CHAPTER 45NICOLE *****FLASHBACK******“Chris called me earlier today.” Aunty Alice spoke, pouring me a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice.I had paid her a visit in the new apartment Chris got her. A couple of days after he told me he wanted me to bear him children and potentially, become life partners.I still did not have my head wrapped around the whole proposal as it was too sudden and I didn’t know if he truly meant it or it was just a trick for me to give him a child and after the contract expires, he may change his mind and dump me.“He did? What did he call you for?” I asked her.She didn’t answer me immediately. She went inside the kitchen and brought some biscuits and peanuts. She put them on the coffee table in front of me and she sat down beside me.“Bella, I think you should accept his proposal. He has told me everything surrounding your relationship. I’m no expert in love. I’ve never even been married but one thing I know for certain is, if a man as powerful and a
CHAPTER 46CHRIS“You just need to tell us who’s the source and we’ll let you go.” Detective Colin queried Drew, the supposed Herald who sent the boys to burn my warehouse down.After two of them were found out, he went into hiding but like a pig destined for the slaughter, he couldn’t escape his capture.“I’m not saying a damn thing. Charge me to court already.” He barked at Detective Colin “Are you so eager to spend the rest of your life behind bars?” Colin questioned again.Drew started laughing in an hysterical manner causing the detective to lose it and punch him in the stomach.“My lawyer will hear that you hit me.” Drew said before spitting on Detective Colin’s shoes.Colin was ready to have another go at him but his colleague restrained him inside and took him outside to cool off.“I know you’re not scared of prison, they could even save you in court but what about death? A slow and painful one.” I asked Drew when it was just the two of us left alone.“You can’t do shit to me
CHAPTER 47NICOLE“What is it you have to tell me? Are you pregnant?” Chris asked. His face lit up a little.I just laughed at his question. Weren’t we just at the doctor’s a couple of days ago?“So you would lose your cool if I told you I was pregnant?”“Woman, I’d lose everything.” He replied.“I’m not. Not yet. But what I want to tell you is equally important. Aunt Alice would be in a better position to explain, let me call her, she’s in my office.”In a few minutes, Aunt Alice joined us and Chris asked for us to go sit in the lounge area.I sat down beside Chris and Aunty Alice sat down opposite us.“Chris, before Bella was born, my brother had another child. A girl. But because we were young then. He gave her up for adoption.” Aunt Alice said and paused to gauge Chris’s reaction.“Years after Bella was born, we tried to find her but we couldn’t until recently, I found out who she was.”“That’s great news, where is he now? Do you need my help reaching her or something?” Chris aske
CHAPTER 48CHRISWhen Bella told me she was Nicole’s sister, I didn’t know how to feel. I just wanted to comfort her that instant. I can’t imagine the level of grief she would be going through.Finding out you have a relative only when they are dead and a sister for that matter.I have to admit that it is a little weird how somehow, something always involves her and the Reyes’s. The fact that she was once a mistress to her sister’s husband irked me but I’ve agreed to let the past be the past. I love who she is now and even more who she will become in future.My duty is to stand by her and guide her in any way that I can. She’s a rare one and I plan to cherish her. Getting a wife like her and my inheritance fund as well is the win of the century.It makes sense now why she had such a flare for business , the same blood flows in her veins that flowed in Nicole’s.When we got home that night, the mood was a little too heavy. I sent all my maids and the chef to their quarters. We had alr
CHAPTER 49CHRISAre you sure about this Bella?” I asked. “Yes, I am. I want your cock in my ass.” “You want me to fuck you in the ass?” I said. “Yes, please fuck me in my ass,” she replied. “You sure? I never did that before.”“Me neither but I want to feel you in my ass. It’s one of my fantasies.” She reached inside the bedside drawer and grabbed the jar of lube. She slathered it all over my dick from the balls to the tip. Then she slipped her finger into herself a couple of times for good measure. She grabbed a pillow and placed it beneath her, then spread her legs high and wide, and said, “Give it to me.”I grabbed my penis and placed the tip up against her rim. I was excited and swollen, big and hard. I started to push it in. Our eyes were locked. “Go easy on me, big boy,” she said.I paused. “Tell me what you want me to do.”“You know what to do.”“I don’t want to hurt you.”“You won’t hurt me. Let’s just take our time. I want to feel every inch of you.”I could feel her g
CHAPTER 50NICOLEAs we drove through the first gate of the prison facility where Amelia was being held, I felt a sudden shiver run down my spine.After we parked our cars, Chris asked our bodyguards to stay put, as just the two of us were going in to see Amelia.Chris had earlier informed the prison staff of our visit and that he would like to talk to Amelia in a private room.Once we got there, we were assigned a guard to lead us around.As we walked through the inner metal gates, the clang of their closure echoed in my ears. Tall concrete walls loomed above, casting shadows that seemed to swallow the sunlight. The guard led us down a narrow pathway lined with barbed wire, the atmosphere was tense, with an undercurrent of caution.Inside, the prison was a world of its own. The corridors were regimented, the sound of footsteps echoing off the cold, hard surfaces. The occasional clatter of voices drifted from cells, a stark reminder of the human lives contained within these walls.We
CHAPTER 51CHRISWho the hell is this woman that I married? Beautiful, smart, great business acumen and now a makeshift cop?She just keeps giving me reasons to love her more every single day. I never would have been able to crack Amelia’s wall like she just did. I’m far too temperamental and impatient for such things.“She has something to say baby, let’s listen to her.” Bella said and sat back down. I also grabbed my seat and sat down, waiting for Amelia to spill.“If I do this, promise me you’ll keep to your word.” Amelia said.“I will.” Bella replied.“Not you, you can’t do shit for me.” Amelia replied.I squinted my eyes at her. ‘Wrong move Amelia, that’s the only person that can make me keep my word.’ I said in my head.“I will. Now quit stalling, some of us have a life outside these walls.” I answered her bluntly.“Mr Perry.” Amelia called, and the guard standing by the door came to her, she whispered something to him and the guard left.A few minutes later, the guard returne
CHAPTER 52NICOLEThe news of Amelia’s death brought a wave of shock over me. If her brother was really doing this for her, then why kill her? Something is aloof here.“Chris, what do we do?” I asked him as I handed him back his phone.“Nothing. We go home and think this through.” He replied.Later that night at dinner, I started to try and put some pieces of this puzzle together.“Could it be the guard? I mean he was there the whole time.” I asked Chris.“Could be. Or maybe she’s just such a bitch and offended someone in there. Would her own brother have her murdered?” Chris simply said and continued his meal.“No, I don’t think so.” I replied.We continued our meal in silence but my mind kept going over the possibility that our visit may have led to her death.Why else did the person supposed to collect the briefcase not show up? Unless they knew we were into them. Besides me, Chris, the guard, Amelia, Ben and the head detective, no one else knew exactly what we there for. Someone m
