CHAPTER THIRTY ONE

~ISABELLA~“Jax? What are you doing here?” I asked with a straight face.“Waiting for this opportunity to present itself,” Jax smirked, earning a frown from me.I wasn’t in the mood for his games right now. Adrian was behind bars, and getting him out of there was my top priority.So I looked at the superior who was surprisingly younger than Officer Melisa.“Miss, I’d like to speak to you privately,” I said to the Superior.But Jax didn't even let her answer me because he chipped in at that moment.My palms balled into fists because I had this strong urge to slap that stupid smirk off his face.“It’s me you need to talk to because I’m the only one who can help you and she…” He paused and pointed at the Superior. “She only listens to me. So you see? If you want your precious Adrian out of the cell, then you’ll have to talk to me.”My jaw hardened as I looked at him and then at the Superior. Her silence about what Jax said told me everything I needed to know.Somehow, Jax had her wrapped

CHAPTER THIRTY TWO

~ISABELLA~Jax let out a full-blown laughter which made my jaw harden. Was he making a jest of me?“You think by saying that, I ordered her to kill you? Seriously?” Jax cocked a brow at me with an amused look on his face.I huffed and rolled my eyes because he was mocking me.“I just wanted to be sure and safe,” I answered with a straight face.Barbara took her phone and made a phone call. Just like Jax, she only said two words. “Do it.”“I’ve signed the contract can't I at least know what is going on? What's with this secrecy?” I complained.“You’ll find out when we get downstairs. Starting now you belong to me. So while we are going downstairs, we have to link arms,” Jax said.“I thought I made it clear to you that there would be no touching and you agreed,” I asked him sharply, failing to hide the annoyed look on my face.He rolled his eyes and scoffed. “ You established your point, Isabella, and I get it. I remember telling you that you're not my type anymore. So I won't have sex

CHAPTER THIRTY THREE

~ADRIAN~“We are sorry for any inconveniences we caused you Mr Belkov. We now know that you didn't kill Miss Charlotte. It was the father of the child she was carrying that killed her,” The Superior Officer said.I was stunned but then my jaw hardened. If I didn't know Charlotte I would have refused to believe that the child wasn’t mine.That scheming bitch wanted to tag the pregnancy on me and it turned out that was what led to her death.“The child wasn’t for Mr Belkov?” Carlos asked to be sure and the woman nodded in agreement.At that moment, a young guy was forcefully brought into the station.“It was a mistake. Please I did it out of anger. She refused to let me father the child. My own child,” The young man kept repeating.I never imagined that Charlotte would have such a taste in men. He looked shabby. I was sure he was a drug addict.Looking at him, I understood why she may not have wanted him to father the child.Then I looked at Isabella expecting to see a look of relief o

CHAPTER THIRTY FOUR

~ISABELLA~The moment Jax and I got into his car, I yanked his hold on me away.I hated all this, and I hated my current situation, but I had to do it for Adrian.When Barbara said that the father of Charlotte's child was the one who killed Charlotte, I regretted signing the contract with Jax.I would have been patient and told Susanna to hire a good private investigator. Maybe, Adrian would have been released.But then again I remembered that Jax had Barbara on his side.My emotions were all over the place.I felt like screaming, punching something, or worse killing Jac so he would leave Adrian and me the hell alone.“Are you okay?” Jax asked me.“Mind your damn business,” I said and scoffed in response.My heart ached when I remembered the look I saw on Adrian’s face before I left the police station with Jax.I had hurt him again and I felt terrible about it.Why were all these things happening to him and I?I refrained from crying until, at least until we got to wherever Jax was ta

CHAPTER THIRTY FIVE

~ISABELLA~“I have the keys Bel,” Adrian said sadly, making me halt.Jax halted too and turned to Adrian faster than I did.“Keys to what?” Jax asked quickly with creased brows.I was as confused as Jax was too because I didn't know what keys Adrian was talking about.“I wasn’t talking to you Jax. Stay out of this,” Adrian spat coldly making Jax scoff.“Stay out of this?” Jax let out a mocking laugh. “Isabella is my Fiancée and has always been.”I walked to Jax and placed my hand on his shoulder. “It’s okay baby. Let’s hear him out.”Part of me knew that Jax wasn't happy with how I intruded, but Adrian had piqued my curiosity so I couldn't help it.“What keys?” I turned to Adrian and asked.“You wanted to know what was in my basement that I always kept locked,” He paused and showed me a key. “This is the key. I promised I’d show you whenever we came back here. I probably won't see you again, so this is the last chance for you to know what is in that basement.”His request was temptin

