Chapter One

CHAPTER ONEISABELLA’S POV“Your mother’s condition is getting worse. She's going to need urgent surgery. We’re going to put her on the waitlist for now.” I blinked back the tears in my eyes as the doctor explained to me. “Waitlist? You just said she needs urgent surgery. How can you put her on a waitlist? She needs to be treated now.” I tried to argue with him, my voice slightly cracked. “I'm sorry but there’s nothing we can do. There are people with far worse conditions than hers.” He responded curtly.My chest tightened. “I can’t lose my mother, doctor.” I cried.“I know. You can try out private hospitals. They would be able to give your mother the care she needs right away.”The doctor sounded so nonchalant like we were just another name on a long list of tragedies he dealt with every day. A low breath escaped my lips. “I can’t afford that.”“I'm so sorry about that. Your mother will need to stay in the hospital for a while to make sure she’s stable. She will be discharged lat

Chapter Two

CHAPTER TWOADRIAN’S POVI didn’t know what it was but something attracted me to her. Maybe it was because I hadn’t been with a woman in a long time and was just horny. But I saw beautiful women every day. What about her was different? The tight dress around her thighs and the way she walked, she didn’t even show an ounce of fear while talking to me. She was one of the only women who dared to look me in the eye.I told the manager to get someone to bring another drink for us. I thought he would call the same girl who served us the other time so I didn’t bother to specify who. Another girl came to the table. She seemed less confident than the other one.“What can I get for you, sirs?” She asked, looking at the ground. She couldn’t even look us in the face?I turned to the manager. “Get me the girl who served us before. I don’t like this one.” I sneered.She was taken aback by my words.“Get Isabella to come and take their order.” He turned to her and said.“Yes, sir.” She scrambled aw

Chapter Three

CHAPTER THREEISABELLA’S POVEverything happened in a split second. I felt my world crumbling down right in front of me. Why did I lose focus? I tried my best to wipe off the stain with the napkin.“Isabella.” The boss screamed and I jumped. “I told you you had only one more chance and you were done.” He yelled. “I'm so sorry. I didn’t mean to spill the drink. It was an accident.” I almost choked on my words.“You’re fired. Leave right away.” He pushed me.“I'm so sorry. It was an accident. You can’t fire me. How am I going to pay my mother's hospital bills and my rent?” I couldn’t afford to lose my job, not right now. I could barely survive as it was.“You should have thought about that before getting distracted.” He called one of the bouncers to escort me out but I resisted. He carried me while I struggled in his arms.He took me through the back door and dropped me outside. I tried to get in but he blocked the door. “Can I at least get my stuff from the locker?” I begged.“Fine.”

Chapter Four

CHAPTER FOUR ADRIAN'S POVI couldn’t believe I’d walked out of that house with Isabella going untouched. I couldn’t remember the last time someone laid their hands on me and lived to tell the story. I didn’t know what had come over me. What possibly could make me act like this? I couldn’t be that sex starved. I hadn't been with a woman in so long. I was trying to focus more on building my empire and work. I didn’t have time to think about all that. There was just something about Isabella that drew me to her. I came across beauty every day, what about her was different?I felt even more confused when I handed my number to her. Maybe I should have just taken my loss of rejection and moved on but something in me just couldn’t. I didn’t think she would call me, not after she slapped me. I also couldn’t believe she had refused me. Any other girl would have jumped at the opportunity. I mean, she definitely needed the money. I got back into the car.“What happened in there?” Seb asked

Chapter Five

CHAPTER FIVE ISABELLAS POVFIVE WEEKS LATERI wouldn’t be exaggerating if I said the past few weeks have been the best weeks of my life. There were a few times I regretted agreeing to sleep with Adrian but when I thought about the money, it all seemed worth it. He had even given me more than expected. He gave me double what I asked for.I could finally pay my rent and pay for better health care for my mother. My mum and best friend kept asking how I got the money but I couldn’t tell them. I told them I had won a lottery ticket. My mom believed me but my best friend wasn’t buying it.I felt a little bit ashamed to admit to other people that I had slept with a man because of money. I wanted to keep it a secret for as long as I could. I wanted to focus on finding a new job. Sure the money he gave me was a lot but I couldn’t depend on that to survive forever.I had gone to about eight different job interviews but I hadn’t heard anything back from them. I spent most of the time in the
