The CEO and his paid mistress. Chapter 71
Bella began her procession as the soft melody of a love song filled the air, her beauty casting a spell on everyone present.Arthur looked at her awestruck and mesmerized, maybe she was the most beautiful woman he had seen all his life after all.The awed guests stood up on their feet to acknowledge her presence, tossing flowers her way to walk on.Bella had a royal feeling. If only the engagement ceremony wasn't a facade, she would have sworn right there that this was way more than what she had thought her engagement would be.She took her time basking in the moment never wanting this moment to fade but sooner she was standing right in front of Arthur who was ravishing handsome as well. She noticed his teary eyes."Don't tell me my beauty moved you to tears?" Bella teased him in a whisper, giving him a smile."You're so beautiful." Arthur said, his voice coarse. "And you're astonishing handsome." Arthur took her by the hand moving her closer to himself, the audience cheered them by

After leaving the hospital, Bella hurried to her old flat and opened the door. Because she was racing around so frantically, she could feel her feet hurting. Even when the cops got involved, she remained extremely agitated."Where on earth could he be?" Bella inquired, her expression so troubled; she had sobbed all day and was at her breaking point.Patricia stroked her smooth hair and pulled her into an embrace. "Now that the police is involved, let trust them to do their job." "I just hope nothing bad happens to him because if he gets hurts, I won't forgive myself." Bella clenched her hands together and uttered a few prayers in a whisper."He is going to be fine, he's an adult." Patricia chimes in slyly rolling her eyes in disgust."An adult that is indisposed." Bella made the correction. "What can he do by himself?""It's been a long day, I think you should get some rest instead of getting worked up again."Bella shook her head vigorously, "How can I take a rest when we can't find

Arthur remained in the same position in the hall despite Lawrence pleas to return to his room, he refused.Lawrence had taken his leave only after Arthur had promised him he would be fine.The almost empty hall has only two people in it; Arthur and Matilda. She walked up to him and sat beside him, "it was hard telling her the truth, right?""At first, it was but the moment I began, it became easier." Arthur admitted, looking absent minded."You look like your mind is wandering here and there, what are you thinking about?""How I got to this point. You left, mama did left as well and now Bella." Arthur chuckled, "it makes me feel every woman close to my heart is meant to leave.""But I made it back.""And I couldn't recognize you." There was a tint of sadness in Arthur's voice."You don't have to blame yourself for that when I'm the one who altered my facial look.""How was it growing up? I can tell it was rough but tell me about it."Matilda looked deep into Arthur's eyes, "I think I

James got out of bed, feeling weak and unhappy. Though his medical needs were being attended to, all of the faces around him were unfamiliar and unfriendly.He suddenly wished he had never leave the hospital where he was, right here his movement was restricted and everything he did was equally questioned and scrutinized. He found it exhausting.He took a peep out of the window for the very first time since he stepped into the room allocated to him and found his room was on the top of a building. He took a closer peep and couldn't make anything out of what he had seen. The whole place was so unfamiliar, he walked to the door and turned its knob only to come face to face with two stern looking guys."You should get back in." The bodyguard on the left said, his words sounded more like a warning."My body is sore, I would love to a take a stroll." James said, forcing out a smile."You can't do that unless the boss permits." The other bodyguard replied."What's going on here?" Fargo walke

Arthur watched Amelia leave before coming out of his hiding place. Every nerve on his body was surging with rage. "Patricia!" He yelled. "How dare you mess up with me?"He couldn't believe his ears, Patricia had been working hand in hand with Amelia and Fargo to bring him down for whatever reason was best known to her.Now that he had know the mastermind behind the troubles he had had to go lately, his mind quickly flashed back to the list of the five names he couldn't confirm their identity."A.C," he muttered to himself repeatedly. "Amelia Coleman," he said slowly. "It all makes sense now that Patricia and Amelia are acquaintance, Fargo must have tagged along." He said to himself as the puzzle became easier. "The phone."He rushed towards the wardrobe and slide his hand in, taking out the burner phone. Without wasting time, he copied all the content of the phone to his and tapped the phone."You're done for, Amelia." He grunted. "I'm going to make each and everyone of you pay for ev

After a lengthy conversation, Matteo decided to take his leave and this time. It met with no resistance from Fargo."I'll see you again, Fargo.""I look forward to that." Fargo replied as he watched Matteo took his leave."Are you just going to let him go like that boss?" Hugo, one of Fargo's henchman asked."We need money to speed up the advanced version of smile, letting him win is too small of a sacrifice. We can always recovered our money as long as I entice him enough." Fargo said, "don't tell me you've forgotten my anthem?""Fargo never loses a dime." Hugo replied."Sounds more like it, so relax." Fargo chuckled."I hate the look on his face." Hugo confessed."What about his look pisses you off?" Fargo asked."He looks too confident for his own good, I can tell he has something up his sleeves. Should I have him followed?"Fargo waved his hand in dismissal. "Let's leave him for now, I have a good use for him. It's not everyday we get to see a people who stakes as high as he did to

