The day of the highly anticipated fundraiser finally dawned. Bella found herself standing in front of a full-length mirror, adorned in
a breathtaking white designer gown that beautifully hugged her curves. The fabric flowed gracefully as she turned, checking all
angles of her reflection ensuring every angle reflected sheer elegance and sophistication. Satisfied with her appearance, she
took a deep breath, ready to make a striking entrance at the event.
Finally set she headed out to her awaiting vehicle.
After a short drive, she finally arrived at the venue. Gracefully exiting the vehicle, she entered the transformed hospital hall, a
reserved part of the hospital for events like that one.
The atmosphere buzzed with excitement and anticipation as esteemed guests, including socialites and influential figures,
mingled and engaged in animated conversations. The hall, adorned with tasteful decorations, set the stage for an evening of
both glamour and philanthropy.
Bella, with her radiant smile and personality effortlessly became the center of attention. Greetings and compliments flowed in her
direction, and she navigated the room with grace, acknowledging familiar faces and establishing connections with ke individuals
in attendance. Her head held high, Bella felt a satisfaction like never before, the satisfaction she could only derive from being the
center of attention.
“I heard Mr. Wild single-handedly created the school,” one of the women stated, her tone filled with admiration, as she shared the
impressive news with Bella.
Bella’s smile, already radiant, seemed to brighten even more. “We are genuinely passionate about people, especially children,”
she responded with warmth her arms clutched in her front in pretense of having done a good will.
“Creating this school aligns with our commitment to making a positive impact.” She replied. Hearing her speak, one would think
she had actively participated in the school while in reality she knew nothing about what had been done.
The compliments continued to flow from the gathering crowd, each one acknowledging the kindness and generosity behin the
creation of the school. Bella gracefully accepted the commendations enjoying every moment of attention she was bein given.
“It’s rumored that the surgeries for the kids here were also paid for,” another exclaimed, catching Bella off guard. Her smile
faltered momentarily, but she quickly recovered, offering a seemingly genuine smile.
Ethan sponsoring surgeries? When had he decided to take such a significant step, and what motivated this unexpected act
generosity? The news had caught her off guard, leaving her curious and somewhat uneasy.
“You didn’t know about it?” someone in the gathering queried, sensing the subtle shift in Bella’s expression.
In response, she conjured a smile that appeared sincere but failed to reach her eyes, attempting to maintain an air of composed
composure.”Of course, I did. As I said before, It’s our contribution back to society,” Bella explained, gracefully steering the
conversation away from further scrutiny. With that, she gracefully walked away.
As she gracefully glided through the hall, the allure of her dress captured the attention of some women around her. The delicate
fabric and exquisite design sparked admiration, prompting one woman to inquire breathlessly, “Is that from Alejandro’s
collection?”
An arrogant smile graced Bella’s l*ps as she replied, “Yes, it is.” Secretly pleased that someone had noticed and mentioned:
The other women, now drawn into the orbit of this fashion statement, cast appreciative glances over Bella’s attire.
Eager to showcase the exclusivity of her dress, stylishly brushed her hair aside in order to allow them see it to give them better
view so they could gawk over her properly.
“There are only three of these designs in the world.” she declared proudly, adding, “It was really hard to get.”
The impressed murmurs intensified among the gathering. “How did you manage?” asked another, the tone carrying a hin
admiration. Bella, reveling in the spotlight, grinned as she revealed, “My loving husband got it for me.”

As the compliments continued to flow, Bella savored the attention, relishing her role as the esteemed Mrs. Wild.
The two siblings stood at a balcony watching cars drive into the place.
“There’s gonna be a party downstairs,” Liam explained to his sister. Daisy’s eyes lit up at the mere mention of a party.
“For the opening of the school. That’s where it would be held,” he continued, providing more details. The excitement grew in
Daisy’s eyes.
“Should we go see?” Liam asked, gauging his sister’s interest. Daisy’s imagination sparked.
“I’ve never been to a party like that. I’m sure the women are very pretty,” Daisy mused, envisioning the festivities.
“Let’s go see,” Liam suggested, and Daisy cagerly nodded in agreement.
“Where is Ethan?” Bella mused to herself.
He had left early that morning for work but still hadn’t shown up at the event.
With a glass in one hand, she excused herself when her phone rang. Glancing at the caller ID, she decided it couldn’t be
ignored. She gracefully maneuvered through the crowd, searching for a secluded spot where she could take the call in private.
Once she found a quiet hidden corner, she answered the call with anticipation. “Did you find anything?” she inquired eagerly,
hoping for Sebastian’s findings on the information she had requested.
“Barely, just the normal routine of her going to work and back. Honestly, she’s quite boring, if you ask me.” Sebastian’s
nonchalant response filtered through. Bella sighed, a hint of frustration evident in her voice. “I don’t think she knows anything,”
he added.
“But she was there that night, wasn’t she?” Bella questioned, in exasperation.
Bella’s impatience was evident as she pressed Sebastian for more information. “You said you saw her, didn’t you?” she
questioned, irritation coloring her tone.
Sebastian hesitated slightly before responding, “I might have been mistaken.” Trying to downplay the significance.
“If she actually knew something, she would have taken some steps by now,” he reasoned calmly. “Like contracting you to
blackmail or something else, don’t you think?” he added, trying to bring a logical perspective to the situation.
Bella sighed, acknowledging the rationale behind Sebastian’s words. “Who is she exactly?” Bella inquired.
“You’ve refused to tell me her name, but I think I deserve the right to know. What’s her name?” Bella had asked him about the
mystery woman several times, but Sebastian remained tight-l*pped, seemingly protective of the girl. “What is her name?” she
probed once again.
Jasmine Knowles, Sebastian replied from the other end.
“Jasmine Knowles,” Bella repeated, contemplating. “I don’t know any Knowles,” she stated, struggling to recall.
“This is dragging on too long, what does she know?!” Bella demanded, her impatience resurfacing.
“Calm down, would you?” Sebastian urged, attempting to pacify her. “I believe she was there that night,” he finally admitted.
“But?” Bella queried, sensing there what happened that night.”
more to the story that Sebastian hadn’t disclosed. “It seems she has no recollection of
“But nothing,” he replied, signaling his own reservations. He hadn’t seen Jasmine as a threat to Bella, and he didn’t want to give
her that impression. Bella could go ballistic and demand that she be dealt with. Sebastian observed Jasmine as a simple young
woman who seemed to have endured a challenging life. Why complicate her life even more?

As Bella listened to Sebastian, she heard a sound in the background. She stopped for a moment, taking the phone off her ear.
She had detected someone else’s phone vibrating at a blind spot. Was someone there? Concerned about a potential
eavesdropper, she hung up immediately and slowly made her way to the place she heard the noise.
She sighed in relief; there was no one there. “I was probably imagining it,” she concluded, brushing off the unease. She quickly
texted Sensation, informing him that he had completed her task. With that done, she picked up her glass from where she had set
it down and gracefully made her way out of the balcony.
“Daisy, Daisy, slow down,” Liam called, chasing after his enthusiastic sister. Daisy, however, continued running and accidentally
collided with someone. The glass in Bella’s hand jolted, causing the wine to spill onto her dress.
“Ugggh!” Bella exclaimed in annoyance, her frustration evident. “You brat!” she yelled, her gaze now fixed on the young girl
responsible for the mishap. Bella’s expensive dress was now stained and ruined.
