ISABELLA
"Bella, hurry up!" Ethan yelled from downstairs. I wore my uniform that he had picked up from the family drycleaner. It's dark green suit and white t-shirts with green check printed mini skirt and a tie.
"I'm coming" I put in my black high boots. I decided to let my hair down, I put on my glasses. I grab my purple backpack and rushed downstairs. I rushed to the kitchen and grab an apple and banana.
I head out towards his car and get into the passenger seat. "You're always late" he said. I look at my lap.
"Well, girls have a lot to do than guys" I explained. He rolled his eyes.
"Give me a break" he starts the engine before speeding towards the auto gate. It opens and he drove out. He turns on the stereo. "I won't be home after school, later you can come and get transport fair from me" he said.
"Where are you going?" I asked him. He sigh.
"Well, I have to go grocery shopping remember? We are running out of food" he said. I nod. "Dad wired me money, they'll be back by Sunday" he added.
We reached Greenfield Royal Highschool and as usual, girls cheers as we reached the parking lot. Ethan is one of the popular guys in school. We got out of the car and girls were all over him, pushing me at the process.
Someone covers my eyes. From the scent, I already know who it was. "Katie" I grin, she let go of my eyes, I turn around and hug her.
"Hey Bell" it's been so long. I pulled away and hit her shoulder.
"I've been trying to reach you for a while now" I pout and whine. She wince.
"Ouch, my parents seized my phone for the holidays, my whole technology device were gone" she said sadly.
"Why, let me guess, your step brother" I guessed.
"Stop calling him my step brother......" Her cheeks hit up. "He always bully me" she sighs.
"Okay, let's go in, we have assembly now" I said. We entered the hall way together, walking towards the school hall. We took a seat at the back and Nina soon joined us.
"Good morning everyone" the principal, Mr Jalen greets.
"Good morning, Mr Jalen" everyone replies.
"It's so good to see you back to school again. I hope you all enjoyed your holiday. The theme for this semester is hard work and success. We most work hard......." He spoke. My eyes roam around at every till my eyes fell on him..... Quincy. He was scrolling on his phone while a girl from his class lie on his shoulder.
I recognize that girl from Saturday night. "What are you looking at?" Nina whispered into my ears before following my gaze. She sighs. "Bell" she called.
"She's still on that dude?" Katie asked and I'm guessing she rolled her eyes. Sometimes, I don't understand myself, why can't I listen to my friends, I mean, the guy doesn't even noticed me and even if he did, he doesn't like me the same way.
And Ethan, I wouldn't want him to be disappointed in me. I already made a promise to him. "You're all dismissed, you can head to your classes" Mr Jalen concluded and everyone applauded for him.
I tilt my glasses as students got up from their seats and start heading to the entrance. I saw Quincy also following behind. Am I dreaming when he looks at me, a sly smile made it's way to his lips.
I must be dreaming, it was all happening in slow motion. I slowly watch as he walks towards the entrance till he was totally out.
"Bell...... Bell!" Nina yelled. I snapped out of it and look at her. "Stop day dreaming and let's go" she added before pushing me. The bell rang for first period so we rushed towards the hall, our locker was at the other side of the hall, so we had to run down the hall. I ended up bumping into a wall.
"Ouch!" I wince before continuing my mission but the wall ended up pulling me back. My chest landed on someone's chest. I look up and that mint and sandalwood smell made my legs weak.
"No running down the hall Issy" Quincy said. "Why in such a hurry?" He asked with a little frown on his face. Senior alert! That's what we call it when we the juniors get caught by the seniors.
"Sorry, my locker was far at the end....." I look down. "And the bell had be rang" I said with that annoying tiny voice that I have.
I felt his cold index finger on my chin, nudging my head up. His hands went up to my eyes and fix my falling glasses. I felt like I was about to burst. Quincy Grey is fixing my glasses. That's so hot.
He lets go. "All better" he smirks. "You should get going, you won't want to be late for class, will you?" He asked. Good gracious, he's so tall. I shake my head.
I look at him one last time before rushing towards my locker. I opened it with my code which is Quincy's birthday. I grab my English textbook and rushed to class.
"Ms Austin, you're late" Mr Elvis, our English teacher starts. "You know how important English is to us" he said. I nod.
"I'm so sorry Mr Elvis, it won't happen again" I said before rushing towards my seat at the back.
"So..... adjective......"
"So, what happened?" Nina whispered. "We saw you and Quincy" she added.
"Nothing much, he just asked why I was speeding, then he held my chin and fixed my glasses" I tilted my head and say in a dreamy tone.
