Bella was growing increasingly frustrated as her date had not yet arrived. Over an hour had passed since their appointed time, and there was still no sign of him. She anxiously checked her phone, hoping she hadn't missed his call, but there was nothing.This situation was wearing on Bella, but she felt trapped because her grandmother was becoming increasingly insistent on her finding a partner. The waiter approached her, asking if she was ready to order."I'm sorry, just a few more minutes, please. I'm still waiting for my date. He should be here any minute," Bella said to the waiter."Sure, just let me know when you're ready," the waiter replied before leaving.This was the second time the waiter had come over to ask for her order. Bella couldn't help but wonder if she had been stood up, which seemed absurd since she was paying him to be there.Just as she received a call from her date, she noticed someone else approaching. It was the last person she wanted to see at that moment, but
"You did what?" Anna exclaimed loudly over the phone.This girl meant it when she said she was going to find someone to play her game."Are you crazy? How can you hire someone to deceive your grandma? You know how serious this is, right?" Anna scolded."I know. That's why I chose someone I hate and who would never be my type," Bella replied."Who?" Anna asked eagerly, wanting to know who had convinced Bella.Bella remained silent, creating a sense of suspense. Anna was dying to find out who it was."It's the doctor," Bella finally revealed."Bel..." Anna shouted in disbelief. This was the same person she had once cursed to never be with Bella, and now they had an agreement."What? He said he would help," Bella defended herself."Did he?" Anna questioned skeptically."Of course. And I'm even going to pay him. It's a win-win situation. I get to deceive my grandma, and he gets paid for it," Bella explained.Anna held her head in frustration. How could Bella do something like this without
Anna and Edward continued their conversation, delving deeper into their preferences and personal perspectives. The air was charged with unspoken attraction, and both of them tried to conceal their true feelings. "You know, Edward," Anna began, her voice laced with intrigue, "if I were in Bella's shoes, I might even do the same thing she's doing." Edward raised an eyebrow, genuinely intrigued by Anna's statement. "And what would that be, exactly?" Anna leaned back in her chair, her eyes gleaming with a mischievous spark. "I would hire someone to play a game with my grandmother. It could be thrilling to witness the events unfold and see how everything plays out." Edward couldn't help but smile. Anna's response mirrored his own thoughts, making him wonder if they were more alike than he initially realized. "You have an adventurous side, Anna," Edward remarked. "I never knew you were interested in such unconventional endeavors." Anna smirked, her gaze fixed on Edward. "You don't know
"What do you mean you cannot go out with the person I've chosen for you?" Clara exclaimed, her voice filled with frustration."But I don't even like him," Bella retorted, her tone defiant. "He might even be an ugly freak."In her anger, Clara's grip tightened on her heart, and she impulsively threw a spoon at Bella, who ducked just in time to avoid it."You... You stubborn child!" Clara seethed, her face flushed with anger. "I have made my decision, and since you refuse to find someone, I will personally find a suitor for you."Bella crossed her arms, her expression determined. "We're not living in ancient times anymore, Grandma. Parents don't arrange marriages for their children, especially not against their will. It's the 21st century, things don't work like that."Clara's annoyance only grew, but deep down, she was conflicted. How could she force Bella into a marriage she didn't want? This was Bella's life, and Clara wanted her to have a say in it.Clara sighed, feeling the weight o
Bella stared at Nathan, her gaze filled with suspicion and confusion. Her grandmother's words echoed in her mind, and she couldn't help but wonder if there was any truth to them. It would explain why Nathan had shown up at the restaurant where she was supposed to meet the actor.Did he have a hand in the actor's decision to back out of their deal? Was he somehow involved in orchestrating this entire situation?Nathan noticed the cynical look on Bella's face but chose to ignore it for the moment. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Benson," he began, but Clara interrupted him, insisting on being called by her nickname, "Clara."Nathan smiled lightly at Clara's interruption, appreciating her spirit. "Clara, I never agreed to anything. I just said I would think about it," he clarified.Bella couldn't believe what she was hearing. "But you said you were in love with someone else!" she exclaimed, feeling a mixture of anger and hurt. Nathan had never mentioned being in a relationship before, and she felt betra
Emma reveled in the warmth of the man beside her, appreciating the sensation of her hands against his smooth, hairless chest."Baahir," she called out softly, her voice filled with affection."Mmm," Baahir responded, his eyes closed, relishing in the attention he was receiving. He was pleased by the admiration he received from women, and a fleeting smile played across his lips as Emma's touch continued.Curiosity sparked within Emma as she sought to deepen their connection. "When will your parents be back?" she inquired, her voice filled with genuine interest.Baahir fell silent, his demeanor suddenly changing. He withdrew from her embrace and moved to sit on the edge of the bed, his expression clouded with anger.Confusion washed over Emma. "What's wrong?" she asked, concern evident in her voice."Baby, please talk to me," she implored, joining him on the bed and wrapping her arms around him from behind."Are you trying to get rid of me?" Baahir's question was laced with anger, his to
