CASPAR.
"Your mom is the drama queen,"I said to my daughter, teasing Bella who was following us behind. Her smug face quickly turned red in anger and I felt like she would hit me anytime soon.
But that didn't stop me from mocking her, I looked back and chuckled,"My wife, why are you upset?"
"Dad, I think mom doesn't want to be called drama queen," Karina replied. "And stop bullying her, you are literally harassing her when she's tired and needs sleep. How could you do that, dad?"
"Yes, that's right," Bella seconded that and snatched Karina from my arms.
Pushing me back, she walked in front and flipped her hair over my face. I was baffled by their reaction. I thought my daughter was daddy's girl but it turns out she's momma's girl. I became an abandoned father and husband in a second and walked inside the room where Bella and Karina were cuddling in the bed.
My eyebrows flung up as I stood at the door frame and sighed. I somehow was pleased to see them happy together. I thought of not disturbing them, so I quietly turned off the room's light and lay down on the sofa.
Covering myself with the blanket, I closed my eyes and the thought of the previous incident hovered inside my head. If only I hadn't returned so late to the bedroom, Bella would have not been threatened again. It was a relief that she left her phone behind, otherwise I wouldn't have found the clue.
I asked the intelligence team of DarZ to restore the deleted messages on Bella's phone, and was shocked.
The deleted messages were Bella's nudes and threatening demands concluding with blackmailing. Who could he be to have so many nude photos and clips of my wife? And in those photos, Bella appears to be so young…
'Don't tell me he is one of her high school's boyfriends?' My jaws clenched together as the anger filled in my veins. 'No. Calm down, she loves you,' I assured myself and stopped myself from getting jealous over her past.
' You should not make her angry again, it was already hard to get together with her. Let's focus on things that are important right now,' I explained myself and opened my eyes only to see Bella on the floor.
At first I panicked and wanted to ask why she was on the floor but when I saw her hand holding mine and her face resting on the sofa, I stopped. Turning to her side, I raised my hand and softly brushed her hair.
"I know you hate being questioned by anyone, be it me, your brother or anyone. I should have kept that in mind," I murmured as I touched her face. She was glowing under the dim light of the room and she looked absolutely gorgeous.
Now I understand why those bastards couldn't help but fall in love with her. She's a type of beauty for whom men go to war. I don't know how to feel about it, I'm kinda proud because my wife is quite famous among men and I got her instead of them.
"You make my heart race," I whispered as I leaned close to her face. "Whenever you are away from me, I feel like I'm ripping apart. The kind of love I share with you is very dangerous and romantic."
"I always want to be inside you," I touched her parted lips, and then gently grabbed the back of her neck, firmly gripping her I pressed my lips on hers. "I love you more than myself and I promise you that I'll get rid of any man coming near you with the motive of love."
"You are mine," I groaned, breaking the kiss. "Mine to fuck, love, protect and care. Bella."
I got up and scooped her up in my arms and carefully made her lay on the bed, near Karina. Then, I kissed her and my daughter on the forehead before leaving the room.

Walking down the corridors, I came downstairs and Vincent greeted me. I wonder if this man ever sleeps or was he a vampire!
"Sir, are you going anywhere?" He politely asked.
"No. I'll be in my office, I actually came down to get my assistant," I said and pointed at the doors.
KNOCK
Vincent quickly hurried to the doors and Alex arrived. He greeted me and then looked at Vincent…
"Is this the assistant you were talking about?" Vincent's voice turned cold and terrifying. I could feel like he would rip off Alex's neck. "Alright, I'll let him go, if he's your assistant, otherwise I want to hit him in his eyes! Making him blind!"
"No thanks," Alex leapt behind me and I awkwardly nodded at Vincent.
Vincent forced a smile on his face and went back to his room, and we arrived at my office on the third floor. Taking my seat, I asked, "How's it going? Did you investigate my father?"
