The sun rays flashed through the glass and illuminated the room.Bella opened her slowly, she was all by herself on the bed, she closed her eyes once again and the events of the previous night came rushing into her head.While she was munching on the snacks, Arthur had dozed off. She had helped him lie comfortably on the sofa and covered him with a duvet. They had slept in the guest room.Just then, she perceived a familiar cologne. She instinctively knew she was not alone in the room. She sat up and saw him sitting on the sofa with a cup of coffee in his hand. He was casually and dashingly dressed. She studied his face, taking in his brown eyes, his chiselled face structure and strong jaw. He looked relaxed than he was the night before. Their eyes met."Good morning Bella." he greeted dropping his cup of coffee."Good morning." She muttered uneasily, "So unusual of you to be home by this time of the day.""I took the day off." He said flashing his beautiful dentition.Taking a close
"I should be on my way to the hospital." Bella said the moment they had discreetly left Carter's designs and we're out of public glare."Not a good idea, you might be followed." Arthur warned not taking his eyes away from his phone. Their pictures were already making waves with outpouring questions on Bella's intention of being with him and James state of health. "They know about him, that means they know where he is. Do I still need to harbour the fear of being followed?" Bella questioned, a hint of frustration in her voice."They might know about him but won't be able approach him. I have my boys watching him discreetly." Arthur replied while processing his thoughts."I really appreciate your help but am I suppose to just sit and watch? Lucas, let's head to the hospital immediately." "No we can't.""Why?""I'll make arrangement for you to meet him but for now you must hold back, any show of weakness would ruin our plans. We don't even know how the news about James got leaked." "Ho
Confident and poised, Patricia looked stunning in her well tailored designer gown. The air conditioner was doing a great job as it made her office cool. She has an empire at her fingertip.Life is good, she could afford anything she wants but the one person she has eyes for was not in any way interested in her. It felt like a kick to the gut, to the heart. The more she watched him from afar, the more she wanted him and the more he slipped off her hands.Patricia read the headlines with mixed feelings from her tab. "I knew this was going to happen, indecisive bitch. Saying one thing and doing another." She cussed as she glared at the engagement ring on Bella's finger.Her face flushed with frustration, "What an irony, she loves him but thinks marriage is too much of a show. He doesn't love her but would do anything to get married to her. Two losers." She yelled as her eyes narrowed and her brows furrowed."That should be me, you lowlife." She continued glaring as she continue watching
James, startled by a tap on his shoulders slowly opened his eyes."Am I dreaming?" He asked as he took a close look at her. She was dressed in a doctor's coat."No, you're not." Patricia reassured him with a quick smile.He sat up as his face lit up. "It's late so I assume you won't be able to make it anymore since it was late.""I'm one person that keeps my promise. If I say I would come, then all you have to do is expect me." She smiled at him."Why are you dressed like that?" "Thanks to the bodyguards discreetly placed at stragetic places to watch you, I had a hard time evading them and finding my way in." She explained."What do you mean by that? I'm being watched?" James asked in shock."Exactly what I said.""He promised not to keep watch over me." James raised his voice."You can't blame him, I think he changed his mind because of your safety.""I can protect myself, I don't need him keeping tabs on me." He reached out for his phone."What are you doing?""I'm going to tell hi
Lawrence tossed out of bed, taking one more glance at her. She was deeply asleep. Now that he had relieved himself sexually, he found him restless and thinking.No matter how much he thinks of it, it makes no sense she had to lie about her phone running down.It was glaring the fully charged phone didn't shut down itself, she must have powered it off. But for what reason? Except she was hiding something, there was no reason to lie.There was but only one way to find out, he took her phone from the bag and walked down to the living room where he put it on. He put in her password, luckily, it was still the same. They had both agreed to use their anniversary date as password to grant each other access for transparency.A notification came in almost immediately the phone came on, it was from an unsaved number. it reads, "I hope you got home safe?"His hands began to tremble, "is she cheating on me?" Beads of sweat starts to form on his fore head. "It's could be from a lady." He thought.
Patricia walked into her office optimistic, her secretary, Anita walked in with a cup of coffee."Here ma'am." She placed it on the table."Thanks, Anita. What's my schedule like?" Patricia inquired.Anita promptly responded, "You have a meeting with Helen hunt and her team by 10am."Curious, Patricia asked. "What next?""You are meet with William Scoff for lunch by 1pm." Anita answered."Cancel the rest of my schedule after lunch.""Yes ma'am." Anita hesitated contemplating on whether or not she should tell her about the phone she had received.Sensing Anita hesitation to leave, "Any other thing?""I...""If it's not important, you can excuse me. I'm busy as it is.""Yes ma'am." Anita took her leave.***"Arthur, care for a drink?" Lawrence slurry asked as he placed his phone on speaker."Hey man, what's wrong." Arthur could tell he wasn't himself."Never you trust a bitch. Now I understand your reluctance to give your all to Bella. They are the same kind of bitches in the same speci
Patricia used her burner phone to call James."Hello James, I got your message."He recognized her voice, he would never have missed it in a crowd of people. "I've been waiting forever to have you reach out to me.""Sorry I kept you waiting, are you sure about this? You would be putting yourself on your line by doing this.""Thanks for your concern but I can manage " James assured. "I have no business seating on the fence when you're going all out for me. If I have to take a risk to ruin that sham of a marriage and save Bella, I would stop at nothing until it is done.""That's the spirit. Once you grant the interview, Arthur is bound to come after you but like I promised, I'll find you a safe place where you would continue treatment.""Thanks for your kind words, I'll put my trust in you.""Since you've agreed to follow up with my arrangement, it's no longer safe for me to contact you with my phone. Delete all of our conversations and our most recent calls.""Right now?""Right now." P
Edward was dressed in a vintage top and black pant. He had gold chains on his neck and wrist. He also let his hair down looking like a young baron. He had followed Fargo into the casino, he pretended to be watching the roulette wheel spin.He took a moment to study the pattern of security guards stationed at vital points of the casino and the routine of activities.He noticed the VIP lounge was heavily guarded than every other place. He saw Fargo walked in. Of course, he knew he had to play big if he was to get a chance at monitoring Fargo.He headed to the counter filled with chips, he placed a wad of cash on the desk and he was in turn given a basket of chips. "Let's have some fun tonight." He smiled.He watched the clinking of chips and distant laughter filled the air as Fargo sat with other and sipped his whiskey. Arthur had been so sure he would take action one of these days. Edward had also made sure to keep a keen eye on him. He can't be the reason things would go down south.
