The tangled web of love kisses
Episode 35Bella’s POVI got home before Scout, and the house was so quiet, I didn’t even bother changing. I just went straight into the kitchen and started cooking. I made jollof rice and fried some chicken. It wasn’t anything fancy, but it smelled good.After that, I finally went upstairs to freshen up. I kept thinking Scout would walk in while I was bathing or that I’d come out and find him sitting on the bed like he usually does when his back from work. But nope. Nothing.I didn’t want to eat without him, so I just sat on the couch, scrolling through my phone. Before I knew it, my eyes got heavy, and I fell asleep.A soft kiss on my forehead woke me up.I opened my eyes slowly and saw him leaning over me, his face soft and tired. “Scout?” I mumbled.“Yes, babe,” he replied.I sat up and blinked at him, still half-asleep. Then, without thinking, I leaned in and sniffed him. I know, it looked weird, but I had to be sure. I’d been thinking about what Sarah said earlier at lunch. Abou

Episode 36Bella’s POVLately, everything felt good. I don’t mean just okay or manageable, I mean, really good. For the first time in forever, life felt calm and peaceful.Scout was showing me love in ways I never thought I deserved. Morning kisses, gentle forehead pecks, random “I miss you” texts in the middle of the day, back rubs when I complained about work, even the way he looked at me was different. Like I was his favorite person in the whole world.My parents hadn’t bothered me since then. I’d completely cut them off from my life. They forced me into marrying Scout, thinking it would ruin me, but it turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to me.Even Scout’s mother hadn’t popped up recently. Maybe she finally got tired of trying to break us apart. Or maybe she realized I wasn’t going anywhere. Either way, I wasn’t complaining. Peace was rare in my world, and I was soaking in every bit of it now.I was at work, minding my business, going through some files, and reply

Episode 1 Bella’s POV The morning sunlight peeked through my curtains, forcing me awake. I groaned, turning to the other side, wishing I could sink back into my dreams where things made sense, where I wasn’t just existing. But reality had other plans. I stretched, yawning loudly as i listened to the muffled sounds coming from downstairs. Laughter. Excitement. Voices overlapping. I didn’t need to guess why the house had been like this . Ella’s wedding was in two days. Ella, my twin sister. The perfect daughter. The one everyone adored. I sighed, swinging my legs off the bed. It wasn’t jealousy, at least not anymore. I had long accepted my place in this family. I was the extra, the unwanted, the one people barely noticed until something went wrong. My stomach rumbled, reminding me I hadn’t eaten since yesterday. I stepped out of my room and headed downstairs, hoping to grab something quick before anyone could notice me. As I reached the kitchen, I heard my mother’s excited voice

Episode 2 Bella's pov A distant noise echoed in my ears, dragging me toward consciousness, but I clung to sleep, refusing to let go. Sleep was safe. Sleep didn’t hurt. But then A sharp slap tore me from the darkness. Pain burned across my cheek, my skin stinging as my eyes snapped open. My head jerked to the side as the room became blurry before it came into focus. my eyes opened to many faces. My mother. My father ,a room full of relatives. Their eyes bored into me, filled with accusations. I inhaled slowly, stretching as if I hadn’t just been slapped. As if my heart wasn’t hammering in my chest. Crossing my arms, I forced my voice to stay calm. "Why did you wake me up?" But I knew. I already knew. "Where is Ella?" my mother asked, her voice controlled, measured. "I know you hate her. You must have done something to her." She took a step closer, her lips trembling ever so slightly. "Please. Tomorrow is her wedding, just let her go, she pleaded. That word "please." It was w

Episode 3 Scout's pov She woke up with a sharp inhale, her eyes snapped open, wild, and furious. I stood still, watching. She was different. Ella had been predictable, sweet, quiet, and easy to control. She was the kind of woman who obeyed without needing to be told twice, the kind who folded under pressure and never questioned her place. But Bella? Even now, trapped in a room with a man she didn’t know, she carried herself like she had nothing to lose. She sat up slowly, eyes scanning the room, taking in every detail like she was calculating an escape route. Then, just as deliberately, she turned her gaze to me. I leaned back, giving her a moment to adjust, a moment to realize where she was and what had happened. But she didn’t react the way most people would. No screaming, no crying, no pleading for an explanation. Just quiet, sharp awareness. Interesting, I thought. "Nice to meet you, little substitute," I said, letting amusement slip into my voice.I wanted to see her re

