Bellatrix's mood had done a total three sixty after meeting Cillian and the fact that the encounter with him left a bitter taste in her mouth, was an understatement.

It had been quite some time since she had seen someone as ridiculously entitled as Cillian.

So, with a scowl etched into the fine lines of her face, Bellatrix stormed back into her residence, silently fuming as she made her way upstairs and towards her bedroom.

Her skin still tingled and burned in a way she didn't like, all evidence that Cillian had laid his filthy hands on her and Bellatrix wanted nothing more than to rid herself of his scent and touch.

So, as soon as she got to her room, she stripped from her current attire and walked straight into her bathroom.

The shower was quick and cold, the type that would leave one freezing, but for Bellatrix, she couldn't seem to feel the cold, her body burning from the anger that coursed through her.

But the longer she stood in the co

    Bellatrix sat on the couch, leg crossed, counting down the seconds that had passed in her mind, when she heard it, the knock she'd been anticipating.It was show time, she thought as she stood up from the chair. At first, her steps were steady, then, she made them shaky as she approached the door and pulled it open.Damien stood on the other side of the door. His brows furrowed the moment his eyes landed on her and he reached up, placing his hand on her forehead."You're heating up, are you alright?" His voice carried a note of worry, strong enough to fool even the smartest of mind.Thankfully, she was the mastermind behind this little plan and since he was putting on such a good show, it was only natural that she did the same too, right?Taking a step forward, she wrapped her band around his neck. She felt him stiffen for a second under her touch before he relaxed.She smiled softly and got into character just like she'd planned."I

  • After Divorce, I Became The Ex-husband's True Love   Chapter 195 The Main Act Is About To Begin

    Between recalling the way Regina has treated her and waiting for Bellatrix to return to the room ever since she'd left, Sarah was slowly starting to lose her temper when suddenly, she heard the door open from the camera feed.Like a dog eagerly awaiting its master, she perked up, eyes glued to the screen of her phone. It didn't take her mood too long to change, lifting ever so slightly when she saw Bellatrix walk back into the room and drop down into one of the couches with an exhausted sigh."Come on," Sarah muttered, inching closer to the edge of her bed as if doing so would magically prompt Bellatrix to act like she'd wanted. "Take a sip from your water."No sooner had those words left her lips when Bellatrix stood up from the couch and approached the fridge. Pulling it open, she pulled out one of the bottles and cracked the lid open.Sarah's eyes shone with anticipation and she leaned closer to her screen, lips curling upwards as she watched Bellatrix

    Damien sat in his room, leg crossed ankle over knee. In his hand was the document for tomorrow's meeting.He flipped the page once. Seconds later, he flipped it again, then again and with a heavy sigh, he slammed the folder shut.He couldn't concentrate.No matter how hard he tried, his mind kept reminding him of Bellatrix's words and that in turn, reminded him of the guilt he carried and the imminent fate that would befall him as soon as she finds out that he was lying to her, laying her before Cillian like bait, waiting for the right moment to pull the rod back before Cillian bites.Another sigh escaped his lips, this time around, he ran his fingers through his hair.He was used to the feeling of guilt, having carried it half of his life, so why now, when it came to Bellatrix, was it weighing so heavily on his chest.Then again, nothing is ever simple when it comes to Bellatrix. He'd known that the day she helped him.The sound of t

    Cillian stood on the balcony, elbows leaned against the railing, eyes fixed on the screen of his phone.The sky above was a beautiful canvas of orange and pink, a sight that should have mesmerized anyone coupled with the beauty of the Island.But right now, Cillian felt anything but mesmerized. Confused, that was the exact emotion that swirled in his chest as he stared at the information Daniel had sent.It was Bellatrix's call log.Cillian had prepared himself to see the worst, to see the number of times she's called 'Charlie', but much to his surprise and confusion, only one number stared right back at him.Avery.Avery Smith? He thought, putting two and two together. There was no way he could forget the doctor. Out of the two girls in Bellatrix's small group, she'd been the one who stood out the most.All credits to her trashy mouth and hostile attitude.Plus, Cillian could never forget the person who'd taken Bellatrix's bod

    Sarah was pacing the room, drawing her hand through her hair, when the door suddenly swung open and Regina stormed into the room."Regina–" she rushed at her immediately. But less than a second later, Regina's words stopped her in her tracks."Get out."She froze, brows quickly drawing together."What?""Did I speak some foreign language?" Regina met her surprise and confused gaze, eyes burning with murderous desire. "Get the fuck out.""But..." Sarah blinked, her brain desperately trying to adjust to Regina's new attitude. "But were meant to watch Bellatrix together–"She was interrupted by Regina snorting. "What? Don't tell me you can't do something that simple? I'm not asking you to go fight a civil war, Sarah. All I asked is that you watch her and make sure she drinks from the water. Don't tell me you're so incompetent that you can't sit your ass down for a second and do that."Sarah flinched at her words. At he

    "You came to me, to talk about business?" Bellatrix spoke the moment the room door clicked shut.With her eyes trained on Regina, she walked elegantly towards the sitting area, placing the bottle water on the table in front of her, with more force than usual, before she sank into the chair and crossed her legs."Well that's a first.""Lancaster Industries is also my company. I hope you haven't forgotten that father signed it over to me, putting all operations in my name. So of course, I'd still involve myself in the business." Regina responded.Her eyes flicked towards the bottle for a few seconds before meeting Bellatrix's gaze again. Bellatrix noticed this and she smiled softly."What? Are you thirsty?"A streak of panic flashed in Regina's eyes. For a moment, her composure wavered.Bellatrix chuckled."No," she responded after a beat. "I came here to discuss business with you, not chat over drinks like old friends.""
