Bruno stopped and opened the door of my Bugatti La Voiture Noire. I walked into the building of the popular Smiths corporation.The elevator split open and I walked out heading straight to the boardroom which was on the 10th floor. I got in and gently took my seat. Being the CEO, Reggie sat in front while the rest of us sat not too far from him. His staff did their presentation, and I was quite impressed. Alexia walked in and gave Reggie some files. We exchanged glances and pretended not to know each other.I had instructed Alexia, my best friend, to work as his secretary and to give me all the necessary information I needed to bring his company down.I was stunned at the information she gave me. Reggie's company was the top and best wine brand, not just that, his business was growing as he gave his best to his clients. How was he doing so well when I was in this city? Since he deals with wine, I had an interest in his business. I had to be his partner and also the newest member of
Angelica's PovI stood up to welcome my husband's attorney, Mr. Zack.All I needed was Renato's wealth, although marrying him was sweet. I politely told Mr. Zack to have a seat, right after we shook hands. We talked about my husband's property and how I needed to get my hands on those documents."My husband is now in the asylum. Don't you think it's best if I have the documents to his property?" After all, it was the only reason I got married to him, anyway.But he wasn't ready to let me have his son at peace. He monitors my every move.Now, I can't tell if Reggie still loves me or not. He keeps pushing me away these days. So, I had to take his father out of the way. By giving him different drugs to make him lose his mind. He had no idea I was secretly putting the drugs into his food and drinks. The drugs were so effective, he went crazy in no time. Before killing him, It's best to get his documents first. At least, before his sons get to find out. Especially, Brown, he's too
Bella's povWhile in my office at the Aldama Group, I received a call. It was Melissa, I had employed her to make sure Angelica spent every dime she had in the casino."I made sure she visits the casino every day ma'am," Melissa said on the other end.She was good, she goes out of her way to make sure Angelica doesn't go a day without visiting the casino. With a satisfied smile, I said, "Good job." I dropped the call and collected a file from Nadia, my secretary. She slowly walked out as I glared at the file. It was a document that needed my signature. I was about to sign when I heard my phone ringing again. I turned and saw the caller ID was Raymond, my loyal thug, he helps to get any illegal job done and he always gives the best in what he does. "Ray? Yes, I need you to go to the cross cemetery. Buy a coffin, dig a grave with 'Maya Lawrence' written on the surface. Make it look real, make it look like Maya Lawrence was buried there. Do something, just make it perfect." I said with
Reggie's PovI called a security officer and got a spare key to the storeroom. I opened the door in a rush and found Bella lying unconscious on the floor. The entire room was filled with smoke. I and Brown coughed as we took her outside.The security officer got a fire extinguisher to stop the fire. Brown didn't allow me to touch her as he took her into his car. I wasn't ready for a fight, so I just got into my car and followed him.We arrived at the hospital, and Bella was taken in. I made sure she was attended to immediately. In a few minutes, Miss Esperanza, Bella's aunt had gotten to the hospital as Bella's bodyguards had informed her.After a few hours, the doctor who attended to her walked up to us, as we had been waiting all night.I got up the moment I saw him. Miss Esperanza was making a call not too far from us, so she didn't notice the doctor's presence. He stared at Brown and then back at me."Who's her husband amongst both of you?""I am." Brown and I chorused. I saw the
Bella's povUpon entering my apartment, I caught sight of Alexia smiling and fixated on her phone. 'What or who could make my best friend blush like this?' I wondered as I walked closer to her. I did it gently, so she didn't notice my presence. I got behind her and what I saw amazed me. She kept swiping and glaring at Reggie's picture on her phone. She went on and on. It seemed more like an obsession. She had numerous photos of him. I even lost count. "He's just so handsome," Alexia blushed and zoomed his picture. my mouth fell wide open and my eyes froze. I thought I was hearing things and wanted to confirm If she crushing on my man.I got in front of her but she was so engrossed on her phone that she still didn't notice my presence. I cleared my throat and said, "Who?" She slowly looked up and was startled to see me. She tried to hide her phone. I could tell she felt guilty with the look on her face. "Uh… it's, well… " She looked down and said, "It's Reggie, but I promise, it
Bella's povAfter the hospital incident, Reggie seemed to be a little distant. Though, I wasn't sure. Ever since he found out about Maya's death, he literally stopped calling me his wife.Well, Raymond did a perfect job so, it was easy for anyone to believe that I was actually buried there. Reggie felt weak but didn't believe it until he saw it for himself. He took it upon himself to visit the cemetery and also to confirm if the rumors were right. After finding out about it, he kept to himself, he was shattered for days, but since I remind him of his late wife he didn't stop talking and trying to get close to me. Even after discovering that I'm not Maya, he still had his eyes for me and me only. We were done having a board meeting. The rest of the board members had left, leaving just the two of us in the boardroom. He was going through some files when he heard my voice."Are you free? Would you love to go out with me?" I had a radiant smile that would make any man want to wife me i
Bella's PovMy face flushed as he carefully placed his lips on mine. I closed my eyes and lost control. I cupped the back of his head and ran my fingers down to his nape while he sucked my lips. He was everywhere, touching, kissing, and scattering my thoughts as his hand explored my body with a sensual lust. His lips were wet, I kissed his neck and felt his pulse hammering beneath my lips. Every inch of his body yearned for my touch. He felt almost desperate to touch every bit of my skin. He parted his mouth and stole my tongue, sucking on it passionately causing me to moan into his mouth. His body flooded with excitement as I caressed his chest. "Damn," He moaned and tried to take my top off. He slowly grabbed my ass and placed me on the table beside us. "What the fuck!" A loud voice interrupted us. We paused and turned to see who it was. It was Brown. My jaw dropped and my heart raced. I bit my lower lip and got behind Reggie. Brown stood at the entrance with an angry look. Whil
Bella's povBrown softly led me to his car and drove me away from the venue. I sat in the passenger seat and could hear him growling. I tried as much as possible to remain calm and not say anything. I slowly remembered the passionate moment I had with Reggie.I smiled as I thought of him. I have no idea what I'm feeling, but I know I enjoyed the kiss. I just wanted more. But the smile changed as I heard Brown's voice."You know you shouldn't be kissing Reggie, right? I mean, we are going to get married soon…" His voice sounded soft and charming. I was surprised to see him so calm, considering he caught me kissing his brother. I expected a worse reaction. Since he didn't sound pissed, I said, "It was just a kiss." I said with a blank expression."That was no ordinary kiss. He was practically all over you."'Which I loved,' The voice in my head added."Do you know how that makes me feel? I could have taken his life if he weren't my brother." He turned right, and we arrived at my gate.
