Bella's mouth hung open as she stared at Nicholas Calvin's huge mansion, she had never seen anything like this and even before stepping inside, she already felt so out of place. She had been stunned when Daniel had told her that they would be attending the anniversary of his father and had given her a quite expensive dinner gown to wear to the party. She had been hesitant about the gown because first and foremost, it was way too expensive and higher than their budget but Daniel had told her that she had no reason to worry because he bought the dress on credit and would have to pay in installments.The party was boozing with the rich, all glamorous and classy and Bella felt out of place even when she was dressed in such an expensive dress, she felt she did not have the poise and carriage of a rich and classy lady.Heads turned as soon as Daniel and Bella entered the Calvin's mansion, the party was being held in the garden, and with Bella's hand in his arm, Daniel led her into the garden

"where are we?" Bella asked as they stopped in front of a big mansion, she was nervous when Daniel started going in like he owned the place, she knew that it's not possible for him to own such a big mansion hence, she was curious, "are you breaking into someone's house?"Daniel scoffed at her question, "Don't you see I am opening each gate and door with a key? Is that how to break in?""Oh well...so?""This house belongs to a friend of mine, he is currently out of the country and wants me to occupy it until he comes. his only condition is to take good care of it"Bella gasped in awe as he opened the door, the inside of the house left her speechless, "I...I...never knew you had a friend who is this rich""Er...em.... yeah.... actually, this is the only house left to him by his mother, and his mother had inherited it from her parents""Oh, I see" Gingerly, she sat on the sofa while Daniel went to the bar and brought a bottle of wine "Do you think we should be drinking his stuff?""Trus

"Damn", Daniel cursed as he pushed Bella behind a street pole just as a bullet whizzed past her ears, he didn't even come out with his gun and so could not return fire. With what Bella had told him, he was certain that his father was behind this.He gazed around for what to do. If they don't leave here, the shooter will be able to get to them very soon. He sighted a flower roll and whispered in her ears"I'll count to three, then you'll make a run for that flower roll and I'll distract whoever is shooting at us""No Daniel, I....""One...two...three..." He counted, not minding her outburst, and pushed her towards the flowers. Bella made a mad dash for it, she had never been so scared her whole life. She had been hurt, betrayed, and lost faith but had never been so scared, she finally hid behind the flowers as Daniel had instructed her and gasped for air. Damn, what's wrong with her? Why does her heart hurt so much? Her breath came out in a painful gasp, it was as if the air was being

Daniel was tired and really needed to go home and rest, he hadn't rested for weeks because he had been constantly on the trail of those shareholders and now that he had succeeded with his plans, he just needed to unwind. "How dare she lock me out of my own house" he gritted as he banged on the door. He used to have servants and cleaners everywhere in this house but he had to tell all of them to leave so as to maintain his status in the eyes of Bella, although, he didn't stop paying them, he had asked them to go on vacation until he sends for them and not once had one of them dared to lock him out, even though he didn't return for a month, the door is always opened to whenever he comes back and his new wife now thinks that because he hadn't been back home for days means she can lock him out?He banged on the door once more but harder and after a moment, the door opened dressed in her nightie looking like someone who had just woken up"The nerve of you to lock me out of my house and go

Bella walked nervously with a steaming cup of coffee, Brittany had told her that the owner of the company was Nikolai Klaus, does it mean that she would see the mysterious king of the underworld today, would he be as handsome as Brittany had imagined? For some reason, she was eager to see the infamous Nikolai Klaus.Unknown to her, the rope at the back of her dress was slowly getting loosed as she innocently walked towards the office she was told was the president's office.Her stomach tightened in nervousness as she knocked on the door once, she heard "come in" from the other end and opened the door to see her husband standing by the window and going through a piece of paper in his hands."Daniel, what are you doing here?" She asked in confusion but the door suddenly opened and another male entered the office. She was so startled by the unexpected appearance that the steaming coffee slipped from her hands and poured right on the man. He hissed in pain as hot coffee scalded his hand"
