"What are you doing here, Alex?" Bella asked, not smiling and looking around if anyone was watching,"C’mon, you don't have to be hostile towards me. I was worried about you, Bella. After James came to my place to look for you, I thought he must have hurt you or done something to you."Mia, standing next to Bella, didn't give him a second glance, her expression cold and unyielding. "You need to leave now, Alex," she said, her voice firm. "Or I'll call the cops on you.”Bella's eyes narrowed, her expression suspicious. "Why did you do it?" she asked, her voice firm.Alex looked confused, his expression innocent. "Do what?" he asked, his voice soft. "I don't know what you're talking about, Bella."Bella's eyes flashed with anger, her expression furious. "Don't play dumb with me, Alex," she said, her voice firm. "I know you're involved in James' accident. And I want you to tell me why."Alex's expression changed, his eyes narrowing, his face twisting in anger. "How dare you lay such accu

"Hey babes, that reminds me, have you heard anything from the police concerning James's accident?" Mia asked Isabella as they both prepared to step out.She shook her head, her expression somber. "Not really," she replied, her voice soft. "They've carried out all necessary investigation but I hope they find out who did it and apprehend the culprit. It's just so frustrating not knowing what happened."Mia nodded sympathetically, her eyes filled with concern. "I know, Bella. It's terrible. But I'm sure the police are doing everything they can to investigate. They'll find out who did it, don't worry, you need to take a break from all of this and allow them to do their job."Isabella smiled weakly, her eyes welling up with tears. "Thanks, Mia. Just talking to you makes me feel a little better. But I'm still so worried about my husband, he's been through so much already, and now this...it's just too much."Mia hugged Isabella tightly, trying to offer what little comfort she could. "I know

"Welcome home, I know how much you've missed it," she said, her voice soft. "Let's get you settled in."Steve nodded, grabbing James's bag from the trunk. "Bella, why don't you take the bag upstairs, while I assist him inside.”James nodded, smiling weakly. "Thanks, Steve. I appreciate it."As they all tried to settle in, Bella excused herself, “I'm gonna take the bag upstairs, then come prepare something for us to eat," she said, her voice distracted.James thanked her, mentioning that he was really starving. "Thank Goodness cuz I'm famished already. What's for dinner?"Bella smiled, winking at him. "You'll just have to wait and see, baby. But trust me, it'll be worth it."James grinned, feeling a sense of antic

"It's such a pleasure seeing you here."Mr. Reed welcomed her warmly, his face lighting up with a smile. "Ah, Emily, you're welcome. You came at the right time. We're just about to have dinner. Please, join us."Her face lit up with delight as she accepted the invitation. "Thank you, Mr. Reed. I'd love to join you."As she sat down at the table, Mr. Reed made an introduction, “This is beautiful Bella, James's wife, I'm sure you both might have met at my birthday party and also at the wedding.”“Welcome Emily,” giving a polite smile. James, who had been quiet until now, spoke up, his voice friendly. "So Emily. What brings you here tonight?"Emily's smile faltered for a moment before she recovered. "Oh, I just wanted to drop by and see how you were doing. I haven't seen you for a couple of days. I was around the neigh

As James walked into the house, his dad noticed that something was off. James's mood was palpable, and his dad could sense that he was troubled. "Are you okay?" his dad asked, his voice filled with concern.James hesitated, stuttering as he tried to respond. "I-I'm fine, Dad. Just a little bit tired, that's all."His dad looked at him skeptically, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Are you sure? Your look doesn't look like you're tired, you can tell me what's wrong. I can see that something's bothering you. Is it Emily? Did she say something to you?"James shook his head, trying to brush off his dad's concerns. "No, Dad, it's nothing like that. I just...I don't know, I'm just feeling a bit overwhelmed, that's all."His dad nodded, his expression understanding. "It's okay son. Well, maybe you should get some rest then. You've had a long day, and it's late already."James nodded, feeling a sense of relief wash over him. "Yeah, Dad, that's a good idea. I think I'll head to bed now.”His dad

It was morning, and James woke up to an empty bed. He looked around, wondering where Bella was, but she was nowhere to be found. He got out of bed and headed downstairs, hoping to find her in the kitchen or living room. He saw his dad already dressed and ready to leave."Good morning, Dad," James greeted, trying to sound cheerful.His dad smiled and replied, "Good morning, son. Hope you had a good night's rest?"James nodded, taking a seat at the kitchen table. "Yeah, I did. Thanks, Dad. You're all dressed this early, have an important meeting to attend?"“Absolutely, I have few people to meet today, like I said last night, I'll be leaving early,” he said, trying to fix his tie.Just then, Bella walked in, looking a bit disheveled. She greeted James's dad with a weak smile on her face. "Good morning, Mr. Reed."James's dad smiled warmly at her. "Good morning, darling, sure you had a great night. Please, sit down. I wanted to talk to both of you before I leave."Bella sat down next to

