Bella's Pov"You're pathetic!" "You're more pathetic than I'd ever be." I gently stood up from my seat. "What are you doing here, Angelica? Lunatics aren't allowed here."I gazed up at her with a faint smile in my eyes, rimmed with a hint of mockery. Luckily, the people around kept playing and placing their bets without paying attention to her. I didn't wait to hear what she had to say because I know the one month in her contract had expired and now she's shocked to see the amount she'd be paying the Aldama Casino. Little did she know that this was just the beginning. I snapped my fingers. Behind me, my three bodyguards whipped out their batons and advanced towards her. Though they were just three, their threatening auras were enough to scare her and the puppy [Monica] she calls her friend. Melissa and Alexia were right behind me as I was ready to make life a living hell for her. This is my casino, and if she isn't ready to comply with the rules in the contract she signed, then she
Bella's Pov "Melissa, thanks for the information. I'll get back to you soon." I answered and dropped the call. At the entrance of the famous MQ Resort. I saw Reggie dressed in plain clothing. He was talking to a lady who seemed surprised and excited to see the CEO of Smiths corporations. I took a few steps but then, they were in my way so, I couldn't walk in with them standing at the entrance. I had to come here quite early to get settled in before Brown comes to join me later in the evening."Oh my God, you're the CEO of Smiths corporations! I'm a big fan of yours." She giggled. Without noticing my presence, Reggie complimented her beauty and kept talking to her. Her breast heaved as she laughed heartily at Reggie's face. "Can I have your autograph?" She said and gave Reggie a pen. He chuckled and agreed to do it. While at it, he heard her voice again. "Are you free tonight? Cause... I'd love us to go out on a date." She blinked innocently. Reggie squinted his eyes and shook his
"Allow me, allow me to put this bitch in her place." I snapped, having lost my patience. "You're a better bitch than I'd ever be.""You're so shameless. I really hope Reggie takes advantage of you.""Take advantage of me?" Angelica couldn't help but laugh. "I hope he takes advantage of me, but it seems he's taking too long to do it."Her words made me frown. Even Reggie couldn't take it anymore. His father's wife was really a shameless flirt. Despite my struggle to calm myself down, I could feel resentment rising within me. Seeing Reggie with another woman triggers my frustration and anger. "Relax baby - Angelica, that's enough! I believe this resort is big enough for all of us." Brown tried to stop us. "Yeah, but your fiancée started it." Angelica shrugged. "Oh, really?" I raised my head. Brown turned to me and placed his hand around my waist. "They aren't worth the trouble. I'd handle it," Brown said, softly.But I was fully prepared for this two-faced snake. "Mrs. Renoto Smith
Reggie's PovI stood close to the window as my eyes lingered on the new building opposite my father's company. "Sir? You asked to see me?" Alexia came after knocking. I didn't look back. I was still staring at the building, wondering who the fuck could have a hand in this. I mean, I saw when they were constructing the building but, I thought it was a mall, museum, or an event center… This is ridiculous. "CEO?" She heaved a deep sigh as she still wasn't getting a response. "Sir… Mr. Henry is threatening to pull out his shares if he doesn't get a better offer… or at least get to have a conversation with your father." Alexia's face etched with concern. "Summon all the board members," I said, taking my seat. "They need to be aware of this sudden threat," I said while glaring at the file she dropped earlier. "But first, I want to talk to the company's PR, and also… put a call to my private investigator. We need to find out who this enemy is.""Are you talking about the new wine company
Bella's pov [I took the pictures of the file you requested. I'd be on my way soon. Can't wait to tell you about today's experience in the office. Xoxo]That was the last text I got from Alexia. It’s 11 pm already and she's not back yet. I can't help but worry. She’s the only loyal friend I'd ever have. It's unlike her to keep late nights. I get it. She might wanna chill out, but at least she could have called me.Her numbers are not going through. I asked my bodyguards to look for her and they are yet to find her. Korozon dropped a glass of juice and walked into the kitchen. Alexia completely occupied my mind. But I was distracted by SpongeBob's voice on the TV.And then, I remembered the look on Reggie's face and the worry in his voice while addressing the board earlier today. It got me smiling. "I'm your biggest nightmare, Mr. Smith," I muttered slowly. "Your uncle called, and he'd be spending some time here, since your wedding is in three days." My aunt said, taking her seat. "Do
Bella[We are allies now. Bella doesn't have to be aware, well, except if you tell her. That being said, you can only take orders from me. Don't forget, I got cameras everywhere. I'm sure your mother's life is still precious to you.] Alexia read the text repeatedly as she walked out of a wine store. She had no choice but to do as Angelica said. She couldn't risk her mother's life nor losing me as her best friend. She called to inform me of her safety and impending arrival at my office. She obtained access to The-Aldama-Wine after placing her card. She took an elevator and got to the 5th floor, where my office was. She got out and made her way into my office. My secretary welcomed her and told her to take a seat that I was in a meeting.She sat waiting patiently to do as Angelica instructed. But she had yet to put the pills into the wine with her. 'What if Bella dies after drinking this?' She thought as she still had no idea what the pills were meant to do."Hello, is your boss in?"
Bella"Nice acting." Reggie clapped, taking his seat. Wait, what? He didn't buy the act?"You know? If I was your director… both of you would probably be sacked by now." He laughed, opening the wine he brought.Punk, Reggie was too smart. It's really hard to fool him, but either way, he has no evidence. "You never told me; you were friends with my secretary."I turned and stared intensely at him. "Who said we were friends?""Drop the act already, Miss Aldama. You can't fool this bad boy!" He laughed even harder, revealing his sexy dimples. I tried to stay conscious, but my eyes were blurry and my head was spinning."You have no proof." I managed to say. I tried to walk over to where he was, but my legs weakened and I was about to fall when Reggie caught me. "Careful." He said, staring into my eyes. "Are you okay?" He immediately felt that something was wrong. He slowly took me to the couch in my office so, I could sit comfortably. "I'm okay." I sneezed and tried to relax. "Then why
ReggieI couldn't help but smile. She wanted sex in a car? Is she being naughty or there's more to these actions? Her eyes were filled with desires, desires that yearned for my touch. She kissed and tried to remove her cloth, but I immediately stopped her."You know? I really love you a lot, Reggie." Bella smiles while touching my body."You do?" It seems strange... a sane Bella could never do this. She was too proud and sophisticated for this. I slowly brought my phone out to google these symptoms. Or can wine cause such an effect?Seeing what the cause was, my eyes widened. Bella was drugged? Damn! Then I thought of Brown. Could that be the reason he came to visit Bella's office? "Damit! That bastard." I muttered and clenched my fist. I was deep in thoughts and didn't notice that Bella had taken her top off."Don't you want me?" Bella hesitated, seeing that I was deep in thoughts. I turned and my gaze met a scar at the corner of her breast. Then I suddenly remembered my late wife
