Chapter 36
“Good morning, Bella.” Sheryl and Lorraine greet her.
“Good morning too, Sheryl and Lorraine…” She smiles back and turns to the camera and the audience.
“And to our audience and viewers.” Abd her fans screams in delight.
“So, we will have a lot to talk about, Bella.” Sheryl smiles. And she already knew what is it—she
already expected this. “Now that you’re introduced to the public as Isabella Morgan-Cruz, can you now
tell us about your personal life?”
“Well, as I told you in my past interview, when the time comes, I will tell you and it seems that it was
sooner than expected.” Isabella laughs, so is the two hosts. “To be frank, I don’t have any memories
during childhood, what was just imprinted in my memory is during the time my grandfather chase us
away. That is why I grew up resenting him and when we saw each other after more than a decade, I…”
She suddenly stop talking and memories starts flashing through her—starting from when she was
young until the way she acts towards Don Samuel.
“Are you okay, Bella?” Lorraine asks, worried. Bella blinks several times and takes a deep breath, the
studio audience suddenly starts murmuring. “Bella?”
“Oh, I’m sorry… I’m fine.” She softly said, but she can’t stop her tears. “No, I’m not fine…” She said as
she wipes her tears. Then she heard a commotion backstage.
“But it is still not your cue, Sir.” It is the voice of the floor manager. “Sir!” Isabella’s back is facing the
backstage so she has no idea who he is talking to, but she frowns when the studio audience suddenly
screams. Then suddenly two strong arms hugs her from behind; she doesn’t need to turn to see his
face. His presence is enough to make her heart flutter, and only one person has the ability to make her
feel that way—her husband, Tyron Cruz.
“What are you doing here?” She softly asks but she leans her head onto his chest. “I thought you were
in a meeting.”
“This is supposed to be a surprise, wifey, but you suddenly scared the hell out of me when you cried.”
Tyron said as he cups her face and wipes her tears. “Are you okay? Are you in pain?” He asks
continuously, worried that she might be in pain. The audience screams again and it brought her back to
the reality that she’s in the middle of interview.
“I’m fine, it’s just that I remembered how I treated my grandfather.” Isabella sighs and glances at the
two host. “The truth is when I saw my grandfather after more than a decade, I treated him coldly,
cursed at him, in short, I disrespected him.” She bitterly smiles. “As I said earlier, I don’t have any
recollection of my childhood and I just remembered it recently… When I learned that grandpa was
hospitalized, I cursed at him and I even told him to just die.” The audience and the hosts gasps. Tyron
holds her hand tightly as she’s shaking. “I was so blinded by my grudge and never even once try to
listen to him, what was just implanted on my mind is that he discarded me and my mother, and he
never once helped us even when my mom is sick.”
“Bella, if it is too much, you don’t have to say it…” Lorraine said.
“No. I want to share my story to serve as an eye opener to some.” Bella answers. “To continue with, it
was Tyron who talked to me about my relationship with my grandfather, he knocked some senses to
me. It was at that time that I remembered how grandpa spoiled me when I was a child, to the point that
he and my father would argue. Everyday, grandpa would shower me with his love but it all changes that
day when dad died.” She paused. “My dad died together with Tyron’s father. I remembered that night
when grandpa would try to stop me from crying even though he is crying himself. He even reassured
me that he will never leave my side but… but me and mom need to leave him.”
“And why is that?” Sheryl asks.
“Death threats.” She simply answers. “Grandpa wanted me and mom safe that is why they all staged to
chase us out, but in order for me and my mom to be really safe, he ask mom to go to Uncle Ricardo.
Their plan caused a great heartache not just to me or my grandpa but for my mother and Uncle Ricardo
as well. I now remember the sadness and tears of my grandpa that night.”
“Your grandfather loves you too much to the point to sacrifice his time to be with you for your and
mother’s safety.” Lorraine said and she nods in agreement.
“Yes, he do loves me. That is why, when I learned the truth, I hated myself. I feel so ashamed and so
low. How could I ever resent him when he sacrifices too much for his family.” She said. “I grew up
resenting him, and that is why I don’t want to public to know my real identity because I don’t want to
have anything to do with him.”
“How did you meet with your grandfather again?” Lorraine asks.
“Well, it has something to do with my marriage with Tyron.” Isabella answers. “He wanted to see me
just to tell me that he wants me to marry Tyron.” She said making them gasps. “But only to find out that
he did that to protect me and wants me to be in good hands before he crosses over.”
