Jacob expression was nothing less than amusement and a little pride while he looked at Bella and Marco who were now cold like ice water had been poured on them. Ethan on the other hand put his phone back inside his pocket after the waiter confirmed the credit alert.Jacob pinched Ethan as he signaled to him, he needed to know if he knew what he was really doing. “Isn’t that investment money from his company? I hope it doesn’t go bankrupt soon” Jacob thought to himself, Ethan looked calm and unbothered“Since we done here, I guess we can finally leave?” Jacob asked authoritatively looking at Bella“Yes please, get your bag let’s go” Ethan said to Jacob and it made him to turn to his heels to fetch the bag from their reserved seat. Jacob was still stunned that with just a phone call, Ethan was able to clear a bill with such amount.Marco was on his phone trying to make a transfer to prove that he in fact had more than the money the restaurant was requesting for but to no avail, he only
Jacob was very stunned at what just played out in front of him, his boss bowing down to him, opening the car for him and acting like his chauffeur?Ethan refused to say any more word as he speed the car heading for Nadia school to pick her up.The plan was to allow Nadia stay overnight at her school but the plans changed after the incident at the restaurant, now they were going to fetch her from school instead.“What happened back there?” Jacob asked in a very surprised tone since Ethan refused to say a word to him since they left the restaurant. Jacob needed an explanation at least.Why would Ethan do such a thing, pay for damage that clearly he had apologized for, even if he payed for the damage why not pay the exact amount, why leave a tip?“That was Bella being herself” Ethan replied a bit angry, although he couldn’t even hide it no matter how hard he tried, he was smoking angry. Bella had succeeded in making him angry at that moment she called him a failure despite he sacrificed e
Meanwhile that evening, Aaron was pacing around to and fro deep in his own thoughts, he needed to act and he needed to do it quickly but he was confused on what next to do.The memories of the other night at Ethan’s house traumatized him and he kept thinking “What if I had been caught that day?” Aaron thought to himself “What if my mask fell off and Ethan saw my face?”Aaron was still healing from the wounds he sustained from the other day when Ethan threw a glass cup at his back while he struggled with him in his house.As Aaron paced around with his both hands crossed over his chest his mind trailed to Anita’s first plan of kidnapping Nadia, it failed woefully because Ethan had over powered him, making Aaron to run away from the house like a weakling.He knew Ethan hadn’t figured out the person that raided his house that night, not even Aaron’s body stature gave it away because if that was the case, there was no way investigators wouldn’t be looking for Aaron as the main suspect tha
In Miliano’s restaurant Bella and Marco sat opposite each other with the food they were forced to pay on the table, between them.It took a while for Marco’s wire transfer to finally work, when he was able to make transactions, he ordered another tray of food for Bella, they were going to have the dinner night they wanted no matter what.Bella was half way in her food when she lost her appetite, the buffalo sauce and the chicken wings was what she couldn’t wait to taste so badly, well that was before she bumped into Ethan!The flash back of how he had made an open show of disrespecting her by not obeying her wish of kneeling down made her to cringe at the thought of it, somehow, someway he was going to pay for the disgrace and the dust he poured on her face when he drove out of the parking lot.Marco noticed that his wife had stopped eating and was playing with the food on her plate as she moved her spoon around deep in her own thoughts“Is everything fine babe?” Marco asked out of co
Bella and Marco were still seating having a heart felt conversation when the waiter walked to their table carrying Bella’s food packaged in a take away in his hand, he carefully dropped the food box wrapped in a polytene bag on the table.“Do you charge for packaging a food already paid for in take out?” Bella asked rudely“We don’t charge, even if we did I wouldn’t want to get you involved with paying because I know it would take hours” the waiter replied with a bit of a bitter smile, there was lot of sarcasms in the way he spoke that upset Bella and Marco“Hey are you crazy?” Marco asked angrilyThe waiter snared at the both of them with a look of disgust without saying any more word he turned around and left their table, ordinarily the waiter was suppose to bow in respect to them as waiters does to every other customer, but the couples have lost their respect since they couldn’t afford to pay for the damaged food, despite Marco ATM began working after a while of trails, but what wa
CHAPTER 83 The phone kept on ringing for the second time, and Marco didn't hesitate to keep switching it off. He made use of his wide eyes to look at her, but she acted as if she didn't know what exactly was going on. He cleared his throat and brought out the keys from his breast pocket, just as he was about to put them in and start the car. Bella's voice took him off guard. “Who the hell was that?” She turned towards him, facing him. “I don't understand what you are trying to say, Bella.” He tried to be defensive toward her. “All I'm asking from you is that you tell me who the hell was calling you.” She tried to maintain her voice tone so as not to sound harsh. “Bella, I think you are going too far right now because, for all I know, you of all people have never once asked me who I'm on the phone with.”“Well! That's a different case right now, Marco.”“How is it different? Are you trying to defend yourself right now?” he questioned her. “Marco, this isn't about me defending m
“I'm asking because I don't understand your lack of trust towards me. Have I ever done something to you before that made you not ever trust me?” He questioned her. “Marco, you are the one taking this too far. I didn't even mean to hurt you in any way. I'm just here stating the obvious and here you are thinking that I do not trust you.” she defended herself“Can you even hear yourself at all, Bella? Did you listen to what you just said at all?” He faced her. “What I only said was that I see no reason why you are taking this far is that now a problem?” her brows were raised as she spoke. “Bella, that's enough and I won't drag this further with you.’ He warned her with his fingers pointing towards her face. “Good boy! Now, I can say that we are on the same page.”She picked up his phone and pushed it towards him, “Can you now switch on your phone, and let's have a proper discussion like how normal couples do?”He looked at her, hissed at her, and pulled the keys out of their hands wi
“You think you are smart enough to outsmart me, Bella? You are not even smart at all.” Marco spoke to himself with his hands across the steering wheel. Bella was facing the side of the window without uttering a word at all. She knew that it'd be difficult for her to say a word having seen that her instinct about Natasha calling Marco was all a fuse. After so much silence Marco broke the silence“Bella, are you okay at all? You haven't said anything since you got into the car.” “Yeah! I'm fine and doing so well. I just don't want to talk about anything at all.” She tried maintaining her demeanor with a sharp response. “Are you sure there is nothing going on in your mind because this is unlike you, Bella?” He pushed further with his questions. “Babe, there is nothing going on in my mind at all. Can you allow me to breathe right now?”“Okay! If you say so but make sure you know that I'll always be here for you any time of the day.” he moved closer to her with his hands holding the wh
