IsabellaMy eyes fluttered open and I stared at the ceilings.I had an interview and I was putting all my hopes on this because it was a low qualification.I moved to the bathroom and I had the warmest bath I could ever get in a millennium.I walked past my full mirror and I was horrified by the red bite marks across my body.That just served me right for having sex a day before my interview. I had to find something covered, professional, and classy to wear.I searched my wardrobe and I found a suitable outfit. It was a gift from Fiona. It was a tailored nude pan trousers and a jacket. It even came with its white innerwear. She told me it was made by her favorite designer.Once I'm done with it, I'll burn it to ashes.I let my hair fall to my shoulders, luckily I knew a few makeup tips. I highlighted my face a little, I grabbed my bag from the table, my phone was already inside.I gently locked the door behind me as my ride came after some minutes.It took approximately half an hour t
IsabellaI was working here now, I looked around in astonishment. It felt too good to be true. I wanted to start immediately!Poor guy, he got fired. Maybe the boss heard about it. But how did Damien do it? I felt no sense of pity for him. He deserved it, maybe I wasn't his first victim.I remembered I was supposed to be packing."Is it okay if I start tomorrow, Mr.?" I asked"Billy, please call me Billy," He said, "You can start anytime you want, but do take a rest for today," He said."Okay, Thank you," I replied with a smile."The company's car will take you home," He said before he rushed out of the office."My address?" I called but he was already far away. Maybe he still had the soft copy of my CV.I traced my fingers on the marble table as different thoughts found their way around in my head.How did Damien manage to do all this?I reached for my phone inside my bag and the door opened."The driver is waiting," Billy said and I returned my phone in my bag.I checked the time o
Isabella"Hi," I waved awkwardly at both of them. The woman and Damien walked towards her."Isabella, this is my very good friend Mia from school and your wedding planner," He introduced.The jealousy I felt earlier has dissolved.His eyes scanned my entire outfit, taking in my image before he looked away."But I have to admit, you are really beautiful," She complimented as she moved closer and I smiled."I froze from shock when Damien called and told me he was getting married," She confessed."Please Isabella, don't mind her rambling," He dismissed and she chuckled."Please let's go, have a seat beside me, we need to discuss the wedding arrangements," she said and I followed her.She held a brown paper bag, she poured the contents of the bag on the table. I peeked at the papers, they were just wedding plans."This is the first one," She showed me.It was green and gold with minimum decorations and little lights.The decoration was beautiful, but it was too simple for me to use."It
ISABELLA"You do," He replied with no expression across his face.I knew he was familiar, but I just didn't know where I had seen him before. Maybe in Camilla's office? Was he perhaps a shareholder?"We met in a club, we had a little session and now we are getting married, that's how you know me," He replied and a frown grew on my face. I looked outside at the houses we passed. We still weren't out of the estate.I wanted to decorate his cheeks with my palm! He just had to take everything lightly!But I couldn't do that, what if he was a mafia? I still have no idea where his source of income is from. I had two guesses, either he was manipulating his boss to do this or he was probably in the mafia.Yes, that could be the only explanation. I threw a glance at him and his dominant eyes were staring back at me. My voice got stuck in my throat but I never broke away. He had to do it first, I couldn't surrender. His warm palms came to my face and my breath hitched.Look away! Isabella, wh
ISABELLAI stood stunned as the slap resonated around the house. For the first time in my life, my mother hit me.Damien tried to move forth but I stopped him. It was a reflex reaction. There had to be a reason for this slap. My mother would never slap me."I am sorry," She apologized with remorse across her face."I couldn't control myself, I'm terribly sorry," She apologized at the brink of tears.I moved towards her and wrapped my hands around her." I understand, it is okay, can we get in? Let's talk?" I requested and she nodded before she gave way.She threw a blank stare at Damien before she walked away. I didn't blame her for this reaction, if my child came to me with a strange man I would also slap her face.I watched from across the chair and I could feel Damien's stare beside me. I looked up at her. She looked beautiful in the yellow dress she had on. She let her grey and black hair fall over her shoulders."Mom, like I said earlier. This is my fiancee, Damien," I introduced
ISABELLAWhat was I supposed to do in such a huge house? I placed the neatly washed shirt on the table. I planned to personally give it to him when he came back."Sir insisted you ate before you decided to do anything and the doctor will soon be here," The head maid said."I see, I just want to get a view of the gardens, nothing much. Or perhaps did he restrict me from going in there?" I asked."You are free to go anywhere around the house," She said with her head down."Why are you looking down?" I asked and she didn't respond."I'm not some sort of god, you can look at me," I chuckled and she looked up at me.Her eyes were pale blue, and she had the most beautiful face I had ever seen."Good, Can I ask a question?""Yes, ma'am," She replied."What does Damien do for a living?" I asked and she shrugged."I'm in no position to tell you, I can only talk when my boss asks me to speak," She replied and I scoffed."The doctor is here," The Butler came in with a young man. I expected to se
ISABELLAI sat in the middle of the restaurant as I watched them leave. I tore the papers into pieces."Ma'am, the bill," The waiter came before me. I dropped a twenty bill before I rose from my chair.I had to get to work nevertheless.I walked out of the restaurant and to my surprise I saw a familiar car waiting.The car's window slid down and I saw Damien in the driver's seat. My jaw fell to the floor.Did he perhaps have a tracker on me? How did he know that I would be here?"Get in, let me drive you to work," He said and I obeyed immediately."How did you know I would be here?" I asked as we left the restaurant."Instinct perhaps?" He replied with a short glance."Do you know the address of the company?" I asked but he didn't give a reply.Did something happen? Did I do something bad?We arrived in front of the company, without any further conversations."Thanks," I muttered as I grabbed my bag.The man who I recognized as Billy stood at the entrance, he rushed to take my bag.
DAMIENI rested my hands on my face as I stared out the window. The door opened and Jackson walked in."What got you lost in thoughts?" He asked as he settled on the table beside me."She went to see her ex-boyfriend behind my back," I said as I looked up at him."Are they back or what? I thought he cheated. Man, I am so sorry," He placed his hands on my shoulders and I slapped it away."No, it means she still has something for him, and if he did get to rectify himself she would go back to him with hands open," I explained."I have some information on the guy by the way," He said as he placed a red file on the table.I scanned through it before I looked up at him."It is little, but it is something," He said.The door opened again and Mia walked in."I knew I would find the two of you here," She said."What are you guys talking about?" She asked as she sat on the desk.Jackson threw me a short glance before he stared at his sister."Girl issues," He said."Tell me, maybe I can be of h
