Opening up the mysteries!

Author's POV

"Stop she is Arabella..."

Isabella said standing near the entrance and panting heavily. She was not wearing a bridal gown, she was in black jeans and top.

Everyone looked at her and frowned.

Damian looked at her and smirked. The girl he married was rose and not isabella. Rose got out of Ashton's hold and stumbled, damian quickly grabbed her and placed her head on his chest. He kissed her forehead and gently caressed her hair. Rose was not in her senses, she was totally unaware of whatever was going around her.

"D..Damian?..."

She whimpered.

"Shh... It's ok baby, we are done ..."

He cooed to her and lifted her up in his arms, she placed her head in his neck and closed her eyes embracing sleep.

"Bitch you think we don't know about it, we are not deaf we heard it when priest called out her name during the oaths..."

Olivia said mockingly and everyone laughed at her.

"Dami?..."

Isabella looked at damian in confusion and emily rolled her eyes at her stupidity.

"Shut the fuck up you bitch... You thought I will marry a girl like you..."

Damian growled angrily at her but his hold on rose remained gentle.

Stella was glaring at isabella with hate too.

Isabella looked at all the hateful gaze she was receiving from the crowd and clenched her jaw. This time she showed her real face to everyone, she pulled out the gun from her waistband and pointed towards damian.

"Ohh no baby, don't make that mistake..."

Jackson said chuckling and snatched the gun from her hands.

Isabella glared at damian hatefully, her eyes were full of disgust.

"How long are you going to hide behind my sister damian knight. Stop being a fucking coward..."

She spat angrily at him.

"May I know the reason behind this hate..."

Damian said still smirking at her as he knew he is the one controlling the game now.

"Because you deserve this hate. You killed my Roy, the love of my life and now I will kill you..."

She growled.

Everyone was shocked after listening her confession, they never thought that isabella was with Roy. Damian clenched his jaw and glared at her.

"Yes I killed him because that bastard deserved it and I am going to do the same with you. I am giving you one last chance, run and hide in whatever hole you have digged for yourself because if I get my hands on you, you will beg for your life and no one can save you from me not even your father..."

Damian threatened her and she glared back.

Isabella's angry face turned into frightened one when she saw her father coming out of the crowd. He was the only one on this earth who could control her, isabella was terrified of her father, so scared that she started shaking in fear just by his mere presence.

Her father Vincent was standing there in his black suit, his face was furious and he was looking at her with a murderous glare.

Isabella stepped back in fear when she saw him.

"Don't waste your time honey, run ..."

Jackson said smirking.

Isabella turned on her heels and ran outside the mansion.

Damian looked at the girl in his arms and kissed her forehead lovingly.

One day before the marriage...

When rose snatched the dagger from damian's hand and went to her room, jack noticed the tensed expressions on damian's face. And when jack said it might be Xavier who attacked them damian looked at him disapprovingly.

Everyone went to their respective rooms but jack and damian went to his office.

"Okay now will you tell me what the hell is going on in your mind damian. Why are you behaving like this with rose. And why don't you think it's Xavier?..."

Jack asked throwing himself on the sofa as his whole body was screaming in pain after the mini war they had outside.

Damian sat in front of him and sighed.

"Because it's isabella who did it..."

Damian said and jack looked at him with lightning speed.

"What the fuck, isabella? But why would she do this..."

Jack asked in shock.

"Because isabella is not bella. Arabella is bella..."

Damian said and jack looked at him confused.

"What? Come again"

He said frowning making damian glare at him.

"Wait it's so confusing, so let's make it easy. You are explaining this right?... Then call that little girl bella, call Arabella as rose and isabella as isabella... Okay. So we won't get confused..."

He said and damian nodded in agreement.

"Okay, continue..."

"You remember when isabella came here, that night rose was trying to tell me something but isabella interrupted us and rose never talked about it again..."

Damian said and jack shrugged.

"And?..."

"When rose talked to me that night she said that if she told me her secret then I will hate her. She was scared to tell me that and I knew that it would have to be something big..."

He replied and jack nodded furiously, carefully listening his each and every word.

"And when I asked isabella how did she escaped she said that leo forgot to lock the door but when I asked Stella she said that leo is out of country. Then how can he forgot to lock her... It didn't clicked me at that moment but when I was sitting in my study then I realised it. I was sure that one of them was lying but it was difficult to find out who..."

Jack hummed in response and other voice interrupted them. It was Jackson.

