Isabella heard Ruin's endless whimpers, the poor dog was in so much pain after being shot by Adams.Isabella crawled towards it, she was so afraid that he might die. She hugged the dog immediately. His blood smeared all over her what was remaining of her clothes.Isabella was almost naked, Adams really didn't have mercy on her. He would've had his way with her if Alex didn't arrive on time. When Alexander and Carlos entered the house, they noticed something strange.The living room was scattered as if someone had searched it. Some important places were also touched. Alex looked upstairs immediately."Find out who did this!" He declared and rushed upstairs to find Isabella…When he got there, he was welcomed by the pool of Ruin's blood on the floor. Alex almost panicked when he saw Isabella wrapped around his dog on the floor."Isabella…" he yelled out, rushing towards them. Alex pulled Isabella away from the dog and he hugged her. She shivered fearfully in his arms, crying profusely
Isabella woke up in the morning feeling sour all over. She was yet to open her eyes to see clearly. She moved on the bed, before stretching her hands out to hold Alex.Isabella's hand landed on the empty space on the bed and it made her realize that Alex wasn't in bed. Isabella's eyes sprang open immediately.Her heart thumped loudly inside her chest. "Where is he?" She asked herself, sitting upright and clutching on to the bedsheets.She wrapped the sheets around her body and stood up. Isabella managed to walk to.the wardrobe where she picked out one of Alex's shirts and wore it.The T-shirt was bigger, and it covered her body down to her knees. Isabella already expected it. It wasn't her first time wearing his clothes.She didn't bother to wear any underwear because she still felt sour.

When they left the hospital, Alex noticed that Isabella's mood changed throughout the ride. She was so quiet and she sighed continuously.Alex held her hand and pressed it slightly. "What's wrong?" He asked her.Isabella looked at him, she didn't know what to say to him, she felt so guilty for being unable to tell him that Adams was responsible for shooting Ruin.She pitied the dog and wanted it to get Justice. But that would only cause a rift between Alex and his nephew. Isabella decided to keep shut. "It's nothing" she quickly denied it.Alex didn't believe her but he had no reasons to doubt her either. "Are you sure about that?" He asked and she nodded.Alex didn't ask her anything anymore until they reached the villa. Isabella went to her bedroom to rest, while Alex went to his study room.

Isabella soon heard the message notifications on her phone.Adams sent her the messages containing the address and time. Isabella was stunned when she realized that she had less than fifteen minutes to meet him.She panicked, dropping a pile of documents on the floor. Isabella quickly braces herself up. She read his new message that came in. ‘Dress nicely ’Isabella frowned her face. What did he mean? Why does she have to dress nicely in order to see him?She ignored that and focused on packing up.

Isabella looked and realized that Alex was still inside his office but he was also working hard on his MacBook.She wanted to use this opportunity to go to
In the morning…Isabella woke up feeling a throbbing headache which almost sent her going crazy as it hit her. She held her head and rubbed her temples as she sat upright on the bed.She looked around the bedroom, it was Alex's room but she was alone in it. Where is he? She asked herself before getting to recall what had happened the previous night.Isabella had flashy memories about her moment with Alexander inside the car. It was so intriguing, yet embarrassing for her as she made the first move. Isabella was so ashamed, she thought about how to face him when he came in.Just as she was thinking about it, the door opened, revealing the most handsome nB she'd ever seen. Alexander walked inside with a tray. He made her breakfast and also coffee for hangovers."You're up early," he said.For Someone who got so wasted last night, he expected her to wake up at least 11 a.m. but it was just 9.Alex carefully kept the food on the drawer, while Isabella just watched him silently.

Alex walked Isabella towards his customized Mercedes Maybach, expensively designed to impress. She took her seat and he did the same.They were driven by Carlos to their location. Surprisingly when Isabella saw that it was the same salon where she had gotten humiliated previously, she frowned.Alex noticed, he grabbed her hand and pressed it slightly. "It's fine. No one can hurt you here now" he stated.He accompanied Isabella inside the salon. When they got inside, she noticed that the place was so much different from the last time. It seemed to have been renovated.Isabella loved how beautiful it looked now but that wasn't her problem, she didn't want to encounter the same girls she met previously."Can we leave? I don't think I wasn't going to get my hair done here." She said to him,"Relax Isabella, we aren't here to get your hair done. I have a business to take care of here " he explained. "Like I said, no one will speak to you rudely" Some renovations were still going on in the
After they arrived at the mansion, Alex got an urgent phone call which made him leave. He explained that he might take a long time to return and Isabella understood him.She would've gone with him, but he prefered not to get her involved in it. It was a family business.Isabella felt lonely when he left the mansion, she had to keep herself busy by doing something. And she chose baking.Isabella wasn't a good cook but her baking skills were good. She baked a lot of cookies and invited the workers in the mansion to eat with her."Hmmmm. It tastes so delicious" one of the maids complimented. Isabella was proud of herself, seeing the maids enjoy her snacks. She promised to prepare more for them.Isabella made some more, she kept them for Alex Incase he arrives later. He could eat them after his dinner.The whole day ended quickly and Alex was yet to return, Isabella was so worried. She had no clue as to where he went. She dialed his number several times but never got a response. Isabella
Isabella reached her bedroom and she had her door locked so that Alex wouldn't come in to meet her. It didn't take long before she heard a soft knock on the door."Isabella" he called out her name. "Open up," Alex demanded. When she didn't respond, the knocking came harder and louder.Alex soon realized that Isabella didn't want to open up on purpose. He was frustrated, he banged his fist hard on the door while calling her name. "Alexander, what do you want?" She asked him.He could hear her so he stopped, Alex breathed for a moment and then he spoke. "Isabella I didn't lie to you okay. I had a minor accident. But I'm fine now" he explained."Liar!""What's all this fuss about? Isabella, open up now or you won't like my reaction" Alex threatened.Isabella knew what he could do but she wasn't in the mood to speak with him. She just went to bed and laid there.Alex didn't knock on the door anymore so Isabella assumed that he left. "If you do not open up I will bring down this door" Ale
