Semua Bab Inked By Love: The Billionaire’s Contracted Heart: Bab 1 - Bab 7

FLASHBACK“Isabel, come here darling,” my mother said smiling. My eight year old self turned my attention away from the awesome gifts that laid on the table in front of me. I had been going through some of the gifts even though mother told me not to, but hey, it was my birthday! I made my way over to my mother who was with my father, they were both standing next to a man who I instantly recognized as my Uncle Robert and a young boy who I definitely did not recognize. The boy did not look anything older than ten or eleven. He was also holding a box which he seemed to be struggling with quite a bit which made me giggle silently.“Come say hi to Uncle Robert,” my father said smiling down at me.I immediately ran over to my uncle excitedly who picked me up and hugged me. “You made it to my birthday!!”“Of course I did, I wouldn’t miss it for the world sweetheart,” Uncle Robert smiled. “I got you a really cool present.”“What is it?” I asked excitedly. Uncle Robert put me down and turne

I entered my house defeatedly. I could not believe how today turned out. I honestly felt like crying. Today was rather unsuccessful—I wasn’t able to come up with the money for Dad's medicine. My parents have done and sacrificed so much for me, and I couldn’t even do this simple thing for them. I felt like a failure. I strolled into the kitchen for a glass of water and I wasn’t surprised to find my mother in there trying not to cry too loudly. This had been a normal occurrence ever since she found out about my Dad's cancer. “Mum,” I said softly.“Oh Izzy, you’re home,” she said as she turned around, wiping her tears away quickly. “Where’s Dad?”“Upstairs, resting. The doctor gave him a new prescription, a more expensive one at that,” she said. “Were you able to talk to Noah?”I swallowed nervously, “Yes.”“Did he lend you the money?” She asked hopefully. "Please tell me he gave you the money."I took a deep breath as I replied, “Well, he didn't exactly refuse...”“So he agreed?! He’

"You can do this," I whispered to myself, gazing at my reflection in the mirror. "Everything will be fine." I attempted to convince myself that this was not such a terrible idea after all. I took a deep breath and studied my appearance. My wedding dress was beautiful, a flowing white gown with intricate beading along the bodice. My hair was pulled up into an elegant updo, with loose curls framing my face. Makeup artfully enhanced my features. Yet despite my lovely appearance, anxiety swirled in my stomach. I knew my father would arrive any moment to escort me down the aisle. I had been standing in front of the bathroom mirror for a good fifteen minutes, contemplating the fact that the day had finally arrived. It had been four weeks since I reluctantly agreed to this preposterous arrangement with Noah Wolfe. During that time, I had dedicated myself to planning the extravagant wedding with Noah's assistant, barely seeing Noah himself. In truth, I spent more time with her than with my n

The plane ride was quite long and tiresome. Not a single word was said between Noah and I but I could tell that he was beyond pissed. I managed to fall asleep before we arrived at the Maldives. Noah has told me earlier that this was where we were going to spend our ‘honeymoon’. I had to admit this place was breathtaking. I was even more amazed at the resort we would be staying for the next few days. It was truly beautiful.When we arrived to our room, I was a bit nervous knowing that Noah and I were going to be sharing a bed. The big was quite big but it still worried me. The only thing that relaxes my mind was the fact that I didn’t have to do anything with him, at least not until the four weeks were up.I immediately headed into the shower as soon as we entered the room. After a nice warm shower, I put on my sleepwear in the bathroom because I knew Noah was probably still in the bedroom. However As I exited the bathroom, I was surprised to find the room empty. I took advantage of th
