Isabelle's POV

“Get in”.

I took a few steps back unconsciously instead. A deep frown etched between my brows.

“Ryan. What are you doing here?”

He remained unmoved, tapping his tongue against his inner cheek. A gesture that shows he was trying so hard to keep his pride in check while trying to persuade me at the same time.

As I turned to leave, he spoke behind me.

“Playing hard to get won't work. Where do you think you're going? Pregnant and walking on the street?”

“It's none of your business”.

  • A match for the tycoon    Chapter 6: A threat for custody

    Isabelle's POV “Get in”.I took a few steps back unconsciously instead. A deep frown etched between my brows.“Ryan. What are you doing here?”He remained unmoved, tapping his tongue against his inner cheek. A gesture that shows he was trying so hard to keep his pride in check while trying to persuade me at the same time.As I turned to leave, he spoke behind me.“Playing hard to get won't work. Where do you think you're going? Pregnant and walking on the street?”“It's none of your business”. “So you plan on walking through the rain?”That was when I looked up. The once bright sky was now covered in a gray hue.I couldn't bear to catch a cold. Not with my baby.I went back and hopped into the car.The scent of cedarwood filled the space. The one I used to love most, that clings to him. Sometimes, I even snuggled closer to get a better sniff. Whining about how good he smells.But now, it was nauseating. Making bile rise in my throat. I just want to reach my stop and get down.The r

  • A match for the tycoon    Chapter 5: The wrong father

    Isabelle's POV When I opened my eyes again, I was lying flat on a bed, staring straight up at the white ceiling of the hospital.The sharp smell of antiseptic hit me immediately, making me wrinkle my nose.I pushed myself up slowly, my body weak.I felt so dizzy. My head throbbing with a dull pain.The door was pushed open almost immediately.Donavin walked in, calm like a man that owned the space.“Miss Hart”. He said my name in a low voice that carried a dangerous edge I couldn't quite point out.“Mr Prescott”. I lowered my gaze. Just then, the doctor came in. “You're awake”. She came closer, checking my vitals and body temperature. “You should be more careful next time. Your body isn't that strong to handle emotional stress. Thank goodness your baby wasn't affected”.“Thank you”. I replied sincerely.“Make sure to rest well. And try to give yourself some space”.After laying down several instructions, she scribbled down words on her note and walked out.The room went back to it

  • A match for the tycoon    Chapter 4: Please... Don't fire me

    Isabelle’s POV The sun had risen high when I woke up the next morning.I squinted, grabbing my phone from the nightstand.My eyes widened as I checked the time.I had slept far longer than I intended.“Damn it.” I sat up quickly.I almost forgot. Today was supposed to be my first day back at the clinic after my days off.I had been working as a dental assistant for almost two years.I took a few days off last week because I hadn't been feeling well. I never imagined I'd return to work carrying a pregnancy I hadn't even known about until yesterday.It wasn't the kind of job I expected when I was younger, but I was good at it. To the point where I began to find it interesting.I jumped out of the bed and sprinted towards the bathroom.After everything that happened yesterday, I wasn't sure how I was supposed to walk back into that clinic and pretend my life hadn't fallen apart.By the time I came out, Chloe was already in the kitchen.I flipped my hair into a messy bun. Shoved a toast

  • A match for the tycoon    Chapter 3: He doesn't trust you enough to let you walk away

    Isabelle's POV “What are you doing here? Couldn't wait to see me?” Chloe looked surprised seeing me standing at her door. “Can I come in first?” I asked. Noticing my down casted expression and the hoarseness of my voice, she frowned. She understood me better than anyone did. She noticed the suitcase behind me. “Isabelle. What happened?” She gave way. Taking the suitcase behind me as I walked into the apartment. “Did you and Ryan have a fight? He should have at least let you stay through through the night. Didn't he know you're pregnant?” “He does. And he didn't chase me out. I left on my own”. “What is the matter? Tell me”. “I want to divorce him”. “Why? You two were doing just fine”. A bitter laugh escaped my lips. “I thought we used to be. Until I found out he was screwing his best friend”. “You mean…”. “Yes. Evan”. Her mouth parted but she couldn't say anything. I told her everything. Down to how he had tried to shut me up with money and wanted me to keep pre

  • A match for the tycoon    Chapter 2: What shattered everything

    “Damn it!” Evan scrambled away. Searching for clothes that were never there.Surprise flickered in Ryan's eyes but when he stepped down, his face was back to that cold, familiar indifference.“You're home”. He ran his fingers through his hair. He was standing stark naked in front of me. Calm as if what I just witnessed was my own imagination.Noticing my gaze, he gave a long sigh. “Isabelle, come in. Don't make a scene”.He reached for my hand but I yanked it away. “Get your filthy hand off me!” My voice shook.“Ryan. How long has this been going on?”“Isabelle”. Evan, fully dressed now, came forward.“Shut up. I didn't ask you”. Tears ran down my cheeks.“Answer me, Ryan. How long has this been going on”.“Five years”. His voice came out small.I stumbled. I've known Ryan for four years.One year of dating, three years of marriage.And before he even met me, he had been screwing his best friend behind my back.And I never noticed or suspected anything. Because I didn't know I was s

  • A match for the tycoon    Chapter 1: Congratulations. Mrs Walker

    Isabelle's POV“Congratulations, Mrs Walker. You're four weeks pregnant”. The nurse stretched out a paper to me. The corners of her lips rising into a warm smile.Pregnant. The word echoed in my ears until my eyes filled with tears. The clear writing on the paper before me turned into a blurry mess of ink.“Are you…sure?” My fingers trembled.I needed to hear it again.I needed to be convinced that I wasn't dreaming.“Yes”. She chuckled.“The blood test confirmed it. The IVF was successful”.I closed my eyes, letting tears run freely down my cheeks.I had imagined hearing those words so many times that I'd lost count of it. But now that they were actually being said, I couldn't seem to find my words.“Thank you”. My fingers trembled as I took it from her. “You're welcome. But I want to remind you to not be careless. You're still at an early stage. So the pregnancy is not stable yet. Added to your condition, your body is at risk”.“Yes. I understand perfectly”. I nodded.“Your husband
