ANMELDEN~ISLA~ I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing nonstop. Jaxon groaned beside me as he turned his back on me.“I’m sorry” I murmured softly before picking up my phone.It was Serena.“Hello…”“Check the internet Isla, Aiden is in fucking trouble” I asked as I placed her loud speaker so I could check the internet while talking to her.“Apparently, they said he had a hand in the death of your adoptive brother” She said and I gasped.“You’ve got to be joking” I uttered as Jaxon sat up beside me.“I’m not, there’s video evidence. Diamond Enterprise is closed for the day and I heard that they are having him investigated” She told me and I gasped as I read through the head lines.How could Aiden have a hand in Nicholas’ death?“Everyone is speculating now that he had him killed because he wants to be CEO. Just how far is he willing to go?” Serena said like she had read my mind.“He’s getting what he deserves,” Jaxon uttered beside me. “ Now can I sleep? We still need to go find a new a
~JAXON/RONAN~ We were both quiet for a while as Isla just stared at me.“Say something please” She murmured after a while.“I’m angry that you’d think I’d judge you for protecting yourself. Who do you think I am?” I asked and she pursed her lips.“I killed someone…”“You didn’t do it on purpose, Isla. There is a fucking difference. God, I’m even worried about you and how you were able to move past that” I uttered as I stared at her.Isla looked too fragile and delicate for the things the Andersons had put her through as a kid. What the hell?“I was depressed for years and no one even cared. Serena was the one who helped me out of my depressive state and she doesn’t even know it” She explained and I sighed before reaching out to touch her cheek.“Anyone who judges you for defending yourself is an idiot, Isla. It wasn’t your fault, you shouldn’t feel bad about it. It was self defense” I told her and she sighed.“ I know but I still killed someone and if the truth were to come out, I’d
~JAXON/RONAN~ I watched Isla from the corner of my eye as I spoke to the landlord. She was just sitting by the corner with her hands on her laps and a frown on her face.“The money will be sent to your account. You don’t have to worry about that but next time, even though there won’t be a next time, do not raise your voice at her. Your building was a dump anyway” I told the landlord before walking towards Isla.She stood up as soon as she saw me approaching her.“What did he say? How much is he asking for?” She asked and I shook my head as I made her sit back down.“Don’t stress yourself over that, I’ve spoken to him and he understands that it wasn’t your fault” I told her and she frowned.“Wasn’t it? Maybe we left something on?…”“No Isla, we didn’t. The fire fighters said the fire started from a candle that was placed near the curtains. First of all, you hardly turn on your candles and secondly, you didn’t use any candles this morning nor would you ever place it by the curtains. T
~ISLA~ “That was one of the scariest moments of my life” I said to Jaxon as we walked into the ice cream parlor.“You don't have to be scared, he's just a big bully with no substance” Jaxon uttered as we walked towards the counter.“One jumbo size cup of vanilla ice cream please” I told the person behind the counter then pulled out my card to pay but Jaxon already handed her the money in cash.“Hey! Need I remind you, I'm a millionaire now?” I whispered and he chuckled.“You can be a billionaire and I would still buy things for you. Besides, this is my way of saying congratulations to you for signing such a contract” He murmured and my heart swelled as I stared at him before I wrapped my arms around him.“It's all thanks to you, Jaxon. I truly believe that you're my Good luck charm. None of this would have been possible without you” I told him and he shook his head.“Isla…”“I truly believe that if you hadn't come into my life, I would never have risen. I would have still remained
~ISLA~ I ended up signing the contract even though my hand shook in my process but I did it and I couldn't be happier.Finally, my future was looking bright again and I couldn't wait to get started on the designs. I assured Mr Lowe that I would be done with them within those three months.I didn't outright accept the house and the car because that just felt way too much but I told him I was going to think about it.Jaxon didn't understand what I had to think about but he nevertheless didn't force me to accept them.After that, we left and I basically skipped all the way to the cab while Jaxon chuckled behind the.“Are you that happy, Isla?” He asked and I nodded.“Who wouldn't be happy if they were in my shoes. I'll have financial freedom, Jaxon. Do you know what that Means?” I asked as we got into the cab.“What I do know is that you're still going to shop at your little thrift stores,” He replied and I grinned.“You know me so well” I replied and he rolled his eyes.“To Diamond En
~ISLA~ Walking intoPierces's holdings felt like a whole new world.Everyone just looked extremely well taken care of and had smiled on their faces Back at Diamond Enterprise, it was hard for anyone to smile.Not to talk of the modern infrastructures. The people at Pierce's holding were living in the future already.“I feel so out of place here. How are you so comfortable?” I asked as I glanced around.Even the lobby smelled fancy.“Because I'm always comfortable" He replied casually and I rolled my eyes.We finally got to the Receptionist and she flashed us a welcoming smile.“Welcome to Pierce holdings, Mr and Miss. Do you have any appointments?” She asked and I was momentarily stunned.The receptionist back at Diamond Enterprise barely acknowledged anyone.“They are with me” I turned towards the voice and was surprised to see Mr Lowe walking towards us.“Good day, Mr Lowe” The Receptionist greeted As she bowed her head and I immediately followed her then tapped Jaxon and motioned
~ISLA~The mall was loud and bright with people walking all around as we walked in.A smile adorned my face as I looked around. I always loved the mall for some reason.It was like an escape whenever I was here.“What are we doing here?” Jaxon asked, turning my attention to him.“I'm getting you ne
~ISLA~ I tightened my grip on my bag as I took it as I walked over to the door.I hated that I was here.I haven't been here since the day I caught him and Cassandra and I was still reeling till this day.“In and out, Isla. You won't take too long in here” I muttered as I got on the porch but b
~ISLA~ I cleared my throat as I pushed the door open and walked into my small apartment. Jaxon walked in behind me and I immediately noticed he looked too big for my small space. “You've been here before but… yeah, this is where I live” I muttered as I watched Him walk around.There wasn't tha
~JAXON/RONAN~ “Boss!”I didn't open my eyes as I laid my head on the cold concrete wall behind me.“Boss!” I let out a groan as soon as I heard Louis’ voice from down the hall, echoing through the cell walls.“Boss…”“Can you fucking shut your mouth. I'm not your boss outside, remember?” I mutte
