Chapter Fifty-eight
Time was moving slower than ever. Belle was looking at the screen for a long time now, only blinking when she felt a sting after staring at the computer for a long time.
She pressed the refresh button and rested her back. Still keeping her eyes locked on the laptop screen. Anytime now, that email might arrive and she’ll finally know if she’s accepted at the job that she applied for or not.She enjoyed being a teacher, but it wasn’t her calling. Deep inside, she knew there was a different path out there for her. She was okay. She was surviving. The day would start like how it did the day before, and the day before that. It would end the same way. From time to time, she’d sit by herself and with that thought of why there’s a part of her that feels… empty.The only way to find that piece of herself was taking a risk, even when there was an internal struggle and screaming inside her head that she wasn't enough. Belle thought her resume wasn’t that impressive,Related chapters

First day at her job. She hasn’t even officially started yet, and one of the most important secrets that she would like to keep a secret is already known. Belle was too stunned to react to this random stranger she didn't recognize.“Do we know each other?”“I know you.”“I don’t know you,” Belle replied. She wanted to sound convincing and not the least bothered. Even to her own ears, she didn’t sound like it. She wasn’t doing anything wrong, but she didn’t want to experience the possible effects of the other employee knowing that she’s married to Nikolai.The guy simply nodded. Belle doesn’t know if she should be relieved that he didn’t look interested. Even then, what’s the point of the conversation they are having? He could have simply pretended he doesn’t know her and he doesn’t care. Yet, he stirred the pot with unclear intentions.“You don’t have to worry. I usually mind my own business. It was simply… interesting. Finding you here when you can be somewhere else, but as I said, I

The smile that she forced to put on her face dropped.This wasn’t even the first time this happened to her in this lifetime. All she wanted was something secured and instead, what she got were two marriages with foundation built on anything but love. It was a bitter truth to swallow that it was easier to let Jack go, but with Nikolai, it was a different story.Belle had a disinterested look on her face, with eyes locked on Evelyn. Her hand was itching the mouth that had the same shade of lipstick on Nikolai’s collar. Every wife who felt wronged would love to take matter into their own hands and Belle is no different. Just not right now.“Isobelle.” Nikolai was surprised. If he’s really cheating, he’d easily pass as a great actor. No sign of guilt or remorse there. “Liam, you’re here.”“We wanted to surprise you.”“Yes. We brought food, Daddy.” The clueless child repeated.For Liam’s sake, Belle puts on her happy mask again, even

“What do you mean?” “Are you interested now?” “With you? No way.” It was the first time that Belle saw Leo laugh sincerely. What she said was indeed stupid, so, who is she to blame him… but really? Leo laughing? “Do you think I’m flirting with you?” “Gosh, I hope not.” She flinched as she carelessly sipped the hot coffee and got her tongue burnt. “What if I am?” She proudly showed her ring on her hand. “You know I’m married. You know who I’m married to. Even if I don’t have the kindest first impression of you, I hope that you are not that kind of ass.” Leo started to drink his coffee. Because he was silent for once, Belle had the chance to examine him. He could easily pass as a model. His well-defined curls even looked cooler when wet. His almond-shaped eyes and thin lips suited his pale skin. “Let me know if you’re done checking me out.” Belle was in disbelief. She had to place the coffee back on the table, fearing that she might cause a scene and throw it to the

“I’m already yours.” “How true could that be?” she asked, unable to brush away the memory of him rejecting her. What he said was one of the sweetest words she had ever heard and she will have it engraved in her heart forever. But then, these sweet words are as memorable as hurtful actions. “Sometimes… I feel like you are, and then the next day, you aren’t anymore.” Her voice was barely audible, but with Nikolai’s face so close to her, he heard every word that she said. “I can feel it, Nikolai. You are haunted by the past that I know, but couldn’t remember.” “I’m ready to put the past behind and move on. I’ve moved on.” “Maybe this is a good thing that you’re here.” Belle pointed at the extra chair in front of the vanity mirror. “We can’t have this conversation over and over again. I need clear lines.” Slightly distracted from the glimpse of Nikolai’s chest from the unbuttoned part of his shirt
The Wife's Return Chapter Sixty-three
The corner of Belle's lips. She enjoyed the anticipation as Nikolai was unbuttoning his shirt.Trying to look oblivious to his presence, Belle faced her reflection in front of the mirror. Nikolai was standing near, all attention on her.“Do you mind if I sleep here tonight?”“I need to shower.” She stood up. “And you… you can do whatever you want.” The cold water from the shower touched her skin. Her hand wandered around her body, making sure every part of her was clean. She could feel her hand beating from her chest. She squeezed one of her breasts lightly, wishing it was Nikolai's hand instead of hers.Nikolai walked in and she was not the least surprised. She was expecting his presence. If anything, she wished he had done it sooner.Her entire body was drenched in water. Belle squinted her eyes to see Nikolai’s nakedness. He was stroking his length while admiring her from a distance.‘What is taking him so long to come here?’ She sighed.Belle continued to fondle her breasts. Lett

Nikolai opened his mouth but before he could say a word, she stopped him by covering his lips with hers.“Don't say a word,” Belle pleaded. She could already feel him hardening while he was still inside her. “If you want to tell me something, don't say it yet. Let's not ruin this moment.”She has no idea what his response could be. To be honest, she'd rather not have a clue. If he tells her she loves him, she would end up not believing him. If he tells her otherwise, it would only hurt him. There was no need to rush things. Her confession was not even a question that needs an answer. It felt like the right moment to say it, and so she did with no expectations.Nikolai must have gotten the clue. Switching their positions with him kneeling in front of her, he spread her leg wide as she obliged.“I'm yours, Isobelle.” He entered her slowly. He looked at his hardness slowly disappearing as he buried himself inside of her. “All yours.”
The Wife's Return Chapter Sixty-five
“Woah.” Belle was about to open her car when Jessica appeared out of nowhere.“I’ll drive you, Miss.”‘I forgot about you,’ she thought. That sounded rude in her head so, she settled with not letting her intrusive thoughts win and kept her silence.“You’re still…” she stalled as she thought of a better way to ask if this woman is still working. She has not seen her for a couple of days and Belle genuinely thought that she lost her job because being her personal assistant, bodyguard, or whatever she was supposed to be was a waste of money. “You’re still working. I see.”Jessica gracefully extended her arm, guiding, or rather directing Belle to go the other way and ride the passenger’s seat.“You’re seriously coming with me?”“For me to do my job, miss, I would have to stay near you. Close proximity at all times.”That was true, and that was also too much. There was really no point in having an assistant when she’s only starting her job. It’s not even a job that requires security, for g

Now that Jessica mentioned about Nikolai’s father, it has dawned on him that she has never seen that man before. He knew about him, but even at the party, he has never shown his face.Oliver Laurent. Aside from his name and the openly known fact that he owns an empire of business, specifically in Aeronotics and Energy, there was little to know about him.“What-”“Don’t ask questions about him or even try to know. He’s a very private man and he would much prefer to remain to be that way,” Jessica warned her. “Just trust me, Belle. And don’t worry. I won’t be coming with you to work. I’ll stay in a close distance, but far enough so I wouldn’t be seen. I just have to see your co-worker’s faces… for security purpose.”No one poses a threat in her current workplace. She has seen and talked to everyone. Well, there’s Leo who, compared to everyone, has the most potential to be a villain. Even he doesn’t seem to be that dangerous.Or is he? He’s not so sure anymore.As expected, she was early
