Bella's POV
"Get ready for your marriage. I'll be arriving in a few hours with your in-laws!"Saying that , he hung up the call leaving me in confusion. I ran my fingers through my hair curls and murmured,' What he meant by get ready? Are the groom's parents arriving with my dad?'Before I could think of escaping someone knocked on my door. I opened the door to my suffering. My mom and head maid Alina were standing there with big boxes. And it wasn't surprising at all because I know my mom would try to keep her keen eyes on me.' Should I give up and see how my husband is? If he's handsome then I might consider getting married!' I thought while Alina and mom were doing my hair style and makeup." Hey Bella, can you please keep a smiling face when your in-laws arrive?" My mom requested after seeing me sighing and frowning continuously." Okay mom I will do as you say. But if I see my future husband is ugly I'm not going to get married."I made myself clear since I don't want confusion or my mom's manipulation. It's not like I am short on bank balance to get married with extremely old and ugly one." You're being picky."" Because I'm your daughter. You chose dad because he was freaking handsome and had nice body..."" Oh. Indeed you're like me," my mother laughed and softly whispered," Worry not. Your fiancé is very good looking."At Least that's what my mom said but why he looks way too younger than me. I was sitting in the living room beside my dad and in front of me were two men sitting.One of them introduced himself as Chairman Alden Mcadam. His features were brown hair perfectly set in a stylish way and hazel eyes. He appears to be in his forties but still has a good build and outstanding appearance.' He's going to be my father-in-law! Not bad.'Then I shifted my gaze again at the quiet sitting guy. He looked one or two years older than me and had a young appearance. Jet black hair and grey eyes, completely different from his father.' Maybe he inherited it from his mother?' I thought , scanning him from head to toe. He had a slender , attractive body, not muscular. To be honest I'm not into younger men but he has a gorgeous face and an idol shaped body. I guess I'll unsee his age this once.I looked down at his pants, focusing on his groin. ' I'm eager to find out his size. Will this man make me forget about my one night stand?'" Hi, I'm Erick Mcadam. I'm a younger son ," that gorgeous young man answered.' Erick Mcadam? I think I've heard this name from my friends. Is he that famous Hollywood actor in the movie 'Programme of Al '?' I narrowed down my eyes as I focused on him.My dad slightly touched my elbow,'' Don't stare at him like a creep. Introduce yourself." My dad whispered near my ear." Hello, I'm Bella Diór."After some chat with Erick, his dad extended a red file towards my dad. My dad took it and passed it to our lawyer." The groom's name is Caspar Mcadam. 26 years old and working as CEO of Mcadam corporation Ltd. in America," the lawyer started reading the marriage contract details of my future husband.' Who's this Caspar? Means the man sitting in front of me is his younger brother!?' I annoyingly stared at the smiling face of Erick." These are the two terms Mr Caspar Mcadam wants to be followed. First, no physical relationship with him. Second, never interfere in his personal life," lawyer finished reading the contract.' What does he mean by no physical relationship? Is he worried about me seducing him?' I clenched my fist in rage. This was a big insulting slap on my face.' I can't believe this Caspar guy! What does he think of himself?'" Mr. Alden Mcadam, I never thought your elder son was this stubborn," my dad chuckled." I apologise for my son's rudeness but it will be over if they live together," that sly chairman Alden laughed.Damn! What is so funny? Here my blood is boiling hot to kill that rude man and these two old men are laughing at each other's jokes.I got up abruptly. " I don't want this marriage."Awkward silenceEveryone stopped talking and looked at me in confusion. Yeah that's right, hear me out loud and clear. I fucking don't want this paper marriage.I thought at least I'll get to sleep with my husband all night to get over my sexual urges but now that he has set no physical relationship terms. ' I don't want him as my husband. Better look for another man dad,' I smiled at my dad and was about to leave.When suddenly one man in black suit entered the living room. He was equally handsome with blonde hair and blue eyes. ' Is he the elder brother, Caspar Mcadam? Now he finally shows up...'" Sir, young master texted me that if the lady Bella refuses to marry him then you don't need to force," that man said as soon as he got inside.Fuck! He's an assistant working for that rude ass guy Caspar." What do you mean?" Chairman Alden asked, getting anxious." Young master said he will find a way to deal with French government officials."' So he's that full of himself? He's literally challenging me by his ridiculous contract terms! He never wanted this marriage in the first place. Pretty clever but unfortunately I'm not letting you succeed in your plans,' smirked and snatched the file from my lawyer's hands." I changed my mind."I said flipping the pages of the contract marriage. On the papers my soon to be husband had already signed his signatures.My dad got