Warm yellow rays wafting through the window fell on the person sleeping on the bed. Her calm gasping changed into a groan as the beam fell on her face. She tried to shift her face by moving her body to the other side but felt a throbbing pain in her waist as she was about to turn.
She had no intention of opening her eyes, but still, the pain and the glares of the bright sun compelled her to open them. Her hazel eyes slowly opened but were immediately shut because it was too bright to look at. Just then she heard curtains move, dimming the brightness.
Her hazel eyes were now sharply opened and found unknown surroundings.
'This is not her home, then where is she?' it worked as horror in her mind. Immediately she rushed to sit up and the pain in her waist doubled."Ah! My waist," Isabella groaned and caressed the place. Just then, an unknown voice made her heart leap.
"You are thinking about your waist when you almost lost your life last night. Why are you so desperate to party at a bar, when you can't cope with that atmosphere?" the voice was like a storm, building its momentum, giving a strong warning that the next time the storm will destroy everything on its path.
Isabella's eyes followed the voice and found, at a good distance there was a man, sitting on a sofa and smoking. His one leg rested on the other, and the leisurely posture gave him a charismatic vibe.
The man gave her a familiar feeling because he was smoking the same way as that man she saw in the bar. As the smoke dispersed, the face become clear in front of Isabella's eyes and got a clear vision of the man.
He was wearing a white shirt and jeans while he stubbed the cigarette head on the ashtray. The shirt was loosened to his chest, causing his chest tattoo visible.
His chiseled jaw and Adam's apple qualified his look more. Those sharp purple eyes were so intense and had the power to gobble a lot of souls at one time, as she felt. His combed hair gave him a fresh and noble look with sexual touch.
"No no, this man is so familiar. Those purple eyes and the structure of his jaw just can't be her eye's mistake," Isabella battled in her thoughts. Her gut said, he was the same man but she felt too tired to push her brain.
"Whatever!" whispered Isabella. It's the perfect word that could shrug anything off your shoulder.
All these things aside, she didn't have time to be mesmerized by a man. She felt restless, thinking about her dad. He must have been sweating in tension, getting no call from her.
"Who are you and why am I here?" Isabella inquired. The last thing she remembered was that someone help her out of the car.
"It doesn't matter who am I. The matter is you are alive because of me. Now get up from the bed and get out," the man harshly spoke to Isabella, who did not know why this man was speaking so rudely but it could be possible that she stayed in his room one night and created a nuisance.
"Thank you, sir, for saving my life and I am leaving," Isabella softly answered and got down from the bed, but slowly. Her sudden move doubled the pain in her waist.
"Before leaving the room, change your cloth. I don't want any trouble outside," the man again ordered and pointed to the red dress on the table."Sir, I am alright in this dress. There will be no trouble. I am calling Uber and I will run. Your family member won't notice me," Isabella politely refused because she couldn't afford another help from him.
And she was about to call the Uber. Suddenly she recognized she had lost her phone last night, and dang! How will she call now?
"You are so clever. Huh! We are in a hotel room and you look like a murderer. First, change your cloth and I have your phone," the man said with a stern voice and Isabella's disobedience irritated him.
"What! you have? Please give me my phone first. I want to call my father," Isabella approached him with swift steps and stopped right in front of his face.
"Disgusting! You smell like old blood. Just stay away from me, if you want your phone, then quickly change your clothes," the man again roughly scolded her, treating her like a beggar, and he walked away from her to the balcony.
Isabella looked at the man's back and felt like he hated her. And what more can she expect, when he saved her life, more than that she stayed in his room also he brought cloth for her. And it must be a presidential suite because at first, she thought it was his house. Looking at the room, anyone could tell that he must be a rich business tycoon.
Isabella, with her slow steps, reached the table. The dress was pretty, with balloon sleeves. The material was soft too, but there was no tag on the dress, so she didn't understand whether it was new or used. Although she has no problem if he brought someone else's cloth. Grabbing the dress from the table, she looked back first at the man before going to the bathroom.
The gold tub invited her but remembering the distaste face of that man, Isabella restrained herself. She washed her face, checking her body at the same time because she remembered a rod that had gone into her leg. But why can't she see any spots or any blood on her leg?
"Strange! My forehead was bleeding. I remember correctly. Where have they all gone?
