CHAPTER THIRTY TWO

Belle was in turmoil as she walked out of her house. She needed to find a solution to this or else she'll be a walking dead. She needed to meet Jordan and talk to him about it. This time she was ready to do anything as long as it helped her.
'Fuck." She yelled inside her car, slamming her fist in the steering.
Why? Why was this happening to her? She just wanted to be loved like every other girl wanted too but why do they think she doesn't deserve it? Why do they think she couldn't get it? Her phone vibrated inside her bag making her heart sink. She took it out, her heart thumping against her chest as she saw the caller's number.
'Who is this?" She said, feigning ignorance.
'Today is your last day, pay up or you'll regret." The voice said before hanging the call.
Belle felt a headache coming. No! She could not continue to stay inside this car without finding a solution. And her only option was Jordan, if only he would listen to her.
She brought out her phone and immediately searched for the location of Jordan. In the city, as long as you are a celebrity, you can always find whatever you want on the internet. After getting the information and with a clenched jaw, she started the car before zooming out of the neighborhood.
••••••••••••
Jordan was in his office with his manager, going through some scripts when they heard a loud noise from outside the room.
'What's that?" He said with furrowed brows, turning to face his manager.
'Go and check it out and come back here this instance." He said before turning back to his script.
His manager walked out immediately to see the security guards gathered around someone. He scrunched his face up trying to see who was in between but his eyes could not reach it. He walked closer only to widen his eyes when he saw the mighty Belle on the floor as they towered above her.
'Let her go!" He said.
The security guards turned to look at him and bowing to him, left her alone on the floor.
'I'm going to kill you all at the end of the day. You just wait and see!" She shrieked out.
'You think you can treat me anyhow?" She said again.
Jordan's manager just looked at her distastefully before making his way back inside.
'Wait. I need to see Jordan. Is he inside?" She yelled.
'I'll tell him that youraeiund. If he wants to see you he'll be out." The manager replied before walking away.
Belle tried to call him back but could not find her voice. The amount of disgrace she has faced today was not amountable. For an ordinary security guard to ask her to have sex with Uk because she needed to see Jordan. How annoying!
'It's miss belle sir. She wants to see you." The manager said to Jordan.
Jordan frowned immediately when he heard the name. He could already feel anger coursing through his veins.
'What does she say she wants?" He said.
'She said she wants to see you." The manager repeated.
Jordan clenched his fist tightly, staring hard at the wall while deciding whether to see her or not.
'Boss." His manager called out.
'Take me to her." Jordan said as he stood up from his chair.
He got out only to meet Belle, the person he once claimed to love, his ex wife looking at him with teary eyes. He felt part of his heart tug at the sight of it but he was not going to let that affect him. She deserved it, since she decided to work it out on herself, she was going to face it all herself.
'Look who we have here." He said.
Immediately Belle heard his voice, her head whipped to him like a flash. She dragged her feet to him and was about to touch him when he shifted away from her.
'I beg you Jordan. Please, spare me from all this. I didn't mean to. It was all just the work of the devil. Please." She begged.
'The work of the devil? You annoy me." Jordan said with his scrunched up face.
'They said you wanted to see me, get it started. I don't have enough time to waste on people like you." He said.
'Please don't bring the lawsuit on me. Tell them to withdraw it, I beg you, tell them to cancel it. I'm at fault and I've realized it, just please, tell them to cancel it." She pleaded with him.
'I thought you said you were not scared since you did nothing wrong. What made you change your mind? Guilt?" Jordan mocked her.
'The lawsuit is going to take place, whether you like it or not. So be prepared. I advise you to hire a good lawyer if you want to go with two years in jail but as hard as you are, I'm sure you'll be able to do ten years." Jordan said,
'And if you'll excuse me, I have things I need to do." He said as he made his way back to his office.
'I was just jealous!" She yelled, making him stop in his tracks.
'I was jealous of you and Adonia." She cried out.
Jordan turned to look at her only to find her on her knees.
'Adonia and I? Jealous?" Jordan said with furrowed brows.
'You both share a connection I long to have with you. You smile everytime you see her and laugh like your whole world is right in front of you everytime you're talking to her. Don't I deserve your love also Jordan?" She shrieked.
Everyone in the room was already looking at them. Jordan clenched his fist tightly. He was not ready for all of this at all, accusations about him and Adonia. What had that come to do with her crimes?
'You need to know that I love you Jordan. But you never loved me, it was always adonia that and adonia this. Why?"
'But I beg of you, I don't have much on me to hire a competent lawyer. I need your help so badly. My life is in danger. They're all after me, all of them. Both people I know and the ones I don't. They're all there, wanting to take a piece of me. I beg you Jordan, please help me." She cried out.
Jordan clenched his jaw, walking back to her.
'Came up with another lie? Uhn." He said, widening his eyes.
'I swear I'm speaking the truth. The company and some people are after me. I'm in a huge debt Jordan, you're the only one I can run to. I beg you please." She said,
Her face that was patted well while she was coming was now a mixture of mascara and her salty tears.
'Wow! So I'm the only one you have as a friend? Your other bitches and wicked people left you alone?" Jordan mocked her.
Belle could not refute his statement as she just hoped he'll do what he can do.
'Out of my sight. You aren't worth it." Jordan said.
'I know I don't worth it but I don't have a choice. Please help me."
'And how am i sure you don't want to scam me?"
'I'm not. I swear with my life, they're all after me. They've been threatening me. I beg you, I won't cross my lane from now on."
Jordan eyed her devastating self on the floor before signaling to his manager. Even though he did not want to help her, a part of him wanted to and would if she passed this test. He murmured somewords into the manager's ears before he walked away.
Jordan stood there, looking at Belle. This was the woman he had one thought would be his wife forever, but who knew she was all just beautiful outside but rotten inside. The manager came out and whispered back in Jordan's ear making him raise his brows as he looked at Belle on the floor.
Their eyes met as Belle wiped her face, making the mascara smear to the other part. But did she care? No, all she wanted was to be out of all these troubles.
'I'll cancel the lawsuit." Jordan said.
'Thank you so much." Belle said, crawling towards him to touch him.
Jordan frowned his face down at her before shifting away.
'Do not touch me." He said sharply to her.
'I'm sorry." She said, running her face.
'And I'll pay the company's debt for you." He added.
Belle widened her eyes as she heard this. Her heart leaped out for joy as she heard this. She could not contain all her feelings as she moved to touch Jordan who's gifted away from her.
'Only on one condition." He said.
Her heart sank as she heard this but she was ready, ready to do anything as long as it helped these people off her back.
'I'll do anything. Just name it."
'Stay away from me. I don't want to see you where I am. Don't talk to me, don't text me. Just stay away from me!" Jordan shs sharply.
Belle felt a tug of her heart. She was not expecting this at all but what could she do. It was either this or that? Which one should she pick?
'Alright. If that's what you want." She said,
'That's exactly what I want. Do not be near me, even in a ceremony or gathering. I don't want to see you. Is that clear?" Jordan said.
'Of course it is." She said,
'Good. He's going to bring the papers and I'm going to pay your bills. You can leave after signing." Jordan said before walking away.
