Note: Alex is the short name of Alexander.“You b*tch!” Bella scowled, then she turned to Simon, her upper lip curling in disgust.“I can't believe you trusted Sophie. Why would I be pregnant with that miserable, worthless Alex’s child?” Bella voiced out, stammering as she spoke and Simon huffed. He believed Bella was lying to him, especially when she stammered, not knowing that stammering was natural to Bella when she was anxious or confronted with fear. “You are the one who should not be trusted. I saw the pregnancy report in your handbag!” Simon barked, and Bella shook her head as she grabbed the document from the bed.“I don't care if you believe me anymore! Go to h*ll!” Bella cursed, and she reached for the door with the documents gripped in her hand. Simon grabbed her arm to stop her from leaving, then he turned her around. “You can leave but that document is mine,” He smirked, trying to grip the documents from Bella’s hand, but Bella didn't let go.“Just let it go!” Sophie i
“Someone better? What do you mean by that?!” Bella yelled, her blood boiling with anger. The nurse took a step back, caught off guard by Bella’s sudden anger. She hastily wore a fake smile to regain her composure, “I didn't mean to say anything offensive, but I was only clarifying the truth.” the nurse pleaded, not wanting to cause a violent argument.“Truth? You were literally insulting my status!” Bella replied with anger evident in her voice. The nurse heaved a sigh, realizing how her statements angered Bella and she felt remorseful. “Ma’am, calm down. This is a hospital, and it should be a quiet and safe environment for everyone.”“Yeah,” Bella declared firmly, clinging to the hopes that Alex would accept her as his wife. She laid back on the bed and she glared at the nurse. “I’m quiet because when Alex and I are together, I will invite you to our party, so there is no need to argue with you,” Bella spoke firmly while the nurse laughed, before reaching for the door.“Keep dream
The car screeched to a stop before Rex’s grand villa, which was already assigned to Alex. Carefully stepping out of the car, Bella hurriedly walked into the villa with a smile gracing her lips. Grinning from ear to ear, her heart raced.She rushed to the villa, admiring the swimming pool and lush garden. They all looked exquisite and expensive to her. Finally, she has expensive things that she could easily post on her social handles, which would gain her more followers. Bella walked majestically into the villa, swaying her hips proudly. As she got into the grand villa, she pulled off her plano eyeglasses, gaping at the golden chandelier above her.She hurriedly turned to Theo, questioning him, “Is this villa for Alex? ”“Yes,” Theo replied, and Bella’s jaw hung open. “Everything, right?” Bella asked again, gesturing at the villa.Theo nodded again, “Yes,”The villa looked more expensive than her father’s house, combined with hers. She felt her world spinning before squealing happily,
“Alright then... But since Dad assigned some bodyguards and Theo to me, I don't think there is a need to fear or be that careful.” Alex continued to eat his meal and Jack’s heart crumbled.A feeling of jealousy enveloped him, as he listened to Alex call Rex ‘Dad’. He wished he had been a good father to his biological son and was as rich as Rex. Losing his appetite at his jealous thought, Jack dropped the fork and questioned Alex.“You seem to love the noodles. Should I get more?” Jack inquired, but Alex hastily declined by shaking his head. “No, no. This plate is enough. I just want to discuss some other things with you.”“It is about my personal life, and I've not informed Rex... I mean Dad yet,” a smile lit up on Jack’s face. He instantly approaches Alex, as he was delighted to know what Alex wants to discuss with him before Rex. “Go on, son.” Jack gestured and Alex chuckled. “About the dreams I had about getting married to a woman... I met the bride physically. Turned out that we
Alex let out a weary sigh, wondering how he tolerated Bella’s attitude after their marriage. He reached up, unbuttoning his shirt as he fixed his tired gaze on the window. Just then, the room burst open, revealing Bella’s figure that stood in the doorway. Her gaze traveled to his broad back, and she took a nervous gulp before shattering the silence in the room.“So you won’t apologize to me or call me back?” Bella questioned, eyeing Alex, who hastily turned around, then he raised an eyebrow. “Why would you think I would do that? Do I apologize for no reason before?” Alex queried, while Bella pouted her lips.“Forget it,” Bella replied. Alex shrugged his shoulders and responded, “Okay,” before changing his clothes. Bella pouted again, then she approached him, with her hands wrapped around his waist. “What is wrong, hubby? You weren't like this."Looking down at her, Alex mumbled, “Maybe I changed because of your new habits of belittling people of lower status. It is not right, espec
“Cash? What do you need that for?” Alex questioned, causing Bella to shrug her shoulders.“What else?” Bella inquired.“But there is food and everything you need in this villa,” Alex replied.“Well, I need to change my wardrobe and go shopping with my female friends.” Bella giggled. “You should also remember... You promised we will go shopping.”“Yes, I do,” Alex replied.They strode to the dining room and sat down while the maids served the food. At that moment, Alex recalled what Jack had told him earlier, and he decided to discuss it with Bella.“There is something important I need to discuss with you,” Alex voiced out, capturing Bella’s attention as she looked up from her plate.“I am all ears,” Bella replied, glancing at him attentively.“Did I have some enemies or relatives who tried to kill me in the past?” Alex asked. Instantly, Bella coughed terribly. Scurrying to his feet, Alex handed a cup of water to her. She gulped it down slowly, as she took in a deep breath, preparing
“Thank you, sir,” Rita replied politely.“We should get a DNA test done, then also get you into the villa as a spy since you are more trustworthy than my other men,” Thomas rasped, and Rita nodded obediently.She grabbed her tablet quickly to begin with the arrangements for the DNA test, knowing that if the imposter was indeed posing as Alex, he would be exposed and Thomas would reward her with a fat salary.Meanwhile, Thomas leaned back in his chair, a wicked smirk forming on his face. "Once we have the evidence, we'll make sure this imposter pays for his audacity," he uttered, his voice tinged with joy.“Also, Rob was incompatible. He either failed to do the job or cooperated with Rex behind my back. Whatever he did, he must also pay for it,” Thomas added.“As you wish, sir. But what should be done to Rob?” “Execute him,” Thomas spoke tartly, causing Rita to gulp a non-existent ball of trepidation forming in her throat.“Executing him will not be a good idea, sir,” Rita uttered, he
“I-I” Bella stammered, not knowing what to say or how to convince Alex that she didn't lie to him.“Is Simon the same ex-boyfriend we discussed? The one who disturbed you when we first met at the restaurant?” Alex inquired, trying to recall their previous conversation.He remembered how Bella told him that Simon was her ex-boyfriend who continued to pester her even after she informed him about their marriage. Initially, he had struggled to believe her, but his love and affection for her had ultimately led him to trust her words.“Yes!” Bella exclaimed, her fingers fidgeting nervously, catching Alex’s attention. “So you lied to me about your brother and father leaving the country? Why would you lie to me? I am your husband, right?” Alex questioned, leaving Bella speechless.Internally, she cursed the moment she met Garrett, and herself for urging Alex to accompany her to the shopping mall.Garrett quickly interfered. “I wonder why you brought this poor man to the shopping mall. Do you
