Conor Quinn didn't say anything, but in response, he pulled her close into her his arms, and laid his chin on top of her head,

"I've really missed you, Bella. And Noah? Oh, the sweet boy doesn't think of me. While you two are all I can think about." he said and hugged her closer,

"My shift is almost over. How about you and I go out to eat after this?" He added and pulled away just an inch so that he gazed into her eyes,

"Oh, hmm…"

"Come on, pretty lady, give me this one."

She smiled, couldn't h

    The comments section still went wild with Ciara's response,"Cici, if you've been kidnapped, blink twice. We'll come to find you.""I think this is just evidence of how hard Isabella can be behind the scene."~~~~Ciara looked at the comment section underneath her post and angrily tossed her phone to the side before looking up at both her brothers,"Have the both of you lost your minds?" she roared.She didn't even know why she had to ask. It was obvious that they both were crazy. She had no idea what enchantment Isabella had given them that made them sed so many resources to keep her close to them. They had even gone so far as terminating Eileen's contract and giving it to her and now they were forcing her to help Isabella so that if she ever wanted to make trouble with Isabella, she simply could not.Dylan turned off his phone and looked at his sister in doubt. He had no idea what rubbish Eileen had successfully poisoned her with. But he was sure that his parents had picked her up f

    Ronan thought long and hard over what Finbarr had said, then finally asked, "So what would you rather I do?""well…" Finbarr began, feeling very defeated.He couldn't understand how a genius needed a small emotional matter to be explained to him.He had the desperate urge to tell his president just how dim he thought he was in that moment but hesitated.If it weren't for his respect and partial fear for the president, he might have walked over and pressed his head to the table, then would have educated him on what emotional intelligence actually was.But he knew better than to do any of that and could only think about it in his head.Finbarr fixed his glasses on the bridge of his nose before beginning, "Well, Isabella must have posted what she did as a declaration of war, maybe Eileen stepped on her toes, crossed her boundaries, or something. What you need to do, so support and defend Isabella. But don't make it too obvious.""Are you sure?" Ronan asked suspiciously,"Pfft, am I sure?

    After the shooting, Isabella felt terribly tired. All she wanted to do was sit down, maybe have a bit of a nap, then head back home. Several minutes had not passed after she closed her eyes when her phone began to ring.She reached inside her bag and rolled her eyes at the caller Id,"What do you want?""Are you busy?" Ronan asked, ignoring the bite in her tone,"Well, it depends." She said. The last person she wanted to be talking to at that moment was Ronna. Just the thought of the way Eileen had dangled him in front of her, used him as a way to threaten her, had anger creeping into her chest,"Look if you're calling me to defend your precious little Eileen, let me tell you I am in no mind for such a conversation at this time." She said testily and hung up the phone before throwing it to the side."What the hell is wrong with this woman?" Ronan asked when he saw she had hung up. She didn't even wait for what he had to say."Would you like to start going?" the driver asked quietly.T

    Only Isabella could think of something as volatile as cutting off Eileen's endorsement and get away with it. She knew what kind of person Eileen was. After all, she was the woman who staged a suicide attempt. She was well aware of trying it again. And Isabella decided that that was the least of her problem.She wouldn't feel any sympathy for a person who preyed on someone else's emotions. So she could stage another suicide attempt. But it would not shake Isabella this time any more than it shook her the first time."Eileen, I can honestly and boldly tell you that as long as I, Isabella Sullivan am still in this industry, you'll never get anywhere.." she paused and got up from where she sat, walked toward Eileen, and tilting her head in a feline smile, she held her jaw," I can make and break you Eileen Walsh. I can make every director and every producer forget you exist. I can make your name just… fade away.""That's impossible! That is not Impossible! You can't do that. You're just an

    Eileen gritted her teeth in annoyance. She really didn't know what to do anymore, and she couldn't even use her ties to Ronan to solve her problems because he had already issued a statement about them not being together.All was not going well for her at all.She wished Isabella all the harm in the world. She wished for her to get hit by a truck. Ever since the woman came back, nothing had gone well for her. She had lost Ronan, she had lost her endorsements. Just yesterday, people ridiculed her at the banquet, and she had even been slapped by Silas Shea in front of so many.And it was all Isabella's fault.Why was life so unfair to her? Why was it that Isabella was the eldest of a noble family, while she was only an illegitimate child?Life was so easy for Isabella. All she had to do was say she wanted something and she would obtain it. While she, on the other hand, had to struggle and devise means to obtainthe things she wanted.To be with Ronan she had had to devise means. She coul

    Having seen the way Isabella had treated Simon, Ronan did not doubt that the woman was a totally different woman. This woman was proud of her status as the eldest granddaughter of the Shea family. An old family at that with a noble stand. She stood tall, this Isabella, and she would let no one trample her.Now she knew her place. Now she knew her to stand.In the three years they had been together, she put away the noble birth, so that every time she came before him, she humbled herself. And he forgot that it was blue blood that ran through her veins.But that was past.He looked down at the picture in his hand and ran his thumb over it,"But why Bella? Why did you do all that?" he wanted to ask her. He longed so much to ask the reason for doing all that she did.But he had been dialing her number for so long, with no reply, with no response from the woman he called.He trembled while he made the call again and again because he was afraid. He was afraid that what he knew was the truth

    Ronan walked closer to the woman, but paused when he heard the words,"I'm sorry, my sweet boy." And the voice, so much like Isabella's caused him to falter.Could it truly be her?Before he could make up his mind to take another step toward her or not, the figure blended into the shadow, and then

    Isabella had to force herself to breathe.Breathe. She told herself.You can't break down here. You cannot fall apart.She had, in truth, never actually met the woman of which Ronan spoke. But like an ever-present body, the woman was there, between them, a constant nuisance in their marriage. And s

    He strengthened the hold he had on her, so that worry turned into fear. Staring into the depths of his eyes she struggled against his hold,"Let me go, Ronan. You're hurting me." she watched the emotions play in his eyes but couldn't quite put words to what she actually saw in his eyes,Remorse? Co
