CHAPTER SIXTY-NINE

ISABELLA’S POV

After almost three weeks of being in the hospital, I was finally cleared to go home. My mother and Jess who were supposed to leave weeks before had stayed until I was out of the hospital. They had to leave eventually.

“Are you sure you don’t want to come with us?” My mother asked.

She sighed. “You have to think reasonably. You’ve been kidnapped twice in your entire life and

    CHAPTER SEVENTY-ONEISABELLA’S POVI didn’t want to agree to attend the event with Julius as his plus one. Especially after he told me he missed our family and wanted us to get back together. I didn’t want to entertain that idea and make him think there was a chance of us getting back together. I found myself agreeing to go because of one person. Adrian. The only reason I agreed to be Julius’ plus one was because of Adrian. I convinced myself I was doing it to spite him but I knew I was doing it for another reason entirely.I dropped Theo off at Vivian’s place after picking him up from school and went back home to start getting ready for the event. I didn’t know what the event was about. I only knew to dress formally. I’d gone shopping for a new dress after I confirmed it with Julius.The event started at 7pm and by 6:20pm, I was ready and waiting for Julius to pick me up. He texted me and said he had arrived at my building. I didn’t want him to waste his time coming up so I rushed d

    CHAPTER SEVENTYADRIAN’S POVI’d been gone for almost two weeks to Germany for a work trip. I wouldn’t lie by saying that something wasn’t wrong. I’d been slacking off from work for a few months now. A part of me attributed that to Theo and Isabella coming into my life. I had to pick myself up and do better.Isabella had been discharged from the hospital but I hadn't gotten to see her yet. I was too focused on getting my business back in order. There was also the problem of Dominic and the other guy from Isabella’s story.We didn’t know if Dominic was dead. There had been no trace of him for more than a month. We decided to put him behind us and focus on work.

We had a meeting with the board of directors. I was running on two hours of sleep and several cups of coffee.After the meeting with the board which ran longer than usu

She sighed. “You have to think reasonably. You’ve been kidnapped twice in your entire life and it’s all because of that man. I get he’s rich and he’s the father of your son but you don't have to be stuck with him. You can leave the child here and come back with us.”“I wasn’t kidnapped. I already told you that. I was attacked in the parking lot of my workplace.” I’d been trying to convince her for the past few weeks that I wasn’t actually kidnapped.“You don’t have to lie to me. I know what actually happened.”“Just drop it, mum. I’m not coming back with you guys.”“This man obviously ca

    CHAPTER SIXTY-EIGHTISABELLA’S POVIt had been two days since I woke up from my coma. I could barely move but I’d regained my voice, even if I didn’t have the strength to speak. Adrian hadn’t come around since the night he left. I wish he were here. I had a lot of things to say to him that night but I just couldn’t speak.My mother was asking me what happened every second of the day. I told her the version that Adrian told me but she still didn't believe me. She didn’t trust him. She asked me if he had threatened me. She wasn’t a big fan of him since she found out he was the reason I was kidnapped the first time. She had a hard time believing he didn’t have anything to do with it this time either.The only people who had come to see me were my mother, Jess, and Vivian. I hadn’t seen Theo yet and I didn't want to. I didn’t want him to see me looking like this. I hopped on a voice call with him once I could speak though.Jess was taking me on a walk in the garden. And by walk I meant he

We held a small funeral for Martin.The Nathaniel mess was behind us and we were moving forward with our collaboration. There were other loose ends to be tied up but we had moved several steps forward from the damage.We still didn't know where Dominic went or who he was. He hadn’t appeared at the club anymore. If it weren’t for Isabella’s limp body lying in a hospital bed, I would have a hard time believing that he ever existed.I hadn’t gone to see Isabella in her comatose state. I attempted to once but her mother was there and she didn’t let me in. Even though I knew I didn’t need her permission to see her, I didn’t push. Her mother was angry at me. I had told them that it was a random attack. Isabella had simply been at the wrong place at the wrong time but they didn’t believe me. They also tried to take Theo back to their apartment but I did

    CHAPTER SIXTY SIXADRIAN’S POVI didn’t know what we were going up against but after I received the address from Dominic, I pulled up with every person I had available. When we got to the warehouse, there were no signs of anyone around the warehouse. Surely the fucker would not be stupid enough to pull this off without any backup. He had given us 20 minutes to arrive. Realistically, it would have taken us almost an hour to get there. I got behind the wheel and got there in about 30 minutes, 10 minutes ahead of everybody.I waited for everyone to arrive before we advanced into the warehouse. We all had our guns out but there was nobody on site. We found Jeremy and Martin hanging from the ceiling with their hands tied up. Martin was dead. Jeremy was close to dying.Isabella’s limp body sat on a chair. She showed no sign of life except for the small pulse I felt. After scoping the place out and making sure nobody else was actually there, we carried the three bodies out.Since Martin wa