"He did that?" Katie asked. I nod my head. "Playboy-ish. Don't fall for it..... Caleb does that kind of things to girls he brings over for sex" she frown. How do I know all this things. I mean, he just seems nice to me.
"Maybe she's just his best friend's sister" Nina concluded.
QUINCY
"Mr Grey, it's time for school, you don't want to be late, sir" my butler, Chris shakes me, even after the disturbing alarm ringing into my ears.
I groan. "I don't wanna go" I whine. I hate my sleep being disturbed. Normally, I get off my round bed when I feel like it.
Now my eyes are fucking open. He hands me my usual blended date fruit drink. I drink out of it. Mom always gave it to me every morning since I was four and she told me never to stop.
I got off my bed and grab my remote to turn the bed around to the other side but Chris stopped me. "Sir, I need to dress the bed, I'll handle it, so just go take your bath" he grab the remote.
I sigh before grabbing my phone. "Is my uniform ready?" I asked. I noticed tons of messages on my phone.
{Hey Quincy, are you coming to school today?}
{Hey handsome, I'll be waiting for you baby} I rolled my eyes at that message.
I ignored the rest. "Yes sir" he replied. The auto dresser opens, revealing the maniquin dressed in my uniform. "Should I take it off, the tailor did a very good job" he smirks.
"Sure" I replied before walking into my en suit bathroom, I double clap my hands for the light to come on. I noticed he had gotten my bath ready. I strip off my clothes.
Yesterday was really nasty of me, I fucked two whöres last night at the same time and I was up all night at the club, now I feel sleepy. I got into the tub and relax in the warm water. The tub had a wooden table fixed at the side.
Chris came in with a bowl of strawberries and grapes. He placed it on it with a glass of orange juice. "Your Monday breakfast, sir" he said. I smiled at him. I grab a strawberry and took a bite off it.
"Tasty. Thanks Chris. Can you tell my Aunty that I need some of my money? I hate talking to her" I said. He nod.
"That won't be a problem" he replied before walking out. My Aunty Caroline, after the death of my parents, their will and inheritance were pushed over to me alone, but because I was still a kid, it was to be controlled by my aunt till I'm twenty. Now I have to ask her for money as if it was hers.
After I was done bathing, I took a quick shower to rinse up my body. Chris has been taking care of me since I was seven. He has always been adding sandalwood oil into my bathtub, and got me the same expensive mint essentials with almond cologne.
I dry myself with with towel along with my hair. I had to use the almond milk lotion Chris got for me, saying it was good for my already beautiful skin.
I exit the bathroom, I don't want to go to school but because of Chris scolding, I have no choice. He's like a father to me and Nina is like my little sister, I would do anything for them, she lost her mother two years ago.
I wore my trouser and shirt. Chris helps me with my tie and suit jacket, I styled my dark hair my normal way after adding some moisturizer. I wore my black and white sneakers.
"I've arranged everything into your backpack, your laptop, phone, textbook" he listed. I nod.
"Thank you" I grab the black backpack and hang it at my back.
"Which car would you like to use today?" He asked. I place my finger tip on my chin. What car? What car.
"I think the black Bugatti Veyron" I smirk. I grab the key to my car keys room. I grab my Bugatti key and head down the spiral stairs. I could sell this house but it's memory of my parents. It's where I belong.
"Have a good day sir" he bid. I wave before leaving the house. I head to the garage. I am s big fan of cars, I have about thirty five cars in this garage. Don't blame me, I just really like it. I quickly found the baby I was looking for.
I opened the car and the door starts going up, I got in and start the engine while the door closes back.
The car roars, I speed out of the garage, straight to the auto gate. I rushed into the street and drove to school. As soon as I made it, it's like the whole school was waiting for me. The whole girls and some guys cheers as they surround my car. I sigh and my car alarm went on due to the way they were against my car.
They moved away a little. I got out of the car and some girls walks up to me and held me. I was so confident in myself and I'm in love with danger cause that's me.
I wrapped my arms around the girls as we walk into the house. They don't know the real me, not even my best friend Ethan know how I feel all the times. I'm alone and my own person. That's how I want it to be, I'm not weak and there's no one in this world will understand me.
I met Ethan, Caleb and Edward at the assembly hall. "What's up dude" Caleb shakes my hand and nudges my shoulder with his.
"Hey Quincy" Ethan smirks.
"Let me guess, you woke up late" Edward states. I rolled my eyes. I noticed Kelly was here with her two best friends in our class.
