“How dare you treat Uncle Ethan like that? After all that he has done for you, Bella, you had the guts to treat him like a piece of trash. Why do you enjoy playing with people's emotions?” Nadia fired back at Bella as Ethan tried pulling her out of the scene.“Baby girl, you are still a kid. I'll urge you to keep your mouth shut and mind your business. This is about me and Ethan and none of your business."All the crowds who were gathered at the event for Marco's birthday gave them their full attention, as they were all trying to get the full story behind Ethan and Bella's separation.Sensing the tension building, Ethan attempted to diffuse the situation. Pulling gently at Nadia's arm, he encouraged her to leave the situation. "Nadia, let's keep this calm.He glanced worriedly at the interested bystanders and murmured, "We can talk about this later.But Nadia was not about to concede. "No, Ethan! It’s high time I taught Bella that she is not the only one who can run her mouth. I canno

“What are you trying to say? How dare you make false accusations against me? Who even fed you with those fake lies?” She said it in a shaky voice, her hands trembling as she struggled to maintain composure. Beads of sweat started dripping down her body, each one carrying the weight of the situation.He stood there, his expression a mix of anger, frustration, and desperation. The air in the room thickened as the unspoken words hung between them. It was a question that cut deep, a question that questioned not only her integrity but the foundation of their relationship.“That’s not the answer to the goddamn question I asked. Can your womb produce a child, yes or no?"His voice was tense, a sharp contrast to the warmth it once held. The silence that followed his question was deafening, broken only by the echo of his fist slamming on the little table in their room.Bella felt the weight of the truth bearing down on her. The truth that she had been avoiding, the truth that had lingered in the

Ethan's phone chimed at exactly 2 a.m., when he was unable to sleep because of all that he witnessed last night. He was surprised to see a message from Marco telling him to come meet him at the location he sent to him.“Why the sudden message from Marco? Was he able to find the letter he kept for him in his drawer last night? Why does he want to see him in this dark hour?’ He questioned himself as he stood up from his bed to get dressed.Ethan tiptoed around the room, careful not to make a sound. He grabbed a pen and a piece of paper, scribbling a brief note to leave beside Nadia. The note explained his sudden departure and reassured her that all would be well. With a gentle touch, he placed it by her bedside, silently hoping she'd understand.Dressed in the quiet of the night, Ethan made his way downstairs. The wooden stairs creaked beneath his weight, each step a reminder of the unforeseen discussion he was about to have with Marcop. The keys on the little table beside the bed jingled

Bella? Love Bella? What are you trying to say?” He stuttered a bit before responding to him.Marco, never one to mince words, forcefully yanked the chair opposite Ethan, creating a screech that resonated in the room. He sat down with a stern look, fixating his gaze in the opposite direction, a calculated move to unnerve Ethan further. The silence lingered before Marco finally spoke."You heard what I said, Mr. Man. Why are you acting like a saint? Why the sudden calmness and denial?" Marco's words cut through the stillness like a dagger. Ethan felt the weight of the accusation, and he knew he had to tread carefully.Ethan, well aware of Marco's cunning nature, decided to respond with a blend of reason and sincerity. He chose his words cautiously, understanding the dangerous game they were playing."Marco, in all honesty, I don't have an answer to what you are talking about. You and I know that Bella can't pick me over you, knowing fully well that you are richer than me," Ethan stuttered

Bella couldn’t sleep after seeing the way Marco left the house. She was bothered and concerned about him going back to her to do his research based on the information he had gathered. She knows that she has failed in her part of laying him down and trying her best to seduce him so that he can forget about everything that happened last night.Different thoughts of Marco and what his plan might be were seen running through her mind, so she decided to call her brother Beckham. Being in a relationship with someone like Marco was both thrilling and dangerous. The adrenaline rush that came with his unpredictable lifestyle was intoxicating, but tonight, a different kind of energy was seen in the air—a sense of foreboding that sent shivers down her spine.With a deep breath, Bella dialled Beckham's number.Ring... Ring...The seconds stretched into an eternity as the phone emitted a dull melody. Her eyes were fixed on the device, and with each ring, her anxiety intensified. She bit her lip, a ner

