Red Eye looked at the man running and sighed. “How will I do it?“ He asked, but there was no one to answer him.With pursed lips, he reached for his phone. He just prayed that whatever he was going to do would work.He punched in some digits and numbers, sweat forming on his forehead. And only two minutes later, he exhaled deeply. “You should thank me properly for this, Boss,” he said.…“Eze, please don't do this,” I said, tears falling from my eyes. I could not look away from the gun in fear that he would actually shoot.But Eze did not flinch. “I don't want to do it, Bella. And that is why you should sign it quickly. We don't have time,” he said.And at the same time, a loud groaning of an engine was heard above us. I shivered more when I saw a helicopter circling above us.“We are late,” he said, holding my hand and yanking him towards himself. He wrapped his hands around me tightly. “I am really sorry about this. We have to go.““Eze!“ I cried out aloud. I regretted ever contacti
…I felt ashamed every time I looked at Xin. After leaving the house secretly, he still showed up to save me.I pursed my lips and looked at him again. “Um, I am sorry.”“It is fine, Bella. You don't have to apologize about anything,” he said, cutting me short. And I looked at him in confusion.Wasn't he supposed to be mad at me? Why did he behave like I had done nothing wrong?“Aren't you mad at me?“ I asked again. The whole thing was making me so uneasy. I would be fine if he was mad at me or if he said some hurtful words to me.Xin pursed his lips and looked at me. “If I hadn't come, would you have left with him?“ He asked.And I quickly shook my head at him. “No, I was going to fight,” I explained. I would never have allowed Eze to take me away with him. I wouldn't leave my son behind.A small smile appeared at the corner of Xin's lips. “I am not mad at you,” he said.I inhaled deeply. “Really?“ I asked. I hoped that he wasn't planning something.Xin nodded his head. “Yes, Bella.
…I opened my eyes, and I was confused for a while. The room was filled with light, and it didn't look anything like night anymore.I looked at the clock on the wall, and I sighed. It was nine o'clock in the morning.I quickly checked my phone, and I sighed in disappointment. I should have fallen asleep while waiting for a reply from him. Huh! That was very stupid of me.The text was obviously read, but he hadn't replied to it. Did he choose to ignore it? I had gathered so much courage before I decided to send him that.I lay still for a while before going to clean up. It didn't matter. I had done it, and I couldn't undo it.When I went to the living room, he wasn't there. Annie told me that he had left so early in the morning.I could only shrug and go back to my room. If he chose to avoid me, then it was fine.…As usual, Abby was the first one to walk into Chris's room in the morning. He cleaned his face and sat on the bed beside him.“Chris, I have been here for the last month. Wh
…Xin walked into his grandfather's house and found him drinking tea. He didn't bother to greet him. He took a seat right away and looked into his eyes.“You are back,” the old man said calmly. “Did you take her back to your house?“Xin looked back at him coldly. “I want to know something, grandpa. What happened to the Yan Company?“ He asked.The old man seemed shocked to hear the question. Then he burst out laughing. “What do you mean? You know very well that it was sold to us,” he said.And Xin clenched his fists. “Yes, it was sold to us. But I want to know who sold it to us,” he stated. He just didn't want to believe that he was a fool for not realizing the truth earlier.The old man became uneasy. He looked at his grandson, and he trembled a little. “Taylor? Kaycie? I don't know, and I don't care. My interest was to make XY better. I paid whatever they wanted in full,” he said.And Xin stood up angrily. “Grandpa, you know clearly that it wasn't Taylor who sold it off. Why don't yo
Xin seemed surprised. He was silent for a second, probably trying to digest the words.Slowly, he looked up at me. “Can you repeat the words you just said?“ He asked.I felt embarrassed. I didn't know what had come over me for me to say such words. “Um, I…”Xin held my hand and looked into my eyes. “Bella, just say it,” he said, pushing me to speak.I rubbed my forehead and looked back at him. “I won't marry you if you separate Yan Corporation from XY,” I said at last.A small smile appeared on his lips. “Let's get married then,” he said, standing up.I widened my eyes at him. “What are you doing?“ I asked. I hadn't said that we were getting married immediately.“Going to register for our marriage again... No! This time, we are holding a wedding! A great one.”I was about to stop him from talking when his phone rang. I sighed in relief. Who knew? Xin was capable of dragging me all the way to register for marriage.…A while back.Abby sat on the bed beside Chris, holding his hand. It
Abby sighed inwardly. “No, I didn't. Chris was fighting to wake up,” she said. She didn't want trouble with anyone.Trisha chuckled and sat on the floor beside her. “It is good that you know that. He was fighting to be with his baby,” she said, rubbing her belly.Abby's face turned a little sadder. But she still nodded her head. “That's right,” she said.And this annoyed Trisha. “The time has come, Abby. You have to pack your things and leave for good. If I see you again, I will kill you,” she said.Abby sat there quietly for a while. Was she threatening her?Then she chuckled and looked at Trisha. “I was going to leave anyway. But that's not because of you. I am not scared of you because I know that your end is coming soon,” she said, standing up. She didn't have any more time to waste.But just a short distance away, she almost bumped into Chris's dad. “Sorry,” she said, her head bowed.Mr. Blake immediately steadied himself. “Abby, I was looking for you,” he said.Abby tensed up. W
My heart began beating so fast when I heard the words. I quickly unfolded the letter to read it.'Chris, I'm so happy that you finally woke up. You had scared me to death.I want you to know that the days I spent around you were the best. I love you.I'm also very happy that your family was so good to me. Your mom treated me like her own daughter.However, we both know that I can't stay. You need to take care of your unborn child, and I can't get in the way. If fate allows it, I know we will meet again.I meant it when I said I had something to tell you. But I am scared of the outcome now. One day, you might get to know it.I'm going far away. Don't worry about me. I will take very good care of myself. Please, don't come looking for me.Abby.'My eyes turned teary immediately. When I told her to accept the truth, I didn't mean that she should leave.Abby was still a baby. I didn't think she could take care of herself like she said. We really needed to find her.“Chris!“ I called. “You
I held her hand and looked into her eyes. “To take you back home. You can't be out here on your own,” I said.But she shook her head. “No, Bella. I can't come back. It is just so hard for me,” she explained, her voice trembling.“You can't leave when you are pregnant,“ I said. I didn't know why she was so stupid. “Abby, I did this same thing when I was pregnant. It is not easy at all,” I explained.“But you still survived, right?“ She asked, tears falling from her eyes. “Bella, I don't want to go back. Please, just leave. Tell them you didn't see me.“I sighed. “Is it because of Trisha? Chris isn't her child's dad. You don't have to worry about that anymore,” I said at last.I had thought that it would be a good idea if she heard that directly from Chris. However, I had to do anything to make her stay.She froze in place and stopped struggling. “What?“ she asked.“Abby!“Chris ran towards us and pulled her into his arms. “Where the hell did you think you were going?“ He asked.I sighe
