Chapter: Chapter Twenty Five"Mom!!" Luke called out and Bella was surprised."Mom,??" Bella also called out in shock. The woman who had created such a huge shock for Bella and Luke walked up to them like she hadn't done anything. "Why do you sound so surprised?? I have waited for you to bring my daughter-in-law and grandchildren home but you didn't. That's why I had to come myself.""But you could have called. Besides..." "Besides what son???" She cut off whatever Luke was trying to say. "Don't tell me you weren't planning on bringing her home" "Uhmm..." Luke hummed while scratching the back of his head. Truthfully, he had not planned on taking his family home anytime soon. He had not even thought about it. "It's okay... I have nothing to say to you anymore. Just get out of my way so I can see my daughter in law.." His mother said and pushed him away. She looked at Bella from head to toe and then let out a bright smile. "You are everything I expected. This son of mine sure has eyes for good things. Come... C

Chapter: Chapter Twenty FourBella woke up to the brightness of the sun that was coming in through the opened curtains. She picked up her phone and looked at the time. It was already 9 am. She couldn't believe she had slept that long. She got up and memories of the night before came flooding into her head. She turned to get up and saw Christopher standing and watching her. "My God!" She exclaimed in shock. She had thought she was the only one in the room so he had not bothered to cover herself up. "You scared me. I thought you had gone to work.""How could I go to work when my Damsel is still sleeping? I have been waiting for you to wake up. And... You look very beautiful this morning." Bella felt heart crept up her whole body. She was so shy she couldn't look him in the eye. She realized she wasn't putting in clothes and tried to cover herself with blankets. "Uhmm... You... I... Good morning" She stuttered. "Morning my love..." Luke answered with a smile and walked to her on the bed. He bent down and tried to

Chapter: Chapter Twenty ThreeLuke got up the stairs and went into the master bedroom to find it empty. He had followed behind Bella thinking she had come into the room.He waited for a while and when she didn't come in, he went back out to look only to see her coming out of Olivia's room. "It's time for dinner. Let's all go down to eat." Bella said like she didn't know why Luke was also coming from their bedroom. "Thanks, Dad for the computer... I really love it." Olivia thanked his father and Olivia smiled. "An glad you like it. I had planned to give it to you tomorrow morning but Logan had to ruin the surprise." Luke said with a shake of his head when he remembered how his children had happily called Logan uncle. Luke and Bella both looked at each other he could see the teasing in Bella's eyes. 'Oh... Game on!!' He thought within himself and winked at her. She looked away immediately and he smiled and walked behind her and the children. As they all walked back down the stairs, he couldn't help himself fr

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

"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

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

His for a night; Bound for life
At twenty, she was taken to a night club for the first time. Now, at twenty six, she meets with the one man she has ever slept with. Christopher Allen. She had taken his money and ran. She always hoped to never come across him again.
Now, he appears and wants to take his daughter or they get married. Yes, she had a child after just one night. One night of reckless abandon. Her first time.
{"You make me laugh, I am here for what belongs to me and I think you know what that is," he said.
My heart dropped to my feet immediately after he said that. I know he would want his money and I hope that is what he is talking about. "What do you want, your money?" I asked hoping he will say yes.
"You are very funny... I want what belongs to me and you know very well what that is, yes, you took my money but, that's not what I am talking about... I WANT MY DAUGHTER!" }
He had come demanding and she had no choice. She either agrees to be his wife or never sees her beloved daughter again.
That was what bound her to him for life. A night had led to being his forever.

Chapter: Chapter Hundred Two months later..."Sis!!!""Gosh!! Not again! Must he always come here??'' Christopher groaned. Earning a laugh from Rose. "Don't laugh at me. He is so lucky he is your brother." He added as Daniel came into view. "What's up, sis, and brother-in-law..." Daniel greeted and sat opposite Rose and Christopher."What are you doing here? Don't you have a house? You come here almost every day." Christopher sighed deeply before saying."I came here to see my sister, and of course my cute niece. Do you have a problem with that?" Daniel rolled his eyes and said."Go and get your own wife. Leave my wife alone. You come here every time and ruin our time alone. Stop it!" Christopher threw him a look and said. "Say whatever you want. I don't care." Daniel said and crossed his arms over his chest."Get...""You both behave like babies all the time." Rose finally cut in with a laugh. "Bro, do you find joy in pissing my husband off?" She asked Daniel who had a smug smile on his face."You should

Christopher and Rose discussed at length and decided it's high time their fathers pay for all their crimes. Christopher took it upon himself to unite Rose and her mother. Her brother was a constant headache to him. They would always argue over anything that had to do with Rose. Uzo was always enjoying their fights. He had seen someone who would stand up to Christopher without backing down and that was something he would always laugh about. After spending two weeks

Chapter: Chapter Ninety Eight When Christopher got into the room where Ene was, she was sleeping. "Wake her up!" He ordered the doctor who had followed him in. "Yes sir!" He was about to go rouse her awake when Uzo stopped him. "Not like that!" He picked up a bucket of ice-cold water that someone had knowingly brought over and poured it over the sleeping Ene. The coldness jolted her awake and when she saw Christopher sitting on a chair in front of her, she began to cry. "I knew you would come for me. I knew you wouldn't let them do anything to me. You love me... Don't you??" She asked between sobs. Christopher, Uzo, and every other person on the lookout looked at her like she was mad. "What the hell is the mad woman ranting?" Uzo asked with a from after a few seconds of surprise. "Shut up your stupid mouth.!!! Don't worry... I will make you pay when Christopher makes me the madam. Just wait and watch!" She replied Uzo threatenly. "So, you poisoned my wife because you think I love you?"

