LOGINFor someone like Isabella Evans, a one night stand was never in the books. But her entire life changed on her wedding day, when she finds her husband-to-be, cheating with his secretary. After getting her heart broken, she retires to a bar where she sleeps with a stranger before leaving town the next day, only to discover in a few weeks, that she was pregnant. Seven years later, she had birthed twins for a man she was sure she would never see again, but fate brings her back to her hometown where she settles for a job with a very successful hotel. What happens when she finds out Leonardo, the most powerful billionaire in Norman is her boss, and even worse, that the reason her heart pounded each time she saw him was because he was the man she knew a few years back—the father of her kids. Even further complicating things was Colton, the man she was supposed to marry then. Now pursued by two men, Isabella is faced with the toughest decisions. When would Leonardo recognize her and in fact realize he has children of his own? How would Colton face such reality? And alas, who would she choose—the father of her kids, or her first love?
View MoreOpen the door, Navi", Radha called from the kitchen, "sure, going", Navi said while running to open the door. The moment she opened the door, a handsome guy with a big smile asked, "Is this Radha Aunty's home?" "Yeah", said Navi.
" Welcome, my boy, Hardeep", Radha said, coming to the room , while wiping her hands with a towel. "Hope you didn't face any problem in searching the house! ". "No, aunty, I just followed your instructions and at the same time I asked for Navi's Villa as you said, he replied with a smirk. On the other side Navi was getting tomato red at the mention of her name, looking at her aunt's face. "Oh, let me introduce you guys, Hardeep she's my niece Navi, and Navi, this handsome hunk, is my friend Deepa's Sunny boy. He's gonna stay here with us for a few months as he's here to promote his business." "Hello, bua g ( paternal aunt, father's sister) you sit here in the meantime I will go and bring the tea", she said and went to the kitchen to make tea. " oh , this is the reason bua was busy preparing dishes since morning and she never told me, just you wait, what a treat to the eyes aha ! ". Meanwhile, Radha with a smile on her face was talking to Hardeep, asking about his family and especially her friend. But Hardeep was already lost, in the mystic brown eyes. "Yeah, aunty, mumma has sent your favorite sweets." "Navi, how much time do you need to make tea?" " Coming," Navi replied.
Navi is a twenty years old beautiful girl doing her internship in one of the computer firms was living with her aunt and uncle as her parents were often on their business tour. Radha's kids were studying abroad, so she, being alone, wanted her niece to stay with her. After having tea Radha told Navi, " Beta , go with Hardeep and show him the guest room, the helper had already cleaned it".
"Okay, please come." Hardeep picked his bag but Navi stopped him, saying that the helper will bring it up.
He quietly nodded and followed her to the other side of the house. The guestroom was just opposite Navi's room. " My good luck", thought Hardeep as Navi showed him the room. It was neat and clean painted in pastels. Adjacent Bathroom was also clean with the fresh toiletries and a fresh towel was hanging on the rod. " If you want any help you can call me, I'm just in the opposite room", Navi said and quickly went out of the room . She took a big sigh almost realising that she was holding her breath. " Oh my, he's a treat to eyes but hold on Navi, he's an elite guest, no hopes. Poor me, forget it ", and she jumped on her bed.

Hardeep, a twenty five years old guy, successfully running his own business had to come to another city as he planned to supervise another branch of his company. He's a smart, good looking, tall guy with hazel eyes and a treat for every female's eyes. Naturewise, personally he's an easy going person but in the business world it's really hard to crack a deal with him as he never believes in mixing business with pleasure.

After taking a bath, he was relaxing on his bed with a laptop on , when he heard a knock on the door , " yeah come in", " bua g is calling for dinner", said Navi. Hardeep got lost in the eyes and all he could see were pink lips moving, " hellooo", Navi repeating her words, " yeah, coming, you would wait here while I change or …" " Nooo, I'm going" averting her eyes, she said and quickly ran out of the room. " What am I supposed to do with you? My poor heart, all gone seeing this beauty, she's looking hot in a pink body fitted suit with a long thick braid reaching up to her waist. Need to do something to make my heart go normal", he smirked while talking to himself.
On the dining table, he met and greeted Radha's husband, a jolly natured person in his mid fifties. Hardeep was thanking his stars for sending him to this city where he could live with this loving and lively couple. "Navi, you ok beta , very quiet today! " Asked Mandeep, Radha's husband. " Yes uncle, it was just a hectic day, as the CEO is coming tomorrow to pay a visit to our company, so we interns were quite busy, with our projects" . " Ok, if you need any guidance, we have a gem here, you can ask Hardeep to clear your doubts" , uncle said looking up at Hardeep. "Anytime," Hardeep said looking at the down headed girl.
"Thank you," came a sweet voice,
" Enough of office talk, '' Radha said while offering dessert to all. " Aunty , do you need any help in the kitchen, do call me I've to finish my presentation, so please excuse me" she said to Radha while taking utensils to the kitchen. "No, beta Jenny is here to help, you carry on with your work but don't work too late", Radha told Navi affectionately. Wishing Good night to them she climbed the stairs and started working on her project, after refreshing. During midnight, Navi heard some noise outside . She froze with fear and timidly went near the door hoping it's just a cat but now she could hear footsteps coming near her room.