Episode 4 Bella's pov The bridal dressing room was suffocating. Soft golden lights, delicate lace, expensive perfumes,it was all meant to be beautiful, but to me, it felt like a prison cell dressed in silk. My stomach twisted as I stared at my reflection. The woman in the mirror looked like me, but she wasn’t me. She was someone else. Someone forced into a life she didn’t choose. I never thought that there could be a day I would be forced into this kind of situation. "Scout, watch your back," I muttered under my breath, pressing my fingers into the vanity. My jaw tightened. This wasn’t over. A makeup artist hovered nearby, shifting awkwardly. "These are your options," she said, gesturing toward a row of gowns. Her voice was careful, like she was afraid I might lash out. "You can choose a different one or wear what Ella picked." "Ella." The name felt weird in my mouth now, like it belonged to another life. Of course, they all knew. The whispers, the scandal,the wrong tw

Episode 5 Scout's pov Bella was wasted. Not tipsy. Not just having a “good time.” She was gone. She twirled in the middle of the dance floor, arms flung wide, laughing like she had just been set free from a cage. Like this wasn’t her own wedding reception but some kind of cruel joke. The hem of her dress dragged, and when she tried to spin again, she almost fell flat on her face. I saw it before it happened, and before I even thought about it, I was moving. My hand caught her arm, steadying her just before she hit the floor. She looked up, eyes glassy but still burning. Still defiant. “You’re making a scene,” I muttered, keeping my grip firm but not tight. Her lips curled, smudged lipstick making her look a little wild. “Am I?” she slurred. “I’m just celebrating my freedom.” She flung her arms out again, nearly knocking over a waiter carrying champagne. He dodged, barely. A few people nearby whispered behind their glasses. I clenched my jaw. “You’re drunk

Episode 6 Scout's pov Sprawled across the bed in her wedding dress, mascara smudged, hair a mess. The earlier drama had settled into silence, leaving only slow breaths and the weight of the moment. I stood in the doorway, staring at her. What the hell was I supposed to do with this? With her? The woman who had spent the entire evening fighting me, spitting venom with every word, standing tall even when it was clear she had nowhere left to go. The woman who, despite everything, refused to be broken. And yet, she has become silent and fragile, a sharp difference from the drame she had caused during the ceremony. I should have been relieved. I wasn’t. Sighing, I pressed the intercom. "Rosie." “Yes, sir?” Her voice crackled through the speaker, steady as ever. “Come to the master suite.” Minutes later, Rosie appeared at the doorway. Her sharp eyes flicked from me to Bella. She didn’t need an explanation. Rosie had been with me long enough to understand things I did

Episode 34Bella’s POVScout and I were getting ready for work. I had barely zipped up my dress when I heard him say, “You’re coming with me in my car.”I froze.“Scout,” I called out, grabbing my bag, walking towards him. “You know if we arrive at work together, people will start talking. Gossip spreads like wildfire in that office.”He raised a brow. “So?”“So, we can’t go together, not yet. You have to understand,” I said gently, hoping he wouldn’t take it the wrong way.His face softened. “You want to keep this a secret?”“Yes. At least for now.”He stared at me for a bit, then nodded. “Anything you want, baby.”And just like that, he leaned in, gave me a soft kiss that left my stomach doing flips, and left for work. A few minutes later, a new driver showed up to take me. He had called me earlier, probably sorting out a backup because I guess my formal driver had quit.The drive to work was quiet, and I spent most of it trying to calm my thoughts. Being with Scout was amazing, bu
The tangled web of love The Morning After..........
Episode 33Bella’s POVI woke up feeling different.The air around me was warm and heavy. My body ached in places I didn’t even know could ache. And then, I remembered last night.Heat rushed to my cheeks immediately.I blinked slowly, adjusting to the soft morning light peeking through the curtains. My head was resting on something firm.Scout.His arms were wrapped tightly around me like he was afraid I’d disappear if he let go. His chest was bare against my back and his breathing was deep and even, his body radiating a heat that made me want to melt all over again.I bit my lip, my heart thudding painfully against my ribs.What have I done? I tried to move carefully, inching away from his grip without waking him. I was too embarrassed to face him.But the moment I lifted the blanket, his arm tightened around my waist."Where do you think you’re going?" His voice was deep and rough from sleep, and way too sexy for this early in the morning.I froze. "Uh… bathroom?"He chuckled, his
The tangled web of love finally
Episode 32Scout’s POVI watched her standing there as she wrapped her arms around herself like she was trying to hold her heart together or something.There was something different in her eyes, though... something soft like she was finally letting herself melt a little.I couldn’t resist anymore.I moved closer in a slow and careful way, giving her every chance to pull back if she wanted to.But this time, she didn’t moveShe stayed right there as I moved towards her.My hand found her cheek, and I cupped it gently, feeling how warm her skin was under my palm.She leaned into my touch without even thinking about it.God,My thumb brushed her cheek so lightly, and I swear my heart was about to explode in my chest.I leaned in slowly, feeling her breath mix with mine. And then finally I crashed my lips on her.At first, it was slow,And I was being careful like we were both scared that moving too fast might break whatever thing was happening between us.But then she kissed me back.
The tangled web of love Almost there.........
Episode 31Scout’s POVI woke up feeling like crap.I was hot and weak, like a truck ran me over. I had seen the signs yesterday, headache, and body pain,but I overlooked it. Thought it was stress, so I thought I was strong enough to brush it off like always.Clearly, I wasn’t.I tried to sit up, but my body didn’t even listen. My head was pounding, and my throat was dry. Everything felt too bright and too heavy.And in the middle of all that, there was bella.I smiled weakly, just thinking about her. For the past few weeks, she had changed. The cold walls she built around herself had started falling. Little by little, I saw it, and I felt it.New York had done something to us. It pulled her closer. It made her laugh around me, roll her eyes when I teased her, push me when I got too cocky. She wasn’t just enduring me anymore. She was starting to see me.And today?She was treating me like a freaking baby.She forced me to eat, nagged me to take my meds, and tucked me in like I was fi