"And then damian called me and told me to take care of rose as she was having emotional breakdown, I went to her room and found her on the bathroom floor, crying..."

Jackson said and sat beside jack.

"It means it was your plan to make Jackson Rose's fake boyfriend?..."

Jack asked looking at them in disbelief and they both nodded.

"I knew she was getting hurt in all this mess and I couldn't take care of her because I wanted to sort this out that's why I asked Jackson for help as he is the only one who knows rose better than anyone..."

Damian explained and jack nodded.

"Okay then?..."

"Then I started keeping close eye on isabella and Stella. Something was off about isabella, and I wanted to find out what... Jackson told me that he cought isabella sneaking in Rose's room many times and it was making my doubts more stronger... And then I started to observe her. I played the piano, the same song I used to play for bella. Bella was obsessed with that song and always requested me to play it for her.

But when I played it in front of isabella she asked me what the name of the song was, she couldn't recognise it..."

Damian said.

Jack frowned and said.

"But she was too young at that time what if she have forgot about it..."

"That's what I thought too but when I came out of the bathroom that day I saw her writing something and she was writing with her right hand and little bella was lefty..."

Damian stated and jack straightened his position.

"Oh my god..."

"And then it confirmed me that she is not my bella but to be more sure I cross checked it with rose. I called rose in my office and asked her to sign a contract. Rose took pen from me and signed it with her left hand, she was even carrying the coffee mug in her left hand. It was confirmed that rose is left handed..."

Damian said and jack stopped him.

"But rose is ambidextrous, she can use her both hands equally well..."

He asked confused.

Jackson nodded at him.

"Yes because we are trained for that, we got trained to use our both hands in equal manner so injuries won't make us weak and rose originally uses her left hand, I know about it..."

"So rose is bella..."

Jack asked shocked and damian nodded.

"Yes and this is not the only proof. I saw Isabella's medicine in the dustbin when I was finding proof against her. It means she is lying about her health problems. She doesn't have any heart problem. And I saw her eating strawberries, she was eating them like it was her favourite fruit ..."

Damian said in anger.

"So what if she eating strawber... Fuck, fuck, fuck... Bella had trypophobia and rose has trypophobia too, rose literally threw my strawberries away when I gifted that to her. "

Jack said when he realised it.

"Yes, bella had trypophobia but isabella didn't... it was another proof that she is not my bella.

And that dagger..."

"What about the dagger..."

Jackson asked.

"When we were small, uncle Vincent, Bella's father showed me that dagger saying that it's from his father and he showed that dagger to bella in front me saying she will get that dagger in future as the family's heirloom. That dagger belonged to bella and now rose has it. It's another proof that rose is bella..."

Damian explained and jack and Jackson both grabbed their heads in frustration.

"Yeah, I know about that dagger. Rose always kept it close to her but never used because she didn't wanted to loose it. She told me that it's from her father and she wants to cherish it..."

Jackson explained.

"Okay I understood everything expect one thing. If rose is bella then why didn't she told you about it, why did she back off when isabella came in between you too..."

Jack asked curiously.

"That's what I am trying to find out. Because Jackson told me that rose knew me before she became my bodyguard. She has told Jackson about me then why is she not saying anything to me. It's really confusing..."

Damian groaned in frustration.

"Then why haven't you confronted her about it, why didn't you ask her ?..."

Jack questioned.

"She thinks I belong to isabella jack. She feels like she has no right to love me, she said the same thing to Jackson. There is some big reason behind it, she must have a valid reason to think like that and I am trying to find it out. I don't know what was the reason but I feel like rose is just clueless as us. She only knows the half truth about whatever is happening..."

Damian explained and Jackson nodded his head in agreement.

"He is right jack rose had no idea about what happened while she was gone."

Jackson said.

"Why didn't you asked Stella about it, I am sure she could have told you everything..."

Jack said and both of them shook their head negatively.

"She will only lie jack, that woman is a bitch..."

Jackson said hatefully.

"Yeah, you have no idea how much I want to kill her. She abandoned her own daughter. What kind of a mother is she..."

Damian said disgustingly.

"What ..."

Jack said in disbelief, all this information he was getting was too much for him.

"Yeah and she came to the hospital to visit rose but rose didn't talked to her. Rose hates Stella..."

Jackson said and damian glared at him.

Jackson looked at damian and shrugged...

"What... man Don't look at me like that. I was bitching about you in front of rose because you told me to do that. Because of your so called plan that you wanted to protect rose by keeping her away from you..."