CHAPTER THIRTY SIX

~ADRIAN~Watching Isabella leave with Jax felt like my heart had been pierced with thorns.Did I deserve this?All I had ever done was love Isabella. But she came into my life twice, to ruin me and leave me miserable.I felt stupid for letting her see my basement, but I wanted her to know that I still loved her and thought about her all these years.I didn’t care if she’d think I was a simp.I just felt that seeing those pictures would help change her mind if at all Jax was making her act this way towards me.Now I knew that all she w ith Jax.I didn’t see any need to keep them in my house anymore because that wasn’t the Isabella I knew or loved.Carlos was right, Isabella was bad for me and all she had ever done was hurt me.I left my house and went back to my foster parents’ house feeling dejected.Carlos had wanted to come with me to meet Jax and Isabella, but I insisted that he wait for me at my foster parents’ house.I knew he’d create a scene which was why I strongly objected.W

CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN

~ADRIAN~Looking at Jax and Isabella walk towards the table Ashley and I sat on, all my hopes that I was slowly getting over Isabella were crushed.My heart ached when I saw their arms linked.I didn't even realize I was staring too long until Ashley looked in the direction I was looking and saw them.When she saw Isabella, her smile faltered for some seconds before she smiled again when they got close to us.“Wow! Fancy meeting you both here,” Jax said, spreading his arms dramatically.Then he turned to Ashley, “Hey Ash,” he said.There was something about her smile. It was uneasy which made me frown a bit.Why was she uneasy?However, I decided to ask her when we were alone.I purposely didn't even spare Isabella a glance and she didn't say hi to me either.The only person she seemed to be staring daggers at was Ashley.“I see you have decided to be with my leftover,” Jax smirked earning a creased brow from me.“What the hell do you mean by your leftover?” I asked, my face scrunched

CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHT

~ISABELLA~ The only person I could think of who could advise me on how to go about this was Ella. So I picked up my phone and called her. “Hey, girl. What’s up?” She picked up the call after the third ring and said. Hearing her voice grounded me in the moment. I was reminded that I wasn’t alone in this life after all. I still had Ella and she cared about me a lot. So I told her everything that was going on and she kept cussing the entire time. “Jax, that son of a bitch. I swear I’m gonna kill that asshole,” She exclaimed angrily. “What do I do El? I feel like a terrible person for hurting Adrian the second time,” I sighed. “I understand but you don’t have to be hard on yourself. Again, you did it to protect him. It wouldn’t have been good if he had remained imprisoned because of you. He has a reputation to protect in the city, you know,” She told me. “That was exactly why I did it,” I told her. My worry eased knowing that she understood and was supporting me. I really wish I

CHAPTER THIRTY NINE

~ISABELLA~“I should kill Adrian? Are you out of your mind? I can’t kill anyone,” I snapped at Jax.I looked at him in shock, wondering if he meant what he just said, or if he was just saying it because he knew I didn't have the nerve to kill anyone.Shit, it had to be the latter.“You see? At least I tried to give you a way but you turned it down. So, don’t ever bring this discussion again,” He said coldly.“Please Jax, I’m sure you already saw that Adrian has chosen Ashley. Just let me go please,” I pleaded.I couldn't just give up now. Now that he saw Adrian, his mood had brightened up so this was my chance.“I don't want to hear about this anymore,” He warned me. “As long as you and Adrian are still both alive, there is still a chance that if I free you from our contract, you both will get back together and have a happy ending. Now that… I can’t let happen.”He glared hard at me while saying it with all seriousness, so this made me not argue with him anymore.This whole situation

CHAPTER FORTY

~ISABELLA~I stood there stunned at what Susanna just said to me.Ever since this whole saga, I had thought Susanna would never speak to me again.Or when she does, it’d be to rain insults on me. Never did I expect her to say this.From her voice, she sounded genuinely worried and concerned.Within the seconds that she used to pull away from me, I did a quick calculation and decided to let her know that Jax was indeed doing what she was thinking.It hurt to see that Adrian’s mom was making efforts and didn't want to give up on me, but Adrian had given up and moved on already.I figured that since Susanna was a powerful woman in the city, if there was anyone who could help me aside from Adrian, it was her.So when she pulled away from me, I slowly blinked twice and she let out a shaky breath as she cursed under her breath.She turned to look at him and saw that he was looking in our direction with keen interest.Shit.I knew that he would think Susanna whispering into my ear was suspic
