Chapter: Three Years LaterBella didn’t know what to say or how to feel when she saw the news. While her friends were talking about it, she stood up and walked away.Instantly, the chatter died down as the three women exchanged glances before quickly following after her.“Bella, what is wrong? Can you speak to us?” Rosie asked as she soon matched her steps.“I just want to be left alone for an hour. Is that not okay?” She said without stopping in her steps.Venita and Caro glanced at each other before moving their gazes back to her.“Actually, that is not a bad request. A little bit of privacy is not much to ask for but you see, the fetus in your womb is still unstable and the doctor wants us to make sure you are never left by yourself.”To avoid her slipping into depression, her doctor had given them an instruction to follow.Even though Bella might seem to be in a better mental state now than when Miriam died, the child she was carrying was still in danger.Bella’s friends were worried that she woul

Chapter: Monitored All AlongRichard was not the only one carrying out the investigation. He had the help of his best friend, Matteo.“How is it possible for someone who has been hiding from the police for four months to suddenly jump out to drive into Bella’s car?” Matteo asked. Even he didn’t believe that was an accident.“I’m glad this matter is under both government and private investigations,” Richard said to him.A thought came to Matteo as he complained about what intentions Kareen might have had.“The police are still trying to investigate where that woman has been hiding.”The question was, how did Kareen survive for four months without being caught on any CCTV camera or stepping out to buy anything?The answer was right in front of both men. It was very obvious that she had help.“That woman had help,” Matteo suddenly said. “I think I know who it might be,” he added with a straight gaze on Richard.There was only one known person from their side Matteo thought would want to get rid of Bella.It

Chapter: The Real Target “Why did you take me back home?” Bella inquired as their car pulled up in the driveway.Richard threw her a glance before climbing out of the car. He managed to get her out and sighed in relief when Isla appeared.He let the little girl distract her until they got into the master bedroom before sending her away.“Bella, I’ve got some bad news to share,” He revealed as every fake emotion disappeared from his eyes.He looked a little sad and that scared the shit out of Bella. Plus he called her by her name.“Did anyone die?” She managed to ask as she felt her heart racing in her chest. She almost couldn’t breathe properly.Richard didn’t answer that question. He let out a deep sigh, confirming her fears.Bella quickly rose from the bed as her eyes turned red. Tears formed in her eyes as she stared down at him.“Who died?” She asked as a tremor wrecked her lower lips.A deeper sigh escaped from Richard’s lips as he rubbed his hands together. “Miriam got into an accident with you

Chapter: Confirming The Good News How was Bella supposed to answer the question she hasn’t confirmed yet?Mrs. Cooper couldn’t understand the thoughts running in her head as they continued to stare at each other, but she could see the signs, so she raised her brows, prompting Bella to answer.“I think so, but I haven’t confirmed it yet.”She and Richard started trying for a child in December and if she was pregnant, the signs and changes to her body would have started by now, especially depending on the date it happened.“That’s good news then! I shall help you get some pregnancy test kits,” Mrs. Cooper announced and sat down next to her, taking her hand gently with her eyes filled with gratefulness.“Please don’t mention any of this to Richard. I only want to break the news to him when it’s been confirmed. I don’t want to raise his hopes high and then flop it if the result turns out to be negative.”Even though Bella was still mad at him for no reason, she cared about his mental health and wouldn’t like for him

Chapter: Grandpa Moore's Golf LessonsEmily.“Although, I don’t know much about golf, but your grandfather has got to be a pro in this game,” I said to Tessa. We were standing side by side applauding Grandpa Moore for an excellent shot.Tessa whipped her head to me, a lingering smile on her lips. “You might be shocked when you see his dozens of awards in his study.”“I would like to see them!” I said excitedly.“Of course, I would show you after this match,” Tessa agreed and then turned her attention back her old man.Christopher wasn’t standing with us. He had a golf club in his hand while cheering his old man. He had played earlier, and he had been good at it.After the match, Tessa grabbed my hand and pulled me towards her grandfather before letting go.“Grandpa, Emily said you played like a pro, and then I told her all about your awards. She seemed fascinated and would like to see them.”I didn’t know this was why Tessa dragged me to him. I felt slightly embarrassed. But remembering what Christopher had said t

