Chapter: Isabelle’s POV On her way home from work that evening, Isabelle came across Jacob jogging in the community. He was dressed in a pair of running shorts that left his long muscular legs exposed, and a t-shirt that made it easy to imagine the muscular physique hidden beneath.Soon as her thoughts went to forbidden territory, she stopped them and focused on the matter that had been on her mind all day. Jacob was the only person from last night who knew her identity and who took the incentive to stop Mr Grayson. There was a high probability that he was the one who had reported him to the police."How was work?" he asked when he got to her and fell into step with her on their way home."It was good," she said, and then looked up at him. "Some officers came in the morning and arrested the director. Are you the one who went to the police with the surveillance video from last night?""Oh, they did?" he nodded approvingly. "Good. Yes, I'm the one who gave them the video.""Thank you," she told him. "He was tr

Chapter: Jacob’s PovWhen Jacob's finger tugged on the towel and it became a little loose, Isabelle snapped out of the trance he had distracted her into. Her face flushed afresh, and as her mind rattled back into work-mode, she realised how precarious her situation was.She had let this go too far.Pushing Jacob's hand away, she ducked under his arm and reached for her door. This time, he didn't stop her as she twisted the handle and pushed the door open. She slammed it closed behind her-as if to further emphasise that she was not up for whatever he had in mind. Rushing to her mirror, she pressed her hands to her face and took deep breaths. She had no idea who she was more pissed at-him for teasing her in her state of undress, or her for giving him any sign that she liked it.It seemed that she was getting too comfortable with him and forgetting that not only was he her pretend husband, but that she was also deceiving him about her identity. Nothing could happen between them as long as she was living a l

Chapter: Jacob’s PovJacob let go of Isabelle's face and looked away. "I was in the company of a friend," he replied to her question."Oh," she muttered, remembering how the men in the private room had all been there with women in their arms. What was Jacob doing there? Had he also been there with a lover? Did he flirt with the women there?The thought bothered her, but she didn't let it show on her face."I'll go and take a shower," she told him, getting to her feet. He nodded and shifted to let her leave the sofa.In the bathroom, she stood under the shower for a long time, enjoying the feel of the cascading water over her skin. Even though Mr Grayson hadn't succeeded in touching her the way he wanted, she still found herself scrubbing her skin thoroughly. Somehow, she felt as if washing thoroughly would not only wash away any trace of his touch on her but also wash away the memory of what happened.By the time she was done, she felt a lot better. Her body had also stopped trembling. It wasn't until she

Chapter: Isabelle’s POV Mr Grayson cursed and turned around, wondering who it was that had the nerve to barge in the room to interrupt him. In front of him was a tall dark-haired man giving him a cold glare.He wasn't familiar to him. And he was sure none of the men who were outside drinking with their dates would have interrupted him. He also didn't look like a security guard-he was wearing a suit and a long coat like an office worker.Supporting himself on his hands, he gotup and faced him, sneering. "Who the fuck are you?" He wasn't about to let anyone ruin this for him.When Mr Grayson suddenly released her and fell backwards, Isabelle shot up from the bed, thinking that perhaps one of the people in the room outside had finally come to help her. But when her eyes fell on Jacob instead, a happy cry left her lips as she crawled over the bed and to him.He took her in his arms and held her close as she hid her face in his chest, sobs causing her entire body to shake. She could hardly believe he was there,

Chapter: Isabelle’s POV After the incident with Claudia, Mr Grayson stopped making advances towards Isabelle. He no longer called ✓ her to his office frequently or offered to help her with her work. This convinced Isabelle that he had given up, and she was finally able to relax fully.So it caught her by surprise when he approached her one evening after work and asked her to join him to have dinner with a client. Isabelle's heart sank as she realised that he had not given up. Instead, he had been biding his time."I'm sorry but I can't join you," she rejected his invitation politely, hoping he would let it go. She gathered her stuff into her bag, wanting to make an escape quickly.Mr Grayson stepped in her way. "You should come with me, Ms Cruz. I want to introduce some resources that can help you a lot here at work.""Thank you for the consideration," she told him, "but I really cannot go with you. I have urgent matters to attend to, so I have to leave right away.""Do you think I wasted my time coming here

Chapter: Isabelle’s POV "Let go of me!" Claudia demanded, grabbing at a desk and digging her heels into the floor to keep Isabelle from dragging her any further. "What do you think you are doing?""What are you afraid of?" Isabelle asked, not relaxing her grip around her arm. "You said that you saw us with your own eyes. We are only going to confirm with the director.""You are crazy," Claudia accused. "This is harassment, I can report you to HR-""I'll accompany you to show them the video of you slandering me," Isabelle informed her.When they were almost at the director's office, the door burst open and Mr Grayson appeared, a frown on his face. He looked around at the gathered workers, and then his eyes zeroed in on Isabelle and Claudia. "What on earth is going on here?" he demanded.Isabelle finally let go of Claudia and faced the department director. This was her chance to stop everything once and for all, in front of everyone. "Claudia is spreading rumours that you and I went to a hotel together last ni

