Addicted To Her Lips Chapter 1
Isabella inhaled deeply, calling up the courage which she knew didn't exist, from deep within her. She knew she had to do this, for she had absolutely no power over this.Turning to look at the girl behind her, her friend, she said, "Let's go in."She placed her hand on the door knob and pushed it open as the person behind her also pushed her wheelchair inside the room. Her movement stopped when she got to the desk, and even with her head bowed slightly, Isabella knew that her friend had left her alone in the room, alone with her husband."Welcome home. I hope your drive was not stressful?"She snapped her head up when she heard that cold and gruff voice, and her eyes immediately came in contact with his face. His deep set, expressive blue eyes which were fixed on her, his frowning face with chiseled jawline, and his large muscled body which were moving towards her right now. With jaws slacked in surprise, Isabella wondered how a man could be this handsome."Miss Yates?" He sounded an

"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

Isabella was silent for a while, wondering if she had heard well."I asked you to read out the speech on that paper," Nicholas repeated, his expression hardening. His hands balled into fists where they were lying on the table, and that action did not miss Isabella's face. Was he about to beat her?"I...I don't. I can't read it," she stuttered, squirming uncomfortably in her seat."What do you mean you can't read it, Miss Yates? I do know you are your family's adored princess but now, you are married into the Yates family and you should at least cooperate and do whatever I ask you to. That is just the speech you will give to the press at our wedding banquet tomorrow, so you have to read it!"Isabella shivered at the angry tone of his voice. She could tell he was mocking her from his words, 'adored princess', as it was not possible that he did not know how irrelevant she was in her father's house."I really can't read it," she whispered again, trying to convince them.This time around,

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

Subconsciously, Isabella's hand went to press the button on the wheelchair which made her retreat away from the door. She had almost escaped from the living room when she heard her mother's voice."Isn't that my daughter? Isabella," the older woman called.Reluctantly and with shaking hands, Isabella had to press the button that would take her back to them."Welcome, Ma'am," she greeted, and was surprised when her mother laughed out loud. For as long as she could remember, there was only three people who had ever smiled genuinely to her in the Yates household."Ma'am? Isabella loves to joke a lot, doesn't she?" Hazel chuckled, directing her question at her husband who had an equally wide grin on his face."She does. She got married two days ago and decided to call you ma'am. Will you correct yourself, Isabella?" Though Lucas' voice was gentle, Isabella could sense the underlying warning in it.But she still didn't know what to address her mother as except 'ma'am', for that was what sh

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

Isabella stiffened on her seat, having noticed how Nicholas suddenly stopped eating.'Is the food bad? Does it not suit his taste buds? Oh, how will I escape the punishment this time around?!' she screamed inwardly, squirming uncomfortably on her chair. She was already imagining different techniques of punishment this man would employ, but his next words completely blanked out her thoughts."Ah...I see you didn't poison the food."Isabella was totally confused, but she kept quiet. Not like she could say anything anyways.The next three days passed like a blur, and Nicholas didn't even catch sight of Isabella for once. It was either he went to work too early or he came back from work too late, and he didn't even bother checking up on her. Why would he? She would not be elated to see him anyway.Presently, he was at his office the HY Corporation Headquarters."What's next on my schedule?" he asked out loud to David who was standing not very far from him."You have an hour free, Sir. But

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,
