Isobella's POV
Determined to get him to say something meaningful, I was about to probe further when his phone began to buzz in his hand, sending my words back into my throat.
"Excuse me." He said and with his phone in his ear, he left my room, closing the door gently.
"Now there is no way I can convince Braddy my father sold me to him. He will think I left him on purpose." I groaned, pulling my legs to my face.
Mentally drained, I decided to get some sleep but the moment my eyes landed on my phone which was lying close to me, I reached out for it then dialed Jhena's phone.
"I hope she isn't asleep, it's late already." I mumbled, casting a quick glance at the wall clock hanging above my bed.
"Of course it's late but I'm not asleep yet. I was even about to call you before your call came in." Jhena replied. Her response made my hear
Isobella POVThe sun rays seeped through the curtains, coaxing me out of my sleep the next morning as the memories of the last night invaded my thoughts. What exactly was going through Brady's mind when he kissed me? Thankfully, Artemis didn't see anything and I was wise enough to warn Brady never to do that again. Artemis had married me against my wishes but I wasn't about to desecrate our marriage vows.Suddenly, my eyes caught a piece of paper on the dresser and immediately, I reached out for it.'I'm sorry about last night. I had an important trip to embark on last night to Nevada. See you soon.' the paper read and even without looking at the name attached at the bottom of the paper, I knew at once it was Artemis.I hurriedly got dressed for the day and with my hair packed up in a messy bun, I made my way to the dining room for breakfast.Immediately I
Isobella's POVOut of the three ladies standing before me, I could only recognize Natasha but I didn't need anyone to tell me that they were all Artemis exes. All three of them had their hands on their hips with a smirk on their faces."Mrs. Lancaster." Natasha called, mockery dripping from her tone. I didn't respond, instead I turned around trying to pull the door open but couldn't.If I had known I would run into Natasha, I would have found another spot to do my business."She's Isobella right?" The lady with the blonde hair asked her company."Yes Kiara." Natasha replied, smirking."It wouldn't hurt if we confirm though." Kiara said with a little chuckle as she made her way towards me. With each step she took, I took two backwards. We continued this way until my back connected to the wall.Don't touch me &
Isobella POVWondering who the person on the other end was, I exchanged glances with Jhena in hope to get clues but she was wearing a blank expression."Sir." Zoey's voice rang in the hallway and at that instant, my blood ceased flowing. Artemis was the intruder — he must have heard all my discussion with Jhena.Shaking with fright, I began to rack my head for things to say to him but couldn't come up with any."Not the right room?" My father's voice came through.What the hell is going on — I yelled in my head as I hurried towards the door. Without thinking twice, I yanked it open and to my surprise, I saw father."Get back in before my boss sees you." Zoey said with a hushed whisper."What's going on?" I asked, confusion written all over my face."I don't w

Isobella's POVMy heart continued ramming against my chest as I thought of what Artemis was up to. I was curious but I had my eyes shut — I didn't have the courage to look back at him yet."Isobel, I'm in the dining room. Get ready and come join me." Artemis voice rang in my head and at once, my eyes snapped openWhat — I yelled in my head. A few minutes ago, Artemis was right in front of me but right now, his hand was on the knob.How did he get there without my notice?"I will be waiting." He said and the next second he was out of my room.Not wanting to keep him waiting for too long, I flung the wardrobe open then began ransacking for befitting clothes.Searching for a suitable dress took me a while. It wasn't as if the wardrobe didn't contain clothes, it did but they all lo
Isobella’s POVThe next time I heard footsteps, I turned swiftly and to my surprise, it was the lady who had ushered me in earlier. "Did I scare you?" She asked, her face masked with worry. "Uhm… I'm fine." I replied, wiping the seat off my brow. She kept staring at me for a while before a smile crept to her lips. "Come with me. Your room is ready." Shs said invitingly. I nodded then began to trail after her. A few minutes later, we were standing in a large hallway which had about six doors— four on one side then two on the other side. "Ma'am…" I called. "You don't have to address me formally,ma'am. Just call me Zoey." She replied, still wearing her smile. "Alright, I'm Isobella but you can call me Bella." "Yeah. This way." She said. We walked a bit further before coming to a halt in front of a door. "This is your room. When you have freshened up, you come down for dinner. I made a sumptuous meal for you." She didn't allow me to respond before she turned around and scurried aw
