My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 159

Chapter 159: Dark Skull
Bella set aside Jessica Sinclair’s case. She opened another file about three people attempting to find her identity.

She knew about Jessica Sinclair and Amanda Spencer but was confused about Dark Skull.

She had never heard of that name before and had never encountered them.

‘What and why are they trying to find anything about me?’

This is the biggest question that now fills her mind. The unknown reason for their action in digging for information about her also caused anxiety for Bella.

Bella opened the information about Dark Skull, and what she found out shocked her.

Dark Skull was an underground organization. Mafia organization. They are notorious for their involvement in illegal activities, such as the unlawful sale of drugs and firearms.

However, many people are unaware of their illegal activity. Dark Skull is hiding under the company name the Dark Roses Group. They dominate the country’s illicit nightlife business, with numerous clubs, bars, and casinos under the same name and branches nationwide.

“What kind of information about me they are looking for? What is their end game?” Bella wonders, continuing to read the files to learn more about Dark Skull.

…

After reading the report about the Dark Skull organization, Bella took a deep breath and stood up from her seat.

She walked towards the window and looked at the dark sky while thinking. However, not long after, she heard a light knock on the door.

When Bella glanced at her watch, it was already seven p.m.

Bella couldn’t help but scold herself because she was too preoccupied with elaborating on the files, and she had completely forgotten about dinner. Now, she felt worried that her grandfather would scold her.

Noora appears behind the door and reminds her about dinner.

“Miss, I thought you slept again.”

“No, I was just too engrossed in the file I was reading and lost track of time for dinner.” She smiled apologetically.

Noora smiles back at her, “They haven’t started dinner, Miss. They all wait for you…”

Bella asks Noora to inform the others to start dinner without her. She will join them several minutes later. After she has finished freshening up. Then, she rushes to change her casual home clothes and joins the others.

Arriving at the dining room, Bella was surprised that they hadn’t started eating but were waiting for her, making her even more regretful.

After apologizing to the grandpas and Dax, they all start to dine.

At dinner, Isaac chats with Lewis. Meanwhile, Bella and Dax quietly enjoyed their dinner.

However, even though Bella seemed to have enjoyed her dinner, she still thought about the Dark Skull Organization in the back of her mind. She kept thinking about them. Setting a plan to discover their motives for gathering information about her.

Until her last bite, Dark Skull still puzzled her. She can’t fathom any reason for any criminal organization approaching her. And she never fears her adversaries when she knows their reasons. This one is different. This one is entirely unknown.

Bella decides to discuss this matter with Sam. He might know about Dark Skull with his background and past experiences as a member of this country’s military special force team.

…

After dinner, Isaac and Lewis continued talking again in the living room. Meanwhile, Bella accompanied Dax, who was watching television in the corner of the living room.

Bella uses this opportunity to tell Dax about her business trip visiting Nova City. She tells him she will take him with Aunt Noora to Nova City.

“Really, mommy!? You will take me for your business trip?” Dax asked excitedly. He couldn’t hide his excitement, especially since his mother told him she had rented a beach house for them to stay in temporarily for a week.

“Isn’t that amazing, baby? You, me, and Aunt Noora stay at a beach house for a week…!”

“YEAH! That is amazing, Mommy. So, when will we fly there?”

He read about Nova City on the internet. It boasts beautiful beaches and a warmer temperature than the capital.

“Uncle Leo already arranged everything so that we will fly there the day after tomorrow.”

“That fast?” Dax was slightly suprised. He thought they would go there next week. “What about my private lessons?”

“Don’t worry. I’ve asked Aunt Noora to postpone this week’s private classes to next week…” Bella explained.

Dax nods while smiling widely. He can’t hide his happiness knowing he will have another visit to a sandy beach again.

Later,

After chatting about Nova City, Dax returned to watching a space documentary on the television. However, before long, something crossed his mind.

He looked at his mother, who was typing on her cell phone.

“Mommy, how about daddy? Will he join us on this trip?” he asked curiously.

Bella was stunned to hear Dax’s question. She hadn’t told Tristan about her plans since this was related to her company.

However, after hearing Dax’s question, Bella thinks she should tell him because she will bring Dax with her for a week.

“Baby, I was planning to visit Nova City because of my work,” Bella smiled as she rubbed Dax’s back gently, “…and I think your daddy will be too busy to come with us. He has a lot of work to do. He might not have time to fly to Nova City with us.”

When Bella saw the disappointed look on his chubby face, she hurriedly added, “But, tonight, I will tell your Dad about our plans. Let him decide himself. If he has time, he can visit us at our beach house. Agree?”

Dax’s eyes gradually brightened as he nodded, “That’s a great idea, Mom. I hope Dad has time. I mean, he had missed my Piano Recital tonight. But a couple of days with Dad on the beach would be awesome. Also, I want to go fishing in the sea with him. Dad once promised to take me to the sea if the weather got warmer…”

Bella was amazed at how happy Dax had been discussing his future holiday plans with Tristan.

Initially, Bella didn’t want Tristan to follow them. But, after seeing her son’s beaming eyes, she began hoping that Tristan would join them in Nova City. Seeing Dax fully enjoy spending time with his Dad would be priceless.
