I enter into my apartment and find a sleeping Ian on the couch. Looks like he was waiting for me. I roll my eyes and get into the bathroom after taking fresh clothes and strip off my dress.
"Bella? Baby, you in there?" I roll my eyes immediately getting irritated with Ian. Of course I am in here in the shower. I decide to assume him. I'm not ready to deal with his crap now. Twenty minutes later I am done and I go to the kitchen. I move straight to the fridge looking for something to eat when I only see a few eggs. 'Looks like I have to do some grocery shopping.' I sigh.
I feel Ian pressing his chest to my back and try to kiss me but I push him away. I loved when he did that but now I can't stomach it. I turn to him. "Thought you were supposed to be gone. I can't stand your sight now. Makes me sick." I sneer at him. I loved Ian and however much I tried I couldn't get the picture out of my head.
"I was worried about y-" I scoff. "Worried? You were worried about me? Joke of the year people." I knew I was being a bit of a drama queen but that was what he claims I am. And that was what I am going to show him. I raise my hands as if talking to a crowd as I rotate.
Ian lets out an annoyed sigh. "I'm being serious here Bella. Where were you?" He is getting annoyed? Good. He deserves it anyway. I move towards him slowly looking into his eyes and smirk. I move to his ears in a slow dramatic effect making his breath hitch, Ian knows I am shy about seduction and sex but I feel so courageous now. Could it be because I'm not a virgin anymore? Or maybe I'm just sick of his games.
"I went to the same club, got drunk and had myself fucked that I forgot about you. You know the best part?" I stop to raise his anxiety. When he doesn't move I lean further into him.
"I so fucking enjoyed it." I say almost in a whisper. I move away from him and turn without looking at him. Swaying my hips exaggeratedly not bothering about him. I am so done with him. I decide to move out instead but first I have to look for a new place and I have a job interview in a month. My stomach growls reminding me I have yet to feed it.
I go into the shared bedroom and take my purse but before I am done putting on my vans the bedroom door closes with a bang.
I roll my eyes at how Ian is being childish without looking back. I feel my body being yanked and thrown across the room like literally. My head hits the bed and I am so sure I could get a concussion. I blink back the tears that are threatening to come out out of instinct. The pain is unbearable.
Ian moves in front of me and crouches to my level. "Such a pretty face." He coos stroking the side of my face. I feel repelled against him. "Too bad no one's gonna see it again." Oh God! I always attract the psychos! First my dad, then this?
I remain still since I don't know what his next move is. My dad used to beat up my mom and I until my mother decided to give up and ran away leaving me alone to deal with her crazy husband. She died later on after she overdosed. I learnt some self-defence when he was jailed and I had to go to foster care since I was still under age.
Ian has some muscles which I like but the man is a lazy toad. I even wondered how he got the muscles in the first place but I learnt it was in the genes since his dad to looked so muscled up. Only that he is hardworking.
He takes out a knife from his back pocket making my body still. He notices my reaction and his face lights up with a sardonic smile. He starts toying with the knife moving it from my face down to my throat and back.
"Ian? W-What are you doing baby?" He lets out a small laugh that has me chilled to the bones.
"You know what I liked about you Bella? You were this vixen with a sexy body and pretty face but so damn innocent. When I figured you were a virgin, I was a goner." His filthy hands start trailing down my body. "I knew I had to break you. I had to persevere your smart mouth and dramas each and every day. I tried having sex with you but each fucking time you refused. So I bid my time."
My heart is beating so fast that I am afraid it will come out. Easy there heart. I need you.
"Yesterday when I came back and found you with those two women, I was so hurt Ian. You cheated on me with two women at the same time Ian." I feel tears sting my eyes but I refuse to show him any weakness. "I was willing to give myself to you yesterday." My voice is so low that I almost think he didn't hear what I just said.
"But you went and fucked another man. I'll just make this quick." He takes the knife that is right beside my head so fast and starts tearing my skin with it. I push him with so much force that he moves and falls since it was unexpected. I get to my feet swiftly and kick his nose making him fall once again with a grunt.
I kneel before him and punch him in the face knocking him out. I take the knife and run to the cabinet that had some unused rope taking it out and running back to the room. I tie Ian up and place a wash cloth in his mouth. I search for my phone but I don't get it and so I run to Mr. Brown's house and knock so hard and desperately.
After forever, he comes out looking like he was just from sleeping and takes in my dishevelled state. " Can I have your phone Mr. Brown. I lost mine."He hesitates for a second before moving into the house quickly. I follow him in and grab it from his hand before calling the police.
"What did you say his name was again Miss?" I am getting impatient. Ian might wake up soon and untie the ropes. "Ian. Ian Harris."
"Ian Harris? We've been looking for him for two years now. Thank you Ms. Isabella. Some men are already sent your way and will be there in five minutes."
Ian? Ian is a criminal? Oh, My God! I place the phone on the counter muttering quick thanks and sprinting to my house then going straight to my room. Ian is just regaining his consciousness.
"The police are coming. What did you do to make them look for you?" His eyes are so wide that they would fall off any minute.
"YOU BITCH!" He shouts before I hear the sirens and thank the heavens.
As expected no answer comes from him and I sit there waiting. The bell rings two minutes later and I stand up and go get it. I lead the police men to him.
"You will regret this Bella." The exact sentence my father said to me. I roll my eyes and I wave at him goodbye.
I go back i nto my apartment after giving my statement and cry.
