Jayden's POVIn just a few hours of practically calling Isabella a loose woman for dressing that way around the house when I didn't even know that she went to the pool with a towel, my emotions are all over the place.I still feel remorseful and I want to do everything possible to make her forget what I said.It was an insult and I have no idea what came over me to say that. She isn't my real wife so I have no right over her.It wouldn't be offensive if only we were real. This is just on paper.She has had me feeling sorry for her for no reason. She accepted this because it was what she needed but I don't know why I feel sorry for her.She mentioned something about love during the dinner with Alejandro and I am curious to know what she means by that.Does she want to go to Verona to find a man who truly loves her? Can't she wait till after our marriage is up to a year before going? I remember she also said something about this when I first presented the offer to her and she outright

Jayden's POVWhen I come out of the bathroom, I see Isabella still sleeping on the bed, making me wonder when she will wake up.I have some questions to ask her. These were the questions I was supposed to ask her last night but I was surprised to come out of the bathroom to see her fast asleep.It amuses how fast she can fall asleep within minutes.Taking my eyes off her still body, curled up in bed like a baby, I walk to the closet to get a dress to wear.I pull a black jacket out of the closet and a pair of black pants with a white long-sleeve top before turning back to drop them on the bed when I see Isabella stirring in her sleep and yawning loudly without covering her mouth.I halt and watch her as she opens her mouth widely before fluttering her eyes open. Our eyes lock and she scrambles out of bed with embarrassment.I chuckle lightly and walk to drop my clothes on the sofa. A towel is still wrapped around my waist.I don't know if the embarrassment is a result of that or becau

Isabella's POVJayden has been extremely cold towards me ever since the day I asked him about Helena.Well, I never knew it was a big deal to ask about her but the moment I saw his expression, I knew it was more than a big deal and my curiosity to know who she was intensified.I do not know why. I just want to know why Jayden looked like someone who could kill when I mentioned her name.Obviously, she isn't just anybody. I thought she was one of the exes he would like to talk about. I was very much interested in knowing about his love life and why he doesn't believe in love anymore.I was so sure he used to believe in love and he was in love with someone. Probably her.Helena.Helena.I always think about her anytime Jayden comes home with this same cold expression and anytime he ignores me as if I am not in the same room as him.I ought to ignore him too. But I can't. I should probably start now. At least it will ease everything. This is our third week already and we still have a lon

Isabella's POVShe throws a cold glare my way before her hands push me backward.It is Mrs. Russell. Jayden's mother."What have you done to him?" Her loud voice echoes around the private corridor of the hospital building.I had done the only thing I could do. Calls.I called the numbers of every name that came to my head.I called his Father and Mother, I called my Grandma and I called Gabriel too. I have cried so much and it feels as if the rivers of tears in my eyes have dried up. I should have known that he was ill. I should have suggested to him that he visit the doctor.I blame myself for this. I blame myself for what happened. Maybe if I hadn't asked him that question or if I hadn't poured water all over him maybe he wouldn't be so mad at himself to have even thought of inflicting pain on himself.What exactly happened in the bathroom is something I have no idea about and only Jayden can explain what happened.I was already on my bed sulking for being clumsy when I heard him s

Isabella's POVI couldn't sleep a wink all night. I turned into a night watchman for Jayden because I was scared something would happen to him during the night.I forgot to come with my phone so I had nothing to keep me busy. I kept having wild imaginations of a weird creature coming through the windows and stealing Jayden away from here so I held on to him till it was morning and I placed my head on his chest to know that he was still breathing.Still alive.My joy knows no bounds. First, because his Mother will blame me if anything happens, and secondly because I want him to survive whatever it is eating him up that he doesn't want to talk to me about.Apparently, everyone else knows about the story of him and Helena. I kept thinking of the decision I needed to make throughout the night and I have gotten my answers.I have a job to do. A job that no one sent me. A job I will not be paid for but I hope it will help heal Jayden.Before I can rise to stretch my body, a knock comes on
