"What? That’s not possible. You guys just wed a few days ago. You are lying."
"Oh, it’s very possible. I have served him with a divorce paper. Soon, we will meet in court, and he must sign."
"Wait... I hope it's not what I'm thinking."
"Maybe it's what you are thinking because I will be getting half of your brother's property. Yes, half of everything your dear Desmond owns. Isn’t it exciting?" She smiled at her.
"You are lying. This can’t be true." At this moment, Bella's voice was barely above a whisper. Her heart began to race in fear.
Daniella folded her arms and smirked. "Oh, it’s true, sweetheart. And you know what makes it even better? You helped me get here. You and your dear mother." She leaned in closer, lowering her voice to a conspiratorial tone. "I couldn’t have done it without you."
Bella blinked, completely lost. "What... what are you talking about?" Bella asked, and Daniella let out a mocking laugh. "Oh, sweet Bella. How soon we forget. Do you remember how you and your mother rooted for me? How two of you encouraged Desmond to leave Anabel and choose me instead? You two were my biggest cheerleaders. And look where that got me. It got me exactly what I wanted. So, thank you very much. And... when you get home, tell your mom that I thanked her for her support."
"You! You conniving, heartless, Daniella." Bella’s face turned red with anger and humiliation. "I can't believe you are saying all this. You are the most heartless person I have ever seen."
"No need of calling me names." Daniella interrupted, waving her hand dismissively. "It won't change anything. It won't change the fact that I will be getting half of everything your brother owned, and even more. The house may be part of what I will get from him. I just played the game, and I played it well. Don’t hate me because I’m good at it."
"This is not a game but an evil act. I will make sure you get nothing." Bella said.
"You might want to tone it down, little lady." Leonard finally spoke up. "You are embarrassing yourself in public. Besides, this isn't any of your business. It's between her and your foolish brother." Leonard added, and Bella turned her glare to him. There was fire in her eyes.
"It is my business when it concerns my brother and my family! And who the hell are you to even talk to me?"
"I'm Leonard." He smirked as he slid his arm tighter around Daniella. "The man she really wants. The man she’s always wanted. Desmond was just her side cock and destiny helper ."
"You are a pathetic excuse for a man. And you," she turned back to Daniella, "are nothing but a gold-digging snake. You think you can just destroy people’s lives without consequence? Well, guess what? I have something that will make Desmond fight you with all he has. I have proof. I have your pictures, and I will make sure Desmond sees them. Nothing will save you."
"Pictures? Oh please. I even thought you had something reasonable. You think those pictures will do anything? Let me save you the trouble, Bella. Desmond already knows that my pregnancy is not his. He is not the father of my baby. I've shown him a video where I'm making love with my sweet boyfriend. Your little evidence means nothing to me."
"You are the worst kind of person. You disgust me." Bella spat.
"Aw, thanks for the compliments." Daniella’s said. "Well, Leonard and I have shopping to do, so if you will excuse us..."
As the two turned and walked away, laughing and whispering to each other, Bella stood frozen in place. She was stunned beyond words. Her entire body was trembling with a mixture of anger, disbelief, and heartbreak. For the first time, she felt utterly powerless.
