Isabella's pov;After coming out of the cafe, Mr Martinez and I were on the way to the car. We had been walking in silence, the only sounds being our feet against the pavement and my breathing. He looked at me from time to time, but he did not say anything. I was too caught up in my own thoughts to notice where we were going or where we were. After several blocks, we came to the car. I didn't want this to end soon. I held Mr Martinez's hand while he was about to open the car door and asked, "Can we take a walk on these streets for a while?" He nodded and said, "Yeah. A walk sounds fine."While we're walking on the street, I recognised that it was my way to my middle school. I said excitedly, "Mr Martinez, this is the street I take to my school everyday.""Middle or High?""Middle school. For High school, we should have turned on Wheeler street. Wait, Have you seen my middle school before?" He shook his head and said, "I've only been to your high school once for the match when you

Isabella's pov;In college,Tracy mocked me while I was writing my assignment, "Looks like your lips went back to normal." "Stop teasing me already." I said back to her as I was more focused on my assignment.She made funny faces and asked, "By the way, what's with your outfit today? Turtleneck sweatshirt in the middle of July? Aren't you feeling hot?" "No." "You really got a weird taste in dressing." She went back to work on her assignment. I touched the cloth around my neck and raised it a little more. Today, when I came out of the shower, I saw a hickey on my neck. I remember how shocked I had been to see it there, and then how angry I had gotten at myself for being careless enough not to cover it up or maybe even put something over it. That's when I realised why Harry buttoned up my shirt. Mr Martinez! How can he leave a hickey like that? Because of him, I have to wear a sweatshirt in the middle of the summer to college. When will my classes get over? I want to go to Mr Marti

Isabella's pov;When I woke up, I felt lighter. I think it's because I talked it out with Jose. When I think about someone I share everything with is Sophia. She's the one I go to whenever I feel down or happy. After she got a girlfriend on her own, it felt like a distance grew in between without our consent. Without Sophia, i realised that i got no one to share my thoughts with. After talking with Jose today, it felt like I got a friend to share my thoughts again. Thinking about that, He always made me feel comfortable around him. He knows before I say it out loud. He acts before I ask him to. Even though it's tiring to be beside him when he's lovey-dovey with Tracy, I liked how they take care of me. Tracy really got a great guy for her so it wasn't wrong to be lovey-dovey with him. I got good friends.I came downstairs and walked to the dining hall merrily. After greeting, "What's for breakfast, Kirk?" I asked as I sat down at the dining table.Kirk placed a bowl of cereal in fron

Isabella's pov;When I entered the house, Mr Martinez covered my eyes using his palm. "What are you doing?" I asked. "I prepared a surprise for you.""Surprise? Why?""Do I need a reason to give you surprises?""Argh! Where's it? Is it in the hall?""No, it's on the third floor."I tried to remove his hands while asking, "Then, why are you closing my eyes now?""Because it's a surprise." "If I trip on the stairs, I'm going to…""What will you do?" "I can't think of any right now but I'll do something."While we're talking, my feet touched the beginning of the staircase. "Hold on to me." Mr Martinez said.I held his hand and walked in the front but tripped and fell on his chest. He held me in his arms and looked at me. I looked away and said, "Close my eyes in front of the door. Let's walk now."Suddenly, he lifted me like a princess carry and said, "You won't trip anymore in this way." "I have legs. Drop me down.""No."When I stared at him, he said, "It's been days since I carri

Isabella's p.o.v;Someone tapped me on the shoulder from behind which made me look at them, Big Brother."What exactly are you doing here?" he asked.I turned away from him and looked at the beach ahead of me, "How did you find me here?" Asked him while I watched the waves."I presume because I have people to spy on you," he said as he sat next to me.I remained silent.He continued, "Mr. Martinez indicated that you and him were falling out because Harry was leaving for New Orleans. Do you want me to double-check that he's telling the truth?""It's not surprising that you think like him since you're his secretary after all.""I'm more than just a man who works for him. I'm also your guardian. I have the authority and responsibility to look after you. To me, Yuyang and Bella are the same person. Even if you leave his house, I'll look after you alongside Yuyang. It's not difficult for me to raise you two. So, What happened between you two this time? I came here as your brother and not as
