A YEAR WITH THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 61
Jayden's POV I finish up our discussion in a hurry with my heart racing practically in my ribcage. My mind was on Isabella and what she would do if Sabrina doesn't pay much attention to her. I remembered that Gabriel would be out with me tonight because Sabrina was also going out with her female friends and she might not have time to entertain Isabella. When we got to Gabriel's home to meet Isabella and Sabrina's absence, fear sprang up in my heart and I began to pace the courtyard, dialing my home phone to give Sandra a call while Gabriel also called his wife. Sandra told me Isabella wasn't home but Gabriel's wife said she was with her. That was when I breathed a sigh of relief but I wasn't still assured until they arrived. The moment the driver gears the car inside the courtyard, I take a long stride toward them while Gabriel follows me behind. I haven't been giving him attention. My mind and thoughts have been all over the place. I have been thinking of what I would do if she

Isabella's POVGrandma wraps her hands around me in a tight, warm hug that forces me to push back the emotions sweeping through me.It's been a while since I last visited and I miss her so much. She doesn't visit me at all and I understand that she is trying to give me the privacy that I need and deserve as a married woman.I came to see her and how she is coping with her new maid who she likes talking about over the phone and also to inform her of my upcoming trip to Italy in five days.I am so excited about it and I wish we could go on this trip together. But I know that won't be possible because I can't afford it and I can't bring myself to ask Jayden to do this as a favor.I can't ask him for anything that has to do with money. Even if I want to summon up the courage to do that, the fact that I actually got paid before venturing into the business I have with him and his mother's claim that I am in this marriage for the monetary benefits won't allow me.I have my pride as a woman.

Isabella's POV I burst into the room without knocking to see Jayden pacing the room with a phone glued to his ears and his mouth moving. I stand by the door for a while but when he hoists his head to look at me, I venture inside. "Yes, I will give you a call later today", he says while I walk past him to drop my bag and find somewhere to sit till he is done and we can talk about the news. How the hell can someone tell the press that we are not real couples? Who the hell would that be? I'm still finding it very hard to believe because Jayden and I are really doing a great job at making things look real between us. No one would have thought we aren't real unless of course his mother who is still having doubts about me being a gold digger. Perhaps, she is responsible. Maybe this is another tactic of hers to have me gone forever from her son's life. "Do you have any idea who did this?" Jayden's voice jerks me out of my reverie and when I look up, he is wagging a newspaper in front o

Jayden's POVThis is the best solution. Not the ridiculous idea of meeting up with Juliet and confronting her about the newspaper headlines.That won't do anything. The deed has been done and the only way to rectify this is to accept the invitation to the business dinner party which I rejected last week because Isabella would be going to Verona two days after.I just need to make an appearance there to rule out the rumor about us being in a contractual marriage.Isabella also likes the idea but she wanted to confront Juliet and we argued back and forth about that before she agreed not to go.That will only cause a scene. What she has done is enough. It might actually ruin the idea of getting divorced after a year but I won't let that bother me. I don't let people's disreputable talks about me get to me, I see no reason why now should be the beginning of letting their talks get to me.After a year, we are getting separated and that is final. I don't care if they get to relate it to th

Isabella's POVFinding my way to the restroom, I heave a deep sigh of relief for escaping that man's piercing eyes which seemed to be searching for answers.I don't feel like using the restroom. I just used that as an excuse to escape and get my emotions together.I am as nervous as hell and it is damn surprising. I thought I had this all in control and I am gradually getting over my nervousness about being Jayden's wife in public.I was also nervous when we had dinner with Alejandro but the moment we began to talk, it disappeared. But this man's question were making more scared that I would say something stupid which will blow the cover.I don't even know who he is to Jayden but they seem pretty close.I squat and facepalm myself, exhaling and inhaling deeply to calm my nerves.If I was to choose, I would have chosen to spend the night in our room reading a book instead of being out here where it feels like everyone has their eyes on me.It is fucking crazy.I just had to do this bec

Italy, VERONA CITYIsabella's POVAlejandro was there to welcome me immediately after I deplaned and got my suitcase.He was there with two hefty bodyguards who don't speak English at all but have sunshades on to hide their eye colors.He was holding a crafted paper that had my name on it. The moment I saw the name, my heart swells with joy.He was grinning from ear to ear and it is obvious that he is extremely glad that I stuck to my promise. I am also happy to be finally here.I didn't bother to ask Jayden to come with me anymore because I know he is busy and since he rejected the offer the other day I asked if we could go together.I hope to enjoy my stay here, even though I miss home already.Alexandro pulls me into a tight hug while his men take my suitcase."La moglie del mio amico è qu", he mutters before releasing me while I pout."What does that word mean?"

Isabella's POVAfter putting on a logo bodycon dress, Alejandro's driver got me and we drove to the villa with my heart thumping wild in excitement.We couldn't visit the villa yesterday because Alejandro said so. He only took me around the surrounding areas for sightseeing and in just one day, I have seen a lot. But it wasn't enough.I have been awake since the break of dawn in anticipation of today's tour. Alejandro said it would be best to visit the villa in the morning or late afternoon which is why he asked me to go back to my hotel yesterday.We get there within minutes of driving and the driver opens the car door for me. I jump down, wondering where Alejandro is when he appears from nowhere with a big wide grin on his face."Il Mio Amore", he spread his arm out and I hug him, paying a deaf ear to the way he called me his love.When I release myself from the hug, I know I should have rolled my eyes at him instead.Before I can say anything, he grabs my hand.

It's been a week already and I won't deny that I miss her.The thought of coming back from work every day for the past 7 days now to meet the absence of someone I have already gotten used to makes me miss her more.It has always been like an inconvenience having her around in my room, when I am eating, sleeping, or bathing but now I don't even care about going to the bathroom with a towel tightly wrapped around me.I haven't called her. All I did on the day she arrived was to text her.I waited impatiently for her reply which came very late in the night but I still couldn't bring myself to call her.Instead, I called Alejandro who attacked me for not coming along with my bride.
