Alle Kapitel von Seducing My Assistant: Kapitel 11 – Kapitel 20

ISABELLA'S POVI had never dreaded going to the office as much as I did at that point. Elion was more than calm beside me. That was the least reaction I expected him to have. He wasn't spiraling. He wasn't arguing. He was calm. I looked over at him in the car, and I couldn't even believe what was happening. He was my husband, and we were newly weds. As the both of us walked into the office, I couldn't help but notice that all the televisions in the office were on the same station. Watching Elion and I as we managed to escape the press. We had gotten married, and the press were eating off of it. All eyes were turned towards the both of us as my heels announced our presence. For the first time in my life, I wished I was in sneakers instead. The slight eye roll that Elion gave, told me that he was feeling the same way. “Turn the tv off,” I snapped, and someone immediately turned it off. One of the janitors jogged towards me, with his hands in his pockets. “The board has asked me

ISABELLA'S POV “Miss Kingston,” the butler said, and I could tell that he was shocked to see me. Even I was shocked that I would be making it back to the Kingston house for some reason. I gave him a quick nod. “Is everybody inside?” I asked, and he quickly nodded. I believe they have been waiting for you. He pushed the door open, and I stepped inside, walking through the hallway. Right past the marble tiles and the engraving in the walls that I usually ran my hands through. I wasn't in the mood for that. My legs seemed to stop briefly in front of my grandpa's photo, and I gave it a small smile even as tears pricked the back of my eyes. “They want to eat me raw,” I whispered. “Only you can help me.”With that, I tipped my chin, walking into the main living room, where my family members were gathered. I stopped for just a second, taking in the sight of them. They were frustrated. They were angry. They wanted me dead. I liked every bit of it.My heels announced my presence, and I fin

ISABELLA'S POVI could finally breathe when Thomas left the house. It was almost like he was watching our every move. And even I was under the pressure of telling him that Elion and I were going to get divorced eventually. But I couldn't deny the fact that there was a certain type of peace that I was getting, annoying him. I loved watching him lose his cool. I turned to face him, with my back to the door. He walked up to me, pinning me to the wall. I got a whiff of his perfume, and I held back the feeling of wanting to bury my face in his chest. God, I was still getting to know this man. Why the hell did he have to look so perfect?My aunt's voice was immediately in my head, telling me that the perfect looking ones were the most flawed. But it couldn't be Elion. “What did I do this time?” I asked in a whisper. “Or are you just so eager to be this close to me.”His jaw tightened. “You should go home,” he finally said, taking a step back. I leaned back against the door even more. “W

ELION'S POVShe had gotten a text on her phone, and I could tell that it had destabilized her. Still, I didn't ask any questions. I didn't want to. Her spine was straight throughout the drive home. And as we got to the house, she just headed upstairs, had her bath, and went to bed. I wanted to ask her what was wrong, but I wasn't supposed to care. I was going to hurt her in the end. It was only going to be the most stupid thing if I ended up getting attached. My head was hurting as I sat down on the couch in the living room. Sharing my space with another woman yet again…It had been a while since I did that. And now that I did it, it felt more awkward than it did the last time. I reached out for my laptop, checking my email. I was about to start sorting through everything that had to do with the office, when I saw a mail from Marco sitting on the top. I quickly opened it, before bringing my phone out of my pocket. He was calling me the whole evening. I quickly called him back.

ISABELLA'S POVI could barely breathe. But Daniel wasn't wrong.. The company's stocks have never gone that low in years. Not when my dad was handling it. Not when my grandpa took over the place. He handled everything just as he should. I could still feel Elion's eyes on me, waiting for me to make a decision. He was cold to me in the office. That was more than enough reason for me not to be able to think clearly. God, I hated how much his actions had an effect on me. It wasn't new, but it felt different. “So, Heiress,” Daniel said calmly- the only thing I could hear was the mocking tone. “What steps are you going to take?”I could feel the eyes of the board on me. I closed my eyes one more time as I tried to put myself together. “Fine,” I said, inhaling deeply. “I need the board to give me some time. Everything will be sorted.”I could feel all the pride and confidence that I once had, get shattered right before my eyes. “What if we don't have that much time?” Daniel pressed, and
