Mia's POV.The click of my heels filled the four walls of my parent's house as I made my way towards the sitting room. My mum was seated at her usual spot towards the window with her favourite parsley tea in her hand as she slipped it slowly, scrolling through her phone then she glanced up at me.“Mia you don't look like someone that just lost a baby” my mum said, dropping her cup down on the table.“Maybe, it's because I'm not heartbroken about it” I replied, shrugging my shoulders at her as I sat on the couch beside her and I noticed the way her eyes looked at me with curiosity. “That is your child we are talking about. It was you and Levi's baby, I thought you were in love with him?” my mum asked and a dry laughter escaped my lips. It was so funny of her not to know my real intentions behind wanting Levi all to myself and I achieved it.“I was never in love with Levi mum. I just wanted him because he belonged to Isabella, I just couldn't stand watching her have everything. So I did

Mia's pov“Do you think I am that cheap to hook up with Ryan? I'm a business woman and here to discuss business with him, so shift away from my path otherwise you won't like what I will do to you” I warned, pointing a finger at her and before she could reply, Ryan's door opened.“ Where is all this noise coming from?” Ryan asked as his eyes landed on me.“Mia?” He called out my name and I smiled at him.“Your personal assistant Cairo tried to stop me from seeing you” I said, glaring hard at Cairo as Ryan glanced at Cairo with a frown on his face then he turned back to me.“Mia, why are you here unannounced?”“I need to speak with you. It's very urgent” I said as I noticed the hesitation in Ryan's movements then he finally nodded.“Come inside my office” he urged and I looked at Cairo one last time with a smirk on my face and walked into his office as the door clicked shut behind us.“What is going on Mia?” Ryan asked and I folded my hands across my chest.“I should be asking you that

ISABELLA POV I walked into Sapphire Lounge, a famous and expensive bar in New York. The colorful flickering lights and the girls in skimpy clothes dancing seductively, when was the last time I came to a bar? “ Hey! When you said we’re going clubbing, I thought you meant a regular club,” my best friend, Cario tugged on my gown. “ I thought you said we were going to have fun tonight. Are you having second thoughts now?” I frowned, slightly disappointed. “ I might even snag myself a man for the night,” I laughed eccentrically. “ That’s obviously not it and you want to have a fling? Anyway, my problem here is how are we supposed to afford anything here?” She pointed at the expensive lounge we had entered. “ We’re college students,” she reminded me. “ Have you forgotten that I’m from a wealthy family?” I turned around to look at her. “ How can I not remember? That’s even how we were able to get in to begin with,” she folded her arms.

ISABELLA POV “ I don’t want to talk to him,” I said in a low voice. “ I came here to drink till I forget everything that happened or at least till everything feels numb,” tears slipped out of my eyes as I hiccupped. “ Are you stupid or just naive? Do you really think drinking is going to numb your pains?” A masculine voice beside me came. “ Who the hell are…” my anger quickly faded away once my eyes met the older man beside me. His shiny black hair styled in a pompadour with intense grey eyes were all too captivating. “ Who the hell are you to butt into our conversation?” Cario raised her voice on him. “ Your conversation wasn’t exactly private to say the least,” he sipped from his glass. “ That doesn’t mean you can just butt in, idiot!” I insulted. “ Besides, what would you know? You all are scum,” I accused as I emptied another glass of alcohol into my mouth. I hiccupped. “ And here you are crying over scum, you’re pretty much tr

ISABELLA POV I adjusted awkwardly on my seat because now that the effects of the alcohol I had drank had begun to fade, it was embarrassing having to see him again. How did he not feel embarrassed? Or is it because this isn’t his first time? “ Let’s get straight to the point. Would you be my wife?” He asked and for a minute, my mind had to process his words before I turned a bright pink. “ I know I’m gorgeous and all but who falls in love with someone they just met!?” Was he out of his mind? “ Forgive my boss’s teasing. He was just trying to pull your legs,” who I assumed to be his secretary sighed. “ You’re very interesting,” he rubbed his chin. He loved my reaction to his bizarre words. “ A-anyone would react the way I did,” I stuttered. “ Stop joking around and say what you have to,” I exhaled. “ I wasn’t joking about the marriage part though, I just said it vaguely,” he answered. “ And my name is Ryan. I’m well a

