Chapter 130

• THIRD PERSON'S POV
• She rushed out of the dinning area and made her way towards the entrance of the mansion. It had finally happened. What she had dreaded for a very long time had somehow happened. The mistake she had made was to tell a lie. A lie that she had to go on covering up for years. Ever since she got married to Alexander, they had made this promise of never keeping the truth away from each other. But this very lie was something she had told even before they made that pact of truthfulness. Now, she had literally been exposed and she more scared, than shocked. Quite alright, suddenly seeing her little sister that she hadn't seen in over 7 years was such a shock, but what she dreaded more was Alexander leaving her. How was he going to react when he found out that all along, she had a family but lied that she didn't? All the while, she had cut contact with, and abandoned her poor mother and sister. The decisions she had made in life were not solely based on her personal decisions. Most were decisions she had been forced to make.
• "Bella!!" She heard him call her name as he followed her behind. Her legs failed to run at a faster speed because of how heavy her baby made her feel. Nevertheless, she increased her pace with all the will strength she could gather. Why she was running away? It was because she doubted she had what it took to look him in the eyes after such deception. She personally knew how bad he had felt on her behalf, over being alone in the world, and always promised to be her family and companion for life. Now.... "Stop walking away this instant!" He suddenly growled, making her automatically stand still in her spot. She knew how serious he was, when he sounded like that. He covered the distance between them and turned her to face him. "What's this about?" He asked, carefully gauging her face to see her reaction. He didn't need a soothe sayer to tell him that a huge secret of his wife had just been discovered. She hardly talked about her dead family, but at least, he had heard her mention the name 'Peggy', as that of her late sister.
