Belle's POVThere was a look of contentment on Lucy's face when she took off the glasses and one of shock and fear in Jessie's.Gabrielle stood, oblivious to what was amiss and stretched her hands towards Jessie for a handshake.When the latter absentmindedly took her hand, she had no option but to turn to Lucy and asking with her eyes what was going on."Is there a problem?" Gabrielle asked staring between the both of them. "Aunt?"Lucy smiled. "Sit down Brie. I think Jessie here has an introduction to do."Gabrielle reluctantly took her seat beside me again and turned to look at me. The look on my face must have still had the shock expression in it because she threw her hands in the air."What is going on?" Gabrielle asked me.Lucy smiled again and this time, turned to give me a weird look. "Isn't she stunning, Belle."Women were really very dangerous when they've been scorned and wealthy women, more dangerous.I cleared my throat before finding the voice to speak. "She is, Lucy." I

Belle's POVThe look on his face reeked of intimidation and just immediately, I felt confident. Alexander shouldn't be a man that intimidated me anymore, this was someone who knew nothing about how to keep his dirty linen out of his family's business and still dumb enough to think they knew nothing about it."How did you get into the house?" I asked."I just got in, Belle. Was I not supposed to?""You can get in if someone let you in. But I wasn't here and neither was Christian and I'm sure he didn't give you the password to the house."He walked towards me with that intimidating look again, trying to scare me off."I am still Christian's father, Belle. The workers around the house know who I am and will definitely let me in with just one command."I nodded my head slowly at him while taking a step back to give us a safe distance."Then I'll talk to them and find out whom it was because I am also sure none of them know the password to the main house."Alexander laughed at me, moving a

Christian's POVI watched Belle's face as I showed to her the picture of one of the women. There was no expression there. She just sat and stared. Narrowing down the many list I had to just two had not been an easy task. Louisa had been very helpful cancelling the ones that lived afar and narrowing it down to ten for me.Belle looked at the picture and after a while, shook her head absentmindedly. "She's not." She replied. There was actually something in her voice that said otherwise."Are you sure, Belle? She's the most likely to be the one I am searching for."She studied again, tilted her head to the side and gave a gaze of someone who was really trying her best to recall."She's not. Your father's Jessie is really stunning."At her words, I looked at the picture, wondering what wasn't stunning in the woman i saw. "She's also very stunning, Belle." I said, shaking my head and swiping my phone to the next picture. "What about this one?" I asked her.This other Jessie was dark in

Belle's POVI stared horridly at the champagne stain on Natasha's white dress and the horrendous look on her face simultaneously. The tall red head who had barged in on us still stood face to face with Nick, wearing an angry expression on her face.Nick looked at his wife and noticed how embarrassed she was before facing the redhead whom I was sure was either an ex girlfriend or a mistress. There wasn't any surprised look on Christian's face, so definitely, the woman wasn't a stranger."What the hell, Felicity."Aha, Felicity was her name. Definitely not a stranger."You don't do that to people, how dare you?" Nick exclaimed. "That's my wife.""I'm perfectly aware that she is your wife, Nick" Felicity said to him without a look of remorse in her face. "She's the bitch you left me for, without even the decency to cut off the relationship with me."Natasha looked at her husband in disbelief. People were staring already and some made sure not to miss the opportunity of capturing everythi

Belle's POVStaring at the ceiling in my room, I wondered just how to get up and prepare for the meeting Gabrielle, Lucy and I would be having with Jessie. Something in me felt like she would run away from the city but at the same time, she didn't look like a timid woman.I got up from the bed and decided to run a quick shower, all the while thinking about my situation with Christian. Yesterday had been a weird one as I was desperately hiding from him. We hadn't seen each other since the other night where he had asked me to sit and have a drink with him but I had been too scared to. I knew it wasn't going to end well and really didn't want us acting weird towards each other.After dressing up in casual jumpsuit and parking my hair in a ponytail, I picked up my purse and walked out of the room hoping sincerely that Christian was out already.But he wasn't.He sat in the living room, staring at the television and sipping his coffee slowly. His head turned when I allighted and his eyes l

Christian's POVI tried my best to make sense of the situation I had just witnessed while staring at the three women in my life.After getting a call from Robert, my bodyguard who had followed Belle to make sure she was safe and didn't come across any accident on the road, I rushed down when he told me what they were up to."Really, Belle?" My mother exclaimed, staring at Belle with eyes wide open in combined shock and annoyance."I didn't do anything, I swear." Belle replied. "I really don't know why he is here and how he got here." I laughed at all of them. Although we were standing close to the roadside, I didn't care if we were going to be captured on camera or not."Well, I'll tell you how the hell I got here, my lovely wife." I said looking from one person to the other."Robert called me, you know Robert right?" I asked, pointing at his car parked just few blocks away from them. Their eyes followed my hand and saw whom was been spoken of immediately."I asked why he was calling

Belle's POVHis face was closer to mine and I could feel his breath on my cheeks. It was confusing what he wanted and annoying that I really wanted the desires I saw in his eyes to be true.After spending close to two months with him, I still wasn't aware what our relationship was. Was he still angry with me? Is he coming around to forgiving me? Or does he only want to act on the tension between the both of us and continue his behavior when he's gotten what he wanted.I looked at Christian again, trying desperately to read his mind but his eyes on me made it difficult to think.I loved the way his gaze usually travels from my face and lingers on my lips. It made me feel desired and desperately wanted. His eyes does the magic, making my heart beat with excitement.But things like this was not want you decide on impulse. The remaining months of my life as his wife depended on my decision this moment."Step away, Christian." I said softly to him, turning my face away and fixing my stare

Belle's POVThe kiss was soft and sensual and I felt my heart beat with excitement. He didn't force it, didn't use his tongue. It was just a touch of lips that weakened my knees and I was very grateful that I wasn't standing.He pulled back and looked into my eyes, wanting to be sure that I wanted this. I searched his face, stared at him for a moment and without thinking, without considering the consequences, I leaned in and gave him a peck again, to show consent, to let him know that I wanted this as much as he did.Christian slided his right hand behind my hair to cup my neck softly and he looked at my eyes again, carefully, before hungrily taking my lips this time around. The kiss was like a dance by experts. His tongue moved expertly inside my mouth, tangling with mine and dancing together.I moaned in my throat and as if that was the invitation he sought, the pressure on the back of my head increased and he deepened the kiss again.Yes. This is what I wanted so badly. This is wha