Hugo walked towards the direction of the sound he had heard.Matteo looked around and concluded there was no place for him to hide. Any step from where he was would make him visible to Hugo.He didn't know much about the port and that would put him at a disadvantage running here and there.Hugo was already in a bad mood and getting caught would be bad for him especially when he knew nothing about the burnt goods but that doesn't matter as he would make the finest scapegoat.He knew he couldn't match Hugo in terms of strength but luckily, Hugo was all by himself. Though his chauffeur was a bit far away from him, he was certain he could outrun Hugo.That was only one way out for him, he would have to put his sprinting talent into use.He held his phone tightly ready for the chase, putting his plan in action, he was going to lure Hugo, he took a quick glance of the terrain of the port and raced like his whole life depended on it."Stop right there!" Hugo shouted as he saw the figure runni

At Matilda's offer, Arthur realized a drink was what he needed that moment. He had been nervous and panicked all the way down to her."What are you thinking of?"Arthur stepped out of the elevator. "You're right, I think I should have a drink."The Lorenzo's siblings walked into Matilda's office. Matilda poured him a glass of alcoholic wine and gave it to him. "Here.""Thank you."Matilda's observant eyes didn't miss the signs of his distress. "You're still very much in a very bad shape.""Getting sleep seems to be a luxury." Arthur admitted, sadness evident in his voice.Matilda proved further. "Have you spoken to her since then?""I have no words." Arthur replied."Still, you should check on her well being and lessen the burden in your heart." Matilda said."For her well being, I have that figured out. I assigned one of my men to look out for her and as for the burden in my heart, I can take care of myself.""You really do not know how women think, do you?" Matilda shook her head at

Arthur's gathered evidences were very instrumental in their arrest.Soon, Patricia and Amelia were arraigned for trial. Bella had pleaded for a chance to talk to Patricia at the final trial. "Why do you have to hurt us so much? I treated like you a sister and James adorned you.""Tell me why I should be nice to you filthy pieces of trash?" Patricia asked showing no remorse. "You stole Arthur from me, I regretted not poisoning you to death when I had the chance."Bella bursted into another round of fresh tears, "you're hopeless.""Take her away."Arthur pulled Bella to himself. "Everything would be fine, I'm certain justice would prevail, let's go in and hear the final verdict." He

Fargo took off the glasses and smashed it to pieces disconnecting the live video. "What do you think you're doing?" He asked as he rained slaps on Arthur's face.Arthur groaned loudly in pain. "I'm unveiling who you truly are to the world.""I'll kill you." Fargo said angrily as he sent Arthur crashing on the ground with another blow.Arthur spat blood. "You shouldn't have touched my family."Fargo took out a pocket knife, "I'll let you experience pain and beg me to kill you.""The moment you kill me, your entire life will be over. No matter where you go, you'll always have to be on the run.""I've killed once, you think I'll be afraid to do again?" Fargo asked."The choice is yours; turn yourself to the police and face the law or be on the run all your life like a rat.""We would see about that, I'm going to take my time with you." Fargo replied. He grabbed a small bottle and a syringe and injected it Arthur s body causing him to feel numb and weak. "Remember, nobody is coming to save

Arthur laid Patricia on the sofa, he quickly arranged for some bodyguards to take over and secure the place while he proceeded with his next step of action.He called a number on his phone. "Hello, Carla?""Yes, who is..." Carla immediately recognized the voice. "Arthur Lorenzo?""Yes it's me.""To whom do I owe this pleasure?" Carla asked in surprise."I thought you would be interested in being a real reporter this time.""Hmmmmm, I don't think I'm ready, I resigned from my job to take a break.""I know you resigned and that is the more reason you're the perfect fit for this job. Enough break, Carla. It's time to get back to work.""What are you talking about? I already said I'm not going to be anyone prawn.""You tell me, how does being n independent famous reporter sound?""What do you have for me?" Carla asked, taking interest."We are going live, Carla."

