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
A week passed in just a blink of an eye. In the past three weeks, I concentrated on my work. Although Isaac and I have constant communication, I still couldn't help myself but miss him badly. He always made time to have a face call in the evening and there was a time that I almost declined it, coz every time I saw him I miss him more and it sucks. One more week remaining and finally, he will come back here to Ohio. I'm like a kid counting the days for my excitement and hoping to see him again. Unfortunately, Avery couldn't come back with Isaac but it's okay coz we're still in touch every day. Ring...Ring... I'm reading a manuscript when my phone suddenly rang. When I see the caller's I.D. it's Tamara. "Hello T". I answered. "Hi, let's have dinner tonight, I'm going to town after my work you know tomorrow is the weekend". "Sure, what great timing. I needed your company, T". I sadly said to her. "Why, still lovesick? Badly missing prince charming? Tamara teases me. "Hmm, you didn'
“B, don’t you dare to sleep. I can’t bring you up alone”. I heard Tamara talk in the driver's seat but I couldn't understand anything she said. My mind is too hazy from all the vodka I drank and in no time I doze off. After a minute I feel Tamara tapping me and waking me up. My mind is still hazy but I opened my eyes forcibly. “B, wake up. We’re here let’s get you up”. she supported me to stand up and lead the way to the elevator. We staggered together in front of the elevator and to her relief we didn't wait for too long for the elevator to arrive. In seconds we reached my place. I forced myself to enter my passcode at my door with the help of Tamara's support. When I open my door I get inside first staggering, I didn't see the shadow of the man sitting in my living room and Tamara followed me but I heard Tamara scream the moment she open the light. "Oh my god, you scared me to death". Tamara shouted in shock. I saw Isaac's figure seating on my sofa with a frown on his handsome fa
Isaac POV It’s been three weeks of hell without Bettany on my side. I couldn't properly focus on my work here in New York, my best friend always teased me and I couldn't do anything about it coz it was true. I feel like I’ve been soft from the day I meet Bettany. I missed her more and more every second pass. To my relief, I could fly back earlier than I said to Bettany. I didn’t inform her that I will be flying back tonight instead of next week. I’m on my last meeting and started counting the hours so I could get out of here. My phone is out of battery so I give it to Jeff to charge before I fly back. I’m going to fly back alone tonight, Jeff will be handling some matters before he goes to Ohio the next day. My private plane is already waiting for me when I reached at the airport. Now, I can only think of Bettany, to be with her and able to see her. When I’m already in the air I realized I don’t have my phone with me, I hope Bettany is not waiting for my message. To my excitement, I
Bettany POV Did I adjust my AC before I slept? I feel cold right now maybe Tamara adjusted it. I'm trying to search for my pillow to hug but I couldn't find it with my eyes still closed. "T can you adjust the temperature, I'm cold". I murmured with my eyes closed and my head starting to throb. I feel Tamara hug me rather than get up and adjust the temperature. I didn't complain coz I feel the warmth from her body but when I hug back I felt something different from her figure. It's weird, I touched her body softly and it didn't feel like the body of a girl. What is happening? I continue to touch and explore the body and slowly I'm going up to the chest but suddenly I heard a voice. "Princess, behave stop touching, let's go back to sleep for just a minute, hmm". I heard Isaac's deep and warm voice like the spring. "Isaac? What's happening? why Isaac is here in my bed? My mind is in chaos right now. I peek to confirm if this is real Isaac not just my hallucination. "Princess, let's s
Bettany POV When Isaac left and went to his place. I made a call to Tamara while packing my things. After a few rings, Tamara answered. “B what’s the matter? Tamara greeted. “Sorry T, I can't accompany you today. Isaac and I are going for a short trip this weekend”. I explained slowly to Tamara. “Oh, don’t worry, prince charming updated me this morning. He called earlier to inform me. You can enjoy his company all you want.” “Did Isaac tell you where we going? Until now I’m still clueless, he just told me to bring only a casual dress”. I continue my packing while on the line. “Don’t think too much, just enjoy your moment with him. This is the one you are looking forward to right, to have a getaway for the both of you. Just be careful when you do the deeds, make sure you are protected. I don’t want to be aunt yet.ha.ha.ha”. Tamara teased me, when I heard what she meant, my face automatically reddened. “T, what nonsense you’re talking about. I’m hanging up now. I’ll see you next w
“Princess, do you like the place? Isaac hugged me in the back while I’m on the terrace outdoors watching the waves of the ocean from afar. We are enjoying the scenery in front of us while waiting for our lunch to be ready. “No, I’m in love with the place already. Can I not go back home? I said happily and turn around and hug him back. “If that’s what you want, we can do that. I can buy William shares so we can have the place for the both of us”. Isaac said with seriousness. “No, don’t do that, I don’t want to steal it from Mr. Smith. Like you said it’s Mr. Smith's safe heaven as well. He had spent his precious time here and had memorable memories like you used to”. I sternly said to him coz I know Isaac’s words when he said it he will do it immediately. “Okay, then I will buy you a different island that is more beautiful than here. It will only belong to both of us”. Isaac softly whispered to my ears lovingly. I didn’t make any comment on his statement. I just let it go, I lean mor
