"What?!!!" She screamed.       "I had no idea she had duplicate keys," he acknowledged solemnly.   She picked up the pillow from the floor and placed it on her lap, pouting her lips and in deep thought. Ezekiel saw she was distressed and sat on the bed facing her, staring into her eyes.   "What?" She's irritated this time; she disdains it when he looks at her like that, and she knows he never looks her in the eyes the way he looks Gillian in the eyes. "Stop looking at me! I'm not interested in you, "she stated flatly.   Anastasia was exposed as the door was pushed open. Fortunately, Ezekiel was quick to act, cupping his wife's face with his hands, making Bella's pulse skip a beat.   "What are you doing?!" she protested in a weak tone.   "Mom is here," he said as he composed his grin for her. She realized he was attempting to deceive

  He had been observing every move she made from the time she stepped her feet inside his office. He could tell that her eyes were saying a lot of things that her mouth couldn’t say. He was expecting her to open her mouth to yell or complain at him after seeing Gillian seducing him, but he saw how her eyes narrowed and irritably turned around as if she was giving his secretary permission to do something malicious behind her back. Ezekiel couldn’t help how heartless his wife was for ignoring what she caught. That made him shout at his secretary to get out of his office. He has been confused lately since Gillian came back into his life.  He resented Bella from the beginning, but ever since he married her, he has had an unexplainable desire to protect her from danger. However, he does not sense his wife's care for him, and she consistently makes him feel unimportant despite his gen

Bella stepped on his foot hard, causing him to scream in pain, "ahhhhhhhhhhhh!" He jumps up and down while raising his knees.   "What happened to you, Zeke?" Anastasia asks her son. She was concerned seeing his cheeks and ears getting crimson.   He extends his legs and places them on the ground. "Nothing, mum," he replies nonchalantly as he walks into his room. Their gazes follow him as he goes, and they exchange glances and laughs.   "What exactly did you do to him?" Anastasia inquires cheerfully about her daughter-in-law.   "I'm simply teaching him a lesson," she replied with a smile.    "Please don't be too harsh on my son. Even though he is distant, he still has a kind heart "Bella nods as she speaks to her in hushed tones.   Ezekiel almost shrieked in agony as he shut the door. "That woman is making me lose my patience, but she’s quite strong. No wo

Chapter 57 – Coffee  Bella had been gazing at the CCTV footage with her hands on her waist, scanning if there's anything strange before the incident, but the operator didn't know which day to begin repeating. "Don't let anyone go. Please contact me right once if you discover anything "As she marched out of the room, she gave a firm command. She overheard them say, "Yes, ma'am." "Why are we making changes to our design when we've already been eliminated from the competition?" Stacy expresses her dissatisfaction with the other designers.  "Are you willing to admit that we did duplicate other people's designs?" Lucas confronted her directly. "Remember that our names are also under La Bella's company, and we nee

It was the second day that Bella stayed in her company again. She was exhausted, confused, irritated, and enraged. Even if the investigation into the stolen blueprints has not been completed, her battling spirit is unabated.   All of her staff had left, leaving her alone once more. It had been a long night for her as she continued to work on new products to release and try to sell online because no malls wanted to collaborate with them after the incident went viral.   She was seated on her chair, looking at the computer screen, creating wonderful ideas, but the lovely moon she saw through the transparent glass window drew her attention. She was astounded by it.    "The moon is very beautiful tonight," she heard her husband’s voice.  She ignored him and continued to gaze up at the moon.   Ezekiel was standing in front of the doorway and entered her office. He cast a peek towards the moo
