As soon as Isabella got home, she collapsed on her bed, grateful that it wasn't one of the days when her best friend usually stayed over at the house with her. And Anna would have if she didn't have a night shift to cover at the restaurant where she worked her second job.Isabella was tired and afraid. Tired because of how adamant Seth had turned out to be about the baby and his intention of making the baby his. Afraid because she was sure he would pull through that plan of his. She might not know the man well enough but from the little time she spent with him, she could tell that he was a man who stuck to his words and made it through with his plan.She suddenly missed her mom and she wished that she was with the older woman right now. Before she could talk herself out of it, she brought out her phone and called her mother. The older woman picked the call up even before the first ring was over."Bella dear, may you live to be a thousand years. I was just thinking about you now and you

Seth's head pounded loudly as if he was being hammered by something heavy and he winced at the pain. The light flickering in from somewhere into the room, directly on his face made the headache even worse than it should. To protect his eyes from burning, he covered it with one of his arms. He remained that way for almost five minutes, bearing the pains he felt course through his system.When he couldn't take the harsh treatment of the hot sun on him anymore, he groaned and sat up. His head felt like it would explode from the little action and he took three deep long breaths to help him calm down. He managed to stagger to the bathroom and opened the water on his head just to clear his head and thoughts."Now, that's better." He said to himself after the headache subsided. He looked into the bathroom mirror with a sigh. He first noticed the baggy eyes he spotted. Next, he saw that he was not in his room or even his house since the bathroom's interior was far different from his. "Where am

Seth whirled around in the office chair he sat on, lost in deep thoughts about his life and the next steps to take. If anyone asked him, then he would truthfully tell them he was tired. Tired of how blank the future seemed.A hand waved in front of him but he couldn't register the thought in his mind that his attention was needed. It's been more than a month now since he last saw or heard anything about Isabella. All the private investigators he had hired hadn't been able to make any progress about the location of the woman. Much as he had someone stalked her best friend too, nothing fruitful had come out of it. Yes, he had stooped that low. After all, his future and the future of both his lineage and company and family wealth depended on the success he attained concerning his heir."For goodness sake, Seth. Can you snap out of whatever it is that makes you look like a lion ready to devour its prey?" Nate grumbled at his best friend. He wasn't to be blamed though. He has been trying

Seth winked at the hot air hostess walking beside him and chuckled at the shy way she reciprocated his seduction before she scurried away. Not wanting her to leave without getting her contact, he raced after her, dragging his luggage with him."Do you mind if I get your number, sweetheart?" He asked her as soon as he caught up with her.The air hostess looked back at him and smiled in a coy way again. Seth smiled back also. The shy one, is she? No problem since he would be helping her shred her good girl skin soon."I promise to give you such a good time you'll never want to be q good girl again." He blew her a kiss and nearly laughed out loud when the lady moaned so softly, he almost didn't hear her. "Got you." He muttered under his breath."Sorry?" The brunette asked with such a deep breath that gave away her arousal.Seth gave her a wide grin. "You were going to give me your number?" He played a quick one on her.The air hostess brought out her business card and gave it to him bef

A loud clunk on the table at which Isabella and B were playing their usual Ludo game made the two women look up in shock. The moment Isabella saw who it was, her heart began to thump loudly in her chest and she wished that she could disappear to somewhere where the man wouldn't see her anymore."What do you think you are doing?" Mrs. Allen yelled at her son when she saw her son was the one standing like a soldier ready for war."Mom, how about you excuse Isabella and me for a moment?" Seth asked, his eyes pleading silently with his mother to understand him."If you wanted to talk to Isabella, you should have asked me to excuse you politely instead of causing a ruckus, son." Mrs. Allen smacked her lips together. "Because of your rude behavior, I'm not leaving here." She turned back to the game.Isabella watched the banter between mother and son with a heavy heart. She didn't need any soothsayer or even a diviner of some sort to tell her what it was that Seth wanted to talk to her about
