Isabella sat with Damien in the living room, both of them laughing over something silly he said. She wasn’t really paying attention though, her mind kept drifting. Julian sat a few feet away, pretending to scroll through his phone, but his eyes kept flicking up at them.

He didn’t like what he was seeing.

Then Isabella’s phone started ringing. She picked it up slowly and frowned when she saw “Unknown Number.”

She hesitated, but Damien nudged her playfully. “Are you not going to answer?”

She sighed and pressed the green button. “Hello?” she said softly.

A deep, familiar voice crackled through the speaker.

“Hey, baby
 how are you doing?”

Her stomach twisted.

Her face went pale, her smile disappearing instantly. She quickly ended the call and blocked the number without saying a word. Damien noticed her change in expression immediately.

“Is everything okay?” he asked, frowning a little.

“Yeah,” Isabella replied quickly. “It’s nothing.”

But before she could even put her phone down, it rang

  • Wife for a year, mine forever    chapter 26

    Isabella pov I didn’t even realize when I fell asleep last night. Damien and Julian hadn’t come back yet, and honestly, I didn’t care. My head was pounding, my heart was still stuck somewhere between fear and embarrassment. So I just crawled under the blanket and slept.Now, it’s morning. The smell of coffee, pancake and bacon filled the dining room as I sat opposite Julian, pretending to be busy cutting my pancake into perfect squares. Damien sat beside him, the both of them quietly eating while I pushed my food around my plate. My stomach turned every time I remembered last night.How dare Nathan show his face again?After everything he did to me? After all the failed promises, all those lies, he had the nerve to appear and try to gaslight me.I stabbed a piece of pancake harder than necessary, chewing like it offended me.“Isabella?” Damien’s voice pulled me back. He was watching me closely, a crease between his brows. “You okay?”I blinked, snapping out of my thoughts. “Huh? Yeah

    Isabella's pov The TV was on, but I couldn’t even tell what I was watching. My eyes kept drifting to the door like a fool. Every sound outside made my heart skip, a car, footsteps, anything.Where the hell was Julian?Damien was sprawled beside me, clearly amused. “You’ve looked at that door about fifty times in the last ten minutes,” he teased. “You expecting someone?”Heat rushed to my cheeks. “No,” I said quickly, grabbing the remote and pretending to adjust the volume.“Sure,” he said, clearly not buying it. “In case you’re wondering, he went to the Williams’ house for dinner.”I blinked. “The Williams?” The name sounded familiar, but I couldn’t place it.Damien tilted his head. “You haven’t met Sarah yet?” The name hit me like poison. My stomach twisted so hard I almost laughed. Sarah, Of course.My mind went back to that day, her smug little face, the way she poured water on me like I was trash, the way she kissed Julian like she owned him.I clenched my fists, “Why did he go t

  • Wife for a year, mine forever    chapter 24

    The argument started like every other one loud, heated, and impossible to stop.Sarah ( Isabella ex best friend ) stood in the middle of the living room, her hands shaking, eyes blazing with anger. “You said you were working late again, Nathan,” she snapped, voice rising. “But you weren’t at work, were you?”Nathan exhaled loudly, running a hand through his hair in irritation. “Sarah, not this again. You’re being paranoid.”“Paranoid?” she shouted, stepping closer. “I saw the messages! You called her baby! You’ve been sneaking around for weeks!”Nathan’s lips twisted into a smirk. “You went through my phone again, didn’t you?”“Answer me!”His eyes darkened. “I’m not doing this with you.”“Yes, you will!” she shot back, her voice cracking with emotion. “You think you can keep lying to me and I’ll just stay quiet? Who is she, Nathan? Tell me who she is!”“Enough!” he roared suddenly.The next thing she felt was the sting.A harsh slap that echoed across the room.Sarah stumbled backwar

    Isabella pov Best friend? Julian? That grumpy man has a best friend?“Why didn’t I get invited to the wedding though? I want to see the wedding pictures,” Damien said, his earlier disappointment already melting away into that easy, teasing grin again.“Well
 it’s a bit complicated,” I muttered, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear. “We don’t have a wedding picture.”He raised an eyebrow, leaning slightly forward. “No wedding picture? Don’t tell me it was one of those secret courthouse things?”“Something like that,” I said, forcing a small laugh. Something like that and also nothing like that.“Tell me, Mrs. Rothwell,” he said, his voice dropping to that teasing murmur again, “how does it feel being married to Julian?”I met his gaze, “Exhausting,” I said flatly, he threw his head back and laughed “typical Julian ” he said chuckling. He walked closer, stopping in front of the oven. “And what’s that inside?” he asked, bending slightly to look through the glass.“Banana bread,” I re

  • Wife for a year, mine forever    chapter 22

    Isabella's pov Why did he just
 leave?I sat there staring at the door after Julian walked out this morning, his scent still clinging to the air like it refused to leave me. One minute, he was kissing me like I was the only woman in the world and the next, he was gone.I sighed and fell back on the bed, my face buried into his pillow. Gosh, why does it still smell like him? That woody, clean scent that made my heart do weird flips.Images from last night kept replaying in my mind his lips all over my body, the way I was screaming his name, how his lips
 tasted, the moans. I groaned into the pillow “Get it together, Isabella,” I muttered, half laughing, half panicking.My cheeks felt hot, so I sat up, brushing my hair away.My eyes widened, Niles’ room is right below Julian’s.“Oh my God,” I whispered, covering my mouth. “He must have heard everything.”The thought alone made my face burn even more. I jumped off the bed immediately, grabbing my nightgown from the floor and muttering
