Entangled Hearts: The Forbidden Bond Discreet
ROBERTAs I walked inside the bar, a sense of anticipation washed over me. Bryan and I had fixed a meeting. I had to come up with a lie that I'd been in a conference and wasn't able to hold conversations. I didn't know if he bought that. We hadn't seen each other for such a long time, I wondered how I was going to feel when I saw him again. Somewhere inside of me, I hoped I might have gotten over those feelings. I had her now and I loved my little Isla dearly. The bar was exquisitely lit. It screamed of pure luxury. Bryann had chosen this place.As I got into the bar, I spotted Bryan right away, his sharp features unmistakable to recognize. He was one man with the intoxicating power of taste. He was exquisite and it reflected on himHe was leaning back in his seat, his usual confident, easy demeanor exuding from him. He had that way of commanding attention without even trying, how could a man be this mesmerizing?I walked over to him, a smile spreading involuntarily across my face. A

ISLAI spent a larger part of the morning trying to make myself beautiful. I've never felt more excited to go to work. Everything felt colorful and right. Ever since Robert and I had sex, I'd become self conscious. I found myself spending more time than necessary having a bath, choosing a dress to wear, or even spending vain time picking out jeweleries. I began to pay extra attention to my appearance.I was going through the items I had in my purse when my phone rang. It was a call from Stiles. I mentally groaned, feeling frustrated at why I involved myself with him in the first place. I ignored the call, swiped a final application of mascara to my lash extensions. All the credit goes to my best friend. She sure taught me a whole lot.I looked at the mirror, a self satisfied smirk playing on my lips. It didn't matter if I didn't see Robert after he left the house on saturday and throughout the remaining part of the weekend. I was definitely going to see him at work. Throughout the rem

ISLAFew minutes after I got into my office and had myself settled, I heard a knock on the door. I felt butterflies and dread in the pit of my stomach at the same time. Robert or Mia? I so badly wanted it to be him. If that door opens and Mia walks in, I'd scream so loud that this entire building will come crashing down. Then the door creaked open, and Stiles walked in stylish, though his expression was unreadable. I was sure he was very upset with me. I bit the bottom of my lip slightly, guilt caressing me in the face. He had a judging look, but still he smiled. I knew a pretentious smile when I saw one."Hi, good morning." He greeted, walking over to me."Stiles," I wasn't sure what excuse to come up with. " I'm soooo sorry, I've been busy." I lied."I understand." He nooded. "After running off the other night without a single word, I thought I should at least reach out to know how you were doing."What actually happened was that I had abruptly stood up and told him I was going ho

ISLAI finally got back to the mansion after long hours at work. I spent the majority of the time editing some documents Mia had forwarded to me via email. Somehow the she-devil had left me off her hook. That antagonizing woman didn't pressure me today, she didn't even show her vicious face in my office throughout the entire day. I couldn't help wondering if she was alright, it was unlike her not to cause trouble. As soon as work ended, I hurried back home without having to meet Robert first. I've noticed he never came back home immediately after work. I didn't know where he went, but I just guessed he had lots of things to take care of after work. Even if it broke my heart, I was getting accustomed to a whole lot of things about my boss and sweetheart. I checked the time. I mentally gave myself 30 minutes to prepare. I had to be gone before Robert showed up in the house. I wouldn't want to explain why I had to dress up in a formal evening dress to hang out with my best friend at her

ISLAAs I ran toward the spot where I had told Stiles to wait. My mind raced, my thoughts scattered as I hoped I wasn’t making a fucking mistake. Why did I even let Stiles talk me into this? I wasn't even interested in him, But here I was, sneaking away and lying to Robert.When I finally saw the headlights in the distance, my heart skipped a beat. It was Stiles. My breath caught in my throat as I waved frantically like a mad woman, looking over my shoulder to make sure Robert wasn’t somehow right behind me, I'll be doomed if he was. It didn’t help that my heart seemed to have decided on it's own that it wanted to jump out of my chest.The car honked twice, his headlights flickering on. I quickened my pace, my hands shaking as I reached for the passenger door. I flung it open and practically jumped in, slamming the door shut beside me."Jesus, Isla!" Stiles said, his voice filled with surprise and amusement. He was grinning as I settled into the seat, my heart still racing. "You look

ROBERT I didn't know when I became this vulnerable to my feelings. I had come to the mansion to pick something, and then I had seen Isla in that dress. A whole lot of memories flooded into my mind. Somehow, we were there again, at her parents thirtieth wedding anniversary. That was the first time I felt that desire for her. It was a very strong desire, one I didn't think I'd ever feel for any woman. She had looked so mesmerizing that for some good minutes, all my guards had been completely let down. I couldn't help to see a beautiful young woman that I would have a difficult time ignoring. These feelings were forbidden. She was Mason's daughter. A friend who took me as a brother. There had been a whole lot of time where we were in a formal gathering and Mason Turner would introduce me to business associates as his dear brother. Isla had earlier informed me of her plans to meet up with her best friend, but something within me felt insecure. Like I needed to know exactly who she was