Chapter: BLAZE'S POVDays, I've spent days not being able to sleep, eat or even breathe properly, and it's all because she said to never come back.I want to respect her wishes, but four days of no appetite and little to no sleep has been making my patience extremely thin.The light bang on my front door has my eyes rolling as I get up, and I wish my mother would accept my request to be left alone.A sense of numbness falls over me as I open the door and directly look into Monty's eyes, "What's up man?" he taps my arm before sliding into my house.I turn, my gaze following him as he stops in the middle of the foyer, looking around, "Nice place,", he beams, but I still don't speak."Are you okay?" he asks, staring at me with strange wide eyes, "I am fine, what do you want?" My throat is dry as I speak, and it itches."Well I just wanted to talk," he shrugs, "Anything new in your life? Perhaps something old that came back? I don't know," he shrugs, again."I just want to be friends again, so how has life be

Chapter: AERILYN'S POVThere was no way that I was going to let Blaze control me, or take me back to that horrendous place that I've escaped.I will never go back there, and I am showing him how serious I am."Do it," she grins like he thinks I wouldn't do it, but he has one thing wrong and that is my determination to stay out of that hell hole.I left the pack for a reason, and if he wants to take me back, it's going to be with my corpse.I inhale a steady breath as I dig the knife into my flesh.I bite down on my teeth as it stings, and I could feel the blood trickling down my throat as I slowly drag it across.Blaze's eyes widen, panic filling them and he screams, "Stop!" he storms closer, and I drop my hand, gulping."I'll leave," he mutters breathlessly, and I drop the knife, "Then go," I croak out and he stops in front of me, his eyes flicking between mine, "Are you insane?" he breathes out, his chest rising and falling fast."I told you that I'm not going back," I deadpan and I refrain from feeling a

Chapter: BLAZE’S POVI reach for my car handle, tensing when I hear Monty's voice calling out my name, "Blaze, can I catch a ride with you?" he shouts over the lawn, and I roll my eyes, turning to look at him jogging over.Monty's wearing a white shirt with his dark blue jeans, and I just stare until he stops in front of me."Why?" I ask blandly, and his eyes widen, offense written all over his face."I told my parents I'd meet them there...", "Then take your own car, I have errands to run." I deadpan and his eyes narrow as his brows furrow together."Alright," he takes a few steps back, then he smiles, "See you there," he waves goodbye and leaves.I can't let him drive with me, because I have somewhere else to be first.Driving into the city was peaceful until all the traffic started and my blood started to boil.I'm going to be late if I stop at her house first..."Shit," I curse and change direction.

Chapter: AERILYN’S POVWalking into the office, I can feel everyone's eyes on me, especially Julie's. She's in love with Ryan, and everyone can see it except for Ryan.He's a sweet man, but he's so oblivious to her affection. She brings him coffee every morning, and not the cheap kind, and I know she's been the one staring daggers at the back of me."Good morning," Ryan slides in beside me, and I ignore the rest as we head to a meeting in the conference room."Hi, Ryan," I beam as he snakes his arm around my back, squeezing me closer to him in a tight hug."Are you ready for it?" he grins, looking nervous and excited at the same time.I didn't plan on coming in this early, but when he called me this morning and told me there was a meeting, I quickly got ready and came in."I don't know what it is," I roll my eyes playfully, and his knowing grin intrigues me.Is he planning something?"Do you?"

Chapter: BLAZE’S POV Guilt is what I feel as I finish myself off while sitting across the road from her house, her silhouette was my show and I could see her from afar for once, I could see the waviness of her hair and the shape of her body.Every fibre of my being wants to ring that bell on the gate, but she doesn't want anything to do with me, and she made that very clear.I wish that I could buy her a gift and spoil her, because today she had a milestone, which I'm very proud of, but there's a bigger piece of me wishing that she wasn't so successful.I have waisted hours and large amounts of money getting rid of her face in public photos and videos too, and it's hard work when she's just becoming more famous.I had to buy pictures worth thousands of dollars just to stop the paparazzi from taking the photos they took of her to the news.I have a special detective on her every single day, watching her for her safety, but sometimes it still doesn't feel enough and that's why I drive out here every single

I haven't changed the world, and I'm not even close, but I have changed the world for some people.This morning's case was especially close to home, so I fought for that woman with every ounce of energy I had.Ryan rests his hand on my shoulder, squeezing it as he stares at me with amazement in his eyes, and I recognize that look."Can I go home? It's been a long morning," I sigh, and Ryan looks slightly disappointed, but agrees, "You deserve it," and he's right. I do deserve it, because I have worked on that case for months."I'll see you tomorrow," I smile as I turn to leave.I feel terrible that I didn't stay for the cake I noticed, but I don't want Ryan to think that I'm romantically interested in him like he is in me.I fe