“Protect?” Sheryl frowns.
“Yes, the real reason behind our sudden marriage is for Bella’s future to be secured and safe from my
Uncle.” Tyron said. “Don Samuel thought that my uncle will not harm his family.”
“And are you aware of that, Tyron? That is why you accepted it?” Lorraine asks.
“No. I don’t have the slightest idea what the Don’s plan is. But the main reason why I accepted his offer
to marry his granddaughter in exchange of his company is to get my revenge.” Tyron sighs and slightly
shake his head. “But as time goes by, I already forget about that and live my life as Bella’s husband.”
Their talk about their love life continued.
“You’re love story is one of a kind.” Sheryl said. “Marriage comes first before love.”
“The truth is, we already know each other when we were kids.” Tyron said. “And it was during that time
when I promised to marry Bella. That is why Grandpa used his company as a bait to make me agree to
his terms.”
“What made you promise something like that at a young age, Tyron?” Sheryl asks making Bella blush.
“Bella is blushing.” They teased.
“Well, as much as I wanted to shared it with you all but I think it is better if we kept it to ourselves.”
Tyron smiles.
They continued the interview and talks about the fake news about Tyron’s death, the incident more
than a decade ago and Frederick’s crimes.
“So before me end the show, are you still going to continue you showbiz career, Bella?” Sheryl asks.
“I was just accepted as a regular show for a noon-time show and I’m not going to say goodbye to
showbiz, but for now, I think I will just settle for being a host and just do several photoshoots. Knowing
Tyron, he will not let me tire myself especially now.” She smiles as she caresses her growing belly.
“Are you pregnant?” Lorraine asks as her eyes grew big. It even causes a commotion in the studio
audience and the people backstage. Tyron and Isabella didn’t say anything but smiles meaningfully.
After their interview aired, they became trending and the most search couple again.
After three weeks, they held another wedding, at this time, they wholeheartedly said their vows to each
other. Both of them are smiling from ear to ear all throughout the ceremony until the reception.
Because of Tyron’s friends’ mischievousness, Isabella gave her bouquet to Gabriel, they even gave This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
him the garter, making the whole bunch laugh.
“What the hell?” Gabriel frowns at their mischievousness.
“You know what that means, Gab!” Joshua teases him.
“oh hell!” Gabriel curses, but they just laugh at him. “Great! This is what I get from helping you guys
with your love life!” He slightly shake his head and went to their table.
“Oh-oh, Gabriel the great is pissed.”
Their friends leave them and followed Gabriel at their table.
“Tell your friends not to tease Gabriel too much.” Isabella said as they settle their selves at their table.
“Nah! They know what they are doing.” Tyron said and looks at his friends who are the loudest, who
would have thought that those loud men are successful business man. “They know what they are
doing.” He said as he grabs her hand. “Isabella…”
“Hmm?”
“Thank you.” He sincerely said and kiss his wife’s hand. “Thank you for loving me. Thank you for
coping up with me, and thank you for making me feel like a lovesick fool every single day. And thank
you for marrying me again.” Bella smiles at his sudden remarks. “And thank you for giving me the most
wonderful gift that every man could ever dream of…” He said as he caresses Bella’s belly. “Thank you
for letting me experience take care of you from your morning sickness, your mood swings and to your
cravings.” Bella smiles as love and passion were definitely visible in her eyes.
“I should be the one saying thank you to you, hubby.” Bella said as she cups his cheeks and slightly
pinch him. His wife has the habit to pinch his cheeks, nose, his abs and his nipples whenever she feels
like it; he found it weird sometimes but he just accepted it. “You never once leave me alone during my
morning sickness, you’re always by my side and you never fail to take good care of me and love me.
and thank you because even if I know that you’re irritated at me sometimes because of the
unreasonable things I made you buy you never once complain…”
“I am not…”
“Hush, hubby. You don’t need to defend yourself.” Isabella smiles. “I already know you, Tyron, we might
not know each other for years but I know if you’re happy, sad, irritated nor angry. I can’t blame you
though if you’re irritated at my impossible whims and request, especially that time when I threw the
cotton fruit back at you because it has seeds.” She slightly laughs. “I am weird, right? Where could we
find a seedless cotton fruit?” She smiles and caresses Tyron’s face. “I should be the one thanking you
for coping up with me and for loving me. I love you, Tyron.” She stares at him lovingly and slightly pulls
him for a kiss. It is supposed to be just a peck but Tyron deepens the kiss. They didn’t bother that they
are still in the middle of the program.
