Chapter: Chapter Twenty TwoFive days after Bella went to the company to disrupt the plans of her sister and stepmother, they had been working endlessly to get the company back in order and to establish her control. Luke had been working with her all through and after Everything, they decided to put Logan in charge. They were at home when Logan barged in. Oliver and Olivia had resumed school and had just gotten back then Logan rushed in. "What did you say to me over the phone?" He asked bearly containing his anger. "You heard me clearly so why do I have to repeat myself?" Luke said resting his arm on the chair. "I won't!! I won't do it!!! I don't want to be tied to an office chair. I love my freedom. Don't sentence me to such a torture. I beg of you." He said managing to contain his anger."Mom, Dad... Since he said he can't do it then we also can't call him uncle." Oliver suddenly spoke up. Logan looked at Oliver in shock!! He looked between both children and looked at Bella and Luke. "Did I just hear Olive

Chapter: Chapter Twenty one "You slut!!!" They all turned to see Lily rushing towards them in anger. She was blocked by the bodyguards before she could even get a few feet close to Bella. "You are not supposed to be alive!! Get the hell out of my life!!" She cried "Oh, dear elder sister... Why are you acting like a mad person? Or? Are you really mad?" Bella mocked and covered her mouth like she was shocked at that realization. "Or... Are you like this because you finally realize you pushed me away with nothing and now, I have everything you and your mother have always wanted? Is that it?" She added while looking around."Bella!! Why can't you just leave my life alone!! You stoke dad from me!! You stole everything and now... You still have the guts to walk in here together with my fiancee and claim he is your husband?!! Have you gone mad!!? Why must you take everything away from me!?" She cried out with tears running down her cheeks. "Oh, my dear Lily... Stop being a crybaby and grow up. He was your fiancee

Chapter: Chapter Twenty"That's right... Stepmother..." Bella answered with a smirk then looked at Lily and said "And... Sister???""What?! How?... How is this possible? You are not supposed to be here.!!" May said with her voice cracking and shaking her head slowly. Every other shareholder was confused as to what was happening. They knew who the men that had walked in were but the lady they didn't know. But, May had called her Isabella. Could she be the same person they were all thinking? They all looked at themselves and it was obvious, that they were all thinking the same thing. 'isn't she supposed to be dead?' and more importantly. Why was she here with Luke Simone and his right-hand man, Logan? How is it possible? Most of them had even been convinced that Lily and Luke were engaged and soon to be married. "Can someone please explain what is going on here? How is it possible that someone who is supposed to be dead is standing here?" The only woman among the shareholders spoke with a smirk playing on he

And I would also love to know your thoughts. From this chapter onwards, I will nickname Olivia and Oliver. Most times, I'll call them... Olive for Oliver and lives for Olivia. If you don't like it then y'all can tell me. Thanks.♥️♥️)On the other hand, May, the stepmother to Bella and Lily her daughter was already celebrating their victory. It had taken years of scheming to get to where they were now. They had gotten a tip from someone some days ago that Chris had gone to look for Bella and they were planning on coming back to ruin their plan of taking the company. It wasn't going to happen. They would never allow it to happen and that's why they had moved the meeting to two days earlier. They had planned the meeting for 7 am but for some reasons best known to the shareholders, the meeting had been moved to 9 am. Mo

Chapter: Chapter EighteenThe next morning...Bella and Luke woke up very early and Luke surprised Bella and the kids by making them breakfast himself. The shareholder's meeting was to start by 7 am but he had done some things to push the meeting to 9 am. while Bella was having her bath. He rushed to the kid's room and woke them up.They had their first family breakfast together that morning and Luke told Olivia and Oliver that, they'll probably be out the whole day. "Your mom and I have something we need to do and we'll be leaving in a while. I hope you two won't mind staying by yourselves today.""We are not babies who need constant monitoring, besides... I already know where you both are going and what you are doing " Oliver spoke. "What? I mean, how do you know what we are doing?" Luke asked. He was obviously confused. He looked at Bella who shrugged her shoulders meaning, she didn't tell them."We have our ways. Just do what you need to do and we'll take care of ourselves." Olivia assured with a giggle.

Chapter: Chapter seventeenNight time... By the time the plane landed, it was already night. Bella had thought they would be landing in the airport, expecting to see many people when they arrived but, it wasn't like that. "Are we not in an airport?""Yes, we are. But, this belongs to me. We are keeping things quiet for now. They must not know about you and the kids just yet." Luke explained to her. "Daddy... When are we arriving, am so famished." Olivia voiced out. "Don't worry, my princess. We'll arrive home soon and you'll get to eat whatever you want. Okay?" Luke replied to her."I still don't understand. You mean, you own this airport?" Bella asked with shock written all over her face. Luke looked at her fondly and replied. "Yes. And now, it belongs to you as well. This one is not known to the public that's why I had the pilot land here. You shouldn't be so surprised. This is just the tip of the iceberg."Bella looked around and nodded her head. It's really very good to have so much money. Bells thought