Ugh! Whatever. As that rude man said, I am alive, and that matters," Isabella muttered to herself and quickly dressed what the man had brought. Fortunately, it fitted her well. It was a knee-length frock and comfortable. Nevertheless, her body was stinking. She desperately wanted to take a bath, but she was afraid that the man would get angry if she did not leave her room early.That's when her eyes caught a small roll-on near the mirror where she had been standing and inspecting herself. She took it, but with it, there was a letter and a ring dropped on the floor. She didn't want to open it, but the ring had fallen from inside it. So if she had to put the ring back, she had to open the letter.
As she touched the letter, she felt that the paper was hard, as if the paper had dried up by something. When she opened it to put back the ring, her hand quivered, and it fell on the floor again.
"The letter is written in blood," Isabella mumbled, her back touching the bathroom wall and her eyes grew in shock.
She again picked up the letter from the floor and opened it. The first line was, "Alexander, I am crazy about you. It is really painful when you ignore me this way. I know we made a contract but I've fallen for you, which I can't control. Can you please give our relationship a chance? I will be your pet your servant anything, just love me, Alexander."There was more, but Isabella couldn't read anymore. She could feel the pain just by reading. It was from Jenny Kostova, whom she saw last night begging a man. And the same man saved her. Now she understood why he was acting so rudely who didn't know how to treat his girlfriend? How could he respect another woman?
"A horrible man," Isabella settled everything in their places and opened the door. Her gaze snagged the man who was doing something on the laptop. Now she loathed this man's face. Yes, a caring man is thousands of times better than a handsome, rich man. As she was about to ask for her phone, she heard her phone ring. She saw her phone was on a desk with a lot of books.
Now there was no need to talk with this man. Reaching the desk, she picked up her phone and saw her father's image on the screen but didn't receive the call in front of him, just glared one last time and walked out of his presidential suite.
And the door shut with a loud bang. Alexander lifted his brow in annoyance and looked at the door. His forehead wrinkled in anger. First, she didn't talk before leaving and dared to close the door this way. He shoved the laptop onto the floor in anger and stood up. His steps moved to the window to watch someone. The curtain, which was drawn closed, was now removed with one pull.
Both hands were placed on either side of the window and his eyes followed the woman, who has just hailed a cab and disappeared from his sight.
One hand slipped into his jeans pocket and pulled a cigarette out, then started smoking again, looking outside. He didn't need to hold the cigarette, it was inside his mouth and puffing while his hand ruffled his hair. Tilting his head back slightly, he closed his eyes, anger was visible. The next second he opened them in a jiffy, and mysteriously his eyes were red, then turned back purple again."We'll meet again. And I will train you how to be obedient."
★★★★★★★★Alighting from the cab, Isabella arranged her look and brightened her cheeks with a smile, as she looked dull when she looked at herself in the mirror. Her father is very cautious about her. It is really difficult for him to raise a daughter without a mother. But that didn't mean he gave up and married another woman because he loves her mother.She saw him crying, holding the picture of her mother. There isn't a single time when her father hasn't kissed her mother's photo before leaving the house for work.She understood the word love only after seeing her father. In her eyes, her mother and father are forever Romeo and Juliet.Unlocking the door, Isabella called her dad. She has the spare key, it was also the special key as it has a small dangling frame of her and her father."Dad! Have you made breakfast? I already missed my first class." Isabella is a college student majoring in English literature. She also knew how to speak Spanish. The biggest advantage of being an introver
★★★★ "You should file a police report. Those bastards must be punished," Danny and Bethany were so angry their fists tightened with Isabella's every word. They were scared as well as furious. They couldn't believe that so many things had happened to Isabella, and they didn't know. What if something had happened? Would they ever be able to forgive themselves? It was their fault that they took her there, but did not take care of her. "I'm sorry Isabella," Bethany hugged her at first, while Danny wiped her tears before hugging her, "I'm sorry, too. We were so careless last night. It won't happen again.""Stop it, it was not your fault. We went there for the party and you can't just babysit me there. It was my misfortune," Isabella smiled while her both hands were patting their back to calm them down. These are two of the best gems she has had since the beginning of her college. Apart from her father, she has these two crazy women as her supporters.Bethany and Danny were both rich gi
