Mag-log inThe continuous ringing of a phone woke Isla from her sleep. Stretching her hand to the side of the bed, she picked it up. The name Bridget, along with a young woman's picture, appeared as the caller ID.She sat up straight and answered the call the next second."I thought you weren't going to answer me. Seems like you're enjoying yourself, spending quality time with the love of your life," Bridget said from the other end.Isla creased her brows, then figured she must have meant Damien."We're not... I mean, he's not—""You don't have to explain yourself. I have something for you, and I need you to come over as soon as you can," Bridget interrupted. Before Isla could ask another question, the line disconnected.She got out of bed and washed her face before stepping outside. As usual, Damien was in the kitchen making breakfast. It had become his routine now, and this time, he made plenty."Whoa, what's the occasion?" she chuckled curiously."I just felt like cooking a lot today," he shr
Priya stared at the papers in her hand as if she were reading an autopsy report. She blinked again in confusion, her vision already blurring with tears."Priya," Dev muttered her name. He didn’t even know what to say at this point or how to explain things to her.She shook her head, as though everything was a dream and, within seconds, the paper would vanish from her hands, but it was real. Dev really had divorce papers he had already signed."You want a divorce?" was the first question she could bring herself to ask, her voice coming out in a cracked whisper."It's not what you think," Dev said, shaking his head.A chuckle escaped her lips. It wasn’t what she thought? How else could he explain what she was holding?"Dev, if you didn’t want this in the first place," she gestured to the space around them, "you could have just left me alone when I ran away. But you chose to chase after me and go through with the wedding. You chose to make me think you felt something for me. You chose to
The Internet was exploding with Isla on the hot topic. Every scroll through her screen showed different headlines.Breaking news: Exclusive intimate video of Isla Khan and Damien Da Silva now going viral.Topic for today; Fans are losing their minds over Isla Khan and Damien Da Silva’s sex tape.Mails Daily reports: Khan’s Empire former CEO, Isla Khan, caught cheating on her husband as a video of them having an affair was released."I can't believe this is real.""I used to respect her.""I feel so bad for Gareth. All he's ever done was be a supportive husband.""I've always thought her harassment claim on Damien Da Silva was BS. I guess it's not really harassment if both of them were enjoying it after all?""Fuck Isla Khan.""Yes she's such a hypocrite"Isla scrolled through the various headlines and comments on her phone. Her fist clenched but she didn't feel betrayed because Gareth had done worse than this. In fact, she had gone through enough trauma to leave her numb.Thinking of
An appetizing aroma woke Isla up the next morning. A soft smile spread across her face as she jumped down from the bed. She couldn’t even remember the last time she had been this happy to get up. She washed her face before following the smell of bacon and eggs to the kitchen, where Damien was.She simply leaned against the doorframe, crossing her arms as she watched him cook happily, humming under his breath. He was wearing a black tank T-shirt that hugged his muscular frame perfectly, and the sight before her was simply marvelous. She couldn’t even remember the last time someone had cooked for her, except for their time in Europe, when he had cooked, but she hadn’t liked him then, so she couldn’t bring herself to eat it.He paused when he noticed someone behind him. A curve formed on his lips as he turned around. Isla stood there, not even trying to hide.“Hey,” he greeted softly.“Hi,” she smiled, trying to stop her lips from stretching any wider.“Good morning,” he said again.“Mor
Isla turned to her side, and he was staring at her with quiet inquisitiveness. It made sense that he would want to know why a man was emotionally abusing her, yet she was still with him.I mean, she was Isla Khan after all. She had the power to put a stop to whatever caused her discomfort, at least, that was what people would think.She let out a brittle laugh at his question, tilting her head slightly to the side to hide the sadness on her face."I can't leave," she replied in a rusted tone.Damien's brows drew together, darkening the look on his face. He wanted to ask more questions, but on second thought, he decided to keep his mouth shut, not wanting to worsen her sadness."I owe him," she added, sensing his curiosity and making it easier for him.There was no point in hiding anything. He had already seen the peak of it all."What do you owe him?""Two hundred billion," she replied.Damien's eyes almost popped out of their sockets on hearing what she just said. "You owe him two h
Isla spent the day quietly by herself, mostly keeping herself busy playing games on Damien’s phone. Occasionally, she would check for any news about Gareth, but there was nothing, the public still hadn’t figured out she was missing. Everything looked normal, and that made her even more worried.The last time she saw Gareth, Damien had knocked him out. She wasn’t sure if he had woken up, or if he was still there, or if he was already on his way to make them pay, just like she had seen in her dreams.She shut her eyes and breathed in deeply. So this was what it felt like to sit at home with nothing to do. She didn’t like it.Time flew by like a breeze, and it was already evening. If she was going to stay with a man she had almost ruined, who still had it in his heart to help her, then she should do something nice for him in return.Nothing came to her mind because the place was very quiet, and everything she needed was already available. Her gaze swept across the kitchen. At least she c
