Bella was only six years old when her mother got severely sick.
One night while her mother was having another painful seizure, Bella run out of their room to ask for help. They were never allowed to go out unless being called but she was already bawling her eyes out asking for help for her dying mother.
Unfamiliar with the house, she ended up coming to the last room at the end of the corridor.
The door was slightly open and she immediately saw the beautifully decorated room inside. It was very different from the small and plain room she and her mother uses.
The heart of the child was immediately distracted. She quietly entered the room, constantly looking around.
“Wow!” she cheered as she looked around the huge room.
She wanted to have a room like this too!
“Shut your mouth!” the young Bella’s eyes widened in fear as she heard Hope Richards’ angry voice coming from a distance. She then realized that she was about to get caught inside this beautiful room.
She frantically looked inside the room, looking for a place where she can hide.
“That woman’s dying, Hope! We need to make sure that Bella’s not going to stay here! She will take everything away from our daughter!” That was what she heard that night from an unknown man. She was way too old when she finally realized what that phrase was supposed to mean.
It was already too late for her way back then but now? She’ll make sure to take back what everyone owes her.
That’s what filled her mind as she stashed everything her eyes fell into inside the room. Caitlin was screaming and shouting for her to stop but she keeps on turning the pink room upside down.
Caitlin rushed up to stop her but she was easily pushed aside as a white dress came flying directly to her, covering her whole face!
She hastily pulled the dress away from her face only for her jaw to drop as she saw all of her pieces of jewelry and cosmetic sets were thrown out and broken on the floor.
“Oh my God! This is my limited edition dress, my bag… this is a gift from Gaspal!” Caitlin seems to lost her mind as she kneeled on the ground to pick up her things.
But her mumbling didn’t even stop Bella was destroying everything.
“Bella! Stop this!”
“Ha! What is this?” Bella pretended not to hear anything as she check out and throw everything on the ground.
Allen and Hope heard the loud noises and Caitlin’s screams and ran upstairs only to be dumbfounded to see the scene before them.
“Stop this, Bella! You bitch! You don’t have any idea how much each of these is worth you country bumpkin!”
Allen was the first one to compose himself and with a loud and opposing tone he called out to his youngest, “Bella! What the hell are you doing?!”
Hope pretended to side with Bella as she pretentiously try to calm her husband.
“Bella, what’s wrong? If you’re not contented about something you should’ve told us. There’s no need to do this to your sister.” Hope uttered in a soft voice.
Bella was still standing in the middle of the room, staring at her father who seems not to know who his real child is. Casually the perfume on her hands fell loudly on the wooden floor of Caitlin’s room.
“No!” Caitlin wailed as she stumbled to throw everything she was holding to run over the perfume that was now freely swimming on the floor with pieces of its broken glass container in it.
“Oops!” Bella uttered unapologetically. “My bad.”
“Bella, what are you doing?!” Allen roared angrily. “This is your first day here and yet you’re already causing too much trouble!”
Bella’s face twisted in a mocking smile as she slightly scratch the side of her head as if wondering what she did wrong. “Sorry, I grew up with no parents to look after me. I didn’t know how to ask for something politely.”
“Am I bad for doing this?” she asked as she pulled one of Caitlin’s dresses to the ground and noisily tear them apart. The fabric was so easy to tear she didn’t even need to put much effort to do so.
“Bella!”
Hope’s face started to change as she watched her daughter’s crest-fallen face while hugging the now thorn dress.
“You can send me back if I am causing you too much trouble,” Bella said smiling.
“What do you want?” Allen asked, finally giving up.
Bella looked around the room and smirked at Caitlin and Hope who were waiting for her to talk. “I want this room.”
“What are you talking about?! This is my room!” Caitlin immediately countered as she charged toward Bella who looks so unbothered with her current state.
Seeing how everything was turning more chaotic than it already is, Hope Richards stepped forward and aimed for Bella’s shoulders. Bella’s eyes followed her hand as she gently placed them on her shoulders as if a mother trying to console her daughter who’s throwing a large tantrum.
“Bella, if you don’t like the room we prepared for you, I can arrange another room. You don’t need to do this to your sister—”
“I want this room. Specifically this one.” Bella’s eyes were directly staring at her father’s eyes while talking. She didn’t care whatever Hope was babbling about, she knows who gets to give the final say.
It’s the alpha of course.
“Fine.” Allen agreed which made the mother-daughter duo turn to him with wide eyes.
“Dad!”
“Allen!”
Allen gave his wife and his daughter a warning glare before his ferocious eyes turned to his youngest. “Take this room and behave. I don’t want any more trouble from you, Bella.”
Instead of answering, Bella faked a yawn and stared at the three people watching her. “I want to rest, please help yourself out.”
Before they even know it, the three had already gone out of the room, in front of them is the closed white door.
“Dad! Why did you do that?! Why let her take my room?!” Caitlin turned her anger to her father who stared at her scoldingly.
“You’ll get it back soon. For now, bear with it until everything settled down.” He said before staring at the door one last time and turning his back to go back to his office.
Meanwhile, inside the room, Bella laid her back on the soft mattress and dialed someone’s number using her phone.
“Bella?” A soft voice came from the other side of the phone.
“Jessica, can you help me investigate the recent activities of my family and better yet the whole Blue Moon pack?”
