Chapter 3 - Chapter 2: Background

After harry ended the call, he just kept looking at the rumped $1000 bill in his hands and couldn't help but chuckle a little before putting the money in his pocket..." Isabella....dear Bella, you don't know who you are messing with". He said with a scary yet firm voice.

A Few Hours Later,

Bella's home was far from where harry lived, especially because she couldn't navigate her way out. Her only way out was to ask the driver and passers-by for directions. As time went by, Bella drifted off into a deep sleep. She was so exhausted after all the running from her so-called "suitor".

Yes, Bella was arranged to be married to a crazy and possessive billionaire. According to her parents, he was the son of her dad's business partner and trusted friend. Her being the only girl in her family, her dad decided it will be best if she marries a rich and powerful person but stubborn Bella refused because he was 40 years old and she was just 20 years old.

She didn't want to get married to him because she didn't love or care for him but he loved her so much that he persuaded her dad into marriage with her. Bella had just finished university and was working as an intern in a hospital located in her hometown. Fortunately, she was able to finish her internship program before she left her hometown.

Bella had no other choice but to marry the elderly man. After 5 months the wedding took place in a court because Bella couldn't even call that man her husband to be and couldn't stand the thought of kissing him. It made her want to puke. After the wedding then came their honeymoon. it was supposed to be a day of love but Bella made it her mission to cause pain.

That evening, her " husband" had bought a hotel room for that night. It was time. Bella had a chance to run, so she said she was going down to the reception hall but instead she called an Uber and booked a ticket to England and was off. Her "husband" was scared when he noticed his wife had not come back after an hour and when he called the receptionist he was shocked by the news. The next day, he hired private investigators and requested for the police to search the whole city but the search was all in vain. He was devastated. Meanwhile, on the airplane, Bella sipped her red wine as a smile etched on her face as she watched the tv screen which flashed "MISSING WOMAN" in bold letters. She was even more delighted when she saw that there was a reward of $8,000,000.

"Foolish old man, eight million dollar reward, how I was that money could be mine," she said while grinning ear to ear.

A few Hours Later.

Bella finally arrived in England and was so happy and excited to start a new life. She was so weary she decided to stop at a hotel to rest. After she took her bath, she went to the hotel's bar and got drunk which was when a fine young man (harry) carried her to his villa which brings us back to her current state.

After an hour and few minutes of driving, they finally got to her friend's house. She didn't know anyone but she had a very close friend in England.

"We are here madam" said they driver making bella awaken from her nap. "Oh..thank you so much sir" said bella as she pulled out a 500 pounds for the driver who was in shock. "Madam, your is 100 pounds....." said the driver. "Don't worry about it sir.... keep the change, I insist " said bella as she walked towards her friend's house.

"Alright, Is that all?" asked Harry. "No sir...she was also arranged to be married" replied the man. "Arranged to be married!!!. With who?" asked Harry with a firm voice. "Um...um...mmm...M..Mr Chester Jones sir" said the man with a nervous voice. "What!?" exclaimed harry
