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 was gone.

He stared at that spot for the longest time, wondering what he had just encountered. Wondering who he had just encountered.

But his thoughts were disturbed by sudden footsteps walking toward

    Isabella spoke with a small voice that made Ronan think she wasn't sure about what she said. Not when she looked like she was going to cry. But even with his fears about her doubts, he found that those were the most beautiful words he had heard in a very long time.She was willing to try again.Pushing his fears to the side, his excitement bubbled up and he pulled Isabella into an embrace, held her close, his arms wrapped around her, and he buried his face in the neck, taking in the smell of her with wild pleasure, "thank you, Bella. Thank you so much. I promise you won't regret this." he said and pulled away so he could look at her, his face bright with smiles. The smile on his face had Isabella's heart softening and she smiled back at him in return,"You look like Noah when he gets his way." it was said harmlessly but it only made Ronan sad. He thought of Noah and all of the years he had missed by not being there for Isabella the way he should have been. And he felt as though he was

    In spite of her irritation, Isabella still smiled, "You knew, Ronan, I really think it might help for you to see a psychiatrist. Just to get your neurological faculty checked." she said and shook her head, "You're losing it."Rona didn't say anything but simply frowned at her. He didn't understand where she'd developed such a foul mouth from.But whatever Ronan thought about her, was simply the least of her problems. She lazily stood from her place on his legs and reaching into her pocket, she dug out car keys and dropped them on the table, " I believe those are yours. Now nothing of yours is in my possession. You can stop now, constantly making a big deal out of those relationships. There isn't so much between n us to be honest. "Ronan watched her, his hands folded on his desk, his lips pursed, his eyes watching her like a hawk.So then, she hadn't come to coax him, but make things better, but rather to set boundaries and all but irritate him all the more.Well, he had news for her"

    His closeness made it hard for her to concentrate. But she fought off the urge to be oppressed by him in any way. That behavior belonged to another time, another place, to a person she no longer accepted to be.She set the magazine in her lap and slowly rose her head to meet his gaze."Can I help you, Ronan? Ever heard of personal space?" Isabella asked with a wide smile.Ronan did his best to fight off his growing temper. For close to two weeks! He hadn't seen her for close to two weeks, and she had the audacity to act like everything was okay.Damn her!It didn't matter how much distance and time spanned between them. The woman could be so irritatingly indifferent. And it made him so angry.But underneath all that anger, was hurt and a loneliness. The heartbreaking truth was that she didn't care as much as he wanted her to.She smiled faintly when he didn't respond and dropped her head once more into the magazine and shrugged, "If you don't want me here, that's okay. I only came bec

    Isabella shook her head, "you know if Ronan is so unhappy, he is more than welcome to end this contract. I will not be manipulated or bribed. But…" she said, and finally took the keys. Even she had to admit that it was one hell of a ride. She snorted and walked to the car, and Finn followed her,"you're the only one that can calm him down." Finn wanted to say but held his tongue. He wasn't about to make things worse for himself.Isabella sighed and ran a hand down the car, "In the end, it's a lot of wealth the Pattersons have, hmm!"Finn fought the urge to cry, "And if you don't receive the boss, it is my money that'll be flushed down the toilet. My salary and bonuses."Isabella rose a brow at Finn, is it that bad then? Are you indeed, that very much miserable, Finbarr?"Finn nodded sober, "It's getting out of hand. Even if I were to for felt the bonuses, and God knows I don't want to, what about my salary, what do I do if he deducts it? I still have a wife and children to feed. If my

    Isabella chose not to take any of Patrick's words to heart.The truth was, she didn't need the fame that the entertainment industry offered. It was just one of the perks that came with the territory she was in. Neither did she fear that, the money that came with it thinning out would make her poor. After all she came from a very wealthy family. And as for her vengeance on Eileen, it could still be carried out through various other means. The entertainment industry was just a very convenient means for her.But try as she might, she couldn't still shake off the feeling of sadness that filled her when she looked up at him. He had a way of making them look like they were someway romantically entangled. It both irritated and saddened her."I might be arrogant as you say. But all I know is that there is a way I like things to be, and do my best to make them that way. I'd advise you to not cross the boundaries that are there. To respect them, to respect me... If you ever decided not to, I ma

    "Ah, Director Micah, is there anything you would like to say to everyone?2 it was the host who asked when Micah had taken the stage,"Not much I guess. But as we all know, I'm very picky about the actors and actresses I give roles to. So that says a lot about these three, which of whom I feel very blessed and lucky to have." Especially Miss Sullivan, he wanted to say. But thought it might not be fitting."Ah yes, we've all heard about director Micah and his strict ways.." she laughed and continued, "Well, here you have it folks, director Micah and his leading cast. About some pictures guys, what do you say?"The host turned to Isabella and Eileen, and knowing fully well about the rift between them still prodded, "Well, how about some pictures between the lady and the second female lead."Isabella didn't shout in defiance, instead, she looked from the host and then back to Eileen, and her heart cooled. She was many things, and maybe some of those things weren't the best of things, but

    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

    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

    Isabella couldn't even find the right words to respond to her with. She was tired and truly on the verge of being very pissed.
