The next day she received a call from Neely who informed her that everyone around her, who knows her were is talking about her and Isabella was alarmed as to what had happened and asked.
“What are they talking about me?” She enquired.“Well they think that Gracie Lambert is planning to pounce on Adam Black for his money or using him as a cover while she tries to steal Alex from Isabella Jones.”Isabella was very well aware that people around her love to mingle in others' business and gossip about every one without knowing the facts but she had too much on her mind during the past week or so that she did not consider what the gossip mongers were making out of all the things that were going on in her life. Now who she wondered how she could have missed a problem that should have been obvious as soon as she began to entertain hopes of a happy ending for Alex and Gracie.Gracie's past attitude and behavior had not e“Relax darling,” he whispered. “I am not going to start another argument. I have already received warnings from mother.”Isabella did not reply. she was preoccupied with fighting the strange emotions building inside her that had started with the movement his lips pressed against her ear. This time she would not give in. she would not she told herself desperately, even as her body began to curve into his and his arms tightened around her.As the music drew to a close, Adam straightened and looked into her dreamy eyes with a glint of satisfaction is own. Then his gaze slipped down over her shoulders to the top of her dress. “so far so good.” he told her. “you may dance with other people but don't stray out of my sight.”Isabella was still stuttering incoherently to his obvious amusement when a young man with whom she had been working on a project approached her hesitantly to ask her to dance. giving Adam a smoldering
“Are you feeling better?” he asked formally.“I would feel much better if all the misunderstanding would be straightened out.” she answered bravely. But her body was trembling nervously.“Why did you stop me from speaking earlier? I wanted to make everything clear to everyone”“We will get back to it after you explain to me about the mess that you're talking about.”His tone was far from encouraging but she took a deep breath and plunged in. “I was telling Linda that I was with you, Gracie and Alex on double dates so that everyone wouldn't think that Gracie was stealing Alex away from me. and then Linda did not listen to my explanation and started saying that you were a good catch and that I should notch you as soon as possible as you were the best option for me. and when you arrived and held me tightly she thought it otherwise.” I never thought that she would make a mountain of a molehill
During their absence, the hall had become quite crowded with people who wanted to be among the first to congratulate them. If Adam had not come earlier they would have come out in search of them. Adam smiled at everyone who were coming and congratulating him and looking behind him questioningly as to where his newly engaged woman was.Adam did not want to give any excuse for Isabella for he knew that she would show up after a while but after fifteen minutes or so there was no sign of Isabella and tiny flickering anger erupted inside him and he wondered whether she was doing it deliberately trying to act very difficult so that he could go and coax her again. He looked at his mother who was looking at him expectantly so he turned around and went upstairs to look for her. He knocked on the guestroom but there was no reply. So he opened the door and went in and thankfully there was no one around but when he searched for Isabella and called out her name there was no reply and he w
Somewhere in Hawaii. On the southwest coast of the country, there was wilderness all around and it was also a very dangerous area. There many mafias hiding in the deep waters of the country. They came out from time to time to rob the merchant ship that passed for a living by killing and looting goods. Very few people knew that there were mafias who were hiding underground because there were so many islands nearby, which had not been explored by the humans yet. No country was lenient enough to spend manpower and material resources to calculate them as there were clusters of islands.Therefore no one would know that there was a very beautiful island in certain land in between those huge mountains. This island had no name and no one in a sane mind would want to come to this area as it was very dangerous. It was guarded by dangerous men and anyone who trespassed it without authorization were killed. on spot.This was also the territory of Nathan Wilde, who was
Isabella did not know how long she had slept. when she woke up, she saw as she was in a strange place and everything looked so white. there was the sound of waves hitting the rocks in-ear. She turned her head weakly and saw that there was a law huge transparent door and she could see the beach outside.She closed her eyes and thought about what had happened the previous night and when she opened it she panicked.“Nathan....” she whispered. she struggled to sit up and touched the needle on the back of her hand. it was very painful but she endured the pain and pulled the needle out. she got out of the bed and ran out on her naked feet.When she came out of the door she saw that she was surrounded by a few men who looked like hooligans she ran and shouted. “help.... can someone hear me, please help me I have been kidnapped.”The people behind her chased her closely as she ran towards the beach. Isabella only had one thing in min
“Bella, it's so good to see you. How have you been.” A hoarse voice sounded just above her head and she knew it was without looking up at him.“What do you want Oliver? I wish I could say the same thing for you but whenever I see you I am disappointed.” Isabella said flatly with more emotions on her face.“Oh my my, you haven't changed at all you are still the same feisty little girl that I knew. I just came to say hello when I saw you walking in. after all we did have a good relationship back then.” Oliver said just to make conversation but Isabella was not interested at all.“Like you said …. we had and now that I know what type of person you are, I don't want to associate with you.” Isabella said sternly.“Bella I had always liked your bluntness and I still do but your attitude is not going to change anything as you know that my friend and brother Nathan is madly in love with you and no matte
After that, the secret affair began. They would talk endlessly on the phone and when her mother was around Isabella would text him and so her mother never came to know about their affair. She was homeschooled because her mother feared for her safety. She was an heiress and the only child in the Jones family to carry on their lineage. And Isabella’s mother Victoria Jones was very possessive about her, she was always reluctant to let Isabella go to her father knowing that Isabella was just a money machine for him. He had taken half of her property when they got divorced claiming that Victoria had affairs with numerous men that was the time Victoria realized that she was a fool to have fallen in love with a scumbag like him. When he was at the university she found him to be a very gentle and caring man and as Victoria had seen all the luxuries of life when she found him she could not resist his charm. As she was the daughter of a multi-millionaire businessman she knew that whenever any
It was her eighteenth birthday that changed everything. Isabella had just graduated and was planning to go abroad for her studies but because her father's Grandfather fell ill she changed her plans and stayed back with him in Manhattan to take care of him. He was the closest to her so she decided to join a university in Manhattan. She was still going around with Nathan and Nathan made sure that he charmed her every single day. Isabella was deeply attracted to him but she never fell in love with him. For her, he was like a drug who had been by her side for a long time..They would kiss and hug each other and also snuggle around in her room while their parents were away but she never allowed him to cross his limits. Nathan was fine with it and he would always tell her that he was very happy that she was saving her first time for him and he would make it special for her.Isabella was a shy girl when it came to intimate relationships and she was very conservative because of the way her gr
