She raised her head to see who it was. It was Raymond. He came back. She quickly stood up before he changed his mind."Hi - can I?" She tried to get in. Raymond looked and thought she was familiar, so he nodded for her to get in. She got into the front seat and greeted him politely. The music playing in his car shows he was really a shameless thug. She stared at his white body, which was covered in tattoos.She had seen him before, but she had never been this close. I and Raymond had our meetings where no one would listen or be present.'He looks scarier than i thought. Wait, did he tattoo his face as well?' Alexia swallowed hard. She wasn't comfortable around him, but she needs Ray's help. She stared at him while he moved his head as he was vibing to the song in his car. He was singing along and she was scared of interrupting him."You look familiar." He finally broke the silence. Even his voice sounded scary.'Where did Bella get this dude from?' Alexia thought and faked a smile.
BellaMy bodyguards placed my suitcase at the back of the van while I got in. I wore black shorts, a black loafer, and a blue chanel top. I had a light makeup on while my hair was neatly packed.My driver took me to the office first. I had to sign some important documents. We arrived at the Aldama Group, so I went straight to my office to sign the documents. I finished everything within ten minutes. I walked back with my bodyguards still behind me. Just as they opened the door to my van for me to get inside, I heard my name from a distance. My eyes widened as he walked close and gave me a warm hug. "Thank goodness. I thought you left already." He kissed my cheek and sniffed my smell."Brown?" I was stunned to see him in my company. And the hug? It caught me off guard. Just as he was about to talk, I heard a familiar voice behind me. "Bella." That was Reggie's angelic voice.He wore a casual trip cloth, but his saint was alluring.I bit my lower lip and stared at the two brothers. "W
I wasn't ready for this! So Bruno held my hands and got into the river, leaving them to argue all they wanted. "Careful, ma'am." One of my bodyguards said as we all walked through to the other side.Reggie and Brown were so engrossed in their silly fights they didn't realize we had left them. Alexia's last text didn't go through due to a poor signal. She raised her head and realized I had left."Stop! Bella left already." Alexia said to the two brothers who just realized I left them. "This is all your fault!" Brown pinned the blame on Reggie, who just got into the river without giving him a response.After a few walks, we all arrived at our destination. The workers on the farm welcomed us and took us to our rooms. But there was one problem. They had just three rooms left, and we were more than that. We couldn't get a hotel because the village was uncivilized and there were no hotels."It's fine, Bella. We would share one room," Brown said.Hearing this, Reggie and I stared in total as
My battery has been dead since we got here, and I haven't been able to get in contact with my family or employees. Bruno had helped in boosting the battery but then, there was no signal. I sighed in frustration and walked out, trying to get a good network so, I'd be able to get in touch with Mr. Henry. He was now my new client and I can't lose him to Reggie this time.Reggie got out with a sleepy face. He stood at his entrance staring at this body, which now had tons of mosquito bites. One could tell he wasn't used to places like this. Just then, Alexia walked right behind him and smiled like she was his wife. She was acting so shameless. She didn't even care about my feelings. "Bella!" Reggie and Brown called at the same time. I heard and walked far from them. My heart was too hurt to listen to some pointless argument! "Are you hungry?" Brown asked."Yeah, I'd make breakfast for you. What would you like to eat?" They both asked as they got in front of me.I shook my head and igno
"Nevermind…. Just forget I said that." I took a deep breath. Setting his warehouse ablaze might ruin his entire company. That's not what I want."Ma'am? You mean I shouldn't push through with it?" He asked, waiting for a response."Yes… yes, I don't wanna get myself involved in such things. Forget I ever said that. You may leave." I waved my hand and walked into the restroom.I got back home as late as 8 pm only to see some police officers in my living room.Christa gave me a warm hug the moment I walked in, but I was more concerned with the cops in my house. I told Korozon to take her upstairs as I turned to the cops.Just as we exchanged greetings, my aunt walked in with concern written all over her face."Good evening, Miss Aldama." Three of them greeted me and I gestured for them to have their seats. My Aunt sat close to me as we heard what the cops had to say."Do you know this man? His name is Raymond Ibarra." The chief of police asked, showing me a familiar picture. I took and g
Alexia~FLASH BACK~I walked out of the mansion while Bella was almost done with her makeup. I had to look for a way to accompany her to wherever she was going. I knew if I told her she might not allow me. what's worse? Aunt Esperanza would object. I need to put that old hag in her place, and I need to do it soon.Four security officers were outside, but they weren't looking this way. Luckily, her bodyguards were inside, except for Bruno, who was sitting at the driver's seat."Bruno?" I called as I got close to the car. He removed his glasses and turned to give me a response. "Yes? Do you need anything?""Not - not at all." Wait, why was I stammering? I need to act cool. I took a deep breath and continued. "Bella asked to see you. I think she needs your help with something." I tried to hide my nervousness."That's impossible. She asked me to prepare the car. Are you sure?" His eyes were full of suspicion. My plan didn't work. Just as I was about to talk, he stood up to leave. "Just pra
Angelica stood to welcome him. They shook hands and took their seats. Money was indeed very good! Anyone can be bought, as far as you're willing to triple the initial amount one is used to. Then, you're good to go."So, you were with Bella the whole day. Has she been arrested? Jailed? - sentenced to life imprisonment?" Angelica asked. That was her only aim for eliminating Raymond the night she did. There was no other place except the Aldama estate. "Calm down, Angelica. Don't be too hasty…. You would have to kill Brown first before you can think of doing that." Monica scolded. Angelica and Brown may be partners in separating Bella and Reggie from each other, but she has her way of going behind Brown to make Bella suffer.Angelica ignored Monica and turned to Bruno. "She wasn't even allowed to step her foot in prison. Her uncle, Don Maximo, didn't even allow that. The moment she was arrested for interrogations, he went to the station to clear her name and all. Don Maximo isn't an ordin
BellaMy nightmare is finally here. It's Brown's big day. The day he had always wanted and waited for. our wedding day.My mansion was filled with different people. The ladies in charge of my wedding dress, the makeup artist, and a few of Aunt Esperanza's guests. Alexia was in Christa's room, helping her get dressed while Aunt Esperanza was in her room, getting dressed.My room was filled with different lights, jewelries, shoes and also different dresses I'd wear at my wedding reception. My car was ready and set to take me to the church. I already got a call from Brown that the rest of our guests were already present at the church and they were waiting for my arrival. On the TV, I heard the news about my wedding. Some reporters were already present and giving the world something to talk about. I sighed and stared at my reflection as the make-up artist was almost done when Don Maximo walked in. **PREVIOUS NIGHT**Reggie had gotten everything investigated. Stone was sure a reliable
