Addicted To Her Lips Chapter 9
An angelic smile on her face, Isabella bowed slightly to welcome the doctor who had come to examine her in Nicholas' room. When she woke up this morning, her wheelchair was already beside the bed and she had wasted no time in getting ready. She wore the clothes which were placed on the bed.The clothes were a bit too extravagant for her, and she had wondered if Nicholas would ask her to pay for this if she damaged it. "Mrs Hunt, why would you bow to greet me? You almost made me feel like a king there," Isabella heard the doctor laugh, and she smiled back awkwardly. Why was he treating her so informally?"I am Joseph Franc, Nicholas' private doctor and now yours. How are you feeling today?"Isabella stayed silent, staring at the man like he had grown horns on his head until he realized where he went wrong."Oh! I'm sorry, Isabella. Slipped my mind so quickly and uhm...let's get back to work. Try to call out Nicholas, and let's see what happens. Raise your thumb if you feel air pass thr

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

Nicholas threw a glance at the watch on his wrist for the umpteenth time in two hours, his eyes straying to the door of his study. Was she not supposed to be here by this time?"You are off again, Boss. What are you thinking of?"A voice snapped him out of his thoughts and he looked up at the laptop in front of him, where he was on a conference call with his subordinates."Mind your business, Stanley. When do we leave tomorrow?" he asked, oblivious to the way the mouths of those on the conference call with him, dropped to the ground in surprise.They knew their Boss and how angry he usually was if someone dared to interrupt their meeting for whatsoever reason but now, he was letting Stanley go like that. With just a 'mind your business'."I just asked a question. When do we leave tomorrow?" Nicholas repeated, his voice assuming an icy and impatient tone."Dawn, Sir! Around 5 am," one of them replied.Immediately he heard that, Nicholas pressed the button to end the call and rose to hi

Nicholas was fuming as he walked up the stairs, his brain shifting from one thought to another. All of them based on Isabella and her smile just now."She has never even looked straight in my eyes for more than two seconds and there she is, laughing just because she is with Joseph," he muttered under his breath.He ignored the greetings of two maids who walked past him as he was already lost in thoughts. He could admit that she was beautiful with that smile on her face but still, he was feeling horrible that he didn't put the smile there.Nothing he did for her since she arrived had put a smile on her face and she only seemed to be more and more discontented as time went by. He pushed the door open to his room and walked straight into the bathroom; a cold bath might cool his head."And if she walks in while I'm taking my bath, then the night would only be more beautiful," he smirked mischievously.Few minutes later, he walked out of the bathroom with his wet dark hair falling all over

With the help of the new wheelchair which was gotten for her, Isabella almost felt like she could walk. She was able to do numerous things which she previously found hard, or which she needed Angela's help for. Just like now, she was able to get herself on the bed by herself.She peeled off the towel wrapped around her body and picked up the nightdress she picked out earlier, when she found out something was wrong with it.This nightdress was black and the color was part of the qualities which made her pick it. She had chosen it thinking that her body would be completely obscure but now that she looked at it, she found out it was a netty material which would show off her body if she wore it."Why does this have holes? I should sew it tomorrow, if it's possible to block all of it," she murmured, ignorant of the fact that the dress was designed that way.Now that she could not wear the black nightdress again, she knew she had to pick another dress. Sighing in frustration, she retired her

Nicholas felt the towel drop from his hand at that beautiful voice. Yes, the sound was so deeply engraved in his mind that he would recognize it any day and anytime but not now. Isabella was not supposed to be speaking, right? And...she just called his name.On the other hand, Isabella was scared. Her happiness at the fact that she could now speak was overcame by the fear that she felt, when she realized that she just yelled Nicholas' name. She was well aware that she was supposed to address him formally, as a slave, albeit private, to her master."You called my name?" Nicholas asked gently, staring straight into her brown eyes."I...uhm, i—""Stop stuttering, Ella. Call my name again," he ordered.Isabella was surprised. Was this a trap or just a simple command? Anyways, she wanted to hear her own voice more so she complied."Ni...cholas. Nicholas," she repeated.Nathaniel nodded, a small smile tugging at the side of his mouth. He straightened himself and stood up straight as if to ge

Joseph's mouth fell wide open from the scene in front of him and as much as he tried to stop himself, he failed, causing that exclamation of surprise to fall out of his lips."OMG!"Hearing that strangely disturbing voice, Nicholas reluctantly pulled away from the kiss in a bid not to embarrass Isabella, but he could not do so as her hands were gripping his collar tightly, stopping him from moving any further from her.A weird happiness sparked up in his heart and he restarted the kiss, using one free hand to wave Joseph away from the room. The latter saw the sign and bolted out of the room immediately without needing a second command. He regretted coming here with such speed that had made him push the door open without knocking first. However, the more he thought about it, the more he realized he was not at fault. He received a call from Isabella which was disconnected almost immediately and his worried self had thought she called him because something was wrong with her. Who knew he

Isabella woke up to the sound of her phone ringing, the next morning. With barely opened eyes, she reached for the phone and picked the call."Hello?" she said politely, thinking it was Joseph who was calling her. Angela would not call her that early, she presumed."Isabella! You have to get up and come downstairs right now. Will you need my help to get ready?!"At the sudden order from her friend, Isabella's eyes flew open. Slowly, she rose to sit up on the bed as the drowsiness had disappeared from her eyes."What's wrong? Did you offend someone or break something?" she asked. There was no other reason she could think of that would make her friend speak to her with such urgency and fear in her voice. Though she was still finding it hard to get used to it, her life here was much easier than it was at the Yates estate and she was not required to wake up this early."Angela?" Isabella called again, as her friend suddenly went silent on the other side."Bella, your parents are here. The
