Reclaimed by the Billionaire Fulfilling the promise
Isabella~"Bella, please listen to me: don't let your emotions overpower you." Xavier trailed behind me, trying to convince me to reconsider my decision."Do you think I am overemotional?" I spun around to face him, my voice shaking. I didn't expect him to accuse me of being overly emotional just because I wanted to reopen Laila's case and bring justice for her."Bella, you are upset now. Please calm down first, and then we will discuss it," he pleaded, his tone soft yet firm. But I could sense the underlying frustration in his words."I didn't want to hear anything from him right now." My frustration boiled over as I shut the door to my room, keeping him out. Tears stung my eyes as I leaned against the door, but I refused to cry. How could he do this to me? I never expected him to hide such a big truth from me. His silence felt like a betrayal.He hadn't told me anything about Dixie and Lincon's divorce, even though I had asked him repeatedly about his strange behavior. And now, Jord

Xavier~"Bella, please listen to me." I trailed her out of the house to prevent her from proceeding to the Supreme Court."Xavier, there's nothing left to say. Just when I need you the most, you're choosing your family over me." She sat in the driver's seat and ignited the car engine."You're misinterpreting me, Bella; I also wish to bring justice to Laila, but not at the expense of Lincon and Dixie's divorce." I pleaded with her to understand me."Thank you once again for clarifying your intentions." She slid the door mirror to close and subsequently departed from the house. In her anger, she refused to allow the driver to operate the car. I don't understand how she is going to drive the car with her fractured leg.I let out a defeated sigh as her car left the house, and I made my way inside."Didn't she even listen to you?" Dad's frustrated voice echoed in the hall as he entered the house."No, Dad." I sat on the couch and shook my head."Xavier, you must stop her at all costs. You

Isabella~"Bella, why are you putting your love relationship at stake in this case?" Uncle Jorawar questioned me when I was about to fill out the case reopening application."Don't worry about it, Uncle. I am aware of my actions. I can not let injustice happen to Laila just because Xavier is not here to support me."I was heartbroken that neither Xavier nor my father was supporting me, but I remained steadfast in my choice."But who will fight this case in the absence of Xavier?" Uncle Jorawar expressed his worry."Uncle, since you are a well-known attorney, why don't you take this case to court?" I pondered for some time and then suggested he fight this case."No, I can't; I don't want to mix my emotions into this case. I can't reopen that old wound, which I am still trying to heal." His eyes were filled with pain as he shared with me his reason for not fighting Laila's case.How much pain must he still carry after all these years? I thought to myself, realizing the burden he bore."

Xavier~"Dad, where is Mama going? Please ask her to stop." Alan shed tears upon witnessing Bella's car leave the house."Alan, don't cry; she will return home." I kneeled to match his height and wiped off his tears. I don't know how this happens suddenly. I never intend to raise my hand against her. I brought him back inside the house and asked Victor to take care of him. I closed the door behind me, collapsing onto the bed. The image of her tear-filled eyes haunted me. What had I become? The very hands meant to protect her had caused her pain. My chest tightened with the weight of my failure. If she left me now, I wouldn't blame her. How could I ask for forgiveness when I wasn't sure I deserved it? My mind kept replaying the moment when I furiously slapped her. I was so overwhelmed by the pressure from everyone that I lost my temper and smacked the woman I had never wanted to hurt in my life."Open the door, Xavier." Dad knocked on my room's door."Dad, I deeply regret my actions

Isabella~"Bella, please think again before making any decision since it's not only about you, but your entire family will be affected by your decision." James asked me to reconsider my decision to leave this house as soon as I got into his car."I have made up my mind; I will not take my steps back." I looked at the closed door of the house and gestured to him to drive the car. The pain from Xavier's forceful slap on my face is still searing my cheek. His slap not only hurt me physically but wounded my soul, too."Where do you want to go now?" he asked me since he had no idea where I wanted to go at this point. After careful consideration, I asked him to drop me off at the hotel."Bella, you can stay with me if you want. I am a friend to both you and Xavier." He looked at me with sympathetic eyes."James, I know you are a good friend of mine, but I am sorry I can't live with you since I don't want to create any misunderstanding between you and Xavier because of me," I explained to hi

Xavier~"Dad, no lawyer wants to fight against Bella in court!" I conveyed this to him in a worried tone."I understand; it is not her fault that she is flying so high; rather, it is my fault that I have given her such large wings. She's flying over our heads now." Dad got off the sofa and returned to his room. He shut the door to his room before I could get inside, even though I wanted to talk to him to calm his nerves.I sat defeated on the couch. Everything was out of my control. I wanted to live a simple life with Bella, but I didn't know I would have to pay such a great price to love her. I struggled with balancing my devotion to my dad with feelings of regret. I have no idea where she is or what state she is in right now. Why did she prosecute Lincoln in this case, adding to the complexity?"Where is Mama, Dad? She didn't receive my call. I want to speak with her." Alan came downstairs, his eyes filled with tears."Why are you crying, Alan? What happened?" I embraced him and for

