Isabella's pov contd“Maybe it's because I am not about to let a beautiful and gorgeous stranger girl wander off into the night alone. It's a dangerous world out there, you know?”“Alright you can take me home but I won't be interested in any of your offers from now henceforth , I warned and he smiled at me.~~~~~~~~~~~~The drive was a long one and I began to wonder why I agreed to let him take me home. Maybe I just felt tired and I was alone in my thoughts. I guess I just wanted a moment of peace.“We are finally here”,he said, bringing me out of my thoughts and I stepped out of the car, slamming the door shut.“Thank you for the ride” I said with a soft smile.“So when am I seeing you again?” he asked.“I don't think you would ever see me again Mr stranger. Bye for now” I said and he smiled at me then he zoomed off.I walked into the penthouse and the first person I laid my eyes on was Ryan who had an unreadable expression on his face.“Isabella, who brought you home?” Ryan asked an

Ryan's POV.I was seated in my chair and my thoughts were tangled in between Isabella and my job. Whatever transpired last night between us, left me wondering and I even wondered more when she didn't answer any of my questions I threw at her.She was dropped off at my penthouse at such a late hour by someone I didn't see and for a fact I knew that it was a male gender who dropped her off. And I couldn't shake the thought of it, as it made me feel bothered but I wasn't going to admit to that fact.Even though I had been in countless arguments with her in the past, this one felt different. The thought of Isabella with someone else ignited a burning sensation within me, a sensation that came with anger and I didn't expect it.But anyways, I knew I was going to be a fool if I didn't realise sooner or later that I shouldn't be expecting much from her. She had always been like that but it took me time to understand her.She was a woman who strives for attention and lurking around men is part

Ryan's POV.I pushed the door of my office open and my eyes landed on Cairo. She stood at the window, her back turned against me. That was what she always does, whenever I have been gone for too long.It was almost like she knew when I was going to come back. She turned to look at me and I could see that longing in her eyes as her face didn't fail to express disappointment and I knew she was pissed.“Ryan, where did you go? I thought we had plans?” she questioned softly and I took a deep breath.“I had something important to attend to,” I replied.The last thing I wanted to do at that moment was to tell Cairo the truth. That I was chasing Isabella once again? Cairo stared deeply at me as though she was scanning me under her eyes and if she could read my mind, she would have caught me in my web of lies.“Something important Ryan? So that is your excuse for disappearing?” she asked as she arched her eyebrow at me.“Don't forget your place Cairo. I'm still your boss and you don’t get to

Isabella's POV.The moment I walked through the school gates. I knew it inside of me that it wasn't going to be one of those days I had grown accustomed to.I could hear the whispers that filled the air and the eyes that were on me. The students were all judging me as though they were better and for something I didn't even do. But in their eyes, it didn't matter to them if I had done anything wrong or not, I was just the girl who ruined everything and betrayed Ryan and now she no longer has a place in the world she once knew.“She thinks she is better than us, doesn't she?” I heard a feminine voice say and I turned to see Maria and Daisy. I didn't expect much from them, they were one of the girls who had always been more than happy to throw stones at me when it suited them. They hated me for reasons unknown to me and they didn't hide that fact away from me.Their laughter filled my ears but I knew better than not to give them any reaction. I wasn't going to give them the satisfaction

Ryan's POV.I walked out of the house and my mind was still tangled in the scenario that unfolded last night. The payment and everything, I could still feel the shock that swooshed through me when she handed over thirty thousand dollars to me just like that. How was she able to come up with such a hefty amount of money when her back account was frozen? I also couldn't bring myself to accept that probably her new place of work might have given her the money but it was very impossible, they couldn't do such a thing.I knew there wasn't any way she could afford to pay the rent on her own so it means someone must have given the money to her but who could do such a thing? I shook my head as I tried to push away the thoughts of Isabella. I wasn't meant to be thinking about who she got the money from, all I wanted was to make her life so miserable for the betrayal she caused me.Other affairs of her life were none of my business and I have been trying to tell myself that last night and this
