บททั้งหมดของ A YEAR WITH THE BILLIONAIRE: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

Isabella's POVApparently, the day is going to end well and my first big fight with my Grandma is going to end tonight.We haven't quarreled like this before. She was always understanding and supportive. When I saw the smile on her face, I knew she had accepted reality and she is here to reconcile with me.But I feel embarrassed. More than I was the very first day she got to know that the marriage between Jayden and I wasn't real and we deceived her.She flashes me another smile as I lead her inside, towards the living room with Jayden trudging behind us in silence.We get there and I make her sit down. I sit beside her, watching her face to know if all is well. I feel bad for not going back to the house since the other day to check up on her.I should have known that her anger won't last for too long. I notice she is looking down at my silk satin dress."How are you, Mother?" I ask, breaking the silence between us.I see Jayden take the staircase up and when Grandma hears his foots

Isabella's POVI wake up with a start to see Jayden stirring in his sleep and my hands over his chest. My eyes open wide and I take my arms off him and scramble out of bed with my heart pounding hard in my chest.What the hell!When did I put my hands on his body? I ask no one in particular as my eyes glance around the room to see that the light wasn't off.Why didn't he turn off the light before sleeping?Slowly, I drag my silly self to the sofa with my two hands on my cheeks. I drop to the sectional sofa and my butt hits something. I shoot to my feet to grab whatever it is and my eyes fall on the book I am supposed to hide from Jayden.A loud gasp escapes my mouth as fear begins to consume my whole existence. This book has been on this sofa all through yesterday and I am wondering if Jayden had seen it or not.How can I forget something like this? If he sees the book, then he will get to know that I am invading his privacy by going to his personal office and going through his thing

Isabella's POV Determined to give Jayden's friend and his wife a good impression of myself and to make sure that they believe that we are in love, I step out of my room in a single piece velvet short gown with long sleeves and an ankle strap heels. My hair is packed in a low loose bun as usual and I have a nude lip gloss on my lips with little makeup on my face. I don't want to overdo it. I am the billionaire's wife and I need to look like one just like Jayden had mentioned to me when he came home to inform me that his best friend, Gabriel and his wife, Sabrina would be coming over for dinner. I know Gabriel who usually frequents the office and I have only seen his wife once and that was at our wedding day. I am a bit anxious. Jayden had gone down for more than 10 minutes and I am sure they would be waiting for me so we could eat dinner. I take the staircase down to hear the laughter of Gabriel. He has a really loud voice and I know that voice doesn't belong to my husband. I

Isabella's POVChecking out myself in front of the mirror, my mind begins to drift back to what Sabrina said about how she failed to get Jayden interested in her friend for the marriage contract.I wish I could see what the woman looks like so I can compare myself to her. For me to see her, I need to become friends with Sabrina and I doubt if that is possible. I don't like people who talk too much and Sabrina seems like one. Additionally, she acts weird just like her husband.I wonder what type of girls Jayden loves going out with. The class of girls is known as I told myself the other day. People like him go out with successful women or billionaire daughters; women who have something to invest in his businesses and not dumb-ass broke girls like me.Sabrina seems like a working-class lady and I'm sure her friend must also be a working-class woman, why didn't he accept her? Why did he choose me instead of her?Is it the shape? I ask myself when I realize I have been standing in front o

Isabella's POVI couldn't believe Alejandro and I talked all through the dinner and even after and I enjoyed his company.The discussion was able to lift my spirit and get rid of my anger toward Jayden. Actually, I have no right to be mad at Jayden. I should have expected what he did this evening but I didn't expect it and that was why I was hurt.I don't always get comfortable with strangers but Alejandro is different. I find myself opening up to him and telling him things I wouldn't have said to other people when we first met.He is free-spirited and I guess that is why I was free with him. When he mentioned that I looked familiar, I realized I knew him too. He is the same Alejandro Lorenzo who scheduled an appointment with Jayden a few months ago but he never came. He missed the appointment and came when I was about to close for the day.I don't know if I am supposed to tell them that I was Jayden's Assistant and I don't know if Jayden wants him to know Jayden and I stand in fron
