CHAPTER FORTY ONE

~ISABELLA~When I looked into my bag, I saw a red note and took it out.“Don’t be afraid, there are no hidden cameras. I already bribed the security men guarding your house. So call me with the burner phone,” The note read.I couldn't help but smile because I had never imagined that Susanna could be this smart.I rechecked my bag and saw the burner phone. When I turned it on, her number was saved but with a different name.So I called her immediately.“Bel Sweetie, I saw that Jackass slap you. Are you okay?” Susanna picked up after the third ring.I got so emotional hearing her voice, and not just her voice, but the concern and worry in it.It gave me hope again.These days, I had been feeling lonely because I couldn't reach Ella and she hadn't contacted me either.I felt abandoned.All these thoughts and emotions made me burst into tears. I was grateful to Susanna for not giving up on me or abandoning me.“I swear to God, I’ll make that son of a bitch pay for everything he has done.

CHAPTER FORTY TWO

~ISABELLA~“One among the people I reached out to who brought Jax to me, secretly told me that Jax was furious when he was told that I was siding with you. He then told me that Jax might kill you and make it look like an accident even after the contract between you gets terminated,” Susanna explained.The thought of dying made me shudder with fear.Did what Susanna said mean that she didn't want me to leave Jax?My face scrunched up with worry and confusion.“Really?” I managed to say and then swallowed with fear.“Yeah. He said Jax holds a serious grudge against you and Adrian. According to what he told me, Jax doesn't let go of a grudge unless he kills the person. The only reason why he hasn't been able to do anything to Adrian is that he is in the Belkov family,” She explained.It all made sense now.Jax couldn't bring himself to kill Adrian all these years after that fateful day because Adrian became a Belkov.That was why he requested that I should kill Adrian if I wanted our con

CHAPTER FORTY THREE

~ADRIAN~Why was my foster Mom still siding with Isabella even after she knew all about what Isabella had done?I was in my room when a notification popped up on my screen, and when I checked it, I frowned wondering why my foster mom transferred such a huge amount into my account.When I went to her, she told me it was the money Isabella’s brother owed me.Wasn't she supposed to be supporting me? I mean, this Isabella broke my heart for the second time.I forgave her the first time but this one hurt me more and I wasn't sure I’d ever forgive her again.However, my foster mom refused to accept Ashley and honestly, I couldn't blame her.That night I brought Ashley to see her, she wasn't hostile towards her but she wasn't happy either.Ashley spent the night at our house that day, and the next morning, as early as 7, my foster mom and I were heading to the dining table for breakfast after I asked a maid to go call Ashley.But to our greatest surprise, Ashley was in the sitting room smoki

CHAPTER FORTY FOUR

~ISABELLA~Seeing Adrian this time around hit different.Do you know why?Because this time around, he wasn’t the only one doing the hating. I was doing it too.It wasn't like before when he hated me while I foolishly kept loving him.This time around I hated him just as much as he hated me.I hated him for giving up on me easily because it showed that his feelings for me weren't as strong as he had made me believe.I regretted ever caring about him enough to enslave myself.If not for his foster mom who helped me, I was sure I wasn't going to be able to be rid of Jax.Nevertheless, my marriage with Adrian was going to be bearable since I had his foster mom on my side.“Make yourself at home sweetie. If that Ashley girl tries to lash out at you, show her that you're Adrian’s legal wife. You have my full support,” She placed her hand on her chest and smiled.I couldn't stop my lips from curving into a smile because Susanna was just a blessing in my life.“Thanks Mother,” I smiled and s

CHAPTER FORTY FIVE

~ISABELLA~“Congratulations you two,” Susanna smiled in delight. “Now all we are missing is the kiss.”Julia just stood there smiling with dreamy eyes. I guess she hadn't realised that this marriage wasn't for love.“Kiss?” Adrian glared at her and mouthed something through gritted teeth but Susanna acted like she didn't see that.“Are you both old skool or something? What is a marriage without a kiss? A kiss is what seals the whole thing,” She exclaimed and facepalmed.Now this was where the problem came from. I hated Adrian so why did the thought of kissing him make my heart begin to race in anticipation?This made me realize that it was going to be a bad idea.“C’mon, mother. Not here. I’m kinda shy,” I faked a shy smile but she didn't buy that.“Is this too much to ask from my precious son and my beautiful daughter-in-law?” Susanna asked Julia and the man who attended to us.They both shook their head in negation before the man who attended to us turned to Adrian and said“Mr Belk