up and leaned close to me. " Are you sure? If you don't want to marry the elder brother you can choose his younger brother."" Dad?" I glanced at him. He was more shameless than I'm. Now that I think about it, I inherited my personality traits from my easy going dad." I'll make this Caspar Mcadam's life hell. You just wait and watch dad," I murmured, pulling out the pen from my dad's shirt's pocket.I signed the papers without wasting any second. After signing, I threw the file at chairman Alden Mcadam. " Your business is over now, leave."" B-Bella...?"I can imagine my dad fainting after witnessing my disgraceful behaviour. He brought it on himself so I can't help but feel disgusted." Don't you want to see what your husband looks like?" Chairman Alden said calmly as he took out an envelope from his suit's inner pocket." No."" Yeah...?" Chairman Alden reacted shockingly, staring at me with a confused face. As if I had said something unusual. I mean I definitely said it was unusual but reacting this vibrantly is unnecessary unless he thinks his son is god." If there's nothing else to talk about I'll get going. Bye dad and don't call me . I'll go out tonight."I casually walked out of living room, crushing every slightest courtesy and respect for them. I don't like parents who for their own benefit use their children as bait.My dad is one of them who agreed to this marriage. He must have thought of getting a good son-in-law but rather he got a rude one . Who never bothered to come and greet his soon to be wife.' I will not let this go this easily Caspar Mcadam. I'll show you what I'm capable of. I'll make you feel disgusted with my affair scandals that you'll one day come to my mansion on your own,' I cursed under my breath as I started the car's engine.BELLA."What do you mean?" I crawled backwards, making a visible distance from him. "I'm not going anywhere, I need to go back to Saint Petersburg. My flight is already booked, so tell your so-called boss I have no fucking time."Saying that I got up from the floor and started to walk out when suddenly Alex grabbed my right wrist and dragged me inside. Tossing me on the floor, he casually shrugs off his shoulders and scratches his head with the tip of the gun."I think you are misinterpreting my words, Miss Bella." "What do you mean?" I knitted my eyebrows in seriousness, but I was tripsy and barely holding myself together. "Alex, you better take care of the mess you created," I said pointing at the dead bodies of John and his bodyguards. To which Alex laughed. Taking steps towards me, he kicked the bodies out of his way. "That's not the problem here, but if you refuse to go with me then it could become a problem…""I will call the cops and say you were the one to shoot them dead. A
BELLA.At 12:30 am, Random nightclub, New York City."Miss, you should stop drinking, I suggest," Vincent advised me with a look of concern when I asked the bartender for another whiskey bottle. I turned back to look at Vincent with my swollen eyes and smiled at him."Do not worry, Vincent. Few bottles of whiskey ain't going to make me drunk. I have higher alcohol tolerance than you might think." "Miss, still it's not okay. We should be leaving for Saint Petersburg before reporters find you," Vincent insisted with concerned expressions. The scene which was caused by me at Caspar's wedding had started appearing on social media. Like a forest fire, it was spreading on every news channel and I might soon be surrounded by the reporters. But I was unbothered, I can endure it. What was troubling was the behaviour of Caspar! How could he ignore me after pushing me down and caring about that fake bitch? Is he really in love with her now? All men are the same! Caspar is no exception, he als
BELLA. "No. Please don't say like that," I panicked seeing the pain in his eyes, I felt my heart ache in his pain. "I-I love you, Caspar. I have always loved you, after marrying you there has never been a man who made my heart flutter other than you. You are the light of my messed up world… you–""Bella!" He thundered as he called my name in order. Glaring at me, he retorted,"Lies. All you say is lies. Do you think I'm blind? I have seen you making out with your male nanny Lucas even after our marriage." "I can… I can explain to you…""I do not want your damn explanation which is nothing just a bunch of made-up excuses to prove yourself innocent," he scoffed as if he gave no fuck about my damn words and proceeded to scold me further. "I can still imagine you riding on his fucking dick even after I killed him with my very own hands. Was your male nanny that attractive to you, huh? You forgot about me!" Oh no, Caspar isn't willing to understand my situation. That time I wasn't aware
BELLA. "Bella, I can't imagine you were so stupid enough to take your life," My brother, Olivier started nagging at me again. "What would have happened if Vincent hadn't informed me about your behaviour!" I lowered my head and just kept nodding, I was still not over the shock. That night I was so emotionally occupied that I didn't even hesitate to take my own life. Thankfully Olivier arrived and I fell right into his arms otherwise I would have ended up with broken limbs or maybe dead. I was blinded in jealousy and thought taking my life would bring Caspar back. The fool I was! I even neglected my daughter. "Bella, why are you quiet? I'm expecting an answer," Olivier gets up from the sofa and walks towards me. Standing tall, in front of where I was seated, he asked,"Vincent, what made her so anxious. Is there anything I'm not able to provide to my little sister?" I immediately looked up at him and denied. "Brother, I'm completely fine. I lack nothing, however I was not myself for
