"Is something bothering you, Bella? You look disturbed."Bella got startled hearing Marcus' voice and the file she was holding fell from her hands in anxiety. "Okay, what's the problem?" He asked, picking the file from the floor and putting it on Bella's desk. "You are definitely not fine, you look pale, what happened to you? Are you feeling sick, Bella?"Bella swallowed the tight lump that formed in her throat and shook her head. "Fi…fine. I am fine. Just a little cold." She answered and opened the file again with her shaky hands. Marcus frowned and held her hand, "You don't look fine at all, and it doesn't seem like a little cold," he said, feeling the warmth of her skin. "You are burning up in fever Bella."Bella palmed her forehead. "I am fine." She whispered."No, you are not," he declared and called the reception on the ground floor and ordered the front desk employee to send the required medicine to him. He snatched the file out of Bella's hand. "Sit down calmly and take a br
Bella couldn't focus on the file contents on her laptop. She was too tied up with her problem and the solution Marcus had given her. She kept thinking about it but then shook her head. She couldn't just go and ask Her boss to help her, could she? No, of course she couldn't do it. She answered her own question. Asking for his help means she had to reveal her past and Bella was not courageous enough to share her dirty secret with her boss. Moreover, Why would He help her? She was just a normal employee, who, according to him, didn't even work efficiently in the office. Bella couldn't even guess why He took her under his wings in Knight company in the first place, let alone predicting his willingness to help her.She had to find some other way, but does she have any other way? She was lost in her thoughts when the ringing sound of a landline on her desk brought her back to reality. Her eyes broadened as she noticed the small red dot after Aaron's name blinking ferociously on the base un
She needed to ask for Aaron’s help whatever it costs. She wiped her tears and thought of going to Marcus to learn something. As she turned, her nightmare was already standing in front of her with the dirty smirk on his face. Bella’s breath hitched and she turned pale looking at Stephan. When did he get here?She was terrified and stepped back but he advanced towards her with a sick smile. He walked close to her and gazed up and down at her with lust and disgust. “So you are spreading your legs for your billionaire boss, huh! Such a bitch you have become with your beauty, darling. But I can always give you more. That's why I'm here.” His tone was sickly desired. “Go away. Don't come close to me.” She stuttered but he only strode to her and yanked her hand before pulling her towards him.“I don't come here to go back, Bella. I won't leave you this time when I get you back by luck. What's your decision? Did you think about it? I want you and I will get you t
"Six years ago, I was in the second year of my MBA. Stephen was my classmate. He asked me out many times but I always turned him down like others because I was more focused on my career. So…" she wiped her tears with the back of her hand and started again, “..he asked to be my friend and I accepted that. He was a nice guy.. or so I thought. Our friendship deepened with time. He always made me laugh and helped me with some college stuff and other things. One day he asked me to go to a club party with him. It was his friend's birthday. I have grown to trust him so I agreed thinking there would be my other friends.…" Bella inhaled sharply through her mouth. She was recalling the time like a flash. "I didn't know it was a vicious plan. There he.. spi..spiked my drink and…and with his friends help he…recorded my nudes…" Bella hid her face into her hands as she kept sobbing recalling that horrid day when she was in her intoxicated state. She behaved like a sex-starving wench. Stephen took
Bella couldn't sleep the whole night. It was five in the morning and she was still awake. No one could understand how much courage she mustered up to reveal her past with him and He dismissed her without any regard.Bella gulped her saliva and sniffed. Her eyes had turned dry after sobbing the whole night. Her sister and grandmother questioned her ashen complexion and shaky behaviour when she stepped into the home yesterday evening but she dodged them lying it was work stress.Bella sat up in the bed pulling her knees to her chest. Every time the clock on her wall ticked her heartbeat inflated with it. Suddenly, her cell phone blinked, Bella flinched at the sound. She looked at her cell phone with fear-filled eyes."Oh Mother Mary…" she whispered anxiously and picked the cellphone to check the notification. Her heart was racing hard as she thought the message was from Stephen.Bella stared at the screen of her phone, numbly. She blinked thrice to make sure she w
Aaron slowly released her lazily. He was in his shirt and pants but the thing was that shirt was fully open exposing his brilliant muscular chest and abs on display. Bella swallowed the thick saliva in her throat.She felt too personal with him like this. Suddenly the air around her turned thick and hot and her fearful thoughts fade away. “Are you done ogling me?” Aaron asked, irritated. “Huh!”She felt stupid for staring at him like a hungry wolf. Aaron crossed his hands over his chest, his muscles flexed by doing so which Bella couldn't ignore. She stood there like a deer caught in the daylight.“I was… Startled. Sorry!” she muttered. “If the breakfast is ready, can you serve me?” He asked, ignoring her unasked statement.She nodded her head and Aaron walked to the dining table. She served him the dishes and waited for him to taste them.“Are you not going to eat?” He asked with a raised eyebrow. Just then her stomach growled as she didn't h
Mrs Aaron Salvatore knight!Mrs Aaron Salvatore.Mrs Aaron…MRS…His words chanted in her mind in repeating mode then suddenly she laughed. “Haha… sorry, I think I heard something wrong...” “You heard me perfectly, Bella!” Aaron said curtly, showing his seriousness and looking at her nervous smile. Slowly her smile waned into a blank look. She blinked up at him. Aaron was gauging her reaction but seeing her jammed on the spot He had to walk close to her and shake her.“Are you alright?” “What did you say?” she whispered with a blank mind. Aaron sighed.“You are going to be my wife and that's my deal to you, Bella Ferrari.” The second after He told her, she fell into his arms, fainting.“Bella! Fuck!” He cursed and held her in his arms before carrying her to the couch to settle her on it. He grabbed the water bottle and sprinkled water on her face. After trying for a few minut
Bella's heart thumped heavily in her chest. Fear and Anxiety gripped her mind tightly in their hold, not receiving his call. But he kept calling her until she accepted it with shaking hands. "My Dear Bella, guess what? I am waiting in the park outside your house. Come down, sweetheart!"Bella sat straight in her bed and clutched the bed sheet tightly in her fist.“You took quite a time to pick up my call, Bella. If you won't come down in a minute, I will post the video on the internet!" "No plea…" she tried to beg but he had already ended the call by then before gritting, “Now!”Bella stood up with lightning speed and ran to meet Stephan.It was already dark outside. The roads were empty, and so was the park. It was not hard for Bella to spot him. She was trembling all over as she walked to him. He had this proud smirk playing on his face, it sickened her when she stood in front of him. "Finally, You are here…" he extended his
