HIS PAST: HIS BRIDE CHAPTER NINETY SEVEN
BELLAI think it is time I end whatever this is between Derek and me.For the first time in a long while, I can finally understand a little of what he is going through, and that realization terrifies me more than anything else.My heart is getting too attached again. Too involved. Too hopeful.And hope is dangerous.Because if Derek ever finds out about the twins, I have no idea what happens next.The Derek I once knew had been possessive, intense, and impossible to walk away from. What guarantee do I have that he isn't still that same man beneath the memory loss and softened behavior?None.Absolutely none.What if he uses the children against me?What if he threatens to take them?What if loving him again becomes the biggest mistake of my life?"Would you mind joining me today?"Tabitha's voice pulls me from my thoughts.I blink and look up from my desk.The office has finally gone quiet after one of the most exhausting days we've had in weeks.Orders pile up endlessly, customers co
HIS PAST: HIS BRIDE CHAPTER NINETY SIX
BELLAI don’t know what to do with all the information swirling inside my head, so I call the only person I could think of.Cole.If there is anyone who would know what to do with this kind of information, it would be him and the phone rings twice before he answered.“To what do I owe this call, ma’am?” he asks jokingly.A small laugh escapes my lips despite the heaviness sitting on my chest and it still felt strange hearing him call me ma’am.“I need to see you as soon as possible,” I say quietly. “But first… are you with Derek?”“Nope. I’m at Mom’s. What’s going on, though?” he asks immediately, his playful tone disappearing.“Nothing serious,” I say quickly, already regretting how tense I sounded. “I just have some questions. Questions I probably should’ve asked a long time ago.”There was silence for a second.Then his voice changes completely.“You know already?”My fingers tighten around the phone.“I guess he was right then,” I murmur, my throat suddenly feeling tight with emot
HIS PAST: HIS BRIDE CHAPTER NINETY FIVE
BELLA“What do you want this time, and how did you find me?” I ask Daniel coldly.Sitting across from the man who had betrayed me years ago feels surreal and I had expected something when I finally see him again maybe anger, heartbreak,or even lingering affection but there was nothing, n ache in my chest or even rapid heartbeat, just numbness and somehow, that scared me more.“Bella, can you stop looking at me like that?” he says softly, staring at me with something that resembles hope but all I can see in his eyes is deception.Before agreeing to meet him, I had made sure Derek is nowhere near this part of town ‘cause the last thing I need is for him to see me sitting with Daniel or meeting anyone connected to the past already feels dangerous enough, I am beginning to think this meeting has been a terrible mistake.“I’m sorry, Bella,” Daniel continues. “I don’t know how many times I have to apologize for what happened, but I am sorry and that’s why I’m trying to put things in place n
HIS PAST: HIS BRIDE CHAPTER NINETY FOUR
BELLA“I want to see you.”“No.”“That wasn’t a request.”Fear floods through me so fast my fingers turn cold around the phone.“You don’t get to walk back into my life whenever you want,” I snap, forcing strength into my voice even though my heart is already racing.“Maybe not,” he says calmly. “But I can definitely ruin the little perfect life you’ve built.”Tears burned behind my eyes immediately.“You’re sick.”“And yet you answered my call.”I hate how manipulative he sounds and how easily he drags me back into fear, that after everything, he still had the power to make my chest tighten with panic.“You need to stay away from me and my family.”“Family?” he echoes slowly. “Interesting choice of words.”My chest tightened painfully.“I mean it.”“And I mean this,” he replies darkly. “Meet me tonight, Bella, or I promise you Derek finds out everything in the worst possible way.”My entire body went numb.“Please…” I whispered helplessly.“You have until tonight.”The line went dead
HIS PAST: HIS BRIDE CHAPTER NINETY THREE
BellaIt was no longer news around town that I was with Derek and people had stopped whispering and had started openly talking about it instead. Somehow, though, nobody had pieced together that he was the father of my children, and thankfully, that part still remained hidden.“Miss Abrahams, please come to my office now,” Mr. Darren’s voice came through the intercom.I sighed quietly.Yeah, I had resumed work this week as my three weeks of vacation were officially over, and honestly, I felt lighter than I had in a very long time.Ever since that night with Derek, we had barely been able to keep our hands off each other, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.With Cole’s help, Derek had gradually slipped back into business smoothly, although something still seemed off, as there was this constant tension in him lately, something heavy he refused to talk about. Sometimes I would catch stress lines on his face when he thought nobody was looking, but aside from that, he had been the sweetes
HIS PAST: HIS BRIDE CHAPTER NINETY TWO
BELLA'S POV I wake up to the sound of my ringtone blaring loudly beside me, and my head is pounding so badly it feels like someone is drilling into my skull. I groan softly and force my eyes open before panic slams into me instantly. Where am I? This bed doesn't feel like mine and this room definitely isn't mine. I sit up abruptly and regret it immediately because the entire room starts spinning around me. My stomach twists, my head throbs harder, and then the memories from last night come crashing back in one rushed, chaotic wave. Fucking hell, Annabella. You didn't just sleep with Derek. I squeeze my eyes shut and let out a shaky breath. Oh my God. I hear footsteps outside the room and jump out of bed before he enters. My legs feel weak as I rush into the bathroom with my phone still clutched tightly in my hand. The se
HIS PAST: HIS BRIDE CHAPTER TWENTY
The weight of my reality follows me to my sleep In these dreams, I am always running toward a door that remains just out of reach, my pockets empty and my breath coming in ragged gasps. When I finally jerk awake, it isn’t the gentle touch of the sun that rouses me, but the cold, sharp clarity of m

After Tabitha leaves the library, I feel empty already. She is off to a date with her favorite godson, the mysterious Cole and I find myself battling a strange pang of jealousy. It isn’t a romantic jealousy, but rather a covetousness of her spirit. You can tell by the way her voice elevates, how he

I continue to stare blankly at Tabitha, my mind a spiraling thought flow, The air in the library feels different now thicker, charged with a current I haven’t felt in years. I am utterly lost for words, my tongue feeling like a heavy, useless weight in my mouth. The transition from being a libraria

Knowing Tabitha has so far been the best moments in my life. It isn’t just about the coffee she brings or the easy laughter we share between the quiet stacks of the library; she has helped my mindset travel a long way from the dark, stagnant place where I first started. For the first time in year
