Adam decided not to go home and came to his hotel as he wanted to think and reflect. He strode into his private quarters and snapped the door closed behind him. Opening a set of glass doors he stepped out into the balcony. The wind was blowing really hard and ripped his night-dark hair around the line of his jaw. He tried to focus on the steady roar of the waves pounding the Cliff face beneath and the stream of damp, salty air, while he waited to calm his anger which had engulfed inside him because of Isabella.
It's been three days since he had last met her but she never even called him once to check on him. How dare she after what he has done for her, she doesn't even have the courtesy to call him up and ask him how he was doing. He decided he will ignore him ignore her for some time to let her come back to her senses.The vibration of a cellphone dragged him back inside, sliding the phone out of his pocket, he checked the screen and receivedAfter Alex came into his room, he looked at his phone and saw there were several missed calls from Neely and two calls from Isabella.He wondered why did she call him so many times and dialed her number.It was early in the morning but he knew she would be up doing her yoga and he was right she picked up the call immediately.“Alex you bastard, you better get your ass back soon or I will kick you to death,” Neely shouted.As much as he loved his sister he knew that she was a wild child with no control over her mouth so he chose to ignore her.“What have I done?” He asked calmly.“God, you are shameless, do you even know what your fiancé has suffered when you were not around and on top of that you broke her heart, how dare you, Alex,” Neely shouted again.“What happened to Isabella? Neely tell me?” Alex panicked as soon as she heard Isabella’s name.
Isabella checked the time on her phone as she drove her car towards her client's office, she had exactly fifteen minutes to reach it, George Adams’s office was a little further to her place and as it was the rush hour roads were jam-packed. She was really confused as to why did he give her a time at peak hour when everyone was returning home.On edge and impatient, Isabella used every shortcut she knew, but even so, she laid in late when she reached the dim underground garage.She was late for the presentation that was becoming increasingly important, she grabbed her handbag and the project report and exited the car.Her heel tapped on the concrete floor as she strode on the elevator, just as a sleek darker sedan cruised into the nearby space. The tinted driver's side window was down, giving her a shadowy glimpse of the driver. The car reminded her of the vehicle which had been following her for the past couple of days but the car
Isabella was looking at him furiously. She had spent the last few minutes in tension and anxiety and it turned out to be him. “What are you doing following me around? Do you want me to file a police complaint against you for stalking me?” Isabella scolded him angrily. Adam not feeling embarrassed at all, he just came out of the car and looked at her with amusement. “Try it and see.” He said smugly. Isabella clenched her fist but asked in a calm voice. “Why are you following me?” It’s not been long since they were talking to each other, so she did not want to spoil their relationship. “I was stalking you as your assistant had informed me that you had come to George Adam’s office all alone and knowing what a pervert he is I just wanted to make sure that you were alright and just when I reached the office, I saw your car pulling away so I followed you back,” Adam explained. Isabella listened to his explanation and had a pu
On Saturday afternoon Isabella put on her most covered bikini and covered it with a short dress and stuffed her underwear and various odds and ends in two a carry bag. Then she sat down glumly by her living room window to wait for Alex. He had called her yesterday night and was looking to the outing on Saturday and she didn't have the heart to tell him not to come but she had to go with the plan or she would be in big trouble. She had asked him only one question. “Is Gracie coming to see the pool?” And he has said that she had been invited by Adam and he also pointed out the fact that Gracie had told him that he had observed Adam staring at her and knew that Adam had an eye for her. And Isabella had returned sourly. “Well it was kind of her to observe such a thing but you know that I have lost interest in anyone right now Alex and please don't talk to her about it anymore.” Alex knew that there was no point argui
Alex got out of the car as soon as he parked at the doorway and shook hands with Adam before coming around to open Isabella's door. “Isabella, Gracie,” Adam greeted in his usual charismatic way. Like Alex, he was wearing shorts and a polo T-shirt and Isabella decided that he looked much younger but even more handsome and physically more imposing. “Come inside and say hello to my mother she is waiting in the lounge. Then after that, I will give you a quick tour of the hotel if you are interested?” “I am going to see it as I have heard that you have made a lot of changes to it,” Gracie said excitedly. “And the outside lawn looked so marvelous that I have forgotten that this place could look so beautiful. We had been a frequent visitor of this place till the old Duke died but after he died they shut down the hotel and it was no longer allowed for the outsiders.” The lounge room opened to the right of the large hall and extended back
As Gracie removed her shrug Adam was watching her very closely. “Isabella, I like the color,” he remarked calmly. “I'll get you a towel to put over the chair cushion the synthetic material tends to stick to you in this unbearable heat.” As he walked away towards the cabin leaving her staring after him in confusion. Somehow he always managed to throw her off balance and it just wasn't fair, Isabella thought plaintively. She had stared at his bare chest as if she had never seen one before. A wolf whistle interrupted her thoughts. “I like the view, Isabella,” Alex said giving her an appreciative grin. It might have been a coincidence that Gracie chose that moment to splash water in his face but Isabella was implied to doubt it, as she watched a laughing protesting Gracie try to avoid his attacks, however, she was less inclined to doubt that Gracie has changed at all. She was still watching the two in the pool when Adam returned carrying several towel
Around three in the afternoon, the four of them separated to go and change as Mrs. Black had sent a message for them to come down as the brunch will be served soon. Isabella and Gracie took turns using the shower and the hairdryer which was attached to the bathroom and Isabella gave a sigh of relief at such thoughtfulness and after that, they went out to the big open terrace, which gave a full view of the Afternoon sun. The men were already there talking with Mrs. black while her housekeeper finished loading a table with plates full of sandwiches, doughnuts, cookies, and cakes. “Oh my God!” Gracie exclaimed when she saw the feast that was laid down in front of them. “I am going to have to fast for a week after this.” Isabella who suffered from a sweet tooth nodded in agreement but said wistfully. “I suppose it wouldn't be that bad and we could always carry it back home if we don't finish it up.” Alex saw them and stood up. “We were beginning t
Mrs. Black had insisted they stay back for dinner as it was quite late in the evening. But all of them declined as they wanted to go back home.Since no one was ready to stay back Mrs. Black insisted they stay back for a few drinks as she thought she should treat them to a good wine, which she had ordered from Italy as it was their first time to meet her informally.All of them agreed and finished almost five bottles of wine before packing up for the day and saying their goodbyes but it so happened that Gracie got really drunk and so did Isabella and Alex was having a hard time holding them and carrying them towards his car so Adam volunteered to drop Isabella home, while Alex went ahead to drop Gracie home.Isabella was feeling very hot as she drank way too much it was more the limit she drank occasionally. She closed her eyes as Adam drove the car towards her house.But on the way because her body was heated up her mind was going all w
