“ If you think I am lying, check your mail. What you see will shock you and then you don't need to ask anyone, you just go ahead and ask your darling Bella and confirm for yourself” she said.“ I don't know what rubbish you are saying…” Avery said, his words hanging with his jaw opened on seeing the images sent to his mail. He couldn't believe his eyes, on what he was seeing.“How did you get these, why does it look like mine? You need to explain how you got there. Bella can't possibly steal these, it may be a replica to get me to believe you” Avery sounded certain of his words trying not to believe what was before his eyes."Oh, don't be dumb Avery. No one is playing you except your petty fraud of a girlfriend. If you think it's a fake, why don't you go look for yours? Confirm if yours is still in place, then if not you can tell yourself the truth and face it. It won't cost you a dime or minute. Prove me and your mind wrong for once and for all”.Avery looked at the picture, and he c
Mikel's POV“ Are you saying, she hasn't called you nor texted since you last spoke with her?" Jen enquired.“ Yes, I haven't heard a word from her. I feel like she thinks I am playing and won't go through with it. She is daring with my patience. Or do you think something must have happened to her? Mikel said looking puzzled.Jen seats beside him with no word, silence rained at that moment.“ I don't know, but I know Bella and I know that she is the type to feel intimidated as she as always been bullied. She knows I know her secret and could expose her, so why is delaying trying to get back to me? She didn't even plead or reach out. I am lost. Is she not scared of what the truth might do or does she have a cover-up?” Mikel felt frustrated at the turn of events.“ Why don't you call her up? She must have forgotten or tried to get the complete amount. You don't know and you won't, if you don't pick up your phone and find out. I had thought you'd figure this out and make sure it goes as
“You are still lying bluntly to my face” Avery looked astonished.“Avery, what has gotten into you?" Bella questioned." I know you ain't my girlfriend, you are an imposter who has been living under my roof and feeding me with lies. You made me fall for you, just so you could use me and succeed with your plans. Who sent you, tell me who sent you. Who are you working with and what do you want?”Avery asked looking menacingly at Bella.“Stop it, your words hurt. I'd never mean to hurt and I would certainly not start now. You need to be calm, let's talk things out”Bella said.“What did you do with my jewelry, where are they? If you claim you are real, where is my jewelry? You stole them after opening my heart to you and being good to you”Hearing the information from Avery, Bella knew the game was up but didn't expect it so soon, speaking to herself, “How did he find out so soon? I knew it was a setup but what would I tell Luke right now.. Bella said, whimpering silently.“How, how did y
" Hm, what would you want to ask a fraudster? But if you can get any word from her, it will help the police in doing their work” Avery said.Bella raised her head to meet Avery's eyes and he immediately looked away, Bella knew that this man isn't Avery anymore. He looks at her with disdain and loathes. She can't recognize the man she hated at first and later fell in love with. The bond, dates, laughter,r, and teasing all felt good at the moment as whatever they shared was at a closed end hanging on a faint stick with no support.Luke nodded at Avery and walked up to Bella. He had come to acknowledge Bella as a close friend and knew he had put her to this. “Get up" he helped her up and supported her steps, he led her into the office leaving Avery behind while pretending to be engrossed in his device.As soon as the door to the office was locked by Luke, Bella turned to give him a tight hug and cried openly.“Bella, you need to calm down. I know how you feel right now. Please stop cryin
“What do you suggest we do? I don't know where to start from?" Bella responded, still shocked at the twist of events“I'm really sorry about this, and just so you I will be with you. I put you to this and I won't let anything happen to you. Someone who wants you out did this, I strongly believe that the same person who had someone follow you is the person who gave you out” Luke stood firmly." Do you think it could be Victoria or Ava, I mean we know it's not Mikel and I don't think I have grudges with anyone as it has always been just me and dad” Bella replied.Thinking of her poor father who is still recovering, Bella knows that he would be highly disappointed when he knows of the situation. She murmured silently “ what will happen to my Dad, he is alone and has non one to take care of him. He will be greatly disappointed in me, I can't even confront him in this state.“ Nothing will happen your dad, I think to ease this problem, I will have to tell Avery of my involvement in this w
“No, I'm fine, you don't know what you are saying. She needs to be punished rightfully.“ Avery, what is wrong with you?” Luke uttered.“Luke you need to go, I need to meet up with my psychiatrist in Texas. I really do need it at this moment with all this twist going on right now. My head feels heavy" Avery said.“Avery, you need to rest and think all this through. I Will be here and you don't need to worry about the office. I have it under control” Luke said.“Let me get my things, I appreciate all you do, I will be back Tomorrow. Avery nodded at Luke and made his way upstairs to get his bag fully packed the night before for his journey.Luke waited patiently, apprehending the whole scenario that just occurred. “ I can't believe this just happened, Avery will soon recover his memories and things will become complicated. Oh, God help your children out".Avery walked down with a small suitcase and turned to give the house a quick glance and turned to Luke, “please lock up and look afte
Jen's POV“She hasn't called you till now, are you sure she is going to pay up?" Jen asked.“ You don't need to worry over petty things like this, she has no choice but to pay up. I mean she knows very well we know her secret, she would go miles to keep silence" Mikel replied determinedly."Call her up and know what's going on with her,” Jen said.Mikel, reasoning Jen's words,picked up his phone " Okay, let me do just that”.****At the station, Bella was whacked out from the vehicle and taken into the station.“What is the case of this young lady you just brought in?" a young lady who was seated at the counter required upon the arrival of Bella.“She is charged with theft and is she going to spend the night in the cell till her case is accessed", the corporal who brought Bella replied.The corporal took Bella into a cell who had just one inmate and locked up. Bella, who hasn't said a word since she was arrested, sat quietly on the bare ground which stinked badly and ignored the silen
***Luke drove down to see Bella at the station after burying himself in a lot of office work. He drove speedily knowing visiting hour is over by this time . He needed to see Bella before visiting her dad. He didn't know what to say to the poor and knows how lonely Bella feels right now.Arriving at the station, he got down from the car and walked into the building .“Good evening Sir, please can I speak to your head of the officer" Luke enquired..“Sir it's late, why don't you come back tomorrow" the police man replied politely." No, tell him it's Mr. Luke , he will know who I am” Luke said out." Okay, you wait here and I will be back” the police man replied.“ Good evening Mr Luke, how may I be of help to you" the inspector replied on arriving to see Luke.“ Yes please, good evening sir. I am sorry to disturb at this hour, please I need a favor from you," Luke stated with ease.“ Okay please what's that, I could be of help if it's within my means. You know how I can't refuse you a
