***"Shit! I knew something like this would end up happening!" Denmark muttered as packed his personal stuff inside a particular bag. He watched the live video of how Nora exposed him and Bella and the latter even attested to it. Right now, he is planning to run to a safer place where he would not be found or seen by anyone. He is pretty sure that the police officers are on their way to his home, that he must act fast. His hands were shaking as he packed his clothes and some other things. He suddenly changed into a baggy trousers and top, he then put on a face cap and put on a face mask. He looked at himself in the mirror and was satisfied with his look, he would hardly be noticed and recognized by anyone."I am sorry I had to leave you behind Bella, life isn't always fair in some situations. I have watched a lot of romance novels and the one if the main characters is always sacrificing something huge for the other. Maybe you're the sacrifice this time,please stay strong and t
*** Seraphina went to check who was at the door, she had to check from the peephole, the person was a male and he looked like a delivery guy. "Did my sister order something?" Seraphina muttered as she opened the door.Before she could say a word, a gun was placed on her head, she wanted to scream but the strange man signalled for her to keep her lips shut. That minute, Seraphina's heart left its usual spot and she stiffened, no one has ever pointed a gun to her head before. She noticed that the guy wasn't the only one, he still came with the other three guys and Seraphina began shaking seriously. The kem were masked so she couldn't see what they looked like.She wished she could mind-link her sister and tell her to run. "Lead the way!" The guy whispered and Seraphina turned slowly and began leading them to the sitting room."Seraphina! Who is at the door?!" Nora yelled, having no clue of what was going on. Nora suddenly heard footsteps and she sprang up immediately.She screamed
** The next morning **Seraphina opened her eyes slowly and was exposed to the early morning rays of sunlight. She slowly sat up and realized she was lying on the floor. She suddenly felt a banging headache and groaned loudly."Fuck! How come I fell asleep on the floor? Nora couldn't even tuck me in, that's unfair!" Seraphina said still feeling sleepy. She stood up from the floor and that was when she remembered what happened last night in a rush. Her eyes widened and she rushed into the rooms and checked for Nora but she wasn't there. She checked the toilets and the kitchen but she was nowhere to be found."Nora! Big sis!" She screamed out as her heart began racing madly in fear. "Oh my goodness! Those evil guys took my sister away!" Seraphina suddenly bursted into tears.She suddenly noticed a white envelope and picked it up, the strange guys must have dropped it off there.She opened it with shaky hands and read it aloud."If Rufus wants the life of his baby and his woman to b
**Three days later~~ A burial site ** The sky was gloomy as everyone had a mournful expression on their faces. The burial ceremony of Richard Williams was just conducted and the sympathizers were beginning to leave in two's and three's.Richard's mother was crying bitterly and few women were the one holding her back so she wouldn't try to do something crazy. Rufus moved close to Richard's grave and took a deep breath, Richard's epitaph was inscripted on the top of his grave."I have nothing much to say to you but you should have just told me the reason why you hated me so much before you died. No matter how badly you treated me, I still loved you as a brother. You brought your death upon yourself because of your stupid obsession but I would never forgive you for almost taking the life of Nora. I hope you rest well in bosom of the lord.`` Rufus said and put on his dark shades before walking away from the burial site. He didn't even bother to console his mother or his father, Richard
Nora's POV“Honey, which of the halls in Holland Hotel do you think would be better for Bella's birthday celebration?” I yelled at the top of my lungs, hoping that Rufus would hear me from where the bathroom was.“The hall downstairs, it's more spacious” Rufus replied from the shower, making me grinI can't wait for Thursday. It's my best friend's birthday, and I am more excited about it than the celebrant herself. She will be so shocked when she finds out. Bella had said she didn't plan on celebrating her birthday this year because what is it celebrating the big 27 when you're single and searching? That girl's crazy, I tell you. She is just so selective, I've set her on blind dates over and over again, but not one is she interested in. She always has a reason not to like them. Anyway, I have invited some more eligible bachelors for her birthday. It has to be a birthday to remember.“How's is going?” Rufus asked immediately he came out of the bathroom. He stood behind me as he watch
Nora's pov…“Hello baby” I answered the call as I drove out of Bella's apartment. She sat beside me, in the passenger's seat, while I sat in the driver's seat.The phone was placed on speaker, so I could answer the call while driving.“I got the contract signed with them, honey!” Rufus announced.“Ahhhh!” I literally screamed in excitement when I heard the good news.“Congratulations my baby. This calls for a celebration” “Of course, honey, I'll see you at—”“I'm with Bella right now, and I'm taking her for some shopping. It's her birthday today” I cut in so that he doesn't blow the surprise party out to the celebrant.“Ohhh” My baby boo understands me so well.“That is amazing. Happy birthday, Bella” “Thank you so much, Rufus. Congratulations on your done deal” She also smiled and he appreciated her“I'll see you later, baby. Goodbye, I love you” “I love you too,” I said before ending the call. “Rufus just loves you so much” “Yes, he does” “You see why I don't want to go for ju
** The next day **Nora's pov…“Bella, can you hurry up? I can't be waiting for you all day. We are only going to the mall, not some fashion show” I gr umped. I know Bella takes her time to dress up, but it was getting too much these days. She would spend a lot of time in the bathroom, then before the mirror, then in the wardrobe. Today is just worse because she had been there all morning! And we were only going to the mall.“I'm almost done” she yelled from her room and I scoffed, “Almost done since twenty minutes ago,” I argued, and she laughed. Less than five minutes later, she stepped out wearing black trousers, and a blue crop top, her hair was tied in a ponytail and her face on makeup. I don't know how she does it that she could make herself so beautiful by herself. I won't dare take so long in dressing my face, I'll only ruin it more. I don't know what to do with the mascara or which color of lipstick to use. It's the more reason I stay natural with the excuse of natural b
Nora's POV Bella had been living with us and things has been going well, or so I thought. I had forgotten the last doctor's report at home as I head to the doctor's for an appointment. I had to go back home for it. I know I was running late, but the doctor had specifically asked me to bring it along with me today. If Rufus had not been in the office, I would have called him for help. On getting to the house, I had to just park my car outside so that it would be easy for me to leave. I walked past the gate, only to see the car Rufus had used earlier today. Did he forget something too? I wondered. As I walked into the house, I paused when I heard arguments. What were they arguing about? It was Rufus and Bella, I can't be mistaken, what happened?“And I've told you that I have it under control!” Rufus yelled, shocking me to the core. I have never heard Rufus yell like that before. He was never this angry around me. What is going on?I walked closer, only to realize that they were i
