ISAAC POV I was too occupied with my work that I didn't realize the time passed by. I find my phone hoping Bettany has already messaged me from the morning coz I'm missing her already. When I check it there was no message at all. She didn't inform me if she has arrived safely at her parent's place. Is she, that busy that she couldn't even send me a single message? I dialed her number; I badly wanted to hear her voice. It rings repeatedly but there's no answer at all. My mood dampens immediately. Now I'm so disappointed, is it so hard to answer my call? I'm starting to sulk at my table when Jeff comes to my side and reminded me of my meeting. "Mr. Jones your meeting is about to begin in a few minutes". Jeff politely reminds me. "Hmm, I'll be there. Is it my last schedule for the day? I asked Jeff just to make sure. "Yes, Mr. Jones after this meeting you are free to have dinner with your sister Avery". I just nodded to Jeff and he left my room. I couldn't help myself but think about
Bettany POV "Princess, are you tired? Isaac asked me after everyone left. Avery left with her parents and Isaac's best friend. Tamara also went home; I and Isaac are the only one left behind. "Not yet, why? I smiled at him. "Can you accompany me for a ride? he gently asked me with his hopeful eyes. "Sure, where are we going? I agreed with him. "You will know". he answered me mysteriously. We went out of his place and went down to the parking where his car was parked. He drives us to the road and I'm still clueless about where we were going. I observed the scenery that we passed by but I'm not familiar with it and couldn't still figure out where our destination is. After a few minutes were already outside of the town. "Isaac, where we off to? I couldn't help my curiosity and ask him. "You will know when we get there, patient princess". he just smiled at me. "Fine, by the way, did you like our surprise? I stared at him expectantly. "I don't like it princess but I love it. I did
ISAAC POV I slowly open my eyes and realize I'm all alone in the blanket on the sand, Bettany is not on my side and nowhere to be seen. I didn't realize I fall asleep on her lap. I still couldn't believe Bettany is already agreed to be mine. This is the best gift and most memorable one I received on my birthday. I scan the area along the beach and I found my girl standing near the water looking ahead at the ocean. My heartbeat becomes fast just by the view of my girl standing there like a water goddess. Her long wavy hair moves every time the wind blows, and a visible smile on her beautiful face, I could feel the warmth in my heart at this view. How I wish every time I open my eyes in the morning what I can see, is her face. It's still dawn and the light in the sky is slowly peeking on the horizon. The blue and clear sky are now mixed with the orange effect of the sunlight rising. I slowly approach Bettany in the back and wrapped my arms around her. She looked at me with some emotion
Isaac POV After my short trip with Bettany on the beach, I didn't feel tired at all. I don't feel sleepy at all, instead of sleeping in my bedroom, I went to my study room to work. I still have time before our dinner later. I need to finish some work before I went back to New York. My attention in the headquarter in New York is needed, this time I need to spend a whole month out there. When I realize I'll be gone a long time I felt sad and uneasy. My relationship with Bettany is just begun but here I am going to be away from her for a month. I want to invite her to come with me but I know her well, she will decline it immediately coz of her work here. She's just a workaholic like me sometimes and I got jealous of her work. She's having more attention to it rather than to me. I woke up at my thought when my phone rang. Ring...Ring... "Hi, Bub". I could hear the excited voice of my sister on the other line. "Yes, what's the matter? why did you call? I ask her straightforwardly. "Can
Bettany POV Days and weeks passed and I felt even more happier with my relationship with Isaac. For a long time, I'm always praying that someday I can be with the person who's willing to spend his time with me. It could be on a happy day or a bad day. I want to share my everything with that person. Till now I couldn't still believe I'm in romantic relations with Isaac. Every day when I opened my eyes, I always ask myself do I deserve him. I'm just an ordinary woman who fell in love with him. I told him we could take it slow but what happen these past few weeks I don't think we're in a slow phase. I already meet his parents and he meet my parents though were not official at that time yet. Like Ryle and Tamara's advice to me, I need to avoid being an over-thinker person. I need to learn how to go with the flow, enjoy, and embrace every moment that is happening with us. This is my first official relationship and I don't want to mess it up. I know I'm still lacking in some areas, but I ma
Isaac POV When we arrived at the restaurant, I heard a familiar voice call my name. This is the voice that I'm not looking forward to hearing again. She is the biggest nightmare of my life. When I turned around to see this woman, I controlled myself not to burst into my anger. I didn't even realize that I'm holding Bettany's hand tightly. When I looked at Bettany I could see in her eyes that she has some questions to ask but I'm not ready to answer them yet. I requested her to come with the waiter to our table and wait for me there. She just nodded and let go of whatever she was going to ask. I'm glad that she understands me at that moment. After Bettany left, I went outside and Livy followed me out too. She was staring at me and after a second she spoke. "Isaac, can we talk? Who's that woman? I heard Livy ask. "It's none of your business, what do you want Livy? I don't have anything to talk about with you." I said straightforwardly. "Isaac, I know am wrong about what I've done to
Bettany POV Being overjoyed sometimes made someone anxious. The feeling that all your happiness will not make last longer than you thought and when you close your eyes everything will just evaporate to nowhere. That's what I'm feeling right now. When I heard what Isaac told me, I felt my surroundings got darken. The smile on my face gradually faded away. "Princess, I need to fly back to New York tomorrow". Isaac said and looked at me sadly when we were having dinner at his place. I felt sad at the same time but I didn't show it to Isaac. "How long you will be gone? Instead, I asked him how long he will stay in New York this time. "A month or so, some problems in the headquarters occurred and my presence is needed there so this time my stay there will be long but as soon I'll finish, I'll fly back here". when I heard that he will be gone for that long I felt alone again, that time I couldn't control myself and my smile faded. "Oh, is Avery going back with you as well? I asked him s
The gloomy weather outside was the same as how I feel right now, low-spirited and sad. I don’t feel like going home at all, no one is waiting for me there, it’s all empty. I don’t know what was wrong with me now coz before I meet Isaac I’m always excited to go home and be in the comfort of my bed but suddenly I felt the loneliness of being alone. I couldn't help but be emotional again, I need to hold up and cheer up myself. I need a distraction and the only one I could see is my work. I tried to focus on my work without thinking Isaac or I might be crazy before the end of the day. Is being in a relationship could cloud your mind and judgment? Why do I feel I’m addicted to something I should not be? Am I the only one who’s feeling like this? Bettany Wright, you will be alright I cheered up myself. Hours passed by and little by little my mind get over the thought of Isaac. Knock...Knock... “Come in”. I answered when I heard a knock on my door. "Bett, did you need anything with me bef
