"You stay within your limit, I don't care if you are a billionaire but I am not your property to touch however you like," Bella said to him in an angry voice and Arthur clenched his fist
"I am Bella smith and no one can touch me without my permission," Bella said in anger and her face turned red and she left angry Arthur alone
Arthur was fuming in anger because no one has ever laid a finger on her and this girl slapped him. This humiliation would cost Bella a lot. The anger soon turned into hatred in Arthur's heart and he vowed to treat this little fierce girl lesson.
Arthur with an angry face went behind Bella to teach her a lesson and then he saw her with Jason and carter who was soon going to be his business partner.
Arthur understood that Bella was no escort and his anger was directed toward James for lying to him but he would surely pay for it. He looked at Bella who was having a laugh with own of his friends.
He was not going to leave James for lying to him and making him feel humiliated. He went towards James and put a hand on his shoulder.
James turned around and looked at him with a smile but his smile soon faded when he saw his angry face of Arthur.
"What happened Arthur" James asked and he looked tense. Arthur controlled his anger because he couldn't make his mockery in front of everyone.
"Can I have a word with you?" Arthur said to him and plastered a fake smile on his face.
James become tensed and followed Arthur to the corner of the party. Arthur's eyes followed Bella who was laughing carelessly and looking at her he felt immense anger inside him.
"What the fu*k you told me about that girl," Arthur asked him in a deadly voice and point his finger at Bella. James gulped because he knew that his secret was out.
"I am sorry Arthur for telling you to lie but Bella and I were in a relationship for 4 years and I wanted to keep my personal affair secret" James admitted and Arthur hates liars and the insult that Bella throws at him was unbearable for the respected man like Arthur
"Your bitch dared to slap me and now I am not going to leave her. She messed with the wrong man" Arthur said to him seethed in anger.
He wanted to burn down this whole party for his insult.
James groaned internally regarding Bella's behaviour and he knew that Arthur was not the one to forgive easily but still he took a chance.
"Arthur please forgive her, she is immature and doesn't know what you are capable of" James pleaded with him because he loved Bella who dug his own grave.
James regretted not telling the truth about Bella's identity earlier but he had done all this because James didn't want the risk of exposing his relationship which he kept secret for long
"I am ready to give you the project that you want but I have one condition" Arthur played his card well and looked at James with a smirk.
James wanted this business project and he worked hard for it. His eyes filled with the greed for money
"I want the project and I am ready to do anything for it," James said in confidence but soon his confidence shattered when Arthur looked at him with his arched eyebrow.
Arthur was the shark in the business world and he knew well where to strike he identified the weak nerve of James and that was money.
"I want Bella and you are going to break her heart brutally and then you get the project: I want to see this girl crying and begging for love," Arthur said and the whole strategy build up in his mind.
He wanted to see Bella completely broken, he didn't want her to have a single ray of hope in her life.
James looked at Bella and he loved her but his dreams are more important to him and on top of it Bella signed her own death wish when she slapped Arthur.
Even if James said no to the project for Bella then Arthur would make sure that James would come on the road with Bella so James chose the decision which was for his welfare.
"I will do as you said but let me tell you that Bella will never love you because you are not her type. She hates snobbish people like you" James said to Arthur hoping that it would change his decision.
Arthur laughed at James' stupidity and his laugh was uncontrollable
"Love is not for me, I only take pleasure from girls and your Bella is nothing different. I will spend nights with her and destroy her big ego completely" Arthur said with a smirk on his face.
James thought Arthur took interest in Bella but his misunderstood cleared when Arthur stated his motive. He only wished for Bella to survive the storm that is knocking on her door.
James chose the greed of money over love.
If Arthur wanted something then he got it by hook or crook and this time Bella was her target.
Arthur wanted to crush Bella's big ego under which influence she slapped him.
"I will break her heart," James said with a sad face because he failed to protect his love. Arthur smiled looking at him because he always thought that James was a nice man but tonight he realised that James had a hunger for power in him.
It is true when people say that money could buy anything.
Arthur took a glass of scotch in his hand from the waiter passing by and he looked at Bella's smiling face. He was smiling with Jason without any care in this world.
Arthur wouldn't destroy her life if she didn't dare to slap him because for Arthur his ego was most precious and Bella wounded his most precious thing.
Arthur took an oath in his mind that he would have fun with Bella and then destroy her into pieces which could never be healed.