"oh my god," Bella gasped as she saw james lying motionlessly on the bed. "What happened to you?" She held his hand and kissed his forehead.Arthur stood right beside her, watching the one grid reunion. "There is something you need to know." He began. Rubbing off the tears from her face, "what is it?""I need you to be brave, Bel." Arthur grabbed her shoulder. "Can you spill it out already?"Arthur took a deep breathe before spilling the beans, "The doctors said James doesn't have much time with us."Bella tried to speak while processing the words that had fallen out of Arthur's mouth but found herself staggering, all thanks to Arthur's firm grip on her, she would have fallen to the ground."He was doing well before he left, what happened?""Unfortunately his health relapsed, we have to prepare ourselves for the worst." Arthur replied."That bitch, what has she done to my brother?" Bella cussed and yelled.Arthur drew her closer, "I'll take care of everything."Bella scoffed. "How w

Bella was lost in thoughts about what to do with the pregnancy when she heard a soft but persistent knock on the door.She wasn't expecting anyone, besides it was already late but at the thought of James, she quickly ran and opened the door without asking who it was.Her reaction was emotionless but she could swear her heart had beaten a thousand times in a spilt second while looking at the figure in front of her.The two stared at each other intensely without any spoken words and increased breathing, she had believed he would never appear in front of her again and to think he was actually in her house for the very first time made it difficult for her to know what to do.A quick glance at his handsome face revealed how pale he looked and her heart broke. "What are you doing here?" She asked, afraid he wouldn't say a thing and remained at the door."We found him." Arthur said in almost a whisper."You found James?" Her eyes lit up with surprise and excitement.Arthur found himself unab

"Tie them up.""Why did you stop us from chasing after them, boss." Hugo asked."Use your brain, James is going to die soon. I've been thinking of ways to dispose him without having to stain my hands, who knew luck would shine on me?"Hugo nodded his head, "but what are we going to do about them?""We are going to use them to negotiate with Arthur. We should get some money off them to compensate for all of our troubles.""Do you think he is going to give in?""Of course, he won't leave them behind." Fargo replied."Are you giving on the lady?""Of course, of what use is she when she is penniless?" Fargo replied. "There are plenty of beauties scattered round the world."***Arthur drove on a very high speed as he headed to the location sent to his phone by Matteo."Damn you Fargo, damn you Patricia." He cussed out. "I'll rip you both into pieces, I promise."Looking at the map on his phone, he could tell he was very close to his destination. He looked up and saw a house in sight. It wa

Edward drove behind Fargo and his cohorts maintaining a reasonable distance not to arouse any form of suspicion. He followed carefully determined not to let them out of his sight.Taking a glance at his dead phone, he quickly plugged his phone. "Why would you go off at such a crucial time?" Worry and anger etched on his face.Edward followed then until he watched them drove into a large compound with a gigantic gate. There was no way to see a thing going on in the building, he needed to find a way to sneak in.He parked his car and got out, not forgetting to mask his face. He took a stroll while taking a stroll round the environment of the building.Luckily he found a lower fence and jumped over it, making his way into the house. He needed to find out where they were taking James to.While trying to navigate his way into the main building, Edward saw Matteo drove in with Tyler as his chauffeur.His eyes flinched, "am I seeing wrong? What is Matteo and Tyler doing here?" He asked puzzl

"Hello Fargo." Matteo said in a hulky voice."To whom do I owe this honour?""I thought about the proposal you made the last time and decided to invest, can we meet?""Now?" Fargo asked."What better time, if not now?"Fargo was in the process of transporting James to his house and it wasn't convenient at the moment but he thought briefly about how urgent he needed to finance his products."Hello, are you there?""Yea, I am." Fargo replied. "Hope you don't mind if I propose hosting you at my place?""Of course not, thanks for the honour." Matteo replied, happy he took the bait."I'm glad you didn't decline, I'll text you my address.""I'm waiting, see you soon."Matteo called Arthur back. "We are meeting at his place, I'll send you the location as soon as I get it.""If Fargo is heading to his place, then I'm sure that is Edward's destination.""I'll keep filling you in.""Thank you," Arthur paused for a second. "Please, be careful.""I will."***Patricia decided to head home after p

Edward continued to observe the activities going on the seventh floor. Initially, he was stuck between going after Patricia or finding more more about James situation.He opted for the latter seeing how heavily it was guarded. He began to think of how he could find a chance to sneak it and gather more Intel.After observing for some time, he saw Fargo walked out whispering to one of his surbodinates.The mere appearance of Fargo fuelled his anger as he felt it rose to it peak, he molded his fist but knew deep within him charging at Fargo that instant meant suicide.He needed Fargo to be all by himself and a chance presented itself when he saw only Fargo entered the elevator by himself without any of his men."Finally, a chance to pay you back." A big smile engulfed Edward's face, he decided he was going to take Fargo out. He couldn't bear to see him roam about when he had almost snuffed life out of him.Edward knew since Fargo was making use the elevator, he would need to be super fa
