A YEAR WITH THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 57
Isabella's POVHis lips move on mine and the kiss isn't rough. It is sweet, soft, slow, and passionate. It is the exact thing I have always envisioned for my first time.Something as soft as the feathers of a hummingbird, something as sweet as my favorite wine, Adrianna Vineyard, something as slow as the current music, and something as passionate as what is between Jayden and me.At first, the kiss caught me off guard but I did not waste any more time by thinking about the kiss instead of enjoying it while it lasted.I throw every warning and thought to the winds and grab his waist closer, tugging him hard against my front, his chest pressing hard on my bosom.He delves his tongue further into my mouth, seeking access to explore more of the insides of my mouth and I open my mouth wider to grant him full access, to taste every inch of my mouth.A groan escapes his mouth and I let out the moan I have been trying not to let out too. His touch makes my skin feel so alive but his kiss is p

Jayden's POVWhile putting some files into my briefcase so I could go home, the door opens and I look up to see my mother come in."Mother?" I wiggle my eyebrows at her as she closes the door and ventures inside.Is Anna gone? Why didn't she inform me that Mother is here?I plan to go home early today because Gabriel and I have plans to meet up somewhere to close our deal and sign up the contract of my partnership. We couldn't do that because I have been absent from work for a whole week and I have been coming to work for three days now without seeing him.He told me how busy he has been coupled with the demands of his pregnant wife and we planned to meet tonight.Sabrina would be going out with her friend too which is giving him the time to come out. I hope now that he is expecting a baby, he will be faithful to his wife."What are you doing here?" I ask her with confusion, skating my expression. Why is she here by this time of the day? We haven't seen each other for days. Well, I h
A YEAR WITH THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 59
Jayden's POVThe silent ride home gives me enough time to think about everything that is happening and what just happened between Mother and me before she went home with her driver.I haven't said a single word to Jude since I climbed into the car and he began to drive me home. But I have to tell him to wait for me to take a quick shower and change into something light so he can drive me to where Gabriel and I will be meeting.I have been avoiding Isabella and sometimes I sleep in my office while other times, I sleep on the sofa.Things have been really awkward between us ever since that day. I have been trying not to let it get into the way of our new friendship but it is getting in the way. I can't just pretend the kiss didn't happen. I find it very hard to sleep on the same bed with her too, for fear that I would lose my cool and act on impulse. I had no idea what came over me that day. Maybe it was because she looked like Helena that day and she reminded me of Helena, the way she
A YEAR WITH THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 60
Isabella's POVAs soon as Jayden entered the large gate of Gabriel's home, he asked the driver to halt the car right after he entered so I could drop.I can feel his eyes on me till I get to the door. I turn back slowly to see him looking just like I thought he would.He waves at me, signaling me to go inside. I am sure he wants me to go in to be sure that I am not lying about wanting to come and see Sabrina.I wonder what he is afraid of.It amazes me to know that he is actually scared of me leaving him. I want to have a good feeling about this but I know I shouldn't. I shouldn't get ahead of myself. All Jayden is after is making sure that everything goes as planned. This is just about him.Only about him.If I leave now, he will be the talk of the town. The bachelor who has been thought to never want to have anything to do with any woman ever again suddenly got married and after a month, he is divorced.It will make a good headline in the New York Times newspaper but I am sure he do
A YEAR WITH THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 61
Jayden's POV I finish up our discussion in a hurry with my heart racing practically in my ribcage. My mind was on Isabella and what she would do if Sabrina doesn't pay much attention to her. I remembered that Gabriel would be out with me tonight because Sabrina was also going out with her female friends and she might not have time to entertain Isabella. When we got to Gabriel's home to meet Isabella and Sabrina's absence, fear sprang up in my heart and I began to pace the courtyard, dialing my home phone to give Sandra a call while Gabriel also called his wife. Sandra told me Isabella wasn't home but Gabriel's wife said she was with her. That was when I breathed a sigh of relief but I wasn't still assured until they arrived. The moment the driver gears the car inside the courtyard, I take a long stride toward them while Gabriel follows me behind. I haven't been giving him attention. My mind and thoughts have been all over the place. I have been thinking of what I would do if she
A YEAR WITH THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 62
Isabella's POVGrandma wraps her hands around me in a tight, warm hug that forces me to push back the emotions sweeping through me.It's been a while since I last visited and I miss her so much. She doesn't visit me at all and I understand that she is trying to give me the privacy that I need and deserve as a married woman.I came to see her and how she is coping with her new maid who she likes talking about over the phone and also to inform her of my upcoming trip to Italy in five days.I am so excited about it and I wish we could go on this trip together. But I know that won't be possible because I can't afford it and I can't bring myself to ask Jayden to do this as a favor.I can't ask him for anything that has to do with money. Even if I want to summon up the courage to do that, the fact that I actually got paid before venturing into the business I have with him and his mother's claim that I am in this marriage for the monetary benefits won't allow me.I have my pride as a woman.
A YEAR WITH THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 63
Isabella's POV I burst into the room without knocking to see Jayden pacing the room with a phone glued to his ears and his mouth moving. I stand by the door for a while but when he hoists his head to look at me, I venture inside. "Yes, I will give you a call later today", he says while I walk past him to drop my bag and find somewhere to sit till he is done and we can talk about the news. How the hell can someone tell the press that we are not real couples? Who the hell would that be? I'm still finding it very hard to believe because Jayden and I are really doing a great job at making things look real between us. No one would have thought we aren't real unless of course his mother who is still having doubts about me being a gold digger. Perhaps, she is responsible. Maybe this is another tactic of hers to have me gone forever from her son's life. "Do you have any idea who did this?" Jayden's voice jerks me out of my reverie and when I look up, he is wagging a newspaper in front o
A YEAR WITH THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 64
Jayden's POVThis is the best solution. Not the ridiculous idea of meeting up with Juliet and confronting her about the newspaper headlines.That won't do anything. The deed has been done and the only way to rectify this is to accept the invitation to the business dinner party which I rejected last week because Isabella would be going to Verona two days after.I just need to make an appearance there to rule out the rumor about us being in a contractual marriage.Isabella also likes the idea but she wanted to confront Juliet and we argued back and forth about that before she agreed not to go.That will only cause a scene. What she has done is enough. It might actually ruin the idea of getting divorced after a year but I won't let that bother me. I don't let people's disreputable talks about me get to me, I see no reason why now should be the beginning of letting their talks get to me.After a year, we are getting separated and that is final. I don't care if they get to relate it to th
