The Billionaire 3: Tyron Cruz

Chapter 14

Isabella can’t stay still; it is already late and Tyron is still not home. His last message to her is that he is

going to meet some friends. She tried calling his number but it was always out of reach. She sighs as

she looks at the food she cooked.

She decided to call Tyron again when her phone rang and it was him.

“Tyron? Where are you? Are you okay?” She asks, worried. “It’s late and you’re still not home. I even

tried calling Zarina but she said that you left the office early this morning.”

“Relax, wifey…”

“How can I relax? You told me that you will come home early but you’re not around when I got home

and I can’t even reach your phone!” She snapped.

“I’m fine, my dear wife. I’m sorry if I worried you, but calm down, okay?” He calmly said. “I’m sorry if you

can’t reach me earlier, I just turned on my phone to contact you. It was one crazy day, I’ll tell you the

whole story when I get home.”

“Where are you?” She asks.

“Here in Baguio.” Tyron answers making her shock. “I know that you are shocked but I will explain

everything when I get home tomorrow.”

“Ty—”

“Let’s eat, Tyron.” It was a woman’s voice.

“I’m coming.” She heard Tyron answers. “Belle—”

She didn’t let him finish talking before ending the call and she hastily turns off her phone. She suddenly

felt numb. Tyron in Baguio with some other woman.

She felt a sharp pain in her chest, and a tear escaped from her eyes. She quickly wiped it called Nana

Helen and Rose telling them to take care of the food since she will not be eating and Tyron will not be

home for the night.

Bella hastily went to the bedroom and cried her eyes out.

The next morning, Hal is surprised to see her swollen eyes.

“Whoa! What’s with that face?” He uttered in surprise.

“I didn’t get to sleep a wink last night.” She answers and entered the car.

“You didn’t sleep or o cried the whole night?” Hal asks.

“Don’t ask too many questions, Hal.” She said in irritation. “Wake me up when we got there. I didn’t

really sleep last night.” She said and close her eyes.

Jenny just finished putting make-up on her when Hal entered the dressing room.

“Oh, it’s good that you’re done. We will start the shoot.” Hal said. “But it was a disappointment that

Lohan is not the photographer today. But it’s okay, all of his staff are skilled.” He added but she didn’t

say nor react, making Hal frown. “Hey, Bella, are you okay?”

“Bella is acting weird today.” Jenny said.

“Urgh! Can you just please stop it!” She said, raising her voice making the two shock. “I’m sorry, I am a

bit sensitive today because of lack of sleep.” She apologizes and sigh. “So, what’s next on the

schedule after this?” She asks and Hal told her the schedule for the day. And she felt relieved when

she learned that they will end early.

After her photoshoot for a famous magazine, they went to the studio where she will be a guest host for

the famous long-time noon variety show. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Bella, there is a huge possibility that the management will offer you to be a permanent host here.” Hal

said and stared at her. “But looking at you now, I don’t know if you can grab the chance. You should be

cheerful on stage.” He sighs. “Ah, whatever, just do your best there.”

They are in the host room when the two creative writers entered the rooms and gave them briefing on

what will happen for the sequence of the show. It is her first time to host a show that is why even if

she’s not in the mood, she tried listening.

“Bella!” Mikaela greeted her with a smile as soon as she enters the room. Mikaela is Direk Mike’s only

daughter. “I’m so glad that you made it.” She said as she hugs her tired. “But you look tired.”

“Lack of sleep.” She smiles and take a sip on her coffee.

“You should take care of your health even if you are fully packed.” Mikaela said, worried. “I miss our

hang-outs, we seldom go out nowadays.” She sighs. “And you are keeping a secret from me.” She

added.

“I don’t know what you are talking about.” She said and hands her a paper, where the sequence of the

show is printed. “Read it, we are both in the opening.”

“We are not done talking, Bella. We will talk in-between the show.” Mikaela said, making her sigh.

During their break, Mikaela really drag her to their waiting room to catch-up. She also learned that her

friend is pregnant.

“How about you, Bella? When will you have a baby?” Mikaela suddenly ask, making her shock.

“What do you mean?” She asks, flustered.

“You don’t have to hide it from me, Bella. I know that you’re—” she paused when the door suddenly

opens and Flora, one of the hosts, enters. “I mean, when will you get married and have kids?” Mikaela

said.

“You’re crazy.” She said. “Behave! We’re on the next segment.” She added making Mikaela shakes her

head.

