Chapter 24: Chapter 24

“Is there a development with your relationship with Tyron, Bella?” Don Samuel asks making Isabella blush. “I read a lot of articles about you and him and it seems that the two of you are so in love with each other.” The Don added.

Isabella and Hal were left alone in the Don’s hospital room. After lunch, Tyron went out saying that he has some important work to do and will be back to fetch her in the afternoon, she doesn’t know why but she’s restless seeing him leave the room. And after a few minutes, Ricardo also said that there something that he must deal with.

“Grandpa!” Isabella said, raising her voice in embarrassment.

“What? I am just asking.” The Don shrugs. “I guess there really is an improvement, upon seeing you two being sweet to each other, I don’t have any more reasons to be worried, seeing you happy in your marriage. I hope to see my great grandchild soon.” The Don added making her checks redder than before.

“You don’t have to worry about that, Don Samuel, I bet there is already a baby on the way.” Hal interrupted with a laugh making the Don smile. In a short span of time the two get along pretty well.

“Actually, there is.” Isabella said in a soft voice making the two shut their mouth in surprised. “Tyron has no idea about it.” She added and was shocked when Hal screamed in his feminine voice.

“Oh, my goodness! Oh my! Is it really true? We will be seeing little Bella or Tyron soon?” Hal asked who can’t contain his excitement and glance at Don Samuel. “Grandpa! It seems that your wish is going to come true!”

“I don’t know what to say, I just said that to tease Isabella but... wow... I’m speechless... Really.” The Don said in disbelief. “I guess, congratulations are in order.” He added with a smile.

“But can you please keep it from Tyron for the mean time? I want to be the one to tell it to him and there is also something that I must tell him.”

Isabella said softly.

“You love him?” Don Samuel asks; Isabella looks up him and he is smiling—a sincere and happy smile not a teasing one, making her blush.

“I won’t say anything. I want him to be the first one to know.” Isabella pouts as her cheeks redden.

“You’re really easy to read, sweetheart.” The Don teases.

“She sure is, grandpa.” Hal agrees as he browse through his social media account. “Maybe we should make a drama about Isabella’s life, I’m sure it will be a big hit.” He suggested. “Especially that you bring out a mysterious vibe; you only shared a little about yourself.”

“what can I do? Life is tough back then.” Isabella shrugs.

“It may be tough but you are blessed with people who loves you. Your grandpa played a villain all these years to keep you safe, and eventually cleared all the misunderstandings and such. And you are even blessed with a loving and handsome husband. The last but not the least, you are the sole heiress of a big corporation!” Hal said while looking at his phone.

“Nah! Grandpa’s company is now in the care of Tyron. So basically, I’m living with my husband’s money... oh, wait! I have a job and a little bit of savings so, I guess, I’m not that poor.” Isabella said.

“Silly girl!” Don Samuel sighs as he slightly shakes his head. “The Tyron may be under Tyron’s care, but I still have fortune under my name so, you can basically live without Tyron’s money.”

“Oh my gosh!” Hal screams in horror while frantically looking at his phone making them shock. “Is this true or just a hoax? But it is from a reliable source, how can this be?” Hal murmurs as he worriedly glance at Bella.

“What’s the matter, Hal?” Isabella asks.

“Gosh! How can this be? And at a time like this?” Hal murmurs as he stares at Isabella. He knows that it will be bad for Isabella if she will hear this, especially now that she is pregnant. “Oh, Bella, please be strong enough to handle this.” He said and glance at the Don who is also curious and at the same time worried.

“Strong enough to handle what?” Isabella asks but he didn’t say anything, she tried to grab his phone but he managed to dodged it. “Come on, Hal!

You’re making me nervous.” Isabella said as she’s feeling more nervous now. There is this weird feeling that she can’t seem to shrug off the moment Tyron leave the room.

“I’m so sorry, Bella.” Hal said in a soft voice as he gives her his phone.

Isabella grabs the phone and is shock the moment she read the news article headline— “Business Tycoon and Actress Bella’s rumoured boyfriend, Tyron Cruz is dead.’

With trembling hands, she scrolled down to read the article. “A...according to Gabriel Zamora, a close friend of Tyron and the witness of the explosion, Tyron is in the car when the explosion happened.” Isabella reads it out loud. “I... Please tell me that this is not true...” Isabella said as she weakly takes a seat, her heart is heavy upon the news. “I...We were just starting... I still haven’t told him that we are going to be parents and that I love him... Why? Why now? Why must he die without even knowing all of this? Why must he die without even bringing justice to his father’s death?

Why now?” Isabella breaks down as she cries her heart out.

“Everything will be okay, Bella.” The Don said; she knows that he is just trying to comfort her but how will things be okay after what happened? How can she face the following days without her husband?

“I didn’t expect that he will even harm his own nephew, he even killed him!” The Don gritted his teeth.

“What are you talking about, grandpa?” Isabella asks. “Nephew? Kill? Are you saying that Tyron was murdered?” she asked frantically.

“If I’ve known that it will come to this, I should’ve told you earlier about this.” The Don said clenching his fists. He is regretting that he remained mum even though lives are in danger, even if he is thinking about Tyron’s feelings, it is not an excuse to remain silent. He thought that that person will not harm his own blood relative but it seems that he is wrong; that person is willing to sacrifice even his family just for wealth and power.

“Grandpa!” Isabella raises her voice.

“The mastermind for killing my son and Tyron’s father is Frederick Cruz.” The Don said, making Isabella speechless. “And I strongly believe that he is also the person behind Tyron’s death. It didn’t come to my mind that he can harm his nephew.”

“W...why now? Why are you telling me this now that he is already dead?” Isabella asks in despair. “I promised Tyron that I will ask you about it...”

“I’m so sorry, Isabella...” The Don apologized.

Isabella didn’t say anything and just burst out crying. There are lots of things that she regrets not doing—first, not telling Tyron how much she loves him; second, not telling him about the pregnancy; and the last but not the least, telling him not to leave her side.

“I need to go...” Isabella said as she quickly wipes her tears away. “I will go and check the site myself. I don’t want to believe that Tyron is gone just like that.” She added as she stood up.

“You can’t go there, Isabella...” Hal said worriedly. “With your condition right now, you might not take it.”

“No one can stop me, Hal.” Isabella said with determination and quickly leaves the room despite the plea of Don Samuel and Hal.

Isabella can’t contain her emotions as she approaches the location where Tyron’s car blew up. She can feel her whole-body trembling.

“Miss, you cannot cross this line.” The police told her, blocking her way.

“I am Isabella Morgan Cruz.” She firmly said. “I am Tyron’s—”

“Let her in.” A man in black suit said, if she’s not mistaken, the man is Gabriel Zamora, he is a lawyer and a friend of Tyron.

She thanked the police officer and approached Gabriel.

“I’m afraid that I didn’t catch him in time.” Gabriel said with remorse. “I am so sorry, if only I was fast enough, I could have prevented him...”

“N...no...” Isabella breaks down. “Please tell me that he is okay.”

“I am so sorry, Isabella.” Gabriel apologized. “I did not expect this to happen, no one does, I just want Tyron to know the truth. I should have just gone to see him and not the other way around. I am so sorry, I really am.” He added making Isabella burst in tears once more.

“what would become of me now then? And our baby... oh gosh, our poor baby...” Isabella mumbles in between her tears.

“You’re pregnant?” Gabriel asks in shock.

Isabella bitterly smiles as she rubs her belly. “Our poor baby... you lost your dad in a mortifying death... He didn’t even know you existed...” she added before losing her consciousness.
