Finally Convinced

Bella took a deep breath before opening the door. Zack immediately smiled when he saw Bella. Bella was about to ask Zack a question but he immediately presented a bunch of fresh flowers.

"W-what is this for?"

"It's for your waiting. I know you're worried because I couldn't say goodbye. I'm in a hurry because I have to chase Christopher to Ava."

"Huh?" Bella asked in shock.

Zack nodded. "Detective called earlier in the morning. He got information that Christopher was hiding in his rest house in Ava intending to go abroad. Because I was in a hurry I only told Angelo. I didn't wake you up either because you were so sleepy. I thought I'll just explain to you when I come. "

Bella nodded. She thought Zara was really intriguing. Just what was said to make her doubt Zack. She was just shaken at last.

"How was your conversation? Did you catch up with him?"

Zack nodded and his aura brightened even more. "Yes. I told him about the island. Ernest mentioned it but he was not interested in selling it. But I did not lose hope. I explained to him that I could help a lot. Apart from paying off his debt, I also offered security because I heard that some of his creditors were planning to kill him. He was addicted to the casino and couldn't pay the debt. That's when he thought about it and asked for a few days to think about everything. The detective is guarding him now. He also hired some personnel. They are in Ava now. I also promised Christopher that I would help him so I called Tim. Tim also agreed to be a lawyer. He will also draft the contract. He said he will also bring the passbook. It's already in my name. It's already done. I have an ID and any legal documents. Thanks for Arch's connection. Tim is coming here. Tomorrow, we will pick him up at the airport. "

"We?" Bella asked in shock. She didn't expect that and will admit that she was dizzy from the events. Her brain couldn't keep up with that so she was shocked by what Zack was saying.

Zack smiled. "Yes, we" he confirmed.

Bella smiled. She liked the idea. Her negative feelings kept flying through the air. "All right," she answered immediately because she also wanted to be with Zack.

Zack nodded. "After we agree with Tim, we will go to Christopher and we will go straight to the island. You'll love our place. "

Bella felt charcoal caress her heart. The sweetness of feeling every time Zack says that pronoun. Bella felt that she was really part of Zack's life.

"Can we join as well?" Zara said to Zack.

Bella stopped coming out of the hut. She peeked out and gasped when she saw Zara's group in front of her hut talking to Zack. He had already brought his belongings to meet Tim at the airport. It looks like Zack going to pick her up and Zara just stops him.

Bella saw that Zack was serious.

"We have talked about this before. Angelo will help you take care of the werewolves. He volunteered himself to join you, " Zack said.

Zara didn't seem to like it that much because her face blushed with annoyance. "But—"

"Zara, this is what I want you to do. Hopefully, don't personalize my decisions. This is what I see as good for the group, "Zack interrupted authoritatively. It looks like he has already used that tone on Zara to stop howling.

Zara's lips twitched until she fell silent. Even Karen can't be proud because Zack has already rejected Zara.

"All right. Angelo is in a group of sculptors. Go ahead and maybe they need help," Zack said seriously. They followed what Zack said until they disappeared.

Bella met Zack when she saw him going up to the hut. "Let's go?" his voice was cold. Bella nodded and they left the place.

"Be quiet," Zack broke into silence as they walked down the mountain.

"Why didn't you join Zara?" Bella asked uncontrollably.

"Simple. First, the wolves need her more. She's the one I think deserves a look because she's attentive. Second, she can fight the group if there is an attacker. I had seen her several times during the war so I was confident in her ability. Third, you are the one I want to be with. "

Bella nodded at the last thing Zack said. "Zack!" She exclaimed.

"I'm not kidding," Zack replied seriously.

Bella immediately bowed. Damn. Her heart was beating so fast. She didn't know what to say!

"Don't look at me. M-maybe something will happen to you," Bella nervously scolded Zack as she bowed. Hopefully, Zack will let go of her gaze because her body is already shaking.

"You can't see in my eyes that I'm sincere in what I'm saying. Just listen to what I have to say. All the way, you're the one I want to be with."

"Z-Zack ..." Bella said in disbelief.

"I can't understand myself anymore but this is how I feel. I know you're just a mission but ... I can't understand why I want to do more than that for you now ..." Zack and Bella were serious. Bella's emotions were finally shaken.

They both remained silent until they arrived at the airport.

Bella's system is confusing. She did not know what to do until Tim arrived.

Tim greeted her immediately. Zack paid close attention to Tim until they reached Ava. They went to an old rest house surrounded by several armed men.

The three talked about Christopher's debts and agreed that Zack would pay everything in exchange for the island. Christopher cried. He seems that he doesn't want to release the only wealth left him but he had no choice because that's the only thing that can save him. Somehow, Zack makes sure that he takes care of the island.

After presenting the draft contracts, they decided to take a look at the island. Christopher also ordered Ernest to assist them. The boat took them there and they toured the area.

For a moment, Bella first left the two men talking about the details of the island. She, in turn, filled her eyes with beautiful scenery.

Bella noticed the mountain on the northern side of the island. The color is very green. It looks like the trees haven't been cut down yet. She felt it is nice to live there.

"Did you like it here?" Zack suddenly appeared.

"Yes. It's nice there," Bella said and pointed to the part she liked.

"That's good," Zack agreed.

"It's a big island. Vampires and wolves will definitely be happy to see it. Vampires will be able to take a walk here in the winter," Tim said.

At once they rested deeply. Moments later, they talked about the island and what the plan would be tomorrow. Bella no longer joins them to go down the mountain to fix the legality of the transfer of the title.

"Good luck to both of you tomorrow," Bella said.

"Thanks," Tim said while Zack nodded.

Bella averted her eyes. He knew that Zack would read her actions again and she may not be able to sleep.

Bella secretly sighed because of that.
