Alex walked out of the restaurant and a few minutes later, his Mercedes car was parked neatly in Rex’s villa. Then, Alex spotted a debit alert notification with a sum of 10,000 dollars sent to an orphanage home a few minutes ago. He shook his head, assuming that he sent the money, but he didn’t recall associating with any orphanage home. Or did someone hack his account?No, that’s impossible. His account is a premium account with robust security measures, and possibly, Diana might have done it, since he gave her access to all the money in his premium card.He walked into the villa swiftly, then questioned Diana, who had a wide grin on her face, “Huh? You came early?”“Yes, I-” Diana stammered, before glancing over his shoulder to cook up a lie, “I took a leave because I had a throbbing headache, and I had to meet a doctor.”“Gosh, are you alright now?” Alex asked with curiosity tinged in his voice.“Yes, yes, I’m fine,” Diana replied, causing Alex to sigh in relief before he glance
“Great!” Jeffrey muttered to himself, then he turned around and picked up the phone.“Great choice, Diana,” he uttered softly, causing Diana to close and open her eyes before sighing.“What do you want from me? Money?” Diana questioned quickly.“Rude, but I don’t need your money, I want to get out of here,” Jeffrey replied, before whispering, “Withdraw all charges against me.”“What?!”“That is not the only thing I want from you… but, I want to be out of here within 48 hours, understood?”“Yes, I understand,” Diana replied with a quivering voice, while she nodded. Afterward, a prison guard barged in, then he exclaimed, “Time’s up!” before approaching Jeffrey.***At Rex’s villa, Diana was quick to approach Alex who was having his lunch in the bedroom.“Alex, are you busy? Can we discuss?” Diana questioned softly, before fiddling with her fingers since she was nervous and was not aware of how Alex would react to her next statement.With that, Alex glanced up at Diana and he responded
“What? Orphan? But Diana did not inform me about that visiting any orphan…” Alex muttered, his voice trailing off with disappointment.With that, he questioned Theo, “Is that all the information you have? Or is there more?”“There is… Mrs. Diana and Jeffrey made a reservation at that famous restaurant that is your favorite, and sir, I think you need to go there too,” Theo responded, causing Alex to huff.“Go there? I know Diana, it’s possible that she may be trying to settle things amicably with Jeffrey.”“Sir, I don’t think so… It seems like a date instead…”“Date?” Alex paused, before his fingers traced the furrowed lines that were over his eyebrows. Afterward, he clenched his fists and continued his statement, this time, with an angry tone, “How dare you say that about my wife?”“I’m sorry, sir,” Theo uttered with a quivering voice. He knew Alex would yell at him, or maybe sack him, but it itched him to tell Alex the truth. “If you mention such again, you will be dismissed from yo
“I’m worse? Oh, come on, what can be worse than a mother abandoning her biological daughter?” Bella scoffed, then, when she noticed that Alex tried to stand again, she rushed towards him and she placed his arm around her shoulder.She helped him to his room, and afterward, she returned to the dining room to confront Diana who watched how Bella assisted Alex to his room.“What are you doing here?” Bella inquired, folding her arms quickly.“I came to meet Alex,” Diana responded, then, she moved to the other side to walk away, but Bella blocked her path.“You can’t. He is fast asleep,” Bella hissed.“Then I will wake him... It’s something urgent I need to talk about,” Diana mattered, before walking past Bella hastily.“You have no shame at all...” Bella hissed, making Diana pause in her tracks.“First, you abandoned your daughter at an orphanage home, then you deprived her of the parental love she deserves-”Before she could continue her statement, Diana replied, “Yes, I did! But now, I
Jeffrey’s voice rang throughout the room, causing Melissa to mutter softly, “Please, Daisy is here.”“Yes, mother-in-law,” Jeffrey replied calmly, while Alex walked out of the house, with Bella trailing behind him hastily.“Get into the car, we are leaving,” Alex uttered tartly.“What?!” Bella exclaimed, “We are here, now... You want us to leave?”“Yes,” Alex replied firmly.Meanwhile, in the dining room, Diana returned and she was a bit surprised to notice Alex and Bella’s absence.“They left,” Jeffrey uttered after he sensed her surprise.“Oh,” Diana replied, before her gaze fell on Melissa who had a worried expression on her face.“Are you alright?“ Melissa inquired with concern tinged in her voice and Diana responded with a nod, “I’m fine.”“Maybe you should consider seeing a doctor... You know, it might be a kind of disease or so,” Iris suggested quickly, causing Melissa to nudge her elbow and stop her from talking.“Sure, I will,” Diana replied, then she turned to her plate.Inw
Knock!Knock!“Sir, I brought the painkillers,” the maid uttered in a soft tone. Afterward, Alex instructed the guards to allow her inside, and they obeyed. The maid walked in quickly, then she offered a glass of water and the painkillers to Alex.As soon as Alex took the painkillers, and the glass of water, a smirk played on the maid’s lips and she excused herself.***“Mr. Alex, you are alright,” Doctor Ben uttered swiftly, causing Alex to approach him.“Really?” Alex inquired.“Yes, we ran a CT scan and everything is fine,” Doctor Ben replied with a smile on his face, then he paused before muttering, “Sir, did you notice any negative symptoms?”“No, no. Since you said that I’m alright, then, I am,” Alex responded, causing Doctor Ben to bow his head.“I should take my leave then,” Doctor Ben spoke politely, and Alex waved his hand quickly as a sign of dismissal.Afterward, Doctor Ben left the room, while Bella walked in majestically.“So what did he say? You are fine, right?” Bella
“Though, you are very lucky. It will be easy to get rid of your allergy since it’s only been a few months,” Bella uttered, and she leaned forward with a smirk playing on her lips, “I know you love Daisy, Iris, and Melissa so much, so do this for them.”Afterward, the smirk on her face was replaced with a fake smile, and she leaned back, “You will do it, right?”With that, Diana’s eyes turned red as tears threatened to stream down. Earlier, she had decided to keep the baby and convince Jeffrey, but now, Bella is threatening her with her family.“Yes, I will do it,” Diana replied.“Alright, I will send a car to pick you up tomorrow. Then, we will get rid of your allergy,” Bella replied tartly, and afterward, she walked out of the restaurant.As soon as Diana watched her leave and her car sped off, Diana reached for her phone and she dialed Alex’s phone number quickly. But unfortunately, Alex could not answer it. He was in a wheelchair, sitting motionless as he stared into space in the
Evelyn’s statement rang in Bella’s head and she stammered, “What?” with her body trembling at the statement, ‘Get rid of her.’“Guards, you should do your job or you will be fired. Meanwhile, Diana and Fiona should follow me,” Evelyn instructed and without a second thought, Bella moved away, being aware that the guards would definitely obey her.Immediately she moved away from them, she shot a glare at Diana, then, Evelyn, Diana, and Fiona walked away. Meanwhile, Bella was stunned by Evelyn’s actions.She didn’t expect Evelyn to visit the villa, or instruct the guards to get rid of her, especially when she is Alex’s wife, and his soon-to-be mother of his children.Just then, the same maid who repeatedly poured a liquid into the glass of water she offered to Alex passed by, with a tray and a glass of water.However, Bella spotted her and her eyes widened in shock.“Gosh, not now!” She muttered to herself, then she stopped the maid immediately. Dismissing the guards, she turned to the
