~ISLA~

“You don't go to an unknown place without letting me or Serena know, okay?” I stared at Jaxon as he stood before me with a pout.

I hadn't even gotten over the embarrassment of being rejected by him and now, he was giving me a lecture?

We arrived home a few minutes ago. Luckily, a cab happened to be parked alongside the road and carried us home as soon as the rain reduced.

Jaxon and I didn't say a word to each other on the way back and I was too embarrassed to even look him in the eye.

    ~SERENA~ Isla and Jaxon were at it again. They weren't talking to each other and the usual scowl on Jaxon's face was even worse now.Just a minute ago, they were about to kiss each other and now this?“Let me guess, Jaxon's mood changed after Arthur arrived?” I asked and she sighed.“I don't know what his problem is but I'm done trying to understand him and giving myself unnecessary hope” She muttered and I sighed.I don't know if it was only obvious to me but Jaxon liked Isla. He wanted her but he was way too stubborn to admit it and was making Isla confused.“I'm going out on a date with Arthur tonight. Who knows, maybe I just need to get laid then I'll stop fantasising about Jaxon” She muttered and I shook my head.It didn't happen that way. As long as she didn't view Arthur in a sexual way, she wasn't going to be able to fuck him.I mean, I was an example. Since the last time I saw Mr Lowe, I've been trying to see other men but it wasn't working.I still wanted him despite how

    ~CASSANDRA~ “Dad please!” I begged and screamed as my father grabbed me by the hair and slapped hard across the face.“You're a disgrace!” He screamed in my face before slapping me again.“Micheal please” My mother pleaded as she crawled over but he just kicked her away before she could get closer.“This is all your fault. You didn't fucking raise her right so now she's as useless as you are!” He screamed before slapping me and pushing me to the side.I immediately crawled over to my mother and she wrapped her arms tightly around me.Her face that was flawless this morning was swollen.“Do you understand how badly you humiliated me today? And in front of that mother fucking Mr Lowe?! He must see me as dirt now!” He growled and I shook as I prayed to God that I could vanish into thin air.“It isn't Cassandra’s fault. If that Bitch Isla hadn't…”“Why can't Cassandra create her own designs? What makes Isla Different? Does she have two Fucking brains?” He screamed and I clenched my fist

    ~ISLA~I was in shock and couldn't move as I stared at Mr Lowe. He wanted to offer me a proposal? Me?! I couldn't even hear anything at that point even though people's mouths were moving in front of me.Mr Lowe was a representative of Pierce Holdings so him offering me a proposal meant Pierce Holdings was offering me a proposal and that literally could change my life.“Miss Isla? What do you say?” Mr Lowe's voice snapped me out of my thoughts and I gaped at him, unable to find the right words.“Isla” I heard Jaxon's voice behind me and I turned to him.“Aren't you going to accept his offer?” He asked softly and I nearly choked on the tears brewing as I turned back to Mr Lowe and nodded at him.“Okay” Was all I could muster. He smiled then offered me his card.“You can call this number and we'll set up a meeting and discuss further. Till then” I said then walked away with Mr Anderson and Sophia right behind him.I noticed the glare Cassandra was sending my way but I couldn't be bothe

    ~ISLA~ My palms were sweaty as we all took a seat.The hall was packed with people. So much so that some had to stand on their toes to get a better view of the projector.Mr Lowe sat in the middle with a composed and unreadable expression.Next to him was Mr Anderson, whose smile didn't quite reach his eyes.Beside Mr Anderson was Sophia, who had a bright smile on her face, and then at the edge of each side of the table was Aiden and Cassandra.Cassandra had a smug look on her face as she glanced around.“Mr Lowe” Mr Anderson began smoothly. “It's truly an honour to have you here. I hope Mr Pierce…”“We are not here to talk about that, are we? We are here to evaluate the designs” Mr Lowe said calmly, instantly shutting down any form of small talk and didn't even spare Mr Anderson a glance.I could bet on it that Mr Lowe didn't like Mr Anderson.A pause ensued before Mr Anderson smiled tightly.“Of course. Let's begin” The room fell silent as the lights turned off. The projector cam

    ~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

    ~JAXON/RONAN~“He's not my man. He rejected me, remember?” Isla crawled and Serena gasped.“Oh yeah” Then she narrowed her eyes on me. “How dare you reject my sweetheart? Do you know how many men here would kill to be in your shoes? Who here wants a one night stand with my friend?” She announced an

    ~JAXON/RONAN~ She thought i was joking till she got a call from her manager and left crying.“You have become such a menace that day. Ronan usually doesn't concern himself with things like this” Louis uttered as he stood beside, and I frowned.I've been doing a lot of things I wouldn't have done

    ~JAXON/RONAN~ “You slept with Serena?” I asked Louis on the phone as soon as I was far away from the apartment.“I told you not to leave me alone with that girl, Boss. She's a seductress and I… I tried to resist but it was so fucking hard” He uttered into the phone.“She was drunk, Louis,” I poin

    ~ISLA~ Something was wrong with Jaxon.He started acting cold and closed off after dinner.Granted, he barely talked but he was different now, colder and I didn't know what to make of it.“Stop it, Isla. You barely even know this man” I murmured as I slapped my cheeks slightly.Had I overwhelmed
