CHAPTER 21

The ringing tone was loud and sharp, piercing into her ear. Her phone had never rung this long and this early and she was forced to answer the phone. “Yes?” She growled through gritted teeth without glancing at the caller ID. “Good morning. Please, am I on to Miss Bella Stone?” A rather familiar voice asked. “Yes,” Bella answered, this time around, taking a look at the caller ID on her phone. Her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets on noticing where the call was from.“This is Nurse Ann from…” The voice was saying when Bella quickly interrupted. “Is everything okay with my brother?” She asked, sitting upright on the bed. “Unfortunately, Bella, your brother developed some complications during the wee hours of the morning and we need you to sign some paperwork so we can begin an emergency procedure on him right away ma’am.” The nurse said in a professionally calm voice. “Of course, I would be there right away,” Bella said as she jumped down from the bed, her heart pounding so h

CHAPTER 22

Arthur let out a breath and gently pushed Bella’s head off his shoulder. His heart ached knowing that he would be leaving her all alone to deal with this, but he had something important to take care of as well. His life’s work was at stake here and he had to make sure everything was put under control. “Yes?” Bella asked startled. “Is he out yet?” She opened her eyes to meet his worried face. Arthur shook his head, wishing that none of these was happening. “Okay.” She continued to stare at him hoping he would say something.“Bella, I have to leave now. There is an emergency and I need to take care of things.” He said to her and stood on his feet. Bella replicated his actions with her forehead squeezed in worry. “What’s wrong?” “Nothing to bother yourself about, okay? I will be back as soon as possible. If you need anything, you can call Ms Jenkins, she will be at your beck and call.” He said, kissed her on the forehead, and quickly walked away.The kiss was short and brief, but Be

Chapter 23

Arthur stared and watched as Edward walked around the table and leaned beside him, pushing his device to his face. “So, the team and I were able to run some background checks about the woman you asked me to find.” Edward began, but Arthur was way too anxious.“Do you have her location?” Arthur demanded anxiously. Edward swallowed. “Not the location sir, but her most recent picture.”With spiked interest, Arthur craned his head to stare at the picture in the device. The picture was grainy and of low quality and Arthur guessed it was from a security camera. However, that wasn’t exactly what pissed him off the most. The only clear item on the photo was the back view of the lady in it. Edward saw the frustration etched on his boss’s forehead and quickly spoke up. “We were able to run an age simulation on the picture of the woman and we coupled it with this photo. Together, we were able to achieve this.” He said and swiped the phone screen, bringing up a clearer back view photo of a p

Chapter 24

“Good evening, Miss.” Arthur greeted the pretty lady, unable to take his eyes off her. He had been staring for a few seconds now, and he could swear that he had seen those eyes before. “Good evening Mr. Arthur.” The woman smiled back at him. “I am sorry Miss, but have we met before?” Arthur asked, confused as to why his brain couldn’t make any connection as to where he had seen her before. “No, Mr. Arthur. I don’t believe we have met before, but I have been looking forward to meeting you for a long time now.” The woman said and gave him her smile again, a smile that gave him nostalgia.“Mr. Arthur, are you okay?” Matilda asked raising a brow. Her hand were still in his, so she squeezed a little to get his attention. “Oh, I am sorry. I am here Miss.” Arthur jolted out of his reverie. “I would leave you both now to discuss further." Lawrence said and disappeared, leaving the both of them. “Well, I won’t mince too many words with you, Mr. Arthur. I am here with a business propositio

The doctor, Lawrence had called in finished examining Bella."How is she doing?" Arthur asked panicking as she watch her sleeping."Thankfully, she is okay but need to have enough rest.""Why isn't she opening her eyes if she is okay.""The drugs I gave to her is taking its effect, you don't have to worry.""But...""Arthur, Doctor Rodriguez is going to be on standby so you don't have to worry about a thing."

Doctor Rodriguez broke off the handshake and excused himself.Arthur ran his hands over Bella’s hair, praying for her to open her eyes. He hadn’t meant to hit her. He never knew she was standing beside him when he had sent out that deadly blow. Now, he hated himself for even getting into the fight in the first place, and he hated Fargo more for making him make the same mistake for the seco

Chapter 26

Arthur’s lips tinged from the memory of his kiss with Bella before he dashed out. It had been quick and short, but so powerful that his body still coursed with the feelings it had elicited in her. It was the only reason he was still sane at this moment and he wished she was right there in the same room with him to sink all his worries deep into her. But life had other plans as his throat constricted, watching the video of him punching Fargo at the party at Lawrence’s. It wasn’t the first time he was watching the video, but each time he watched the clip, his anger grew, threatening to burst through him. “Is there anything I can help you with?” Fred, his office assistant, asked in concern. The clip was all over the internet and everyone was saying things about him. “There is nothing you can help me with except to walk away and leave me in peace.” Arthur barked at the man. “I was only trying to help sir.” Fred flinched and it only angered Arthur the more. “Okay fine. Since you wan

Chapter 27

Arthur let out a smile as he watched Matilda walk out of his office. Thankfully, the woman had been easy to please and just wanted something simple; for him to keep sensitive information of her users away from the public space.She ran an escort service that catered to the rich and mighty, people who wouldn’t appreciate their personal business getting to the public space. While he had no right to judge the woman, he couldn’t help but admit that she looked way too innocent for the kind of business she's into.But then, he shouldn’t be surprised by that. His line of business had made him see worse from people and he knew he had no right judging people by their looks anymore.He had just sat down at his desk when his door buzzed opened."You forgot some...""It's me boss."The moment Edward strolled into the office, Arthur remembered the task he had assigned to him and shook his head at his forgetfulness.“Alright, tell me, where the hell do I know this woman from?” Arthur demanded.“Un

Arthur stared at the phone screen and his blood began to boil."How dare they go after Bella?" He yelled at the top of his voice. "She doesn't deserve any of this." He muttered under his breath trying to control himself. He was a public figure and he believed the spotlight should be on him, he was afraid they would feed off her naivety and take her privacy away. He quickly grabbed his phone and dialed Bella's phone, it rang but there was no response.His heart began to race and many dread scenes ran through his head.Grabbing his suit, he threw directives at Edward. “Get my car ready and track Bella's driver to know where they are.""On it boss." Edward turned to leave."Wait a minute," He took a second to think. "Since they've gotten to her, they won't rest until they get every piece of information to feast on. Make sure no one leaks news about her brother. Call your men and have them surround the premises discreetly.”"Yes boss." Edward nodded and hurried out of the office. “Davi

One of the nurses rushed in to find James agitated.She grasped at the broken television. "Oh my god, what happened here?""Get me Arthur Lorenzo!" James shouted at the top of his voice."You should be in bed, you're going to hurt yourself." The nurse tried to calm him down."I don't care, get me Arthur now." James took another whip at the television shattering it more.The nurse stopped on her tracks and used her two hands to block her ears as she shudder in fear.Two men rushed in, smartly dressed up in suits startling James and the attending nurse."And who are you?"
