"What's going on, Bella? - Mr. Smith? Is there a problem?"We turned our heads and saw Favio standing in front of us.I was breathing heavily and my blood was still boiling with anger after yelling at this piece of shit called Mr. Smith."That question should be directed to you, Favio." He said, now turning his gaze to Favio. "It seems your workers know pretty well how to disobey and yell at customers. Perhaps I shouldn't have come here." I frowned. "Well, if you didn't act like a jerk and allowed me choose the old…"Favio turned his gaze and gave me a murderous look. Like I had gone against his biggest rule. "Quiet!" He shut me off. "I sincerely apologize on Bella's behavior, sir. We are currently working on her behavior towards customers." Favio said to Reggie, who obviously didn't care."Bella, come with me." He took my hands to leave, but I didn't move. I took the hundred-dollar bill off my cleavage and opened my mouth to talk but Favio yelled."One more word from you and you'll
Bella "Bella! My office, now!" I jumped out of bed as my heart raced at the sound of Favio's voice.I had been avoiding him since last night and I knew he couldn't wait to scold me.I walked into his office, still in my pajamas and hair Bonet. I wasn't working till later in the evening when it's my shift and I wasn't ready to wake up anytime soon, but here we are."Before you yell, sir. I…""Save it." He cut me short and leaned on his seat while giving me a stern look.He narrowed his eyes as if he was tired of trying to make me see reasons, but my stubbornness would cost him a lot if he didn't do something."I don't wanna hear whatever you have to say, young lady. You knew Mr. Smith was an important client and you should hide that stubbornness of yours. But no, you had to blow things up."I rolled my eyes in my head."But I wasn't rude to him." I shook my head frantically. "He called me a slut. He doesn't have the right to just because he's a billionaire."Favio breathes heavily and
"Welcome Bella." He walked over to his seat in front of me. "Make yourself comfortable. Do you need anything?" He pressed the intercom. "Um… I'm okay, sir..""Levi, call me Levi." He still had that smile on his face. It still hadn't disappeared since he got in."Okay, Levi. Uh… my boss…""Yes, I asked to see you… You remember me from last night, right?" He asked softly, his expression gentle as his eyes searched mine. I nodded. Then my stomach started rumbling. He paused as his eyes fell on my stomach. I quickly placed my hands on it. As if trying to calm it down.I had skipped breakfast, and it's really embarrassing. I couldn't even bring my face up to look at the gentleman in front of me."You're hungry." His eyes narrowed and I still couldn't look up at him.I shook my head. "Nope. Just a running…"My stomach made the embarrassing sound and my heart skipped. I lowered my head even more.I looked at my stomach. 'Seriously?' He chuckled. "But your stomach is telling me otherwise."
Daniel didn't budge. He was used to me, but then he was fed up. "Why are you this angered?" "Of course I'm not. I'm just so pissed. I could rip the life out of that friend of yours." "Okay, why are you pissed? She's not your sister, you're not related, she's not even your lover. So why are you getting so worked up?" "Shut up! You know nothing, okay? If that would be all, please leave my office!" I roared. Anyone would have left, but Daniel wasn't threatened by me."I know why you are angry. You feel something for her, don't you?" He heaved a deep breath and took his seat in front of me. I narrowed my eyes as I immediately remembered giving him a job to carry out."I got her investigated." He said, as if reading my thoughts. He stretched his hand out and I collected the brown paper in his hands."Her surname wasn't found. If I didn't look closely, I'd think she's that famous business tycoon in Manhattan, but no." Daniel started, and I raised my eyes to look at him.Sure he didn't d
ReggieI walked into the place only to see her looking like she had been rough-handled. Her hair was a mess and some parts of her clothes were torn. You did the same to my dad. It's okay right I do the same to you. You don't hurt a Smith and get away with it."How long has she been like this?" I asked the person in charge."Six months now, sir. Should we continue or just get her treated?" He asked, staring at Angelica, who seemed to be talking to the doll in her hands.We couldn't go in. We just stood out. Staring at her from the outside."No. Let her remain like this. I'll get back to you if I ever change my mind." I rubbed my chin while staring at the freak in front of me."But sir…"Without sparing the man a glance, I said, "No 'buts', just do as I have said." I said. My voice void of emotions.*I arrived at the Manhattan station. I walked in with Stone by my side.Brown saw me and immediately got up from the mattress he was sitting on."Well, well, well, if it's not the prodigal
"Oh… I see. You're treating me and your unborn child this way just because of this shameless cheat?" She pouted. I rolled my eyes and walked away. I got into my office and she followed suit.I sighed, then pressed my intercom. "Get me a hot coffee," I ordered my secretary before letting out another sigh. Why did seeing both Levi and Bella bother me this much? It's not that I love or care about Bella. "After all these years! Your heart still melts whenever you see her." Alexia started faking a tear."Not now, Alexia." I waved."Seriously? I thought you weren't affected when you saw her at the bar the other day. What happened? Take it from me, the way she was enjoying Levi's company… I'm sure he had already had his way with her." She explained, rubbing her tummy."That is none of my business. We are no longer together, so she can sleep with whoever she wants." I muttered harshly. It was obvious I wasn't concerned, but what she just said got under my skin."Good to hear. Me and our
I gulped, my eyes remained glued to his lips and a desire to taste those divine lips stirred within me, but I had to maintain composure. "Can you just stop already? What do you want from me?" "You." He said expressionless."Not on your life," I murmured, but gosh! He heard me. Those words cut deep in him.Not in his life? The nerve. He narrowed his eyes."I have a very bad temper. You really wanna try me?""Well, my temper is worse." I raised my chin up at him. "I see your tongue has gotten sharper over the years," He narrowed his eyes, "But I'm not complaining, in fact? I love the new you." He continued, not breaking eye contact. "So you now work for Levi, isn't it?" He asked, taking a few steps forward while I took a step backward."Yes, do we have a problem with that, Mr. Reggie?" I swallowed as my back touched the wall and I knew there was no escape as he got close to me even more.Wait? I just called him Reggie.That name… Reggie… Why do I have the feeling that I know that nam
"I got her close first. It's only fair I get to sleep with her first, you punk," Reggie yelled back.Sleep with her? Who and what were they talking about? "Never! A deal is a deal." Levi's voice came."We both know Bella is a slut. If you wanna fuck her, it's fine. But you'll allow me have my way with her first." That was Reggie's voice.My soul left my body and my face turned white.A deal is a deal? Good lord. My eyes became teary as I heard a voice behind me."Ma'am? You can't stand there." It was Reggie's secretary.She had probably seen me eavesdropping. "I'm sorry," I said, walking out even though I heard them saying more threatening words to each other and I really wanna know why and how they both wanna have their way with me.Reggie called me a slut again. And I had foolishly proved him right after all.I'm such a big fool. Why did I allow my stupid urge get the best of me?~My cheeks were red. I looked up and saw that the car stopped at the Oakland club.I looked at the t