Around 4 a.m. in the morning, the doorbell of Bella’s apartment rang. At the sound of the doorbell, she quickly rushed down from the stairs because she thought it was Marco who would be at the door.She grabbed the door knob and was surprised to see Beckham, her lovely brother, at the entrance of the door. The moment she saw him, she rushed towards his side and broke down in tears when she hugged him.“Bella, this is unlike you. Why the sudden tears? Have you been taking drugs lately?” He questioned her while using his feet to close the door.She continued crying profusely, and what Beckham was able to hear were the sniffles of her running nose while she tried to hold back the tears.“I’m right here for you, dear. You can talk to me, and I’ll try my best to provide a solution to whatever you are passing through.”She raised her head off his shoulder as she looked into his eyes and believed everything he said. Growing up as a child, Bella has always been the weaker vessel in her family.She

“Not at all. I’m coming right now to go get the door for you. Just hold on there for a second; you’ll see me soon.” She arranged the couch and the pillow lingering on the floor back to the couch.At first, she was panicking that Marco must have heard everything she had confessed to her little brother in the sitting room. On the other hand,Beckham could sense the state of fright that his sister had in her. He walked up to her and held her arms together as he whispered softly into her ears, “Why are you afraid? You shouldn’t be scared at all. What happened to the ever-courageous Bella, who always faces her fears with her head high up?"Her heart started beating fast as she held onto her brother's hands to gather more stamina.“Hey baby girl, listen up! You got this, and you can do it. All those petty thoughts of yours are all made-up assumptions. He didn’t listen to our conversation, and believe me, your secrets are safe with me. Stop shaking and go get the door.” He patted her back as he

Around 4 a.m. in the morning, Ethan drove into his apartment at full speed as he got pissed off with the way Marco ended the meeting with him earlier today. He turned off the car ignition as he pondered his thoughts a bit before coming down from his car.“How was Marco so wise enough to pull that stunt on me? Ethan, you really have to be careful with these mad moves you are taking.” He slammed his fist on his forehead as he questioned his inner self.“I think I know what to do. I think it’s high time to strategize and execute as soon as possible when I eventually gather more evidence from my source. Bella and Marco have to go down. They can’t be seen flexing and chilling after what they did to me.” He muttered to himself as he got out of his car.Ethan jingled with his car keys; the keys were echoing in the empty parking lot. The night air was cool, and the dim lights of streetlights kept shining into his compound. Ethan got to the entrance of the door and inserted the key into the lock,

CHAPTER NINETEEN:“I heard the sharp sound, sir. I guess it’s coming from the basement.” He responded with a serious face.“Basement? Who do you think can be in the basement?” Ethan asked Alex as he put his car keys back into his pockets.“I certainly don’t know, sir. How about we go check who is in there? You never can tell if we end up seeing Nadia there.”“Nadia? I doubt if that can be Nadia. If at all Nadia wants to stay in a safe place, she would rather stay in my favourite room than the basement.”“Okay sir! So what do you intend to do?” Alex asked him to know his next move.“I plan on going to the station to make a report.” He answered as he grabbed his keys and unlocked his car.As he was about to hop into the car, the sharp noise repeated itself again; this time around it was more intense: “Help! Help me!" the voice kept on echoing.Alex looked at Ethan once more, and his face could tell that he had something in mind to say.Ethan could see the long look on his face, so he said to hi

“She really needs medical attention right now. I think she is losing her breath. The more you keep asking her certain questions, the more she keeps getting tired of answering." Alex suggested this while standing beside Mr.Ethan outside of the basement.“Oh! That’s a good idea, Alex. Let me go get my car keys, and we will both head to the nearest hospital in the city.” He responded as he hurriedly searched his pockets, looking for the car keys.“What are you looking for, sir?”“My car keys I thought I dropped in my pocket, and here I am looking for them without any traces of where I dropped them last.” -Ethan said with a sad look on his face. He felt that he was wasting so much time and taking Nadia's health for granted. On the other hand, while he was busy complaining about his carelessness, Alex was with his torchlight searching for where the keys might have dropped.“Finally! I found it.” Alex exclaimed as he picked up the key from the entrance of the basement and gave it to Ethan.“Tha