Chapter: Chapter Ninety sevenSome hours later... Rose was left alone in the hospital room with Christopher. Princess had been taken home by Mrs. Rita and Ada. Uzo also went along with them. "What do I do? What do you think I should do?" She asked Christopher with a hint of worry and sadness in her voice. "Don't think about it yet my love. You don't have to make a decision yet. Just give yourself sometime to digest it. I know you will eventually come to the right decision." Christopher said while holding onto her hands. "I can't help it. I just can't help it. All my life... I thought she had died or something. I used to tell myself that she probably died and that's why she had never come looking for me. And now?" Rose said with a shake of her head and in a shaky voice. "Hey, it's all going to be fine. You don't need to make a decision yet. And if you don't want to see her, you just have to say the words And i will make them leave. You have me, our daughter, and others who care about you. Okay..." Christopher s

Chapter: Chapter Ninety SixAlmost everyone in the room had shock written on their faces except Christopher and Uzo. They just watched calmly. None of them expected such a reaction from the person who was always very quiet. "You all should stop looking at me like that. She deserves to die!! She ruined everything. She took everything that was supposed to be mine.!!" Ene shouted angrily. Blessing who had already eaten a spoon of the poisoned food started to panic. "Please... Someone should save me!!! I ate the food! Please!!!" She shouted."Don't worry. Nothing will happen to you. That food is fine. There is nothing in it." Uzo answered her. When he was going back home, he stopped by a restaurant and bought the exact food that Rose was eating before she started reacting. The first thing he did when he got to Christopher's house was to rush into the kitchen making sure that the maids didn't see him. He took the food he bought and hid the one that was at home.Blessing breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that

Chapter: Chapter Ninety Five"Why are you crying? It doesn't suit you. You look ugly with tears on your face.!" Rose who had just woken up said with a smile on her face. When Christopher heard her voice, he was shocked and relieved. He raised his head and looked at her. She was smiling tiredly at him. "Thank God you are awake. What would I have done if you had died?" He asked with a smile while tears of relief were still running down his cheeks."Hey, stop it. Who is dying? Me? I still have many years to spend on this earth. I haven't seen Princess grow up and I still haven't given birth to twins neither have I given birth to a boy!! It would take more than a little stomach pain to kill me.!" Rose said to assure him and she was serious about it. She wasn't planning to die when she had not even enjoyed her marriage. "Yes, that's true. You still have a lot of things to do. A lot of things so none of us can die now. I love you, Rose! I love you so much. It's my fault for not being cautious enough! I should hav

Chapter: FiveWe have things to discuss. Very important things!" He said with the raise of his eyebrows and a small smile on his lips.Mercury stayed back and every other person left the room. When it was left with just them, the tension became obvious. Mercury couldn't help stealing glances at him. She had to admit that he looked very handsome just sitting there. "Mr. Standford, why have you asked me to stay back?" Mercury pulled herself together and asked after seeing that Liam wasn't ready to say anything."So... Mercury is your name. I can see you have done well for yourself." He said and Mercury could hear the mockery in his tone. "I don't understand you,"Liam wasn't someone who would take his time to remember someone who was not important to him. But, he couldn't forget the girl who was sitting before him. She could be said to be the only woman who had made him lose control and it wasn't something he was proud of.Three years ago, she looked to be in her late teens but seeing her now, she

His looks are almost identical to his father's except for his eyes. He had her almost grey colored eyes.She walked up to him and carried him from where he was. "You dare to tease your mommy!? Prepare to be dealt with." She said and started tickling him."No!!! Hahaha" "That's enough, don't make him laugh till he starts crying." Mercury's mother said as she walked out of the kitchen holding onto a spatula. "Grandma save me!!" He shouted and squeezed out of his mother's embrace. Then ran to his grandmother.

Chapter: Contract Marriage with the cold billionaire 3Liam Standford. He had come to Rosehill for a business deal. After the encounter the night before, he had thought maybe he was wrong about the girl he slept with in his car. He felt there was something different about her because in all his thirty-two years, he had never succumbed to temptation that easily. He had always prided himself on his self-control and strong will. He sent his people to find out things about her but was disappointed when the check he dropped in her bag was cashed out the next day. After seeing that, he called his people back and told them to forget about it. He concluded she was just another gold digger who would do anything to climb into his bed. He left the next morning and had returned back to Rosewood City. He had finalised the deal he came for and felt there was no reason to stay back in a small town like Rosehill. The incident of that night was like a dream to him. Maybe somehow, he had wished that she was different from all other women who had appear

She was standing by the side of the road when his car sped past her. Mercury looked on till the car disappeared from her sight before she retracted her gaze. Tears rolled down her cheeks and she hurried to clean them with the back of her hand. She flagged down a cab and got in. On a normal day, she would never take a cab home. The fare was too expensive and she felt it was a waste. She just sat in the cab with her eyes closed all the way home.On getting home, she saw her mother waiting for her outside the door. This has always been the routine. One person is always waiting for her whenever she gets back home. "Mom!..." She called and rushed to embrace her mother. "You worked late again. Can't you try to get off work earlier?" Her mother asked worriedly. "I had to work overtime again today. I promise it won't happen again." Mercury said to her mot

She is already in her fifties but took great care of herself. The man beside her looked too good as well. She has seen them both in various newspapers and magazines but seeing them in real life felt different. She felt pressured and started to get nervous again but the man beside her held onto her palm and the warmth from his hand relaxed her a little. She saw Shayla rush to the woman with a bright smile on her face and call out. "Mom!! It's good that you have arrived. Come this way." She said and led her to the table. More chairs had been added to the table which originally had just four seats. The newcomers took their seats and the woman looked at Ivy with disgust before speaking. "Chris!
