Next morning, Austin woke up to a severe headache, he winced in pain holding up his head, And trying to remember everything from yesterday, then it came crumbling down his head. Someone had picked him up from the bar last night, and who could that be? Then few minutes she was on top of him, was she drunk as well?? Anger suddenly developed at his guts. Then he recalled he had sent her away before anything could happened. Austin Richard was the most handsome richest heir ever existed, but he wasn't someone to ever womanise. He believed in settling with whom he loved and that was Isa, the only woman he had adored all his life and waited for. Hissing once more, he sluggishly stood up from the bed still palming his head. When he checked the time, it was already past 9 and he dashed off to his bathroom to wash up. He came out in a robe and a dripping hair which he was drying with a white towel. He was doing that and began going downstairs, Austin suddenly haulted in his
Bella's hand tightened on her bag as she watched him passed by.His eyes focused to his front. She wrenched her gaze away from him and it landed on Dave.He had an apologetic look on his face as he came closer."I can get you where to stay, Bella." Dave muttered.Bella had dread in her eyes, she hated this guy standing before her so much now and she couldn't even hide it. "How dare you speak to me after what you did.""I'm sorry Bella, Austin is not actually who you think he is, I needed you to stay away from him as well."She scoffed painfully."You, that guy, and the scheming lady, you've done enough. I don't want to see you anywhere close to me in this life or any other again." She muttered and stopped a coming taxi. She hopped in weakly and left to her father's residence. But then, as she got to the gate, there was Ann and Sarah waiting for her with a paper, Sarah held out the paper on sighting her."You have to sign this first to get access." Sarah muttered, coldness laced at
When she looked at the screen, it had no caller ID Who could it be? Bella slowly picked it up and placed it on her ear. Sealing her lips from saying a word first. Then a weeping voice came through. "Is that you? Isa?" The voice muttered, in a shaky tone. Bella removed the phone from her ear. She looked at the screen again and placed it back. "Isa, is that you?" The voice weeped once again. This was the same name Austin had always called her. Who else knew about her past? Why calling her old line from many years ago? Who could it be? The questions lingered in her mind. "Who.. who.." Bella tried to speak, but the callers voice came again. "It's Jasmine, Where have you been?" She muttered, her voice still shaky, doubt lingering in her voice as though she wasn't sure yet. "Jasmine?" Who was Jasmine to Bella. She couldn't fanthom anything. Then her other phone began ringing. Her heart almost jumping out of her chest when she saw the caller Why was he c
'Do I have to tell anyone?'She contemplated within herself. Bella realised, her life would be at great risk if anyone gets to know her whereabouts. Her stepmother could come after her, Ethan, or even Austin.Hence she stood up silently and began picking some clothes into her box.Just then, a call came up at her phone.She looked back almost immediately, thinking it was Jasmine already calling back.But then, it was an unknown number.She picked it up anyways,Her heart began thumbing fast as she listened. She threw away the phone on her bed and ran out in so much speed.Tears welling up in her eyes.On reaching the street, she hopped into a taxi immediately.Her Father was the only family she had left. If anything should happen to him, she would be really left completely alone in this lonely world.She couldn't control her emotions now as she burst into pulls of tears inside the taxi.When they got to the hospital, she came down, paid the taxi and sprung off into the hospital emerg
Tears sprint down her eyes, the crazy weather never made her felt any better. The scorching sun and severe heat, gnawled at her skin as she ran along. There was no way she was going to be Mrs Williams. The f*cking cheat would never be her husband. Her father had selected him and made an alliance with the family to get married but not while he was disrespecting her. She had caught him with different girls, on different occasions having his dirty fun. "Such a slot!" She snapped increasing her pace. When she got tired, she bent her head for a while and continued her journey. Her body shooked, she jerked forward and running in full pace now when a car suddenly pulled beside her. "Leave me alone!" She screamed while running with her shoes dangling in her hand, and holding the huge wedding gown. She couldn't believe this was happening to her right now. More tears sprint from her eyes as she kept running. There was no way she could run more than a car as it suddenly p
Bella suddenly haulted in her track. Did she heard that clearly? What the f*ck was he saying now. "Let's go." He grabbed her hand and made to the car while she watched dumbfounded. "Drive to court." He ordered Dave. "And why do I need to be there?" "Cos we are getting officially married." She flared up in anger. She didn't run away from her wedding only to get married to a stranger. "You know what, I'm done here just drop me now!" she yelled in frustration. "I'll draft a contract, and you'll be my wife until father get done with his surgery, I'll compensate you handsomely, and that's also to payback for the help I rendered." Bella got more confused. A contract marriage? "And if I say I'm not interested?" "Then I'll have to destroy your family, I'll make sure whatever your family does go bankrupt and loosing everything until you have nowhere to go but to still run back to me." "So this was a trap, like I set my own trap? amazing!" She was damned overwhelme
"Ow amazing!" Her eyes held glint of excitement, she had seen it, her favourite of all time. A shiny Teddy wall. She sprung off immediately towards it. "Gosh she really is Isa, but what was Dave saying." Austin hissed. How could he not recognized her when they were all friends. Bella grabbed a huge Pinky teddy along with the twinkling wallpapers. She was sure to have a marvellous sleep now. "Is that okay?" Austin asked and she nodded rapidly, these decors were her typical decors back home. Exactly as she wanted them. Austin does other shoppings for her without letting her know and they went back. When she got to her room, she began placing the decorations in their right places, but not without bliss in her eyes. Austin watched her in amusement. Everything about her was screaming Isa. But then, how could she not know it was him or even recognize Dave a bit.. they really must have changed alot, but then.. He went in a daze, until his phone came bickering at
