"That's right... Stepmother..." Bella answered with a smirk then looked at Lily and said "And... Sister???""What?! How?... How is this possible? You are not supposed to be here.!!" May said with her voice cracking and shaking her head slowly. Every other shareholder was confused as to what was happening. They knew who the men that had walked in were but the lady they didn't know. But, May had called her Isabella. Could she be the same person they were all thinking? They all looked at themselves and it was obvious, that they were all thinking the same thing. 'isn't she supposed to be dead?' and more importantly. Why was she here with Luke Simone and his right-hand man, Logan? How is it possible? Most of them had even been convinced that Lily and Luke were engaged and soon to be married. "Can someone please explain what is going on here? How is it possible that someone who is supposed to be dead is standing here?" The only woman among the shareholders spoke with a smirk playing on he
(Author note; guys if you stayed with me to this level means you find this book interesting. Please... Don't forget to leave comments. That is the only way I can improve. And I would also love to know your thoughts. From this chapter onwards, I will nickname Olivia and Oliver. Most times, I'll call them... Olive for Oliver and lives for Olivia. If you don't like it then y'all can tell me. Thanks.♥️♥️)On the other hand, May, the stepmother to Bella and Lily her daughter was already celebrating their victory. It had taken years of scheming to get to where they were now. They had gotten a tip from someone some days ago that Chris had gone to look for Bella and they were planning on coming back to ruin their plan of taking the company. It wasn't going to happen. They would never allow it to happen and that's why they had moved the meeting to two days earlier. They had planned the meeting for 7 am but for some reasons best known to the shareholders, the meeting had been moved to 9 am. Mo
The next morning...Bella and Luke woke up very early and Luke surprised Bella and the kids by making them breakfast himself. The shareholder's meeting was to start by 7 am but he had done some things to push the meeting to 9 am. while Bella was having her bath. He rushed to the kid's room and woke them up.They had their first family breakfast together that morning and Luke told Olivia and Oliver that, they'll probably be out the whole day. "Your mom and I have something we need to do and we'll be leaving in a while. I hope you two won't mind staying by yourselves today.""We are not babies who need constant monitoring, besides... I already know where you both are going and what you are doing " Oliver spoke. "What? I mean, how do you know what we are doing?" Luke asked. He was obviously confused. He looked at Bella who shrugged her shoulders meaning, she didn't tell them."We have our ways. Just do what you need to do and we'll take care of ourselves." Olivia assured with a giggle.
Night time... By the time the plane landed, it was already night. Bella had thought they would be landing in the airport, expecting to see many people when they arrived but, it wasn't like that. "Are we not in an airport?""Yes, we are. But, this belongs to me. We are keeping things quiet for now. They must not know about you and the kids just yet." Luke explained to her. "Daddy... When are we arriving, am so famished." Olivia voiced out. "Don't worry, my princess. We'll arrive home soon and you'll get to eat whatever you want. Okay?" Luke replied to her."I still don't understand. You mean, you own this airport?" Bella asked with shock written all over her face. Luke looked at her fondly and replied. "Yes. And now, it belongs to you as well. This one is not known to the public that's why I had the pilot land here. You shouldn't be so surprised. This is just the tip of the iceberg."Bella looked around and nodded her head. It's really very good to have so much money. Bells thought
When Luke stepped out of Bella's apartment, he couldn't help the smile that was on his face. "Finally! Finally, she is going to be mine.! " He said to himself and walked to his car. He took out his phone and made a call. "Get everything ready. I'll be back in the country a day after tomorrow." He said once the call was connected."Sure bro. But why are you coming back? Did you not succeed in getting her?" Logan who was on the other end of the call teased. "Am not a loser. I'll be back with my wife and kids. Just make sure you do your part ." Replied Luke."No way!!! She should have made you wait a bit longer. Gosh!! I was betting on you coming back alone for now... Damm it!""Don't tell me you guys have placed bets on me again... You all...""I'll see you when you get back bro... Hahaha... Bye!" Logan laughed nervously and ended the call."These dudes better not put me in trouble." He mumbled after seeing that Logan had ended the call. He drove back to his hotel room and when he ent
The next morning, Luke had appeared at Bella's doorway before seven. Bella was very surprised at his promptness. The kids woke up and dressed and their day began. They started by having breakfast together. After that, Luke took them to an amusement park. When it was afternoon, They went to Bella's grandmother and had lunch there. All day, Bella was very happy and while she watched how her kids were with Luke, she made up her mind about going with him back to L.A. By the time their day ended, it was already 9 pm. Oliver and Olivia decided to spend the night at their grandma's but they didn't forget to wink at their father before he left with Bella. "So, home?" Luke asked when they got to the car. "Uhm... I don't know. What do you think?"She asked him. "It's up to you Bella. Am up for whatever you want. Just name it and I'll do it." Luke said while glancing at her. "Well, how about we start preparing everything that we'll need to travel with you?" Bella asked out
