Isabella's POVAfter knocking for several minutes without a response, I conclude that Grandma isn't home.She must have gone somewhere but I am baffled by her absence at home because it is still early in the morning.Now that her legs are healed, I am sure she is going to go back to her former work or look for another. Grandma isn't the type to stay at home, she is hardworking and that added to her sorrow when she was still unable to use her legs.She complains a lot about the pain but the complaints about not being able to leave the house on her own were more.I wanted her to get her life back. The pain too was an addition. It was enough reason for me to look for a fast solution to it. I wanted to get rid of it. Get rid of anything that will hinder us from being happy.We didn't have enough money before she lost her legs but we were living a happy life. When she lost her legs, Grandma became a shadow of herself and the happiness was short-lived. Sometimes, I used to think that she w

Isabella's POVToday's outing is half-productive.Grandma is still mad at me even after she threw the door open to allow me in after several minutes of sitting still on the porch where I fell with tears in my eyes.I didn't dare to stand up and leave. I wanted to talk to her. I wanted to tell her everything and how it happened.She was aloof.When she allowed me in, she sat down without facing me and I kept on ranting till I fell asleep.Grandma didn't say a single word to me.When I woke up, there was lunch in front of me and I quickly ate without bothering to look for her.I waited for her to show up until this evening when I decided to just come home. Jayden had texted to ask me why I canceled the shopping appointment with his Assistant.I really do not know why he wants us to go together. Is it because he doesn't trust me enough with his credit cards? Is it because he wants her to monitor my spending?I am not extravagant and I plan to get just a few clothes. I won't be making mu

Isabella's POVAfter making sure that Jayden's mother is gone after dinner, I rise from the dining seat and decide to go around the house for a tour.This is my first time sitting at the dining table, having dinner with my husband and his mother. Last night, I didn't even eat before going to bed. My so-called husband didn't ask if I would like to eat something or not and I was too scared and anxious about my first day as a married woman, sleeping on the same bed with her husband to even think about food.Apart from the late lunch I ate at Grandma's place, this delicious spaghetti pie casserole will be the second food I will be eating today.Well…I have become so used to skipping meals so it is no longer a big deal.Jayden says I should spend the night in his room but I am having second thoughts about it. I don't want to inconvenience him again for the second time in two days and I don't want to embarrass myself by falling off the bed again.I have decided to move my things tonight and

Jayden's POVMy icy glare pierces into her as she stares at me innocently like what she is asking me is nothing to be mad about.Gay? What the hell is that?"I'm sorry", she apologizes, looking down before raising her head again. "I'm sorry if I am wrong with my assumptions but I just want to know…""Know what?" I snap at her angrily. What is so difficult with just minding your own business while I go about mine? Why the hell is Isabella beginning to make me regret why I chose her in just three days of being married?I thought she was going to be a quiet wife without giving me any trouble whatsoever and always listening to my orders."I'm sorry. I'm just curious to know why we got married in the first place when it's obvious no one knows how fake this is. I just assumed you are gay since you are…""Since there will be no sex? Is that what you are concerned about?" I retort sharply, a frown descending on my face.She shakes her head, hugging her small body to herself."I'm not talking

Jayden's POVThe gate automatically opens and Jude drives into the mansion. The moment he parks the car in the driveway, I climb down and take long strides towards the house.I have been calling Isabella's phone since noon to inform her about tonight's family dinner that we have invited to but she isn't picking up.I was a bit worried, thinking she left the house because of how I scolded her this morning but after a while, I wave it off.I am not to be blamed. She was overstepping her boundary and crossing the line that we are supposed to set for ourselves.She was also supposed to go shopping with Anna but I saw Anna in the office during lunch break. When I questioned Anna about why she hadn't gone to meet my wife at home so they could do shopping, Anna told me my mother canceled the appointment.I was surprised. I should have known that my mother would take her suggestions about accompanying Isabella to go shopping, seriously. After hearing that, I guessed Isabella must have left h