Isabella~"What have you decided now, Bella?" Victor questioned me as he took Alan to meet me."What would you do if you were in my place?" I folded my arms across my chest and challenged him."Bella, I appreciate your decision, but your commitment to your work has the potential to destroy our whole family," Victor said with a beseeching look, his voice tinged with concern."Family?" I murmured bitterly, the memory of Xavier's harsh slap on my cheek flashing before my eyes. A bitter smile spread across my lips. I heard Dad's heartless remarks as I departed from the residence."I know, Bella, you are deeply hurt, but at least think about your son. He lived five years without his dad, and now you want him to make his life miserable by keeping him separate from his mom," Victor pressed, giving Alan's face a worried glance. Alan was engrossed in playing games on my phone, completely unaware of the storm brewing around him."I can't take a step back, Victor. What will I tell myself—that I

Xavier~"My lord, Miss Luis is attempting to divert attention from this case." Dad stood up from his chair in anger upon witnessing Bella's intense interrogation of Lincon. "She used Lincon's statements against him in court to entangle him and has not provided any evidence in the court till now," he added, his voice brimming with frustration. I'm worried that Dad might lose this case at his first hearing if she doesn't quit immediately. "Objection overruled." The judge’s stern voice echoed in the courtroom. Additionally, the judge forbade Dad from interfering with Bella's questioning of Lincon. "So, Mr. Thompson, according to your wife, you take her on vacation by telling her that this was your private tour, right?" Bella raised her brow, her sharp gaze fixed on Lincon. "Yes." Lincon shook his head and said yes, his voice barely audible. "What are your friends doing on that cruise, then? Are all of your buddies traveling together, or is it just a coincidence?" Bella’s unwaverin

Reclaimed by the Billionaire Substitute Judge
Isabella~“Uncle Joseph.” I jumped from my chair when I saw him sitting on the judge's chair. He was the last person I ever expected him to meet and now he is sitting on the judge's chair. I turned to look at Xavier's facial expression."Bella, I am now sure that we will lose this case," Xavier muttered in my ear upon seeing Uncle Joseph.So this is his evil plan. How cleverly he used our family members to protect himself from getting punished is something truly remarkable. I never assumed that he would find Uncle Joseph as a substitute judge for this case. Now I understand his whole plan. He killed the former judge so that he could involve Uncle Joseph in this case. He was well aware that after submitting solid evidence against him in the court in the last hearing, he didn't have any other option to save himself from getting a death sentence so he changed the judge before he could give his verdict."Begin the court procedure." Hearing the new judge's voice, my internal thought train
Reclaimed by the Billionaire Empty Chair
Xavier~“What the fuck is this? How can he commit suicide just before the verdict is declared in Victor’s murder case?” I raked my fingers through my hair with frustration, trying to process what I had just heard."Xavier, I told you already that Jordan Lucas will do something terrible to protect himself from getting punished." Bella’s eyes filled with worry and fear after watching the news."Relax, Bella, we already submitted solid proof in this murder case, so I have full trust that no matter how much Jordan Lucas is trying to run away from this case, the law will not leave him without being punished for his crimes. All the evidence points towards him, prompting the filing of numerous new FIRs in anticipation of his punishment for his crimes." I handed her a glass of water and patted her shoulder to console her."What are we going to do now? You don't listen to me when I tell you not to celebrate too soon." Tears rolled into her eyes. She has every right to be angry at me; after al

Isabella~“Bella, stop worrying now. The judge will give his verdict after three days. We all know that he will give his verdict in our favor; after seeing the recording of his crime, you need not doubt the judge’s verdict.” He held my hand to stop me from pacing anxiously."Xavier, I don't get a good vibe. I observed how Jordan Lucas looked at us with a mocking smile on his face as if he had already planned something to handle the situation," I voiced out my fear."Bella, I too felt frightened upon hearing his threat, but I believe this was merely a ploy to intimidate us. You tell me what he will do now. If he decides to kill us, it won't benefit him in any way, as the television has already broadcast his crimes." He tried his best to comfort me."Xavier, I know this too, but my heart still feels very heavy." I put my hand on my heart to calm myself."Bella, come on, don't overthink things now; at least take a calm sleep tonight. Wouldn't you agree that we should celebrate our succes

