It’s been almost two days and Isabella was sulking at home. She had requested Alex to work from home for a week as she did not have any designing work that month and the accounts could be handled at home. Alex had readily agreed because he thought Isabella was stressed out because of their sudden engagement. He did not want to pressurize her and let nature its course.
Isabella was really scared as the person she had seen was none other than her Stepbrother Nathan Wilde. His mother married her father after her mother died and Nathan was adopted by her father Gregory Jones as he did not have a son.
She did not want to think about them and had left everything and moved to Santa Monica. She did not want to have anything to do with her father who was willing to sacrifice her in order to save his face. She had enough of torcher when she was living with them. But she knew that Nathan has been looking for her for a long time but she hid her identity so well that he
“Ezra, are you trying to tell me that that he wants to get married to me so that she can get the estate. He is sick and crazy. Why would grandpa do such a thing to me? I know he wanted to secure my future but hasn’t the wealth and fame make me lose my mother. And now Nathan is must be searching high and low. That reminds me, where is he now?" “He dropped by into my office today in the morning, it seems he had gone out of the station and had just returned yesterday. I was shocked to see him as he has the habit of ordering me around to come to visit him, whenever he needs anything but today he drove in personally. Why are you inquiring about him all of a sudden? Did something happen?” Ezra noticed that Bella sounded a bit nervous. "I saw him at the pier on Sunday. I recognized him immediately and escaped from him as soon as I could. I did not know what to do I was so scared. I have been hiding from them for the past four years and if he finds me again, I don't
Harvelle’s always had a good crowd whether it was a weekday or a weekend, very lively. But luckily Neely, Alex, and Isabella managed to find an unoccupied booth above the dance floor.This was an unplanned get-together as Alex thought that Isabella was sulking at home so he wanted to cheer her up and Neely had been pestering him to take Isabella out but eventually managed to come along with them shamelessly. Alex felt hopeless around her sister. He wished she would find herself a steady boyfriend and settle down but that was not happening that soon as she always bullied the men around her. They had a good view of the dance floor from where they were sitting. But the noise was very loud. They literally had to shout and talk. After they sat down they gave the waitress their orders. And started looking at the people dancing around the dance floor. Isabella was very fond of dancing but today she didn’t have the mood to do so. It was a relief for her when she came to know that Nathan had
Isabella enjoyed dancing and when she was on the floor she forgot about everything. Alex was a really good partner when it came to dancing, as he moved gracefully with her as the DJ played “Torn” by Ava Max. Isabella gave herself away with the music releasing the tensions which were building inside her. Alex was enjoying and humming the songs with her. Isabella out of the corner of her eye observed that two people dancing near them were staring at them she lifted her head, she saw it was none other than Adam and Gracie. She noticed that Adam looked completely out of place in his dark business suit as people who came to that place usually wore colorful attires. But he stood out among others as he swayed his hips and moved with the music and Isabella found herself staring at his sexy back.I must be crazy she thought as she shook her head and concentrated on dancing. As she had to admit that Alex and Gracie did look very good together, especially when they mov
Isabella was swaying her hips and dancing on the floor as Adam was a very good dancer, apart from the overbearing personality, he had great dancing skills. She was impressed. The crowd was getting restless and it was getting hotter and hotter and Isabella suddenly felt nauseated and she burped real bad, she was embarrassed as she had not eaten any junk food yet she felt like puking. Maybe it was because of the heat so she decided to rush to the washroom. “Adam, I am sorry but I need to go to the washroom, please excuse me.” She said and ran out covering her mouth. Adam was surprised and stood still for a moment as to why did she panic and then stared at her back. Is she alright? He wondered and walked towards the place where they were seated, to wait for her as he could see that Alex and Gracie were still engrossed in deep conversation.Isabella went inside the washroom and threw up, it was really bad. She felt sick and disgusted.
Adam began to feel a little anxious after waiting for Isabella for so long and finally decided to go and fetch her. But as soon as he walked towards the washroom he saw Isabella falling on the floor. He rushed towards her and tried to lift her. “Are you okay, Isabella?” He asked huskily. Shaking her head, Isabella groaned with pain as she had put a lot of pressure on her left hand while she fell so it was paining miserably. She tried to speak and finally whispered. “Adam get Alex. I can’t move my hand.” Adam clenched his fists as soon as he heard Alex’s name but endured it and without listening to her swooped her up and carried her towards the exit. "What are you doing?"Isabella spoke nervously as Adam carried her away. "Taking you to the doctor." He said sternly. Isabella was about to refute butcoincidentally they met Alex. Alex saw them and started forward. “What’s wrong with her?” “S
After Isabella woke up the next morning and the first thing she was aware of was the intolerable pain on her hand which was slightly better than the previous night. Then her feeling of relief disappeared as memories of the previous evening began to come through in her mind. She was wondering why did she ever agree to Alex's crazy scheme of getting engaged. Now she was in a mess. With Gracie Lambert’s return and her obsessive nature she knew life would never be as simple as it was anymore It was all Adam's fault too, he was a dangerous, disruptive influence; Whenever he was around, he brought out impulsive feelings in her thoughts that she had left safely behind her forever. And now she was stuck with the consequences. Even if she could bring herself to let Alex down, they would both look stupid if she broke the engagement. She was grateful for the protection Alex had given her, she thought with a certain lack of consistency. And he needed her right now to overcome hi
It was quite late in the evening when Neely finally decided to go back home and Isabella went to her workshop Isabella went to her workshop to finish up the design. She was so engrossed in her work that she ignored the slight pain that she was having in her arm. and after them some time she just gave up and sat down staring at the half-finished design. she wanted to finish the design as soon as possible so that it could be handed over to Adam and she did not have to face him or meet him, again and again, to make things awkward between them. Suddenly she heard someone banging the glass window, of her workshop. she lifted her head and saw Adam calling out but she could not hear him because the glass was soundproof and he looked so damn funny with his expressions that Isabella had to control her laughter.She stared at him for some time and wondered what was he doing in her backyard and then finally walked towards the door to open it for him. But as soon as she o
The previous night when he had gone back home he did a lot of thinking and decided that they had started on a wrong footing so he wanted to make everything straight. He knew that Isabella was engaged to Alex but he could see that the relationship was not what it looked like and the kind of feeling that he had for Isabella couldn't be ignored by him anymore. He wanted more of her and so he decided to pursue her slowly he knew that Isabella was a different girl and his mother also insisted to him that he better be a little bit cautious around Isabella as she liked her a lot. imagine his mother warning him not to play with a woman who had nothing to do with her, she was not even a close relative.“Have a seat,” she invited glancing over her shoulder as she moved towards the living room telling him to make himself comfortable.“what would you like Adam eyes coffee I'm sorry I didn't ask your preference before it's just that I love having coffee in the evening.”“Anything would be fine I'm
