I'm Bella
Chapter 65
I'm Bella
I watched the stroke of lines on the paper as I appended my signature. I was getting married for the second time but this time,it wasn't accompanied by happiness. I was getting married for revenge to the only men that Robben Royce saw as a rival. Danni signed the document too and smiled warmly at me. The decision to accept my proposal wasn't as hard as I thought it would be and the meeting I had with him and Selena went well. I told her straight to her face that I wasn't interested in her husband. She could have him all to herself and I promise to annul the marriage once I get everything I wanted l.
'Congratulations to you both," the officiator said and shook each of our hands. Danni dropped the pen and we both stood up.
'I know I could be spontaneous at times but I never knew I'd do something like this,"Danni said
'Well, my darling. Life is funny and tricky. It can throw you different shades of troubles that gear you to make impromptu decisions," I said. My words seem to make sense to him because he nodded and shrugged. We had both come alone because we thought it better to do things without the noise from the media. Unknown to him, I had my own plans,how could I take such a bold step without flaunting it in Royce's face? Christian had done his part to make sure to tip off all media outlets. He had given specific information to make sure that I appear as number 1 in all search engines.
Danni opened the door for me but I saw him stop on his track as a series of journalists burst our faces with flashlights coming from their cameras. He gave me a glance that said that he knew what I did and I grinned.
‘Miss Myra! Are the rumours true? Are you really married to Mr. Black?
‘Could you tell us why you took a recourse? What happened between you and Mr Royce?'
‘Mr Black, is this your way of getting Royce out of your way or do you truly love Miss Cullen?'
All through this period,Danni didn't show his surprise,all he did was laced his fingers in mine, kissed the back of my hand and smiled. As he did that,the cameramen went into a frenzy and took multiple pictures to cement the moment.
'I can't answer all of your questions but I do know that I'm an adult, I'm capable of making my decisions well. And this?" I said, motioning to our intertwined hands 'is one of the best things that has ever happened to me."
‘Moreso, love can take any dimension. I'm a man who knows how to get want he wants. I wanted her and I'm glad to have her as mine now. She almost got into the wrong hands but I got her back with my prince charming bravado." As soon as those words left his mouth, the journalists gave one another puzzled look. This gave us time to leave and enter the car but as we drove away, I saw that they took the bait I set the exact way I wanted.
It was only a matter of time before I made the headlines just like I wanted

'You need to see this for yourself, " my assistant stormed inside, making me wonder what it was that got him breathless. He took the remote control that laid on the center table and switched on the television .
Breaking News!
Business Tycoon Myra Cullen marries Danni de Black,the all time rival of Robben Royce whom she was engaged to months ago. The wedding was done privately at the State's Registry this afternoon, leaving numerous citizens in awe.
The glass of scotch in my hands shattered under my palm and scattered on the floor. The pain from shards of glasses stuck in my hand went straight to my heart as I wondered what I just heard. I could hear the dripping sounds of the blood coming from my hand landed on the carpet in the room but I wasn't bothered.
All I could think of was why Myra suddenly got married to Danni weeks after jilting me. And Danni,what sort of game was he playing when he knows I don't allow trespassers in my territory. Taking my phone and my car keys from the table, I sauntered out of the room, boiling with anger as I thought about what possible way I could deal with the duo.
It was easy to locate them because the media wouldn't stop talking about them. They had decided to take a stop at a lounge that belonged to Danni. I entered the reception and barked orders at the receptionist, asking to know where they were. In fright,she pointed towards the direction of where they went and I followed it.
They were both seated on the loveseat in the private rooftop decorated to match whatever energy was going on between them. From afar,I saw Myra leaned in closer, whispering something in his ears and he laughed loudly.
'Myra!" I screamed on top of my voice, she turned slowly towards my voice and smiled wickedly. I walked to them in long strides. Before I could get close enough, Danni had stood up and put himself between Myra and I, protecting her.
'I didn't come here for you,so get the fuck out of my face," I spat
'I can't do that, not when it has to do with my wife,' he said, making sure to pronounce the word ‘wife' with pride.
'Don't worry darling,I can deal with him," Myra said and stood up,Danni stepped away from her front, allowing me to see her face to face.
'What do you intend to gain with this stupid game of yours, marrying this douchebag?" I said pointing to Danni who merely smirked at my discomfort.
'It's none of your business.. I'm not your wife , you don't get to question my decision" she said
'Oh really?" I queried. 'Let's see if you'll still be this proud when I tell the whole world who you are. Wait till I tell them that you are nothing but a two-faced liar and that all of your existence is nothing but lies. I've not gotten my hand on the secret but when I do, believe me when I say I'm going to make your fucking life miserable."
She bursts into laughter as I said this, looking far from being afraid of my threats. She took steps towards me and became close enough that I could smell her cologne.
'Why don't you try that? Let's see if you won't be in trouble as well. Telling the world whatever you think you have on me is like ruining yourself too." She said
'In what way,how am I connected to the stupid games you are playing?" I asked.
'Oh,my dear. I guess you'll have to tell the world how the wife you announced as dead is back, hale and hearty." She said, The world around me was seized as she said this and all I could hear was the ringing bell in my ears.
'What are you talking about?" I asked,still unable to believe my ears. It was impossible that she is who she called herself. I told Bella to never show up again.
'I'm Bella, " she said, confirming my fears.
'Surprise?"She asked. I took several steps backwards because I was too stunned to say anything. With each step that I took she moved towards me until I was trapped between her and a chair behind me.
'You probably are wondering how I ended up with the face RoyLove," she said and my heart sank.
‘RoyLove,'that was Bella's love word whenever she talked to me. Even though I hated it because it sounded cliche,she wouldn't stop using it and so, I accepted and let her do whatever she wanted.
'I had a total change of face, I couldn't bear to go around with the damaged face you and Britney gave me that day. So, my dear, you need to think really hard if you want to tell the world what you know about me,"she said, patting my cheeks and then she turned around.
'Darling? How about we leave now? I suddenly lost interest," she said, facing Danni who stood up. He took his suit,held her hand and walked with her out of the place, leaving me in complete shock.