"Are you desperate to get rid of me?" Baahir asked angrily.Emma was shocked by his sudden remark. What did he mean by that? She didn't know, but she felt he was hurt."Hey, baby. Why would you say that? How can I get rid of you?" she responded, trying to understand his feelings."If not, then why would you suggest knowing when my parents will come back?" Baahir explained.She was quiet, waiting for him to continue speaking."You and I know that the moment they come back, I won't be able to spend as much time with you. I'll be busy assisting them at the company," Baahir clarified.Emma finally realized what he meant and her face brightened. She smiled happily, realizing that he was upset about the prospect of not being able to be with her as much as he wanted.It made her feel loved and cherished. She hugged him tightly from behind, wearing a smile of happiness. She hadn't chosen the wrong guy after all.Baahir observed her reaction but still had a sad and disappointed look on his face
In the midst of the forest, dim shadows of leaves shrouded the atmosphere. Obscured behind a tree stood a man who was out of breath. He took something from his small bag that was hanging on his body and, without looking, threw it into his mouth. It appeared that this was not the first time he had taken it. Right after taking it, he regained some of his lost strength, but he knew this was only temporary as the effects of the medicine he took would wear off. He had lost count of the number of doses he had taken. But this was the only way to help him heal so he could flee. Just then, he heard the movement of some people thanks to his ability to hear things from afar. There were three of them, but now, five more had joined them. "Hell," he cursed as he looked around to find a place to hide until he could run again. The wound on his stomach was still bleeding, but not as much as before he took the drug. He saw a big tree that looked like a home for squirrels. Thankfully, the squi
As aoknnas the plan landed.Anna got out if the plan and did not even waste a single minute more there .Thanks to her identity in the country she didn’t need to go through the same procedure as most people go through .She was already pit stop bfirwanyone else.Even her luggage was with her the whole time she was on the plane .Her private jet was still in Europe and it would have taken her some hours before it gets to New York City, she prefer to coke early and find out whey is happening to her grandpa.The driver who was sent to pick her up thought since the plan just landed it would take him some few minute more to see her .Bit he never expected that it’s not even been a minute and the person he was waiting for a salrwdy walking towards her .He knew the young hatreds had learned how to fly a plane and was thing she might have tagged along as a pilot and gotten to coke out this early .How wrong he was. Anna was not in the sound mind to fly at the moment and had to wait in th
Dana looked at the familiar car standing not off from the office and walked very close to have a careful look.But then her phone started to receive some messages and she checked them.She sighed and knew her gossipy attitude would lead her nowhere but back to work.And before she knew it, her legs soon carried her to Bella office since she has no work to do today and was just here to learn about her company for a while.She looked at the face that was braskinv the heart of other people as wished she could just take her away.It’s such a shame that has already had a girlfriend .Yep, the princess Dana was not into men but into women.This is one of the reason she ledt the palace as she knew her mother would never approve of it .But she prefer t be with the ole she loved than be with a man she would be be happy with .“Okay, I just saw a pretty photographer leaving not long ago. And if I’m not mistaken I think I saw a sad rejected look like on his face like he was abandoned by
John walked into the office with a smile as if he was meeting a long-time friend for a while.Bella watched as he looked around in her office like he was trying to take in everything for the last time . And the was making her feel very uncomfortable and she couldn't even get her head around everything .“John, it’s so nice to see you ” she tried to say in a friendly manner trying to not sound as distant as possible.This was the cause of the man she liked and she didn’t want to give another man any hope than she already had.His feeling for her was something she knows and she didn’t want to look like a bad person. It was better to keep their distance before she gets into someones bad books.“I thought you had already forgotten about me. I’m still glad you’re least still remember my name “ he with a smile and sat down while compementinf her office .“I now know why you have such great taste in clothes and lifestyle. Your office speaks for itself. Not too gloomy not to light. Just