She quickly opened the door and bumped into the hard wall and a shriek left her throat. "Relax, it's me, Hardeep", came a deep voice." You, what are you doing here at this hour, do you need anything, could have called me through intercom." ,She was blabbering with nervousness. " Nah, I was going to get water from the fridge as I forgot to bring the bottle with me", " ooookay, wait I'll get it , I've two bottles here , you take one". Navi offered. Hardeep asked her , "Your work is still not finished, do you need any help, by the way which company you are working for?"
"Well, it's almost done but you see there's a rumour that our boss is over strict with all the aggressive attitude, so as I'm just the intern and have been given the duty to welcome him . Actually I am working for HS & Company". Hardeep swallowed the water from the bottle given by her, hearing her. " Don't worry and don't judge a person without meeting him, go to sleep it's late. Good night". Saying so he returned to his room.
FIVE MONTHS LATER.Isabella gathered the hems of her flowing white dress as she heaved in a deep breath. Her face turned crimson with blood draining from her cheeks and she turned to Joan who was right beside her. "I'm so nervous" She whispered beneath her breath with her shoes grazing into the fields.There were roses all around them and they stood just behind the door yet to open. "The dress is beautiful, Isabella. You're perfect.” Joan whispered, being her maid of honor for her second wedding and they shared a chuckle."It's like a full circle moment" Isabella beamed a smile and Joan rested unto her arms."But it's different now" She said."Either way i'm glad i get to do this with you again. I'm glad i still have you" Isabella pushed a hard lump down her throat. "Have you thought about what Leonardo said?" She asked for the nth time and i remembered months ago when he told me of his plans to leave Norman.That it was up to me though, to decide what exactly a fresh slate meant."I
“Hey” Her soft voice drew to him as he brought his eyes to open. The incessant beeping of the heart monitor subdued behind her voice and Em inched closer to him. Gerald’s eyes were slow but the moment he recognized her, there was a large grin that spread across his lips. “I’m here” She comforted, leaning forward to place a kiss on his cheek.“You’re okay” Her hands pressed lightly on the wrapped gunshot wound in his chest and he nodded. “Isabella?” He softly asked and Em held his hands to her lips and with tears in her eyes, she nodded. “She’s okay—”“Everyone’s okay.”His hands fell around his wrist and there was the bracelet he’d gotten for her thirty years ago. Gerald’s eyes shimmered with tears as he gazed upon the beautiful beige dress she still wore. “You kept it” He whispered and Emily nodded her head fraily.“Of course i kept it” She smiled. There was a minute of silence between them as she wiped beneath her eyes but then Isabella knocked upon the doors before walking in. “You
Leonardo burst out the other side of the door and the heat from the serenading flames hit him in his face. He tied a cloth around his nose and he searched through his foggy vision to make out everything around him.It was a painstaking effort with his feet crunching into a piece of glass and the parts of the ceiling that had crumbled to the ground. “I say we take ahead!” Theodore yelled, looking at the only way still feasible. Leo choked but somehow managed to get himself in order in a minute.The sound of approaching sirens blared from outside the door but by the looks of it, they seemed still far away. He didn’t have time—and so did Isa. “Let’s go” He chanted and they filed down the corridor, searching each room for what was left. The whole house was dark, even as the skies were visible through the shattered roof. “Isabella!” He yelled at the top of his voice, taking down the mask across his face for a second. “Joan!” Theodore yelled too, in the hopes that she was here as well.“Is
TWENTY FIVE MINUTES UNTIL MIDNIGHT.The car finally came to a halt and from a distance walked Sheriff Stevens accompanied by both Christian and Theodore. In a world that had gone digital, it was surprising that they didn’t show up with a large bag of cash to submit to the mafia Lord but rather just a plain-old cheque.“You’re nothing like i expected” Constantin turned around when he suspected their footsteps had drawn them close enough. The sheriff met his cold gaze with a defensive stance. “I’ll say the same” He muttered and then his eyes roamed both Christian and Theodore who acted like bodyguards. “I thought i told you to come alone” He looked as far as the car but with the silence that enclosed them on this deserted coast, he was moreso convinced. “Do you want your money or not?” Stevens hissed back at him, pulling out the cheque from his pocket and Constantin scoffed from his lips. “I’m not stupid. Bring out all the hostages and then i’ll give you the money.” The sheriff negoti
The slow jazz pierced through Emily’s ears as she wrapped her hands around Gerald’s neck. Indulged in the dance, she didn’t raise her head but that was until it was his turn to swing her. She moved her hips so elegantly like she was young again and after an hour, she admitted to be wrong because the
The metal doors clanged open and the shard of light that burst through speared Isabella's temples. She was suddenly awoken from her slumber as she hefted her back from being slouched against the wet, and gross walls.She didn't know when she fell asleep because bound in a twenty pound chain, there wa
There's a popular saying about how you never really get over your first love. Several arguments regarding whether it's a myth or if it's indeed true, controversially, i'll agree to the latter.There's something about loving someone for the first time that insinuates that it's your deepest—your most v
Joan’s feet stepped on a stick and a snapping sound echoed through the air—it was followed by the flight of several birds which broke away from the tree right beside them and went ahead to hover in the skies. Theodore, with a sharp reflex threw his head over his shoulders to her and she chuckled.“I’
