Ryan's pov contd The way she moved her hips as it swayed to each step she took. It was a good sight to behold and I was mesmerized. She stopped in front of the sofa and turned to face me as her eyes sparkled with excitement.I knew exactly what she was doing to me and I had already fallen for her seductive moves. “So what is the next step we are taking Ryan?” I took a step closer to her as my eyes were locked on hers. I could feel the tension and the anticipation building up.“What do you want to happen now?” I asked with a low and sultry voice. I could see how my actions affected her and she didn't even try to hide it.Her eyes sparkled with mischief as it sent shivers down my spine.“I want you to make me forget about all the stress I have faced of lately” I smiled at her as I felt a sense of determination course through me. I was more than ready and willing to make her forget everything except for me. “Obviously Mia. You know I can do that and more of that”, I said and my voice
Isabella's POV.I stood behind the reception desk as I tried to clean it. I have been working all day and it was already getting tiring, I didn't even have the time to rest but it didn't bother me much when I knew that once I was done with the reception, my work would be over and I would finally get to go home and get some rest.I finished cleaning and I was about to go back into the main hall when I felt someone behind me. I turned to see who it was as my eyes met his and my heart skipped a beat.It was Declan but what the fuck was he doing here in my place of work? I know I didn't give him directions to my workplace, so how did he find it? I didn't need to stress myself about all that because Declan had become a private investigator who goes around spying on me whenever he wanted to.He smiled at me and I felt a flutter in my chest. I wouldn't lie that of lately, I have found myself thinking about him often as I wondered if I would ever see him again but here he was now, and right in
Isabella's POV.I stood in front of my full length mirror as my eyes trailed over the reflection that stared back at me. My own reflection. The pink striped gown I was putting on hugged my figure in all the right places. I couldn't seem to forget about the fact that it has been so long since I was this happy. I couldn't even remember the last time I looked at myself in the mirror to admire my beauty. For a moment I thought my beauty might have faded but then I was wrong. It truly never faded; it just wanted a bit of happiness to show itself once again.The dress was short and I felt very comfortable with it because short dresses were absolutely my favorite. I wasn't that kind of girl that really loved to be all covered up. I loved to look hot and sexy.I spinned around and I giggled to myself, allowing myself to feel the moment and I felt alive. “Not bad for a Genovese girl” I murmured as a smile appeared on my lips.It felt good to dress up again and I was glad that my wardrobe did
Isabella's POV I could hear faint voices in my ears as the harsh flicker of light messed with my vision. The scent of antiseptic hit me next along with the sound of beeping machines and I blinked slowly as my eyes opened.I found myself in the hospital and my head began to match different fragments of everything that happened before I passed out and I knew that it was Declan that brought me to the hospital. The door opened and I presumed it was Declan so I looked at the door, expecting to see him but it was someone else.“Hi Isabella. I'm doctor Morrison, how are you feeling now?” the doctor asked and I smiled at him.“I don't really feel much better but I guess I'm better than before” I replied and he nodded his head at me.“That is going to be your usual pattern from now. You are not going to have the strength like a normal human being”My lips were slightly parted as I stared deeply into his eyes. His words hit me hard as though ice water had been poured on my face. I was confused
Ryan's POV.My phone rang in my hands as I was sipping my hot tea. I stepped out to take the call, I thought it was going to be quick but I guess I was wrong either way.It was my Grandma and I knew she was calling to check up on me. To ask if I have had anything to eat or guilt trip me for not coming around enough to see her.I placed my phone on my ear and the first thing I noticed was the seriousness and urgency in her voice.“Ryan. Please, I need you to come over to my place, right at this moment” she instructed, as I sensed a hint of urgency in her voice.“Is everything okay with you Grandma?” I asked.“I just need to see you Ryan. Come over and we will talk about” she said as I noticed her voice was shaky. I couldn't ignore that and I didn't ask her any more questions as I walked inside and grabbed my keys.“Okay grandma. I'm on my way to you” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I reached her house and before I pressed on the doorbell, she opened the door herself and my eyes settled on her. It w
Isabella's POV.Declan’s face was just inches away from mine and I could barely breathe. I didn't know if it was because of the anxiety of the expectations I had of him, I really had no idea what to think at that point in time. I felt his warm breath on my skin as he sent tingles down my spine. My heart pounded so loudly in my ears and I was sure that he could hear it, which made me even more shy.His eyes left mine and drooled down to my lips. He had this lingering gaze on my lips. Was he going to kiss me?I was supposed to turn away from him. I was supposed to push him back but instead I was completely frozen on my bed. I was caught up in the moment, Caught up with him.His lips came closer to mine and I couldn't stop him. Just as his lips were about to brush against mine, he paused and I gulped hard.“Do you want a kiss from me?” he whispered, the corners of his lips twitching into a bright smile as if he already knew the answer.I blinked at him as my mind went in search of answer
Isabella pov's condI stared hard at him. He always looked so sure, like he would carry the world on his shoulders and he wouldn't even flinch while doing that. And a part of me just wanted to let go of everything but I couldn't. At least not yet. When I was still hiding the truth from him.“Very good Declan. You have to stay with me for a long time, because I think I will need someone to forcibly feed me my medicines for a while”“Then it's a deal between us” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The nurses checked on me before leaving and the doctor said I would be discharged the next day because I was still placed under observation and there were a lot of samples and medical tests they were to carry on me.Visiting hours had ended but Declan sat beside me as though he belonged here. Like there was nowhere else he would rather be and maybe for the first time in a long time. I would let myself believe that someone would want to stay just for me.“Are you cold?” he asked as he noticed the way I curled my f
Ryan's POV.“Grandma” I screamed and I rushed downstairs, towards her then I knelt down beside her. I picked up her body and placed it in my arms as I tapped her cheeks trying to revive her.“Grandma. Please wake up, you know you can't fucking do this to me. I need you more than ever” I begged and she opened her eyes slowly then she shut them again.“I told you I wasn't immortal right?” she said in a voice that was audible enough but I had to strain my ears just to hear her.She tried to speak but then she began to breathe heavily as she struggled with herself. I didn't know what to do, if I should take her to the hospital or just wait for the family doctor’s arrival. The doctor said he was close by so I expected that he was going to reach here soon enough. But if I decide to take her to the hospital, we might arrive late because the hospital is far from the house and what if she doesn't make it?I shook my head as I removed such thoughts out of it. I wasn't meant to be thinking abou

Ryan's pov contd“I will forgive you because you are sounding so sweet. Just make me feel good like a woman again. I guess you know what I mean by that” she whispered and I looked down at her to see a mix of mischief settled in her eyes.I knew I was more than ready for what would happen next between us. She removed her body from mine as she walked further into the living room and I couldn't help but notice how she was drawing me into her temptation. The way she moved her hips as it swayed to each step she took. It was a good sight to behold and I was mesmerized. She stopped in front of the sofa and turned to face me as her eyes sparkled with excitement.I knew exactly what she was doing to me and I had already fallen for her seductive moves. “So what is the next step we are taking Ryan?” I took a step closer to her as my eyes were locked on hers.

