Isabella's POV

“Mmhm… Damien Sinclair,” she said, rolling her eyes.

“Wait, no way. You’re joking, right?” I asked, wondering if my ears were playing tricks on me.

“Do I look like I’m joking? I’m dead serious. You know what? I have a secret to show you,” she said, getting up.

She headed to the corner of the room and pulled out a mysterious box. Then she reached into her bag for her favorite key necklace and that was when everything finally clicked.

That necklace had been a part of her for a ver

  • One Night Stand With The Ruthless Billionaire    Chapter 31---New Beginning

    When they finally led me to my room, I stopped, completely still, like my body forgot how to move. For a second, I genuinely thought there had been some kind of mistake, like this couldn’t possibly be meant for me. Because this room… it was breathtaking. Soft golden light spilled from a chandelier overhead, warm and deliberate, settling into every corner of the room.The walls were dressed in creamy ivory, smooth and flawless with delicate paneling that made everything feel like a page torn straight out of a luxury magazine. At the center sat a king-sized bed…no, not a bed, a cloud pretending to be one.Pillows were stacked in perfect layers and the duvet, too pristine,like I didn’t belong anywhere near it. A thick rug softened my steps as I moved further in. To my right stood a full-length mirror framed in polished silver, tall enough to reflect everything. Beside it sat a glass-top dressing table with a cushioned chair that looked far too elegant to be used. A vase of fresh flowers

    Isabella's POV “Hey… don’t be like that,” I cooed, scooting closer until our shoulders brushed.“I’m not moving to the other side of the world,” I said, slipping my hands into hers.“Why are you acting like I am? I’m literally just a phone call away whenever you need me.”She didn’t say anything, just forced a smile and I saw right through it. It hurt more than I expected, seeing her like that. She’s been there for me since the day we met, and the last thing I wanted was for this change to put even the slightest strain on us. She’s more than my best friend, she's my sister in every way that matters.“Promise?” she asked, lifting her pinky toward me. I hooked mine around hers. “Promise.”The word caught in my throat, but I forced it out anyway.She reached out and wrapped her hands around me, I hugged her back with a smile.“I love you, bess,” I whispered against her shoulder.“I love you more,” she murmured.We stayed like that a moment longer until my stomach betrayed me with a lou

  • One Night Stand With The Ruthless Billionaire    Chapter 29-l

    Isabella's POV Just as I reached for the door handle, my stomach betrayed me with a loud growl, and for a second we just stared at each other before bursting into laughter, the tension melting away like it had never existed.“Ughhh, I guess I’m not the only one starving,” she said through her laughter, wiping tears from the corner of her eyes.“You wanna grab something to eat?” I asked, already knowing the answer.“I really do, but I still have to pack and I barely have a few minutes before I leave for my new job,” I said, uncertain.“I think I saw a restaurant around the corner on our way here, maybe I could grab some takeout,” she suggested, already thinking it through.“Or we could just order something,” I offered casually.“Order? Hell no. I’ll be dead from starvation before they even show up,” she said, dismissing the idea instantly.“Okay, here’s the plan then, you go inside and start packing while I go grab us something to eat.”“Okay… just be careful,” I said after a brief pa

    Isabella's POV “Who's that with you?” he asked Sabrina, eyes narrowing slightly as he took a slow drag from his cigarette.“Oh, that's my friend and honestly, the main reason we're here,” she said in a light but firm tone.“And what brings you here?” he asked, smoke curling around his words like a warning.“We need your help and it’s really urgent,” Sabrina said, her voice steady, eyes locking on his like steel.He stared at me, long enough for my stomach to twist, saying nothing. Finally, he spoke up.“She looks… yummy and sweet. Any boyfriend, pretty lady?” he asked, smoke drifting lazily from his lips, as if testing my reaction.I froze by his question. His words weren’t just startling, they were sharp, wrapped in a grin that made my skin crawl. I swallowed hard and glanced at Sabrina. She caught the flicker of panic in my eyes instantly.“Umm…okay, Jason, you’re making her really uncomfortable now, please,” she said, playful, but with a warning buried in her smile.Ignoring Sabri

    Isabella's POV Without thinking, I dug into my bag, my fingers brushing against my phone and the card Damien had given me. I wiped my tears with the back of my hand and started dialing his number, then froze halfway through like my body had finally caught up with my mind.Won’t Damien use this as a chance to step all over me? I wondered, my thoughts spiraling. Isn’t this exactly the kind of weakness he waits for?But then my mom’s condition crashed back into my mind, heavy and unforgiving, and I realized I didn’t have the luxury of pride, only the burden of survival.My thumb moved again, slow and reluctant, completing the numbers.“Look at you, pretending to be strong when you’re really just poor and helpless,” a voice sneered.I spun around, scanning faces, searching for whoever had said it, but no one was looking at me. Everyone else was busy living, laughing, moving forward like nothing in the world was falling apart.“Baby girl, wake up,” the voice whispered again. “You’re nothi

    Isabella's POV “How about you stay during the weekdays and go home on weekends?” he asked with concern.I thought about it for a moment. At least this way, I could visit my stepmom at the hospital and still spend time with Ray.Alright, I think that works for now,” I said, forcing a light smile.“Good. Then we have a deal,” he said, standing up and extending his hand.I stood as well, shook his hand politely, and withdrew mine just as quickly.“You can take today off to prepare. I’ll have some of my men pick you up tomorrow, if that’s okay with you,” he said.“That’ll be fine,” I replied.“Here,” he said, handing me his card. “In case of anything, you can reach me directly.”“Thank you,” I said, taking it before leaving the villa.Since I had time to spare, I stopped by the hospital to visit my mom.“Hi, Mama,” I said softly as I pushed the door open.“Hi, sweetie,” she said, pulling me into a tight embrace.She was crocheting, like always. Crocheting is her peace. It’s where her min

    I heard Mr. Westwood’s rough voice call, “Come in.” My heart was racing as I stepped inside. The office felt colder than usual maybe it was just my nerves.