“Huh? Why? What happened? Something wrong?” Jessica’s voice sounded so worried after hearing her request.
“Nothing…yet. I just wanted to check so that I could be ready for anything.”
“Oh, alright. I’ll have it checked.”
“Thanks, Jes!”
After hanging up the phone, she put it down beside her. She stared at the white ceiling and started to think out loud.
“What could they possibly need from me?”
Bella did not even think about it and just plainly said, “No.”Kevin’s face instantly fell. “Why?”The actual fact is that you will be able to get a lot more than just a few of these.If he did not mention it, it is fine. But mentioning it reminded Suzie about the scandalous sounds she just heard from the recorder.At once, a face of contempt appeared on her face."You are really good at kissing people, but the sound from the recording, you are neurotic? So disgusting oh."Kevin Smith’s face turned black, "Blame me all you want. I just released that recording to help Boss Bella, and you think I’m really shameless?"Suzie Tan bristled, "You don't have to say anything, you've already put a label on me, neurotic!"Kevin jumped in anger and rolled up his sleeves to teach her a lesson. He had a bad temper and couldn't stand this kind of anger.Suzie Tan immediately hid behind Bella, pointing at him and whispering a complaint, "Bella, did you see that? Such a grumpy person. You absolutely c
“What do you mean I’m in cahoots with boss Bella? Why are you trying to turn the tables, you filthy woman?!” Kevin exclaimed angrily.Caitlin deliberately said those words loudly with Kevin around to prove another point.Kevin’s known to be a bad student. Therefore, everyone associated with him is also considered to be bad.The crowd really froze and then another round of loud whispers filled the air. Of course, the words said in a hush manner were never the nice ones.The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who have been believing such stories for a long time. That was just like some usual happening in a society filled with people with snake-like hearts.Bella gave Kevin Smith a questioning look. As if saying that he better do something about the problem he caused her or else…Kevin Smith sighed heavily and nodded before taking out something from his pocket. People followed his every move and stared at the small rectangular black device he was now holding.“I admit that
Kevin Smith frowned at her. His face lacked the same thrilled expression he gives her every time he sees her before, instead, anger and impatience are all plastered on his face.“Watch your words, you filthy girl!” Kevin spat angrily.“Kevin, you are really sick! Did that little bitch give you some kind of bewitching soup? You are really quick to fall back!” Caitlin said.“Continue spouting nonsense about our boss Bella and you’ll get a lot more than what you could take, Caitlin! Show her the respect she deserves!”Bella on other hand has no classes scheduled for the afternoon so she gets to have time to catch up for some sleep.“Wow! You’re sleeping again?” Suzie held her small face as she stared at Bella’s beautiful face with a worshiping expression.She seems to be so mystified seeing how strong, cool, and beautiful Bella looks like even when sleeping.Bella pulled the corner of her lips and slowly opened one of her eyes which was immediately directed to someone who was coming behi
Kevin Smith did not even pay any attention to Suzie and could only rub his hands together as he shamelessly stare at Bella with adoration. “Please accept us as your apprentices! I promise you can count on us at any time, at any place! One call from you and we would come running!”Bella is also a bit speechless.Did she hit this person too much that his brain had stopped working properly?Kevin noticed Bella’s silence and so added, “Bella, you can be rest assured that this area was previously covered by me, in the future I can guarantee you that absolutely no one would dare to cause you any more trouble!The crowd was stunned.They were expecting for a fight to break out and not a dumbfounding scene like this.Kevin Smith is known to be a troublemaker in their university. Coming down to the third lowest in the rank among his batch, he hated studying and would rather fo a fist fight with his classmates than to read a book that would teach him a lot of things. He was only known to have a
The next day, Bella prepared to go to class as usual. But unlike her usual indifference before leaving, she gave a meaningful glance at Hope Richards, who was silently sitting by the patio."Have a nice day, our dearest Luna,” Bella said with a meaningful smile before turning around to leave.Before Hope could say anything, Bella had long been gone. She can only grit her teeth in anger and mumbled incoherent words of profanities under her breath. When she turned around, she found her husband, who was all dressed up, ready to start another day at work.“Allen!” Hope called out in exasperation.“What happened?” Allen worriedly asked as he saw his beloved wife with an unhappy face. He hurriedly walked down the stairs to coax her up.“That bastard daughter of yours! She’s really getting to my nerves!” Allen pounced on an empty spot as Hope avoided his embrace. He immediately knew that Hope was really mad and so he immediately shifted his tone into a rather soft and coaxing voice.He heav
The trio became silent as words started to feel scarce between them after Bella’s statement. Allen could only clear his throat and attempt to change the subject.“What’s going on, anyway?” he asked, pertaining to the way the higher-ups of the university treated her.Bella naturally understand what he meant but pretended not to."Don't play dumb now, Bella! You know what I'm asking about. How did you get into the IT department that easily?" Allen looked at her with probing eyes."Oh, that." Bella did not intend to reveal her ace cards, so she continued to act nonchalantly. “Probably my charm?” Allen Richards’ jaw dropped as he stared at his daughter for a few moments, completely lost for words to say. Soon enough, he could only grit his teeth as he tried to suppress his anger and irritation. He then snorted before heaving a deep sigh and giving his wife a knowing look. Bella yawned. “If there’s nothing else you need, I shall go up and rest. I am really tired.” She lazily walked upsta
