Chapter 5

Isabella POV

I woke up feeling sore the following day, and into the reality of my little fantasy and several orgasms I had thanks to a man I barely know, I decided to leave immediately without thinking of it, I mean last night was different and special to me, I can't speak for him cause he might wake up and realize he just fucked a mute loser, to save myself the embarrassment, I decided to leave first, all these thought didn't stop me from dressing up, after which i took a good look at his sleeping figure, well whoever you are, I really hope for the love of the universe and for my own sanity and dignity we never cross parts. With that j left a couple dollar notes it was not too much, I mean he could afford to pay for the hotel room. But this was done out of courtesy. Courtesy that meant a serious good bye.

Working out of the hotel suit as fast as my legs could carry me because in recent times, my family has been in the news, for all the wrong reasons and now I did not want my name mentioned as a plot twist for the narrative Charlotte and Vivian were putting out there. Outside I stopped a cab and had to turn on my phone in order to airtag my intended location to him. Minutes later Andrew's missed call kept flooding in, oh please! He should gimme a break, well while he was getting pleasured by my sister I had the night of my life which will forever remain unforgettable and buried in my heart.

The taxi dropped me off and I worked in with a straight face, nkt caring for just today, ready for whatever Vivian and her whore of a daughter had coming. Just as I predicted, there she was sitting on Andrew's legs, seeing them makes me sick. Andrew upon noticing my presence springs up and tried acting cool and concerned, his as fake as Charlotte's padded bras, they so deserve each other.

Isabella honey, where have you been, it was our fourth anniversary together yesterday and you ditched me, why?All I could do was roll my eyes at this hypocrite, I then signed to him.

Do I have to report my every movement to you now?He looked shocked, because in a thousand years, he could never predict that the calm, quiet girl could fight back and yes I did fight back today, something in me just snapped.

Isabella, will you stop this attitudeof yours right now, you had Andrew worried and instead of giving an apology, you're here throwing a fist like a child.Yes why would she not chip in, this bitch is lucky I am mute, else she would hear me say how awful she is. I turned and signed to her

Well didn't I give you two enough room yesterday, and after fucking my boyfriend, you want me to apologize?

Andrew was stunned and so was Isabella, I mean she learnt how to sign just to torment me, I bet now she regrets ever doing so. I turned to Andrew and signed.

You and I are done, you can be with Isabella freely without any worries about how I would feel or what I would think.While speaking with Andrew, I could see the guilt in his eyes, maybe deep down I always knew that I held him down, he had to learn sign language for me and now, I am letting him go, he was never mine to start with. I signed again to him

I forgive you, I just hope we can move past this and from now on stay away from each other. Yes I know I had my own little secret to keep, yet I was heart broken that this right here is the reason for my heartache in the first place.

Andrew looked guilty, wether or not he is actually feeling the guilt I do not know for I pass off anyone who can stand Charlotte as to be same with her. He held my hand and tried to explain himself.

Bella, I am so sorry for what you feel right now, I know you may not believe me, but to be truthful, I haven't done much either to expect otherwise from you. Please if you can at any point in this life, do well to forgive me, and if ever you feel like we can work things out let me know, I will be here, I mean it when I say I love you.

This got Charlotte very much angry and I was surprised as well, I expected him to throw a tantrum or something, but this wasn't my expectation. Andrew has always been a well behaved gentle man, one reason why my dad approved of my relationship with him in the first place, back then Charlotte had tried to break us up, but Andrew stood his ground about his feelings for me. For a moment I felt relieved that my feelings actually did matter to someone.

All I could do at this point was accept that this was just how it was going to be. I looked at him for the last time, the very last time I will ever look at him like that. Knowing fully well that this will erupt after Andrew leaves this house, I made the next big decision. I went into my room, packed up all my essentials and sent a message to my friend Amanda, who came in a heartbeat to help me move my stuff. I know I always let people work over me, but right now, I need this break, a break from this house and the bitter sweet memories it holds, I need somewhere safe. While in my room crying, I could hear Amanda and Charlotte getting at it. Amanda has always been vocal about her disgust for Charlotte and her mom and will seize any and every opportunity to let them know.

Just remember this, you Charlotte will come one day crawling on those plastic knees of yours begging Isabella to forgive you, and I will be there to ensure that that which you wish for will never happen.. I know Amanda too well to let this slide and she gave Andrew one final look, and said,

Your loss, and a very big loss at that, remember this betrayal and take it to your grave.For some reason I really didn't want Andrew to feel more guilty so I had to make my way down stairs to stop Amanda from saying anything. I signed to her

Amanda, stop it please, just come help me leave this place. With that she came upstairs and had her driver help take my stuff down. As if on cue, Vivian came out and slapped me hard on the face that I nearly saw stars, and Amanda did return the favour by slapping her on both cheeks.

Never again will you hurt her like this Vivian, just remember, we will come back and I hope by then you will be ready for whatever comes your way.

With that I walked to Amanda's car, taking one more look at this house, in it held memories, some I wished to forget and some I will take along to cheer me on, but NOthis time I won't let it slide, this time I will fight back, for now I need to strategies a way forward. I need to know my footings in life, and with a friend like Amanda by my side, I will definitely find a way out. As the car drove off I let down my tears, tears of pain, of confusion and of regrets, but most importantly tears of hope, hope that I will one day have all that I truly deserve without anyone taking it away from me.
