Bella's POV “I will do just that, Mr Walker. Thank you again!” “Thank you, Doc.” Tears slipped out of the corners of my opened eyes which has been staring at the ceiling walls since I woke up. I clearly heard Aaron's conversation with the Doctor in charge of my health. I heard him deny our baby—He wasn't the father. I gripped the bedspread of the bed I laid on with anger and infuriation. How much I wished I were chanced to get up and fucking leave at that moment, but I couldn't. I felt useless... How could he deny us? I placed my hand that was receiving IV fluid on my baby bump and rubbed steadily as tears kept slipping out of my eyes. The door flew open again, and like whom I expected... He walked in. I watched as he swept his hair backwards, his gaze taking me whole, and then he dipped his two hands into his pants pocket like nothing had happened. “You're awake. Finally,” He said, his voice low and flat, and then I looked away from him. Not like I wanted him here
Bella's POV“And you aren't scared that he might launch an attack?” Came Agatha's voice again from the receiver.Wasn't it obvious? He tried killing me countless times so it was nothing new. “Yes, I'm not.” I replied straightforwardly. “No, you do not understand what I'm-”“I clearly understand you, Agatha. And it's you I need right now.” I cut her off.“You need my help?”I sighed then nodded like she could see me even though it was simply a phone conversation. “Yes. I want to leave the hospital as quick as possible, but I'm being restricted by the doctor, who is weird,” I explained.“And I need you to come over to help me.” I added.A silence enveloped between us until she cleared her throat. “You know that's risky for you... What if Aaron has a secret surveillance to watch you?” She inquired from the other end, and my eyes searched the ward I was placed in for any sight of cameras, but there were none.“He doesn't. Look, Aaron wants to end my life, and I know it's just a matter o
Aaron's POV“Thank you sir, come again next time!” The woman at the cashier table bid me a goodbye as I strolled out of the mall when my phone started to ring at the driveway.My brows knitted when I saw it was Sasha calling and I wondered what went wrong again.“Sasha?” I called, my voice stern and solemn.“It's Bella...” She trailed off.My jaw flexed, my fist folded into a ball as I gritted. “What happened to her? And don't fucking trail off, I want to hear the full details.”“The doctors and healthcare professionals can't find her anywhere in the hospital. She left...” She answered.“She left?” I asked in disbelief. “That bitch. I knew she's been up to no good from the onset. And I don't think she left alone, someone must have helped her.” Sasha said from the end, but I was too daft to pay heed to her.Bella escaped despite my surveillance? Who could have assisted her? And I sware to God, if that person is caught, I wouldn't hesitate to gun that person dead.“No... She can't poss
Aaron's POV“It's good to hear it's mutual,” She muttered and formed a forced smile across her lips that I could tell from.“I'm always at your service,” I pretended with a bow and chuckled.“You might want to drink your tea before it gets cold.” “I said I don't want to.” She snapped.“I understand that it's your hormones working, but can you for once learn how to control them, or I might just end up losing myself,” I seethed.“No hormones, I don't have an appetite. Let me go, Aaron!” She shouted almost immediately.“I should have just tied your mouth.” I gritted, but she didn't budge. Obviously, those damn hormones of hers.Seriously, why are women so difficult to deal with?“Let me go, Aaron. I beg of you. I need to go back home... E-Everyone must be looking for me... Let my Mom go...” She pleaded with teary eyes.“Oh, Laura. You never learn, do you?” I retorted with a question and leaned closer to give her a light stroke on the hair and she sniffled.“You are my bait, and until wh
Agatha's POVI stared at Bella for the millionth time since today as she kept eating from her meal quietly.“Aren't you going to say anything?” I broke the silence with a question, and she gazed up at me.“Why did you fire the maid?” She retorted with a question.I scoffed before drinking from my juice. “Is that what has been bothering you?” “You terminated her employment for no reason, Agatha. If your Dad returns and gets to know of her disappearance, he might rage on me.” She complained gruffly.“Didn't you hear how she spoke to you? She is a mere maid, and she deserves to be laid off.” She replied with a sigh. “Dad won't make it a big deal if we lied that Raven left by herself and without me terminating her employment. That way, he won't get mad at you.” I added, and I saw her sigh in relief.“If that's it. But still, you shouldn't have fired her. Perhaps it was a misunderstanding which could have been settled.” “Are you nervous?” I asked the moment I saw the anxiety look in her
Agatha's POV “Yes, that's what I want. Thank you for saving me, Agatha.” She replied. “Dad...” I gawked at her with a new expression, and he groaned, obviously understanding my sign. “It'd be night soon, you don't expect me to take her to the airport.” He complained. “Mr Landon, please...” “Alright, fine. I want you to get out of here as well because you aren't needed. Go get dressed and pack whatever is yours while I book your flight.” Dad cut her off before she could complete her words and walked away. “Finally,” She sighed in relief. “Finally? You're happy that you're leaving?” I asked in bewilderment, and she nodded her head. “I had plans to relocate outside the country after everything is over, Agatha. I don't want my baby to interfere in whatever was going on.” She explained. “It's alright. I understand you. Who wouldn't pick safety? I mean, look at you, you're pregnant, and you need rest to a successful delivery. But then, Laura too...” I paused, fighting back th
Aaron's POV Immediately Mrs Corazon held her chest and passed out on the floor, I rushed out of the house to prevent myself from being seen or accused by anyone. I wanted to disclose everything with the woman, but the damn woman passed out even before I could start. My hands pressed lightly on the steering wheel, with the thoughts of Bella escaping me. Where could she have gone to? Did she find any evidence to incriminate me? Lately, I received some information from Sasha that Agatha was actually the one who helped Bella to escape from the hospital, and that was why I had come to visit her, and right in time, her darling Mom happened to be around. This was not going to be over until I said it's over. Agatha had messed with the wrong person by having the thoughts that she could step on my toes. I picked up my phone and dialed Bea's line. “H-Hello...M-Mr Walker?” Her voice came from the receiver. “Let's start, Bea. I can't wait any longer,” I replied. “But... Mr Walker...
Agatha's POV“Will my Mom be okay, Doctor?” I asked the Doctor immediately he stepped out of the ER.“Are you related to her?” He asked.“What kind of question is that? I just asked if my Mom is alright”. “She's currently unconscious, but she's normal again.” He responded.“Any complications?” I inquired.“She passed out as a result of heart attack. Did she receive any bad news that had endangered her life?” I shook my head slowly. “She suffers from heart attacks, Doc, but it's been long since she had an encounter with one until lately.” I sniffed.“Well, did she receive any bad news?” “No... She didn't.” I denied. He observed at me for a while and nodded.“Even though that's not what I think happened here, I will pass. She'll be moved down to a normal ward to resume her treatment there. I just need to drop some precautions, her heart seizure was as a result of receiving bad news, and she had almost lost her life.” He explained.“What do I need to do, Doc?” “She must be kept away