Her eyes darted everywhere. It was really going to happen. "Bella, I'm sorry, you just have to do this for the family, it's for all of us." He muttered holding up her hand. If only she could move. "{How about Ann, why must I be the one to be used for business. Dad please don't get me married.}." Tears dripped from a side of her eyes. "{Dad I know mum left you, according to history, but why must you do this to me, can't you see I'm even sick right now?}" Once he saw the tears, he cleaned it delicately. "I'm sorry." He muttered again, almost in whispers. Within some seconds, she came back with a paper and a thumbprint. Really?? She actually meant business. She was going to have her placed her thumbprints on a marriage certificate. "{Am I some goat or something?!}" She screamed, but of course nobody could hear her. "Sarah?" "Yes, she only needs to sign that's all." "Do it right then." Bella jerked immediately, her blood boiled rapidly in her veins. Sarah

He took back his phone immediately, staring down at the screen, there was no name. Then he picked it up. "Who the f*ck are you to distract my.." The bartender swiftly retrieved the phone from his hand. "He's drunk, can you come get him? I'll text you the address now." He hung up and began sending message. Just then Ann showed up almost immediately. "Isa?? I told you.. look at my Isa, I knew it! She has always been the one.. wait.. why do you smell different..?" he drunk talked as Ann took him, his hand on her shoulder. 'I smell different?? Have they been that closed??' Ann thought getting angry at everything. Just few hours back, she was done making a ganished noodles, the only thing she could prepare and had set the table, but Austin did not seem to be coming back home, hence she looked up for his contact and dialed immediately only for someone to tell her he was drunk, she sprung up as soon as she got the address and rushed down. But then he was calling her Isa, which
He hopped into his car and drove off immediately, unconsciously leaving Ann in his house.****Bella's eyes already got swollen from crying so much. She laid down helplessly and began dozing off slowly when a voice suddenly jolted her up, a voice she was so familiar with."How are you enjoying here little witch??" It was her stepmother.Bella's pupil dilated. She stood up slowly..."Please get me out of here, I didn't do it." She muttered, her eyes held desperation, she was already going into nervous breakdown, everything was sinking deeply and affecting her, she was loosing it."Please get me out!" Bella yelled."You deserve where you are right now, you can rott in hell." Sarah muttered and she shuddered."No! get me out! Where's dad, did he know I'm here?? Please get me out!" She pleaded but all Sarah did was smirked."Please!" She begged one more time, hope lingering in her eyes.Sarah shooked her head."There's only one way to get you out." She muttered and Bella sprung more clos
She kept looking back, but nothing changed, nobody came to her rescue until they shoved her inside their car.She accepted her fate, she was going to sleep in a cell for something she knew nothing about.In as much as Austin almost had tears in his eyes, there was anger, uncertainty, betrayal of trust in his heart.How could his Isa had stooped so low, she could've asked him if she needed money.He fumed and dashed away in his car.He knew she was going to be miserable in there, but he cared less at this moment.-------------When he got to his apartment, he was met with silence, his eyes unconsciously darted around, his jaw clenched into a thin line and his fingers tightened.Back then when his grandfather suggested going abroad for his studies, he refused blantantly cos of Isa, but they had him on a sleeping dose and had him transported against his wish. When he got there and had no other choice, he began his studies and couldn't wait to round up. On the day of his graduation, he wa
She sprung up to Mrs Beth. "He's about to sign now, he said I must take wine for him to sign." Mrs Beth gave her a disgusting look. "Austin?" She muttered but Austin's cold look at her send shivers down her spine. And even Dave had stoic expression on his face. "Since you're here, I think I should take my leave now." She muttered going towards Austin, but Mrs Beth was quick to give her a resounding slap. Not again! And what has she done now? "How dare you!" Mrs Beth fumed confusing her the more. "Son, I told you she is nothing but a gold digger, you chosed not to believe me, I hope you're seeing it now, that's what all this rechead bast*ds does!" She snorted then walked up to the man and retrieved the documents. "See it for yourself!" She threw at Austin who now had a fierce look along with painful glints in his eyes. "Can you explain this?." He pointed the documents at Bella, his voice as cold as an ice, it made her shuddered. He had never spoken to her like this sin
She sighed and turned to leave, but never stopped wondering and trying to figure out why there was Austin in her picture. If he was there, then he must've valued the picture so much to have hung it at their Villa and that means they were once class mates? she shuddered as her heart skipped several beats. She looked down at the Address in her hand. Then she realized she had got some work to do to get approval from her supposedly contracted mother in law, she sighed heavily as she brushed her hair aside. ********** At the mansion, the atmosphere was chilly and it felt as though someone could get strangled by her hands. This sudden visitor, was one she couldn't wait to throw Bella at and rest. "I said to give us time, why are you here?!" Sarah screamed at his face, but Ethan wasn't fazed by her fierceness. He pushed his way inside and sat on the couch. He came with a laptop that he dropped on the center table and had it opened. Sarah stared at him knowing he was upto no
