Bella…"Bella, are you okay in there?" Bonnie asked through the door. SHit, did she hear me on the phone? I have to think of something. “I am alright. I just have a bit of pain. I think I should drink some painkillers and lay down for a bit.” I lied, well, not exactly. I did have pain but I wasnt go
Guards came running in and looked at the scene in front of them with wide eyes. Bonnie, Gretqa, or whoever the fuck she was, was out cold. “Take her to the basement. Tie her to a chair. Make sure she can't escape.” I ordered. I was going to kill this bitch. Clarence and Tommaso came running in. “Fuc
I looked at Clarence and nodded towards her, “Cut off her ring finger.” I ordered. I won't do much damage. I want her to tell me the fucking truth. I need a plan to lure Walton here and the only way I would do that was by getting her to talk. Clarence walked to her side took the knife and cut off he
Bella…“Where is Ace?!" I asked when I went back upstairs. Ryder has left to god knows where and he wasn't answering his phone. I was fucking worried about him. “He isn't home yet.” Clarence replied. I grab my phone and immediately call Ace. He picked up after a few rings, “Ace, where are you?” I as
“You know I can do the other hand as well. I have all day long.” He proceeded to the next hand and when he was done with the second fingernail, she finally gave in, “Alright, stop. Please stop. I will tell you.” She begged. She was sobbing by now and I don’t blame her. That must hurt like a bitch bu
Bella…I stood behind Ryder as he talked to the bitch. “Why did you betray me like this? I loved you with all of my heart. I would have given you the world but you decided to play with me in order to get to Bella and Ace.” I could hear the pain in his voice. I looked over at Greta, who had a stupid
We had our plan set in motion. All our men were hiding away, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Ace had me bound on a bed and he sat on a chair being bound. We had Bonnie in another room, gagged and strapped to a bed.We were patiently waiting when the door opened, revealing Walton. His eyes
Bella…I called out, "Ace!" from the bottom of the stairs, feeling a mix of frustration and impatience. Where could he be? I placed my hands on my hips, waiting for a response. After a moment, my patience wore thin, and I decided to head upstairs. Nearly five months had gone by, and honestly, naviga
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
