LOGINGrant's POVThe moment I got home, I rushed out of my car and hurried into the house. My heart was beating so fast because I was hoping Bella was home. All the way back, I had been thinking about her. I wanted to apologize to her and make things right between us."Bella!" I called loudly as I stepped into the living room. My voice echoed through the house, but there was no answer.A worried feeling settled in my chest.I walked quickly to the kitchen."Bella, are you here?" I asked, looking around.The kitchen was empty.I frowned and hurried upstairs. I pushed open the bedroom door, hoping to see her sitting on the bed or standing by the window."Bella?" I called again, this time more softly.Nothing.The room was empty."No..." I whispered, shaking my head.I searched every room in the house. I opened every door, looked inside every bathroom, checked the guest rooms, the balcony, and even the backyard. She was nowhere to be found.I stopped in the middle of the living room and rubbe
Bella's POV"I think you have to take me to the hospital," I said, trying to stay calm. "I need to see my mother."Kaida looked at me with concern. She slowly stood up from the bed."Madam... are you sure this is the right thing to do?" she asked gently.I nodded without hesitation."Yes," I replied. "I have to see her. I can't stay here after hearing something like that. I need to know how she's doing with my own eyes."Kaida studied my face for a moment. She could see I had already made up my mind."All right," she said softly. "I'll go with you."I gave her a thankful smile."Thank you."Together, we walked out of my room. My heart felt heavy with every step. My mind was filled with so many questions.Why didn't anyone tell me my mother was in the hospital? The more I thought about it, the more guilty I felt.If what Kaida said was true, then my mother had been suffering while I knew nothing about it.As we walked down the stairs, the house felt strangely quiet. The maids lowered
Bella's POVI woke up slowly and looked around the room. The other side of the bed was empty.Grant was gone.I frowned as I sat up, rubbing my sleepy eyes. It was strange. He usually stayed until I woke up, or at least left a note for me. I glanced at the clock on the bedside table."He left so early today," I whispered to myself.For a moment, I wondered if something important had come up. Maybe he had work to do. Maybe he didn't want to wake me. Even so, I couldn't stop myself from feeling a little disappointed.I climbed out of bed, freshened up, and changed into a simple dress. After brushing my hair, I left the room and walked downstairs.The moment I entered the living room, all the maids stopped what they were doing."Good morning, ma'am," they greeted together."Good morning," I replied with a smile.As I looked around, my eyes suddenly landed on a familiar face standing near the hallway."Kaida?"She turned to look at me, It had been a long time since I had seen her.I walk
Grant POVI stepped out of the car, and Sky came out right behind me.We walked toward the tall building while one of the bodyguards quickly opened the glass door for us.The place was huge. It was one of the biggest companies owned by the Romano family. The building looked expensive, with polished floors, large glass windows, and security guards standing at every corner.I looked around as we walked inside.Why did Grandfather call me here?He only told me it was important and that I should come immediately. I thought it was about business because he had been talking about handing more responsibilities over to me.But the moment I entered the meeting room, I knew this wasn't a normal business meeting.Alessandro was already there, the moment our eyes met, the air in the room became tense.He sat quietly in one of the chairs, his expression cold and unreadable. His men stood behind him with their arms folded, watching every move I made.Sky stopped beside me, ready in case anything ha

One of the guards quickly stepped forward and opened the back door.Alessandro stepped out of the car without saying a word. He looked calm on the outside, but the anger burning inside him was clear from the hard look on his face. His jaw was tight, and his fists were clenched by his sides. Several of his men followed closely behind as he walked toward the mansion.The guards standing at the entrance lowered their heads respectfully. Alessandro ignored them and walked straight to the security door. He placed his thumb on the fingerprint scanner. A soft beep sounded, and the heavy door unlocked.Without waiting, he pushed it open and entered the house.The room was quiet.Mr. Romano was sitting comfortably in a large chair, reading some documents.
