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

"Emily! Emily,” her mum called her, as she entered her apartment. She came out of her room with a surprised face, wondering what her mum was doing at her place."Mum, what a surprise, to what do I owe this visit?" she asked, trying to sound casual despite the surprise."Are you trying to say I don't have access to my house?" her mum replied, a hint of annoyance in her voice. "I didn't come here for all of that and don't play dumb with me. What I want to know is, what is it that I'm hearing?"She acted confused, but she knew exactly what her mum was talking about. "What are you talking about, Mum?" she asked, trying to play dumb.Her mum cut her off, her voice firm. "Don't play dumb with me, Emily. Why is Mr. Reed congratulating me on a pregnancy that I know nothing about? What's going on?"Emily shrugged, trying to downplay the situation. "Oh, that! C'mon, Mum, don't be ridiculous."Her mum's expression turned stern. "I'm not being ridiculous, Emily. I'm concerned. You're my daughter

"C’mon girl, I've been talking to you from the kitchen, are you lost in thoughts, and what's with the fake smile?" Mia said, trying to cheer her friend up. "I can tell one when I see one."Bella forced a laugh, trying to brush off Mia's concern. "Nothing really, just having a sad and happy moment."Her eyes narrowed, her expression skeptical. "You know you can't lie to me? I need the full story of how it went last night," she said, her voice firm.Trying to act like she didn't know what Mia was talking about. "What story are you talking about?" she asked, trying to sound nonchalant. "You better stop being a poke nose and go bag your own man."Mia's face fell, and she looked hurt. "Now I see my own best friend is against me," she said, her voice tinged with sadness. "That's so nice of you to say it."Bella immediately felt guilty for snapping at Mia. She knew her friend was only trying to help. "Mia, I'm sorry," she said, her voice softening. "I didn't mean to snap at you. It's just be

"I'm sorry, sir," James's secretary explained, looking frazzled. "I tried stopping her, trying to explain to her, you were in the middle of a meeting, but she forced her way in."“It's okay, you can go,” he said.“Mum? Uhm..what are you doing here? She noticed her mum standing, facing her.James couldn't say a word, he just stood there in shock and disappointment. Mrs. Valerie, on the other hand, was not having it. “I should be the one asking what you're doing here," she said, her voice firm. "And can someone please explain to me what is going on here?"“And why aren't you saying anything?” She turned to James and asked. Emily quickly interrupted, “C’mon, mum, don't be ridiculous. You always knew that is what I love to call him, and you know I always had a thing for him since we were five. “Well, news flash, you both are no longer five; you both are adults and should start acting like one, I hope you know he's married now,” she explained.Emily hugged her mum, “You need to calm dow

"Hey, you're back," Bella said, welcoming James with a warm smile as he walked through the door. "How was work?" she asked, her eyes sparkling with curiosity."Not very good," James replied, trying to adjust his tie as he gave her a brief kiss on the cheek. "I got you something," he said, his eyes lighting up with excitement, "why don't you close your eyes while I unveil it."Bella's eyes sparkled with anticipation as she closed her eyes, her hands clasped together in front of her. James brought out a little box, his fingers fumbling with the lid as he tried to open it, and then he brought out a beautiful necklace, the chain glinting in the light.As he fixed the necklace around her neck, Bella couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and joy. She opened her eyes, and her gaze fell on the necklace, her eyes widening in admiration.“Oh my God, it's so beautiful, I love, love, love it" she exclaimed, her fingers reaching up to touch the pendant."I'm glad you like it," James said, s

"Good morning, babe," James said, as he walked into the bedroom, already dressed in his suit and tie. "Why are you dressed so early?" She asked as she was just waking up, rubbing sleep off her eyes. She looked at him with a mixture of confusion and curiosity, trying to understand why he was up and ready so early."I have lots of clients to attend to and a couple of meetings to attend," James replied, as he walked over to the bed and sat down beside her. "I made you something special to eat," he added, holding out a tray with a delicious-looking breakfast. Her eyes widened in surprise and appreciation, smiling at him."Thanks," she said, as she took the tray from him and began to eat. James leaned over and kissed her on the forehead."Do you have any plans for today?" Bella thought for a while before answering, and James could see the wheels turning in her mind as she tried to decide what to say."I have an interview today," she said finally, looking up at him with a mixture of excite

