So I moved out of the hotel and found myself a small studio apartment, it was small and cosy but it had one of the most beautiful views of the city. I didn't actually need much space since I might not even be here for long.
My mother had sent me the details about the man that I was supposed to con next, I organised for us to meet, I bumped into him and purposely spilt tea on the white dress I was wearing. He was so mortified, he offered to buy a new dress. I told him that the dress was old so no need to replace it, he insisted I atleast have dinner with him.
I knew then that I had him where I wanted. I had hooked my fish because he fell for the bait. After our first date, I had already had him hooked on me. I told him what I thought he wanted to her and he listened.
After our date he invited me to lunch, I went again and pretended to be the perfect date, it was in our fourth date when he officially asked me to be his gir
Isabella's POV The limo took us to a hotel, I have no doubts that this is a five star hotel. When he said that it was a charity event I didn't think it was going to be this fancy. We got out of the car and the driver opened the door. Flashes of cameras came in blindingly when we got out of the car. Everyone called out Nick's name and wanted to talk to him. I guess he is more famous than I thought which might just be a problem because I do not want to be in limelight. "Nick, Nick is this your new girlfriend?" One reporter asked. "Yes my very private girlfriend..." He said. I must admit that as much as I hated all the attention, I loved that my face was hidden under a mask, I loved that no one could really recognise me like this. I just smiled and waved at the camera on the red carpet. New York is nothing like home, the people here are nothing like the
Tristan's POVAt first I had doubts about what who I saw, I even thought that I was imagining things but when my brother came up with her on stage, I knew exactly who she was, even under the mask I could still see the real her. I just wonder why she came here with that douchebag Nick.Nick might be handsome and he might also be rich but he is a class A prick, he is not seri about anything in life, as the only child, he feels like everything is owed to him, he buys expensive cars only to crash them when he is drunk, he throws away money useless things, he spends most of his money on high end prostitutes.He has never worked a day in his life, his father was supposed to retire last year and hand over the company to him to run but he messed that up as well, on the first quarter of him in charge he lost over fifty percent in profit shares thus forcing his father to stay on.In a nutshell, he is not respo
Isabella's POV"Bang Bang Bang!" A loud knock came from my door. I don't who it was at the door bit whoever it was better have a good explanation for waking me up this early. I look at my sister sleeping beside me as if there wasn't someone on the door.Last night was not as I expected it would be but at the end I had a lot of fun. Nick disappeared on me with the woman who bought him at the aycy and as for me I danced the night away with Tristan, by the time I got home, I was drunk but I was very happy."Bang! Bang! Bang!" Another knock came."Okay... okay I'm coming." I said and got out of bed. I out my feet in my morning slippers and I walked to the door, I didn't care that I was in my very short PJ's."Who is it?" I asked."It's me, open up." I heard my mother's voice and just like that, my morning was ruined. She wouldn't have came her
Tristan's POVI took a huge risk and I hope that it pays off, after the auction I saw Nick leaving with the bimbo he was with and that made me extremely happy, I don't even know what she saw in him. She could do so much better with someone who knows what they want.I am glad that I finally found her again and we spoke, it has been weeks since I last saw her and being with her again felt like a dream. We have set up a date to meet in the next coming days and I can't wait.I was in my office minding my own business, I had started working on putting together the money we raised for the charities so that I can hand out the cheques. I don't have a doubt that the money will do a lot of help, I will personally see to it.I donated a lot of money to the charities and even though it's for a good course, I did it entirely for my own selfish reasons, I didn't want anyone to outbid me, I had to mak
Isabella's POVI can safely say that I am way in too deep and I can't breathe, I feel suffocated by mother and things she wants from me. She doesn't know this but what she wants me to do will destroy me from the inside. What she wants from me will destroy me.She has made up her mind about what she wants, she has made clear about what I should do and she won't back down. I wish there was another way around this but I know that there isn't. If I try to walk away from everything and start a new life with Tristan, she will ruin things for me.She has left me with no choice and that only makes me resent her even more. I know that this would be very easy for me to do but it will also be the hardest thing I could ever do. Tristan is nothing like my other marks.I actually love him, I didn't want to admit this to myself before but at the auction, when he held me close and I felt his warm
Tristan's POVTalking to my brother has given me a lot to think about, especially when it comes to Isabella, I want her and I have to have her. I don't think I've wanted anything else more than the way I wanted to be with Isabella. I love her a lot and I am man enough to admit it.It's kind of cute because any other woman would have thrown themselves at my feet, why wouldn't they? I am young, I am rich and handsome. Any other woman would have grabbed the opportunity with both hands. They would have been here already.After my brother left I realised something. I realised that Isabella is afraid of something, I just don't know what it is, maybe the things that I think attract women to me , might be the very things that scares Isabella away from me.I can't say that I blame her either, guys like me are usually play boys, they age countless girlfriends. The first time I
Isabella's POVI have always thought that falling in love was going to be amazing, I have always imagined that it would be like a fairytale, just like I read in the books. I thought that it was going to be perfect but I guess I was wrong, it is nothing like the fairytale I had imagined.Not with the mother I have, not with the life I live, I feel so caught up, I don't even know what to do. He kissed me and I let him, I let him kiss me and I loved it. I wanted it so bad and now that it happened, I know that I can't turn back the hands of time."Are you okay?" Tristan asked me. I think that he felt me tense up."Yes I'm fine, I think that maybe you should leave." I said and walked towards my bedroom but he stopped me before I could go in."Stop... What are you afraid of Isabella?" He asked me.
Tristan's POVI guess I should have believed Isabella when she told me that she was not the woman I thought she was, maybe I would have saved myself a lot of trouble. Last night was supposed to be the beginning of something beautiful but it turned out to be an epic failure.I didn't think that things would turn out the way they did last night. I was trying to show her that I really care about him, that she is the woman I want. I wanted to be honest about my feelings so that she could be honest about her feelings for.Now I understand what they mean when they said that "be careful of what you wish for." I wanted her to tell me the truth and now that she did, I don't know how I feel for her at this point and time. A part of me wished it wasn't true because I didn't want to believe it.I guess I painted this picture in my head, a picture that Isabella was perfect and that she could do no w