"Hi Quincy" she has been on me for years now. She's a good fuck and nothing else, but I can't tell her that since I'm not done with her. The principal starts talking. It's always like this every morning.
When he was done, we all got up, then I noticed Ethan's little sister with Nina and Katie. I smiled at her before walking off. I quickly got my textbook.
I heard running in the hall. I noticed Katie and Nina but Issy ended up bumping into me. "Ouch!" She wanted to keep running, thinking I was a wall.... Wait, if it was a wall, would she had keep running.
I grab her forearm and pull her back. She looks up at me. Wow.....she's soft. "No running down the hall Issy" Quincy said. "Why in such a hurry?" I asked with a little frown on my face.
"Sorry, my locker was far at the end....." She looks down. "And the bell had be rang" she said with that cute tiny voice that she has. Adorable.
I lift her face up with my index finger on her chin, nudging her head up. I noticed her glasses weren't fixed properly so my hands went up to her eyes and fix her falling glasses. She squirm a little.
"All better" I smirks. "You should get going, you won't want to be late for class, will you?" I asked. She's the shortest girl I've seen so far. She shakes her head.
She look at me one last time before rushing towards her locker. So cute.
ISABELLA ****TEN YEARS LATER****I get why people prefer their kids in school for a long time. So they can have a peace of mind. Like the way I was before my kids driver brings them back from school. Kim and Kyrie walked into the house bickering about only God knows what. Kim is twelve now and Kyrie is Nine years old. Kai isn't back from school yet. He's eighteen now.I sigh. They both looked at me before rushing towards me. "Mom, Kyrie called a kid fat, she was body shaming" Kim said."Mom, Kim farted in the cafeteria" Kim retorted. It's been like this now ten years now since Quincy and I got married. Everything has been going well though. "You both should stop bickering, Kyrie, Kim is older sister, don't talk to her that way" I said to them. Kyrie squeezes her face. "You guys need to shower, then come down for lunch, okay?" I said. They just walked out on me. I sigh. "You guys better hurry up, Kai is babysitting tonight" I said. They both groan as they make the
ISABELLA "Isabella! Isabella! Wake up!" I could hear mom's voice but the sleep in my eyes was taking over me. I don't really want to wake up right now, I'm too exhausted for that. My body needs a lot of rest, it's like I should sleep on this bed for the rest of my life but I'm just wishing for death. I wonder why this woman is waking me right now, can't she see I don't want to wake up.I grab the blanket and cover my face. I heard a hiss. I pout my lips and when the sleep was about to take over, she pulled the covers off. I whine. "Get your ass up, you're getting married" it's like my body reacted to her words so quick that I sat up immediately and look around me. I looked at the time, it was five minutes to eight. What the fuck am I still doing on this fucking bed. A maid rushed in with a plate of pancakes and orange juice. I quickly started eating."Mom, why didn't you wake me earlier?" I asked. She scoff. I quickly finished the food and got out of the bed and rushed towards my b
A MONTH LATERCALEBI knew she wanted to surprise me, but I wanted to see so badly so I decided to surprise her. She's home, Lily is inside the house in front of me. I slowly open the door and quietly entered. I head upstairs, her scent lingered in the air. I pulled out the velvet box from my pocket and walked upstairs toward her room. I took a deep breath and open the door. "Welcome bac-" my words were cut of and my smile falls. Lilly was on top of a guy. She quickly got off him. The box in my hold falls to the ground. I stepped back in shock. "Caleb......I thought you went for a trip before I arrived and......" She trailed up when she realized her excuse is stupid. I turn around and rushed out of the room, I rushed downstairs, straight out of the house. I entered my car and drove off. I chuckled unbelievably. I can't believe she cheated, the sweet Lily I know is cheating on me right before I almost proposed to her. I was so foolish.I don't know, but my car took me to Katie's d
ISABELLA Why does he work here. I never imagined Jeremy to own a stadium. But I was enjoying the sight of the whole place. It had a plaza, a gym, mall, spa, and many more. I waited at the reception for him. The lady behind the counter which I assumed was the receptionist said he's very busy and I can't meet with him but I'm not giving up now.I looked at my watch and tap my feet. I've been here for more than an hour and this place is fucking big. I'll just have to wait till he comes out.Few hours went by, I got a call from Quincy. "Hey" I said tiredly."What are you still doing?" He asked."I haven't seen him yet. I'm still at the reception waiting for him but there's no sign of him......" I looked around, then I noticed a feature that looks like Jeremy but it was him. "I'll call you back, I think I just saw him" I hung up and stood up, rushing towards him. He was with many bodyguard. I rushed passed them but they held me back. "Jeremy" I called. "Please, I just want to talk to him