Chapter: chapter EightAfter hugging for a while, Ivy finally slept off in his arms. Chris had intended to take her to another place but since she was already sleeping, he just ordered the driver to take them home. Immediately the car stopped moving. Ivy woke up. "Where are we?" She asked drowsily. "Home." He simply replied and got out of the car. He opened the car door for her and stretched out his hand to her."Am not going inside. Just take me to my place." Ivy said. She didn't even take her time to look at the house when she rushed out in the morning but from the little she could see, she knew the house was magnificent."Then you leave me no choice.""Hm..." She was about to ask what he meant when he leaned into the car and carried her out. "Put me down!" She said while struggling to be out down."I'd advise you to stop struggling. You might be putting the workers in trouble. If they should as much as see your bare legs, I'll pull their eyes out." He warned her and that worked. She shut her mouth a

Chapter: Chapter Seven"The hell?!" Chris groaned. He knew that voice. He turned his face to look and his suspicions were confirmed. "This thing is your daughter?" He asked the state Secretary Mr Lane. "Yes. This is my darling daughter." Mr. Lane said beaming. "Shyla Lane." He introduced.Shyla walked in with confidence but when she saw another woman sitting beside Chris, her smile disappeared. She had begged her father to set this meeting. If Chris wouldn't accept her because she was working as a secretary under him then, she needed to come out as who she really was. She wasn't some low-life who he would treat like the way they did in the morning. She was thrown out like a piece of dirt. "We meet again boss, or should I just call you Chris?" She said confidently extending her hand for a handshake. "Is this why you decided to waste my time?" Chris asked Mr. Lane who was looking at his daughter lovingly. "Yes. She came back from out of the country three months ago and had decided to keep a very low profi

Chapter: Chapter SixIvy spent the rest of the morning doing nothing. Today was a Saturday and she had no class. The twins had taken their precious time to find her an outfit for tonight. They'd even gone as far as helping her wash her hair. It was already 5 pm and she will start getting dressed any moment now. She had been on edge as well. Yesterday, she had been drunk. Alcohol had pushed her into making a move while today will be different. She would be very sober. She had promised herself that she would not take even a sip of alcohol today.She was lost in her thoughts when Gianna dropped a box on the table in front of her. "For you...""What this?" Ivy asked with a raise of her eyebrow. "A very handsome young man brought it over. Apparently, your boyfriend sent it." Gemma said and flopped down beside Ivy.Ivy opened the wrapped box with care and what she found inside amazed her. In it was a gown. When they carefully took it out, they realized it was from the famous cloth brand Elites. Their pieces c

Chapter: Chapter FiveIt had taken every ounce of self-control Chris could mutter for him not to leave his office and rush over to Ivy's house to take her away. He was regretting his decision. He should have told her he was coming to pick her up by four instead of seven pm. Now, he only wished time could be faster. "That is all sir, sir?" Chris heard a voice saying faintly and then, he felt a hand massaging his shoulder."What the hell!!" He jumped at the sudden touch. What the fuck? He looked at who had the nerves to touch him and it was none other than his secretary. "Are you out of your mind?" He asked her angrily."I have been calling your name for a while now but you didn't Answer me and I thought you were sleeping because you were tired. I then decided to massage you a little." She said and made to touch him. He jerked away from her touch and said. "What's your name again?" "Shyla... That's my name." She answered with a coy smile."Okay. Get out and clear your table. You are fired!" Chris said to

Chapter: Chapter Four"You could become my wife if you wish. How about that?" Chris asked while staring into her eyes. Ivy was left speechless. Is there something wrong with his head? Was this the man she was always crushing on? "I never said that." She answered. "If I want to become your wife, will you get married to me?" She asked as an afterthought."Yes. Well go to the registry and get married at once." He said like it was the most normal thing in the world. "We could go right now." He added and made to turn away."Wait, Mr. Chris Evans! What the hell is wrong with you?" She screamed at him."Why? You don't want to get married today? Will tomorrow be better?" He asked. He knew she wasn't buying the idea but he wanted her and he was going to get her even if it meant marrying her. That will even be better. He smirked as he ran the thought of her as his wife in his mind. "By the way, don't call me Mr. You should call me Chris." He added."Chris or whatever. I will not get married to you or Anyone else. I

Chapter: Chapter Three "Holy hell!!""This must be my lucky day!!" The twins exclaimed at once. Ivy was frozen to the spot. It was none other than Chris fucking Evans. He was standing outside their door. Ivy couldn't help swallowing anything. He looked like a fine sculpture standing there. What was he even doing at her house? She didn't want to believe he was here for her."I take it that you all know why am here?" They heard him say and that pulled them out of their trance. Lincoln moved out of the way and ushered him inside "Please come in." While the twins rushed to pick up their scattered bags and shoes. Chris felt like snapping the head of the guy who had opened the door. He knows who he is. He is Ivy's childhood friend. According to the information he had gotten, she lived with two girls who are twins and from Australia. Why then is he in their house so early in the morning? He was still contemplating on how to kill him when he saw the person he came for. Ivy Blaze. She was still putting on his c
