Chapter 4_ Moving On

They rushed her to the hospital and the doctor did his job and several examinations were carried out on her.

After a while, the doctor arrived in the room.

"Excuse me Mr Hunt, can I see you in my office for a moment?" The doctor requested politely and Alex went instantly.

He was highly concerned about Isabella and especially after he found out that she had an overdose of aphrodisiac given to her the previous night.

Alex arrived in the office with the doctor. "Good day Mr Hunt" the doctor greeted him politely, and immediately he noticed that Alex wasn't the type to exchange pleasantries, he cut to the chase.

"I assume you already know about the overdose of drugs in her body?" He asked and Alexander nodded.

"Yes, I do," he answered briefly.

"I've had that threat and I gave her some injections already. She should be fine after a short rest" the doctor explained to him.

"Thank you,"

"I think it's still my duty as your doctor to advise that you don't use an aphrodisiac again on your girlfriend. She doesn't have a strong health system and might not survive another one" he explained.

"I understand doc.. I will take note on that"

After the discussion with the doctor, Alexander returned back to the hospital room. Even when Carlos informed him about several business meetings, he had them postponed.

He needed to be with his woman.

Isabella on the other hand woke up after ten minutes of Alex's return from the doctor's office.

Immediately she opened her eyes and saw Alex, Isabella's face dropped into a long frown. She couldn't just get why the whole event didn't become a dream.

Before she passed out, she wished that it was all a dream and she would wake up to meet her fiance. She just couldn't accept the fact that he betrayed her.

She was hurting inside and so uncomfortable. Seeing Alexander alone triggered her emotions. Isabella was forced to ignore the man and just focus on herself.

She tried to get up but he held and prevented her from doing so. "You can't get up," he said to her.

Isabella frowned at him. "Why is that?" She asked him.

"Because you haven't yet recovered, Isa…"

"That doesn't concern you. Please leave me alone Mr Hunt. Stay away from me!" She demanded.

Alex was disappointed in her reaction but he wouldn't blame her. She was still trying to get rid of the heartbreak she had just gotten.

He didn't want to push things further.

"I really wish that you can give me a chance to explain things to you, Bella. I didn't just decide last night that I wanted you. You heard it clearly yourself, Adams set you up with me" Alex said, explaining things to her.

Isabella fumed. "I do not care, Alex. You slept with me without my consent. I will never forgive you for that. You are both the same despicable human beings, leave my room now" she yelled out angrily at him.

"Fine!" Alexander was fed up.

"Have it your way, Isabella. You have just three days to pay back my money or you become my woman until I want to let you go" he declared.

Isabella ignored him until he left the ward. Carlos walked in a few minutes later with some fruits and food which Alex had ordered for her.

She dared not eat them, she was already owing him a lot of money. Isabella wondered how she was going to pay and get her liberty from these men

Carlos also left the room, only to return later that evening when she got discharged from the hospital. He cleared her bills and left.

Isabella changed from the patient gown to her dress and she went after him as he left.

"Hey, wait!" She called out to him.

Carlos stopped as she had ordered.

"What do you want, Miss Suarez?" He asked.

"I do not have anywhere to go," Isabella revealed.

All these years, she had lived with Adams in the mansion, she didn't have to go through any trouble of getting an apartment, she also didn't have the money to rent one.

Ever since she graduated, Isabella.had been jobless and hoping to get a job soon so she could support herself in little ways she can.

Adams had deceived her for so many years with his empty promises. He vowed to get her a job at his uncle's company after they get married and Isabella has been looking forward to it.

"I'll go with you" she stated, sighing deeply. It was a huge decision for her but she had no choice. Isabella had nowhere to go. She wasn't able to get her luggages from the Hunt's Villa either.

Carlos opened the door for her and she entered the car.

They arrived at the mansion minutes later. "I will like to see Mr Hunt, if you don't mind" she requested.

Carlos took out his mobile phone and made a brief phone call. "He's in the study room. Come, I'll take you to meet him" he beckoned and she went with him.

Isabella was a bit reluctant but she had no choice. She already lost her boyfriend, she dared not allow herself to become homeless. It'll only make her lose from both ends.

Right now, the only person who she could turn to was Mr Hunt and that was what she's doing at the moment. But she was skeptical about it.

They arrived in front of the study room and Isabella was urged to go inside to meet Alexander. With great reluctance, Isabella clenched her fist tightly on the door knob, sighed deeply before opening.

As soon as she stepped inside, her eyes darted to the other side of the study room where Alexander was sitting on his desk, working on his MacBook.

Isabella Walked inside to meet him. She stood near his desk. Alex acted as if he didn't see her come in at first, he pretended and continued to carry out his work until she called out to him.

"I'll like to discuss something with you, Mr Hunt" Isabella said,

Alex then acknowledged her. He removed his glasses and kept them on top of his desk, pushed his chair backwards, the wheels made it easier for him.

"Sit" he ordered her. She took the seat opposite his desk.

"What do you want us to discuss?" He asked Isabella.

"I need a job in your company " Isabella stated, Alex was stunned but he tried to put on a straight face.

"A job you say?" He asked and she nodded.

"Yes, I need a job. And a place to stay"

"You already have a place to stay. Right here in my mansion and there's no way you can reject that, Bella."

"Why? Why can't I reject it if I want to?" Bella asked with an angry tone.

"Because you are mine now. And no woman of mine will live outside my Villa" He declared coldly, picking up an object to fidget with his hands.

Bella clenched her fist, she wanted to reply to him but at the same time she was at his mercy. She didn't want to screw things up.

"Fine, I'll live here. Will you give me the job?"

Alex paused the fidgeting movement and kept the tool back on his desk, he pushed his seat forward.

"What are your qualifications?"

"I can submit my C.V to you right now if you want."

"Desperate, huh?"

"I'm not desperate. I need to pay you your money and earn a living"

Alex arched his brow when he heard what she said. She needed the job so that she could leave him once she raised enough money. It'll be interesting so he'll love to see her try.

"Fine."

Isabella stood up and wanted to leave, however, Alexander wouldn't let her escape that fast. He got up quickly, grabbed and pulled her closer to himself.

Isabella tried to struggle, but Alexander Hunt had the upper hand. He pushed her on his desk and she sat down on it. Her golden blonde hair got disheveled during the act.

He leaned closer to her, moving his lips near her face, Isabella looked away and his lips fell on her cheek.

"You're pretty…" He complimented.

Isabella was only filled with disgust for him. "Mr Hunt, this is inappropriate" she tried to maintain a distance by moving backwards on his desk.

"Shh… don't move" Alex said to her. He noticed there was a little commotion ongoing outside his study room.

The door pushed open afterwards and the man revealed himself. Adams Hunt had been trying to see his uncle after the incident that day, he needed to explain things to him. He'd never want to be on the bad side of the great Alexander Hunt who held all the keys to the Hunt family companies.

Adams was shocked by the position he met Alexander and his Ex-Fiancee in. He never expected that Isabella would move on fast and cling onto his uncle that quickly.
