"Oh my god!""What?""Oh my god, Eloisa! Why did you not tell me his fucking smoking hot! That gorgeous lad there is salivating and damn irresistible!" Iris her assistant exclaimed thrilled while they were running away from the event center. She couldn't believe that the man behind her tears and happiness was undeniably greek."Eloisa, only an idiot can't see how perfect and sexy he is!" She continued praising him falling for his charm."Hold your horses, Iris, please!" Eloisa mandated. She doesn't have time to giggle and ogle him. She already knew he was smoking handsome but his intimidating aura was too sexy and irresistible. She needs to leave while she can still fight herself from doing crazy. She promised her family and grandmother to do better, the best version of hers, and yet temptation is suddenly kissing her ass."What! Izzy you can't deny the truth it's all over your face!" She continued teasing her."No! It can't be!" She murmured walking faster as if they were chasing a t
"Jonathan, did you know that Izzy is back?" Candice deliberately asked while they were eating breakfast."What!" Jonathan replied as he was not aware Izzy was in Arizona. He has a lot on his plate to watch over her when they are already over and Jonathan is scared to meet her scary grandmother."You don't know?" She teases her looking for an early fight but Jonathan learned his lesson already. Breaking with her was his biggest mistake and taking Candice's lead."What do you want me to say! Why bother asking if your opinion matters!" Jonathan replied annoyed. Once again her jealousy and envy of hers seeping into her bones."Enough!" Candice's father intervened."But dad-" She tried to protest but her father shot her a glare of warning to stop being childish. Despite the passage of six years, she remained unchanged, showing no signs of growth or maturation.Candice's perpetual craving for tumultuous waters over tranquil seas obscured her awareness of her role as a mother. Oblivious to t
Her cover is already blown and wanted to escape immediately. She thought it was already over after years passed but it wasn't. Her heart was indebted to him and forever his but she couldn't play between the sunken river. She needs to find another ocean to quench her thirst. "Eloisa, are you sure you can run from this?" Iris putting sense on her as she knows running away is not the solution. If she puts a closure before then she might not be hurt like this. Running away again will make things worse. "I know Iris! You've been with me for five years and I know you know what's depth in me. I won't filter anything in front of you it's just that at this moment I can't handle it yet." Eloisa sighed depleted looking away. "Then stay! It may be against your wishes but better than knowing nothing. Like you said everything has a reason and I doubt your grandmother will get mad at you!" Iris enunciated with diction."You are acting like grandma!" Eloisa cried. She is human after all. It's just
Izzy Pov... Breaking up with Jonathan wasn't my dream, but the least I could do to make myself worth it. Actually, I didn't want to break up with him, but accidentally learned I wasn't in his heart. The worse I am his number three. That's what a jerk he is. It is pathetic enough to stay in a relationship that isn't working on what you plan. I loved him, but loving someone isn't enough to survive in this chaotic world. It just pains me inside to know how I wasted 4 years of my life with him. Sipping my drink awkwardly before closing my eyes, feeling how miserable I am right now. My family also treated me as the second best, and then later I learned I was adopted. My life sucked since I was born. Yeah! I got a degree, but who cares if no one cares about you? I laughed amicably, pretending I wasn't pitiful breaking into pieces inside me. This world has a lot to throw into you, but I am already tired of trying to please anybody. I sighed deeply lowering my head and smiling like a foo
Izzy Pov...I just woke up incredibly delighted and calm. I thought my morning would be filled with hungover, dreaded, and extremely mad besides my broken heart and soul. I'm not unfortunate then to wake up with a smile on my face. I walk out of my room and go to my bathroom humming the song Girls on Fire by Alicia Keys and dancing with it.She's just a girl and she's on fire Hotter than a fantasy Lonely like a highway She's livin' in a world and it's on fire Filled with catastrophe But she knows she can fly away Broken people can still laugh at the end of the day. I will prove to Jonathan that I'm a person she will regret losing! I poured my heart, soul, and trust into our relationship but what I got was not what I was supposed to deserve.That guy I met last night was incredible. He healed me quickly with just his smiles, laughs, and humor. Sometimes I want to believe that Jonathan leaves for a good reason and that meeting Fabian has a purpose but it's too early to conclude. I
Fabian Pov... I feel light-headed today. Usually, I'm in a dipshit coming to work. She helps me lighten my mood. I had a meeting today at the Jensen Group. I smiled, remembering Izzy, she is gorgeous and perfect, but why would she be number three? That punk is crazy! I would make her number one if I was his man. Anyway, the point is we shared something in common. That's how we easily feel comfortable. It was my first time opening up to a stranger, but it did really help me overcome some of my insecurities and pain. I isolated myself for a month after that scandal. The scandal died slowly, but it will never be forgotten. The fact that I am also in business is something that bothers me. Monica will always be there. How can I easily forget it? "Hey, buddy! So deep!" My best friend interrupted me, reminiscing about last night and the whirlwind I got dating Monica. " Hey!" I replied, smiling. He laughed, looking at me cautiously and suspiciously. Only Mark could find the difference in
Fabian Pov... Expect the unexpected! That's what happened after Mark leaked information about me dating again. It was damn unexpected and I'm already prepared regarding this matter, but I am not sure about Izzy. Things escalated quickly! Since she said yes and signed the contract, we haven't had the chance to talk again as he started to train the new secretary who will take her spot. I was busy with my duties as well while Mark handled matters in his hands. "Izzy, if this rumor will make it hard for you, just call me." I sent her a text to remind her she was not alone. We are in this together and I will be there for her."Mark, you stop the media before it gets worse. It's been just a week since we started seeing each other. We are not yet officially -" I asked my best friend but he cut me off."Let it be Fabian! It has already started. Let the noise fire it up or better add fuel to it." He interrupted, seeming not worried."What! But how about Izzy? I'm worried she will be surpris
Mark Pov... When I saw Izzy's picture my instinct was to trust her no matter what. I pushed Fabian to get her into a contract agreement which works. When I'm staring at her profile I can sense a strong vibe emitting from her innocent face. She looks delicate and really outcast but something in her eyes is telling me to trust her as she is not as innocent as she looks. Now that I meet her personally my hunch was right. It seems she was a sculptured mask into a simpler design and no one will dare to put a fucking interest but she is actually an interesting design.The way she sits composed and not bothered is already a sign she can handle any stone thrown at her or might a burning fire. Fabian is more bothered than her! Since that scandal, Fabian lost his balance slowly going downhill but now that we have Izzy I'm sure he will get back to where he used to be as Izzy was his balance. Whatever happened to them that day is interesting. No one dares to get close to Fabian since that scand
