The tangled web of love walking into his trap
Episode 9Bella's povI dragged myself through the front door, my body aching from the long day at the job hurting and shaking hands that barely met mine halfway. The exhaustion settled deep in my bones, but it wasn’t just physical,it was the weight of everything, of feeling stuck, of knowing I had to keep pushing because stopping meant suffocating.My heels clicked against the cold marble floor as I kicked them off, sighing in relief. The house was quiet, but I knew better than to let that lure me into a false sense of peace. Scout had his ways of making his presence known, even in silence.My stomach grumbled, reminding me that I hadn’t eaten since morning. I made my way to the kitchen, tying my hair up in a loose bun. Cooking was one of the few things I still had control over, something that gave me a momentary escape from the chaos of my life. i grabbed a pot, filled it with water, and set it on the gas to boil. I decided to make pasta. Simple, easy, and filling. I rummaged throu

Episode 10Bella’s POVMorning arrived too soon, dragging the weight of the night with it. But today was different. Today was my first day at Apex Group.For the first time in a long while, I felt a flicker of excitement, a nervous kind of energy buzzing under my skin. I wasn’t just waking up to exist,I was waking up with purpose.The house was quiet, which means Scout had already left for work. A small victory and a moment of peace.I moved through the kitchen, brewing coffee, frying bacon, which was a simple and normal thing that made me feel human again. The scent of breakfast filled the air, warm and familiar, pushing away the lingering unease that always clung to me like a second skin.As I ate, a small, unexpected smile tugged at my lips. Today, I’d be out there, in the world, meeting people, doing something that wasn’t dictated by him.For a few precious hours, I would be free.I finished up and got ready, every movement fueled by the silent promise I made to myself, This is a

Episode 11Scout povA sharp satisfaction curled through me as I replayed Bella’s expression from earlier in my office. That moment when frustration and anger had overtaken, her composure had been delicious to watch. She finally understood.She knew now, without question, that she was trapped.There was no way out, no trick she could use to slip free. She was tied to me, and I could see the weight of that sinking in, undeniable, and unshakable.I had won.The rest of the workday passed as i attended to the paperwork, calls, meetings, and things that normally demanded my attention. I felt like nothing more than distractions. My mind kept circling back to her. To the quiet defiance in her eyes. To the way she had tried to hide her emotions beneath a thin layer of professionalism.She thought she could keep up the act. Thought she could convince me she was fine.But I had seen the cracks.I pressed the intercom button on my desk. “Ben, get the car ready.”Bella entered my office as i had

Episode 12 Bella's POV I rolled over in bed, unwilling to let go of the sweet dream I had been having. It was one of those rare, comforting dreams where everything felt safe, easy, and warm. But reality had other plans. My eyes fluttered open, adjusting to the morning light filtering through the curtains. Today was saturday, A part of me felt relieved that I wouldn’t have to deal with Scout today. The past week has been exhausting, mentally, emotionally, and even physically. Just when I thought I had a say in my own life, Scout would remind me that he had already planned everything out for me. It wasn’t fair. This wasn’t the life I wanted, yet I felt powerless to change it. I glanced at my phone and groaned. I had slept in much longer than usual. The house was eerily quiet, which only meant one thing, Scout wasn’t home. A small smile tugged at my lips. Finally, some peace. I slipped out of bed and walked to the bathroom, After a quick shower, I slipped into something comfortable

Episode 13Bella's POV Scout had different cars, and this time, it was the most expensive car he picked.We arrived at the event, and the place was buzzing with the crowd . We got out of the car, and he held my waist, As soon as we stepped out, all eyes were on us. I didn't even know if it was gossiping or normal talk. I smell drama. My eyes were scanning everywhere, so many unfamiliar faces, until my eyes caught my parent my breath siezed. What were they doing here? Were they invited? Oh, my darling son, Lucy Scout's mother, walked up to Scout and hugged him. Scout's reaction was priceless, not the typical mother-son relationship. Then she looked at me and eyed me. And then she pulled me away from Scout into her group of friends.This is my daughter-in-law law she said and I almost burst out laughing.Wasn’t she the one who had eyed me earlier? Oh my, she looked skinny, one of them had said, but I wasn't in the mood to reply to them. If you would excuse me, I

Episode 14Scout’s POVI wasn’t sure why I did it. Maybe I wanted to test her. Maybe I wanted to see if she would react. Maybe, just maybe, I wanted her to be jealous.Jealous.Was that the right word?The moment I let Tiana flirt with me, I kept glancing at Bella from the corner of my eye, waiting and Watching, Wondering if she would care.Then it happened.She marched up to a guy and started flirting right in front of me.

Episode 15Bella’s POVI couldn’t believe what had just happened. Scout had taken advantage of me. The weight of that realization settled deep in my chest, suffocating me. I hated that I hadn’t been able to stop him, that I had just stood there, powerless. Was this how it was going to be from now on? How long would I have to endure this?I found myself in a quiet, unfamiliar room. My head was spinning, and my heart was pounding so hard that it echoed in my ears. I didn’t even know where I was. The walls felt like they were closing in on me, pressing against my skin, making it hard to breathe.I wiped my tears away quickly, but I hated that he had seen them. I hated how Scout had shamelessly flirted with Tiana right in front of me, as if I wasn’t even there. We were married, even if it was just a fake marriage. Did that not mean anything to him? Did he really have to disrespect me like that?And then, there was that kiss.I touched my lips, the memory of it still burning there. He had

Episode 16Scout’s POVI clenched my fists as I carried Bella in my arms, my jaw tightening with frustration. What if i had been a minute late. Just one damn minute something could have happened to her, and if I had arrived sooner or faster, I could have stopped whatever had happened to her. The thought made my stomach twist with anger.She looked so fragile in my arms, her body limp, and her face were pale. It wasn’t like her. Bella was always fierce, always standing her ground. But right now, she looked defeated.I laid her gently on the bed, brushing a few strands of hair from her face. Her skin felt cold. Too cold.I exhaled sharply, trying to calm the storm brewing inside me. Whoever had done this to her was going to pay. I was going to make sure of it.Before I could dwell on the thought, my phone buzzed, Ben.I stepped out of the room and answered, my voice sharp. "Tell me you found something."Ben sighed on the other end. "Sir , it’s worse than we thought."I gripped the phon

The tangled web of love gossips...
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

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

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

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

The way she looked at me… the way she interrupted when I was talking to Riri, something was off.Was she… jealous? Had she Started falling for me.I wasn’t even trying to make her mad.

Episode 26Bella's POVThe party was already in full swing when we arrived. Lights glowed softly against the walls, music played gently in the background, and people stood in clusters, sipping on wine and sharing laughs. It was elegant and overwhelming, I suddenly felt like I didn’t belong.Scout, on the other hand, blended right in. He looked like he owned the place, like the tailored brown suit he wore was made just for this kind of atmosphere. He had that natural confidence, the one I sometimes envied. He walked ahead of me and greeted a man and a woman with a firm handshake and a nod.I followed his lead, standing just slightly behind him, unsure whether to speak first or wait to be spoken to.“Scout! Always good to see you,” the man said warmly. Scout and the man walked away discussing business.Then, the woman turned to me with a bright smile. “Hi, I’m Sharon.”“I’m Bella,” I said softly, returning her smile, trying not to look awkward.“You look so beautiful,” she said, her
