Isabella's POVJayden's outburst got to me and I began to question why I thought we were beginning to become friendly with each other just like couples ought to be.I wanted to ask him who Helena was too but I couldn't because his cold glare made me shut my mouth.I didn't want him to see me inside the room by the time he came back from the bathroom, so I stepped out, touring both the front and the backyard of the mansion with my arms folded around me and my mind far away.Who would have thought I would end up being a contracted wife for my boss? I believe in love and I hold marriages in high esteem but here I am desecrating the vows of marriage.My desire to see Grandma back on her feet has been achieved but I am still stuck in this marriage for months to come.I get to the pool and stand watching the calmness of the water, wishing I can have a quiet life like this too.But I can't.

Jayden's POVThe gate automatically opens and Jude drives into the mansion. The moment he parks the car in the driveway, I climb down and take long strides towards the house.I have been calling Isabella's phone since noon to inform her about tonight's family dinner that we have invited to but she isn't picking up.I was a bit worried, thinking she left the house because of how I scolded her this morning but after a while, I wave it off.I am not to be blamed. She was overstepping her boundary and crossing the line that we are supposed to set for ourselves.She was also supposed to go shopping with Anna but I saw Anna in the office during lunch break. When I questioned Anna about why she hadn't gone to meet my wife at home so they could do shopping, Anna told me my mother canceled the appointment.I was surprised. I should have known that my mother would take her suggestions about accompanying Isabella to go shopping, seriously. After hearing that, I guessed Isabella must have left h

Isabella's POV With our arms intertwined, Jayden flashes me a smile and I can't figure out if it is for assurance or if the act of playing real couples has started already. We begin to walk towards the front door of the big mansion. It has a waterfall in the middle of the front yard and I was mesmerized by it. The more we approach the front door, the more nervous I become and my hands tremble a little. When Jayden told me we would sleep on the same bed because we need to act like we are real and are truly in love, my heart skipped a beat. How do I manage to hide my sleeping defect from him now that we are bound to sleep on the same bed? I couldn't even suggest to him that another bed was the best because he walked past me to the bathroom immediately to take a shower so we could come here. My heart has been racing since then. I am scared and anxious. And now, I have to deal with his family members. I haven't met others but I have been introduced to his parents before. The house

Isabella's POVThe ride back home is in extreme, awkward silence. We left the mansion in a hurry even though I know Jayden wanted me to spend more time with his family but his mother ruined it all.The atmosphere became tense and moody. Jayden stood up and asked us to leave for home.I was glad. I was already uncomfortable with all the pitiful stares I was getting after the men apologized for Mrs. Russell's behavior.Apparently, she doesn't like me. She has been pretending all along to like me but she doesn't in reality.No wonder she made fun of my sleepwear. No wonder she asked me to undress Jayden. This is all in an attempt to frustrate me. She is mad at me for rejecting her offer.I can not accept her offer. Even though she is willing to offer me way more than Jayden gave, I am going to be loyal to Jayden till the end.He helped me when I was in desperate need of help. If he had ignored me when I asked for his help, what would have happened to Grandma by now?He helped me save my

She was always understanding and supportive. When I saw the smile on her face, I knew she had accepted reality and she is here to reconcile with me.But I feel embarrassed. More than I was the very first day she got to know that the marriage between Jayden and I wasn't real and we deceived her.She flashes me another smile as I lead her inside, towards the living room with Jayden trudging behind us in silence.We get there and I make her sit down. I sit beside her, watching her face to know if all is well. I feel bad for not going back to the house since the other day to check up on her.I should have known that her anger won't last for too long. I notice she is looking down at my silk satin dress."How are you, Mother?" I ask, breaking the silence between us.I see Jayden take the staircase up and when Grandma hears his foots

My eyes open wide and I take my arms off him and scramble out of bed with my heart pounding hard in my chest.What the hell!When did I put my hands on his body? I ask no one in particular as my eyes glance around the room to see that the light wasn't off.Why didn't he turn off the light before sleeping?Slowly, I drag my silly self to the sofa with my two hands on my cheeks. I drop to the sectional sofa and my butt hits something. I shoot to my feet to grab whatever it is and my eyes fall on the book I am supposed to hide from Jayden.A loud gasp escapes my mouth as fear begins to consume my whole existence. This book has been on this sofa all through yesterday and I am wondering if Jayden had seen it or not.How can I forget something like this?
