This morning, whether she liked it or not, Bella had to participate in the usual breakfast ritual. Yet, she hated having to witness the intimate scenes Julia seemed to purposely show her.For heaven's sake, Bella vowed to find time to talk seriously to Edward. Regardless, she had to ensure what the future of their previously established relationship would be. Moreover, Edward had promised to marry her soon.Luckily, today, luck was on Bella's side. For whatever reason, Julia left for work on her own and earlier than Edward.Making sure Julia was gone, Bella hurried to her room. She waited for a moment until she finally caught sight of Edward passing by her room. Bella quickly went out and pulled him into her room."Bella."Edward was surprised. Blinking, he looked at Bella, who was holding his hands tightly."What's wrong?" Edward asked, making sure."We need to talk, Edward."Edward shook his head. He held onto Bella's arms tightly."Sorry, I'm really busy right now. I have to get re

Bella fell silent. Turning, she gazed sharply at Clara. How could someone she had trusted the most turn out to be a thorn in her side?Bella had even considered Clara as her own sister. Whatever it was, she shared it, she poured her heart out without hiding anything. Now, knowing that Clara was Julia's confidante, it hurt deeply."Why have you never suspected why I always show up unexpectedly when you and Edward are together?" Julia asked. The woman smiled with great satisfaction. "I suddenly came home when Edward was sound asleep in your room. I also disrupted your togetherness when attending the party at Kairos's house. And most recently, I disturbed the intimacy between you and Edward while enjoying your love together. Do you think I just stumbled upon these things, Bella?"Julia laughed loudly and with great satisfaction. Her face was clearly mocking, as if Bella were the dumbest woman alive. Or perhaps Bella had been foolish all along?"Why are you doing this to me, Clara?" Bella

"How? Have you ensured that Mrs. Jessica's condition is safe, right? Keep watch. Don't let anyone dare to touch her. Otherwise, I will finish you all!"Kairos gave the order. In front of him, there was Samuel sitting on the sofa. The young doctor intentionally came to Kairos's house. And now he chose to wait for his cousin who was busy receiving news and giving orders to take care and watch over Bella's mother to keep her safe and undisturbed by anyone.As someone with power, Kairos certainly could do that. Let alone just taking care of Bella's mother, destroying Julia in an instant seemed feasible to Kairos."So, is Bella's mother okay?"Samuel asked to make sure. He was concerned after hearing what was happening to Bella. Samuel thought everything was fine. Who knows if the woman's condition was critical or even endangered her life."Julia has gone too far, Sam. How dare she try to harm Bella. She even attempted to abort the baby in Bella's womb. Just imagine, Julia forced Bella to

Kairos reassures Bella that her mother is safe and being protected by his men to prevent any harm. Bella feels relieved and grateful for Kairos's help. She asks if she can contact her mother immediately."Of course, Bella. I never restrict or forbid you from contacting your mother. You can even meet her if you want. I can escort you and accompany you. Or do you want me to bring your mother here?"Bella shakes her head, declining Kairos's offer. Even though Kairos is serious about his offer, Bella feels pity seeing her visibly worried and fearful. Perhaps meeting her mother directly could ease her worries."No... it's not necessary, Kairos. I can't meet my mother directly."Kairos furrows his brows, confused."Why not?"Bella takes a moment to inhale deeply before answering his question to satisfy Kairos's curiosity."My mother would be shocked or maybe hurt if she sees me pregnant like this. She thinks I'm working far away, so it's not possible to meet directly."Kairos nods understan

"For a God Shake, Kairos. Where did you come from?"This evening, after work, Kairos invited Edward and Samuel to meet at one of their favorite coffee shops. They relaxed, chatted, and caught up, especially since Kairos knew Edward had been looking for him lately."I told you I went to Italy. Why are you still searching?" Kairos responded casually to Edward's words."What I really need is your help," Edward said.Kairos laughed. He responded casually to Edward's statement. "What help do you need? Do you want to marry Bella?"Kairos deliberately provoked, just wanting to know what Edward would tell him next."No, Kairos. It seems I won't be able to marry Bella," Edward replied.Kairos was startled. "Why? Are you afraid of Julia?"Edward laughed bitterly. "Julia even knows about the affair Bella and I had. Julia is furious and threatens to torment Bella if I insist on leaving, let alone divorcing her.""And you chose to go back to Julia and let Bella go?" Kairos asked incredulously.Edw