"Yes, and we indeed found out that he has been sending a huge amount to someone who is not business-related," Alex said and handed me a brown package. "Your father has been sending texts to someone who is in codewords. Our intelligence team decoded it."
"I see, good job," praising him, I opened the package and pulled out the documents. Flipping through the pages, I read the messages and then the owner of the number who was receiving the money.
After my interpretation, I found out that father was getting blackmailed for something he did. And in fear of everyone finding it, he has been paying that blackmailer whatever amount he demanded.
"Did you find out what father did to allow this blackmailer to get money from him?"
"Unfortunately, no." Alex abruptly replied and thinking for a few seconds he said, "However it's real that chairman has something to do with the assassination attempts of Miss Bella and her daughter."
"I'll not forgive them, if I find out the truth."
I declared under my breath and managing a sad smile on my face, I asked him again, "What about the blackmailer of my wife? Did you manage to find out his location?"
"We did track down the location from where the call was made and found out it was the motel's VIP suite," Alex began. "However we found nobody, also the manager refused to give his personal information. Later on, after threatening, the manager said that he had no personal information regarding the blackmailer because he was a VIP consumer."
"What does that mean?" I was confused.
"Boss, that motel has a policy of no personal information required for VIP users. I think it's their marketing strategy to get the eyes of rich consumers since not many go to motels."
"God damned!" I punched the table and ordered, "File the complaint to the cops. That motel needs to change its policy or shut down!"
"Yes, Boss."
"And another thing, we will be leaving for New York City tomorrow. I must acquire my company KING's Entertainment and Bella's company QUEEN," I looked at Alex in determination. "She was the one who funded the dying company with her money. And I don't want my father to just inherit it like it's his!"
"Boss, what about the other companies you have built on your own? They are all registered under the Mcadam group!"
Alex's question was valid. The time and money I spent on stabilizing all those companies in America and Europe were just acquired by my father. And now he was selling those companies’ assets for a hefty amount in auctions to pay his blackmailer.
I know Bella's brother established the Angel Shot company on his own but had it registered under his sister, Bella's name. And now Bella has made me the president of the company, I know her intentions were to give me the high position so that I could not feel embarrassed.
She refused to work in the company so that I could take full power and authority, and I think because of this matter, her brother made her the sub-judge of the Black City's judiciary system.
"Silly wife," I couldn't help but laugh at her cuteness. Her way of showing love and care is unbeatable. "I must stand against my father and get what rightfully belongs to me."
"Alex," I said, resting my face on my palm. "Send hundreds of DarZ group's soldiers to guard this mansion. And arrange the intelligence team separately for removing and blocking any negative, or harmful posts or news against Bella."
"Yes, noted. Also pardon me, are you not taking Madam with you?"
"No, she's safe here. Her brother, one of the most powerful men, is going to protect her. I don't think she will receive the same amount of security anywhere else," I replied to Alex, he must know that I acknowledge Olivier as Bella's guardian of Bella.
"This is my fight! I should fight it alone and get everything in my name so that I can make my wife happier than now," I smirked, I had everything planned but suddenly I got a strange thought.
Getting up from my chair, I walked to Alex and whispered near his right ear, "Is it possible to get the names and addresses of all the previous boyfriends of Bella? The one she's been with for more than a week!"
"Boss?" I could see his face asking many questions and I couldn't care less.
"Stop judging me. I just want to find out who that bastard could be to threaten my wife. Is it hard to get the information?"
"N-No," Alex hesitated. "But Madam Bella is not going to fancy that idea if she finds out somehow that you are going through her past relationships with boyfriends!"
I laughed at his thoughts and titled my head. I sarcastically commented," I don't care as long as I can find the culprit. And she is not a child who will cry about it."
" She will appreciate my efforts. I know that."
"You are on your own in this thought."
Alex taunted and before leaving he said," All the information will be sent to your mansion in New York in two days. Also, young master Erick is dying to meet Madam Bella's brother."
"What's stopping him?"
"Chairman. He doesn't want the young master to associate with you and Madam's family.”
