Christabella's POV
My whole family used to live in Manchester before my dad decided to leave us for his mistress. My mum has been hearing rumors about my Dad cheating on her but she never believed it because of how much she loved and trusted him despite the fact that he treated her badly. He would beat my mum to stupor at the slightest argument. He didn't even stop when my mum became pregnant with the twins, he was just helplessly wicked.
My mum gave him all the benefit of doubt until she woke up one morning to discover my dad had ran away. He sold the house, my mum's car and my mum's restaurant that she worked hard to build. This man shamelessly left with everything my mum worked so hard for. He left us with nothing but a letter.
Vera, sorry you had to find out this way but I no longer love you, I love Patricia now and we are starting our own family. Our divorce arrangement has been completed. Am sure you didn't know you signed the divorce papers because I never told you what it was. The guarantor form I told you to append your signature on was actually not what I told you it was, it's the divorce paper. Take care of your kids. Bye I hope we never meet again. Oh I forgot to mention that I sold the house, the cars and the restaurant and am glad I am leaving you with nothing so enjoy your miserable life without me.
My mum couldn't deal with the shock for months. She almost ran mad but she became strong for her kids so we had to relocate to London to start a new life. It's been fifteen years since we left this city and it feels just like yesterday. I decided to visit one of my favorite parks to pass time. Most of my schedules were the same with Lillian's and Alexia so we've become closer and we've been visiting places together like we did in New York.
Our flight landed in London at exactly 4:59pm, I decided to put a call through to Jay to come pick me up since Christian didn't allow me to drive myself to the airport in the morning.
I saw Chris smiling at me at the entrance of the airport by the time I arrived at the airport lobby. He's probably here for business I thought to myself. He wore a maroon suit with a black shirt and tie. I can literally hear my heart beating so fast because of how hot he looked in that piece.
Hi butterfly, he said with the brightest smile ever.
Good evening sir, I replied
How was your trip?
Was fun and you how was your day?
My day was ok, just like every other day. He said collecting my box.
Why are you here though?
You ask too many questions butterfly, isn't it obvious?
No it's not. I said shrugging. You might be here for a business meeting?
No darling am here to pick you up.He said putting my box in his car.
But I already asked Jayden and he's on his way
Don't worry Sweetheart he's not coming. I already told him I was going to pick you up
Oh wow, why didn't he mention it then?
Because I told him to keep it a secret. I wanted it to be a surprise.
Oh right, but you know you shouldn't be seen with me in public right?
What do you mean by that?
Chris you're the most wanted billionaire bachelor on the continent, isn't it obvious that people will be curious about who you end up with. They'll do anything to get an exclusive. I honestly don't want to wake up tomorrow morning and see my face plastered everywhere.
Am sorry, I didn't think of that , I was just so excited to see you. I'll inform Elliot to stop any form of scandal from coming up.
I heard my phone ring while Chris was still focused on driving. It was Bianca
Hey B
Oh my God Bell , have been trying to reach you since
Sorry B my phone was on airplane mood. I just got back to London.
Bell turn your tv on or read the latest news. Babes you guys are trending on Twitter. Infact you're number one in the trend table.
What do you mean B, I don't understand.
Read the news girl. Where are you by the way?
On my way home.
You can't go home Bell. She shouted
Am sure the reporters will be outside your house by now .
When I heard reporters I knew right then that the did as been done. I decided to put the phone on speaker so I can check what Bianca was talking about.
Did you drive to the airport?
No, Chris drove me and am currently in his car
Good. Tell Chris not to take you home. I would have asked you to come over but I can see reporters outside.
Why, what's going on? Chris asked.
Even you, you've not seen the news? Bianca asked
I don't know what's you're talking about.
Just take Bell to a safe place for now. I'll talk to you guys later
Okay B, thanks
