She stared at him like he had gone totally insane."Why are you laughing?" She asked slowly as the smirk disappeared from her face."I'm laughing at your stupidity." Nicolas spat to her face and she hummed."Really?" She asked lowly."Your guts to have come into my office to harm me and you think you would go scot free." He replied and she stood to her feet."I didn't come with the aim to hurt you but I might if you don't do as I say." She said, backing him."You'll have that chance only if you and your gang are able to leave here safely." Nicolas said with a slight smirk forming on his lips. He tried to tap on the red botton below the couch but Bella was quick enough to kick his hand off as she dragged him up and made him sit, forcefully though.It made him groan out loud again and this time, with him holding unto the hand which was kicked."Just sign the damn paper." Bella said now frowning as she stretched forth the file to him once again. Nicolas let out a long sigh of despair an
The morning sun shone brightly like it never rained all through the night. Its rays penetrated into the car and into the eyes of one of the occupants.Lillian placed her hand around her eyes, preventing the sunshine from penetrating further. She rubbed her eyes before she managed to sit up."It's morning already." She mumbled still rubbing her eyes in a small yawn. She turned to the other side and she met with Don's peaceful face. He was still sleeping and it made him looked calm at the moment unlike the Don she knew who always had a cold expression on.She turned completely to face him as she admired him. She stared from his eyes which were still closed, down to his lips and she smiled."He is handsome like his sister claimed." She muttered in a nod and clicked her tongue.His eyes snapped open and she shifted backwards immediately. He sat up instantly like he was being chased from a nightmare. "Good morning." She said but he didn't reply.He stared out the window and brushed thro
"Get a bottle of wine and glass cups for two." Nicolas said to his secretary on the phone before dropping it back on the ace plate.He took his gaze back to the guests he had in his office as he tried not to reveal too much of his nervousness."Thank you for honoring my invitation." He said in a nervous smile."I didn't honor it just because I wanted to, the offer looked quite tempting, you know." Brandon stated in a smirk."But still, I appreciate." Nicolas said nodding slightly."Anyways, down to the main business." Brandon said as he rested back on the seat with legs crossed against each other."Yeah,,,,," Nicolas breathed out nervously and paused for a while.A knock came on the door and he took his gaze to it. "Come in." He voiced out. It opened and the secretary came in with a tray which contained a bottle of wine and two glass cups.She dropped it on her boss's desk and poured some of the wine into the glass cups. She bowed slightly to her boss before walking out of the offic
She paused the video immediately with her right hand. Her breaths were becoming heavy as she rested weakly on the rails. "No, it can't be." She muttered and shook her head. She resumed the video again and what she saw made her scream out loud together with the screams from her phone. By this time, the wind has already become too chilly for her to stay. "Fred can't do this, he can't." She mumbled again to herself, this time with her voice quivering more than before. She paused the video, unable to take in the tension that was adjoining. She shook her head once again as if trying not to believe what she saw. She dialed the number the video was from and tried to call it but it was unable to connect. She tried it out the second time and the same thing occurred. "Shit!" She muttered hitting hard on the rails. She hissed out lightly in pain when she wrung her hand in the process. She stared at the screen of her phone emptily like she was still unsure of what she saw. But something
"Take everything to the closet and make sure to arrange them properly," Eva ordered pointing to the closet. The maids did as they were all told as they went in to drop off the luggage.The door opened immediately and Bella came in looking a little confused. Eva glanced at her before taking her gaze away."What's with the commotion here?" She asked coming closer to her."What commotion?" Eva asked back nonchalantly as she turned to her."I saw you coming in with your luggage, so I would like to know what it's all about," Bella asked folding her hands underneath her boobs."You mean that?" Eva said clicking her tongue as she suck in her breath."Yeah, I would like to know," Bella said in a demanding tone staring keenly at the lady in front of her."Well, it's simple. I decided to come here to stay for a while." Eva said flipping her hair backward stylishly."Stay here?" Bella said staring quizzically at her."Yeah, you heard me right. What? Why looking so shocked? Not like this is the
"Huh? Answer my damn question!" She yelled out again."Would you stop yelling before you start to feel pain down your throat?" He said loudly tilting his head as he stared at her."And do I look like I care?" She asked feeling exasperated. "You might not but I do. I care if you begin to feel pain and that's because I love you." He said staring directly into her eyes. "I've loved you right from childhood and up till now, I still do. I've always held you in great esteem in my heart but instead, you broke my heart a thousand times by marrying that man." He lashed out staring directly at her. One could easily detect the pain in his voice.Lillian could barely stare into his eyes anymore, she threw her face to the side with a deep frown as she pretended not to listen to anything he was saying. She scoffed and turned back to face him still with a frown."I didn't plan to break your heart, circumstances made me. There was no way I'd have let my selfishness fail my mother. It was what she
Bella poured in wine into her cup as she gulped it all at once. She was at the bar drinking after her encounter with Eva. She poured another content into the cup and this time, she took a sip. She dropped the glass cup back on the table and clicked her tongue in a small sigh. "Hey!" She heard from behind and turned. "Hi!" She said, turning back to concentrate on her drink. "What are you doing now?" Rex asked coming to sit beside her. "I'm just chilling out here." She replied tiredly as she took another gulp. "Without me?" He asked raising a brow and she chuckled. He took out a glass cup from the bar and poured wine into it. "So, what happened? You look quite upset." He said again after taking a sip. Bella glanced at him and let out a long sigh. "It's just that I have a bad feeling about Eva coming here to stay. I mean why would she come here to stay when my brother clearly has a wife?" She said more like a question as she pouted cutely. "She is staying?" Rex asked sounding
The gates slide open as a Toyota Camry drove in. It parked a meters away from the gate and the people in it alighted.Bella sighted her brother stepping down from the car and she rushed towards him. Don tried to walk past her thinking it was still about what they discussed earlier but she stopped him by holding unto his wrist.He turned to her in a weary look and raised a brow without saying a word. "Where the heck did you put your phone?" She groaned out looking frustrated."What is it, Bella?" Don said instead."Where did you put your phone? I've been calling you for the past few hours." She groaned out loud."I was busy dealing with business and all" He replied nonchalantly. "So busy that you had refused to answer my calls?" She asked glaring hard at him."You and I know I don't joke with anything that has to do with business, everything else can be sorted out later on." He answered sternly."Really?" She scoffed out and exhaled sharply. "Anyways, your wife has been........."
