ログイン~ISLA~ The next few days went by in a blur. After submitting my design to Cassandra, she didn't even hide the fact that she was stealing my design as she wrote her signature down on it.That had dampened my mood but then I remembered Jaxon's plan.The day we were supposed to meet with this very important Investor finally came and my nerves were eating me up as I stared at myself in the mirror.What if I didn't even have the chance to carry out Jaxon's plan?“Relax Isla. You're stiff” Jaxon pointed out as he stood behind me.“Today is going to determine if I can finally rise a little bit or if I'm still going to remain where I am. I have every reason to be nervous” I muttered and he sighed before placing his hands on my shoulders and slowly massaging it.“Relax. You've got this and besides, I'll be there, okay?” He assured me and I smiled. I found out last minute that it was going to be an open evaluation so anyone could watch and the fact that Jaxon was going to be there made me rel
~ISLA~ After lunch, Jaxon and I went to work like we intended.The weather was cool and people weren't as much as they were the last time I was here but the few that were there couldn't stop staring at us…well not us, Jaxon.“He's so handsome”“Is he a model?”“I don't know but he looks famous. Maybe we should ask him for a photo”“The girl next to him is glaring at us” One of the women said as she gave me a pointed look and I huffed before turning to Jaxon who seemed oblivious to the attention he was getting.“I think we should go home” I muttered and he turned to me.“Why? We just got here” He stated and I pursed my lips before leaning closer to him.“Everyone is staring at you. Isn't it uncomfortable?” I asked and he shrugged.“I'm used to it. Do you know how many stares I get while you're at work?” He asked with a raised eyebrow and I scoffed.“I don't like it, let's go” I muttered as I grabbed his hand but before I could pull him away, one of the women ran up to us and her fri
~ISLA~ “I want to ask you a question” I stated as I took another bite of the sandwich in front of me. We were in a small diner near the park.“What is it?” He asked and I observed how laid back he looked at that moment. For some reason, I knew Jaxon was going to come for me today so I wasn't shocked to see him, I was shocked that he was able to get through.When I told him I trusted him earlier, I meant every word. He may be harsh and cold sometimes but he has protected me more than anyone has ever done in my life.I try my best not to depend on anyone because people always end up being disappointing but would it be wrong to depend on him?“You're spacing out, Isla” He pointed out and I cleared my throat.“I've been wondering where you keep getting money from. I can't remember the last time I paid for a cab and now this? I don't recall ever paying you” I stated and he scoffed.“Maybe you should with how many times I have to save you” He said and I rolled my eyes.“Staying and havin
~JAXON/RONAN~ She tried pulling away but I held her in place. She was literally shaking in my arms earlier and I've never seen her like that before.“I don't want to talk about it, Jaxon” She murmured and I sighed.“Okay, you don't have to but I need to know if it's something that I need to be worried about” I replied and she went quiet for a while before glancing up at me.My eyes immediately fell on her lips and I might have kissed her if she didn't just vomit in front of me.I've kissed many women before but it was different with Elara. I didn't know how to explain it but it felt different.God knows if she hadn't pushed me away that day, I wouldn't have let her go.Louis was right. I was quickly getting attached to her and that was messing things up because why am I currently in the women's bathroom, holding Isla like any minute now, she could break?It was so unlike me.“Mr Anderson is dangerous but he won't hurt me. At least till he gets what he wants” She murmured.“And what
~ISLA~ I didn't know what to do as I followed behind Mr Anderson as he led us further into his office.Aiden was stiff beside me and I knew he had the same thoughts running through his mind.Why were we here? Better still, why was I here?“I'm sure you're wondering why you're here, Isla” Mr Anderson said as he took a seat.“I am” I replied and he smiled.“You know, the three of us want the same thing and that is to be powerful. To be at the top and in order to do that, a few sacrifices have to be made” He stated and I frowned.“I've made a lot of sacrifices to get to where I am today. Even though I'm not yet at the very top, I would rather die than have anything bring me down to where I started from and that's why I had every little evidence of the sacrifices I made vanish into thin air” He told us.“Why are you telling us this?” Aiden asked, turning his attention to him.“As my future heir, you're here to listen and shut your mouth” Mr Anderson uttered and Aiden pursed his lips.“Wh
~RONAN/JAXON~ “Are you listening, Ronan?” I turned to the Voice and saw not only Louis staring at me but the rest of my board which consisted of the people I trusted the most with my identity.These people also knew about my quest for revenge. “What did you say?” I asked as I turned to Louis and I heard a scoff.“You called for a meeting and you're not present? So unlike you Ronan” Dimitri Santos, one of my closest friends, uttered.“He's having women issues that's why” Louis uttered and I glared at him while his words piqued the interest of the others in the board.“A woman?” Stacy Evans, the only woman on my board asked with a confused frown on her face.She was also my ex but had never fully accepted the ex title yet. “There's no woman,” I muttered and Louis sighed.“You have to tell them about her eventually since she's Involved in this” Louis stated.“Is she the girl you've been living with? The key girl?” Dimitri asked and everyone turned to me, waiting for a confirmation.
~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~ “Jaxon?” I called out with a confused look on my face as I stood in front of him. “I won it at a game. I guess I had the lucky number” He explained nonchalantly and I frowned.“You won it at a game?” I asked and he nodded.“I didn't expect to win it because we were a lot but I guess luck
~JAXON/RONAN~ I turned towards her and my breath hitched.“Uhh no… Mr Jaxon was just giving me pointers on how to avoid such a thing from happening again. Right, Mr Jaxon?” I heard Louis say but at that moment, I couldn't speak.My eyes slid down Isla's body, loving the way the gown hugged her i