“Huh “Charles said and stood up in shock.He felt his vision was playing tricks on him, or his ears were also playing tricks on him.Finally his mind was also playing some dirty tricks ok him.This wasn’t real right?This might be a joke.And before be realize it he had already blunted it out.“Is this a prank or a joke for something?”The old marshal understood his reaction and didn’t say anything anymore. Who would be happy to know his or her soul was in another solace?No one would be this happy about it.But he will, for he knew what he as talking about .“This is no joke and I I’m not trying to prank anyone” the marshal answered .“But…. But” Charles stammered. The old marshal was not angry but he was just worried for his child.“You don’t need to worry about anything else and just call her back. I don’t want to do tht one to call he back. She might not even listen to me or believe me. And if I try to lie her, I might speak up everything and it wouldn’t be good for her
Back in England …Charles watched as the Marshal with an anxious look walked back and forth with a weighty expression.“Master? Is anything the matter” he asked with a worried look.“No. This is not good. This is really not good at all” he responder as he continued to walked around .He suddenly called him here like there was an emergency but all that he had been witnessing for the last fifteen minute was seeing as he has making walking back and forth .And instead is a direct answer, he was now talking about, something he couldn’t get his mind on.Who wouldn’t be confused in this matter?But still, he waited patently, thinking this might be about master Nagid, he just fell silent and waited till he spoke up again.He knew his master like the back of his hand.If there is something that would a bit annoy him, then it would be something he would detest very much.He ca do nothing but wait and help him get rid of the trouble and he help make him relieved again.After walkin
“Hello” she said as she held his face.Nagid have been in a coma for months now was being stared at by Anna, who was just looking at his face as she was in thought.“It’s been eight months already and the you are still not up “ she said with a smile .She cleaned his face and touched his cheeks just to be sure there was still that tenderness still there on his cheeks.She smiled and hugged him.“Still warm and smells nice. It’s now a one sided hug, I just hope you will have up as far as you can so you can huh me in returned okay” she said with a smile .She used to be hesitant when she is the one who takes the initiative to do that with him, but now all that she wanted was to have him close to him with his eyes opened and hands on her.She would have do anything just to make sure he wakes up . Also, she retired the words that was said to her about his condition. “You have to give him time, he would come around when he wants to. We can’t force him” Sir Cama said .“And what yo
Stars.Love .Excitement.Disbelieve .Shock.Pain.Obsession.These were what was as happening in Nathans's mind while she stood so close to him.Her usual scent whivh makes him identify her even when she is a bit far from him.He wanted it all.She was finally hers .But then he felt she was moving her .“No, this can’t happen. I am about to respond and she wants to leave “ he thought to himself.And just when Bella was about to stay away from him when he pulled her close to him and deepened the kiss.Bella was shocked by his sudden ‘attack’ and didn’t know what to do .But as an inexperienced person, it didn’t even take a second for her to be out of breath.Nathan smiled and moved away from her with big within a mile.Their saliva and hearts were mixed as they kissed .They could taste each other.But neither of them was feeling disgusted, they felt so warmth on the whole body that Nathan who had been keeping himself all these years couldn’t care anymore and attacked her mo
“I’m so sorry “Bella said as she felt she was tongue-tied and didn’t know what else she can do.Or what else to say?All he just said about her was true. She had been selfish. Self-centered and never thought or cared about his feeling.If she had not been like that she would have noticed these little things he had been doing for her.“I don’t know what else to say to you and I don’t even know how to react towards you later all these “She said with a sad smile. “But believe me when I say I’m regretful and I don’t even know what to do to make you regard g me anymore. Nathan, I’m so sorry. All that you have ever tried to do, were you being a good person. Who was only trying to make me happy? But the only thing I saw was a burden and someone who didn’t know how to mind his business trying to mend my life. I even left without giving you the chance to explain yourself. I’m a bad person and I’m regretting so much “She decided to just be sincere and tell him the reason why she left i
Bella walked toward him with an anxious heart as she went and stood before him without batting an eye.“Nathan?” she called again softly hoping he would at least on his eyes and see to her.Nathan still had his eyes close and didn’t even bother to respond or open them.In his thoughts, he was thinking this was a dream and all that was happening around him was not real.His mind might be playing tricks on him as he had been thinking about her a lot of late.Or it might be because he just hit his heart broken again.Why would she be here when she was already with her date for the night?She was enjoying another man’s company and he was here thinking about her again.Just the thought of it was making him very angry.He held his eyes shut and breathed in the fresh air around him to call himself down.This feeling is one of the hardest things he had ever done with his life.It was even much harder than operating on someone with a brain problem.And how their heart was also beating very fas
