Isabella's POV
Within my better judgement and the defiance of my heart I left him. I was supposed to leave tomorrow but being close to him and spending more time with him only made things harder for me. I was just delaying the inevitable, something that was going to happen no matter what.
Being with him has been a wonderful experience and now all I have of him is this car that I am driving now. Everything I own is in the boot as I drive myself to the four seasons Hotel. I wondered a lot of things.
I got out and took out my bags, I had a reservation but I ha to cancel it because I was staying with Tristan in his mansion. I suppose this was all too good to be true. I knew that a girl like me could never be with a guy like him.
My plan was leave at dawn while he was asleep but after the way he treated me, I felt like I owed him some what of an explanation. This was by far the hardest thing I have ever had to d
Tristan's POV.I saw her, I liked her and I knew that I had to have her. It was a hot summer day at the hotel in Georgia where I was visiting my brother as he had moved into the country. I don't even understand why he chose this place because we were city boys, always have been.We were never raised in poverty, not because our parents worked hard to make money but because my father was the biggest drug lord in Detroit. We never wanted or needed anything that we never got.But that doesn't mean that we loved the lifestyle our father lived, well at two of us didn't, my older brother was exactly like my father except that he was the most reckless of us three.My mother left us a long time ago, being the last born I never knew my mother like my brothers do. I was five years old when she left us so I don't even have any memories of her anymore. To my father, I was his favourite.Even though that might seem like
Isabella's POVMy mother has only been here for a few days but I am already tired of seeing her face, I just don't want to be Arin them anymore and now I actually have a shot at happiness for once in my lifez even if the shot will cost me millions of dollars.I wish I can say that understand why my mother is doing this but I don't, I don't get it all. I have been thinking about Tristan a lot these days. He is always on my mind, so much so that I even imagine seeing him in places.I left him and I told him that what we had was over when the truth was that what we had was only beginning. I don't like that it ended before it even started, I didn't even give myself a chance to see where it would all go.Mama has had me going around the city in all the tip restaurants searching for our next mark. I hated that I had to do this again, that I would have to scam some guy who loves me. I know what I want
Tristan's POVIt has been one long week without Isabella in my life and it feels like a lifetime. I can't eat, I can't sleep, I can't even work. My brother has even called me out on it. He said that my father wouldn't like to see his favourite son denied the chance to get what he wants.Don't get me wrong, I am glad that my father is in my life and despite his criminal ways, he has always been an amazing father. There is nothing that he won't do for me. Which is why I can't tell him or my brother about Isabella.If I tell my brother then he will tell my father, because my father loves me, he will make sure that I get Isabella, he will make sure that she agrees to be mine, I will he getting what I want but not in the way I wanted it.I don't want to be with Isabella because my father or anyone else forced her into it, I want to be with her because she wants to be with me. I want her to give me h
Isabella's POVAnother week has gone by and mama just went out again to search for the perfect mark to scam. After Tristan called me I panicked, especially since my mother heard that I was on the phone with someone.My mother has managed to take away everything I love from me, I didn't want to give her something else to take away so I lied about who I was talking to on the phone. I told her that it was the lawyer telling me that the divorce settlement had been deposited into my account.The truth is that I had no choice but to lie to her. After that I switched off my phone and threw in my closet. I told my mother that I didn't know where it was, I just couldn't risk Tristan calling me when my mother is around. She could just make the situation worse for me.Leaving him was hard enough, I don't think that I can do it again. My sis has decided to sleep in yet again. I don't know what it is with her the
Tristan's POVThey say that when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. I wish I could make lemonade with my life but I can't. I don't know if it is a last born thing or not but I am not okay with the fact that my father is dying. I haven't been okay about it since the day he told us.He is downplaying it like it was nothing, like it was just a common cold. I mean how can anything be be okay with the fact that they're dying? How can anyone be okay with it? I am not. I just cant accept that he is really dying. All he cares about is bidding us against each other.As if making up that stupid challenge was no enough, he said that we all have to do it and if one of us decided to bow out then we all forfeit and he will give the money to charity along with all his legal businesses.That means that he wants me to be in it no matter what. I don't like being put on a spot like that, our Sunday meal together was
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
