• Forced to become the Mafia's possession    Brother in law

  Oswald knocked on Esther's door at the dead of the night. He had to inquire in their old neighborhood to find out where she moved to. And it was not far. He knows that its not ideal to knock on a woman's door at this hour. But he couldn't wait. Especially after he saw Bella interacting with the Chandlers. Esther, who was unable to sleep because she was thinking about Christian was startled to hear the knock on her door. She thought that it would be Christian who is determined to piss her off these days. So she pulled a robe over her night gown before storming to her door with every intention to give Christian a piece of her mind. But when she opened the door and found a stranger, she immediately tried to close the door. But Oswald stopped her. "Esthi, its me" Oswald explained hastily. Esther froze in shock. One hand still holding the half closed door while the other hand on the door frame. Only one person calls her as 'Esthi'. And its her brother -in-law who used to treat her like

  "Miss Adam's, I heard there was some misunderstanding today. I hope you could forgive my son for the trouble he caused you" Butch interjected Bella when she was passing by. Bella looked startled, as she was not expecting Butch Chandler to speak with her, and on top of that, he was apologizing on his son's behalf. Nonetheless, she gave the senior Chandler a polite smile. She heard that the senior Chandler is a very smart man in business. But she is starting to think that Micah might not have inherited that trait from his father. Micah is like a spoiled prince who wanted everyone to fawn over him like peacocks. "No problem" Bella paused in her strides momentarily to acknowledge the Chandlers. She gave the senior a smile that she bet wouldn't have reached her eyes. Butch felt a sense of uneasiness when he looked at Bella. He knows who she is. And the look in her eyes felt like he is facing Oswald and not Bella. A chill of uneasiness ran down his spine when he remembered the flash

• Forced to become the Mafia's possession    Shares

  "Twenty percent shares of the Chandlers group" Kai named his price. Butch Chandler was stunned to hear this. His face turned pale and all the colour drained out of his face. Butch bought this company from Oswald at a very low price. Oswald was the foundation of the Chandler group. But he refused to use underhanded methods to gain profits. He used to work hard, but still they struggled in the beginning. Just when the company started to see profits, Oswald decided to give up. Butch could have told Oswald that they are seeing profits. But he didn't. As Oswald was mostly into designing, Butch used to look after the administration side of the company. So Oswald never knew that his company was gaining profits. But after Oswald left, Butch could no longer hold the company because it was Oswald's designs that made their company a hit. But then, he decided to beg Deluca's help and hired a top notch designer with Christian's help. Without the Deluca's, the Chandlers group can collapse at any

  "Did I make you sad?" he inquired with genuine concern. Bella shook her head. She didn't say anything. Instead, she walked towards him and settled down on his lap. For a fleeting moment, she entertained the though of how it would be if she dated Kai. But brushed it off soon after. He is a nice man, and she doesn't want to risk loosing this carefree moments with him by making it complicated. "No, thank you" she whispered softly. He raised his eyebrows in question. "For what? They bullied you and I dealt with it. They shouldn't have made you sad. I will make sure no one bullies you again" he promised. She gave him a smile that is different than her usual smiles. This one is different. More softer, more meaningful, and much more confusing. He didn't want to dwell into it. He like her, he knows that now. If not, he wouldn't have rushed here leaving everything abruptly. He was busy when the Dean called him. He already knows that she is his priority after the Desmond issue

• Forced to become the Mafia's possession    Cold feet

  "Micah, why don't we just let this slide? After all, I don't want to ruin Bella's future" Renee pretended to be righteous and considerate. Micah is not so sure about his move right now. Now its not just his ego on the line, its his future as the Chandlers CEO. 'Don't you ever mess up with the President of the Celestine University' His father's grim warning and the tremor that he noticed while speaking about this mysterious President is still as fresh in his mind as it was a few weeks ago. So he decided to let this matter go. And more over, it's a loss for him to end up on Bella's bad side. She is smart and he needs employees like her to take the Chandlers to a new height. Bella on the other hand rolled her eyes at Renee's act. Just when Micah decided to give up, Bella taunted them. "Cold feet? Didn't you want my apology any longer? Didn't I abuse you Renee? Then why pretend now? Scared to face the President?" Bella taunted Renee. Renee glared at Bella, while Micah gritted his

• Forced to become the Mafia's possession    Call the Dean

  "What does it look like?" Bella countered, least bit bothered about getting on Micah's bad side. Micah is upset. He liked Bella, but she is head strong and very arrogant. He knows that she is super smart, but still what she did now is wrong. So he decided to teach her a lesson so that she would understand how powerful and influential he is. "Bella, apologize to Renee and I will not pursue this matter for the sake of our friendship" he demanded. Bella's face twisted with anger. "Friendship? What friendship are you taking about? If you were really my friend, then you would have asked me what happened instead of coming to conclusions" she muttered. She never considered Micah as her friend. He is merely an entitled rich kid who didn't get his way with Bella, so he is acting up. Micah frowned. What she said was right. His actions today are purely based on his anger from yesterday. He offered to drop her at her home, but she left without waiting for him. His ego was hurt and he could
