Chapters

Chapter 7

Bella is sitting outside her hostel, her face fixed to one position, tears rolling down her cheeks, her brain flicking through everything that has happened within the last 48 hours.

The decision had been made. Mrs. Harper carried Emily's still body and returned to California, Bella on her own, cried violently nothing mattered anymore she wanted to go back home.

But her mother had to stop her, she was to continue her schooling and come home a graduate. These were her mother's words before leaving the hospital.

Bella's memory flashed back:.

"You need to eat something Bella" Charlotte lectured

"If you don't eat, you'll die." Allison added

"Then let me die" Bella's dramatic voice filled the air.

"It was my fault she died I don't deserve to live" Bella screamed as if she were losing her mind and her friends worried.

"It's not your fault, you need to calm down Bella please" Allison said frightened.

"Well if you're looking for someone to blame, start with Queen Bee Angella she was the one that threatened you" Charlotte added sarcastically.

"What? Charlotte! Don't say that, Angella can't be that heartless........ Can she?"

"You're right ?" The first words Bella had said confidently in two days, she turned and looked at Allison.

"She said she was going to make me pay. She did this!" Bella screamed as she stood up

"Where are you going?" Charlotte glared at her with the do-not-do-something-stupid look.

"I am going to teach her a lesson." Bella responded as she whipped her tears, carried her hand bag and stormed off.

"Damn it, how could you!" Charlotte snapped at Angella

"I didn't know she was going to take it to heart"

"We have to look for her," Charlotte said, grabbing her phone and walking out of the house with Angella.

THE VALE MANSION

"Well it seems like you were trying to help her out and flying her mother here in your private jet wow!" Leo sounded jealous. He stood up, walked to the wine cellar, picked up his favorite wine and poured himself a glass.

"Do you think I would be that gullible, well I have a reason for doing everything I did" Benson defended

If it was the last thing he'd do on earth, it was to keep his pride and arrogance; he wasn't trading it for any reason.

"And what's the reason Mr. Benson?" Leo mocked as he handed him the glass.

"I am going to get her to marry me!"

"What?!" Leo choked

He looked at Benson he was dead serious he wasn't smiling one bit

"Wait.... Are you serious?" He growled

"Yes! What were you thinking? Did you forget our problem Leo? I have to get a girlfriend in less than a week! And today is Thursday"

Leo stared at Benson with disbelief

"So what are you going to do? How do you intend achieving this great master piece of yours"

"I am going to find Bella and offer her a deal, she'd be my contracted wife for a year while I help her find who killed her sister" Benson gulped the drink down, picked up his suit and was about to walk away, he stops half away to the door and without turning

"And yes Leo this is between the both of us you're taking it to your grave" he sounded dead serious and walked out of the door.

Leo stared with ultimate disgust he gulped down his drink with anger, he hated the fact that Benson was going to treat Bella this way in her vulnerable state.

He knew Benson was heartless but being selfish and wicked was never part of the plan.

ANGELLA'S MANSION

Bella consistently kept pressing the doorbell wanting to get inside she was already consumed with so much rage her entire life was a mess

"Open this door!" She started screaming

It didn't take her anything to locate Angella's house, since she was Queen bee all she had to do was ask questions.

Standing from the outside Bella couldn't help but notice how magnificent Angella's house looked, yes she was a liar but honestly the girl came from so much wealth

Her mouth watered from the beautiful view outside the estate gate

"Whose that crazy thing that wants to destroy the gates that her entire generations can't afford" Angella's voice from the other end of the gate snapped Bella back to reality

And within minutes the gates were opened

Angella stood at the other extreme holding a glass of justice dressed in a beautiful ball gown. Maybe she wants to show off to Bella.

On seeing her Bella charged with anger boiling through her veins she ran straight to Angella and attempted to push her down but two huge men dragged her back roughly and restrained her

"Listen Bella we are not at school you can't just randomly slap Angella Browns twice I mean the first one was a mistake and I made sure you paid for it" Angella smiled her eyes directly at Bella's and that's when Bella realized

"It was you!" She screamed tears pouring out from her eyes

"You killed my sister!" She shouted again

"How could you! I am going to expose you I will make sure of that"

"Where's the proof" Angella scoffed as she looked at her new polished nails

"Listen to me Bella if you don't want yourself getting killed by your pathetic sister you'd get the hell out of here and never return, there's no proof that I killed-what's her name again -Emily so if you don't want me making your life miserable you'd stay shut" she screamed into her face and ordered the men throw her outside.

Bella stood for what felt like hours her brain spinning in circles not just did Angella kill her sister she had no atom of empathy at all

Was this how the rich were? Wicked, selfish and heartless she thought her eyes were already swollen. She turned and found her way and started walking. She got to a bar at the extreme end of the Estate and walked back inside.

On seeing her the bar attendant walked up to her

"Ma'am, uhm.... I'm so sorry I'm not sure you can afford anything in here" the lady was brutal, but she was right. She told the truth.

Bella glared at her angrily and this made the last asked

"I'm sorry ma'm what would you like to drink?"

"Whisky" Bella requested as she buried her head on the table

"Alright ma"

A few minutes later the drink was brought and she started to gulp it down.

BENSON POV

Benson walked into the bar he needed to strategize how he was going to bring the topic up to Bella and doing that over a drink was the perfect idea

"Just say you want to get closer to her and you're using this as an excuse" his inner voice pricked him

"Shut the fuck up!" He silenced it

He caught sight with Bella and walked up to her

"Let me make you a deal."

The moment she stepped into the wrong restroom, everything changed. Hailey had only been at Hillsworth College for a day, a fresh scholarship student, eager yet nervous. She had simply been looking for the restroom, but fate had other plans. The thick scent of smoke filled her lungs the second she pushed the door open. The air was dense, intoxicating. Her breath hitched when she saw him. A dangerously handsome guy. He leaned lazily against the sink, a cigarette dangling from his lips, his sharp eyes flickering toward her. Tattoos curled around his arms like inked secrets, and silver rings glinted from his eyebrow and tongue. A dangerous smirk lifted his lips as he exhaled a cloud of smoke. "Lost, princess?" He asked with a smirk, raking her with his eyes from head to toe. Hailey 's heart pounded. This was the boys' restroom. And somehow, she had just collided with trouble. ___ Hailey had learned early on that life was rarely fair. She barely remembered her parents, their faces were blurry images in an old photo album she had once clung to as a child. After their deaths, she was taken in by her uncle, the only family she had left. At first, life had been tolerable-until he died too. That was when everything changed. Her uncle's wife, Cecilia, had never truly cared for her, but after his death, the cold indifference turned to outright cruelty. Hailey became the unwanted burden in their home, forced to endure harsh words and extra chores. Unlike her cousin, Brielle, who lived in luxury and had everything handed to her, Hailey had to fight for the smallest things. When Cecilia refused to pay for her education, she had thought her dreams were over. But then the scholarship to Hillsworth College came like a miracle. She studied tirelessly, poured everything into that exam, and when the results came in, she had been one of the few selected. It was her chance at freedom, her chance to escape. There was just one problem. Hillsworth was Brielle's school. And if there was one thing Hailey knew, it was that her cousin would make her life miserable. But none of that compared to the storm she was about to walk into. Wanna know what the encounter with the bad boy leads to? Come with me 🫣
