Addicted To Her Lips

"What's the matter, Princess?" Lucas turned to her and asked, the earlier smile on his face now transformed into a frown."I...I didn't know that I was leaving tonight. Don't I need to pack? Also...""Hazel," Lucas called, cutting his daughter off.Hazel nodded in understanding and pushed Isabella away from there, stopping her from asking any more stupid questions. When they were a little distance away from the living room, she stopped and went to stand before Isabella."What are you trying to do by asking that stupid question over there? Shouldn't you know that you are supposed to pack? You don't think Mr. Hunt would waste his money buying dresses for someone like you, right?"Isabella was silent, not able to find any words to refute her mother's claim. In fact, she could not dare to do it as the scars on her body were not healed yet."Okay then. You should start packing now, I'll send Angela over to help you. Mr Hunt's driver is waiting outside already."And she was gone. Isabella h

Nicholas' eyes searched the desk in his study, as he looked for his ear pods which he had placed here the previous evening. He knew none of the maids would dare to steal something so dear to him, or even take it away from the table since they all knew what it meant to him."David," he called his assistant who was standing just a few metres behind him."Yes, Mr Hunt.""Ask Marcus to compile the list of maids and butlers who got in here since yesterday morning. I need all of them in the next one hour," he ordered."Yes Sir," David replied. Still standing in that same spot, he sent a message to the butler before assuming his normal posture.Nicholas' gaze swept around the room one last time, the frown on his face deepening."What is Isabella doing?" he asked."Mrs Hunt has been in her room since yesterday morning, together with her friend, after the latter was caught trying to leave the mansion," David reported, his voice sounding like that of a robot. "They wanted to escape?""It does

Her hands flew straight to her neck, and she massaged the flesh there thoroughly, before trying to talk again. But her efforts were all null, as no words still came out of her mouth. She turned to Angela, sending her distress signal with her eyes, even though she knew there was nothing her friend could do about it."It's alright, Angela. She will be alright after a few days as long as you take care of her well, which I am not sure you will be able to do. Since you are currently living with the most heartless man in history," Lucas taunted, his tone heavily laced with sarcasm. He turned to Alicia and Hazel and smiled at them,"Let's go stand at the front. We should be positioned in the best place to support our daughter."And with that, the trio walked away, but not before Alicia threw an apologetic glance at her sister.Isabella watched them leave, and her eyes glistened with unshed tears at the injustice she was suffering. As much as she wanted to accept the fact that her parents di

Nicholas looked from Isabella to Angela and back to Isabella, wondering what was going on with this two friends."Isabella cannot answer me because she can't talk?" he asked, his tone laced with mockery."Yes, Mr Hunt. It happened on the day of the wedding banquet and that was why Miss Alicia had to step in for Isabella," Angela explained. She knew she was taking chances with informing Nicholas about this, but she had no choice but to use pity as a shield for her and Isabella. Nicholas might be a terrifying man but at least, he should have a soft heart when he sees someone extremely pitiful, right?Nicholas' eyes hardened and a series of emotions fleeted past his eyes, as he closed the distance between himself and Isabella."Is it true?" he asked, his voice not the least bit gentle.Isabella knew she had no choice but to agree, unless she wanted Angela to be punished, so she nodded. What happened next was what she never expected.Nicholas turned around and hit the wall with his fist,

Was she getting divorced right on the very next week she married her husband? Or did he find out about her numerous disabilities and decide to divorce her?! She had to stop that from happening.As she wheeled herself around to continue looking for Angela whom she would be able to share this latest problem with, she heard a voice which made her stiffen from behind."And where are you going?"Isabella didn't turn, and it didn't take Nicholas long either to walk over to stand in front of her. She pointed in the direction of her room to tell him where she was going, and it surprised her when a thin smile bloomed on his usually stoic face."That's great. I was actually heading there too, dear wife. Don't you think we should go together?"Dear wife? Why was he calling her dear wife when he would be leaving soon?Before Isabella could think much about it, her eyes strayed out of the window and caught Angela walking around on the paved pathway outside.She forgot her her fears for a moment an