"Hold! I'm coming," Emily replied from inside, as she headed to the door to see who was there. As she opened it, she was taken aback by James's furious expression. His eyes were blazing with anger, and his face was twisted in a scowl.But Emily was not one to be intimidated. She noticed James's mood and acted like she had never seen it before.“Oh my baby, I always knew you knew where to find me," she cooed, her voice dripping with sweetness. "What took you so long? I've been waiting for ages. Common in."James didn't respond as he made his way inside, his eyes scanning the room as if searching for something. "What do you want, Emily?" he growled, his voice low and menacing. "Are you trying to ruin my marriage? No, why are you ruining my marriage?"She laughed, a seductive glint in her eye. "Oh, James, you're so dramatic," she said, her voice husky. "I was making something before you came in. Why don't you join me, and we can talk about whatever is bothering you?"She turned and was a

Mia handed Bella a cup of coffee, concern etched on her face. "Here, drink this. It will help you relax."“Thank you, sweetie,” taking a sip of the hot coffee. As the warmth spread through her body, she began to lament about her situation. "I'm getting tired of all this shit already; I never knew this marriage contract thing was going to mess with my mental health to this extent," she said, her voice shaking. "It's really draining me right now."Tears filled her eyes as she spoke, and Mia quickly moved to comfort her. "You don't need to blame yourself, Bella, what do you expect, him being a wealthy and handsome Billionaire at a young age," Mia said, her voice soothing. "If not for Miranda's health sake and your debt, you wouldn't have agreed to such a thing. So, you better get rid of that pale look. Remember, your sister doesn't know anything about all of this and I'm sure you did what you did for her sake.”Bella sniffled, wiping away her tears. "But I think my job is over," she sai

Everyone looked at each other confused, unsure of what was happening. "What are you talking about, Phil? I'm confused about your interest in this," James asked, his voice laced with concern. James shook his head, trying to clear the confusion. "Wait a minute, the lady you're talking about is Emily?" he said, his voice slow and deliberate.“Emily right here is the reason I'm in town, the same woman who does want me in her life and that of our unborn child, and surprisingly, she's here trying to pin my own child on another man who doesn't even want her. How pathetic can you be Emily?” He said, feeling disgusted by Emily's act.“Phi..Phil? What are you doing here? Ho..how do you both know each other? She asked as she stuttered.She stood there, her face burning with embarrassment, as she took to her heels, her mum following closely behind. She couldn't believe what was happening, and she just wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible. As they walked away.Mrs. Valerie turned to

Emily walked to the center of the crowd, trying to draw attention. She stood tall, her eyes scanning the sea of faces before her. "Attention, everybody," she said, her voice clear and strong. "I would like to make a wonderful announcement. It's a discovery I just found out minutes ago, and I'm sure it will be of interest to you." The crowd began to murmur, their faces filled with curiosity and anticipation.Mrs. Valerie, who was standing at the edge of the crowd, looked around and then back at her daughter, wondering what her daughter was up to. She walked to meet her daughter, a look of concern etched on her face. "Emily, what's going on? What are you doing?" she asked, her voice low and urgent. But Emily just smiled and continued to speak, her voice growing louder and more confident.James, who was standing a few feet away, looked around confused. His eyes searched for his wife, and he felt a sense of relief when he felt her arm at his back. They held hands, and he turned to her,

Emily was sitting on her bed, staring at her phone in frustration. Phil began disturbing her phone with calls, and she decided to pick up. “What is it? For God's sake, what do you want from me Phil?" she asked, her voice firm and annoyed. "I have told you countless times to stop calling me, we've got no business together." Phil's voice was calm and persuasive on the other end of the line. "C'mon Emily, why are you acting weird? We both know I am the father of the child you're carrying, so allow me to take my responsibilities."Her anger and frustration boiled over at his words. "What stupid responsibilities?" she spat. "I have told you we've got no business together and no child together whatsoever. Just leave me alone, Phil." His tone turned slightly aggressive, and Emily could sense the desperation in his voice. "Emily, don't be like this. I know we had a thing, and I know I'm the father of your child. I want to be involved in your lives, and I want to take care of you both."Emi