ISABELLA POVA sense of unyielding resistance rose up inside me. I shook my head in defiance. “ No.” My Dad’s face turned red with rage. “ You will return to your room right this instant and forget about this nonsense, Isabella!” But, I refused to back down. “ It’s okay for Mia to complain unnecessarily for no valid reason whatsoever, and you don’t call that a tantrum.” I said, my voice steady. “ But when it comes to me, it’s suddenly a tantrum?” My Dad’s expression turned ugly. “ I’m not about to have this conversation, neither am I gonna argue with you, Isabella.” I smiled, but it was tinged with a deep-seated anger. “ You should be glad I’m leaving. After all, that’s what you’ve always wanted, right?” My Dad’s face twisted in anger, “ Isabella!” and he raised his hand to hit me, I flinched, preparing for the impact. But before his hand could make contact with my face, a firm voice yelled out from behind him. The loud voice cut through the air, m

ISABELLA POVMy Dad let out a nervous laugh, his eyes darted to me before he said. “ It’s not like I’m against it, Mr. West. But don’t you think she’s a bit young? She’s just twenty-one and still in school….” Ryan cut him off, his voice turned firm. “ But you don’t have any problem with your younger daughter getting married, do you? So why is it a problem now?” My Dad turned quiet at Ryan’s questions, and tried avoiding Ryan’s intimidating stare. Ryan’s eyes glinted with amusement. “ From what I’ve seen and noticed, Isabella seems more intelligent, more mature and more financially savvy than your younger daughter. And yet, you gave her away in marriage without a second thought. Why do you have a problem with Isabella getting married?” My heart raced with joy and excitement at Ryan’s words. Even though I didn’t have any ounce of feeling for him, still I was grateful for his support, and at this point I’d do anything to go far away from my parents. Ryan turn

ISABELLA POVBut I cut him off, my anger boiling over. “ Just give him the phone! Now!” There was a pause, and then I heard Ryan’s voice on the other end of the line. “ Isabella, what’s wrong?” He asked, his tone calm and collected. But I was having none of it. “ Did you have to announce it?” I yelled, my voice echoed through the phone. “. Did you have to make it public? What were you thinking?”“ Why did you announce it first before informing me?” I demanded, my voice shook with anger.Ryan’s calm tone was starting to get on my nerves. “ I didn’t even think that we were going to announce it publicly,” I continued. “Ryan’s voice came through with a brief pause. “ Hold on a sec, Isabella. Do you think that you would be able to get back your mom’s company by keeping everything private?”I felt a surge of frustration. “ Ryan, don’t forget the base of our relationship. You know that after all this is over, we’ll go our separate ways and get a divorce. It’s a contract marriage,

Isabella's POV.The silence in the house was self attacking to me. Ryan had left for office a few hours ago, he informed me that he will be back before dinner but that's none of my business if he comes back or not. I didn't care about him.I was left alone in the house with nothing but my thoughts swirling in my head. I had a remote control in my hand but it wasn't of any use to me because I had gotten used to it already. I wasn't paying attention to the movie anymore because I had watched the movie three times already in one sitting. It was the same storyline and the same happy ending that I had expected. I leaned my back against the couch as I was dressed in an oversized hoodie that I loved so much. The sleeves of the hoodie swallowed my hands but he didn't bring me the comfort I needed. My fingers absentmindedly brushed against my phone screen as I saw that there were no missed calls or no new messages from Declan. The truth was that I missed him so very much. I missed Declan a lo

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

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

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