I enter King's company while my heart is beating so fast. I have an interview in twenty minutes and to say I'm nervous would be an understatement. I will my legs to the receptionist who I expect to be the cliché type but instead find a beautiful lady with so minimal makeup and dress pants typing. My kind of girl. She looks up when she feels my presence and casts a smile that I know is practiced."Umm. Hi, I came for the human resource position interview." I try smiling at her politely. Her eyes light up in recognition."Isabella Styles, isn't it?" My face must be showing confusion. "Oh! There only two of you and the other one just came in." That explains it."Thought I was some celebrity there." I laugh at my humour and the lady joins me. I look at her name tag. Emily. "Well you're not." Emily says in matter of fact with a slight humour. I only grin at her."Hope you ge
I go straight to my shitty apartment. “You’ll be mine Isabella Styles.” His voice is now haunting me! Why would he want someone like me? I change into a large t-shirt and some yellow sweats.‘I really need a job.’ I tell myself as I think of what to eat. I make some spaghetti with lots of cheese. Looks like I’m going for cheese then. Since I know I wouldn’t cook again till the next day I decide to make lots so that I would just heat it up later. That’s pretty much how I always survive. I suddenly feel some pain in my lower abdomen but I ignore it. Maybe it is just my periods. They have been a week late after all.I eat my food and decide to go buy some pads. It’s always good to be prepared after all. I put my hair in a messy ponytail and take my beaded Masai sandals that my best friend Harry got me on one of his travels to Africa. He is a photographer who travels everywhere. I
Five fucking weeks pregnant? How? I’ve only been with one man.Sydney Kings.But he used condoms. Or not? Oh! My! Fucking! Gosh! How could I have been so careless? Now I have a baby inside of me? I touch my belly but I remember the bleeding.“I was bleeding. What happened? Is it safe?” My heart is pounding so fast that I have to breathe in deeply.“I’m sorry Ms Styles but you encountered a condition called ‘Vanishing Twin Syndrome.’ You had twins but you had a miscarriage and only one of them survived.” My heartbeat picks up again and I feel some pain in my chest. I am already a bad mother in a month into pregnancy.I feel a tear drop to my cheeks but I wipe it so fast. My life is prone to disasters and I am used to it. Maybe I’m just a sucker for pain.I might be ‘the tigress’ but
I am still and numb. Jason had already left but I can't move. My life had taken a very big turn.Just a month ago I found my ex cheating on me with two big boobed whores. A month ago I decided to go to a club and ended up losing my virginity. A month later I find out Im pregnant. IM PREGNANT. A pregnancy that is unknown to the dad. A pregnancy that I already lost a baby. And now I find out I was kidnapped and my birth mother is unstable?I decide to look for something to eat before I go to sleep. I make some chicken sandwich and some chocolate milk. I place my food on the island and take out my phone. I need a job now more than ever. I notice the same job that I was interviewed for is still open but I skip it. I cant work for the man responsible for my pregnancy.I find another vacant place for personal assistant for the CEO of C and S Company. I know being a PA could be tedious but I could still apply. But Im sur
The interview in the C and S company was uneventful apart from the glares from different women that wanted the same position. I get into my apartment and go straight to the kitchen. I was starving. I decide to make some pasta amd some grilled chicken. I'm used to the quiet life. Always alone. No friends. But for once I feel so lonely. Instinctively, I place my palm on my stomach and smile. Maybe I really need my baby. A thought of Sydney passes through my mind. I know he would be discharged two days. It is written on the papers with his face everywhere. I feel so compelled to go see him and me being me, I took my purse and left for the hospital. Once I came out from the cab I start questioning myself. I always did things without thinking about the endings. I was sort of the 'actions now consequences later' type of girl. I had to live like this to survive. 'Look where that led you now. You're preg
I find Harry making some coffee and a glass of chocolate milk and pancakes on the side. It's been twelve days since we moved to this apartment that Harry bought since he wanted a break from traveling. Two weeks since I went to the hospital and a week since I got the job. I eat my breakfast so fast and rinse the dishes after Harry is done with his too and place them in the dish washer.Since I told Harry about my pregnancy, he has been a mother hen and so overprotective. He even drops me to work and picks me up. Most coworkers think that he's my boyfriend and we made no attempt to correct it. Maybe we just don't care to do it.We arrive the C and S Company building fifteen minutes later and as always Harry takes me to the building ensuring that I'll call him when I'm done. I really need to buy a car.Harry kisses my forehead before turning as I enter the building."I have to get myself a b
Turns out Mr Keels is handing over the company to me. Funny, I know. If a month and a half ago I would be told I'd be a rich pregnant heiress who was impregnated by Sydney Kings, I would laugh in your face and ask you to join a mental hospital. That's just sick. But here I am.Mr Keels explained how my mother wouldn't be the CEO since she got depressed and Jason was never interested with company work so Mr Keels took over until another suitable person would be found. Me.We agreed that since I'm pregnant I would only get to know how everything works and prepare myself to take over six months after my baby's birth.I take out my flowery sundress after taking a bath ready to go see my mother in the clinic. Jason should be here in twenty minutes and since I'm not applying any makeup that means more time for me.It's been a week since the meeting at the office and I told Jason and Mr Keels that I wou
Today Harry and I will be going for my appointment and later for some baby's shopping. It's 5am and I'm sleepless. I'm turning into an insomniac! I hold my tummy and caress it as if the baby can be seen as I think of how it would feel with its daddy here.I sigh. A girl can always dream. Sydney and I are just never meant to be.I take a cracker from my bedside table and take a bite before the morning sickness starts. I check the clock to find it's only five minutes past six.Should I go for a run? NO! I don't want the same incidences happening again. I still can't get over the fact that the person I had to save was the person responsible for all my morning sicknesses! What makes me furious is that he's enjoying a good night sleep with his fiancé while I'm here up like an insomniac and trying to have at least an hour of sleep.Talk about unfair lives.