James didn't want to hear it. He didn't want to accept that his dad might not make it. He held his hand, talking to him, trying to keep him awake. "Dad, stay with me," he said, his voice shaking. "Please, don't leave me. I need you." Dr. Smith held his shoulder, his eyes filled with a deep sense of concern. "I think you should get your wife here, or it's too late," he said, his voice low and urgent. "It's possible he wants to say something important." He quickly brought out his phone, his hands shaking as he scrolled through his contacts. He found Bella's number and dialed it, but she wasn't responding. He tried calling her again, but it went straight to voicemail.He wasn't sure where to go, or what to do. He knew that he had to find his wife, but he had no idea where she was. He thought about going to the hospital where Miranda was; he was certain she must have been discharged by now and he doubted she would be there. He knew that the only place to go to was her previous apartme

Both best friends decided to go drinking to clear their heads, sitting at the bar, drinking and chatting.James was nursing a whiskey on the rocks, while Steve was sipping on a beer. The bartender, a friendly woman with a warm smile, was polishing a glass and listening in on their conversation. James was staring into his drink, his eyes lost in thought. Steve, noticing his friend's distant expression, decided to speak up."Yo man, I think it's high time you reduce your intake of alcohol," he advised, his voice laced with concern. "It's getting too much. You're drinking every night, and it's starting to affect your daily life, you rarely come to work. I think you should give this girl a break not after everything that has happened." He looked up, his eyes narrowing slightly as he gazed at Steve. "Bro, just let me be," he said, his voice low and even. "I'll be fine. I just want to drink to clear my head off, and that's all; without her, I can't think straight; she isn't responding to m

Miranda tried sitting up, confused about what was going on and what James was talking about. "What truth is he talking about, Bella?" she asked, turning to her sister with a look of confusion. She then turned to Mia and asked."What's going on, can somebody please talk to me? Who is this young man and what truth is he talking about?" Mia looked at Bella, who took a deep breath before speaking."I'll explain, Mimi, please just calm down," Bella said in a low tone, trying to soothe her sister's frazzled nerves. "He's my husband, on a contract, but trust me, all of these will soon be over," she added, her voice barely above a whisper. Miranda's eyes widened in shock, and she looked like she had been punched in the gut. "What! You're kidding, aren’t you? Are you trying to tell me you got married without letting your only family hear about it?" she shouted, her voice rising in anger and hurt.She looked down, feeling guilty and ashamed. "I know I should have told you, Mimi, but it was all

James and Bella both rushed down to the police station, their hearts filled with excitement and relief. As they arrived, they were greeted by the sight of Miranda, standing in the middle of the room, looking weak and frail.Bella's eyes widened with joy and concern as she rushed towards her sister, throwing her arms around her in a tight hug. “I'm sorry all of these have to happen to you, Mimi," she said, her voice filled with emotion. "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"Miranda, who was extremely weak, couldn't utter a word, only stood there looking at her sister, her eyes filled with a mix of emotions. Bella held her tight, tears of joy streaming down her face. "I'm so sorry, my little one. I promise I will never let anything happen to you, because you are never leaving my sight," she said, her voice shaking with emotion. "I was so worried about you." James stood back, watching the reunion with a warm heart, feeling happy that Miranda was finally safe.As Bella continued to hug her sist

"C’mon, Bella, you've been like this for weeks; you need to get a hold of yourself," James said, his voice filled with concern as he noticed Bella's mood. "I promise, Miranda will be found and brought back." Bella looked up at him, her eyes red from crying, and her face pale with worry. "How sure are you?" she asked, her voice shaking with fear. "It's been weeks, and we haven't even heard anything from them, and neither are the police saying anything. She's the only family I've got, and you want me to act like nothing has happened to her."He took a deep breath and pulled Bella into a hug. "I’m not saying that, I know it's been tough, but we can't give up hope," he said, his voice soft and reassuring. "The police are doing everything they can to find her, and I'm sure they'll come up with something soon." She pulled back and looked at him, her eyes searching for answers. "But what if they don't?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. "What if we never see her again?"James's

"You need to calm down, babe, I had to rush down here immediately; I got your call," James said, trying to calm Bella down. "Trust me, if the kidnap isn't connected to anybody, we will surely get a call from them requesting a ransom; let's just give them a few hours." Bella, whose eyes were filled with tears, shook her head. "I'm just confused, what's going on?" she asked, her voice trembling. "First, it was me, now my innocent sister... Who knows who might be next?"He pulled Bella into a hug, trying to comfort her. "C’mon, you need to stop thinking about it and hope we get a call soon. We'll get through this, okay," he said. "We'll find out who's behind this and we'll get your sister back safely." Steve, who had been quiet until now, joined the conversation. "Don't worry, I promise we'll get her back," he said, his voice filled with determination. "But I had no idea you've got a sister all these while." Bella sniffled, wiping her tears with her sleeve."She was at the hospital all
