Bella's Pov I woke up to pressure on my face. For a moment, I felt like I was suffocating. Anyone would normally wake up to the warm sunlight shining down on them, but for me it was Lissa’s foot in my face. “Lissa, what the hell? Get your foot out of my face,” I said, getting annoyed. “What?” she said groggily. “You foot is in my face,” I repeated, while lifting her foot off my face. She rolled and fell off the bed. “I will never sleep with you again. You sleep really bad,” I said. “Probably next time it's your foot in my mouth,” I added. She snapped up as if the fall jolted her out of her sleep completely, “I'm sorry, I know I sleep badly but I'm not use to sharing beds.”“Hold on this is our se and time sleeping beside each other. You didn't sleep badly last time,” I looked at her curiously. “That's because I woke up first,” she said, folding her lips to suppress a laughing outburst.“What happened when you woke up first?” I asked, curiously. “Well…, I prefer to let that stay

Gabriel’s Pov “No, they don't have a time that they would return and they didn't sound worried” He said, holding his head down. “They just sounded cautious on why you wanted information on them,” he added.“Well that is expected, I guess I need to contact her myself to find out,” I said.“Do you want her number?”“Do you have it?” I questioned.“Yes.”“Then why the hell didn't you tell me that?” I scolded. “You have me here thinking of how I would reach out to her,” I added.“Are you sure you want to do it?” He asked. “Remember, whatever you do can put her in danger,” he added.“Yes, I'm aware,” I said firmly. “I can't let my father be the first to get to her,” I added.“Okay then” Dex picked up his phone and searched for the number before forwarding it to me. “She’s strong, but she shouldn't have to be going through this alone,” I murmured, looking out the window, my gaze unfocused. ‘I know she has someone who she can depend on but I want her to talk to me,’ I thought.“It’s sent,”

Gabriel’s POVThe helicopter came to a stop on the rooftop of the estate. I was getting suffocated in the tiny space. I stepped out first.The cool night air hit me as I walked through the door to go down in the living room with Dex following closely behind. I couldn't stop thinking about her. ‘What is she doing? Is she ok?’ all those thoughts flooded my mind at once. I know she isn't missing but why can't I find her. I just want to see her again and talk to her.I walked inside without waiting for Dex, my footsteps echoing through the silent halls. A few servants looked up in surprise from how I was walking fast. They greeted me softly, but I didn’t slow down. I couldn’t afford pleasantries tonight. I just wanted to be alone for a while.As I passed the library, I caught sight of my mother standing near the window. Her posture tenses as her eyes spotted me.“Gabe…” she started but I cut her off.“Please save it. I can’t deal with this right now, Mom,” I said gently but it weighs. H

Bella's Pov “Richard we found out daughter,” she broke down and I started crying as well. “She really is our daughter,” she added.“Oh my gosh,” she sobbed. “It’s you. It’s really you.”I pressed my free hand over my mouth as tears spilled down my cheeks. Lissa wrapped her arms around me, holding me steady as my whole body shook.“We’ve been looking for you,” the woman continued, trying to steady her voice. “Every day, we have never stopped. I'm so happy.”“I didn’t know,” I whispered, my voice breaking. “I’m sorry.”“No,” Richard said firmly. “You have nothing to apologize for. You were a child. It's my fault for not watching you properly.”The woman sniffled and said “I’m Eleanor, your mother.” The word mother echoed painfully in my head.“I already have a mom,” I said softly, guilt overtaking me instantly.“And that’s okay,” she replied quickly. “We’re not here to replace your family. We just… want to reunite with you and get to know you.” I nodded even though she couldn’t see me

Bella's PovI tried to sleep but it wasn't coming. I picked up and stared at my phone for a long time after Lissa’s breath evened out and I knew she was asleep. My mind wouldn't rest. The words just keep replaying in my head over and over again.“Isabella Powell,” I whispered. That name felt so strange. It's like I'm learning all about my life over and over again. I turned on my phone and searched for the contact number. “Powell Residence” stared me in the eyes. My thumb hovered over it hesitatingly. ‘What if they don't believe me? What if I'm not the person they expect me to be? What if everything I worked so hard for goes down the drain when I call them?’ I thought, allowing my thoughts to run wild.I exhaled shakily and locked the screen. I pressed the phone to my chest trying to steady my heart beat.“You’re hesitating aren't you?,” Lissa mumbled sleepily, with her back still turned to me.I froze at the sound of her voice. “Were you awake this entire time? I thought you were sle

Gabriel’s Pov“Hi son,” my father said, walking towards the table smiling and my blood is boiling with rage.“Don't call me that. Who gives you the privilege?” I sneered. “Don't be like that. I know I haven't been in your life for 20 years but I'm here now am I not?” He said sarcastically. I looked at him. Really looked at the man in front of me to see if he really had the audacity to be saying that to me. I stood and slammed my hands on the table startling the Thompson family who was sitting down watching the drama unfold.“You think you can just walk out of my life for 20 years and just appear when you want to and expect me to accept you?” I said glaring at him with my chest heaving heavily.“News flash I'm not some push over. I'm not like my mom, someone you can give sweet words to and she tells you everything I've been up to,” he’s looking at me shocked like he wasn't expecting me to say that. “If it wasn't for you threatening me with Bella I wouldn't even have to be staying her