Xavier~I told Bella to hold my hand. We were falling from the waterfall together. We jumped into the waterfall’s flow. I held her hand tightly so I wouldn't lose her this time in the water. We reached the riverbank, and there was a village nearby. We were running late for the court hearing."Bella, are you all right?" I asked. She nodded, but I could see the worry in her eyes. "Don't worry about me; I am all right. We have to reach the court on time." Her breath was heavy, and she looked tired, but she nodded again and gestured for me to continue our walk.We took help from Jackson's father to reach the court. He was working near the courtroom, so we didn't have much difficulty getting there on time. Our clothes were wet after coming out of the waterfall, but by the time of the hearing, we were completely dry. We thanked him and then entered the courtroom."Thank God, we reached today's session on time." Bella looked at the empty judge's seat and sighed in relief."Oh, it seems you t
Reclaimed by the Billionaire Last Hearing
Isabella~“Xavier!” I shouted when I saw him being carried away by the river current. He reached the same place near the waterfall where I was stuck before. He struggled to come out of the stream, but the river's flow made it difficult for him to swim."Xavier, hold this!" To assist him, I tossed one rope in his direction, but because of the strong wind, it floated in the opposite direction."God, please help us; we can't lose now." I prayed to God, my heart hammering in fear.I wanted to jump into the river to save Xavier, but Jackson grabbed my hand and stopped me. Xavier was still having trouble getting out of the river while holding the drone tightly in his hand. Just in front of the waterfall, he gripped one large stone, taking a few deep breaths to relax himself. He used all his strength to swim against the current."Thank God you're safe, Xavier!" I hugged him as soon as he reached the bank of the river, tears of relief blurring my eyes."Bella, I found it!" In front of me, he

Xavier~"Please don't give me to the police. I'll tell you everything." That boy held my hand and pleaded with me, desperation dripping from every word."Tell me the truth, or I will report you to the police." I threatened him again. Although I was thankful for him saving my life, my mind was filled with doubts after seeing him living in this deserted place. Because of the unexpected flood, the government had strictly forbidden people from residing close to the river. Those who disobeyed faced severe penalties and fines for violating the regulation."Tell me, what’s your connection with Jordan Lucas?" Seeing his quietness, I threatened him once again."Jordan Lucas?" He gave me a perplexed expression, genuinely confused."Don't lie. I know he sent you here to keep your eye on us." I narrowed my eyes and gave him a doubtful glance, every nerve on edge."Sir, I don't have any idea who you’re talking about. I’m a student doing my research on submarine life." He quickly handed me his iden
Reclaimed by the Billionaire Turbulence
Isabella~The cold water felt like an ointment to my burned skin, but soon I found myself flowing with the river's current. My hands felt numb in the chilly water as I attempted to swim against the stream. I had trouble breathing as water began to fill my nose. I looked around in search of Xavier, but I was unable to find him in the violent current.My body was still in shock from witnessing the car blast. I had never been this close to death before—never felt it breathe against my neck the way it did now. I made every attempt to locate the riverbank so that I could escape the current, but I was unable to do so since my hands and feet were not functioning properly.I heard the roar of the rushing water grow louder, and my swimming became more desperate. I was about to plunge into the waterfall ahead if I didn't exit the river's grip. This river would plummet vertically off the edge. If I didn't get out now, I would tumble down the cliff and that would be the end.I fought the river wi

Xavier~“Bella, what did you do? I am now sure he will not show any mercy to us.” Jordan Lucas' threats rattled my body. His eyes blazed with anger and retaliation. The moment he saw us in the court, he was fuming with anger. I am well aware of Jordan Lucas' nature. Once he decides something, he will not back out of it, no matter how far he has to go to achieve the desired outcome.“Bella, why did you discuss another case in this court when we already have difficulty handling Victor's murder case?” I looked at her with a complaint-filled gaze. I am well aware that she is not doing anything wrong, but I don't think messing with Jordan Lucas in every situation is a good idea.“Xavier, I didn't have any choice at that time. Can't you see how Andrew argued with us in today’s court session? He is one step ahead of us. He came here well prepared, and we would have lost this case in today's hearing if I hadn't diverted the court's attention to the recent crimes of Jordan Lucas.” She sits on
Reclaimed by the Billionaire One last chance
Isabella~“My lord, Jordan Lucas not only killed Victor Thompson but he also killed two of my staff by burning them alive. He not only took the lives of those two innocent people but he also burned my costly property.” I turned to look at Jordan Lucas with hate-filled eyes. Now he has to pay a high price for his sins. I waited for the perfect opportunity to enter the court so that I could see this fear-filled expression on his face. When I saw Jordan Lucas, I felt retaliation and rage in every cell of my body. How could he burn those two innocent individuals so viciously? I saw no trace of regret in his eyes. His brutality went beyond all bounds.“Objection, my lord, Mrs. Thompson is trying to mislead the case. She is attempting to squander the court's valuable time by involving my client in her latest baseless charges, even though we are here to discuss Victor's case.” Andrew rose from his seat and gave me a furious glare.“Andrew is correct, Mrs. Thompson; your statements seemed un
