Chapter 17

Matthew walked into their apartment uninvitedly with some huge men in black. "Search the entire house for that fool!" He ordered.

"What is going on here Matthew?" Tina asked confused at what was happening. Matthew didn't have the time to explain anything to her as his job and families life were at stake. "How dare you walk into my apartment Matthew without my consent?" Tina was furious, this was no longer a joke.

The huge men in here we're holding dangerous weapons. "Boss we couldn't find anyone!" One of the men said. Matthew was burning with range, he turned around to look at Tina, "Tell your friend to run away forever cause if she comes back to this city, I'd kill her myself!" He said before leaving.

Tina and Layla were confused at his words, they haven't seen Bella since last night and now Matthew was threatening her. What could she have done to this people? She just got here yesterday and she's already in a lot of trouble.

"What do you think Bella did?" Layla asked "I don't know, but I warned her not to mess with Lilo cause it gets bloody from there.!" She smacked her fore head and fell on the couch. "We need to find her before they do!" Tina said thinking of a way.

"What if they've already found her? If not why would she not return?" Layla said perturbed, she couldn't sit as her entire being trembled in fear.

"Here eat this!" Antonio added some vegetables to her plate. Bella just didn't know what to do, she bit her inner cheek trying to control her anxiety. "Are you alright Lilo?" Antonio asked, he's noticed her odd attitude since he brought her here. First she forged an amnesia, secondly she refused to sign the marriage contract. Just what the hell is wrong with her? "Yes I'm fine!" She smiled

She was done acting like a kid. If she needs to leave this place then she needs to be bold while she's still with this man. She decided to forget whatever problem she had for now and enjoy her time. This was a job she was going to get paid for, nothing in this life is easy. If she wants to help her family then she needs to take this risk.

She's known Lilo for the short time they talked and she knew the she was a confident and smart lady. "Why don't we go for a little picnic tomorrow, I've arranged everything we need!" Antonio initiated waiting for her response. He wanted to get close to her, all of a sudden, he was interested in her.

Bella smiled at his words, "Of course!" She said briefly. Antonio and Bella arrived at home after their sumptuous lunch together, "The food was quite tasty, wasn't it?" He said as they walked in gracefully. "Yes it was!" She replied.

She got to her room freshened up and picked up her phone hoping this time there would be service. She tried calling Tina and it went through this time. "Ah...!" Bella exclaimed excitedly.

"Bella!" Tina screamed from the other end.
