ANMELDENBRENT DE GUZMAN POV.
"It's done already, grandpa," I seriously said to my grandpa. "Are you sure? Did you see each other? Bella is beautiful, right?" Joy was evident on grandpa face. "Lolo, please stop. She's not Bella, I know who Bella is. Bella and I have been together for several years." "Brent, isn't it possible for another woman to have the name Bella as well? Ehem, why, are you sure that the one you are with right now is your wife from before? Brent, even though I haven't seen your wife from before, I know that she is the Bella who helped me." I don't know, but I feel it. "Granda, please don't doubt the person I'm living with right now. She's Bella, I love her so much." No matter what happens, I will still fight for my wife. We have been husband and wife for almost several years. Bella was the only one I was looking for back then after I woke up in my Dad's hands. "Grandson, I don't know what to do. But I want you to bring the woman who saved me here. I am already old, I want Bella to be married to you before I pass away," Grandpa's voice was firm. He really wanted to fight for that woman, who probably only wanted money. "Grandpa, please. I love my wife, you know me." "Brent, you can't do anything about it, that is my command. Bring Bella to me, I want her to live here in the house." My eyes almost widened at what he wanted. What the! What did that woman do to Granpa! "Lolo...." "No! that's my final decision!" I just stopped because of his angry voice. I also can't bear to hurt my grandpa because he is the reason why I am here. Grandpa was the reason for saving me from my Dad's hands. "Okay, fine," I calmly said. But deep inside me, I was annoyed and wanted to explode with anger. • • • • • I immediately called my men to pick up that woman. "You know what to do. If she doesn't agree, call me," I coldly said to them. "Okay sir!" "Yes sir!" "Hi babe," my wife's voice said. I gave my men a cold look, which caused them to immediately leave my presence. "Babe, who are they? What are they doing? And why do they look so serious?" Bella asked me in confusion. "Nothing, Bella, I just ordered them to do something." "Ordered? What thing? Can I know? Please..." I was having second thoughts about telling her this. But I couldn't bring myself to lie to the woman I love. "Babe, I'm sorry. There is a woman who is using your name. And now, I sent my men to get her," I calmly said. "What??? And who is she??? Where is she, huh? Maybe she wants to steal you from me, so she even pretended!" Bella shouted angrily. "Okay, calm down. It's okay. I already know about that matter. Don't worry, hmmm, that woman can't do anything, okay?" "But babe, I'm afraid she will take you away from me. Promise me it's only me. Promise me there is no someone else, ah, please..." Then she pouted. "I promise." "Ahm, by the way, babe. I still have somewhere to go. Sorry, let's talk later, okay? I will return immediately, please let me go, okay?" she said in a gentle voice. "Okay, fine. Just be careful, and come back right away. If you want, I will send my other men with you to make sure you're safe." I touched her hair, then I kissed her forehead. "Ahm, no thanks babe. I can handle myself," she declined. "Okay, fine. Just be careful." GINA POV. "Sh*t! What is that woman's plan! Argh! Does she want to steal Brent from me??? What the fuck! She has been out of our lives for a long time. And now, she will ruin everything??? She will take everything that should be mine? Well, well, well, in your dreams Bella! Because I know that Brent will never trust you. Thanks to your name, huh? Because I am now Bella Monteverde, ever since you ran away from home! I quickly drove my car to go to the hospital. I will attack that woman because of her worthless face! Useless and a ruiner! I can't calm myself down. How can I calm down if there is a leech and an insect roaming around right now! And around Brent, no less??? Well, we will fight to the death first, Bella, if you want to take Brent and everything else from me. You really should have just died back then. When I arrived at the hospital, I immediately went to her child's room. However, Brent's men were here. This can't be, because I'm sure Brent will suspect me if he finds out I came here. In that case, I will just wait for you to leave. I couldn't come near because Brent's men were positioned outside and inside the room. Moments later, I witnessed how they hurt Bella. There, that is what people who act like leeches deserve! Go ahead, hurt her until that woman dies. Anyway, she is useless! "What is this, let go of me! What did I do wrong to you, huh! Can you please let go of me!" she begged repeatedly. She was really fun to watch. "Miss, you are being told properly again. But you are so stubborn. If you really don't want to listen, we will be forced to call our boss." Boss? What??? Is Brent really coming here? This can't be! Argh! I calmed myself down, forced myself to stand up, and smiled. I need to compose my walk so I look like an angel. "Excuse me, I will handle this," I said gently to them. "Yes, ma'am!" they bowed to me at the same time. That's right, that's how it should be. I slowly helped Bella stand up. "Go ahead, leave now." They just nodded as an answer and left. After they left, I pushed Bella, causing her to fall. Is she feeling lucky for me to be nice to someone like her??? "Gina... Gina, what are you doing?" along with a tear falling from her eye. "What do you think???" my voice boomed loudly."Grandpa, what are you doing here?" I asked Grandpa with worry. He was the grandpa I helped out the other day. I was worried about what Brent might do to him. Especially since Brent has changed a lot now. It wouldn't be surprising if he hurt someone else, just like what he did to me, even though I was once a part of his life. "I'm fine, but what kind of clothes are you wearing? Tell me, who made you wear that! Was it Brent?!" he shouted angrily. Grandpa was surprising he was so brave, and it turned out he could be scary, too. "Grandpa..." A soft voice came out of my mouth. "That Brent really. I ordered him to bring you here so you could live here, too. And then, this is all he does." My eyes widened almost fully at what I heard. Do he and Brent know each other? My brain started to wonder now. "Grandpa, what are you saying? I don't really understand what you are mentioning. I am confused," I said, feeling spaced out. "My child, Bella, go change your clothes and wait for me here.
