Chapter 128

        While the love birds were having fun in the city, back in the country a certain publication had already sent pictures of Antonio Willan and his family to the press. Being the biggest businessman in the city and getting married to one of the city's top model who no one knew was pregnant, it was indeed a hot news everyone should know about.

        "It's time for our celebrity news of the day, it seems our very own model Lilo Stan has been spotted in Alama rain forest on a vacation with her family, here are the beautiful pictures of her family." The news anchor stated. "And it seems like they're both expecting another child maybe that's why she hasn't been in the spotlight recently. Well, congratulations to the Willans."

        "What nonsense is this? Now she's paying people to mistake her identity for my daughter? This is real defamation of character." Vivian said staring at the TV furiously. "Is that the woman who is married to Antonio?" Ben asked his wife staring at the girl in a picture on TV with narrowed eyes. He hoped his thoughts were not just not true.

        "She looks so much like Lilo I could almost guess she's my Mina." Ben blurted out. "I thought we agreed never to bring that up, your Mina is dead and gone forget about her." Vivian walked away. They had a wonderful family with two beautiful daughters and a son. But in the space of one year, they lost both their daughter and son leaving Lilo all alone.

        That's one of the reasons Vivian does everything for her Lilo, she's always been a lonely child growing up. She was once a child who grew up with two siblings but ended up alone. They've tried adopting other children but none could replace the ones they lost so they stopped trying. Ben still believes his lost daughter is still around somewhere, he still believes she's not dead for over ten years now.

         They still celebrate her birthday until recently when she decided she was tired of celebrating a dead person. She was tired of still living in the past, so she decided to end it all.

        She lay on her bed sobbing into her pillow, everytime Ben brings up her missing girl, it made her seem like a bad mother. They checked the entire city that day, distributed posters, announced her on the internet gave their numbers out. For a full year, they were searching for her but could not find her, she was a little girl, what does she know?

         Vivian could imagine the pain she went through, she must have been alone that day calling for her or Ben but they could not save her. Maybe someone must have carried her or maybe she's just dead. If anyone carried her, with their massive search, they would have found her.

        Lilo stepped back into their mansion after her little press meeting. She had been planning on her big comeback into the fashion world again and couldn't see any opportunity than the mistaken identity. Clearing things up was a win for her cause her name is all over the news especially showing her pregnancy and a loss for Bella as her name was being dragged into the mud.

       "If you're not the one in the photo cause these photos are not fake then who is?" 

        "Well, that's just my look-alike I guess." She said professionally. "But you said months ago that you were getting married to Mr. Antonio Willan?" Lilo took in deep breaths before saying...

         "It's a long story but you can see someone took my place while I was away. Well happy marriage life to them." She said. Thinking of everything she said she was more than proud of herself cause the entire city was on fire. She was the city's most loved supermodel with a huge following on all social media sites. Her fan base was massive for a model, young girls aspired to be like her.

       So them seeing the city's diamond being hurt, it hurt them greatly too. In less than an hour, more information about her and Antonio's failed marriage surfaced on the internet. She knew her ex-best friend was behind this but she didn't care, it won't do a thing to her reputation. Her fans are good at spinning narratives.

         'It is said that the home wrecker was a hired substitute to represent Lilo Stan in family meetings only but she had other intentions.' The news spread like wildfire across the city, and Vivian was very much pleased with her daughter. She should have just let Lilo handle things as she said before, but she was happy with the little one she did.

       She has green eyes, she looks just like his Lilo, Ben kept staring at the picture on his paused TV. Something wasn't adding to this, earlier he thought it was an imagination but it isn't. Mina's birthmark was her eyes, she had green eyes and her sister had blue eyes. She took his eyes and Lilo took her mother's eyes. What if she's his missing Mina? 

         No, it cannot be, they said his Mina is dead. He picked up his phone and dialed a number, "Get me the clear copies of those pictures on the internet." He ordered.

        Bella stood on the wooden bridge after finally changing her outfit to a new one since was feeling a bit cold. She took pictures of herself and her family, and then took pictures of her daughters, and then pictures of herself and Antonio together. Their kiss photos, she couldn't wait to post it all online.

        "Mummy, I hurt my hands." Jojo showed her pinky finger which with little blood stains. "Baby." Bella squat to her level and kissed her hands, she cleaned the blood stain with her thumb tenderly before blowing her hands gently. "Haha, it tickles." Jojo laughed out moving her body. "Is it better now?" She nodded at her mother's words.

         They continued their movement till the end of the bridge, two among the three guards carried the girls when they started sleeping while the other whispered something in his ears and he frowned slightly. They were tarnishing his wife's image why?

       On their way home, Antonio kept on wondering how his picture with his family got on the news in his city. Who had taken the photo without his knowledge, this is one of the reasons he hated the paparazzi. He was yet to help her get over her fears of attending public places with him and then this comes up.

        They arrived back at the cabin where Edmund had gotten them temporary help to take care of the girls. Since they had already eaten in a restaurant, Bella just took her bath and went to bed. She got up an hour into her sleep and updated her Facebook status to married before posting those beautiful photos. She kissed the man next to her which she regretted cause he wasn't asleep yet.

         She should never have initiated a kiss now he wouldn't let her go. "Sweetest." She called to distract him from planting kisses around her body but he didn't stop but rather hummed to the call of his name while he continued his actions. "Sweetest we'd wake the kids." 

          "Then be quiet so you don't wake them up," Antonio responded placing his hand between her legs as he touched her down there. Bella squeezed her thighs together trapping his hands at a spot, but his fingers tickled her to loosen her grip only for him to fully place his hands down there.

        She moaned but quickly held her lips with her hands. She felt his two fingers moving in an out of her as she grabbed his shoulder desperately fighting hard to stop herself from crying out loudly. This was the feeling of pleasure with a little touch of torture and she loved it.

         She arched her back, biting her lower lips as she groaned, with time he got faster and faster thrusting in and out of her. Bella didn't think she could hold in anymore she didn't care anymore she just wanted to scream and cry from the immense pleasure she was feeling.

        She reached her highest peak and only then did he dive fully into her, she could feel him fully in her. He let her calm down a bit before moving slowly again. Antonio decided they did it just once cause of her condition, he didn't want her passing out again. They both had their bath and got back to sleep, luckily they didn't get to wake the kids up.

       Bella got up the next morning to her phone blowing up, this time she was the first to get up. She quickly opened her Facebook app to see her latest post having five(5) likes and more than twenty thousand (20,000) comments. She wondered why she was suddenly getting such engagement for the first time.

         "Home wrecker🤮🤮." Was the first comment on her page.

         "I wish you and your baby die😡⚰️⚰️. #HOMEWRECKERSFUNERAL⚰️⚰️"

        "What's your gain in destroying such a happy couple🤬🤬?"

          "You're a witch, leave Lilo alone😤😤."

          "What are you doing with your phone this early? You should sleep some more." Antonio said to the woman on the bed only to see streaks of tears falling from her eyes.
