The Billionaire 3: Tyron Cruz novel Chapter 29

A week had passed and yet there is still no update from Gabriel if they apprehended Frederick, but Gabriel didn’t fail to see to it that they are in a good shape.

Isabella sometimes feels awkward towards him as he always calls her to ask her if she’s okay and how she’s coping up with her morning sickness. He would also call her to ask if there is something that she’s craving for and would send Helen to buy it.

Maja would even tease her about it, but she just brushes it off. It may seem like Gabriel is caring for her to others, but she can feel that Gabriel is somewhat being forced.

Isabella sighs and opens her social media account, there are lots of fans asking how is she after Tyron’s death, they are even curious of where she at since after that shocking news, she’s suddenly out of the public’s eye.

She wanted to reply to them or give them an update but she’s afraid that with her single post, they might be put into danger. She heaves out another sigh and rubs her belly.

“Little one, I miss your father.” She said as a tear started to fall from her eyes. “I didn’t even tell him about you… I’m so sorry, little angel.”

Isabella hears Ivy and Don Samuel’s voice in the distance. One good thing that happened after Tyron’s tragic death is that there is no more awkwardness between the two families. The twins are also fond of Don Samuel to the point that they are always asking the old Don to play with them, in which the Don is happy to obliged.

She can notice that there is an improvement in her grandfather’s health; he has become livelier, which is a good sign. But he would sigh every time he thinks of Ricardo as he treated him as his own son.

“Bella, did Ricardo call?” The Don asked while they are having their afternoon snack.

“He didn’t call, grandpa.” Isabella answers and the Don sighs. “Don’t worry, grandpa, I’m sure that he’s okay.”

“I hope so, Bella. I hope so.” The Don said.

“Don Samuel, Isabella, come quick!” Miguel said frantically. They look at each other before going inside the house.

“What’s wrong, Miguel?” The Don asks.

“Watch the news.” Miguel answers as he raises the volume of the television. Helen, the maids and even Leon is in the living room with a serious look in their face.

“A buy bust operation was held last night to apprehend the two of the biggest drug lords in the country and they are identified as Frederick Cruz and Ramon Madrigal. Ramon Madrigal is dead as they exchange fires with the authorities while Frederick Cruz is still at large.” The news anchor said. “There are rumors that Frederick Cruz is the mastermind behind the death of Henry Cruz and Hernan Morgan years ago and even his nephew Tyron Cruz.” The anchor continues.

“Damn!” Miguel curses.

“Oh no, what should we do?” Ivy asks worriedly.

“He will surely find a way to find us.” Don Samuel said.

“You don’t have to worry, Don Samuel, we will make sure that you will be safe.” Leon said. “As of now, the team is tracing him and he didn’t have any idea where you are.”

“You’re not just a simple nurse, are you?” Isabella said. “All of you here are working under Gabriel, right?”

“I am a military nurse.” Leon said. “And yes, we are all working under Gabriel’s command, so you don’t have to worry about anything.”

“Then do you know where Ricardo is?” The Don asks. “We still haven’t heard from him since last week.”

“Don’t worry about Ricardo, Don Samuel, he is safe and is helping Ty—I mean, he is helping Sir Gabriel.” Leon stuttered.

“That’s a relief then.” The Don said and heave out a sigh of relief.

“Miguel…” Maja worriedly calls her husband from the staircase.

“What is it, hon?” Miguel asks as he approaches his wife.

“The kids…” Maja began to tear up, making them worried. “The kids can’t stop crying… apparently they heard us talking about Tyron’s death… I tried reasoning them up but they are smart…”

“Hush…” Miguel hugs his wife to calm her. “I will talk and explain it to them.”

“They are too close to Tyron that is why they are so heartbroken.” Ivy said, wiping her tears.

Just then the twins come down rushing from upstairs and approach Isabella.

“You are a liar!” Michelle said while her tears are flowing down her eyes. “You told us that Uncle Tyron will come but he is dead!”

Isabella is taken aback and she glances at her mother-in-law who is also speechless.

“I… I’m…”

“You are a liar!” Michael said. Isabella tries to hold them but they slap her hand away.

“Don’t touch us!” Michelle shouted.

“Michelle, don’t be rude to your Aunt!” Miguel warns.

“I don’t have an aunt who is a liar!” Michelle said as she continues to shed tears.

Isabella sighs and scooch down to meet the eyes of the twins.

“I’m sorry if I lied to you.” She started. “You are too young to understand this but it is not my intention to lie to the two of you. It is just that I know how much you love your uncle Tyron and I just can’t bear to tell you about his death.” She said as she tries not to cry herself. “I know how you feel because I also love your Uncle Tyron so much and it really hurts knowing that I will not see him again.” She explains.

“But you know, even if your Uncle is not here anymore, he still lives in our heart and in our memories.” Isabella continues and she wipe the tears on the twins’ face. “And even if he’s not here, he left us with a part of him—his baby.” She sniffs. “I am sure that your little cousin will look just like your Uncle Tyron.”

“Cousin?” Michael asks as he sniffs.

“Yes… There is a baby in my tummy.” Isabella smiles. “So, don’t be sad, okay? Your Uncle Tyron will not like that.”

The twins burst out crying as Isabella hugs them.

“It’s okay… Everything will be okay…” Isabella said as tears flows down her cheeks as she can’t contain her emotions. “I promise, we will see your Uncle again in due time but it is not the right time.”

“We will see him in heaven?” Michael asks.

“Yes… In heaven.” Isabella said.

“The kids are now fast asleep.” Maja said and took a seat in front of her. “Thank you for calming down the twins, Isabella.” She added.

“They really love Tyron.” Isabella said. “And that proves that he will be a great father.”

“You are so strong, Isabella. You’re pregnant and yet you remain positive even though you are going through a lot.” Maja said.

“I am not strong, Maja.” Isabella bitterly smiles. “The truth is, I want to believe that Tyron is alive, and that is what I am holding on until today.”

“Bella…”

“I know it sounds silly but I have the feeling that he’s still alive… I don’t care if he doesn’t remember me or he is missing a limb or two… I don’t care about those; I just want him to be alive.”

“What will you do if he’s alive?” Maja asks out of nowhere.

“I would be extremely happy not just for myself but for everyone.” Isabella answers. “And I will confess my love to him, I don’t care if he will not reciprocate my feelings, what’s important is that I will not make the same mistakes anymore.”

“Let’s just hope for the best.” Maja said and embrace her and she cannot help not to cry.

“If only I can tell you everything…” Maja thought to herself as she silently comforts her sister-in-law.
