CARLAI think tonight, I need to pamper myself with a lot of movies. I made the popcorn and placed it on the table. I head to the bedroom to grab a blanket. The blanket was close to the window, but then I heard a sound, that's not a sound of cats or dogs. I look through the window. I noticed two men dressed in all black were outside the outside, holding knife.I rushed out of the room but gently so I won't alert them. I grab my phone and purse, there was a safe attic close to the main entrance. I rushed over to it and open it. I slowly crawled my way into it before shutting the door. I heard the front door open, I close my eyes, trying to be calm. I noticed the way they walked on top on the entrance to this attic. Just give them fifteen more steps. One. Two. Three.I kept listening to their footsteps in order to know when I'll get out and run through the front door.Twelve. Thirteen. Fourteen. Fifteen. I took a deep breath before swiftly opening the attic and dart out of the attic
ISABELLA***A MONTH LATER*** It's been a month now, it's been a month now, yes, a month now and I haven't seen Quincy. I have no idea where he went to. They say he usually gets private lectures from professor. But I haven't seen him for about four weeks now. He left me guilty and feeling worried, he knows how worried I can be but he decided to play it on me. It's eating me right now. I want to see him right now. I couldn't believe I got myself fooled. I think I was really naive back then. I easily get fooled and now I feel like a mess without him here. He did keep the guards to watch over me but I still want him to. I don't want any protections except for his. I miss his touch, his kisses, his warmth and hug. His warm beautiful smile. I sigh. Why is life so hard right now. I've been going through depression. I only have focus on my study but when it comes to anything else, it's as if I don't even exist again. I feel like I'm not living anymore, I'm weak and I feel really troubled.
ISABELLAI slowly followed behind him towards the bedroom. I entered the room after him. He looks around the room till his eyes falls on me. "What do you want to talk about?" I noticed how calm he was trying to maintain himself. He stood there, waiting for me to say for me to say something. I only stood there, staring at him. "Say something" he said. I snapped out of whatever I was in. Honestly, I need to work on myself when I'm next to him. It's as if during a serious moment, I end up being not serious. "I'm so sorry" I spoke. He looks at me like he's really interested in what I have to say. "I know I've hurt you and I meant every thing I said but it's not my fault. Our past..." I trailed off with a sigh."I thought you wanted to forget about the past" he asked. "You keep lying to yourself, and to me too" he said. I sigh. It's true. I don't really know why I keep bringing up the past in everything. "Can we start over?" I asked in a low tone. He stares at me, he sigh. He run his
MAXWELLI feel much better after telling Quincy everything that day. Honestly, I'm never this bad guys. I'm always good to people. I feel like I've done good by telling him. At least Isabella will be safe with him. I can tell that he cares a lot about her even if he doesn't love her. Isabella deserves the best. I turn to my right as a guy sat next to me. We were in the cafeteria. "Hey" he said. I look him up and down, he looks hot though."Hi" I replied. He scoot closer to me, his breath fanning my face. "Why are you alone on this table?" He asked. I look up, around me, noticing that some group of people were laughing at me. Then I soon realized that he just came from that table. I quickly stood up but he pulls me back down. "Ouch!" I winced. He squeeze my arm. "Don't you remember? You owe me something" he whispered into my ear. Ugh, I have literally never seen this dude in my life."Max" I look up to the voice talking to me. The other guy let go of my arm before getting up. I lo
ISABELLAIt's been a week now since all that incident happened. I can't believe Quincy's aunt is dead. I mean, it was actually self defense. There was a trial three days ago and court finalized it as self defense. Quincy on the other hand was very lucky he wore a bulletproof vest. He got really lucky, the doctor said he has a strong body. Things has been normal and easygoing for the past few days. Quincy and I have been going on date, trying to start things out with our lives. Sometimes, I wonder how he was able to do everything. He only ask me that day not to go home and that's what I did. The next thing I heard was that he was in a hospital while I was in a hotel. The news soon came out that Carla Grey died. I'm not a bad person but I'm happy she's gone. At least we can have a good life together. As for Sofia, Quincy wanted to act like he didn't know she was involved in all those wicked act of hers. But I know she's not gonna back off that easily. I smiled. I just keep smiling.
ISABELLA***FOUR YEARS LATER***It's been stressful for me this past few days. I'm writing my final exams before graduation. It has not been easy for me. "I'm so stressed out" Gia groan. We all are. I notice Nika walking into the house looking stressed out. "Hey Nika" Gia said. Nika grumbles and walked towards the couch. She flops right next to me. "We need alcohol in this house. Call Quincy" she insisted. I rolled my eyes.Quincy owns a penthouse close by, he said he wants to be with me till I graduated. I can't wait to go back home. I miss mom and dad. The last time I went back, they went on a vacation with Anthony."I just want to close my eyes for just some minutes" I said to them. They both groan out. We are all in the same situation right now..... so much work on our head. I jerk up, alert. "But I need to study" I frown."Me too" they both whine. I sigh. I can't wait for this next week to be over with. The front door opens. Quincy, Stephen and Sofia walks in..... Sofia? Why th
ISABELLAI can't believe it, I can't believe that I'm finally done with exams. I'm a graduate..... although I have graduated yet but still, I'm done. "Hey" Nika came over to me, smiling. She's so happy to. I hugged her and we both giggled. "I can not believe all this" she said excitedly. "Where's Gia?" I asked. "She said Minho is back" she replied. Every single person in our year were all overjoyed. I noticed far ahead was Quincy standing there with a poster that says 'congratulations, my princess!' aww. That's really sweet of him. I rushed over to him and hug him.He's getting bigger than before. He's covering my whole body with just his arms. "You smell so fucking good" I said. He chuckles. "I have something good waiting for you in the car. C'mon" he pulled me by the wrist towards his black sport car. I got in and gasp when I saw something really good. "Is that......" I trailed off as I picked up the book. I flip through the pages. I gasp as I noticed the picture from the beginn
ISABELLAWhy? for a day now, I've been feeling weird, weak, tired. I don't even know what's wrong with me anymore. I keep throwing up my guts which is oddly strange. Nika said I should make sure it's not....... you know? Pregnancy. She went to get me a pregnancy test. I rolled my eyes at it. I can't be pregnant. I always take my pills when he doesn't use protection. But right now I'm getting worried. It's always in the morning. I think they call it the morning sickness. I waited in the bathroom as she helped me open the pack. She hands me the stick thingy. "Urinate in this cup and put it in. After that, you'll wait for five minutes. When you see a red line, it's negative but if you see two blue lines.....you know what it means" she instructed. I took a deep breath before nodding.She smiles at me before walking out of the bathroom. I took two minutes to think about what I'm about to do. Where do I start from if it's positive. I hope it's not positive. I did as she asked and waited