"I told you to keep her away from me and you were telling her things which were hurting her more and what shit were you talking in front of Stella that rose is yours..."

Damian growled and Jackson raised his hands in surrender.

"I was in my character man and Stella heard everything so I had to say that to her. I didn't really mean it... You know, we can't trust anyone right now, that's why we kept it secret right..."

He shrugged.

"And anyway I don't have any interest in being an obsessive maniac..."

He said and jack chuckled.

"No seriously bro, I was feeling stupid while saying that... ' because she is mine '..."

Jackson mimicked his own actions and jack bursted out laughing.

"That's why damian turned your face black and blue ..."

Jack said laughing.

"Yeah, I didn't knew that Damian was watching everything through the cameras and when I got home he beat the shit out of me. Rose was asking me about it and I lied that Ashton and I were practicing..."

Jackson said with a sulking face.

"You fucking deserved it. I told you to lock her in her bedroom so she won't come out, you knew that those Assassins were hired to kill her and that's why told I you to do that. I didn't wanted her to get more hurt in the fighting and you couldn't even do it properly, she came out within 2 minutes after you locked her."

Damian snarled and Jackson sighed.

"Look damian, your girl is a Class A fighter. One of the best fighter and assassin of R agency, no one in this motherfucking world can cage her. The first thing they trained us for was how to free ourself from this kind of things and she is the best at it. So, don't blame me for that. I am lucky that she didn't beat my ass into a pulp for that, I almost risked my life for your love..."

Jackson said overdramatically and Damian rolled his eyes at him.

"Okay enough with both of you now, damian what are you waiting for, why don't you confront isabella about it..."

Jack said and damian shook his head negatively.

"It's not that easy jack, someone is helping her and they are trying to kill rose. I want to find out the person who is helping isabella in all these things..."

Damian sighed making jack frown.

"Kill rose?..."

He asked.

"Yes, the car accident that happened with rose, it was planned. I got the call from the servicing center saying that someone messed with the car breaks. After that the elevator incident happened and it too was planned. And in the club, everyone came out safely but rose got stuck inside... why? Someone is definitely trying to harm her..."

Damian said and they nodded in agreement.

"So you think isabella did it?..."

Jackson asked.

"I don't know about the blast because isabella was with us too. I am sure she is not that stupid, it looks like she herself was unaware of the attack...

But I am sure about those Assassins, they were hired to kill rose. Haven't you noticed that they all were specialist in martial arts. Isabella knew that rose is injured and she can't fight with them, that's why she did it...

I thought if I would maintain distance with rose, isabella will forget about her and focus on me that's why I took her on that date thinking she will give some hints about that person but I was wrong. Instead she was trying to make us stay there till late so her men could kill rose at home. "

Damian explained.

"I swear I am going to give her the worst death possible, bitch tried to kill my rose..."

Damian spat angrily.

"Calm down damian..."

Jack tried to calm him down.

"No jack, I almost lost her. You have no idea how I felt that day, it felt like I lost my world. My life has no meaning without rose, I can't live without her. When you told me that they found her dead body I thought about killing myself too because there is no meaning to live without her. Rose is my everything jack, she completes me. I don't care if she is bella or not. I don't give a fuck about isabella or Arabella anymore, I only want my rose. I was only staying away from her because I wanted to find out the truth about isabella and this was the only way to keep rose out of the danger. If I would have told her the truth, she wouldn't have sat quietly and would have tried to find out that person on her own and she always gets in trouble because of me. She never thinks about herself and this was the only way I could have kept her away from this. I don't want to loose her, I can't..."

Damian confessed. Jackson and jack both smiled, Jackson was happy that rose has damian to take care of her now.

Jack rubbed his face frustratingly and sighed.

"So the only thing which we are not sure of and we don't have any idea about is that bomb blast right?... Everything else is Crystal clear?..."

Jack asked.

"No, one more thing is remaining. We have to find out why rose didn't said anything about her being bella. How can isabella overpower her like this. Most importantly, why is isabella doing all this and who is that person who is helping her..."

Damian rubbed his forehead frustratingly and leaned back in his chair.

"And how will you find out that because rose is not ready to say anything..."

Jack asked.

"I know one person who can explain all this mess..."

Damian smirked and they both looked at him curiously.

"Who?..."

Jackson asked curiously.

"When I came back from the date with isabella I got a call from the hospital saying Vincent came out of his coma..."

Damian declared and jack literally danced in victory.

"Yes... Finally..."

He said excitingly.