ISABELLAAfter having ice cream, we head back to the office and another surprise was here. Confetti everywhere along with balloons and a banner that says 'Congratulations'. "Congratulations!" Everyone exclaimed. Quincy smiled at them. Chris walked up to us with a grain. "Congrats boss, congrats Isabella" he hugs us both. I grin at him. I'm so happy right now. Now I know what it feels to be engaged. It's so exciting, it's like moving into a new level that you are yet to see, like a completely different word. It's just like it was yesterday we met again and I'm already engaged. KATIEI've been working non stop in this hospital, I just want a promotion or something. "Katie, please check on the patient in room seven" the doctor said."Yes sir" I replied, heading to the room. I picked up my pace, I don't want a situation that a patient needs help and I'm not able to make it there on time. I knock on the door then opened it. I shut the door behind me and face the patient. But then, I be
ISABELLAI thought he was taking me home but he was only taking me to his house. Why is taking me to his house? I stood in front of the living room, wondering what I was doing here.Till I finally got the courage to ask. "What am I doing here?" I asked him. He sat on the couch and stare at me with his leg on his lap. He looks so relax. "Let's go on a date after your brother's wedding" he blurted. This guy is just filled with surprises today. I wonder what have gotten into that head of his."W-why d-do you wanna go on a date with me?" Why did I ask that question. He raised a brow at me. Ms Mary walks over to get the kids. "Sit down cupcake" he said. I sigh and took a seat necks to him. "I thought about what you said this morning" he said. My heart beat increases. "I want to start all over again" he added. I smiled. "Really?" I said excitedly. He eyes me. I know he still has feelings for me. "But....." I frown immediately. "But what?" He asked. I sigh. "Do you love me?" I asked. Th
ISABELLAI never thought that that's what is on my mind for so long. Like I've always dreamt of getting married to him. I looked at him with widened eyes. He was also shocked with what I said. He chuckles. "Like, after everything, you think that I'll actually marry you?" He asked. That hurts a lot. He noticed it. "For fucking three years, Isabella. Even if you hated me, I still deserved to know that I have a child but you selfishly kept her away from me." He said. "Forgive me" I said."Take a day off, I'm not going to work anyways. See you tomorrow" Kate came out with Kim's Pink bag. "Everything she needs is in here" she handed it to him. Quincy gave me a glance before walking off. I followed behind him down the stairs. Mom walked up to us. "Are you..... taking her with you?" She asked worriedly. "Yes, I want to get to know my daughter" he smiled, looking at Kim that was sucking her thumb. Mom smiled at him and nod. "I'm sorry if I caused a lot of disturbance last night" he apolo
QUINCYAs soon as I got home, Kai got of his seat happily to come and hug me. I sigh with a smile. He had food in his mouth. We walked back to the living room. "Why so happy?" I asked. He grin at me, this kid."Because my uncle is my best friend" he said excited. "And, I have a sister" he spilled. What's this kid talking about now. "A sister......" I raised a brow. He nods. "Yeah, okay" I said, about to walk away but his words stopped me."She two years old and she leaves with mom" he said. It's not really possible, did she tell him that? "Who told you that?" I asked. He looks away from me."Anthony?" He said. I rolled my eyes, that jokester? He may probably be teasing him. I sigh and nod before walking towards the kitchen. Kai was following me, why is he following me? "So.....when are we going to meet my little sister?" He asked. I sigh and looked at the kid."There's no sister, son. Anthony was just messing around with you. Forget it" I said. It's really upsetting. I know that I w
ISABELLAHonestly, I couldn't imagine myself in a restaurant with Quincy as we wait for the Harry James he was talking about. He gave me some work to do when I was thinking it'll just be a peaceful brunch. I was filling some paperwork, it's actually his work not mine. I got tired and placed my head on the table. "Are you trying to sleep at work hours?" He snapped me back up. I eyed him with a glare."You should be happy I'm doing your work for you" I hissed. I grab the paper in my hold."Maybe you don't get what it means by assistant. You are to do whatever I ask for" he replied. I scoffed. So annoying. A man walks into the restaurant, he started looking around till his eyes landed on Quincy. He smiled before walking towards us. "Mr Grey" he spoke. Quincy looks up at him, he stood up and so did I. "Mr James, it's good to see you again" they shake hands. I smiled at the good looking man. "This is my assistant, Isabella Austin" Quincy introduced. I Shaked his hand."It's nice to mee
