ISABELLAI stood outside the house in a white silk dress and a flat sandal. It was the perfect dress for shopping.The world knew it was my real wedding, so did my other best friend Willow. I told her about the Camila and Robert fallout situation.She said she was coming to town tomorrow, but we weren't going to be able to make it for the shopping. The sun was bright in the sky, but it was only there to illuminate the skies as the cold winds blew harshly on my skin.It had been more than quarter an hour since I stood here. Damien told me to wait outside.My legs were beginning to weaken and there was still no sign of that man."Sorry to keep you waiting," I heard his voice behind me and a frow found itself across my face.But I could not say anything, I just followed him instead."We are first heading for the wedding dresses," He said as I just nodded.He helped me into the car. The smell of his aftershave was strong in his car."Is Mia going to be there?" I asked, I wanted to be ar
DAMIENAfter what seemed like forever, she finally found the right pick but refused to show me. What was the point of me tagging along?Next we had to get her a dress for the party, a party that was tonight. And she was supposed to meet up with Robert tomorrow.This black one will be fine, I thought to myself as I watched her get out of the dressing room.The net dress hugged her body perfectly, showing us every curve she had. The sides of the dress were transparent but it still covered decently, with a matching diamond necklace and earrings set."What do you think?" She asked.Hot. Sexy. Gorgeous. An epitome of beauty."Beautiful," I said."So you think this is suitable for the party?" She asked again unsure as she studied herself."Yes, you look wonderful," I replied, not knowing how cold and unbothered I sounded."Okay, I will take this," She turned to the stylist."Where is your makeup artist?" I asked the woman."She is on the second floor in her office," Sh pointed."I need a ma
Isabella. 21.I hated it here already. It was not my scene of preference. I was surrounded by liars and pretenders who hid behind their expensive designer clothes and jewelries. My stomach sank as I caught a glimpse of Robert in deep conversation with Camila and clique.I walked to the delicately built booth where a perky lady was standing behind it."I am here to put my name in," I told her."It's you! Damien Morretti is your fiancé!" She said like she was a fan. "I hope you win," She said."Thank you," I said with a smile. I had no desire to win whatever this was. It felt weird when I wrote Mr. And Mrs. Morretti but I could not deny the butterflies fluttering in my stomach. It felt like high school all over again.After I was done, I set out to get the drinks for Damien and I but he was nowhere to be found. Odd. I glanced around only to notice that Robert was intensely looking at me.He looked so animated with his oiled slicked back hair. He stole glances
Damien 22.I felt naked without Isabella in my line of sight and I could tell something was going to happen if I was not beside her. She was in the midst of enemies. However, there were people that even I could not ignore and this vixen in a long black lacey flowing dress with fiery red hair was unfortunately one of them.She looked pretty much the same except for those sensual eyes she looked at me with. She was stunning and exotic and she knew. Men have ruined their lives trying to have her and some have died in despair because they could never satisfy her.A man that I knew personally had been driven to suicide due to the disturbing nature of her love. Here stood before me, the destroyer of men."You look like you've seen a ghost," She said to me, her scent overwhelmed me and memories of our past flashed through my mind.Her voice held a smoky timbre and her tongue drawled the words sensually. I took a long look at her before I replied. She belonged in my
Isabella 23.The Apollo Theatre was a famous location to hold any prestigious events. Stand up comedies, concerts and plays. We were seated very high up on the balcony like platform giving us the perfect view of the stage from up.The wailing song of the performers were loud and thin. It was almost unpleasant. I guess this was an hobby for the wealthy.I was not sure that the lady with red hair was just a business partner. She had been two close for comfort and all touchy and it roused my suspicion. I looked away from the stage and turned to the audience. They all sat there watching with rapt attention.Moments later, someone walked into the private booth and I saw that it was none other than the lady in black dress and red hair. She sat next to Damien and said nothing nor did she even give me a passing glance.In awkward silence the three of us sat and watched the opera. I tried to concentrate but I could not help thinking that I was intensely being watched.
Isabella 24Natalia St. Dumas just took my fiance from me and paraded with him in front of the celebrities and show business people. I on the other hand tried to control my emotions throughout so I would not do anything stupid and ruin the image of the company.That was how Natalia said it."Try not to let your emotions make you do something stupid, you are not the only woman in competition for him," She said as she stood and gave her right hand to Damien.I looked at him in disbelief as he reluctantly accepted her hands."Isabella, it's just a game, think nothing of it," Damien said as he got up from his seat."You rigged it," I told Natalia in matter of fact."Good girl, you are catching on," She said and together her and Damien left the VIP section.The only thing that made me feel slightly better was the fact that Natalia switched my name with hers. I knew that without her involvement I still stood a chance but I did not want to think about it. It was jus
Damien 25."Your ex can not seem to take a hint," I said to Isabella as we drove."Neither can yours," She challenged. It was true."It is funny how we have that in common," I told her.We were on the main road going back to the house and my foot had not left the gas. I was trying to get away from the party as far away as I could and Natalia if I could. I suspected that she was trailing us as I drove but she was not that crazy."Just so you know, I want to punch him in the throat," I told her.A small smile played on her face as soon I said it."Now imagine what I want to do to your business partner," She told me."You have nothing to worry about from Natalia, she has been that way since we were kids," I told her and then I cursed inwardly. She did not need to know that.Isabella fully turned to me with questions written on her face."You go way back with her?" She asked me with disbelief in her tone.I sighed."It is not what you think," I said to her, trying to figure out what to sa
Isabella 26My heart beat rapidly in terror as Damien sped through traffic overtaking vehicles and motorcycles. I had no idea who was chasing us but Damien's grim expression as he sped through the streets told me it was a serious situation.Of course he had enemies, what billionaire did not? If I had known he was a moving target, I would not have gotten involved with him."Who is following us?" I asked trying to keep my voice firm but failing."It could be anyone," He replied in a serious tone while he kept attentive focus on the road before him.Great!"Who wants you hurt?" I asked, not knowing if I could handle the answer."I am billionaire, Isabella! Take a wild guess," He snapped as he drove ahead."Hey! It is all your fault we are being followed! How many women with resentful boyfriends or husband have you pissed off?" I demanded from him.I glared desperately at the side mirror to see who was trying to kill us but there were so many vehicles behind us t
