로그인~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~ Jaxon didn't come back that night till I fell asleep and when I woke up the next morning, he was acting like nothing happened.Like we didn't just share a kiss last night.I didn't know what to do. Do I bring it up or not?“Jaxon…”“I have somewhere to be today. You can take care of yourself while I'm home, right?” He interjected and I frowned then nodded.“Yes but…”“If Aiden bothers you, call me immediately. I'll be back as fast as I can” He interrupted again.“You don't want to talk about it, do you? That's why you keep interrupting me” I pointed out.“Talk about what?” He asked and I scoffed.“Talk about what? You kissed me last night” I reminded him.“Oh” Was all he said and at that moment, I saw red.I stomped towards him and stood in front of him with my hands on my waist.“Oh? What do you mean Oh?” I asked and he sighed, his eyes finally meeting mine for the first time today.“What do you want me to say, Isla? It was just a kiss. No need to make a big deal out of it”
~ISLA~ Jaxon didn't say a word and he got onto the back seat. He had his arms folded with a scowl on his face as he stared outside the window.“How was work today?” Arthur asked, breaking the tension in the car.“Same old, boring” I told him and he briefly glanced at me.Really? I assumed you loved your job” He stated and I sighed.“It's complicated. I love being a designer but working at Diamond Enterprise? Not so much. No offense, I know you're trying to strike a deal with them” I said and he chuckled.“No offense taken. I only came to them because I couldn't get Ronan Pierce to invest in my project” He said.“Wait, you were trying to get Ronan Pierce to invest in your project?” Jaxon asked and Arthur nodded.“It would have been a dream if it worked out,” Arthur muttered and Jaxon scoffed.“Would it now? And what exactly is this project about?” Jaxon asked.“Why do you suddenly sound excited and smug?” I asked as I glanced back at him and he shrugged with a slight smirk on his fac
~ISLA~ “Isla, wait outside" Jaxon ordered as he continued to glare at Aiden.“No” I stated simply, causing Jaxon to turn to me with a frown.“Isla…”“I'm not letting you waste your time on him. It's not worth it” I muttered as I grabbed onto Jason's wrist.He stared at me for a while then nodded as he took a step backwards.“If I find out you're having me stalked again, I'll get a restraining order on you. Leave me alone and focus on your fiancée” I warned before walking out, aware of Jaxon walking behind me.“You should have let me teach him a lesson” Jaxon muttered behind me.“That's what he wants. I don't want to waste any more time on him” I told him.“So now you're talking to me? You barely said anything to me this morning” He uttered and I sighed.“Why does it matter?” I asked and he scoffed.“Why does it matter? Look at me” He ordered but I refused to look at him.He grabbed my wrist and was about to spin me around when my name was called.“Isla” I went cold immediately befor
~ISLA~ “Spill” Serena said as she plopped down beside me.“Spill what? I should be asking you that. You barely returned my calls and messages last night” I uttered as I turned to her and noticed the way her cheeks turned pink.“We are talking about you right now, don't change the topic. What happened between you and hot stuff over there?” She asked as she motioned towards Jaxon with her head.For the first time today, I turned to him. I've been giving him the silent treatment since he came back from his date and I know he noticed. He refused to stand outside the company today and has been watching me since we got here.“Why do you think something is going on between us?” I asked as I tore my eyes away from him and turned back to her.“Because I saw you both this morning and you looked stiff as hell. Jaxon always has a scowl on his face but it was worse this time. Did you two argue? Trouble in paradise?” She asked and I rolled my eyes.“There's no trouble in paradise. He has a girl
~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
~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
~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
~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
