Isabella's Pov contd“He’s just so pathetic. I am sick and tired of him, I just want him to fucking leave me alone” “You didn't remember to add that he is also irrelevant”, Declan added without disagreeing with me and I loved him so much. I meant to say I loved it so much, what was I even thinking when I thought about loving him?“Ryan doesn't love me and he never did. I realized a long time ago that he can't use me anymore because he just wants control and the shine. He wants to own me because he couldn't keep me” “Then let's make sure Ryan knows what he has lost to me and we will do it together,” Declan said as he stood up and walked towards the door. He brought out a velvet box and placed it beside the sink.“Is that what I think it is?” I asked, raising an eyebrow at him.“I don't know what you are thinking about” he teased me and I pouted my lips at him. “But all I can say is your court marriage dress is ready. It's custom made and the colour is black, while the texture is slee
Isabella's POV.The moment I shut the door to the mansion, I felt silence creep inside of me as though it was my second skin. The cold from outside didn't spare me as it followed me inside.I felt betrayed deep down to my human bones. I took in so much humiliation after standing in front of flashing cameras while the man who once shattered my heart tried to piece me back into his broken fairytale.I dropped my phone on the hallway table and headed straight upstairs. I didn't turn on the lights because I felt like the darkness instead of my room was comforting enough for me. I didn't ask questions because I didn't want any pity and I just wanted me to exist alone. I pulled my clothes away from my body as though I was shedding a different version of me. A version of myself that had been manipulated and humiliated as I slipped my body into the jacuzzi.I wanted to have a warm bath and I let out a loud breath, one I didn't know I had been holding for long. I could feel the steam of the w
Levi's POV.The restaurant was quiet. It was too quiet for the way my heart thudded inside of my chest, I had chosen a private corner for both of us. I needed us to have privacy between both of us.But as usual. She was late, she was the typical Mia Genovese.I drummed my fingers on the table as I was slowly losing my patience in waiting for Mia. I watched the untouched glass of wine I had ordered for her, it was her favourite red wine or maybe it used to be. Because she changed so fast and it was hard to keep up.Just when I was deep in thoughts. Mia appeared at the entrance of the restaurant with a tight navy dress and a black heels and her lips were painted with the same red shade she wore on the day she told me she was pregnant.And it was also the same shade she wore the day she aborted our baby. She spotted me from a distance and I could see that her body stiffened as soon as she saw me but she tried to be comported.It felt as though her instinct told her to turn her back and r
Isabella's POV.We had barely closed the door behind us when I kicked off my heels and sank my ass into the velvet sofa. I couldn't overlook the fact that my head buzzed with different questions and the expensive wine aftertaste clinging to my tongue.Dinner with Declan's grandmother had gone surprisingly well. She was a sharp woman who could easily cut through anyone by her words. He told me Ryan was her favourite grandson but from the look of things, it seemed to me she didn't hate Declan. It felt as though she loved him so much but wouldn't show it and I don't know the reason behind it but I was aware of her taking glances at him. I have just grown to like her much more than I had imagined or even expected.“You surpassed my expectations and handled everything so well” Declan said as he loosened his tie and I smirked at his words.“Was I supposed to crumble under the pressure of the circumstances surrounding us?” “You really don't give it easily right? Anyways I am going to send
Mia's POV.I stormed out of that damn godforsaken excuse of a hotel room as my heels clicked violently against the floor.Every muscle in my body was shaking with shame and rage. How dare Ryan put me in such a position to feel so embarrassed of myself! I felt disgusted at him and at everything that connected me to him.Ryan texted me and when I saw his message I felt relieved. I purposely gave him some space so I could make him realise that I was the only woman he needed in his life, the woman who would get married to him and birth his babies but all along, I was clueless that I was being used by him.He told me I was the only one he needed tonight but it was all just mere words. I still couldn't believe that I had been deceived for so long, it was impossible for anyone to deceive Mia Genovese because I had always been the one deceiving people in all these years but this time around my card flipped and I got played right in my face.And yet there was another reason for me to get angry
Ryan's POV.I could still hear Isabella's sound of her heels ringing in my ears and her perfume scent still lingered in the air.My fingers slipped through my hair in frustration as my heart pounded in my chest due to the frustration . Damn her. Damn that smile in her eyes when she told me that she would never be mine. As if Declan Westwood could offer her anything I couldn't. I grabbed my phone and I checked my reflection in the mirror. My tie was loose and my shirt was half untucked, at that moment I looked at every bit of the wreck I felt inside of me.I needed a drink and something stronger than the wine I had downstairs. “Driver. Rosemont hotel now” I screamed into my phone as I stormed out of the private estate discreetly.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I was in my hotel room and I quickly gulped down the glass of whiskey. I couldn't even count how many glasses I have had but I knew that my vision was starting to become very blurry.I paced back and forth with anger inside of me. How dare Isa
