Till We Meet Again | The Ceo's Absent Lover

55| LEAVE HIM

Bella realized that it might be Katelyn Forbes, "You can send her up, now is that all."

"Yes." the receptionist replied.

After a while, there was a knock at the door. 

"Enter," Bella commanded.

Katelyn entered the office with a smug smile on her face. She scanned the office, then look back at Bella. "Your office is not that Bad."

"What's your reason for being here?" Bella ignored her comment and asked.

"You need to stop visiting Adane at his office. It might give off the wrong idea."

"If I live with him, why should I not visit him at his office?"

"You..." Katelyn pointed. "How much do you want? I can give you a 500 million for you to leave him alone. I'm sure that can cover your expenses for the rest of your life."

"Is that how little you value Adane, 500 million does not cut it. Give me your life and I'll surely leave him alone."

"You little bitch, you think you're all that. Ofcourse he is worth more than that, but you surely don't."

"Well if your going to give me that amount, I'm afraid that I'll need more for the kids. We have five children together afterall. What if the judge deems me unworthy for taking care of the childrden because I am financially unstable."

Katelyn then glared at Bella as she clenched her hands into fists." Three months ago Katelyn had sent someone to follow Adane. That day Adane went to the park to see Bella. In the picture, Adane and Bella were standing and holding the kids at their side. She thought back then that it was just a woman getting close to Adane. She didn't think that the kids were theirs either as Bella looked very young. She then devised a plan to kill Bella as no one should get close to Adane. Katelyn later found out from Adane that the lady she attempted to kill was the mother of his children. At that time she thought that Adane was just messing with her. 'How could he have kids and I wasn't aware?' she thought. It just didn't make sense. Why would his parents let us get engaged if he already had kids, shouldn't they have told her?

Adane then threatened her and told her not to meddle in his affairs then broke off the engagement. About two months later, There was a scandal between Kay and Carlos. When Katelyn saw the news she recalled that the lady in the picture had the exact features as Kay. That day she wanted to tell Adane about what she had discovered, but she could not get to him. Yesterday she was trying her luck, she came to the AB building to visit Adane when the receptionist Mia, told her about Bella. She thought Bella was Kay, so she started an argument.

Katelyn then found out that Kay and Bella were twins.

Adane and Bella had children together, not one but five. She was irritated. 'How could this happen?'

"I'll give you six billion then, one billion for each of you. Now leave him."

"Wow, Ms Forbes. I didn't know that you had that much money. With your status, I don't understand why Adane wouldn't want you by his side. Maybe I am the only one he loves. Are you sure you have that much money to spare? Six Billion dollars is quite a handful."

"You bitch, are you looking down on me? How dare you. Do you think he is with you because he loves you? He is with you because of the kids. You better take the money and leave. Because when he is done with you, you won't have anything left."

Bella smiled "If Ms Forbes knew so much about Adane, why bother to be with him?"

"I love him."

Bella scoffed, "You love him, wow." Bella stood up and started clapping, "If he was to give me everything that he had, and I leave him, would you still want to be with him?"

"He is not so foolish to give you everything. I know him."

Bella placed her hands on her desk and leaned over. "That does not answer my question. If Adane was broke, had no status, he didn't even know how he was going to get his next meal would you still be with him?"

Katelyn hesitated for a moment before replying yes.

"Okay," Bella replied.

"So you are taking the six billion?"

Bella sat back down, "Why would I take six billion from you when I can ask Adane for more than ten times the amount? Don't be silly Ms Forbes." Bella chuckled, she wanted Katelyn to get irritated.

"It seems as if Miss Cain is with Adane for the money."

"And if I was?" Bella paused, "The difference between you and I is that, unlike you, I prefer to earn my own money rather than depending on others. Miss Forbes, if this is all you came for, please leave."

"You..." She was cut off by Bella

Bella's voice was soft yet aloof and superior "I know who is responsible for my accident three months ago, I'm sure I wasn't the only one who befell that scheme. A lady also died, so Miss Forbes, are we done here."

Katelyn remained silent. "This is not over," she said as she turned to leave.

"A person doesn't get a second chance twice," Bella said as Katelyn left.

Bella continued doing her work. ...

On the other side of the city, Adane was in David's office.

"If Abby is your child, are you going to take her away?"

"No." David responded in a neutral tone, "She has already lost a lot and she has formed bonds with your children. Her living at my house won't give her comfort. I know I'll be there but she won't receive that much attention as when she is around them. I want her to have a happy childhood."

"So you want me to take care of your child?" Adane asked.

David shook his head, "That's not what I'm saying. I'll let Abby decide. I don't know how to explain to her for me being absent in her life for all those years. If I had known that Anna was pregnant back then, I would have tried harder."

"The results aren't out as yet and you are getting so sentimental." Adane chuckled. He was happy he was able to find Bella and to know that she kept his children.

"I know she is mine. I know that I am not the only one who would have thought that Abby and the girls are biological sisters. The boys look more like us, but the girls also have some of your features."

"Okay," Adane responded, he, too could see the similarities among the girls so he didn't pry in the matter any further. "The boys are not yours. 'us' you intentionally said that. If Abby is your child, then who is Annabella Munn?"
