ISABELLA

I hated that he was calling me now. Of all the times to remember I existed, Logan decided the perfect moment would be right after I’d heard another woman laughing at the doorway like she owned the place. The sound had sunk beneath my skin, curled somewhere between my ribs, and festered.

I didn’t turn. My feet remained planted halfway up the stairs, one hand gripping the wooden rail so tightly that my knuckles had gone pale. I was already three steps from freedom, from the smirks and gl

    IsabellaLogan stood by the window, both hands in his pants pockets as he stared outside. I stopped in my tracks, watching as his shoulders tensed as though he had sensed my presence. Of course, he would have. Swallowing the invisible lump in my throat, I said, “Hi, Logan.” A forced smile tugged at my lips despite my nervousness. My legs shook beneath my body as he slowly turned around, his gaze boring into me like he could see every thought I was trying to hide. His eyebrows furrowed, a flicker of something unreadable passing over his features. For a moment, he just stared blankly at me, causing my heart to pound heavily against my chest. After what felt like forever, he gave a small nod, and I walked towards the chair, my mind in turmoil of emotions. I perched on it with a loud sigh. “You don't look fine,” Logan stated the obvious, his tone void of any warmth.“I'm fine.” I countered, eyes flashing with defiance. I wished I could let him know that I wasn't fine, but I couldn'

    ISABELLA Shopping! Shopping! That was the only thing I could do all day. I had decided to take a break from work today because I knew there was no way I could concentrate at work. And I trust my employees to handle things well. Sooner or later, I will have to get an assistant. “Good morning, ma’am.” Efe’s voice pulled me out of my thoughts. A smile that didn’t reach my eyes tugged at the corners of my lips. “Good morning, Efe,” I muttered as he opened the car door for me. He got in and started the car, then I told him to drive me to the nearest mall. “Ma’am?” He looked over his shoulder, his expression a mixture of shock and confusion. “You heard me right, Efe! Drive me to the nearest mall.” I said, my voice barely above a whisper as though I had no strength to speak. I couldn’t stay at home because I knew the thoughts of what happened last night would keep clouding my mind. And knowing that Nina only sleeps during the day, I couldn’t disturb her sleep. She had stayed up with

    LOGANThe instant Isabella stormed out of my car, it felt like a part of me was ripped out of my body. I clenched my fists tightly, fingers digging deep into my palms until they drew out blood. She had found out about Anastasia and asked about her. I didn't think she was the type to go against the arrangement we had. Not only did she break the rules, but she went as far as digging into Anastasia. That was something she shouldn't have found out. I didn't know how much she knew yet, but with her reactions, it was obvious she knew how important she was to me. “Bella, Bella,” I yelled through clenched teeth. I didn't know why, but I felt the need to explain things to her. To let her know Anastasia was dead. She couldn't think she could compete with a dead woman, right? But then again, I had no reason to explain myself to her. What we had was just an arrangement that shouldn't have involved us falling for each other. But we'd both broken the rules by falling for each other, even thoug

    ISABELLAThe question rolled off my tongue before I could even stop it. I clenched my fists, my fingers digging into my palms as I embraced myself for what was coming. Logan let out a sigh and looked over his shoulder, a flicker of something I couldn't decipher, passing over his features. “What mysterious woman?” His tone was cold, detached like he'd not just acted like he cared about me a moment ago. In that moment, I knew I should not push further. I knew that bringing up the talk would only hurt me more, but I didn't stop. Maybe I needed to hear the truth to feel better and realise that I couldn't get him to open up his heart to me and love me. “The one your fans are always talking about,” I said, my voice barely audible, but I knew he heard me. His eyebrows twitched, and he exhaled sharply through his nose. “You’ve been going through my page, Bella?” He asked, his cold voice slicing through the air like a blade. I didn't respond to his question. I couldn't. And in that mome

    ISABELLAMy fingers trembled across my phone screen as I began scrolling through the comments under his post. “We really miss her with him.” “Can you tell us when you will move on from her?” “Idol, could you please date someone else and become happy again?” “I can make you happy if you don't mind. I can even become a hockey player if that's what you want.” Each of the comments under his last post felt like numerous knives were being pierced into my heart, causing my heart to bleed like an open wound. My fingers shook as tears rolled down my cheeks before I could stop them. My chest tightened painfully the more I stared back at my skin. I bit my lower lip to hold back a sob threatening to escape my throat. The pain I was feeling was raw and didn't look like anything I had felt in the past. Was this what heartbreak felt like? If it were, then I would rather not fall in love, except that I had fallen so hard for Logan Black, who would not even open his heart to me because there wa

    ISABELLA I lost count of the number of times I had sex with Logan last night, but that was one of the best sex sessions I'd had in weeks. And strangely, it felt like it would be the last one we would be having for reasons I don't know of yet. When I woke up this morning, he was no longer in my bed. Very typical of him. I wasn't expecting to see him, but I felt a little disappointed not seeing him by my side— a clear reminder that everything we had was nothing but an arrangement. I let out a sigh and got out of bed, ignoring the sore ache in my core. It was evidence of my crazy night with Logan. My phone beeped, but I ignored it, making a mental note to check the message later. Slowly, I walked into the bathroom and had a hot bath, memories of the previous night flooding my mind as the warm water cascaded down my body. It's funny how I had woken up early, despite that I slept later than usual last night. The moment I stepped out of the bathroom, I got dressed for my office. Eve

    LOGANCertain things aren't always expected. Things like walking in on someone digging into your past. A painful past you thought you'd buried. There was nothing about my last that I wanted to remember. I had tried so hard to bury them and live my life. However, walking on Nina and Isabella having

    ISABELLANina’s body shook and without being told, I knew Logan was referring to her. I still couldn’t lift my head to look into his eyes. But I should. Especially now that he was talking to Nina. I should let him know that this wasn’t her fault, but mine. I had started it. I was the one who came

    ISABELLAThe past few hours had been nothing but a tangled mess of thoughts. I’d been thinking about what might have happened to Logan, replaying his look when I questioned him. For fuck’s sake, I wasn’t meant to be bothered about him or what went wrong with him. Logan could take care of himself,

    LOGANThe drive to the stadium felt like forever. I pulled into the driveway, staring at the screen of my phone. I didn’t even know what I was expecting by staring at it. I stepped out of my sleek black car, pretending not to notice the eyes of my teammates on me. It’s not like they mattered or I g
