Isabella~

"Bella, why are you so stubborn?" When I finally open my eyes, I'm lying on top of the file stacks. Fortunately, he threw the heavy files, which I had given him to hold, onto the floor, making it easier for me to retrieve that specific file.

"Let's go." Despite the agony from falling in my ankle and lower back, I can't help but be excited to receive that specific file. I attempted to stand up from the floor but was unable to do so due to my ankle pain.

"Let me help you." He reached out to touch me, but I didn't want to accept his assistance in keeping my body in balance.

I can do it on my own. I don't want to be reliant on him like I was in the past. That's why I didn't allow him to help me in searching the files I wanted to read.

"No, Mr. Thompson, I will manage." I tried to stand up again by pushing my body, but I was too pained to do so.

"Bella, why are you behaving so stubbornly? Your ankle turned blue due to swelling. Why don't you allow me to assist you?"

"No, Mr

  • Reclaimed by the Billionaire    Lincon's attack

    Xavier~"Bella, please stop." I ran behind her to stop her, but she locked the door outside and started her car. I ran towards the window to jump out of it and go outside, but I heard Nathan’s whining in pain and stopped. He had shot his arm and I can't leave him alone in this condition. His arms were bleeding profusely.But Bella, I have to stop her. She put her life in danger once again by leaving the house at night with my pistol. Now I regret showing her my pistol. If someone tries to stop her today, I fear she will use that pistol to shoot them.I dialed the doctor’s number and requested him to visit my house as soon as possible."Please open your eyes, Nathan. The doctor will arrive soon." I splashed water on his face to keep him conscious."Xavier, don't worry about me. Go behind her; her life is in danger." He speaks between his groans."Don't close your eyes; the doctor is on the way." I found myself in a difficult situation. I can't leave Bella alone, but I also don't want t

    Isabella~"Where are we heading, Xavier?" I questioned him when he turned the steering wheel in the opposite direction of our house."We are going to see a doctor." He replied while firmly holding the steering wheel and locking his gaze on the road."But why? I am perfectly fine." I looked at him in confusion."Bella, I will not listen to any of your excuses when it comes to my baby's health. I must ensure my infant's well-being." He stopped the car in front of the hospital. I sighed deeply on seeing his care for his baby. I have no choice but to follow his instructions quietly, as I cannot ignore the wrinkles on his face when he looks at my belly."Xavier, can we go now? I want to sleep now." After the doctor assured him that the baby was perfectly fine in my womb, I asked him to return to the house."Bella, I warned you already to not get involved in this case, but you ignored my advice, and now you see what happened. You purposefully put yourself in danger by inviting more threats.

    Xavier~“Lincon, when did you come out from prison and what are you doing here?" When I saw him in the courtroom, wearing a lawyer's uniform, my eyes widened in disbelief."My apologies, my lord; I apologize for interrupting the court hearing, but I will now proceed with prosecuting this case." He submitted his documents to Uncle Joseph. Uncle Joseph read the documents carefully and then signaled him to sit in the prosecutor's chair."Mr. Lincon, please proceed." Uncle Joseph requested him to take Alicia's murder case in his hand."Thank you, my lord." He bowed his head and his lips curled into a victorious smile. His victorious smile indicated that Jordan Lucas had devised a new plan to stop us."Please continue your interrogation, Miss Luis." Uncle Joseph signaled Bella to continue her interrogation with Lisa."Thank you, my lord." She nodded her head and then turned her attention to Lisa once again.My pulse increased on seeing Lincon in the courtroom. I was already nervous about t

    Isabella~"I hope you have some solid evidence today to present in the court, Miss Luis."Uncle Joseph sat on his chair and turned to look at me before I got up from it to present the opening statement. The sensation of his piercing gaze on me made me feel even more anxious.I masked my nervousness behind my confidence so that Xavier would not feel demotivated by this case. Although I have evidence to prove Xavier’s innocence in court, Uncle Joseph is more focused on finding the real culprit than on Xavier’s innocence in Alicia’s case.My body tensed even more when I felt many gazes fixed on me as I got up from my chair.Xavier’s eyes fixed on me with hope and curiosity. Nathan looked at me with admiration and support. Uncle Joseph looked at me with anger and disappointment. But one more pair of eyes fixed on me—and that bothered me most: Lisa Morgan, my stepmother.She is a key witness in Alicia’s case, and Nathan is going to interrogate her in today's court hearing, according to Jor

  • Reclaimed by the Billionaire    Her New Strategy

    Xavier~“Xavier, if you dare to stop me from doing my work, then I will abort this child.” Her words are still echoing in my head.How can she say such harsh words? Does she not want this child?My heart had not recovered from the old wound yet, but she gave me one more fresh wound. I can't overcome what I saw on the pen drive, and now Bella warned me to stay out of her business. She didn't even discuss her strategies for this case with me.Alicia was betraying me from the beginning, but I didn’t find out. From the beginning, she was in a romantic relationship with Jordan, but I never doubted her. Today I am ashamed of myself for being so blindfolded in her love.I wish I could return to the past and erase every memory of Alicia. It’s a good thing that she died before I came to know about her real face. I would kill her this time without hesitation if she were still alive today.Angrily, I stabbed the cucumber with the knife until I noticed that the cucumber juice had soaked my finger

  • Reclaimed by the Billionaire    Threatening him

    Isabella~"Xavier, pass me the water bottle," I murmured in my sleep, feeling thirsty during my sleep.But Xavier did not pass me the water bottle, and I didn't feel his warmth when I turned to put my head on his chest. Feeling his absence on the bed next to me, I opened my eyes."Where is Xavier?" I sat down on the bed and searched the room for him.I turned to check the time on the wall clock when I noticed the sunlight outside my room.Oh god, how could I sleep until 8 in the morning?I immediately jumped out of bed when I saw the time. I have lots of work to do today, so I hurried to the washroom for morning rituals.I changed into a cozy outfit after taking a bath and exiting the restroom. I feel frustrated nowadays with tight clothes, and I like loose, comfortable clothes to wear—maybe because my baby likes such comfy clothes."Xavier." I came out of my room and called for Xavier, but he didn't respond to me.Where did he disappear to today?I looked for him in the kitchen and