Episode 30Bella’s POVI thought I was dreaming at first. The weight on me, the heat… it didn’t make sense. My eyes fluttered open, and it hit me. Scout was sick . His body was pressed into mine, his arm around my waist like he couldn’t sleep without me anymore.But it wasn’t the closeness that startled me. It was how hot he felt.It's really hot.I shifted carefully, turning to face him. His lips were slightly parted, sweat glistening across his forehead. His brows were pulled together like he was in discomfort.I touched his cheek.“God, you’re burning up…”I sat up quickly, panic bubbling in my chest. He should’ve left for work by now, but here he was, still in bed, sick and barely awake.“Scout,” I whispered, shaking his shoulder gently. “Hey, wake up.”He groaned, eyes barely opening. “Bella… it’s too early…”“No, it’s not. You’re sick, Your temperature is really high,” I said, already reaching for my phone to check the time. Almost 8:30. “You were supposed to leave for work two
The tangled web of love start of something new
Episode 29Bella’s POVWe landed back home, and it felt... weird. Not bad, just... weird.I had to admit it, though I’d been fighting this feeling since we left New York, there was something about being around Scout that made everything feel… natural. Too natural. I should hate this, I should be mad, I shouldn’t even have allowed myself to get this comfortable with him, especially after everything that’s happened. I was forced into this marriage, after all. It wasn’t my choice. It wasn’t supposed to be my life.And yet, here I was, standing in his kitchen, watching him make us breakfast like we were some kind of couple. I hadn’t planned on feeling like this. Hell, I hadn’t planned on anything that had happened since I kissed him in New York.But now? Now I found myself looking at him and realizing that maybe, just maybe, I didn’t mind being around him. The thought made my chest tight. It wasn’t supposed to happen like this. It wasn’t supposed to feel this easy.“Hey, stop zoning out o
The tangled web of love I didn't plan to fall but........
Episode 28Bella’s POVI woke up to the sound of breathing. It was slow and steady, For a second, I didn’t move. My head felt heavy, my mouth was dry, and something soft was pressed against my cheek. My brain was foggy. Everything was too quiet, and yet something felt off.Then I noticed it, The rise and fall of a chest under my cheek. Bare skin and warmth that wasn’t a blanket. My eyes fluttered open, and I lifted my head slightly, and there he was.Scout.He was fast asleep, His face was a few inches from mine. His hair was messy,and his lips were parted, one arm wrapped around me like I was some kind of oversized pillow.Panic punched me in the chest.What the hell happened?I tried to remember last night but all I got were pieces, Loud music, Riri, A guy with slick hair who called himself Ray or Roy and then I got drunk, then when I looked towards scout something flash in my head.I kissed him!Oh my God.I was going to die. Not now, but emotionally? I was already halfway burie
