A full week passed. For Seth, it was filled with waiting impatiently in torture. With each passing day, he woke up with the urge to see Isabella and slept with the disappointment of not seeing her. She completely stayed away from him. And it drove him mad. He just needed an audience, just one. Fuck, five minutes was all he needed to explain himself. To make her see the truth. But as each day rolled by, and his mother walked into his room with a downturned frown, Seth knew things had gotten way deeper than Kaitlyn's false pregnancy. That bitch had put him through a lot of shit and Seth was determined to make sure that she didn't do shit anymore. He would make sure she got punished by the law. For killing his baby without his consent, years ago. For having sex with him without his consent in San Francisco. For defamation of his name and Isabella's, Slander, and heck even Libel. She was going to spend the rest of her fucking miserable life atoning for her sins if he had a say in it.
CHAPTER 130The house was in perfect order and condition. There was a lot of hustling and bustling as her mother moved from one place to another with the twins hanging on her neck, blabbing things that no one could understand. Isabella felt a pang of guilt. She ought to help her mother and take the kids away but she was on a mission. Carrying either of the twins would slow her down and would appeal to the one part of her that wanted to stay. Instead of taking them off her mother's hands, she walked around the house trying to arrange them. She picked up the pillows in the room and propped them up against the sofas. She aligned the center table to the center. What are you doing? Her mind asked and she paused feeling awkward and tired with each passing moment. Scrubbing the entire house over and over for a week was finally taking its toll on her, but that was the least of her problems. Did she want to be there when Seth arrived? She had planned to leave earlier. She would make breakf
Isabella stood frozen as she watched everyone get down from the car. The look on Seth's face punched her in the gut and knocked the wind out of her. His eyes looked confused and scared. As if she was holding an ax to his head and he couldn't understand why. Oh, Seth, she thought inwardly. She would have loved to remain with him forever. To stay with him, enjoying his attention. Until... Until what? Until he had no use for her anymore? He was simply fascinated with her. Once he slaked his lust, he would move on to someone else. Someone certainly more pretty than she was. Someone like Kaitlyn. That spurred her on and she forced a smile onto her face and her gaze away from Seth. The look on everyone's faces as they approached almost made her laugh. Anna looked like she was fed up with her bull shit, Nate looked genuinely curious, as if he found her behavior oddly interesting. Isabella shook her head. If there was anyone odd, it was Nate, not her. And then there was B, who furiously mar
Come here, Bella. His words fell deep and sensual on her ears and several parts of her tingled. She shuddered and shook her head. Whatever it took, she had to resist Seth. She was bound to lose her mind if she ever stepped near him. That much was clear. He was standing meters away, yet she could feel his intense gaze, the trail of his eyes on her face as he waited patiently. How could any man look as sinfully hot as he did? He was just out of the damn hospital. If anything, he ought to be looking like a pile of globs. A little green on the face and sickly. But instead, the sunlight caught his blonde hair causing several cascades of shadows on it. A shadow fell over his face, highlighting his piercing green eyes that were filled with promises. Promises that involved no clothes at all. Promises she wanted him to fulfill.One of the twins let out a small cry of protest breaking through her ogling and she blushed in embarrassment. Everyone had just seen her stare at Seth thirstily, like
Isabella was mesmerized. Her tongue thickened in her mouth as she watched Seth stroke himself, his eyes closed and his head tossed back in pleasure. She wasn't sure she ought to be impressed or terrified by the audacity he possessed. The courage to do something so outrageous in front of her as if all were dandelions and roses. Her body tingled and she crossed her legs together trying to hide that she was getting turned on. Who wouldn't? Dammit, she wasn't made of wood. She had hormones running in her blood so of course she was getting turned on. Her thighs clenched and she rubbed her palms over her lap nervously. Wake him out of his fantasies, her mind urged. You can't just sit there while he jerks off! Oh but couldn't she? She mused, licking her lips as she watched him. It wasn't on purpose, she could swear it, but there was something about the way he stroked, something about the way his large hands wrapped around himself powerfully, something about the sounds that spilled from hi
CHAPTER 134Seth jumped off his bed at the sound of a baby crying. His nerves were shot, he was fucking tired, but one of the twins was bawling his or her face off in their mother's room and he had to see. He stomped down on the floor and paused to see he was naked. "Dammit," he sighed, rubbing his face. Wearing clothes was too much work and he had no energy. None at all. He was tired. And that was an understatement in itself. It had been a week since he was discharged from the hospital. Taking over his duties at the Allen and sons company was no easy task. He had been gone for a whole month! Half of his employees had started to think he would not make it out of the coma, and some had even resigned. Others thought looting the company was their way out. Fools.Seth chuckled darkly and reached for a robe instead. Pants be fucked, it was just a quick check anyways. All he wanted to do was sleep his eyes out. After making sure that every missing check down to the last dollar in his co
Sacramento. The city of trees. The city with the seventh largest world economy. A growing metropolitan. Home to over 500,000 folks. Or at least that was what google had told Isabella. And in a way, it wasn't wrong. Sacramento did have a lot of trees. The side view of her simple apartment was a testimony to that. Trees lined the other side of the road, looking absolutely beautiful. Every time she woke up, it was to the pretty green scenery, the soft rustling of leaves and the branches dancing to the gentle breeze. For a heartbroken soul like Isabella, it was healing and she was glad she had paid for the place. It was secluded. It was beautiful. And it was far away from Seth. What more could she ask for? Isabella sighed and left the window where she stood, staring at the trees. And her potted vegetables. It was her second week in Sacramento and while things hadn't been easy, especially when it came to settling down with the little money she had left, she didn't think it was a total
"Isabella," Seth shouted, jolting awake from his sleep. He felt the other side of the bed with his hand but it was empty just like the day before. It has been two days since Isabella decided to leave abruptly. He fell asleep last night thinking about her and dreamt about how she came back running into his arms and kissing him passionately. "Has she come back? Where is she?" Different questions kept running through his mind as he jumped out of bed. He put on his robe quickly and went straight to Isabella's room. It was stupid, he knew, but damn him if he still didnt cling to the hope that she was back. Opening the door, he pictured her sitting pretty on the now empty bed breastfeeding one of the twins while the other one cried. He remembered when they would bathe the children, feed them and sing lullabies together. "All that is gone now." He said shutting the door. "I need to clear my fucking head." Seth headed downstairs to the kitchen to make himself a strong cup of coffee. Cogn
