Trevor's eyes widened and his lips shook to see Miss Bella coming towards him. "Hi, Trevor. You still work here. Nice! I will ask Nik to appoint you as my bodyguard just like before," she smiled and patted Trevor on his arm. "Miss Bella, I am already the bodyguard of Mrs. Cooper," he muttered with his head down. "Oh! Not a problem, I will talk to Aunt Emily about it," she assured him and was about to press the doorbell when Trevor stopped her. "I am the bodyguard of Mrs. Lily Nikalus Cooper and the boss isn't at home," he blurted out, clenching his teeth tight and praying not to be slapped. "What?" Bella was puzzled. The astonishment in her sound was so clear that Trevor began to get frightened if he spoke out the wrong statement. 'But isn't the whole country aware of sir’s marriage?' "When did he get married?" "Yesterday," he whispered with amusement. ‘Where has she been this year? In Jungle!’ he laughed to himself without showing it outside. Though he is a bodyguard with a str
"Bella, what are you doing?" Nik's voice echoed in the house as Bella put the phone on speaker. "I came back," she answered as she had a bite of breakfast. "What do you mean by that? We broke up and it has been a year." Bella dropped the knife and fork, creating a loud irritating sound. "Correction, babe. We didn't break up. It was just a break." She hissed, staring at their picture on the phone. "And you fucking got married just in this one year. What happened to our five-year-long relationship? Or are you bored of me?" "Bella!" "That's not what you call me, babe!" Bella clenched her jaw. Nik pursed his lips and hesitated, but was left with no choice, "Babe, we are not meant to be with each other." "Is it? Did you know that after dating me for five long years? I don't believe you. There must be something that the gold digger has more than me. What is it? Is she good at sex?" she smirked. "If that was your requirement, they are many women whom you could bang
"So, you suggested taking a break because you want to get rid of me?" Bella asked with a broken heart. Nik did get fed up with Bella's arrogant nature, but never did he think of his life without her. She had always been by his side for five years and the mere thought of her disappearance was unbearable. However, even her extremely annoying nature wasn't tolerable too. Since Bella had already decided to go to America for a year, Nik thought it was the correct time to check how his life without her would be. But he couldn't say the same to her and hurt her even more. "No!" He lied, "I found those traits that you lacked in Lily." "Do you think I'm a fool to believe it?" she roared. "You never brought up the topic of marriage and even if I brought it up, you just ignored it. You always spoke about marriage as if it was a handcuff to your hands and legs. There must be something behind you getting married and also within a short amount of time." She chewed as she analyzed Niklaus' int
[Forty minutes ago]"Hello, What the hell is happening here?" Bella yelled over her phone."Mam!" The guy on the other side fumbled with fear at the sudden call from Bella."Why wasn't I informed about Nik's marriage?" she hissed and hit the wall hard."Did...Didn't you ask me not to call about Mr. Cooper?""I did!" she screamed, "but don't you think I should be informed about this? Fine! Tell me what happened." She didn't want to waste time on unnecessary matters. Knowing how Nik got married all of a sudden was all she needed. After fifteen minutes of brief about all the headlines from the past ten to fifteen days summed up the whole story.Bella listened to it patiently but a few things didn't match. "I don't think Nik knew Lily earlier. I know all of his friends and common friends." She twisted her mouth. "Was Nik invited to Lily and Drake's wedding?" She felt Nik's love story was a made-up one. However, she wanted to verify and see Nik's expression in the marriage."Yes!" "Good!
"Drake!" Nik yelled helplessly through the screen. 'Think! Think!' He can't let Drake take Lily. He was so stressed out that his mind was about to crash. 'Yes!' he hurriedly took his phone. He adjusted his voice and calmly and most leisurely began talking over the phone. "Hello, what's the current stock price of the Denholm industry? Shouldn't be much, right? Because of the ongoing murder plan case on Drake Denholm?" Nik smiled as sweat droplets formed on Drake's forehead. "Oh!! That's it! How much percentage should I buy to become the major shareholder?" Drake's heart took a halt, after hearing the word, 'major stakeholder.' His feet unconsciously stepped back. "Fine! Fine! I won't touch her." He was so frightened of his dad. He was well aware that his dad would be already agitated because of the loss he had created because of a single girl. The prestigious and age-old history of Denholm's empire collapsed and became a joke because of him. So, he didn't want to create any more mess
"Are you sure, you want to live here?" Trevor mumbled to see the narrow road and worn-out houses in front of them. He glanced around to see people with torn clothes walking on the unclean road. Just as a bodyguard, he was sure that he wouldn't be able to survive in such an environment. He turned back to see Lily too busily examining the houses and people. But her face didn't show even an inch of disgust or withdrawn look, instead she looked like she was searching for something. "What happened, mam?" "I don't know which house. No problem! I will call her," she took out her phone and kept it over her phone. "Rosy, I am at the start of the lane." Rosy too was shocked to hear that. An hour back, Lily called her to get the location. Rosy was perplexed as to why a newlywed bride wanted to stay with a friend the next day after marriage. Moreover, she was confident that Lily wouldn't be able to sustain herself in her tiny single room. But, Lily was so stubborn that Rosy was left with no
~ Tring! Tring! ~Trevor's phone rang and it ran the hell out of him. It was from Kai. Pointing the gun towards the door, he lifted the call, "Hello!" he said in the lowest voice possible."What are doing?" Kai asked, confused by Trevor's whispering. "Whatever, a person will be waiting out, receive him. Mr. Cooper purchased a house under Mrs. Lily's name. You three of them can stay over there until we solve the situation over here.""Oh!" Trevor's heart calmed down. "Ok, sir!" He gulped and went out to see a huge man who may be in his forties with keys in his hand. "Mrs. Cooper?" He asked in his hoarse voice. "One second," Trevor went in and woke up Lily. Usually, the guests are supposed to be called inside and treated well. But he couldn't do that, as all three of them wouldn't be sufficient in the packed room. However, he was on cloud nine as he wouldn't be staying in the tiny suffocating room anymore. 'I love you, Mr. Cooper!' he clapped and appreciated his boss in his heart. Li
"What?" Lily yelled and she turned awake in a second. She looked at the phone screen and it displayed, 'Rosy'. "Lily! Lily! Save me!" Rosy screaming terrified her even more. "Who are you? Why did you kidnap her?" Lily asked as she was aware of Rosy's background. But calling her, instead of her parents, gave her an answer that her friend was kidnapped because of her. 'I shouldn't have met her,' guilt surrounded her. "For money!" The guy on the other side answered and laughed aloud again as if a sarcastic laugh was necessary after every statement. "Sir, I think you have some misunderstanding. My friend is a worker in a small hotel. What money could you make from her?" Lily put on an act to check if they knew about her or not! "Mrs. Cooper, don't play smart!" The guy roared and Lily's heart raced. "Do as I say? If anyone knows about this, I will make sure that you wouldn't be able to identify your friend's dead body!" "I...I don't have money," Lily mumbled, crumbling the blanket