ISLAI sat at the table with Stiles and the man that had introduced himself as Bryan Foster, and whom Stiles had introduced to be his mentor and whatever. I was trying my best to look calm and composed, even though the knot in my stomach keep tightening with every passing second. Stiles was more like his usual self. He was unbelievably loud, laughing, and making unnecessary jokes, while Bryan sat quietly beside me. He carried himself with so much grace and yet there was this ease. He was obviously sophisticated. I wondered what his life must be like. Everyone here obviously were business owners, business managers and people who cared way too much about their stock portfolios and net worth. It was more like a gathering of billionaires. I suddenly shifted my gaze to Stiles. Somehow, I felt there was no way he had a billion dollar as asset or as cash sitting pretty on his account. He seemed too unserious. He laughed too much and joked a lot. Maybe it wasn't right to judge a book by it'

ISLAI sat with my hands dropped on my thighs, twisting my fingers nervously. I hoped the ground would Somehow open up right there and swallow me completely. I felt my heart still pounding in my chest as Robert and Mia moved towards a nearby table. Robert didn’t even glance back at me as he walked away. I watched them sit down, Robert right across from Mia as she adjusted herself in that typical way of hers, trying to exude a sense of control. As I stole a quick glance at their table, I noticed something that made my stomach twist even tighter. The table had been reserved for Robert. I could see the initials 'R.H' printed on a small placard at the corner of the table. It felt like a punch to the gut. I hadn't only sneaked out to this party, I had come to also sit directly opposite his table. I wondered how I was going to survive the night with him sitting there, directly facing me. Whenever I raised my head up, I knew I was going to come directly with his piercing blue eyes.A shiver

