All Chapters of Entangled Hearts: The Forbidden Bond: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

ISLAHis expression became quite unreadable, it was just a blank stare with a face that was devoid of every emotion. Then he leaned in slowly, his hands folded on his desk.“You're right, Isla.” he said, his voice without the usual warmth it usually carried. I knew because that sweet feeling that usually tugged at the pit of my stomach when he mentioned my name was missing.I swallowed nervously, not sure what exactly I'd say to get him this way—cold and almost unrecognizable.“So...it's no longer about your personal beliefs, right?”I was slightly taken aback by the question.“What's that? I asked, staring confusedly at him.He smiled. “I'm glad you still remember why your parents sent you to work in my company, Isla.”My brows lifted puzzlingly. I really wasn't getting the underlying meaning beneath what he meant by that. Any reply I'd wanted to voice out stuck to my throat.He knew.He was aware of the real truth. Has it really been that obvious?But still, it was far more embarras

MIAI was marching towards the logistics department, while cursing Robert under my breath. Maybe, just maybe I Iet him use me too much. Yes. As much as I knew, Robert only enjoyed using me. To him, I was some sort of a means to an end. This was the honest truth I always tried to ignore, but I just couldn't hold it in anymore.Robert Hardy thrived almost unapologetically in my efficiency. It was like he took pleasure in dumping urgent tasks on me. Of course, he knew I'd be able to juggle everything. The fucking son of a bitch knew I'd even rearrange the solar system if he asked me. But yet, he always let the wicked people go stress-free.Isla? And now Bryan?He keeps making it clear that he has his people, and that I clearly wasn't a part of the people that mattered to him. I hissed as I stabbed the elevator button furiously, glad that I had something to share the anger and frustration I felt with.As I reached the floor of the logistic department, the door slid open and I slipped out

ISLABy the time I returned back to my office, my pulse hadn't slowed down even for a bit. My hands felt clammy, the dress I wore suddenly felt like it was too tight and trying to choke the air out of me. I dropped stifly into the chair with a thud, still desperately trying to slow my racing heart. But then, I just couldn't help but not think about it. Not thinking about it wouldn't magically make what Mia had just said disappear. That would be a scandal, and a big blow to me. Seriously, it would mean I'd been in love with a two-faced liar. But then, what if this was another one of her high strategy to get back at me. I knew since Robert had asked her to stay out of my lane, she was going to definitely come up with another trouble. I just didn't expect it to be something as scandalous as this.Mia was nothing but a lying bitch, a cock blocker and an annoying psychopath. Why should I believe her? I mean, she was obviously spreading lies about Robert just so she could get to me. I wa

ISLAI sat alone at the table, poking absentmindedly at a slice of toast. The silence in the mansion was loud, too loud. The truth is— it had been like this for a week. Robert had said he'd been busy, and these days, it seemed being busy meant he was hanging with Bryan. Even if I tried to tell myself it was simply work, I still couldn't stop my head from conjuring all the worst case scenarios of what his being busy might mean.Mia's words always relentlessly crawled their way back into my head every damn minute. Still, I didn't want to believe it. But then, times like this when Robert suddenly became distant, I just thought maybe there was a possibility.Still, what could I do?March up to him and ask “Are you and Bryan a thing?”No.That sounded purely stupid.I was just being paranoid because I was feeling alone, that was all.I stood up abruptly, the food wasn't tasting any good in my mouth. I walked out of the house and headed for work.As Torress pulled into the company's parkin

ROBERTDavis was undoubtedly a very busy man.It was difficult to reach him, plus I didn't even know where the man stayed. There had never been any reason to ask for his location. All our meetings were always fixed in cafés, bars or my office. I was sure he also didn't know where I lived.But finally, after some long torturous hours of waiting, he finally got back to me.My phone almost slipped out of my hand as I awkwardly tried to open his thread. I'd let Davis know in the text I sent to him that Isla was my ward and that her parents had entrusted her to my care, so he was aware of how desperate I needed to find her.I gasped in relief when the first text got in, finally feeling my racing heart slowing down a bit.He's found out her location.I waited impatiently as the three dots started dancing on the screen, indicating that he was typing again.Pennsylvania!How on earth was she in Pennsylvania? What the hell was she doing there?I mean, of all places?While waiting for Davis to
