A YEAR WITH THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 47
Isabella's POVShe throws a cold glare my way before her hands push me backward.It is Mrs. Russell. Jayden's mother."What have you done to him?" Her loud voice echoes around the private corridor of the hospital building.I had done the only thing I could do. Calls.I called the numbers of every name that came to my head.I called his Father and Mother, I called my Grandma and I called Gabriel too. I have cried so much and it feels as if the rivers of tears in my eyes have dried up. I should have known that he was ill. I should have suggested to him that he visit the doctor.I blame myself for this. I blame myself for what happened. Maybe if I hadn't asked him that question or if I hadn't poured water all over him maybe he wouldn't be so mad at himself to have even thought of inflicting pain on himself.What exactly happened in the bathroom is something I have no idea about and only Jayden can explain what happened.I was already on my bed sulking for being clumsy when I heard him s

Jayden's POVShe smiled at me.I saw Helena. Smiling down at me until I opened my eyes to see that Helena isn't here and I am in the hospital.The door opens and Mother rushes in after slamming the door shut. Before she can get to my side, the door opens again and Father comes in, then Gabriel and Sabrina.I am about to ask for Isabella when she comes right through the door with her head down and her hands trembling."Jayden", my Mother cries and lays her head on my stomach.They all surround me, Gabriel smiling down at me while Father holds my hand. They must have been scared. I scared them.I was scared too. I thought I was going to die.But I am confused now. I don't know why Helena was smiling down at me that way.Is it because she is proud of me for inflicting such pains on myself or is it because she has forgiven me?If she had forgiven me, then why am I not feeling any relief? I still feel like the weight of the whole world has been placed on my shoulder. The only relief I fee

Isabella's POVI couldn't sleep a wink all night. I turned into a night watchman for Jayden because I was scared something would happen to him during the night.I forgot to come with my phone so I had nothing to keep me busy. I kept having wild imaginations of a weird creature coming through the windows and stealing Jayden away from here so I held on to him till it was morning and I placed my head on his chest to know that he was still breathing.Still alive.My joy knows no bounds. First, because his Mother will blame me if anything happens, and secondly because I want him to survive whatever it is eating him up that he doesn't want to talk to me about.Apparently, everyone else knows about the story of him and Helena. I kept thinking of the decision I needed to make throughout the night and I have gotten my answers.I have a job to do. A job that no one sent me. A job I will not be paid for but I hope it will help heal Jayden.Before I can rise to stretch my body, a knock comes on
A YEAR WITH THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 50
Jayden's POVI can't believe she said is leaving. She wants to go against the contract.I understand that this might be coming from the concerns she has for me and because of what my mother must have said to her which is why she is taking this rash decision.She isn't as tired as I am but we are in this already.She is going nowhere till the end of our one-year contract. I don't care what my mother says and I don't care what she says either.She is staying and that's final.Fortunately, Gabriel came with his car and I told the doctor to let me go. He didn't want to until I promised him I would rest for the whole week at home.I need to stop Isabella. I don't know if she is going home to pack her things.Our marriage is just three weeks old.What will the public say of me? What will my mother think? By leaving, Isabella is just giving my Mother the opportunity to say it to everyone that she didn't marry me because she loves me but because she is after my money."Drive faster before she
A YEAR WITH THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 51
Isabella's POVGabriel's home is beautiful and big but nowhere compared to Jayden's. There is a big pool in the front yard which has me swaying in amazement.The moment Gabriel parks the car in the driveway, he breaks the heavy silence that has been between us since we left Jayden's mansion."I am curious, you know?" He says casually as he opens the door of the car. He climbs down and I do the same.When he comes around to the other side, he stands in front of me. He is indeed curious. "I don't think you and my wife are friends and I'm surprised that you asked to come here of all places", he mentions and I shrug without a word.There is no need to tell him what I am here for. I came here to see both of them. Now that he is also here, I should see them together. Sabrina might not know everything but I'm sure Gabriel has the answers to everything.He notices I am not saying anything so he sighs and sags his shoulders down in resignation."Go on inside", he points to the front door. "I

Jayden's POVIt has been a week since I went to work and I have been home resting simply because Isabella insisted that I stay at home for a week.I know I actually needed the rest but I couldn't pay deaf ears to the piles of work I had to sort out.With Isabella's help, I got everything done in just a few days while we left the others at work. Anna usually brings the important one home for me and Isabella to work on. Most times, she handles it alone while I watch her do it.She has been really supportive and I can't believe she hasn't brought up the issue of leaving again since the other day.When she came back home that night, she was with a smile on her face and I was happy to see her back in the house. I kept on ignoring the voice telling me that Isabella would never come back again.I am going to resume work tomorrow but I decided to make today worth it for Isabella. I want to appreciate her for staying by my side all through the week, making jokes just to see me laugh, and doing
A YEAR WITH THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 53
Isabella's POVI watch him struggle with his words. I watch him narrate every single thing without leaving a stone unturned. I watch him make an effort not to break down in front of me and I wish I could wrap my hands around him, comfort him and tell him everything will be fine.Time they say heals all wounds. Jayden is healing already but he doesn't know. For a whole year that I worked for him, I never knew he was battling with something as deep as this.I judged him to be cruel, harsh, and rude. I never knew he was battling with the trauma of watching his wife die in his arms just within a minute of arguing with each other.It makes me want to cry. But I am refraining from letting my tears pour.When I can no longer hold it in, a tear drops from my eyes. Before I can wipe it, Jayden sees it and he smiles sadly and stops talking.How do I console him? It feels like I was right there that night, standing aside and watching him and Gabriel struggle to revive her back to life as the
A YEAR WITH THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 54
Isabella's POVHis body still goes against mine and I pull away instantly. A cold shiver runs down my spine instantly at the absence of the touch of his body on mine.What did I just do? I know I am excited about the thought of going to Verona and having Jayden sponsor my trip but why did I jump on him that way?Won't he get the wrong idea about me? Why is he even doing this?I know he has been nice to me for a week now but I believe it's because of his ill-health and how I have been helping him recuperate but it shouldn't be more than that. If I don't take care for him, who will? I am his wife after all.I clear my throat and tuck the strand of hair that falls on my face behind my ears. I gulp down and ask him. "Why are you doing this?""What?" Confusion skates his expression at the question."Why do you want to sponsor my trip to Italy?" I ask again and he smiles. A smile that sends my inside in disarray.I have seen him smile a lot these past few days but this one feels different
