Dominic’s POV.“Yes, I’ll be meeting with her this evening. My assistant found a way to lure her into the country by claiming he is interested in dating her, since he posed as a rich man, she took the bait and her flight should be landing anytime soon.” I explained to her and she nodded.“That’s great news, I’ll talk to Bella again about the plan and let’s hope things go as planned. I am sure she will be able to get us some information, she was the only assistant I had back then from the moment I took over till the moment I returned.”“I hope so too.” I replied just as we pulled up in front of Bella’s office building. She got down from the car quickly and made her way inside, I should have drove off to meet with my assistant like we had planned but for some reason; I couldn’t bring myself to leave.I wanted to see Bella again, even if it was just a glimpse of her, I didn’t mind so I stayed in the car and waited.After a few minutes of just sitting in there, I saw two women and a man g
Dominic’s POV.Grandma simply refused to accept that Vivian was pregnant for me, I tried to convince her because I knew Vivian wasn’t seeing anyone else, she might not exactly be the best woman out there but she was faithful enough.“Bella was here.” Ted murmured as he emptied the shot of vodka that was just placed in front of him by the bartender. I was eager to get away from everything so I had stopped by at his bar that evening.“Bella? Really? Was she looking for me?” I asked, my hope rising but he simply scoffed and asked the bartender for another shot.“You wish,” he rolled his eyes at me, “she was here for her friend, Audrey.”“What business do you have with her friend?”“She’s the one I told you about, the one I’ve been talking to on social media and I was hoping to have a good relationship with her but I guess that won’t be possible anymore.”“What do you mean?”“She doesn’t want to have anything to do with me because I am your friend, the friend of the man that hurt her best
Bella’s POV.“I don’t feel too good, something feels off about my health and for some reason I can’t seem to contact my doctor. My wife believes it’s nothing serious and the doctors medications have been working for me lately so I guess there’s no need to see a doctor but why do I keep feeling like something just isn’t right?”A particular paragraph caught my attention in the middle of the journal. It was indeed my father’s journal but for the past few minutes that I sat on his bed reading through it, I realized it didn’t contain much except for his day to day activities and the ideas he didn’t want to forget.He wanted to build an art school someday and was planning to donate a part of his fortune to medical schools to honor my late mother and me. I was shocked to read all the things he had written down about me, he sounded proud of who I had become and nothing like the father I thought despised me.“…i wish she could just come home. I’ll apologize for everything and maybe, just mayb
Bella’s POV.A woman clung onto his shirt and her well manicured hands slid underneath the few undone buttons to caress his bare chest. Both their hairs looked like a mess, like they had both just rolled out of bed or something and the way her almost exposed chest was barely staying hidden under her dress made me realize exactly what they had been up to.“Bella.” Ted sounded very surprised to see me, his eyes wide open in disbelief as he stared at me for a few seconds before he quickly stepped away from the girl.“I… I didn’t know you were coming.” He stammered lightly as he signalled for the girl to leave but she hesitated, glaring at me with hatred in her eyes.“You want me to leave… because of her.” She looked me over with disdain before she turned to him and tried to kiss him on the lips but he shoved her off roughly.“I said get out Rosetta.” This time his voice was harsh and he sounded really angry, that must have startled and confused her because she had an odd expression on he
Bella’s POV.It took a whole lot before the security men could get rid of Liana, Selena and the goons they had hired to reck havoc in the reception area but they eventually managed to throw them out and as soon as they hit the ground outside, I grabbed my phone and made a call to the security man I had placed in charge of ensuring the house stayed locked down:“Tighten security, I am sure Selena will try to gain access to the house now and I’ll be coming over personally later tonight to go through every single thing in her room, so make sure the entire place is under lock and key, do you understand me?”“Yes ma’am.” His calm voice responded from the other end of the phone before I dropped the call.The day had already started on a bad note but I still had a lot of things to attend to and a meeting with the board to discuss some issues we had been experiencing for some time, so I had to get myself together and I made my way to my office,For a moment, I just wanted to get away from the
Bella’s POV.I heard every single thing he had said while he stood in front of my door because after I slammed it shut, I collapsed against it and crumbled to the floor. I had no idea why my emotions were running wild while I listened to him speak but for some reason, tears slid down my cheeks as the memories filled my head.Dominic, he wasn’t bad to me throughout our marriage. He cared in his own way and even though I could sense how he was always trying to hold back, it slowly began to fade away with time but things changed when Vivian showed up again.Even after I heard him walking away from the door, I remained in my position for God knows how long until I heard someone unlock the door. I snapped out of it and jumped to my feet immediately and before I could react, the door opened and I was stunned to find Audrey standing in front of me.“Audrey!” I exclaimed in disbelief, “what are you doing here? I mean, what about the date with him? Did he not show up?” I asked, worried because