"What is going on?" He turned to Mia and asked, "What are you doing here?" His voice was firm and commanding, but Mia could see the hint of uncertainty in his eyes. She smiled to herself, knowing that she had caught him off guard."Can we talk? I came because of you," Mia said, her voice calm and collected. "I'm here to talk to you about Bella." He made a signal for his team to excuse them, his expression changed, and he looked at Mia with a mixture of anger and defensiveness. "What about Bella?" he asked, his voice rising.Mia took a step closer to James, her eyes locked on his. "I know what you've been doing to her, James," she said, her voice firm. "I know how you've been treating her, and I'm not going to stand for it." James's face reddened with anger, and he took a step back, his eyes flashing with fury."What are you talking about, Miss?" he asked, his voice low and menacing. "I don't know what you're insinuating, but I can tell you that it's not true." Mia laughed a cold and

James stood, looking all confused, and didn't know what to do. Mia noticed and asked, "Who was that?" “I don't know, someone just called, saying he has Bella. I think she has been kidnapped,” he explained.“Oh my Goodness! How, where, when? This can't be happening; we had a conversation this morning requesting the location and time for her interview, which I sent to her before coming here," she said, her voice shaking with fear.Just then, Steve came in, “What's going on here? And what's up with the tense look?” as he looked at both of them seeking answers. “We received a call from an unknown number, saying that Isabella has been kidnapped,” she managed to tell him.“What! How did it happen? I thought the house was fully secured, so how come she has been kidnapped?” he asked, looking worried and confused.“You know, if you hadn't been so adamant about her working, all of this wouldn't have happened, always giving her every reason to be independent while I'm here trying to protect he

Bella got home and stayed, pacing around the house, “This is really surprising. I can't even remember having a brother, let alone a lost one at that. How about his parents, how did we even get separated? Who did he grow up with that he became so rich? I need to ask him these questions." She couldn't shake off the feeling of confusion and curiosity that had been building up inside her since Steve's revelation. She had so many questions, and she didn't know where to start. As she paced around the house, she thought about all the possible scenarios, all the possible explanations for how she and Steve could be siblings.As she walked back and forth, she suddenly thought of telling Mia, her best friend, about the whole thing. Mia had been her confidante since childhood, and Bella knew that she could trust her with anything. She immediately picked up her phone and dialed Mia's number, her hands shaking slightly with excitement and nervousness. As the phone rang, Bella couldn't help but thi

"What's going on here? What do you mean?" Bella asked, her voice filled with confusion and concern. "Who and why are you referring to us as your sisters?" She looked at Steve, her eyes searching for answers."What is he talking about?" Bella turned to her husband asking him, as he stood there looking confused.Steve took a deep breath, his eyes scanning the room before focusing on Bella. All eyes were on him, waiting for a response.But before he could answer, he turned to Alex “Can you leave now? Or else I'm going to lock you up in a cell and you'll never be seen again," he said, his voice firm and commanding. Alex's face turned red with anger, but he seemed to think better of it and decided to back out. He looked at Bella and blew her a kiss, his eyes gleaming with a mixture of anger and desire. "I'll come back for you," he promised, his voice low and menacing. "You can count on it."As Alex walked away, the room seemed to breathe a collective sigh of relief. Steve's eyes never lef

James meeting Miranda for the first time was a moment he had been looking forward to for a while, after the whole thing that had happened these past few days. As he walked into the sitting room, he was greeted by a woman with a bright smile and sparkling eyes. "Hey Miranda, how are you doing?" he asked, extending his hand in greeting. Miranda took his hand, her handshake firm and confident. "I'm very well, thank you," she replied, her voice warm and friendly."You've really got a beautiful place," she continued, looking around the room with admiration. "Omg, I love the arts," she exclaimed, her eyes landing on a painting on the wall. Bella and James laughed out loud at her enthusiasm. "I'm glad you like it," Bella said, smiling. "James has a great eye for art." James smiled, feeling a sense of pride at his wife's compliment.She walked over to the painting, her eyes studying it intently.

“Good evening, everyone; I want to start by thanking everyone for coming to sympathize with me over the death of my father," he said, his eyes scanning the room. "It means a lot to me and my family, and we appreciate your support during this difficult time." The crowd murmured in agreement, their faces filled with sympathy and understanding.James took a deep breath, his expression turning serious. "I also want to personally apologize for what happened earlier," James said, his voice filled with sincerity. "It wasn't part of all of these and all she said was nothing but allegations. I had never had anything to do with her, because I am legally married to my wife here, Isabella." Everyone turned to look at Isabella, who was smiling and nodding in agreement. She was a beautiful woman, with long, curly brown hair and bright green eyes. She was dressed in an elegant black dress, and she looked like she had just stepped out of a fashion magazine.James continued to speak, his voice filled

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
