HENRY “So do you think that she's just some gold digger who's after his money?” Mom asked and even I was starting to think that it wasn't a bad conclusion.We all knew that he and Ava had something going on until his accident and then Bella came into the picture. We aren't sure if she's just some imposter especially since he identifies her as his girlfriend.“I feel like that girl is up to something. There's no way she'd just come into his life and I know for sure that she's a filthy gold digger,” she commented.My mind wasn't even on that as the only thing that bothered me was how to get past all that was going on in the office. I knew I had Avery by my side and the support of others but Luke was still a problem.“I'm fucked up right now because I feel like Luke isn't going to give up and he's going to continue to pose a threat to me,” I complained to her.She patted me on the back gently. “Then how about we just end his life once and hit all, we don't want anyone to obstruct your
BELLAI regretted the fact that I asked Avery to invite them because not only did they make it awkward but also added lots of tension to it. Ava wouldn't stop giving me dead glares and Luke and Henry looked like they'd kill each other the best second.The maid started clearing up the table and I stood up to help them using it as an excuse to get out of that environment before they all drove me crazy. I decided to stay in the kitchen till I could catch my breath at least.I sent the maids out and proceeded to do the work myself as an excuse to buy more time and maybe they'd leave before I came out.“There you are,” Luke's voice startled me, almost making me drop a plate but he was quick to help me catch it and I playfully hit his arm.“Ouch,” he winced in pain, acting like it did hurt. When he saw that I wasn't going to care, he raised his hand in surrender.He stayed quiet for a bit just watching me go around the kitchen. “Why don't you tell the maids to do it rather than you? You sho
AVERYAva's words shook me but I didn't want Bella to get publicly humiliated so I just asked her to leave instead. She spared me one last glance, angrily grabbed her bag, and walked out to leave.Luke and Bella came running to me but I just shunned them especially since I needed some time alone. I needed some time to myself and to think things straight.“I can explain, she's just lying to you,” Bella tried explaining but I wasn't in the mood to listen to what she had to say.“I need some time alone to myself,” I told her. She was about to say something but Luke was quick to stop her, grabbing her by the shoulders.I felt a pinch of jealousy but immediately shrugged it off as nothing. “We should let him think, he'd come back around later on," he told her.She felt hesitant at first but slowly nodded in response and made way for me to leave. I turned away from them and immediately made my way to the poolside. It was the best place for me to think after all.Everything Ava and Luke said
BELLAHe locked his lips with mine and I felt butterflies taking their place in my stomach making my breath hitch and I felt like I was on cloud nine. His hands went behind my waist pulling me in deeper and I had to admit that it was the first time that he's ever kissed me so passionately.He didn't stop, taking my loss loose into his mouth making me moan a little. He was such a good kisser k was just trying to match up with his pace.His hands snuck behind my back trying to untie my bikini but I was quick to stop him before things could go farther. He looked up at me with a perplexed look and I was completely flushed and feeling embarrassed.“What happened? Do you not want it?” He asked, showing so much concern. The sound of his voice made my stomach churn and I was starting to feel really bad, knowing he doesn't deserve this.I didn't plan for it to go this way but now it was becoming something that I can't even stop anymore. He tried kissing me again but I took a few steps backward
AVERY“Why are you always doing this? You're acting so entitled that I'm fed up with your character,” I lamented.She didn't show any remorse, rather she just scoffed loudly, ignoring all of my complaints and this was one issue that I had with her.She never gave any attention or listening ear to whatever I was saying and it was starting to get on my nerves making me think that she never regards anything that I say.“You know what? I'm fed up with you too. I don't want to have to deal with this crap and your standards are not good enough for me.”She was saying that to me after everything that I had done for her career. I scoffed loudly, accepting the outcome of the argument and knowing where it was going to land.“You want to break up with me? Is that what you're trying to say?” I demanded to know but she just looked away, acting like I wasn't even there.Anger submerged through me and I felt raged by her attitude. “Are you going to answer me or do you want to know the outcome of tes
LUKEI arrived early at the office mostly because I needed to get some work done. It wasn't like me to arrive before eight am but I wanted to get it over with so that I could leave early.I was about to enter my office when I saw a reflection of someone that looked like Henry and I wasn't surprised that it turned out to be Henry.He's probably trying to impress Avery and the rest by arriving early to work. I just shook my head and wanted to walk past my office until I heard something that sounded very suspicious.“Yes, I've tried looking for it but it's nowhere to be seen,” he complained.I immediately looked for where to hide so that he wouldn't notice that I had arrived or someone was nearby. What could he possibly be looking for? Maybe a file that he lost.What the fuck am I even doing? I'm creating excuses for him?I cringed at the idea but also couldn't deny that it could be true. I wanted to shrug off the idea and go back to my office rather than eavesdropping on him. I have a b
As Luke walked to his office, his mind ran in different directions as to what could lead to the sudden question from Avery.What could have made Avery ask such a question? He must have been recalling his memories and this moment is ticking to set off soon. “I must inform Bella about this, so she gets prepared for the worst” he mutters lightly.Not seeing Henry who came out of his office to grab a coffee, he strolled briskly to his office and sat down. The cold sensation from the giant AC couldn't cool down the heat of thoughts burning through him at that moment.He took his phone and placed a call to Bella. She didn't pick up after two rings and he resolved she must be busy and will call back.He drifts away looking dazed at the screen of his TV when he jerks back as his phone ringing tone rings aloud. Looking at the phone, he sees Bella as the caller.“Hello, Henry, good day, sorry I was not close to my phone when you called but I called back as soon as I saw the missed calls. Did an
The whole scene bubbled in the mind of Bella, as she felt all these never happened. She knew she couldn't hop out this time, and prayed for this to come to an end. She pondered on her life. As she never imagined this could be her, taking herself down to memory, before meeting Avey.She saw herself as a bait to Avey and wished this never happened. Knowing the game of Luke, she felt battered and empty. “Will I be the bait for his downfall”, she murmured to herself, as she kept her gaze at the mirror on the mirror. In the dilemma of two, as she wanted wealth, at least to have wealth but never wanted to be a partaker.Jessica, a friend of Bella, who couldn't condone the silence, as she walked into her room, unnoticed to Bella. “Hey girl, what bugs your mind”. This time, Bella knows she has spent longer than expected, she gives in to lying as a resort, “hey Jessie, I never knew when you came in”, not rising from her bed. “I do know and this makes me wonder what you could make you be in th
