All Chapters of Dumped By My EX, I Picked Up A Tycoon: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Isabella’s POVRest is rare for someone like me who’s fighting to survive every single day. I was supposed to be in the hospital to see Alan, but here I am, running towards the orphanage. Beads of sweat were rolling down my face as I caught my breath, clutching my bag so tight.I remember what the staff of the orphanage told me when she called me early this morning.The orphanage will be demolished today. I could not accept it!“You can’t just ruin our home! There are children inside!”“That is why we’re asking you to leave, Ma’am. You can’t do anything anyway.”“The demolition is not due today!” I said the moment I stepped up and pushed the man harassing the staff.“Miss Belly…”“Go back inside. The children will be scared. I’ll take care of this.”“And who are you, Miss?”I gritted my teeth and looked at the man with sharp eyes. “I should be the one asking you that, Sir! Who are you?”He sighed. “I am the operator, Miss. This is authorized work, so you should step aside and let us f

Isabella’s POVThe roaring sound of the bulldozers was still echoing in my head even after the machine that was meant to tear down my home was shut down. The sound of it made my chest tight, giving me something beyond reasonable pain.“Drink this.” Matteo handed me a sealed bottle of water. We’re alone in the orphanage playground, sitting on the metal swing.I lifted my face to look at Matteo after I accepted the water. He was sitting beside me, but he was still taller. He wasn’t looking at me. He was looking at the two-storey orphanage building, giving me access to his side profile. His jaw was emphasized, and his nose bridge was extremely defined.This man… I knew him as a cold-hearted person. He didn’t give me a reason to doubt him, even with his rude attitude. He never showed me mixed signals, even after I shared a night with him. I never imagined he’d come to help.“I…wanna know the reason why you helped me, Matteo. I understand that you want me to focus on my responsibility to y

Isabella’s POVHolding a piece of paper with the long list of materials for Noah’s project, I walked down the grand staircase wearing black shorts, rubber shoes and a white t-shirt. My hair was tied in a messy bun while the sling of my shoulder bag hung on my right shoulder.“James?” I called as I walked around, searching for the good butler.I can just take a taxi, but it would be a hassle since Noah needs a lot of materials.“Where’s James?” I asked the maid who was cleaning the living area.“He was with Mr. Moretti in the kitchen.”“Okay. Thank you.” I smiled and turned in the direction of the kitchen.I entered the kitchen, hoping to find James, but who I found inside was someone I didn’t expect to be there.Facing a sleek laptop while sitting on the kitchen island, Matteo Moretti looked regal in that stance. He was wearing specs while his fingers were moving precisely on the keyboard. His lips were pressed into a thin line while his eyes remained on the screen of the laptop.He w

Isabella’s POVThree consecutive soft knocks on my door disturbed my peaceful sleep. I rolled on the bed and groaned, not wanting to be pulled out of the dreamland, but the person knocking was too persistent.I groggily walked towards the door and opened it with my eyes half closed, and my mouth yawning.Stunned, I blinked thrice as I stood in front of a man wearing a blank expression on his face. He looked like he had just gotten home, and he was carrying three shopping bags in his left hand.I gasped as my eyes widened. “Good God!” I combed my hair multiple times because I’m certain as hell my hair looks like a bird’s nest right now.Why does he have to show up while I'm like this?“You should be covering your breasts.” Matteo’s voice was flat, as if what he said was something normal. He said it like it doesn’t even matter, making my face burn in so much embarrassment after I realized I was only wearing a thin t-shirt and panties. No bra at all. My nipples were outlined through the

Isabella’s POVI refused to be carried again, and I don’t think Matteo has intentions of doing it again. When we reached the mansion, I didn’t wait for him to open the door for me. I was in the backseat with Noah and Matteo was in the passenger seat. Anton was the one who drove the car.“Get the first aid kid, James.” Matteo’s voice was stern when we entered the house.“You have wounds, Belly…” Noah held my hand, looking at the wound. He was frowning, and I could see anger in his eyes. “I hate them.”I took a deep sigh and gently caressed his jaw. “Don’t be so upset. It doesn’t hurt that much.”“Still!” He groaned. “They even ruined your dress. You liked it very much.”I smiled at him and sat on the couch. “It’s okay. You need to calm down now, sweetie.”I glanced at Matteo when I saw him walking towards us. He sat beside me and looked at my face. I couldn’t speak because my heart was racing again because of the distance between us. He was not too close. There’s enough space between u
