Chapter 32: Submissive!

Bella looks at her husband with deadly hatred, Johnny in turn smiles sarcastically as he holds an envelope which he hands to her, who receives it and immediately opens it to read the contents.

“What does this mean? You want control of everything that belongs to the Hahn family? You can’t imagine that I’ll give it to you so easily.” Bella was about to tear up the document when Johnny catches her attention.

“I know you won’t do this willingly. So, how about a trade? Your son’s life for control of your family. Decide now, what’s worth more to you?” Johnny looks deep into Bella’s eyes, observing her anger.

“Johnny, you’re a big son of a bitch. But I must inform you that my son is far away from here right now.”

“Are you sure? I know you tried to send him back to New York with your secretary Susan. What time was it again? Oh… yesterday at 5:30 p.m. It wasn’t easy for my subordinate to capture your son, what a stubborn and annoying brat. That's what Taylor told me.”

“You're bluffing.”

“Am I? Then look at this.” Johnny shows the photo of Theo tied hand and foot gagged, lying on the floor, curled up.

“Theo! This can't be true.” Bella takes her cell phone and calls Susan, and after a long time someone answers:

“Hello!”

“Susan?”

“Sorry, I'm not Susan. My name is Emma and I'm a nurse at Miami Central Hospital. Do you know the patient Susan Blythe?”

“Yes, she's my secretary. Could you tell me what happened?”

“It seems she was poisoned. But luckily she was rescued in time and her life is no longer at risk.”

“I understand! Please take good care of her.”

“Okay!”

“Did you poison Susan, you bastard?” Bella is even more irritated.

“I didn't. I just gave the order and paid someone to do it, otherwise how could Taylor kidnap Theo?”

Bella still doesn’t give up and calls home to ask about her son, only to receive a negative answer: Theo wasn’t there. At that moment, Jimena, noticing her daughter’s apprehensive face, approaches her:

“What’s going on here?”

“Théo was kidnapped and this bastard wants to force me to hand to sign a document handing over control of the family to him in exchange for my son’s life. The Guilt is your mother fault and I swear that if anything happens to Théo, I’ll never forgive you. Do something useful and send your lover to look for my son.” Bella was angry and tearful.

“I finally found your weak spot, Bella Hahn.” Johnny smiles victoriously

“That was always your plan, wasn’t it? Destroy family, Hahn.” Jimena approaches Johnny

“Actually, I just wanted supreme power, to be on top, to rule everything and everyone. However, to do that, I might have to eliminate some obstacles. That’s part of my show.” “I trusted you, you damned wretch.” Jimena slaps the guy in the face, who slaps him back, but harder.

“You have no right to hit me. Get back to your insignificance, Jimena.” Johnny seriously watches Bella help her mother.

“Johnny, I’m not a woman to make empty promises, but I’ll tell you one thing, today you’re on top, doing whatever you want, but there’s nothing like one day after another.”

“Bella, what are we going to do with Theo? James hasn’t called me anything yet and I’m afraid he’ll hurt Theo.” Jimena gestures towards Johnny, who shrugs his shoulders.

“I can’t just stand here waiting. I have one last card to play.” Bella runs to her car, leaving Jimena thinking about her daughter’s words.

“One last card? I wonder if she’ll go to… Damn it, Daughter! Good luck!”

Bella arrives at her destination, the Kicher mansion, entering through the backyard using the skills she learned from some of her father’s subordinates. And when Alexander least expected it, she was inside his office.

“Bella Hahn, how did you get in here?” Alexander is startled to see her in front of him.

“I need help, Mr. Kicher. I know our families are rivals, but I need us to put that aside for now and help me find and rescue my son. Please!” Bella begs, her desperation is clear.

“Are you crazy? First you enter my house and my office without any caution and now you want me to rescue your bastard son, forgetting that you killed my son, the one you said you loved?” Alexander remains cold in his response,

“I know. But Dylan killed my father. What could I do?”

“Not kill him and try to clarify things better. I’m sure it wasn’t Dylan, he loved you so much that he confronted me about going after you, you slut. Now get out of my way before I kill you with my own hands.”

“Please, Mr. Kicher! Help me rescue my son before Johnny hurts him or worse, kills him.”

“I don’t care. Go away!”

“Are you really going to let that bastard hurt your grandson?”

“You must be really desperate, because you’re even making up lies. That brat of yours could never be my grandson. Get out of my way.”

“But...”

“Didn’t you hear my godfather? Get out of here or I’ll finish you off, Bella Hahn.” Rebecca enters the office after seeing the security guards passed out or dead along the way.

“Rebecca, my son was kidnapped by Johnny. Please, do you know the truth tell Mr. Kicher that Théo is Dylan’s son.” Bella appeals, but Rebecca, with her heart full of envy and resentment, takes the opportunity to lie.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Johnny is Theo’s father as far as I know.”

“You lying bitch.” Bella screams, staring at Rebecca as tears stream down her face.

“Enough! Rebecca, throw this woman out of here.” Alexander gives the order and Rebecca obeys with a smile of victory, but before being chased away, Bella leaves a photo of Theo on Alexander’s desk.

“Look at the photo and see if there’s any resemblance between my son and Dylan.”

“Shut up, let’s go.” Rebecca grabs Bella’s long black hair and takes her outside. The brunette lets herself be carried away because at that moment she was too weak to fight back. When she reaches the front door, Rebecca pushes her love rival out.

“I hope you and your son die at once.” Rebecca knocks on the door and the only thing left for Bella is to go back home and face her cruel fate.

As soon as arrives, she is greeted by Jimena who asks where she had gone. Bella replies that it doesn't matter because she didn't achieve her goal. Johnny approaches his wife and gives her an ultimatum.

“This is your last chance to save the life of your bastard son. Are you going to hand over the command to me or should I give an order to Taylor?”

“You man miserable! You know I have no choice.” Bella signs the document that Johnny wanted.

“Now let Theo go.”

“I don't want to. I'm going to have fun with your a little longer.”

“You promised.”

“I want to see you beg, Bella. From today on, you will be my submissive.”
