~ISABELLA~

“Are you sure about this? You don’t need to let these people pressure you. As your late husband’s wife, you have the right to let the will be read when you feel it is the right time,” I couldn’t help but say.

I had kept quiet after Adrian came in because I felt it was a family matter and I didn’t want to butt in.

Even though I had a lot to say about Sebastian and his parents’ audacity to walk into Susanna’s house and talk to her that way, I held it all in.

I tried to stay calm, to mi

  • The Billionaire’s Irresistible Desire.   CHAPTER SIXTY

    ~ADRIAN~I hated that she still looked beautiful as ever. I hated that I was stuck with her for the rest of my life.Living with her was going to keep reminding me of how she betrayed and used me, then dumped me like I was nothing.I didn't even blame my body for breaking down. I overworked myself.And even as I lay down feeling weak, the thought of how to deal with Sebastian’s Dad wouldn't leave my mind.I felt someone cleaning me up to reduce my temperature but my eyelids seemed too heavy to open up.Was it Isabella?I dismissed the thought immediately because there was no way Isabella would do that.She seemed to hate me more now, than when she told me she had been playing me. When I felt much better and my eyelids weren't heavy for me to open, my eyes fluttered open and I saw Carlos stride in.Yeah right, Carlos must have been the one taking care of me.“Dude, don't be a pussy. A real man doesn't get sick,” Carlos teased, making me roll my eyes.“Says the person who has everythi

    ~ISABELLA~“Don’t worry yourself, Bel,” Susanna said when she called back. “The doctor says it's just a little fever. Take care of him. He’ll get better soon.”I didn't like the sound of what she said. I frowned at the thought of openly caring for Adrian even when he was awake.Adrian wouldn't like it either because we could barely stand each other as it is.“That's going to be very difficult,” I told her, and then explained everything Adrian told me after we got here.She laughed as though it was a joking matter and this made me frown in displeasure.“Just play by his rules for now till he calls down. I know my Adrian. He can't hate you forever. Actually, you aren't supposed to let everyone know that you are Adrian’s wife the moment you start working at the company,” She told me.“Why?” I asked her, trying to get a better understanding of what point she was driving at.“Because then it’d be like you aren’t worthy of your position. That’s why you must use your maiden name when you sta

    ~ISABELLA~“Just act as though I'm not in this house. Don’t talk to me, don’t look at me, and don’t even come near my room. And at work, while you are being trained, act like you don't know me. No one should know you are my wife,” He said coldly.I never expected that he would say I should act like I didn't know him at work too.“Wasn't getting married to me because you wanted to solidify your claim to your foster family’s company?” I cocked a brow at him.“Don’t do that,” He glared at me.“Do what?” I asked, utterly confused as to what he was on about.“Don’t act like we are just having a casual conversation. I'm damn serious about everything I’ve said,” He spat coldly.I looked away because I was afraid that if I maintained eye contact with him, he’d be able to see how much his words affected me.“Don’t get me wrong Adrian Belkov. I don’t give a shit about you. The only person I’m obliged to listen to, is your mom. So I ask again, wasn't getting married to me because of the company?

  • The Billionaire’s Irresistible Desire.   CHAPTER FIFTY SEVEN

    ~ISABELLA~For someone who hated Adrian, I panicked and was the first to reach the scene where I saw Adrian lying passed out on the floor.I made a silent prayer that it better be that he passed out and not just died.So I quickly checked his pulse and heaved a deep sigh of relief when I realized that he was alive.Susanna rushed to us and knelt beside Adrian too. She looked like she was about to break down.“What are you guys waiting for?” she yelled at the maids. Call the doctor now!!”The security men in the house came to lift Adrian and took him to his room.I know it was wrong, but I kind of wished Adrian would remain that way, because he looked so peaceful and handsome now that he was quietly still and not trying to get on my nerves.“Stop pacing about mother. Calm down. He is still alive,” I tried to calm her down but she kept pacing back and forth.“You're not the right person to tell me that because you're pacing too Bel,” She told me.It was then that I noticed I had been pa

  • The Billionaire’s Irresistible Desire.   CHAPTER FIFTY SIX

    ~ADRIAN~I stayed out all through last night. I was supposed to meet Ashley to end things once and for all and then head back home.I had even decided to pay her off so she could leave me the hell alone.But just when I was about to leave, Carlos’s dad called.He said he had gotten intel that my foster dad’s brother, Sebastian’s dad, had been embezzling money from the company.That changed everything.I told Carlos to handle Ashley and went straight to the company even though it was a Saturday night.It was already late, and the building was empty except for security.The silence helped me think. I sat in my office and started going through every record and transaction I could find.The hours passed without me realizing it. My eyes burned from staring at the screen too long, but I couldn’t stop.If that man had really been stealing from the company my foster parents built, then I was going to find it.Around midnight, I was damn hungry so I ordered French fries.It wasn’t much, but I

  • The Billionaire’s Irresistible Desire.   CHAPTER FIFTY FIVE

    ~ISABELLA~My brows creased the moment I saw something red on Adrian’s shirt.It looked like a lipstick stain, it was faint, but also clear enough to make my jaw tighten.For a second, I just stared at it, feeling my chest grow heavy.My heart sank, but I quickly masked it before he could notice anything on my face. The last thing I wanted was to give him the satisfaction of getting a reaction out of me.He looked exhausted, like he hadn’t gotten a single hour of sleep. His eyes were dull, his hair a little messy, and his shirt was slightly wrinkled.Anyone else would’ve thought he’d had a rough night, but I knew better.That tiredness had nothing to do with restlessness and everything to do with Ashley.Was that how she kept him all night, having sex with him in ways he once did with me? The thought made me sick.I could almost picture her red lipstick, the same color that was now smudged faintly on his shirt.I took a slow breath, forcing myself to sound calm. “Good morning,” I said

    ~ADRIAN~“Your foster Dad is dead,” Ivan said, making me freeze.I was shocked to my very core. How did my Dad die? I wasn't aware he was sick. So how the fuck was he dead?My heart ached after hearing this. My heart ached for Susana, my foster Mom. I knew how much she loved my foster Dad.I mean w

    ~ISABELLA~“What do you mean by this house now belongs to you?” Adrian asked his Uncle with a frown.I frowned too because I knew his Uncle wasn’t up to any good. I know I hadn't come into their lives for long but I knew a bad person when I saw one.Adrian's Uncle chuckled dryly afterward and raise

    ADRIAN’S POV “You see that girl you met when you and Adrian walked into our house?” Susana asked Isabella while I peeped through the half-opened bathroom door. Why was I hiding? I still didn’t know, or should I say I was in denial. I was embarrassed to face Isabella after the hot make-out section

    ADRIAN’S POV“He is gay; do you know that? But I still love him, and I am willing to be with him. So back the hell off, bitch.” The slender girl said and slapped Isabella on her cheek.This enraged me, but before I could say anything more, Isabella slapped her back.Nice job, my little vixen, I wanted
