Isabella~

"Bella, what are you doing? How could you get engaged to this bastard?" Xavier came into the party hall just as I was ready to put the ring on James' hand.

My eyes gleamed with happiness on seeing him in front of me. Nine months have passed since I last saw his face. He left my life after discovering the truth, but his final words continued to haunt me to this day. I expected him to fight for his rights, but he left Alan with me without question. His action touched my heart deeply.

I was always scared that, after hearing the truth, he would fight with me for paternity with Alan, but to my surprise, he disappeared from my life in silence.

In his absence, I realized my mistake and regretted my behavior. Victor also felt sorry for lying to him about our relationship.

"How dare you play your dirty tricks on her despite my warnings to stay away from her?" Xavier struck James in the face. Xavier's unexpected strike caused James to fall to the ground, but he rose fast and straig

  • 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

    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

    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
