Isabella~"What are you going to do now, Bella?" Xavier's eyes brimmed with curiosity. "I don't know, Xavier; I only have to win Victor's case by hook or crook." I sighed deeply and fixed my gaze on the laptop screen. My attention was drawn to my phone's buzzing sound. "Are you okay, Bella?" I heard James' anxious voice on the call. "Yeah, we are all right, but why did you sound so worried?" I asked him. "I watched the news on TV." After listening to him, I became aware of the impact this news had on my family. They had no idea what was going on here. "Don't worry about us, James; everything is OK." His worry is evident in the weight of his voice. "I feared we lost you both, Bella." I heard him sobbing. "It was part of my plan, James. I am well aware of Jordan Lucas' cruelty. That's why I have already moved out of that house. I don't want any of you to get into problems, so please don't contact me again." I cautioned him once more. "Bella, everyone is concerned about you and

Isabella~ “My lord, Jordan Lucas not only killed Victor Thompson but he also killed two of my staff by burning them alive. He not only took the lives of those two innocent people but he also burned my costly property.” I turned to look at Jordan Lucas with hate-filled eyes. Now he has to pay a high price for his sins. I waited for the perfect opportunity to enter the court so that I could see this fear-filled expression on his face. When I saw Jordan Lucas, I felt retaliation and rage in every cell of my body. How could he burn those two innocent individuals so viciously? I saw no trace of regret in his eyes. His brutality went beyond all bounds. “Objection, my lord, Mrs. Thompson is trying to mislead the case. She is attempting to squander the court's valuable time by involving my client in her latest baseless charges, even though we are here to discuss Victor's case.” Andrew rose from his seat and gave me a furious glare. “Andrew is correct, Mrs. Thompson; your statements seemed

Isabella~The cold water felt like an ointment to my burned skin, but soon I found myself flowing with the river's current. My hands felt numb in the chilly water as I attempted to swim against the stream. I had trouble breathing as water began to fill my nose. I looked around in search of Xavier, but I was unable to find him in the violent current.My body was still in shock from witnessing the car blast. I had never been this close to death before—never felt it breathe against my neck the way it did now. I made every attempt to locate the riverbank so that I could escape the current, but I was unable to do so since my hands and feet were not functioning properly.I heard the roar of the rushing water grow louder, and my swimming became more desperate. I was about to plunge into the waterfall ahead if I didn't exit the river's grip. This river would plummet vertically off the edge. If I didn't get out now, I would tumble down the cliff and that would be the end.I fought the river wi

Isabella~“Xavier!” I shouted when I saw him being carried away by the river current. He reached the same place near the waterfall where I was stuck before. He struggled to come out of the stream, but the river's flow made it difficult for him to swim."Xavier, hold this!" To assist him, I tossed one rope in his direction, but because of the strong wind, it floated in the opposite direction."God, please help us; we can't lose now." I prayed to God, my heart hammering in fear.I wanted to jump into the river to save Xavier, but Jackson grabbed my hand and stopped me. Xavier was still having trouble getting out of the river while holding the drone tightly in his hand. Just in front of the waterfall, he gripped one large stone, taking a few deep breaths to relax himself. He used all his strength to swim against the current."Thank God you're safe, Xavier!" I hugged him as soon as he reached the bank of the river, tears of relief blurring my eyes."Bella, I found it!" In front of me, he

Isabella~“Bella, stop worrying now. The judge will give his verdict after three days. We all know that he will give his verdict in our favor; after seeing the recording of his crime, you need not doubt the judge’s verdict.” He held my hand to stop me from pacing anxiously."Xavier, I don't get a good vibe. I observed how Jordan Lucas looked at us with a mocking smile on his face as if he had already planned something to handle the situation," I voiced out my fear."Bella, I too felt frightened upon hearing his threat, but I believe this was merely a ploy to intimidate us. You tell me what he will do now. If he decides to kill us, it won't benefit him in any way, as the television has already broadcast his crimes." He tried his best to comfort me."Xavier, I know this too, but my heart still feels very heavy." I put my hand on my heart to calm myself."Bella, come on, don't overthink things now; at least take a calm sleep tonight. Wouldn't you agree that we should celebrate our succes
