ISABELLAI tried Robert’s phone for the hundredth time as I sipped the wine I was holding. He and I had agreed to meet at the hotel to celebrate my birthday and although I knew he probably kind of worked late, it was too late.He was supposed to be here by now and I wondered what the delay was.I got to my feet, grabbing my purse and began heading in the direction of the door. I was going to go and check up on him at the office; there was no way he had forgotten my birthday so he probably had something important holding him back.I hailed a cab and settled in the back seat, giggling as I palmed the box in my pocket. I don’t know what I was doing by getting him a ring but it was time for he and I to look to the future and I could feel it.I have always loved Robert and it would be a great idea to propose to him instead of waiting for whenever he wanted to do it.I smiled again as I flipped the box open, the diamond twinkling in the soft glow of the car.He was definitely going to be sh

ISABELLAWhat was I doing taking a stranger back to the hotel? I thought to myself as we continued in silence.We stopped at the hotel and I waited for him to pay the cab fare so we could take the elevator together. I could already feel the jitters rocking my body as we stepped into the suite I had booked for Robert and I.The man stood behind me, his hands in his pocket and I was sure he was watching me… waiting for me to say something.I turned around and we locked gazes, my throat closing up even as I tried to speak.He stood there; a magnificent man, dwarfing the whole room and when he took one step towards me, I could hardly breathe.“I will let you go if you have decided this is not what you want” he finally said in a reassuring voice.He had no intentions of forcing himself on me and that was what he was trying to tell me. That I could still back out of whatever this was without feeling bad but I did not want to back out.I wanted him and I knew that I was going to lose my nerv

ISABELLAI just knew it had been a fucking mistake to seduce and sleep with a total stranger, I groaned as I slipped into my home.The night had been perfect and my hangover very severe or maybe the reason why I was having this terrible headache was because of what the man had said to me.He wanted marriage? No… he had insisted on the both of getting married.What kind of person decided to marry a girl he had a one night stand with and because she seduced him.I collapsed on the bed, reaching for my phone again.Robert had called me a lot of times and had sent messages. I opened one of them, scoffing at the length of the messageMy love,Please pick up so I can explain. It is not what you think and I know you never want to speak to me again but I love you and I want to make this right. Please pick up or call me, then we can talk. She means nothing to me and I swear she seduced me.You mean the world to me, pumpkin… I promise that if you give me another chance then this would never ha

IsabellaMy phone beeped on the dressing table and a message came in. It was him. I was to meet him in two hours, chills went up my spine as I thought of him. His beautiful eyes, the construction of his face, and the way his hands touched me last night.Snap out of it Isabella! I cautioned myself mentally.He was no more than a stranger. I shouldn't let what happened repeat itself. I grabbed my phone from the dressing table before I went to search for a decent and suitable outfit to meet Damien.After what seemed like forever, I ended up with a black velvet dress. It decently covered the upper part of my body, but showed no mercy to my figure. It traced out every line and curve of my body not to talk of the dangerous slit that laid on my thighs.I fixed my face and brushed my hair. I let my hair fall on my shoulders. I wore a simple block heel. I grabbed my bag and my card before I checked myself one last time in the mirror and left. The cab stopped outside the hotel instead of the ga

IsabellaMy eyes fluttered open and I stared at the ceilings.I had an interview and I was putting all my hopes on this because it was a low qualification.I moved to the bathroom and I had the warmest bath I could ever get in a millennium.I walked past my full mirror and I was horrified by the red bite marks across my body.That just served me right for having sex a day before my interview. I had to find something covered, professional, and classy to wear.I searched my wardrobe and I found a suitable outfit. It was a gift from Fiona. It was a tailored nude pan trousers and a jacket. It even came with its white innerwear. She told me it was made by her favorite designer.Once I'm done with it, I'll burn it to ashes.I let my hair fall to my shoulders, luckily I knew a few makeup tips. I highlighted my face a little, I grabbed my bag from the table, my phone was already inside.I gently locked the door behind me as my ride came after some minutes.It took approximately half an hour t
