Tristan's POV
When I made the announcement I felt proud and I remain proud for the moment I took and let the world know that I was leaving my father's company, it was time for me to fly out of the nest. I know that I can do this on my own, with a little focus, I can build my own empire. I don't have regrets about that, the only I am not happy about is the way I acted after the speech, I shouldn't have said all this things I said to Bradley but I felt like I didn't have a choice.
Like he was flaunting Isabella in my face, I also cant believe that Isabella is with him, I mean how can she just from me to him like that? Maybe Isabella is not the woman I thought that she was. Maybe I was wrong about her, I suppose she must feel like she has won but I know my brother and he is the worst of us, the most extreme. He was also right that I was the one who introduced him to that world because I did. I lender on it by mistake.
Isabella's POVSo after the dinner that went down south very fast, Tristan insisted on taking me home, I was standing outside waiting for an Uber. Going to the gala dinner was supposed to be a fun time for me. To finally get out of the apartment and have some fun. I didn't think that it would end so badly. Tristan said a lot of things and some of them were really below the belt. I didn't think that he would react the way he did, he even followed me to the ladies room, not that I blame him, Bradley didn't want to leave my side.I was not happy to learn that I was a bet between the two brothers, especially since I was sure that Bradley wanted friendship, up until that night, I never thought that I could see us being anything more than friends. I don't know but I don't understand why these grown men will stoop so low to get their father's inheritance. All of them feels entitled to have a piece of the pie and as for their father, I
Bradley's POVI have been trying to get hold of Isabella for the last few days and I have failed at every attempt. She has told her doorman not to let anyone up into their apartment and on top of that, my calls went unanswered. Sunday dinner wasn't any different. Of all the things that I thought my little brother was capable of, I did not see this one coming. I never thought that he would quit and to top it off, he did publicly. He did that knowingly that my father will take the news very well. My father is beyond livid.He told me that I should take over the family business because Theodore had quit, that was all we spoke about on Sunday. I think that it is safe to say that I might also be written off the will given my behaviour at the table. After Tristan quit I realised how brave he was for challenging my father like that. I have always been his puppet, the one person he can count on to do all the dirty work while he reaps the rewards and
Hannah's POV"Come back to bed..." Brandon said to me. Okay so we are officially a couple and unlike Isabella, my relationship with Brandon is real. I can't believe that he has been at one of my weddings, he told me that he was wondering how I ended up with that guy, he was talking about my second husband. The thruth is that I never loved any of them, all of my husband's were there to serve a purpose. I was with them to serve a purpose, it is different with Brandon though, I think that I am actually in love with the man.I actually never thought that I would ever feel this about someone else after all that I have been through. My mother would be mortified to know that I actually feel something real for a man, she has always said that love was just comfort food for the weak and uneducated. I beg to differ. Love is a beautiful thing and up until now I didn't know what beautiful was. To care and love someone and have them feel the same about yo
Tristan's POVI know that my father has always wanted us to do things the way he wanted and as much as I want to do my own thing, I don't want to lose my family. I have realised that I wouldn't want Bradley to have Isabella because I could stand to see her happy if I was not the one making her her feel that way. As much as it pained me, maybe living town won't be such a bad idea, I know that my father would very much appreciate all that, especially since we seem to be fighting for her.Abigail came to my house to tell me that my father blames her and that he offered her a lot of money so that she can leave town, I told her to take the money because I thought that it would be best for everyone if she was gone. I mean at least the competition between my brother and me will be done for. I also have a good reason to believe that he is the one who will take over my father's business because I walked away but I also know that he will
Isabella's POV"How did it go?" I asked Bradley."They believed me." He said."I hate lying to Hannah... " I said to him."I know but we don't exactly have a choice." He said to me."I can't believe that I killed a man." I said with tears running down my face. This was not easy to deal with. I can still remember everything that happened that night. When I close my eyes, I can see the man laying down there on the road, his lifeless body laying still on the cold floor. I mean it was hard to deal with all of this."It was an accident Isabella, it will get better." Bradley said to me.A few nights ago I ran someone with my car, it was a man, that was not an animal, what if he had a family? A wife and children waiting for h to come back home? I just can't pretend like it didn't happen. I feel so awful th
Bradley's POVI never thought that my father would do something like that, why would he offer her so much money? It can't be just because Brandon and I are going for the same girl, it is way more than that. I have to find out what is really going on with him, for a man who seems terminally ill, he seems very healthy. I always thought that he would outlive all of us,the hateful ones always do. I am definitely sure that my father has a plan up his sleeve, one he didn't want any of us to find.I suppose we ruined every plan he had when Tristan and I decided that we don't want any part of it. I mean we were all getting along so well. I finally had my little brother back but of course that didn't last long. I mean I know he also wanted her which is why I didn't understand why he told Isabella to take the money, I mean I thought that he would have wanted her to stay. I think that my little brother is too scared to go for what he want
Isabella's POVHaving to deal with the accident is the hardest thing I have never had to deal with. Bradley told me to take it one day at a time but it is easier said that done. I can't seem to find anything to do that will help me to forget, one thing he was right about was that I couldn't go back to the apartment until I can deal with what happened. Hannah knows me all too well, I can't risk her finding out what happened, Bradley said that it would be easier to keep this secret if we kept everyone in the dark.I suppose he is right and if I am going to convince my sister that I am fine, I have to believe it first. I am just worried about the man that died, I can't keep my eyes off the TV screens or newspapers, I keep on looking for a missing persons notice or something about him. I suppose all that I want is to know who that man was and where he was from, I need to know if he has a family that misses him, someone out there wh
Bradley's POVMany many many years ago...Life is all about choices right? Well maybe for some people. For me, my choice was taken away from me and that hardened my heart, I have to be the man that I need to be and that man has no time to deal with anything but the business. My father is training me to take over his drug business. I have no choice but to what he wants and tonight he gets to see if I am ready to rise to the occasion. I have to prove to him that I am ready to take over." Are you ready son?" My father asked me, he was smiling, he was so proud of me. Only him can be proud of something like this, the fact that I am going to do something I know that my mother would not approve of, I know that she would be disappointed in me. I wish that I could change things and follow the path that I want but I have no choice, this is the life I was chosen for."Here, take this." He said an
