Bella gulped at his threatening statement. For the first time in her entire years with Alex, Alex threatened someone!It was a new change which Bella disliked a lot. No, his love for Diana was changing him quickly, almost too quickly!She clenched her fist and she exclaimed before Alex could step out of the room.“You love me, Alex! Diana is only a distraction because of that damn one-night you had!” She exclaimed, as she was very certain about what she said, while Alex opened the door.Just then, she exclaimed again, “I wish Diana could just sleep and never wake up! She should die and let you be!”Alex’s ears rang at that statement. How dare she wish for his wife’s death when he had always been praying for her consciousness.He faced Bella with a glare as he became annoyed. Of all insults she could say, it had to be this? Oh well, she pushed him to the wall this time.“How dare you!” Alex growled, approaching Bella with hasty steps before he gripped her neck.“Alex, what are you doi
“Huh?” Rex uttered, his eyes widening in disbelief as he was dumbfounded by the male escort’s statement.He was expecting the escort to help him, not smirk.“You know, you should just die after what you did to my parents,” the male escort hissed with, venom dripping from every word.But fortunately, the pain in Rex’s chest subsided as it allowed Rex to regain his voice. “Do I know you before?” Rex questioned cautiously, intending to not fuel the male escort’s anger.“No, you don't. But maybe after you die, you will remember who I am,” the male escort snickered, before pulling out a dagger.With that, fear struck Rex like lightning and he gasped in shock. Why would someone want to hurt him when he didn’t know what he had done wrong? His heart raced, but before the dagger could hit his stomach, he managed to summon strength, and he grabbed it, before he tried his best to push it away.Though, the male escort’s grip was very tight. He wrestled the dagger from Rex’s hand, then he attemp
“I thought you left-” Diana muttered, before she hastily covered her face with her hands.“Gosh, my cheeks are cold!” She exclaimed, not wanting Alex to notice that she had been crying. Meanwhile, Alex knew about it already.Swiftly, he approached her and folded his arms, “If Dad talks to you that way again, I want you to defend yourself instead of keeping it all to yourself.”“Huh?” Diana replied, pretending to not hear Alex’s statement since she was scared of separating Alex from Rex with her rumored bad luck.“It’s not like he is not going to die soon anyways, so at least he should spend time laughing with us now,” Alex mumbled, before sitting next to Diana.“Or do you think we should move out?” Alex inquired, causing Diana to quickly shook her head.“No, no! We should spend more time with him since this is the time he needs his family more,” Diana suggested quickly.With that statement, Alex huffed. He understood that she was too naive, and that she was only doing it to make Rex h
Diana and Alex spent the night affectionately and the night passed by like a fleeting time.***‘Celebrating a decade of medical milestones: Kingston Hospital 10th anniversary’ was boldly visible on the large banner as the hospital staffs walked into the hall.Also, Diana and Alex walked into the decorated hospital event hall with Diana’s arm wrapped around his elbow.She had a wide smile on her face, and she squealed in excitement, “This is the first time I got invited to the hospital’s anniversary. Aw, I feel so lucky!”“Well, you should be grateful that I saw the invitation mail in your email first,” Alex replied, causing Diana to whisper, “I’m very grateful... this means a lot to me.”Just then, Fiona walked past them, deliberately bumping her shoulder into Diana’s shoulder. “Ouch,” Diana mumbled, feeling a little pain as Fiona’s shoulder brushed against her shoulder.“Is everything alright?”Alex questioned, as soon as he heard her mumble.“It’s fine,” Diana replied quickly, bef
“I apologize for whatever inconvenience my daughter caused, sir. Nothing of that sort will occur again,” Mr. Watson pleaded, causing Fiona to furrow her brows in confusion.“Dad, what are you doing?! You are only ruining things!” Fiona yelled, but Mr. Watson kept his head in that bent position, not paying heed to Fiona’s statement.Then, Alex coughed, breaking the silence the room was enveloped in.“It’s fine, as long as my wife is not offended,” Alex responded, and with that, Mr. Watson bowed his head again, as he muttered, “Thank you so much, sir!”Afterward, he left Diana and Alex’s side quickly, while Fiona followed him.“Dad, what was that all about?! Why did you do that in everyone’s presence?” Fiona questioned, almost bursting into tears since she felt like her whole ego had been destroyed.“I will explain everything to you later. For now, keep your mouth shut,” Mr. Watson instructed, before shifting his gaze to the stage.Just then, Ben, who is also the hospital’s director too
“Alright, then let's move out of here. She won't be permitted to stay in my villa, so let's stay there instead,” Alex responded, but with that, Diana considered the options carefully.“It is better to stay in the same villa with Rex and make him happy while he is alive than to leave him when he needs us the most,” she thought.“It’s fine, I will stay in the guest room,” Diana replied, and Alex heaved a sigh of relief.“But...” She continued, before whispering, “Stay away from her. I’m sure she has an evil plan, so please stay away from her while she is here.”Alex nodded, intending to resolve the misunderstanding, and he pulled Diana into a soft embrace, before mumbling, “I will keep my distance.”***Bella’s phone rang loudly, but when she touched her phone, it displayed the caller ID - Unknown Number.At first, she didn't answer the call but when she recalled that Garrett constantly changed his phone number, she answered the call, assuming that it was her brother, Garrett.“Bella?”
The call ended and Bella blew out her cheeks in relief.“What a day! Finally, I can be free and I don't have to stoop so low to begging a poor, fat duck,” Bella uttered, then she reached for the door to leave the room, only for the door to barge open.Click-clack!Click-clack!Click-clack!A few maids walked into the room, causing Bella to sneer because they didn't knock before they barged into the room.“Hey, why did you barge in that way?!” Bella growled, and a maid turned to her politely, before answering her question, “Sir Alex instructed us to pack his and Ma. Diana’s belongings.”“What? I mean... Why? Are they leaving this villa?” Bella questioned quickly, and the maid shook her head in response.“No, they are only moving to the guest room,” the maid replied, then she assisted the other maids in packing Alex and Diana’s belongings. Meanwhile, Bella smirked, “The game has just begun,” before she gently folded her arms across her chest.***A Bugatti car was neatly parked in a pa
The receptionist’s eyes widened as she tried to process what Juliet said. “Mr? Mrs. Juliet referred to this poor man as Mr?” She thought, then she rolled her eyes and shook her head in disbelief.“No, maybe I misunderstood her actions. But why would the manager, who earns double or triple my salary bow to the poor man I insulted? Is he from an influential background?!” She thought, before turning to Juliet who raised her head and faced Alex.“Nice to meet you, Mr. Alex! But I'm surprised you came,” Juliet exclaimed, a wide grin appearing on her face like she would earn billions of dollars by grinning.“Ma, do you know him?” The receptionist asked cautiously, her voice quivering a bit, with curiosity tinged in it. She was very eager to know the reason why Juliet was treating Alex with respect again, since she was certain that she heard Juliet say Mr. Alex again. Meanwhile, Alex smirked at her question. He knew that she would be surprised to know that he was wealthy, but as life ofte
