Christian's POV
I regret not telling Bella that I met her mum six years ago after I saw Bianca. Her mum was really pissed when I explained what happened to her. She was really mad at me, mad at Austin, mad at Bianca and above all she was really mad at her daughter but their was nothing she could have done to Bella because of what happened to her. I guess her brothers still resent me because of what happened. Everyone thinks that I don't have a heart because I act cold towards everyone but that's not the case. I became cold after the whole Bella situation. I used to be a playboy who doesn't like sleeping with the same woman twice. I was the the one night stand kinda guy but with Bella I felt that attraction. I tried countless times to go out with other women but it just wouldn't work because all I see is Bella. My mum became so worried at a point that she would set me up with different women on blind dates but I wouldn't even go talk less of see them. I really do not want to commit to any woman so I prefer to keep it casual and I never sleep with women in my house talk less of in my bed. The first woman have ever brought to my house was Bella and that was over a year ago when I got her kidnapped. Looking back at the way I handled things Bella must really hate me.
Bella's mum Vera was really curious about what Bella knew and how she found out that she lost her memory so I had to explain to her
She asked the twins to excuse us so we could talk
So tell me Chris how did she find out?
Am sure you must have triggered it. Ella is always very inquisitive when it comes to things she doesn't know and this was the main reason why I kept her away from you.
Bella is no longer a kid and I think it's only right for you, for us to be honest with her. She needs to know. Don't you think it'll be unfair for her not to know
I know Ella is no longer a kid but she's still my daughter and I know what's best for her so we won't be talking about it anymore and stay the hell away from my daughter
I know she's your daughter and it's only right for you to want to protect her but if you're been honest with yourself, you're not protecting her by hiding the truth from her especially now that she knows she had lost her memory
What?! You told her, you fucking told her?
Vera asked in a shocking tone.
No Vera I didn't tell her, she found out on her own so I had to explain to her. Although I can't say am innocent. Am part of the reasons she found out that she had lost her memory because I had asked her if she remembered me or not.
Why would you ask her that stupid question you selfish jerk. Didn't you even think about the adverse effect it could have on her.
I did, honestly I did, I tried really hard to stay away from her , I tried so hard not to ever mention it . That's why it took me six years to find my way back to her. I could have looked for her all this while if I wanted to but I didn't because I was holding myself back. It was fate that brought us back together and I honestly can't let her go now.
So did she say she regained her memory? If she did I need to go scold her. Vera said leaving to go to Bella but I held her back
No she hasn't regained her memory but I told her what I knew. I told her how we met and what happened afterwards and I think she's really mad at everyone of you right now because you guys didn't tell her. She said she probably would've regained her memory if you guys were helpful and she's really hurt because she doesn't even remember her first time
Oh I guess that explains why she's mad at me then but it wasn't my fault she lost her virginity at seventeen to a total stranger and I had taught her enough to have had the sense not to drink at such a young and have a one night stand. What if she had gotten pregnant or what if you were some kind of psycho. Any time she says mum are you not proud of your virgin daughter, it's always like she's piercing a iron into my heart. Am just thankful that she's still here with us
Yes am happy she's here too. I said smiling . I reached for Vera's hand
Don't be too hard on yourself and don't be had on Bella too I beg of you. She was young and naive. Everything was my fault. I should have known better and I really love Bella. I fall deeply in love with her every single day .
Vera was crying at this point so I pulled her in for a hug.
I promise to make her happy at all times so please don't hate me and give us as chance
Vera released me from the hug and said
If you ever break my daughter heart. I promise you I'll break your balls. She said smiling
Okay. I'll keep that in mind, I said smiling my ear to ear. I need to get back to work now I have a meeting by twelve and please don't be too hard on Bella I said closing the door behind me.
The meeting lasted longer than expected due to some issues on one of the recently purchased lands in South Africa meant for a seven star hotel. Luckily we were able to resolve the issue without stress.
Bella was on my mind through out the meeting so I had to give her a call immediately after the meeting. Although she sounded uninterested but am still happy to hear her voice.
