A Deal With The Billionaire CEO 139
Damien 139.I knew that there was no point in trying to search for Isabella because she was long gone. I was alone in the house with Natalia who was my ex. We had tried to make it work but then I realized that I wanted something different. She is still hung up on me and I do not know what to do.The second person with us was Camilla Valdez. Apparently, she was part of Renaissance and I had no idea. In fact, it was safe to say that I had little clues about the company that I worked in.I took a deep calming breath but it did nothing to calm me down."And so it begins," Natalie said with a happy smile."Whatever game you want to play, I want to part of it," I warned her. She shrugged where she sat."The game has already begun, Damien, it does not matter if you want to play or not," Natalie replied."This is how it starts," Camilla said wistfully. "She is not going to stop going behind your back, you sealed your fate the moment you refused to tell her all your dir

Isabella 140.I held the man that I hated so much with love and care. It surprised me so much that the silence that followed after we stopped embracing was long and a bit awkward.We had a quiet tea together while I looked around some more. His house neither felt like a home nor an apartment. It looked like a more like a rented Airbnb. It looked temporary."How is he treating you?" He asked in a neutral but respective manner."Overprotective," I said.Father looked genuinely surprised when he heard what I said."As he should be," He answered stoically. But I could see that my answere had changed something in him."He wanted to punch you out when he first saw you," I told him."Please do not remind me," Father said with a small chuckle. "I was caught by surprise, that is all," He added.We went silent again. Something was gnawing at the back of my mind."About earlier, when I told you that I did not want to hear anything about you and mom, I did not mean that. I was just very angry,"
A Deal With The Billionaire CEO 141
Damien 141.I waited for my wife in the dark. I had sent the maids home immediately after Natalia and Camilla left my home. I needed to be alone so I could ruminate on what to do. I was angry all through the day because Isabella had disobeyed me.How could she not see that I was trying my best to protect her? I had to do something about Emilio telling her things that she did not need to know. She had also been right about Vito. It disgusted me to refer to him as my father but he had to go.He had put the life of my wife under threat for the third time and he had to pay with his life. However, with the current development happening at the company, it will be too hard to get to Vito without garnering suspicion.It was fully dark before Isabella came back but my anger had dissipated into a sad acceptance. I heard her first before I saw her. I had been meaning to call someone to fix the creaking door that led to the house but I never really made time for the

Isabella 142"I have done things, Isabella," Said Damien, with a haunted look etched on his face. "Things that I am not very proud of," He added hauntingly.From where I stood, I could feel his despair as he spoke to me, afraid to meet my eyes. Was that why he was being so demanding and bossy. It did not suit him to be so haughty around me. In fact it was the only thing that repelled me against people.My curiosity had brought me here and I knew that despite what Damien was saying, there was no going back.Who was Damien Moretti before he became a business man? Why was he so quick to dismiss his past any time it was brought up? What was he hiding?"Why are you so afraid of your past, Damien?" I asked him."I am not afraid of anything, Isabella," He retorted tightly."You know that your past is catching up with us, Damien," I told him. He could only sigh in return."I will protect us when the time comes," He said."Like you protected me when your father happen
A Deal With The Billionaire CEO 143
Damien 143.We slept in separate rooms for the first time. I knew that couples had their disputes and I have had my fair share of them but with Isabella, this fight was different. It hurt when she looked me in the eye and told me she had no trust for me again.It seemed like ever since I was called upon to lead Renaissance, it had affected my relationship with Isabella greatly. A string of unfortunate events took place when I woke up this morning.The first one came in form of a call."They are transferring me, Damien," Michael said as soon as I answered the phone. I was still in the throes of slumber when my phone rang."What?""I have been pulled off the case," He said. "It seemed like I was too close to home," He added.Strings were being pulled to stop him from asking questions and revealing heavily kept secrets of the company. There was only one person who came to mind the more that I thought about it. Camilla Valdez."It seems like this is the end of t

Isabella 144.I woke up with his scent in the room but I knew that he was long gone. I was alone in the house except for the maids who dutifully went about their work. I had no idea what today was going to bring nor what drama it would entail.I got off the bed and entered into the bathroom to brush my teeth. I did not bother about my bath because I was currently jobless and I had no where to go and no friends to visit.I left the bathroom to get to the kitchen downstairs only to find the last person I had wanted to see impatiently tapping her high heeled shoe tip on the marble floor. The maids did well to stay out of her way."What are you doing here?" I asked her."I should be asking you the same question, you have no reason to be in this house," Natalia retorted."I am still married to your ex, so I get to stay here," I sarcastically replied. She had no reason to know about my pregnancy."Right! I forgot he proposed," Natalia said distatefully."Why are you here? Damien already lef
A Deal With The Billionaire CEO 145
Damien 145.After numerous camera shots and fake smiles with fake compliments, I was finally able to have a seat with the senator. He seemed to be in a good mood as he joined me on the table that had been set up for the both of us."It's the launching of a new restaurant and as part of the campaign process, Senator Kelly is doing the honor of launching the place," Camilla had filled me in with the details."It still does not explain why I am supposed to be present," I told her as the SUV moved through the traffic."Renaissance is sponsoring his second term in the office and the restaurant is part of Renaissance. We are branching out to the world of cuisine," Camilla replied.My phone buzzed with a message and I looked at it."You sent Natalia to my place knowing fully well that I was not home," I said to her."I wanted her to get along with your wife," Camilla said with a playful shrug. I had no idea what she was up to.I had sent a quick messages my mom. I did not trust Natalia and I
A Deal With The Billionaire CEO 146
Isabella 146I was not really close with my husband's mother but I was glad that she was here and I particularly loved the fact her presence made Natalia leave. I wondered how it got so bad between the two of them.Ava was the actual executive officer of Renaissance and I did not even know that until it was too late."How have you been?" She asked me."It is my first day of being a complete house wife, so I do not know how to feel at the moment," I told her."I wish we had met under different circumstances," Ava said to me as she sat down.We were both quiet for a while when she said that."Why?" I asked."Maybe your relationship with Damien would be easier today," She replied. "Because our family is a warsome one, even from the womb, we were fighters," She added.I could be a fighter too if only your son would let me help him. I thought to myself."Why does it have to be that way?" I asked. "Why does he have to fight to be with me?" I demanded from her
