Monday, my first day at work.I woke early filled up with anxiety but by the time I got to work I was composed.Immediately I got into work, I met with the head of HR. Who then showed me to my office which is at the top floor beside the CEO's office, I'll be working directly with him in finding solutions to the current issues they have been having with there international software.Then I go meet with Paul Sinclair, the man who did my interview to update me on the project before I meet with the CEO."I'll explain a few things then you'll be meeting with Mr king." Paul says as he shows me the files and explains the issues.Paul's gaze moved suddenly to something behind me. "Ah, here he is now, in fact." He stood up and addressed the person behind me. "Great timing. We were just talking about you."I stood up and turned around and I'm met with the worst of all surprises.It was Carter. Carter from the elevator. He is my boss, the CEO.How could I be so stupid. Now I'm going to lose this job before I even start.Somehow I made it to my feet. Somehow my knees didn't give out as I turned to him. Somehow I managed not to fall apart when my gaze met his. They were even more devastating beautiful than I'd remembered.He smiled, a smile so smooth it was hard to believe he even recognized me. Except he did recognize me. His eyes filled with familiarity.And Paul completely unaware introduced us. "Carter, this is Isabella Marino. She's taking the lead with the new project."I let Carter— Mr King take my hand in his. His grip firm, but the effect he had on my body was entirely different. Like one hundred and ten volts were running through our touch."Nice to officially meet you, Isabella...Marino, was it?"
"Uh-huh." It was the only sound I was capable of producing. We had made out and I humped his fingers till I came in an elevator in this building, I had almost slept with him. And now I was going to have to work with him or probably be fired right now."Thank you, Paul," he said, his hand still clutching mine. "I can take this from here. Could you shut the door on the way out?"
"Oh. Sure. No problem." Paul seemed surprised at being dismissed. But Carter King was his boss so what could he do."Did. You. Know. I owned. The company?" he asked slower as if that would make it make more sense."Ummm...No. I mean, you didn't tell me your last name."His jaw ticked, and he took a step closer, but this time it wasn't in passion, but to intimidate."I'm utterly and completely against office sexual relationships or romances." Carter says curtly."Believe me I didn't know it was you and as a matter of fact I have never done anything like that, I was freaking out and it completely took my mind off being trapped in a small space or it wouldn't have happened." I babble not stopping for a second."I'm a professional Mr King and I promise if I don't get fired right now, nothing like that will ever happen." I continue babbling."I believe the team that was handling the project you're assigned to has scheduled a meeting at 11. After you meet with them and present your ideas you'll update me on the progress." Carter says ignoring everything I just said.
"Your office is right next to mine." He adds."Okay. Thank you." I say happy that I'm not fired.His eyes met mine, a collision that made me dizzy. He held out his hand to shake, and when I gave him mine, an electric shock went through my body, big enough to wake me up to the fact that I wasn't just getting ahead of myself, I was also crazy because how the hell did I think I could work with a man I'd a sexual encounter with?Isabella’s POVA helicopter just dropped us at our villa in Milan for our honeymoon, we just got married exactly 5 hours ago.We haven’t exactly been alone in months so when Carter looked at me with those hungry eyes I knew what it meant, I have been looking at him like that every single minute of every day.His hungry eyes drop down my body and, as if unable to help it, he runs his hand down my chest and cups my breast through my white ethereal wedding dress. “I like you dressed like this.”“I prefer you naked,” I retort and he smirks.He puts me over his shoulder and marches up the hallway to the bedroom, he slowly slides me down his body
Isabella's POVI gave birth to our beautiful baby boy Leo 6 weeks ago. We didn’t know the sex of the baby till after I gave birth, Carter had guessed a girl and I guessed a boy and I was right.That didn’t change the fact of how happy we both were, Leo is beautiful. He is perfect.Having a child truly is like having a piece of your heart outside your body, and that feeling is both as wonderful and as terrifying as it sounds.Our family and friends all came to visit us in the hospital, everyone so happy for us. My dad was especially happy when we named the baby after him Leo.We only stayed a few days in the hospital before we finally went home. To our home, which we had renovated making it ours.
Isabella's POVMy mother had come over to New York, I had only seen her once since I told her I was pregnant and that was months ago. I’m now 7 months heavily pregnant, she came to visit for only a day and Carter and I took her out to dinner to also celebrate our engagement with her.We had an amazing dinner before she went back to New Jersey immediately after dinner, it was good to see her. I like having her around but I almost never see her, I mean she has a whole new family with her husband which sometimes makes me jealous that she isn’t that much in my life but I try not to let it bother me that much. Besides I have my father around all the time and he loves me very much. I don’t even miss her that much with my father around, he makes it up by being in my life constantly.My mother and Carter have also set up a r
Isabella’s POVCarter and I have decided to make it official we’re now living with each, we’re renovating his penthouse. Making it our home, adding in a nursery for our baby.After a day of selecting color scheme for the nursery I went to our bed, crawled under the covers, and fell asleep with a smile on my face.Carter woke me up two hours later. His lips were skimming my shoulder, his fingers lazily tracing down my waist, over my hip. He was behind me, curved around me, molded to me. “Are you awake?” he whispered.I made a soft moaning sound to let him know I was.He kissed a spot below my ear, and then he asked, “Is this okay?” As he kis
Isabella’s POV “I think I should go.” I say dropping my fork everyone around the table eyes on me.“Are you okay baby? Do you feel fine?” Carter asks concern flashing across his face.We’re having dinner with his family in his childhood home in Connecticut. We had made plans to have dinner with his mother weeks ago but she was going on a cruise with her new boyfriend so we postponed it to when she was back.She got back yesterday and we’re a family dinner to celebrate my pregnancy. Everything was fine when we arrived, she gave Carter a hug kissing him and she also hugged me congratulating me. Telling me how happy she was to have a grandchild.Then we sat down for dinner and she started.
Isabella’s POVI wake up from my nap almost an hour later checking the time to see it’s 1:30am in the morning. Carter isn’t back in bed yet so maybe he isn’t yet back. I put on a silky robe over my next to nothing sleepwear going downstairs to find something to eat. My sleeping pattern is still messed up and this baby growing inside me is deeply in love with anything cheesy.Using the service in house elevator to go down kitchen, I hear voices coming out from the kitchen.I walk in joining them finding Carter and his brother Johnny and sister Stephanie they’re all laughing and talking about something when they notice me.“Bella!” Steph exclaims excitedly jumping down from her stool to hug me.