Entangled Hearts: The Forbidden Bond Do you like her?
ROBERTIsla and I disengaged. She took a step away from me. her eyes filled with worry. For a few minutes, no one said anything. There was only the exchanging of looks, and Mia was sure serving the killer looks. Bryan looked completely stunned. I knew we scheduled for a time to meet today, I just didn't think he'd be that early, or maybe because I had turned in late for work after reeling from the effect of getting drunk. "Hmm, I'll send you a template on how to label the mails." I said to her, loud enough for everyone to hear.Isla nodded and walked out, nodding a greeting to Bryan by the door, and muttering something to Mia."Please, have your seats." I gestured as I rounded my desk to settle down. I quickly put away the file I had spread out on the table. Bryan had a look of surprise, he looked like he had something to say. Mia on the other hand just glared at me. I tried to search my head for any reason she was here. Sure it had something to do with business."How have you been?
Entangled Hearts: The Forbidden Bond Work and Pleasure
ROBERTAs soon as I got to my office, I first set out to go through one thing—the file. I inputted the code on my safe and it clicked open. I brought out the file Davis had been working on. My hand wiped the face off invisible dust. This wasn't any part of business, but still, it was going to be one of my greatest accomplishments. I went back to my seat and settled myself down. A small headache still lingered somewhere in my head, but I decided if I ignored it, then it would definitely subside. I opened the file and spread it out on my desk. I picked up the external drive Davis had left for me in our last meeting. Davis was the private investigator that had been on the case of my parents' death. The drive contained the recordings of a CCTV footage. I connected it to my laptop and played it. Just few minutes into the recording, a light knock came on the door. Somehow, I had the feeling that it was her. Well, my guess was correct. The words that Mia had said last night hit my gut,
Entangled Hearts: The Forbidden Bond Morning at the office
ISLA"Your breakfast…""Don't worry, eat as much as you want, if you have a boyfriend, you can pack some for him, you can invite your friends over, they can come eat." I smiled, of course I was angry and being sarcastic but she wouldn't know. The maid looked confused, her lips parted open to say something, but she shut it back and just stared at me with wide confused eyes. I made for the door, but suddenly paused in my tracks. I turned back to look at her. "Are you so scared of him? If he asks you, tell him I asked you to bring your friends over for breakfast." I shrugged and stepped out of the house. I reached my office and tried to settle in. I was fuming with anger but decided to keep it cool. Why? He was with Mia for dinner, he had promised to call, or maybe perhaps he had forgotten. Hell no, I wasn't stupid. The witch must have somehow cast a spell on him. A spell that made sure…..A knock on the door interrupted my trail of thoughts. Stiles walked in."What do you want?"He d
Entangled Hearts: The Forbidden Bond Missed Calls
ROBERT"You know what? Call your dad's driver and have him drop you off."With that I walked to the car, got in and slammed the door shut. Without thinking twice, I drove out of the compound and headed for my penthouse. As I got to my room, I got a cup and filled it with whisky. The drink burned its way down my throat, each gulp a futile attempt to drown the storm raging within me. Mia's words echoed relentlessly in my mind "What do you think Mason and Olivia would do?". The finality in her tone had struck a mark in my heart, leaving me reeling with a mix of anger, hurt, and confusion. I put away the glass and drowned the remaining content directly, till there was nothing left in the bottle. I turned it turned it over, just to be sure there was nothing left. I tugged impatiently at the collar of my shirt, trying to find the place I had knotted my tie. When I found it, I ripped it off impatiently. I slumped onto the couch, kicking the shoes off, sending them flying across the room
Entangled Hearts: The Forbidden Bond Anger and Truth
ROBERTFor some good minutes, May and Steve didn't return back to the dinning table. I didn't touch the food since they left, somehow feeling grateful for the fact that I didn't have to continue lying and filling my stomach with more burnt food. Mia suddenly pushed the food away. My intuition strongly told me the couples knew something concerning my parent's death. They knew the perpetrator, but just wanted to protect them. There was nothing natural about the incident. I really didn't want to involve anyone because it was an underground work, one I wouldn't easily let down till I got to the root of."Mom had been the one who suggested and planned this dinner." Mia spoke, her usually bright golden eyes looking dark. "I don't want to say it, but I feel they're going crazy.""Mia…""No, don't give me all those 'it's fine' shits like I'm some little girl. I'm more than old enough to know when it's fine or not."I nooded in understanding at the blunt honesty."Look, just now dad mentioned
Entangled Hearts: The Forbidden Bond Dinner
ROBERT"Robert, could you believe? mom prepared all these by herself." Mia chuckled. She looked like some excited teenager that managed to invite their boyfriend over for dinner."Really? That's…." To be honest, I didn't know what to say in this kind of situation, but I knew I should be thankful at the heartfelt gesture, right?"... lovely, I feel honored. Thank you." I smiled at May and watch her cheeks color as she secured some strands of hair dancing on her face to the back of her ear. "I hope you like it." May replied, gesturing at the plate in front of me. I opened the cover. May had prepared a classic American style home cooked dinner. The centerpiece was a meatloaf—slightly burnt around the edges, its crust a bit too dark, evidence that she'd left it in the oven longer than intended. Alongside it were buttery mashed potatoes with green beans sautéed with almonds, and a fresh garden salad tossed in a light vinaigrette. There was also cornbread, just a little dry at the top, li
Entangled Hearts: The Forbidden Bond Unease
ROBERTAs I drove the SUV out of the garage, I redialled Mia's line."Robert," Her voice rang out on the third ring."Mia, what did you do that for?" I tried to keep my voice steady, but the anger still surfaced."What did I do what for?" She replied."You know exactly what I'm talking about.""I don't exactly know what you're talking about, Robert..please be clear."I knew Mia well enough."If you're going to be stooping so low to taunt her, you should at least remember your position." I said sternly. "Whoa, wait Robert, is this about your practicing secretary?""Isla.""I guessed so. This confirms it""Confirms what?""Never mind. 6PM. Don't be late, Robert."I ended the call with a sigh. ****I glanced at the full length mirror and noticed that one of the buttons of my suit was undone. My fingers tugged lazily in an attempt to button it. When I was done dressing up, I picked a car key from my bedside table. I studied it for a while and decided I didn't want to impress so I picke
Entangled Hearts: The Forbidden Bond I Love You
ROBERTMy hand lifted her chin till she was staring directly at me. Her eyes held a look of surprise. I wondered what was going through her mind this minute. It was a miracle that I had been able to control my fury when I saw Stiles gripping her hand with such possessiveness. Somehow, I imagined he was attracted to get. I mean, who wouldn't be? She was beautiful and had that pull that would lure any man in, but she was mine. I noticed Isla's eyes were closing slowly and her body leaning in against mine. Her lips were forming a small pout. I almost chuckled. Just how cute my baby looked."What are you doing, Isla?" I couldn't help shake the smirk tugging involuntarily at the corner of my lips. I seemed to have dragged my little girl out of her fantasies. Her eyes fluttered open, her lips parted and a small flush kissed her cheeks, making it a light pink shade. "Um.." She moved back a bit, her hand flying to smoothen some strands of hair to her pony tail. "I…"The words trailed. "

ISLAAs I stomped angrily back to my office, the only image playing in my head was the taunting picture of Mia and Robert. What stupid games was this? I tried to calm myself down. This was her main goal; to piss me off! And yes, it was fucking working, but I shouldn't let it work."Isla!" I heard my name echo through the corridor. I exhaled sharply and turned around to look. Stiles was walking up to me with hurried steps. What did he fucking want right now?"What?" I asked, sounding uncontrollably stern."Why are you so angry? What happened?" He asked, a look of concern etched on his face."I'm not angry, Why? Does it look like I am?" I snapped and mentally tried to calm myself down. 'Okay, Isla..breathe. This isn't the worst she has done.'"It sure looks like you're about to go punch someone, you're literally up in flames."I chuckled. "Well, that's not the case." I tried to move but he caught me with one hand. "So, mind telling me why you've been ignoring my texts all week?"I fl
