Bella looked around the room, scanning each item neatly arranged in Samuel's office. Since asked to wait, she sat down and glanced around.From her eyes, Bella noticed various paintings hanging on the walls. On the desk, there were two small frames containing photos of Samuel with his family and another one of him with a woman.Bella smiled. She observed the photo of Samuel embracing the woman warmly. Upon closer inspection, it seemed like this woman was Samuel's girlfriend."It seems Dr. Samuel already has a girlfriend."Bella nodded as she continued to look around. Shortly after, she was startled by the ringing of her phone inside her bag.Quickly, Bella reached for it, checking the screen to see Kairos's name displayed there."Hello, Kairos. What's up?" Bella asked, concerned that he might be calling with something important."Is your examination process finished?"Unconsciously, Bella nodded. The woman replied, "Actually, it is. Right now, I'm waiting for Dr. Samuel who was sudden
"What about you? Have you obtained any information about Julia's whereabouts?"Since yesterday, Edward seemed anxious. As soon as he saw Kairos coming to his house this afternoon, he bombarded him with questions.Knowing that Bella had been kidnapped, Kairos took the initiative to search immediately since yesterday. He even mobilized all his men to find Julia's whereabouts."No," Kairos shook his head. "Initially, my people managed to locate where Julia's car was parked. But after further investigation, she was already gone. I think she's smart and deliberately switched vehicles to avoid being tracked. And when we checked her phone's position, Julia was no longer there.""Damn it!" Edward cursed. His jaw clenched. His expression a mix of frustration, anger, and worry. "Bella is really in danger. I'm sure Julia can be reckless."Kairos sighed repeatedly. If scrutinized, his face indicated someone preparing to get angry."From the beginning, you're the one who got Bella into trouble," a
After getting a call from Julia, Edward immediately rushed. Behind the man, Kairos was seen standing waiting."Shouldn't I just go alone?" Edward asked, making sure. He was worried about the repeated threats Julia had directed at him."Letting you go alone? Are you crazy!" Kairos exclaimed, disagreeing. Besides, he had his own calculations. "I'm worried Julia might do something reckless if she knows I'm coming with someone else, especially since you plan to bring the authorities along. For God's sake, Julia could recklessly harm Bella."Kairos sighed. This was what he didn't like about Edward. Apart from being reluctant to take risks, his thinking was also nAaron. Too cowardly and often underestimated things that clearly hadn't been tried. Pathetic!"It's precisely because we both know Julia likes to be reckless and is capable of doing crazy things that I won't let that woman act recklessly. That's why I'm considering all possibilities.""What about Bella?" Edward asked, making sure.
After hearing the news that there was a patient in critical condition, and one of them even passed away, Bella couldn't help but feel panicked. Moreover, it was clear that the nurse had previously stated that the patient who lost his life was a male. Instantly, Bella remembered Edward's figure. However, she knew that the man intended to save her life. Whether due to miscalculation or otherwise, it seemed that Julia and the man accompanying her had sniffed out Edward's plan. Because of this, they attempted to escape and eventually got involved in a fatal chase, leading to an accident. Afterward, Bella lost consciousness and found herself in the hospital. Since her condition wasn't too severe after the accident, Bella decided to follow wherever Samuel went. Taking big steps, she followed the obstetrician specialist as he moved to another emergency room. "Doctor Samuel." One of the nurses who saw Samuel entering the room called out, inviting the young doctor to come in and see. "Is
"Give birth to a child for me, and I will reward you with one million dollars."Bella was startled. Her eyes widened upon hearing the offer she had just received.Bella Stone was a young accountant recently laid off from a multinational company. Pressed for funds, especially for her mother's weekly dialysis, she sought help from a friend to find a job.Renata Venya, a renowned makeup artist and a close friend of Bella's, presented an incredibly tempting offer."Come on, Bella. Just meet Julia. She is in desperate need of someone intelligent like you. I'm sure you'll be interested in the offer she will make."Renata mentioned that Julia Estelle, a top model, was looking for a single, intelligent, and attractive woman to collaborate with her.Bella thought that Julia wanted a partner for collaboration or, at the very least, an assistant. However, after making an appointment and meeting with Julia, she was shocked by the unconventional offer and request Julia presented to her."W-what? G
"Bella, what are you doing?"Jessica looked puzzled, carefully observing her daughter, who seemed hurried and busy packing clothes and other essential items into a large suitcase.Jessica was curious and wondered where Bella was going at this late hour. Moreover, her daughter had yet to mention or hint at any plans to travel shortly."I have to move, Mom.""W-what did you say? Move?"Bella then closed and fastened her suitcase. She turned, trying to maintain a calm expression so her mother wouldn't worry. On the way home earlier, Bella thought about what excuse to give her mother. That's why she tried to stay calm. A moment later, she smiled and replied, "I got a new job today, Mom.""You already got a job? Where, dear?"Jessica was increasingly curious. But, judging from her expression, she was also happy to hear that her daughter had finally found a new job after being unemployed for a while due to being laid off by the previous company."At one of Renata's friend's companies. She i
"Did you deliberately spy on me?"Bella froze. Whatever sins she had committed in the past, on the second day of staying at Julia's residence, it seemed she had once again made a mistake.Indeed, Bella had only intended to take in the morning air while strolling around the flower garden behind the house.While passing by the swimming pool, Bella paused to observe Edward, who had just emerged from the pool shirtless. For a moment, Bella's eyes were captivated. It would be a lie to say she didn't admire the athletic and proportional appearance of Edward's body.Unfortunately, due to being too engrossed, Bella lost track of herself. Before she knew it, Edward, who had been standing by the pool, was now right in front of her."Hey!" Edward's voice sounded again. "Are you deaf?""Ah, sorry, sir," Bella muttered when she realized."I think you deliberately stalked and spied on me."Bella shook her head. She wanted to protest, but she didn't dare. How could she, who was beautiful, innocent,
Bella received extra attention from Julia daily after the embryo transfer into her womb. The woman, who worked as a professional model, even went to great lengths to pay a considerable amount for a nutrition expert.Julia intentionally did this to determine and create a meal schedule for Bella—her effort aimed to support the embryo's growth in Bella's womb so it could develop nicely."Lilia, this is the meal schedule Bella should follow for the next few days. While I'm not at home, you should prepare and pay close attention to all of Bella's needs, no matter how small.Lilia nodded in understanding. After receiving the schedule from Julia, she briefly read it and agreed to the task. After all, she was paid to assist, fulfill, and ensure that all of Bella's needs were well cared for."All right, ma'am. I'll make sure Miss Bella consumes all the food you've specified.""Good," nodded Julia. "Also, don't forget to remind Bella to take the vitamins and medications prescribed by the doctor