The show ended smoothly and well. For a moment, she forgot about Tyron, she’s just being her while

doing the whole show—no pretentions at all.

“Bella, I can’t send you home today.” Hal said as they are fixing their things. It is already 7 in the

evening when her commercial shoot for a shampoo brand is finished.

“Is that so, I’ll just take a taxi then.” She sighs.

“It’s okay, I already called someone to drive you home.” Hal said. “I know that you’re uncomfortable

commuting all by yourself. Don’t worry, the person I called is trustworthy.”

“Do I have a choice?” Bella said. “You’re going on a date?” She asks.

“No, I just have something important matter to attend.” Hal said seriously.

“You made her pregnant?” She asks, making him look at her with shock and at the same time

questioning eyes. “I have my sources to, you know. And you are only serious when Zarina is involved.”

“Crap!” Hal sighs. “I don’t want to believe that I am going to be a father.”

“You have to take responsibility, Hal.” She sternly said, making him sigh. “How did you two end up like

that?”

“I’ll tell you some other time, Bella.” Hal said as he hands her sling bag. “Let’s go, the person driving

you home is in the parking lot already.”

“I still can’t believe that you are now going to be a father.” She said as they walk to the parking lot.

“I know, it sounds so surreal, but everything is a mistake—a mess!”

“We can’t do anything now, Hal. It’s already there, you just have to take responsibility for it.” She said.

“I know that, Bella, but—”

“Man up, you idiot!” She said, scolding her manager. “It may be a mistake but it’s already there, Hal.

You should think about your unborn child and Zarina!”

Hal didn’t say anything making her sigh. Her manager is still in a mess, she will talk to him some other

day.

They are on the parking lot when she spotted a man leaning on his car, it was no other than Tyron. He

is looking seriously at her.

“Don’t tell me that you called Tyron.” She said to her manager.

“Sorry. He called me earlier asking about you. He’s been trying to reach you the whole day but your

phone is off.” Hal said, feeling guilty.

“Then it is not true that you have something to attend to? You should take me home.”

“Bella, it is true that I have to meet with Zarina.” Hal said. “We need to talk about our situation.”

“Then drop me first at home before meeting Zarina.” She insisted.

“I would love to, Bella, but the thing is yours and Zarina’s house is in opposite direction.” Hal sighs.

“Why are you avoiding your husband?” He frowns. “You will be safe with him.”

“I also want to know why you are avoiding me, Bella.” Tyron butted in. “Is it because of yesterday?

Look, I already told you how sorry I am. Things were just chaotic yesterday, that is why I stayed there

for the night.”

“I don’t want to listen to any of your leis!” She sternly said before looking at Hal. “Hal, drive me home,

or better yet, just take me with you!”

“Look, Bella, I really need to go.” Hal sighs. “I don’t know what’s happening with the two of you, but you

need to talk about it.” He added before getting into his car and started the engine.

“Get in, Bella.” Tyron said sternly opening the door of the passenger seat. “Don’t let me lose my

temper, I’ve been being patient with you this whole time!”

“Just what do you want, Tyron?” She asks.

“I should be the one asking you that, wife! We were just fine the other minute and then the next, you’re

acting cold!” He said, full of anger.

“Then just let me be and do whatever you want.” She said and turns her back against him. “Don’t let

this marriage hinder you from doing what makes you happy.” She added, trying to control her emotions.

“I will take a cab home.” She added but Tyron grabs her wrist before she could even step away.

“Don’t make me lose my sanity, woman! Get inside the car!” He said full of authority.

“Or else what?” She shouted in anger as she face him. “Are you going to hit me? Beat me? Fine! Do it!

You monster!” She shouted, making him clench his teeth.

“Bella!” He shouted in rage. “Get inside the fucking damn car now!” He said but she didn’t move. “Stop

testing my patience!”

“Just leave me alone!” She shouted. She heard Tyron cursed beneath his breath before carrying her

and place her on the passenger seat and puts the seatbelt on her before closing the door.

“We have a lot of talking to do, wife!” He seriously said before starting the engine and dash of.

During the whole duration of their drive, Isabella dozed off. Not long after, she felt that she’s being

carried but she didn’t bother opening her eyes, she’s too tired and sleepy.

When she felt the soft mattress against her back, she slowly opens her eyes and saw Tyron’s

handsome face.

“Don’t cheat on me, you idiot!” She unconsciously said. “Is there something lacking on me that makes

you look at others?”

“Let’s talk tomorrow. You are tired, wifey.” Tyron softly said and place a kiss on her lips.
