CHAPTER 33The music filled the halls again and the networking began. The entire evening was about networking.Men and women walked across the hams to each other to speak about business partnership and connection.Desmond walked towards Baron Wills father; Andrew where he stood with Jameson.“Andrew Wills” he called him by his first name without a title.Andrew Wills offered a handshake to Desmond and Jameson too.“How are you doing?” Mr Andrew asked with a smirk.“I would like to say that I am not doing that bad, especially after the rocky messages I received from The FORTTHORN group in Geneva. But I could do better.”Andrew Wills swallowed hard a lump that was in his throat and he shifted his weight to his left foot.“What happened with the FORTHORN?” Jameson asked looking from Andrew to Desmond. “I guess your friend and partner should answer that. He should let us know why he allowed childish shenanigans get in the way of a blooming business association,” Desmond stated.“You allo
CHAPTER 34It was the heat of the party and the noise from the crowd hid Bella and her intentions.The strange woman put the bangle on Bella's wrist, adjusting it to fit her perfectly.Then she smiled.“You are all set. Go ye now and destroy their lovely and prideful acknowledgement.”“You are sure that this would not kill her? I don't want to be responsible for her death.” Bella's was a bit anxious.“I give you my word. She will react in an embarrassing way to the effects of it after which she will likely faint. But after a few hours, she will be just fine. Maybe dizzy but fine.”The woman's confidence was enticing but Bella was still not convinced. She asked further.“Not that I care if she is dead or alive but I just need to be sure that she does not die at my hands. So, I would like you to assure me one more time that this would not prompt death.”“I mean, how else do I need to convince you? Would you like to try it first?” The woman asked with a mischievous grin.Bella cast a dis
CHAPTER 35Baron was still terrified by the scary news that was flying around on blogs, about him and Bella expecting a baby. “She is playing you into a trick, “ Cassie insisted. “You should ignore her.”“She cannot be lying with a baby in her womb? For how long does she intend to pretend if it is a lie?” Baron was falling for the trick and becoming engrossed in it.“I mean, how would you believe the words of an opportunist? You told me a week ago about the contract you put an end to and you strongly believe tha Bella means?” Cassie was heavily concerned about his heart being tossed around again.“Why not? She is my wife and it is not as though we have officially ended things. So, why should I not believe her?”“Because she only wants you for her father's sake! She is doing this for her family, moron!” Cassie was agitated.“what the hell? If it were for her family, then her father should be the one coming to seek my face. But no, it isn't him doing so. It is his daughter. There is so
CHAPTER 36“Someone tried to take my wife's life and you tell me it is not the man who served her the drink?” Jayden went off on the inspector.The inspector was quiet.“What do you people really do in that police department? You seem to me like a bunch of jokers and I think this is the time to report you all to the highest authority in the state.”“Oh, come on, Mr GRACEHILL. There really would not be any need for that yet. I merely was trying to explain why we decided to met the young man again. His story corraborated twice. We saw no reasons to keep him behind the bars,” the Inspector was exhausted by Jayden's persistence.“So, I become the collateral damage for someone's foolish act and you will not deal accordingly with him? Then fish out the culprit! Somebody is clearly after the Gracehills, after us. First my grandfather, now my wife in an open event. She was disgraced and then I am supposed to ignore?” Jayden's eyes burned like a flame.“No, I am not asking you to be calm, I am
CHAPTER 37Jayden walked back into his bedroom and tore his buttons apart. The world seemed to be coming down on him and his shoulders seemed heavy.He took a note pad from the desk and a pen from his drawer. Then he walked into his tub and sat in the water. He was stark and his heart was filled with pain and agony burned in his heart.“Whatever the heck this is, I cannot take it. I am sure not to let these vampires break me and my family,” he muttered to himself.“What can I do?” He thought to himself, trying to draw a sketch of possible actions he could take against whoever these killers were. He began to angrily jot down possible names:Aunty Hellena, Bella Moore, Baron Wills, Desmond Moore, Allen Moore, Robert, Valentino and Matthew, and his list ended. No other names could come to his mind. He did not get the name of the waiter then he added: Waiter.Then he drew rubbish lines across the names he had just jotted and flung the book across the bathroom into his bedroom.“Damn all o
CHAPTER 38The dye was cast. Baron and Bella were meeting up in a quiet part of town.He set the time for 4pm and intentionally refused to speak with Cassie. She knew he had a date and she kept calling and calling but he would not pick.*Ding!*She dropped a message.I know that you are avoiding my calls purposely and I know this has a lot to do with your date but I'd like to say this; I am not letting that lady have another bit of you if she does not mean to stay. I am not giving up on you, just yet. I will make sure I make it difficult for her.Love,Cassie.Baron read through and burst into laughter. “Witty queen,” he muttered and finished up his dressing with a hat on his head.He wore it because Bella loved him a lot with his hats. He had a dim red shirt with a pair of jeans on and a pair of black snickers.He got into his car and drove through the streets to the location.He did not want to get there before her and he was sure she would be late. So he sat in his car and got bus
CHAPTER 39“We were talking about the baby,” Bella replied directly, trying to maintain her calm.His relationship with that lady was biting her a bit but she was more bitten by the way he was rubbing it off on her.“Bella, what do you expect me to do about the baby? I mean, we broke up… No, you left me.” He stated without a flinch.“Did you have to put it that way?” She asked with a cross gaze.“How else should I have put it?” Baron asked looking a bit confused. “Was I supposed to say that we broke up? Did we break up? You decided to end it on you own.” His voice was getting haughty and she was becoming slightly uncomfortable.She said nothing and they ate on utter silence.“Are your parents aware that you are pregnant?” Baron asked with a squeezed face.“They do not know yet. But I guess after the dinner night where I was so loud, they know now. But they have never mentioned it or asked me anything about the event.”“Are your answers honest, Bella?” Baron asked with an inquisitive g
CHAPTER 40**News Flash:**Jayden Gracehill; the most Influential youth in the whole Sweint city gains an award and loses his pride.His wife is full of shit and wholly disgraceful. She embarrassed her spouse because she could not say words as simple as: ‘'I want to shit.”******Jayden read through the headlines and anger swelled up inside of him. He was filled with pain, agony and distress.He was unhappy that his wife was going through such appalling and shameful situations like that and he was unable to pin down the culprits.He slammed his laptop and moved it away from his desk. Fury was burning deep inside of him. His office door creaked open and the last person he wanted to see, walked in.“Aunty Hellena. To what do I owe this unexpected visit?” He asked without a smile, spelling it outright that he did not want her around him.Hellena walked in gentle strides towards his table and sat on a couch opposite of him.“Have you seen the news flying around on blogs and tabloids about
