"Hey, are you okay?" Seth asked as he watched Isabella's face. "Do you want me to take you back to the hospital?" He asked her, concern written all over his face. He was worried about her because of how tired she looked. "I'm fine," Isabella yawned. She covered her mouth with the back of her hand to stiffen the yawn a bit. When she was done, she turned to look at him. "Are you sure you can get us home without running us into another car though?" She asked with a worried expression of her own. "Why not? I'm already driving, aren't I?" Seth asked her. They were on their way back to the house and he was driving them home in his car. "Did you see your face in the mirror?" Isabella asked him. Seth looked into the mirror overhead and grunted. His eyes were round and swollen. He also had dark circles surrounding the two eyes and there were bags sitting pretty under them. His cheeks were a little hollow and he could see his cheek bones. New hair growth decorated his jaw also. In other word
The light from the morning sun stole its way into the room and woke Isabella up from her sleep. She stretched herself, feeling very refreshed. She yawned as she opened her eyes and immediately she saw that someone was sleeping on the bed with her, she swallowed the rest of the yawning. She tried to move out of his reach but he chose that moment to hold her even closer to himself. She gasped softly and when she saw him frowned in his sleep, she stilled in his arms. As she watched him sleep, she couldn't help but remember how he had taken extra good care of her the previous night. The way he had fed her, bathed her, and tucked her into bed. Try as she may, she couldn't overlook the effort he made in making sure she was very comfortable. But then, she became very conflicted. She didn't know what to think or make of his attitude toward her. For a man who had accused her of being a gold digger, she couldn't understand why he would just take care of her that much. With the way he acted lik
Isabella was just about to dialed her mother's phone number when a new call came into her phone. When she saw that it was a strange number, she hesitated to pick the call since she didn't know who was on the line. She thought that it might be Bobby. While she wouldn't mind talking to the man, she needed to know what the situation was at the hospital. When the phone rang again, she picked it up with the aim of telling the man she would call him later. "Bobby, I would call you-" She started. "Isa, it is I, Seth's mother," B's voice came over the phone, effectively cutting off her words. "B!" Isabella exclaimed and got up from where she sat. "How are the twins?" She asked in a very worried tone. She was eager to know if there were any changes to her children's health. "And a very good morning to you too." The other woman told her in a sarcastic voice. "Pardon my manners," Isabella apologized. "I just wanted to know what is happening over there now." She let out a loud sigh. "You know
"I'm telling you guys that it is not what you are thinking about!" Isabella yelled at the two older women for what felt like the millionth time. "Victoria, drop that." She commanded her daughter who had a teddy bear halfway to her mouth. "Yeah, right." Her mother snorted at her. Isabella looked at the two women and shook her head in disbelief. She couldn't believe how much fuse the women were making just because she wore Seth's shirt. All through the ride home, they would not let her be. Now, they were already in the house and they were still giving her a hard time. No matter what she said or how many times she repeated it, it only felt like she was giving them more energy to dispute her words. "You know what? Just continue to say whatever it is you want to say?" She told them. To make sure they heard her well, she gestured with her hand, moving it up and down in order to encourage them to continue. "I'm not going to say a word about it anymore."The two older women began to giggle
"Here, here, here. Piping hot meals!" Isabella squeaked as she dropped a pot of hot soup on the dining table. Seth looked up from the computer he was working on and gave her a smile. "Hurry up, will you?!" She gestured with her hand for him to come to the table."Coming!" He answered but his attention was focused on what he was working on since he needed to cover up for the two to three days he missed at work. "Isabella, go and get some fruits from the refrigerator." Her mother commanded her."Yes, sire." She joked with the older woman and made her way from the room.Seth smiled to himself. Ever since their mothers arrived in the morning, the home has been hustling with activities. He had laughed so hard, he was afraid he must have expelled his bags of laughter in a single day. He lost his focus on the table when he saw a pair of legs standing in front of him. He looked up, tracing the legs to the short jeans skirt she wore and the black chiffon top she exchanged his shirt for, and s
82.“Isabella! Hurry up or you will be late for work!” Her mother yelled at her. “Coming,” Isabella yelled back at the woman. It was a Monday morning and she was getting ready for her first day of work at the resort. She smoothed her hands on the grey tight fitting pencil skirt that she wore. She examined herself once again through the mirror and adjusted the collar of her shirt. When she was sure she was okay, she sprayed some perfume on herself so she could smell fresh all day long. She made her way downstairs afterwards and met her mum and B each carrying the twins. Isabella was grateful for their presence a lot. Otherwise, she didn’t know how she would have been able to cope with taking care of the twins and still working the morning shift at the resort. But the women had helped her with the twins aspect. All she had to do was wake up in the morning and take care of herself, the two older women took care of the babies. “You look so beautiful.” Mrs. Allen said to her, looking a
"Don't even think about eating that meat or I'm going to kill you," Isabella threatened Seth with a very straight face.Seth, who had the piece of meat halfway to his mouth, paused and looked at Isabella to see if she meant her threat. When he saw how she was trying hard to keep her 'I'm very serious' look, he gave her an evil smile and popped the piece of meat into his mouth. He knew that what she said was nothing but an empty threat to stop him."Oops!" He gave the woman a feigned sorry look and began to chew the meat. He even made sure to chew the meat loudly just to annoy her.It was a Saturday afternoon and they were both home for the weekend. To show their mothers how appreciative they were for their help around the house, the two decided to cook lunch for everyone. They were boiling the red meat for the meal they were preparing when Seth stole one of it."Get out of my kitchen. Now!" Isabella told him, pointing the spatula in her hand in his direction."Well, I'm not the one who
Seth sat across the CEO of Goldman and Sons Corporation, his hand held each other on the table where he placed them. He was slightly afraid as he watched the expression on the man's face change so rapidly, he was unable to define what it was all about. Even though he was not revealing his emotions, he needed to bag the contract he was pursuing for his company. It would help him in his self-esteem and also to win other contracts easily.Goldman and Sons Corporation was a very popular one that dealt with different branches of the business world. From importing and exporting to fashion clothing and line to real estates and to vocational schools, the company deals with all of them. Therefore, it was always extra hard for any other company to win any contract with them."Mr. Allen?" The CEO of the company called suddenly. "Yes, Mr. Goldman?"The man went through the files on the table once again. Then he looked up. "To be honest, I am very impressed with all the documents and files I am s
