ISLA

I sat alone at the table, poking absentmindedly at a slice of toast. The silence in the mansion was loud, too loud. The truth is— it had been like this for a week.

Robert had said he'd been busy, and these days, it seemed being busy meant he was hanging with Bryan. Even if I tried to tell myself it was simply work, I still couldn't stop my head from conjuring all the worst case scenarios of what his being busy might mean.

Mia's words always relentlessly crawled their way back into my head every damn minute. Still, I didn't want to believe it. But then, times like this when Robert suddenly became distant, I just thought maybe there was a possibility.

Still, what could I do?

March up to him and ask “Are you and Bryan a thing?”

No.

That sounded purely stupid.

I was just being paranoid because I was feeling alone, that was all.

I stood up abruptly, the food wasn't tasting any good in my mouth. I walked out of the house and headed for work.

  • Entangled Hearts: The Forbidden Bond   Reunited

    ISLAIt's been two years.Two years and five months actually.A lot had happened in those times. A lot that I hadn't initially planned. First, I ran a two year programme in finance management at Harvard Business school. I'd done more than I ever thought I could. Maybe because I wanted to live up to my parent's expectations because of course, they'd sacrifice so much for me.My graduation had been surreal. Hailey was there, cheering me on like I'd as well just gotten to a height no one else had. My parents had also flown in from Dublin. They'd even organized a party for me. And of course, they hadn't talked down on Hailey.But then, personally, I didn't think I'd ever felt more fulfilled in my life. It felt like I finally had clarity, and was seeing life through a different lens.Currently, Hailey and I are on vacation in Hawaii. We had even rented a cabin for just the two of us.After graduating, my parents had asked if I wanted to go with them to Dublin, but I'd told them I'd think

  • Entangled Hearts: The Forbidden Bond   Finding Out The Truth

    ISLAEvery passing day, I tried not to think about him.But still, when my phone beeped with a notification, I found myself diving for it, hoping it was a text from Robert. When I heard the sound of a car, I immediately thought it was Robert coming to find me, to apologize and ask me to come back. And despite all the resolve I thought I'd made, I knew I would have forgiven him if he asked. I knew I would have gone back with him if he asked me to.But then, I needed to move on from him. Obviously, Robert had. He and Bryan could really be all over the moon right now that I was gone from their lives.So, I tried not to think about the way he used to kiss me. The intensity with which he used to make love to me. The way he smiled sweetly when he talked to me. I tried not to think of all of it, but I just couldn't. Little things seemed to get me deeply in thoughts about the man I'd told myself over and over that I was done with.But was I really done?Could I ever forget Robert? Could I

  • Entangled Hearts: The Forbidden Bond   A Pawn In His Game

    MIAI woke up with a pounding headache—the kind that felt like my skull was just about to crack open. As I stretched and let out a wide yawn, I could still taste the whisky in my mouth. My eyes squinted at the sunlight that enveloped my room.How had I ended up so drunk last night?And seriously, how had I gotten home by myself?Somehow, I couldn't remember that particular detail. Had Robert seriously brought me home? Or had I managed to drive myself back?I reached out sleepily for my phone on the nightstand, still trying to blink away the grogginess I was feeling.10:03 AM?How the hell had I slept for so long?What sort of whisky did Robert keep in his house. I've had drinks way worst in the past, and never had I ended up this hungover. As I sat up, I tried to go over the previous evening again, but the headache was a roadblock. I couldn't get past the pounding in my head. Somehow, that was all my brain could focus on.As I unlocked my phone, I frowned. There were several missed ca

  • Entangled Hearts: The Forbidden Bond   Hazy Confession

    ROBERTI'd known the moment her palm swept hard across my face that she'd found out the truth.She'd finally come to know that part of me I'd kept away from her. That part of me I'd tried to keep buried away, because I knew it would break her. And yet, that's what I'd ended up doing —breaking her to a point of no return. I was sure of that. Isla was gone from my life.My chest ached badly in a way I couldn't explain. I deserved it. All the heartache, all the stinging pain that was grinding my heart at that moment, I deserved all of it and maybe even more.A slap wasn't even enough punishment for what I'd done to the woman that constantly looked at me with so much love and adoration. I'd fucked up big time.I couldn't even go after her. I stood still, my towel still wrapped firmly around my waist, my hair still dripping with water.But then, how had she found out?My phone suddenly buzzed on the nightstand. I reached it in two long strides. When I picked it up, the screen was lit with

  • Entangled Hearts: The Forbidden Bond   Gone For Good

    ISLAI sat by the window staring mindlessly at the buildings that blurred past us. Robert sat just beside me at the back seat, busy with something on his phone, while the chauffeur headed for the hotel room he said he'd checked in.I still felt slightly sore from the love making we'd just had, but what was in my head was far from that. It was just like everything that had happened was some sort of melodramatic movie playing repeatedly in my head.And also, Robert had made one thing very clear—I seriously needed to start believing him. That had been one thing constantly lacking in our affair—Trust.It was crazy how I'd tried to run from him and he'd found me the next day, even showed up in front of the door like this was something usual. And I'd be a liar if I didn't say I felt touched by the very act of him coming to find me.Minutes later, we arrived at the hotel. We both approached the receptionist with Robert pulling my bag along with ease. I suddenly felt guilty, knowing just how

  • Entangled Hearts: The Forbidden Bond   Every Seed Of Doubt

    ROBERTIt didn't take me long to get myself properly cleaned up. As I changed into a more comfortable T shirt and pants, I couldn't believe how much my heart had stopped racing. Maybe it was the fact that I knew exactly what she was, or maybe because last night, before I fell asleep, a thought had crawled up my head.I'd been going over the details of the previous day and replaying all the details in my head. Right from when Mia had told me Isla had walked into my office and left in tears. I'd slowly gone over every details. Bryan and I had been together that morning, he'd tried to get touchy, but then we hadn't really gotten intimate. There had been nothing substantial to actually suggest that anything was going on between us.So, why exactly would she react that way?Except maybe she'd been suspecting something.I took one final look in the mirror, and drew in a deep breath, trying to steady myself.The car was already waiting outside, and immediately I slid in, I gave the chauffeur