BELLA POV. (A NEW DAY) I still cannot accept what happened yesterday. I also could not sleep well last night because of overthinking. "Knock! Knock!" Sound of the door. But it feels like it just goes in and out of my ears. A little while later, a loud kick sounds from it. It almost breaks the door. I immediately stand up, because the ones who entered are the men who hurt me yesterday. These are Brent's men. "What are you doing?" I ask in worry. I am worried that they might hurt my child. "Miss Gina, it is time to pick you up and bring you to Brent's house. You cannot do anything because we will be forced to hurt you, especially your child. We are sorry because this is just Sir Brent's order to us." His voice is calm. However, it has a mix of threat. I look at my child. I cannot leave him here. "Can it be later instead. My child needs me. Please, because no one will watch over my child either." I beg them. But instead of letting me be, they hold my hands tightly. I mana
BELLA POV "Why are you doing this, Gina? You were not like this to me before, right? Why are you acting like this! What did I ever do to you!" I cannot stop the pain I am feeling right now. "Bella, Bella, Bella...." She says while clapping her hands a few times. I do not understand what she's doing. But it feels like she is showing me that I mean nothing to her. It is as if, to her, we never had any past together. "My life is happy now. I was so happy when you disappeared. But why did you have to come back now???? Can you please just go far away together with your child! Also, I am telling you right now, do not ever come near Brent!" Her voice is very angry, along with her raised eyebrow. "Why do you know Brent? Why are you saying that? What is going on between the two of you!" I say in deep confusion, sobbing as I cry. "Bella! I am Brent's wife! I am happy with him! Also, I am the only Bella Monteverde he knows! So please, get out of his life! If you still want us to have p

BELLA MONTEVERDE POV. "Doc, how is my child?" my worrying self asked. I am so afraid to lose my most beloved child. Kiel is the only memory I hold on to of Brent. "Ma'am, all the equipment for the surgery is ready. We just need your signature." I was so shocked. Because I don't have any money for the surgery. I couldn't even ask for help from Daddy. "What do you mean by that, doc? I haven't paid yet and I still have a large amount to pay, right?" I asked in confusion. Fear also struck my heart. "Don't worry, ma'am. Someone already paid for it. So please sign now, so the child can be operated on." It was as if my world suddenly stopped. My child, he needs to live. I took the paper he was trying to hand over. I looked at it carefully first and read it properly. There was nothing wrong it was indeed for my child. Even though I was still having second thoughts, I immediately signed it. "Thank you, Ma'am." Only a smile was my response. While they were bringing my child to the
SEVEN YEARS LATER "The President is here! Everyone, be respectful for the first appearance of the new President!" This was the shout of one of the President's staff. This President was none other than Brent De Guzman. Everyone admired him. He was smart, handsome, with a sharp nose and expressive eyes. However, he had a cold heart. "Good day, Sir!" the employees shouted together after he got out of his car. Everyone gave him a warm welcome. Brent stayed silent. He coldly walked past them until he finally went inside his company. • • • • • Bella was walking in a hurry to go to her father. She needed help for her child, whose illness had now become severe. After a few minutes, she arrived at their house. "I didn't expect you to come back, sis," her stepsister greeted her rudely. "Ahm, Gina, where is Dad? I just have something to tell him. Can you please tell him that I am here?" Bella asked in a gentle voice. "I'm very sorry, sis. Because he doesn't want to see