Ryan's POV.I stood outside Mia's door. I had been standing in one position for so long and I kept on hesitating if I should knock on the door or not. In that moment, my head had so many thoughts and ideas lingered inside of it and I was confused on which one I had to listen to.Earlier on I didn't think much about it but now, I couldn't help but wonder if I made a mistake by coming here due to the way Mia stormed out of my house angrily. Probably I should just turn around and leave? What if she didn't want to see me? and what if she was still angry at me? How do I cope with all of that? Her anger was no joke after all.I wanted to turn back but something deep inside of me stirred up and I knew I couldn't just resist the urge to be near her when I have been thinking about her all day. After a whole lot of contemplation. My fingers finally found the doorbell and I pressed on it repeatedly as the sound echoed through the silence.“It’s you again! I thought I told you to leave me the f
Levi's pov“If Mia doesn't want to be with me anymore then I am not going to force her to do so. Because that isn't love but toxicity and obsession, which is extremely bad. If I force her to be with me, I will be hurting her” I lashed out and my mum also stood up to her feet, challenging me.“You are talking about love right? Don't you dare talk about love to me. We sent you into Mia's life to trick her into falling in love with you but just take a good look at you, everything backfired in your face. She became the woman who tricked you into falling in love with her. She got into your head and now you are acting like a lovesick fool” my mum expressed in a harsh tone and I balled my hands into fists, clenching them tightly beside me.“You can talk to me in whatever tone you want mum but don't talk about Mia like that” I warned.“If you don't want me to talk about her like that then grow some guts. You have to fucking grow it Levi, because if you don't do something about this matter we h
Levi's POV.I stared at the untouched coffee in front of me as my mother's voice resonated in my ears. “Levi?” my mum called out my name, bringing me out of my thinking phase and I turned to look at her.“Yes mum” I answered.“Have you spoken to your girlfriend lately?” “What girlfriend are you talking about mum?”“Are you really serious? Don't act as though you don't understand what I'm saying to you. Why would you even ask me such a question? Who is your girlfriend, isn't she Mia Genovese?” my mum asked and I chuckled at her words.My stomach clenched tightly inside of my body and I knew much earlier that this day would finally come and play right in front of my face. The moment I agreed to have lunch with my parents in the same house, I should have known that they weren't after family bonding like the usual family would do. I noticed the way my dad folded his newspaper and kept it aside then he looked at me straight into the eyes. “One of the reasons why we called you here is be
Ryan's POV.I was seated in the living room and the entrance door swung open as I watched Isabella step inside the house. She didn't notice me at first or maybe she just pretended not to notice me, she can always be guilty of that. I crossed my arms as she shut the door behind her. “Where are you coming from?” I asked as my voice interrupted the silence that erred in the air. She stopped in her tracks, then she turned to look at me. For a moment, she just stared at me with her unreadable eyes and then before I could blink. I noticed her moving towards me and she stood in front of me. She was too close to me and he began to have an effect on me. I inhaled the sweetness of her usual familiar vanilla perfume. She rose on her toes and her face was barely an inch away from mine, just as if she was about to kiss me and my heart pounded in my chest. But then she smiled, I wasn't expecting her to smile at me. “None of your fucking business” she whispered and her breath was warm against my
Ryan's POV.I leaned against the edge of the bed as I folded my arms across my chest. My eyes were locked on Cairo and and I couldn't stop staring at her because I felt as though she had completely lost her mind.“Cairo, are you fully aware that we could have talked downstairs? So why did you want us to come into one of the rooms?” I asked and she closed the door behind her with a soft jam.She walked towards me and her heels clicked against the cold tiles as she smiled at me. “It's because whatever message I have to give to you is important and I had to rush to you immediately. I got the chance to,” she replied with a low voice.“Is there a problem at the office?” I asked as I felt bothered and I needed to hear her answer in order to quench my curiosity.She didn't respond to me immediately. Instead she just stood still and stared straight into my eyes, making me feel more nervous than ever.“Cairo, can you please speak up and not just look at me like that” I snapped at her and she d