Chapter: Running A Fever Emily.Christopher and I took a long walk around. He showed me places I didn’t get to see last night. And by the time we took the walk back to the house, my knees almost gave way.The only thing he could say to me was that I would be doing more than that now that Stella was gone.“Okay,” you don’t have to remind me of it.Tessa mentioned something about watching her grandfather play golf later in the evening. I tucked that schedule into memory and left for the balcony with her to sit and chat.I started feeling sleepy and had to excuse myself. I returned to my room in time to hear my phone ring. I hadn’t taken it with me for breakfast and that is why coming back to it now and seeing thirty missed calls from my mother shouldn’t be a surprise.For a brief moment, I contemplated ignoring the call or returning it. I chose the latter.Nothing good ever came out of trying my mother’s patience. I know her to well.When fire sparks in her head, she might go as far as to start calling

Chapter: First Breakfast with the MooresEmily.“I want to kiss you. Can I?” He whispered, with clear amusement flashing across his eyes. “W-what... H-how... Do you need permission to—”I was so startled that I didn’t know how to word my question. And I hadn’t even finished the one I managed to ask when his lips crashed onto mine.I actually meant to ask him if he needed permission for things like this. He didn’t need to, given the stage of our relationship. But I had also meant to ask him why he would want to kiss me right now, right here in Tessa’s presence.But of course, he didn’t give me the chance.“C-chri...” My words were swallowed as he deepened the kiss, not giving me the chance to speak.I was completely disoriented all thanks to me worrying about Tessa catching us.She had her back to us. And only a turn of her head was all it would take for her to see.“Focus, Emily” I heard Christopher’s voice pulled me back to him. I hadn’t realized when he stopped.“How can I focus when there is someone else in t

Chapter: What If She SawEmily.“Chris, where would you and Emily live after the wedding?” That was the question Tessa asked Christopher the moment I handed her a cup of tea and sat down next to him.I glanced at Chris as well, showing interest in his response.His family didn’t look like the type to allow their members live in a different house when they had a mansion big and comfortable enough to house even to their fourth generation.“Grandpa wants us to live here, but I would discuss with him tomorrow. After the wedding, Emily and I will spend two weeks here before moving back to my penthouse,” Christopher explained.Tessa nodded in understanding. “Newlyweds need this moment to live by themselves without anyone’s interference.” Then she added, “Chris, if I were to be in your shoes, I wouldn’t want to spend the first two weeks of my marriage here.”“That was my plan initially, but I need to make sure I don’t give grandpa the slightest opportunity to get us to move back here permanently.” Christop

Chapter: Desserts for the NightChristopher.Tessa stopped talking and dropped the ex topic altogether when she noticed how comfortable Emily was. I was quite sure Emily didn’t think it was nice to mention her ex-boyfriend in her fiancé’s presence. Also, my cousin seemed to come back to her senses.She glanced at Emily, and then at me before releasing a deep sigh.“Emily, forgive me, but your mother is a handful,” Tessa declared as a matter of fact. “And please don’t get mad at me in case I keep saying it. Because, I probably wouldn’t stop until she changed. Now, what are the odds?” “I know.” Emily agreed, hiding a smile. “She might never change, so your mouth should get prepared not to stop talking about her.”“Good!” I shook my head. I was in for a proper conversation with Emily tonight, but it seemed like my kind cousin had forgotten all about the help she promised earlier and has decided not to leave, even placing orders for a midnight snack.Or maybe I got the ‘process’ all wrong?Soon, a soft polit

Chapter: Without Mincing Words Christopher.Tessa and I walked Emily to her designated bedroom.Along the corridors, Tessa mentioned spending the night with Emily so she wouldn’t feel lonely in any environment.“Chris, I know you would want to spend a little time with Emily. And on this note, bribe me,” Tessa said, looking back.“What do you want?” I asked, hiding the smile threatening to spring up from my lips.“Treat my Emily well,” she said before turning her gaze ahead.I felt that she had wasted the opportunity. Treating Emily well wasn’t even a question. It is something I have already decided to do.“How is Emily yours?” I asked, deciding to get to the bottom of it.“Because she is my best friend, even till the end.” I didn’t doubt that.We got to the room Emily would be residing in. Tessa opened the door and let us in. I shut the door and followed.My gaze took in every piece of furniture in the room. The room was very comfortable. It was one of the best guest rooms. Emily was worried when she d
