THIRD PERSON’S POV

Golden chandeliers cast a warm light over a packed auction hall on the final day of the prestigious art auction. Isabella was standing at the rostrum, fidgeting as the auctioneer's hammer came down for the final time. The applause, which roared through the elegant hall, sounded as though it might shake the very walls

“Ladies and gentlemen,” The auctioneer's voice rang out from the microphone, which broadcast the event to millions of people around the planet, through the live feed, “We have just made history tonight. Phoenix has reached a record high, with over ten million dollars worth of pieces sold in one auction."

As she took the crystal award, Isabella’s hands shook. It was surreal to experience this after all the efforts she had put in it.

“It’s an absolute honor,” Isabella said into the mic, still maintaining her composure despite the surge of emotions. “Art has always been my sanctuary, my way of communicating what words can’t get at. For my art to be recogn

    THIRD PERSON’S POVAfter four days, Isabella begged him to let her come back home because she was tired of being stuck in there.

He had apologized to her about a million times.“I should be here with you but I have something pressing I need to quicky attend to.” Those were his words two hours ago.She wasn’t angry in the bit because she knew that his work was demanding as well due to how fast they were rising. His new branches were under construction and he was working towards hiring the right people.Alaric’s head was consumed with so much that it ached. He couldn't be in multiple places at the same time, and sharing his business secret would be dumb. He knew he would have to find a way around it.The doorbell rang causing Isabella to walk towards the door but she found Alaric standing th

Staring at the display on the wall projector.“—and all I think about Love that bounds.” She completed, her eyes drifting from him to them as they sat across the large oak desk. Her back ached from having to carry this pregnancy for so long. Her legs could barely bear the weight but she was stronger than whatever this was. Isabella watched them whisper something to themselves before they nodded.“Phoenix. This concept you have proposed is exactly what we need. It’s unique and we knew we wouldn't be disappointed after your amazing stories weaved around the countries.” The first man informed. “We are not just giving you the go-ahead on this. We wouldd appreciate if your handled it from start to finish.” Isabella's lips curled with a smile. “I will be honored to.” She confessed. Rex beamed happily at her, nodding his head. “We will hav

    THIRD PERSON’S POVThe sweet aroma of something pulled Isabella gently from her sleep. It wasn't the sunlight filtering through the blinds in a bid to announce the new day or the sound birds chirping.Instead it was the feel of something warm against her cheek. A pair of lips.She stirred, her eyes fluttering open as she tried to adjust to the morning. Her body ached most of the time now. He was standing there holding a tray that held breakfast, it seemed.Toast, and egg and orange juice with her favorite fruit bowl. Strawberries were arranged neatly in it, each cut into a heart shape. The crazy effort that had gone into that.“Good morning, gorgeous.” His voice sounded soft like it was rolled in honey and sugar.Isabella blinked, resting on one elbow.“Okayyy, you look like you have something up your sleeves.” She pointed out and watched him grin.“Can’t a man spoil the love of his life without a reason?” She arched her brows. “Definitely not this way. You are smiling too much. The

It was late evening cause they had spent the whole day in bed, laughing and chatting about what they each had missed.He sat few feet away from her, propping against the armrest of the chair while watching her with admiration and respect. With every second that passed, he still found it hard to believe that she had forgiven him and taken him back. A smile clung to his lips as he watched the woman he loved doing what she loved.

    THIRD PERSON POVThe call came at 3:47 AM, jolting Alaric and Isabella from sleep. Alaric cursed under his breath, rolling away from her. He grabbed the phone that sat on the table, ringing out and cutting through the night like the ending of a perfect dream. Isabella leaned forward on her elbow as a cold, detached voice came through from the other end of the line. "Mr. Alaric Wolfe?" Alaric felt a chill pill in his stomach. "This is Love Hospital. I'm calling about Valeria."Isabella sat up immediately, her heart already racing. Something was wrong. She didn't need a seer to know that. Her heart hammered in her chest as her mind went through a hundred terrible scenarios. As though he noticed her fear, he reached out to her and held her palm in his."She's given birth," The nurse continued. "A healthy baby girl. But there's been a complication.
