Bella…I slipped into my favorite red porch as I looked at the sun setting. Valentina took a seat beside me and strapped herself in. I had some unfinished business to take care of before we leave for America tonight. I turned on the ignition and felt the purr of the engine. I pushed my foot down and
Ace…I was angry when my father arranged a marriage for me. I shouldn't have been surprised since my parent's marriage was also arranged. I never wanted to have a marriage like my parents. They didn't love each other. They always fought. I don't want an arranged marriage. I don't want a loveless mar
Ace…I walked out of the gym to meet my parents. I swear I am going to kill my brother for letting them in. I don't have fucking time to talk about marriage. I know this is the reason they are here.I walked into the living room and saw my parents. Mother wore a white dress as she sat on the couch,
Bella…Today was the day I finally got to meet the man I was supposed to marry. I scrolled through my phone and came across pictures of a scandal about a billionaire who was seen with a stripper leaving the club; apparently, it said that he is engaged to be married. The poor fiance, I wonder how she
Bella…They must have thought I had lost the ability to talk, but I didn't care. They would soon learn who I really am if their eldest son made me angry. The maids served us our dinner; still, there was no sign of the so-called fiancé. He must be hiding, too afraid to show his face here. I wonder wh
Bella…Ace! What is he doing here? And most importantly, did he just call me his fiancée?He looks as handsome as he did two years ago. Get a grip, Bella! Fuck, you can't think like that.“Ace King, I am terribly sorry for missing dinner with you, love,” I stiffened as he introduced himself.Doesn'
Ace…Bella and her uncle left the house a while ago, and I was still in a daze. Something about that woman seems familiar. She was no ordinary woman. There was something about Bella; she had power. I felt it when she talked, and I felt her strength when she had my balls in her hands. God, I never fe
Bella...The wedding day was almost here. I had my nails done for the wedding and found the perfect dress. I know this was just going to be a marriage out of convenience but still, I was excited. I don't know why but it felt right.Tonight was my last night as a free woman; instead of going to a clu
On our way home, we stopped at a shop brimming with vibrant candies, chocolate bars, and treats in various shapes and sizes. Chloe's eyes widened in delight; candy was undoubtedly her weakness. She peered through the glass, contemplating her choices. Bruce stood beside me, arms crossed, both of us o
Ace…My feet were resting on the desk shared by Bella and me, our office now organized and neat, though I knew it wouldn’t last long. I had spent the early hours sorting through paperwork and issuing directives. As I brought a cigarette to my lips, I inhaled the acrid smoke, watching it swirl and gr
I appreciated Chloe's charming nature; she had stunning dark brown hair and a mature demeanor, yet she could be quite mischievous. It became clear that she had inherited my personality traits. Whenever she threw a fit, it was incredibly amusing. Ace, however, did not share my amusement; he seemed to
Richard shook his head disapprovingly at Ryder, clearly unhappy with how easily he succumbed to Chloe's antics. As for me, I didn’t mind at all. Ryder was her uncle, and he could spoil her if he wished. The food arrived, and I took a sip of my wine. Laughter filled the air as everyone enjoyed themse
Bella…I urged the maids to hurry up with the dining room as we were busy setting it up. Only the finest cutlery and crystal glasses were to be utilized. The table was to be adorned with white tablecloths and red placemats. I moved gracefully around the room in a black dress that accentuated my figu
“You have created a family, my love.” I returned her smile, gently rubbing her shoulder as I looked down at the way she cradled her so effortlessly. She traced a finger through her dark hair. "She’s going to look like you," she said with a soft chuckle. "What have you decided?" I asked, feeling a se
The atmosphere was intense. "It's okay, Bella. I'm right here with you." I gave a reassuring smile while holding her hand. The fear coursed through me. Her contractions came in waves, accompanied by a mix of screams and whimpers. I could see the exhaustion etched on her face, but I believed in her s
She sat down on the lounger, gazing straight ahead, the sun's glare making it difficult to look up. I approached her and settled down beside her on the spacious lounger, using my arm to support her head, creating a makeshift pillow. "Ashton called me a whale the other day," she scoffed. "What a jerk
Ace… I secured my firearm back onto my belt after taking a man's life. He had it coming; he was undermining me and it was intolerable. "Clean it up," I commanded with a snap of my fingers. My team sprang into action, quickly removed the blood, the body, and any trace of what had happened here. As