★★★ "What kind of lecture is that? We felt like we were standing in front of a devil and one mistake could perish our souls right instant. Damn!" Danny and Bethany both huffed their breath, which they had been holding. They brought their little mirror, lipstick, and powder for touchups, as they thought it dulled because of the fear they had received from the new president's appearance. Isabella didn't say a word as her mind was still twirling at that moment when their gaze collided, which might not have been intentional as she had believed. When their eyes met, she saw the fire. It was giving her the feeling of the victim, as if the trap was ready, waiting for her to step inside."Darling, Isabella. You're still intoxicated by the lecturer. Oh, sorry, sorry, our new president. Haha." It was the first time Bethany noticed Isabella was absent-minded. And her eyes had not yet left the door. And what is this thing called: an infatuation, when you saw someone sexy and spiced."Have you s
In the library, Isabella leaned against the bookshelf while her hand was gripping a rack behind her. She couldn't forget Jenny's crying. She looked pitiful. Isabella realized that Jenny's spirit was broken. The way she begged was the last door she could express her love, but in the end, she gave her life to revive her soul."Rest in peace, Jenny. Now God will be with you. Goodbye!" prayed Isabella. She had one thing in her heart; that she would never fall in love with someone like Alexander. A girl should be alone forever, but never give her heart to someone like Alexander. "Hi! Bella," a handsome man carrying a charming smile approached Isabella. "Hi, Noah. How are you? I heard you went to London," asked Isabella and gave him a friendly smile. They've known each other from day one, but what set them apart was their status. A month later, not caring about these things, Noah came and befriended Isabella's group. "Yeah, family business. Fathers had some work with me," Noah replied,
★★★Isabella looked at him strangely, as if she had heard something unusual and could not be justified. Not that Alexander was a ghost who could disappear whenever he wanted. She was busy evaluating Alexander and forgot to answer him, who was looking at her with displeasing eyes. "Fuck," Alexander anathematized at the slowpoke, who became mute and still can't get the sound back. "You are late. Don't you know punctuality? Second, don't do anything beyond your ability. You have entered this college on your scholarship. You know what I mean. I hate disobedient people," said Alexander slowly, straightening his posture which was leaned against the wall earlier. His gait was swift and royal.One harsh word after another ran into her ears, and Isabella's balance was shaken, her eyes full of hostility and her mouth forgetting to humble, "I am not a pet, which can be obedient by training. I was in the restroom. If it makes you impatient, why didn't you come there? Second, I got the scholarsh
★★★"What did he say? Has he threatened you?" the two girls rain their questions simultaneously on her before Isabella could breathe in the fresh air. After leaving the hell room, she felt how sweet the fresh air was. Her tense nerve relaxed, which had been tense in these few minutes."No, he didn't say grave things, just he asked me to do some of his office work, and instead, he will approve our majority letter to save Rachel's canteen. Now you two go and make a paper, where take signs of the students as many as possible so that we can save Rachel's canteen," Isabella explained everything to her friends and asked them to hurry because she thought they needed to do this work quickly before that the devil changed his mood."That's it! He agreed with your condition!” The disbelief was profound before resuming, “And wait, wait! What kind of office work has he given you?" Bethany asked."Yes, how can you agree to work when you have no experience?" Danny said, after Bethany, they just wante
★★★ Four girls entered with their snappy steps, their heels clicking on the restroom floor, and their vulgar high scented perfume just percolated into the restroom as they walked in. "We don't have time shitting with you guys. Move on," Bethany said annoyingly. Her two fingers just pressed to the tip of her nose because the smell of those girls wafted and gave her a headache. But looking at Bethany's daring, Alexy and her group blazed in anger. Their painted cat eyes were scrunched at them and their steps become violent from stylish as they approached them. "How dare you? Do you know how much our perfume costs?" Rinnai opened her mouth first, who was closely related to Alexy, as they were cousins. "Well, ours from Gucci and Channel, and they smell great," Danny smugly said, not because they wanted to talk about the brand, but because they gave a quick reminder that Rinnai and Alex's perfumes are not from the same brand as this group was obsessed with parading brand names. "Hu
"Noah," Isabella stood and turned to look at the man, and it was Noah, bright sun on a cold winter night. "Wow! I know your excitement isn't because of me. I pity my life," Noah said truthfully, sighing at his luck. How much he expected to see this enthusiasm in Isabella's eyes for himself, but it was all his dreams. "No, obviously, you're here with our group. Why wouldn't I be excited?" Isabella quickly covered up her excitement with her own words. Her attempt to tell a terrible lie made her cheeks red and the laughter of the two best friends only made her blush further. "Sweet. By the way, here's your book," Noah brought out her book under his shirt and handed it to her, for which she was forced to attend this bonfire. "Thanks, Noah," smiled Isabella as she took the book. Books are the closest to her. She always felt in her alone time that if she needed something, that was a good romance book. "You are welcome. Sit down now. I have something interesting for you girls," said No
