It was time.The house was quiet as I descended the stairs. My eyes caught a glimpse of Bella and David in the garden. They were laughing, their hands brushing against each other as they leaned toward a blooming rosebush.A smirk tugged at the corner of my lips. Enjoy it while it lasts, Bella.“Good morning,” I greeted, my voice syrupy sweet as I stepped closer to them. Their laughter faltered, replaced by awkward silence.Bella straightened, her eyes narrowing slightly, but David barely glanced at me. “I’ll be heading out for a walk,” I announced, my tone casual, though my pulse quickened.“Fine,” David replied, not even lifting his gaze from Bella.I turned on my heel, my smirk returning. You’ll regret ignoring me, David. S

    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
