Reggie's PovI stood close to the window as my eyes lingered on the new building opposite my father's company. "Sir? You asked to see me?" Alexia came after knocking. I didn't look back. I was still staring at the building, wondering who the fuck could have a hand in this. I mean, I saw when they were constructing the building but, I thought it was a mall, museum, or an event center… This is ridiculous. "CEO?" She heaved a deep sigh as she still wasn't getting a response. "Sir… Mr. Henry is threatening to pull out his shares if he doesn't get a better offer… or at least get to have a conversation with your father." Alexia's face etched with concern. "Summon all the board members," I said, taking my seat. "They need to be aware of this sudden threat," I said while glaring at the file she dropped earlier. "But first, I want to talk to the company's PR, and also… put a call to my private investigator. We need to find out who this enemy is.""Are you talking about the new wine company
Bella's pov [I took the pictures of the file you requested. I'd be on my way soon. Can't wait to tell you about today's experience in the office. Xoxo]That was the last text I got from Alexia. It’s 11 pm already and she's not back yet. I can't help but worry. She’s the only loyal friend I'd ever have. It's unlike her to keep late nights. I get it. She might wanna chill out, but at least she could have called me.Her numbers are not going through. I asked my bodyguards to look for her and they are yet to find her. Korozon dropped a glass of juice and walked into the kitchen. Alexia completely occupied my mind. But I was distracted by SpongeBob's voice on the TV.And then, I remembered the look on Reggie's face and the worry in his voice while addressing the board earlier today. It got me smiling. "I'm your biggest nightmare, Mr. Smith," I muttered slowly. "Your uncle called, and he'd be spending some time here, since your wedding is in three days." My aunt said, taking her seat. "Do
Bella[We are allies now. Bella doesn't have to be aware, well, except if you tell her. That being said, you can only take orders from me. Don't forget, I got cameras everywhere. I'm sure your mother's life is still precious to you.] Alexia read the text repeatedly as she walked out of a wine store. She had no choice but to do as Angelica said. She couldn't risk her mother's life nor losing me as her best friend. She called to inform me of her safety and impending arrival at my office. She obtained access to The-Aldama-Wine after placing her card. She took an elevator and got to the 5th floor, where my office was. She got out and made her way into my office. My secretary welcomed her and told her to take a seat that I was in a meeting.She sat waiting patiently to do as Angelica instructed. But she had yet to put the pills into the wine with her. 'What if Bella dies after drinking this?' She thought as she still had no idea what the pills were meant to do."Hello, is your boss in?"
Bella"Nice acting." Reggie clapped, taking his seat. Wait, what? He didn't buy the act?"You know? If I was your director… both of you would probably be sacked by now." He laughed, opening the wine he brought.Punk, Reggie was too smart. It's really hard to fool him, but either way, he has no evidence. "You never told me; you were friends with my secretary."I turned and stared intensely at him. "Who said we were friends?""Drop the act already, Miss Aldama. You can't fool this bad boy!" He laughed even harder, revealing his sexy dimples. I tried to stay conscious, but my eyes were blurry and my head was spinning."You have no proof." I managed to say. I tried to walk over to where he was, but my legs weakened and I was about to fall when Reggie caught me. "Careful." He said, staring into my eyes. "Are you okay?" He immediately felt that something was wrong. He slowly took me to the couch in my office so, I could sit comfortably. "I'm okay." I sneezed and tried to relax. "Then why
ReggieI couldn't help but smile. She wanted sex in a car? Is she being naughty or there's more to these actions? Her eyes were filled with desires, desires that yearned for my touch. She kissed and tried to remove her cloth, but I immediately stopped her."You know? I really love you a lot, Reggie." Bella smiles while touching my body."You do?" It seems strange... a sane Bella could never do this. She was too proud and sophisticated for this. I slowly brought my phone out to google these symptoms. Or can wine cause such an effect?Seeing what the cause was, my eyes widened. Bella was drugged? Damn! Then I thought of Brown. Could that be the reason he came to visit Bella's office? "Damit! That bastard." I muttered and clenched my fist. I was deep in thoughts and didn't notice that Bella had taken her top off."Don't you want me?" Bella hesitated, seeing that I was deep in thoughts. I turned and my gaze met a scar at the corner of her breast. Then I suddenly remembered my late wife
BellaI shivered as my body slowly entered the bathtub. Reggie was trying really hard not to stare at me. He held my hand and sat close to the bathtub.While staring at my face he said, "You tiny little thing… you really want to drive me nuts, huh?" After some time; I felt the crazy urge dissipating from my body. The cold water had helped to suppress the effect of the drug. I took a deep breath and slowly opened my eyes. My eyes scanned the entire bedroom and then it fell on Reggie, who was close to me. What happened? I turned and saw that I had been undressed. Wtf! I had no clothes on. Though I was still weak and inside the bathtub, I didn't feel comfortable. He wasn't staring but I had to be sure; we didn't... "Did we…" My brow creased in fear. I just couldn't help it. We could have done something, he could have seen something. I feel a slight headache as I slowly recall… 'Damn! In his car?' I facepalmed in irritation as I remembered those awkward moments… but what happened? Those
[One can't be drugged with mere wine, Investigate that and also, I'm a bit suspicious of Bella. She has the same scar as Maya. I want that investigated as well. I need an update in less than 12 hours.]Reggie sent the text to Stone and turned to me. I just had my bath, but I had nothing to wear. He walked over to his wardrobe and brought his pants and shirt for me to wear."Here, try this on." He stretched his hand and gestured for me to take it. I shook my head and rejected it. I couldn't possibly wear his clothes home. What would my uncle think? Brown knows his brother's clothes. He could easily tell that I had been with his brother throughout the time he thought I was missing. "Why? Is there something wrong with my shirt?" He smirked."What if Brown sees it on me and gets the wrong impression?" Reggie rolled his eyes. "You care about his feelings that much?" Reggie frowned. He couldn't help but feel jealous. "It's Sunday and most of the cloth stores around here won't open until n
Reggie *Bella's mansion*"Bella, where's Christa?" Alexia asked the moment Bella got inside. She gave Alexia a surprised and exhausted look. She just got back from work, how was she supposed to know?"I should be asking you… I just got back- where's korozon?" Bella asked. "We've been looking for her for the past three hours now." Alexia panicked, she thought Bella had taken Christa to the office."What!" Tears clouded her vision. She could hear her heart racing. She quickly stood up and walked into Christa's room. "Honey!" She cried, scanning the entire room but didn't get a response."Alexia, where's my daughter? - Where is Korozon? When last did you see her… call Bruno, call the police… do something, Christa can't go missing!" Bella cried searching the entire house for Christa."Bella, you need to calm down. We already informed the police. Aunt Esperanza and Korozon went out to look for her… and I was instructed to stay here, in case Christa comes back home." Alexia explained with