CASPAR."B-Boss,"Alex stuttered as his eyes saw the sight of what I was witnessing. "I-I do not have any idea about this." "That's because Sharapova family is very mysterious family. Nobody has ever extracted all the information on them," Zion interrupted as he watched Bella with child and another man. "They're liquor tycoon family so they have connection with underworld as well as army. And the strange fact about them is, they have no enemies, no competitors in business."I turned back to Zion and gave me a surprised look. "Is Sharapova family the oldest family in Saint Petersburg?""No. No, they are around for 20+ years, that's what amazes anyone." I was surprised but soon I saw that man hugging Bella. My blood boiled as I clenched my fists and got inside the car. "Zion got inside, we are not staying in the villa. Book my flight to New York, I'm returning." Shocked, Alex leaned close to the car's window and asked,"What about the invitation card? Weren't you planning on inviting M
CASPAR."B-Bella…," I couldn't even hear my voice, I was numb and shocked. Fear of losing her made me feel like a stranger in darkness, not knowing or understanding what to do next. My hands started shaking as my brain went blank, my heart raced repeatedly as if it would stop any time soon. Trembling voice called her name again,"Bella… Can you hear me?"DEAD SILENCE I received no response other than silence and sounds of heavy rain. I fell on my knees and dropped the phone on the floor, I covered my face and regretted it. Folding my lips in, I suppressed my tears and emotions. Isn't that what I wanted? I wanted her dead because she betrayed and attempted to kill me! Why am I feeling so dead despite being alive? What's wrong with me? I questioned my actions, I tried to calm down however my heart was not willing to stop any time soon. My head was heavy and I was continuously seeing Bella's body covered in blood. "No. No. She's not allowed to kill herself! I must be the one to bless
BELLA."What?" I heard Caspar's angry growl, he was definitely cursing me for being so shameless. "Do you no longer value your life? You are fucking inviting me to kill you?" "Understand whatever you want, I-I just wish to meet you once…please."I was disrespecting my dignity and begging him for one glance. I must have lost my mind for sure. I was shocked when I heard Caspar's laughter, it sounded like he was having fun listening to my pleading. And as desperate I was, I continued begging him. I don't know what I was even expecting from him…"Bella, don't be so impatient. I'll soon meet you with my wife," he chuckled, hitting the nail in my heart. "You don't have to beg me, I'll make sure to invite you to my wedding with Nancy." My last string of hope snapped and I became sure that he did not care for me anymore. He was blinded by her, the other woman who was not me. "Caspar," I screamed at the top of my lungs, losing my temper. "Caspar, you can't do this to me… you can't marry the
BELLA.My hands started shaking in horror, I quickly changed the channel. Searching for any news channel reporting about Caspar being alive and my thought came true. The remote fell down from my hand as I slapped my mouth in fear and shock. "H-How could he be alive? I-I remember his heart beat stopped after he collapsed in my arms…"My body started turning cold as the spark of life left me and fear haunted me. I refused to believe the news of only one channel. Grabbing the remote from the floor, I anxiously kept changing the channels and everywhere was the same news broadcasting.My body turned numb, I imagined my end was near. Falling on my knees, I watched the anchor talking about Caspar and showing his pictures. My eyes widened in shock when I saw Caspar attending the video interview with the news anchor. "Mr Caspar Mcadam, it's good to see you recovering from the coma," the anchor said and extended her well wishing him. 'Coma?'I repeated under my breath, so all this time he was
BELLA.Olivier's eyes looked at me with sadness and remorse, I could truly sense it. My brother was always a rebellious man, and never obeyed dad's orders and when dad forced his authority on him, he left the house. Hence proving that nobody can order him around. The only person my brother cared about was me. I still remember when I turned 5 years old, he visited me secretly and gave me jewels of diamonds, rubies, emeralds and whatnot that could be associated with luxury. His dangerously handsome face printed in my mind, I never forget him ever since. The only person who spoiled me when I was just toddler and I blame him for my love for materialistic value. "Brother, how old are you now?" I subconsciously asked him an awkward question which he laughed at and replied."I'm 37 years old now, and no I'm not married, I have no lovers and not even interested in one."My sadness disappeared into a smile. I teased him,"You are telling me to believe a mature man who is gifted with beauty i
