Chapter 19

N"listen dullard, you have no idea what I'm going through pretending to be someone I'm not. The least you could do now is sit in your stupid house and watch a movie instead of threatening my friends!" Bella said sternly. "It seems you have forgotten your place in this job, you acting to be Lilo doesn't make you Lilo!" Matthew said.

"Baby are you alright?" Antonio's words startled her and she quickly cut the call. "Yes I'm fine!" She said with a smile. She didn't know how long she could pull off this act but she was determined to go through with this. "Let's go out for a walk come on!" Antonio offered stretching his hands and Bella got hold of it.

They both walked out of the mansion, into the beautiful garden. Bella took a deep breath inhaling the sweet smell of flowers, she closed her eyes tight as her lips curved into a smile. Her eyes slid open when she felt Antonio's hands on hers, he placed a diamond ring on her fingers.

He couldn't tell why he was suddenly attracted to this woman, it's not like it's the first time he's seeing her. Bella was voiceless by his acts, now he was close to her she could see how handsome Antonio was clearly. "Master Antonio!" Edmund's words broke them off their daze, they've been starring at each other for Who knows how long.

"What is it?" Asked Antonio, "Gabish is here to see you!" Edmund said. "Tell him I'm on my way!" Came Antonio's reply and Edmund bowed before leaving. "I'll be back!" Antonio said as he left. Bella received another call the moment Antonio walked away. "Make up an excuse and leave that house now!" Was the order she got when she picked the call.

It was a female voice she heard and it was non other than Lilo. "I've tried leaving but he refused!" Bella tried to explain to Lilo. "Why are you a kid? Do I always have to do everything myself? I'm not paying you if you don't have the guts to handle a situation like this!" Lilo said sternly.

"Are you trying to steal my husband? Now explain what happened between you two last night and why no one was able to reach you?" Lilo asked. "My phone was switched off by your husband, maybe if you had given me a heads-up I would have known how to tackle this issue!" Bella said.

"I don't need to give you anything, you should always be ready for whatever, especially a situation like this one!" Lilo said. "Now walk up to him and tell him you need to leave urgently and because an emergency came up. This would be the last time I would teach you a job I hired you for, unless you have another motive. Make sure to always stay in your lane Bella!" Lilo said unhurriedly and hunged up.

Bella was so upset at her words but she had to do the needful as quick as possible. She wanted to leave this house since last night but now she has the chance to leave why was she getting upset.
