LOGINIsabella fixed her gaze on him. What the heck! “What?” She asked and almost immediately continued “Is it that you don't understand what I meant when I say I can only date Rian and nobody else or is it that you don't believe me when I said I'm not dating my colleague Ben?” She sneered. Aiden shook his head “It's none of it. I'm just wondering if you realise what you are saying? Thinking only of Rian as a man worthy of you, implies that you're in love with him without realising it” he explained. Isabella looked away and said nothing else. It appears what Aiden was saying was true. She feels excited thinking about him. As it is, she doesn't feel hurt by the past and she feels like seeing him. “Are you in love with my friend, Isa?” Aiden asked. He didn't wait for her to answer as he started the car again. “We're returning home now except stopping by to get chocolates for Eliora and her brother” he concluded. “What, I thought you were heading to the office?
“Why Amanda? Did you both not break up officially?” She asked, they broke up their engagement because of her infidelity. She was not loyal to him, she cheated and Aiden couldn't let it go. “Yes, Amanda. We broke up,yeah, that's true. But you know I couldn't move on. I tried Isabella but I can't live without her. We got talking a few weeks ago and now, we're getting back together. We're both suffering Isabella. She can't move on as well. She doesn't have interest in starting a relationship with anyone else and she called me to apologise for the up tent time. I forgave her. She's my woman, she'd always been mine. This mistake of the past is not ever happening again. We're getting engaged afresh and getting married days later. I am not taking chances this time anymore…” Aiden explained. A chuckle filled with self mockery escaped Isabella's lips. He forgave her, just because she begged him and told him she was wrong? “You believed her made up story? How can
Rian Whiteson just sluggishly looked away, avoiding Aiden's gaze. Why did he say it? When did he start losing the control over his tongue? Anyways, he shrugged and tried to change the subject of discussion. “Judging by this proposal, I think we can give this project a trial. What do you think about it, Aiden?” He asked, maintaining a calm expression. But Aiden didn't respond to him but smiled in excitement. “You see Rian, some things are more important than business, money and investment. Such things are more available than finances. I haven't heard something so interesting like this in a while. Tell me, since when did you fall in love with my sister?” he asked and continued “Before the scandal, after it or when you saw her in my office a while ago. I want to know Rian, tell me?” He winked an eye, smiling broadly. “Forget about what I said and let's continue with our mission here” Rian tried to shove it aside. Aiden is going to dwell on this now, rather tha
“You knew that Marcello and Jane are not siblings as she made us all believe at the beginning?” Ms Kamala asked, her expression showing a surprise and a desire to have her inquisition answered. “I learnt the truth when it was already late. When I went back home after I was discharged, I found out that Marcelo is Isaac's father and Jane's long time lover. But I didn't expect that my Papa's death was actually linked to them. But thank you Ms Kamala. It's time I visit the Green's family house again. Jane and her loved ones have occupied that place for so long without anyone questioning them. But now, I'll be there again” Isabella appreciated. “Give your Papa the justice that he deserves. Only you can bring Jane and her co-accomplice down for what they did to Mr Green!” Ms Kamala reminded her. She'd only prayed that she stays alive to see Isabella again. If death now decides to strike her, then her poor soul will eventually find peace again. She hopes to see M
“I’m so happy to see you again, Ms Kamala” Isabella chimed, stepping further into the house. It's been a few years but the bonding seemed as intact as it was back then. She glanced at the room and knew Ms Kamala hadn't been living a comfortable life at all. On the side laid a narrow bed, the wall was damned on a side with moulds and some saw that side was getting cold from its other end. There were two chairs, old and weak but neat and well dusted. And an old lampshade just next to a table. “I am so happy too, my child” she replied, shutting the door and walking over to offer Isabella a rickety chair that seemed to crumble under a slim weight. Isabella forced a smile. Ms Kamala is not fine, living like this. How can anyone be fine living in such a smelly environment and in a room that seems a little wider than a narrow corridor? “You’re a good woman, Ms Kamala,” Isabella replied. She sat down but of course with a conscious care. Falling and getting her designer
There was such silence in the office for some seconds, no one said a word to the other and Aiden said “You don't know Isabella now,huh Rian?” he retorted. He was disappointed at Rian's words. He suddenly doesn't know her again? “Are you going to force me to get to know her?” How can he know a woman who once ruined his career and almost sent him out of his lifelong career and investment. A woman who told him he should assume they never met. “You suddenly don't know her? How can you say that about the mother of your kids? You might not have dated but at least there were moments of…” Aiden was saying when Rian interrupted him. “Should I claim that I know her simply because we once fucked?” He demanded and Aiden fired back “Don't cut me off that way, I'm still talking” the two friends became upset with each other. “You're talking nonsense” Rian seethed “Dr Rian…” Isabella was saying when Rian interrupted her abruptly “I wasn't talking to you” with a sneer b
She sighed softly. She knew something might be rolling up the old man's sleeve. Otherwise, how can he willingly agree to help her Papa without a string attached. “He said he wants to marry a young, beautiful virgin in exchange. He would make her happy and give his entire property to her…”Jane
“It's nice working with Rian dear. You're going to have a great time there, especially since you were there before” Everlyn chimed, stretching her hand and taking Isabella's. She just wants her daughter to be happy, that's all. “Thank you, Rian,” Dustan appreciated. “You're welcome uncle
The excitement went on until they heard a car honk announcing the arrival of Ivara and her kids. Aiden was already seated at a corner with his friend discussing a certain business opportunity that just popped up on his desk that morning. He will be buying the company and asked if Rian would be
On the drive back to the hospital, Rodrigo's mind was on what Isabella told him last. She's Aiden's Graham's sister, the only sister amongst the three brothers. How unpredictable. Aiden and Rian are best friends, if he heard correctly, from childhood. He's sure he hadn't known who Aiden'
