Belle's POVChristian turned to the lady and patted her knees without an expression of remorse on his face."It's okay, Alex." He said and turned to look at me. "She's not that important."I stared at him in disbelief, words refusing to come out of my mouth. It was difficult trying to get the sight I had just met out of my head.This is what happens when you don't listen. If I hadn't come in, nothing would have been seen."You are not supposed to be in here, Belle." Christian said calmly to me. He wasn't angry that I had caught them, he wasn't even sorry that I had caught them.I turned immediately at his words and walked out of the room and straight into mine, not knowing how I felt about the situation I had just experienced.I quickly performed my nightly ritual of having my bath, washing my hair and cleaning my face, surprised that I wasn't over thinking the entire cheating scenario.Was it really cheating? Did we share real vows when we had signed the contract in the court? I trie

Christian's POV"What do you mean she's about to cause a scene?" I asked, moving away from the door so that nobody could hear me."I saw her at your father's office and managed to bring her here, but she's screaming, sir." She said and after a brief pause, added. "I think she's drunk too."Shit. "Tell security to keep her there, I'm on my way."I said and hung up the phone. "Where are you headed?" My father asked as I took a step. "I told you I wanted to talk to you.""Not now, dad." I said. "I have something to do."I walked away and hurriedly got to my office. Louisa sat at her desk when I entered and stood immediately she saw me walk in."Where is she?" I asked herShe pointed at my office. "Inside. She's calm now sir, I managed to talk to her."When I got in, my mother was seated on the chair, her hands covering her face and her feet tapping the ground."Mum?" I called as I walked to her. She turned to look at me before standing up to her full height."Christian!" She said"Why ar

Belle's POVMicah continued to look from Christian to me with a smirk on his face. I didn't know what to say to him, he was the least person I had expected to meet."How have you been, ma petite?'' He asked, moving forward to place a kiss on my cheeks.I turned to look at the expression on Christian's face, but there was nothing. He just continued to stare at the both of us."What have you been up to Belle?" Micah asked me. "You no longer live around?"I cleared my throat and offered him a smile. We had dated briefly for seven months and decided to move on when our interests no longer alligned."Yeah, I don't." I replied. "I have not been seeing you too though.""I went out of town and just came back some days ago." He replied, still looking at me. Then his gaze shifted to Christian and his smile was replaced by a puzzled look."I know you." He said seconds later, using his index fingers to point at Christian. "I have seen you somewhere in the magazine or the television."Christian of

Christian's POVInside the bathroom, I looked at myself in the mirror while I ran the water from the tap so that Belle wouldn't hear me breathing hard. I couldn't explain what the hell had happened there but I sure knew it wasn't what I had wanted. For days I had been fighting the urge not to rip off her clothes and do with her what I had been dreaming of for quite a long time.Being with her in the same room had been too difficult especially when she was dressed like that. I didn't know if she did it in purpose.At the party, she had looked breathtaking that it was so hard to keep my eyes away from her. That was the sole reason I pretended to be busy, so as not to give in to the urge of touching her and somehow that had been so difficult.After washing my face and relaxing for a while, I walked out of the bathroom, promising myself not to touch her again.She sat on her bed, combing her hair when I walked into the room and I turned to my bed without speaking to her."Gabrielle called

Belle's POVThe look on Alexander's face made it difficult for me to keep staring at him. I had forgotten about that event at the party but of course, things always managed to come back to bite you when you led a life like the Martins."Was this the reason you decided to go with him?" I heard him ask me. "To see your lover and cause shame to my family?"Christian scoffed at him, still sitting in his position swirling his seat. Alexander turned to him, an angrier expression on his face. There was too much bad blood between them that was too clear even for the blind to see."What the hell was that for?" He asked his son."Why are you picking at her?" Christian asked him. "I'm sitting right here, father or is it difficult to take me on." He added.Alexander eyed him, his expression changing immediately."I see no reason why you decided to take her to that event, in fact there was no reason why you went on that event." He said.I already told you the reason why I went, so I won't repeat
