My eyes open wide and I take my arms off him and scramble out of bed with my heart pounding hard in my chest.What the hell!When did I put my hands on his body? I ask no one in particular as my eyes glance around the room to see that the light wasn't off.Why didn't he turn off the light before sleeping?Slowly, I drag my silly self to the sofa with my two hands on my cheeks. I drop to the sectional sofa and my butt hits something. I shoot to my feet to grab whatever it is and my eyes fall on the book I am supposed to hide from Jayden.A loud gasp escapes my mouth as fear begins to consume my whole existence. This book has been on this sofa all through yesterday and I am wondering if Jayden had seen it or not.How can I forget something like this? If he sees the book, then he will get to know that I am invading his privacy by going to his personal office and going through his thing

I have an out-of-office meeting in an hour and I am preparing my files for the meeting.Caroline isn't one to call the office because she knows how busy I can be. I used to spend my night in the office sometimes, especially after Helena's death. I didn't see the need to go home because there was no one to welcome me back home. But I am married now and questioning brows will be raised if I spend the night in the office again.Caroline knows all about this. She was here in New York when Helena died and she understands my busy schedule. I just wonder why she is here instead of coming over to the house later tonight."Should I let her in?"

Isabella's POV Determined to give Jayden's friend and his wife a good impression of myself and to make sure that they believe that we are in love, I step out of my room in a single piece velvet short gown with long sleeves and an ankle strap heels. My hair is packed in a low loose bun as usual and I have a nude lip gloss on my lips with little makeup on my face. I don't want to overdo it. I am the billionaire's wife and I need to look like one just like Jayden had mentioned to me when he came home to inform me that his best friend, Gabriel and his wife, Sabrina would be coming over for dinner. I know Gabriel who usually frequents the office and I have only seen his wife once and that was at our wedding day. I am a bit anxious. Jayden had gone down for more than 10 minutes and I am sure they would be waiting for me so we could eat dinner. I take the staircase down to hear the laughter of Gabriel. He has a really loud voice and I know that voice doesn't belong to my husband. I

Jayden's POV After making sure that the clown I call friend is gone with his silly wife, I turn back inside, ignoring the stab of anger in me. How the hell did I become friends with Gabriel? Why can't he always be serious? Where the hell did he meet his wife who matches his exact type of craziness? I expel a deep sigh and walk inside. I shouldn't have let them come. Isabella was embarrassed and I was too. She is only doing her job by saying all those things but I was a bit angry at her for not reading through the lines. She played dumb. Just like she used to do when she was my Assistant. Just before I get to the staircase, my phone beeps but I ignore it, thinking it is Gabriel. When it beeps for the second time, I dip my hand into my pants to bring the phone out as I take the staircase up. Alejandro's name pops across the screen and I wonder why he is texting by this time of the night. I have an appointment with him tomorrow morning and he might be texting regarding that. I tap

Isabella's POVChecking out myself in front of the mirror, my mind begins to drift back to what Sabrina said about how she failed to get Jayden interested in her friend for the marriage contract.I wish I could see what the woman looks like so I can compare myself to her. For me to see her, I need to become friends with Sabrina and I doubt if that is possible. I don't like people who talk too much and Sabrina seems like one. Additionally, she acts weird just like her husband.I wonder what type of girls Jayden loves going out with. The class of girls is known as I told myself the other day. People like him go out with successful women or billionaire daughters; women who have something to invest in his businesses and not dumb-ass broke girls like me.Sabrina seems like a working-class lady and I'm sure her friend must also be a working-class woman, why didn't he accept her?
