Bella’s face suddenly stiffened.
"What do you an this is related to ?" she asked, confused.
"What happened last night was related to you," Tristan answered.
She started to rember sothing that had confused her and Sam: The Dark Skull had stopped following her since Bryan began working for her.
But why were they following her? She rembered that she had not yet reunited with Tristan, and nobody knew about her relationship with him, which confused her.
"Tristan, I know that Dark Skull has been following for so ti. But then, sothing confused ; they stopped tailing after Bryan beca my driver. Did Bryan make them stop following ?" Bella asked curiously.
Tristan was shocked to learn that Bella had known about Dark Skull tailing her all along.
"So you knew about them long before...?" He asked.
"Yeah. Sam knew about them the first day they started tailing . I suspect they’re following because of our business matters. You know, I have many enemies, too," she said with a faint smile. "I know they tailed . But not long after, they no longer follow us," Bella explained.
"I see. Yes, Bryan noticed them. So, he instructed his small team to follow you everywhere you go and, at the sa ti, to distract those people to find out where you live. That ti, we did not know they were Dark Skull because they managed to escape when we tried to catch them."
"Ah, no wonder. I think they are no longer interested in . That’s why the Sentinel Network no longer investigated them," Bella said.
"Even though Bryan’s team managed to distract them, those people never stopped. They try to find out your identity; they have a strong hacker. I thought you knew about it, right?" Tristan heard from Stefan that he had told her.
"Yes. Stefan told about it. So, those people who were interested in my identity were from Dark Skull?"
"Yes, we only found out after we captured those who followed you," Tristan told her about the day of the restaurant incident. They managed to capture those people, and only then did all the information lead them to Dark Skull and the Dark Rose chain of businesses.
"Wow, these people know about our relationship through your announcent on the internet and are bold enough to capture , too? Unbelievable..."
Bella couldn’t help but be surprised. If there hadn’t been an incident that day with the crazy woman trying to hurt Dax, Dark Skull’s people would probably have captured her and Dax. Just thinking about it gave her goosebumps.
"Yes, they might be doing that." Tristan’s face turned dark again, rembering that day.
However, a second later, he dismissed his anger and continued, "Yesterday, we finally found their location. I didn’t want them to run away, so last night, I decided to carry out a secret mission with special forces to ambush their base camp."
Tristan told her everything about what happened last night. He didn’t hide anything anymore because he realized his wife had the resources to find out about it anyway.
Bella was silent for a few minutes after hearing Tristan’s long and confusing explanation. So many questions now appeared in her mind, but sohow, she couldn’t ask him. All her words stuck in her throat.
As if knowing what Bella was thinking, Tristan gently patted her hands.
"Don’t worry, my dear love. Everything is under control. But I won’t lower your guard if you go out because I never know who will cause trouble for you and Dax," Tristan tried to reassure her, as he could see the worry still lingering in her eyes.
This made Tristan decide not to tell her about the real leader of Dark Skull, his mortal enemy, Mad Dog, who is still out there waiting for the opportunity to co back and attack him through the people he cared about the most.
But, of course, Tristan will not just sit and do nothing. Before that villain cos after him, he will surely capture him first, no matter the cost.
"Hmm, I understand," Bella agreed with him. She knows how crazy people are nowadays. She still worries that a crazy woman like Kelly Davis will appear before her again, hurting her and Dax. She had better listen to Tristan than be sorry if sothing happened to her son.
Tristan said nothing else but pulled his wife into his warm embrace. They hugged for a while, enjoying each other’s company.
But not long after, Tristan’s stomach growled, prompting Bella to imdiately loosen her hug and look up to et his gaze.
"Oh...I’m sorry, hubby. I forgot you were not eating sothing. It’s almost ten. You need to have breakfast now before you go to your office," Bella said as she stood up.
She pulled him to follow her to the dining room.
Tristan didn’t take long to breakfast, as he had to rush to his office.
After Tristan finally left for his office, Bella also needed to contact Stefan. Her worry about Dark Skull still lingers in her mind, even though Tristan had already reassured her.

In the afternoon,
Bella enjoyed her tea and sweet cake in the back garden while looking at the distant forest.
Geoffrey and Noora sat in front of her. Bella called them to discuss the upcoming celebration of Dax’s birthday, which will be held on Sunday, three days from now.
Bella asked Geoffrey and Noora about the preparation updates.
"Mam, all the preparations are ready. The vendors will start decorating the hall tomorrow. The chefs are also prepared with the nu you requested," Geoffrey explained, detailing all the tasks they had completed in the past week.
"Young Miss, please trust us. We will ensure our young master’s first birthday celebration in this country is unforgettable," Noora added with excitent.
"Thank you, Geoffrey and Aunty Noora," Bella expressed gratitude to them.
Bella felt grateful and excited because, this year, her son would be surrounded by more family. Unlike last year, when only she and Noora were present, her family and Tristan’s grandpa and father would join them this year.
