CHAPTER 34
Isabella’s POV
After our little heart to heart conversation Carter and I have dinner in front of the tv while watching friends. After we cuddle on the couch, I don’t know how long we sprawled on the couch like that, connected and close, my head on his shoulder and his hands caressing the curve of my spine.
I check the time to see it’s almost 11 pm and I was supposed to meet with Alessia hours ago, I already have angry messages from her.
"I have to go." I say looking at my phone.
Carter pressed his lips to my temple and murmured, “Stay.”
“I can’t Alessia will kill me if I don’t meet her in the next 30 minutes.” I say still cuddled against him.
He hugged me. “You’re coming back though?” He asked.
“It’s already late, see you tomorrow at work?” I ask.
“I’m flying to Silicon Valley tomorrow.” He says nuzzling his nose on my hair.
“When will you be back?” I asked pouting.

Cruel Intentions CHAPTER 35
Isabella’s POVCarter and I are ready to leave for his sisters fashion. It’s in Hammerstein Ballroom, a New York events venue on West 34th Street. This is not actually my first time attending one of his sisters fashion shows, I usually attend fashion shows all the time. Being a New York IT girl has it perks and I’m used to it but today I’m nervous, well mainly because this will my first time out with Carter as a couple.A limousine was waiting at the curb, and the driver opened the door when Carter and I stepped outside. I slid across the bench seat to the opposite side and adjusted my dress.I breathed him in, telling myself to relax and enjoy his company. We’re both quiet, he’s typing on his phone not paying attention to me.“Carter are you sure this is okay? Maybe we should just go separately.” I say bringing his attention to me.“Why? You’r
Cruel Intentions CHAPTER 36
Carter’s POV I lay in the darkness, my gaze fixed sightlessly on the ceiling as Isabella lay nestled in the crook of my arm. I knew she was awake. She hadn’t yet settled into the soft breathing and limp body he associated with her rest. But she lay there quietly, curled into my side, almost as though she were processing everything that had occurred. I was a bastard. I knew it. Suffered some regret. When she told me the truth about herself I believed her or atleast I thought I did till I ran into her father in Silicon Valley few days ago. She had told me her father didn’t know she was working for me, another lie. But when I met he knew she was working for me, he insinuated she had taken the job as a little project before she finally goes back to working with him. Meaning she was spying on kings telecom as her little project. Her father though doesn’t know my relationship status with her giving me a leverage to whe
Cruel Intentions CHAPTER 37
Isabella POV I’m in Carter’s office. I’m sitting on the sitting area away from his desk having lunch while Carter worked. The whole office has been buzzing with gossip about Carter and I, few people who were at his sisters fashion show saw us together so there has been speculations about our relationship. No one has directly asked me anything as of yet but I have been receiving glances all over the office all day. So I was glad when Carter asked me to have lunch with him in his office, technically he’s working and I’m eating. Carter’s intercom line buzzed, and he frowned at the interruption. He had told me he has a busy day working on some project, he didn’t really expand but he looked busy when I walked in and I heard him tell his secretary he didn’t want to be disturbed. “What,” he barked into the intercom. Ella’s nervous voice wavered over the line. “I know you said you weren’t to be disturbed,
Cruel Intentions CHAPTER 38
Carter's POV I find George in the bar, on his phone. He drops it immediately he sees me and signals the waitress over to bring us drinks. "You showed." Drink in hand, George turned to me when the waitresses disappeared. "So how are things working out with Isabella?" "Good, just dropped her home." I say taking the seat next to him. "Home? And where is home?" George asks raising his eyebrows. "My apartment." I muttered suddenly on instantly on alert. George has voiced out his concern, clearly not approving of my non relationship with Isabella. I didn't want it to be a bone of contention between us. Before I could say anything, George continued. "Sounds to me like you're in a relationship with Isabella." "It's not a relationship, it's a sham." "Really? Does Isabella know it's just a sham? I saw how you two acted around each other, clearly you have both have feelings for each o
Cruel Intentions CHAPTER 39
Isabella’s POV Another rather uneventful day at work, well till it took an eventful turn. I was at my desk work, designing new computer programs for a new project with Paul and Ryan when the assistant Ryan and I shared called my intercom. “There’s a Miss Emma Miller here to see you.”Jenna said immediately I answered the call. “Emma Miller?” I ask confused, Ryan immediately turning to face me when he heard her name. “Yes Emma Miller, she’s in the lobby downstairs.” Jenna said again. “Are you sure she’s here to see me?” I asked confused because why the hell is she here to see me, the only Emma and I had in common is Carter King. “Yes, she asked for you by name.” Jenna said again. “Should I send her up?” She added. “No, I’ll come down let her wait in the lobby downstairs.” I said getting up. “Where are you going?” Ryan asked. “I’ll be right back.” I say to him
Cruel Intentions CHAPTER 40
Isabella’s POV After yesterday night, after our fight Carter and I didn’t talk much. He stayed over at my apartment and left in the early hours of the morning. I don’t see him again till he calls me to his office to have lunch with him which by the way he didn’t stay. He was insanely busy. Three conference calls. Two meetings, plus countless other calls he had to return. So there was no crazy hot office sex to alleviate the burn, or any making up after our fight. Or maybe the insanely hot sex we had last night was us making up. Anyway I have lunch alone in his office. And suddenly I was back to sulking, even as ridiculous as that made me feel, I missed him. By closing time, I was hugely relieved. Couldn’t wait to get the hell out of the office, don’t get me wrong I love my job here. I love working on and creating new computer programs but then sometimes I get bored of. At least I had dinner with my father to look
Cruel Intentions CHAPTER 41
Isabella’s POVI wake up alone in Carter’s bed which is not unusual for him. For someone who sleeps late he also never sleeps in even during weekends like today he’s up early.I check the time on the bedside clock and it says past 11 am, almost 12. I look around for my phone I don’t know where I dropped last night.I don’t find it in Carter’s bedroom so I just go into the bathroom brush my teeth, by the way I even have my own toothbrush here. Then I wash my face, put on one of Carter’s robe before going downstairs.Downstairs I find his house keeper cleaning.“Good morning ma’am,” the sweet middle aged polish woman say to me.“Good morning Milena.” I say returning her smile.“Should we serve you breakfast?” She asks and I nod yes.“Is Carter out?” I ask.“No he’s in the gym.” S
Cruel Intentions CHAPTER 42
Carter’s POV Isabella was icing me out, well can’t say I don’t deserve it because I do. I knew if people saw us getting intimate at the glass room they would probably be repercussions and I didn’t do anything to stop it. I didn’t even do anything to stop it when George told someone had recorded us and if I wanted to do something to stop the video of us getting out. Hell I even knew someone was recording us but I did nothing because I’m selfish and a huge asshole who wants the world to know Isabella is mine. This whole relationship for me isn’t supposed to be real but it can’t not be real, we’re in too deep already and I don’t care anything but making Isabella happy. I haven’t seen her all week. She has also stopped going to work, I’m not sure if she quit because we barely talk now. I mean we talked few times on the phone but mostly awkward greetings with long pauses and I’m so fucking tired of not being with her.
