A YEAR WITH THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 72
Jayden's POVI stir in my sleep, my lips parted and my eyes eventually fly open to see the darkness around me.Someone must have turned off the light, I think to myself as I stretch my hand towards the bedside.There is no bedside and it clicks. I am not in my mansion but the Academia hotel in Italy.Hurriedly, I sit upright and search for my phone on the bed. I remember going downstairs to get coffee for myself and breakfast for Isabella which I don't even know if she ate or not.When I came back up, I took a hot bath before jumping into bed and working on my laptop, expecting her to come out so we could talk but she stayed indoors till I fell asleep.How long have I been sleeping? I ask within myself as I find my phone and press the button to check the time.It is 6 pm which means I have been out for more than 5 hours.Wow! I can't remember how long I have slept this way before, even at night. I guess my exhaustion from the flight and my recent sleepless nights are responsible.I f

Isabella's POVJayden reeks of alcohol as his breath fans my entire face. When he wraps his hands around my waist, I stare at his handsome face while he continues to blink rapidly.I have been out with Romeo and I was damn worried Jayden would do something rash like leaving for New York without letting me know or something unexpected.My mind was divided and I had to plead with Romeo to let me go home early so I could rest well.He didn't think twice about letting me come back to the hotel. He is such a perfect gentleman and I am more than confused now on what to do with his request tonight.For the past 3 days that we have been going out and for 6 days since we bumped into each other, I was so sure that he liked me and that I liked him too and now that he has eventually confessed his feelings to me, I do not feel anything in me but numbness.This is the reason why I wanted to come back to the hotel so I could think things through and come to a decision.Romeo isn't giving me enough t

Isabella's POVI wake up with a groan, wondering why I feel sore and pain all over my body. I twist my body in the bed, my hand flying to the space next to me when it clicks in my head.I had sex. With Jayden. Not Romeo. Here in Verona.My eyes widen as the memories of last night's passionate sex come rushing to my head. I remember how I was writhing beneath him, moaning and crying out in pleasure.What have I done? Where is Jayden?I sit upright abruptly, looking around to see that I am in the room alone with my clothes away. I am completely naked, except for the comforter wrapped around me as I sit up.Just before I can scramble out of bed to look around and figure out what was going on, I hear the knock on the door and then water running in the bathroom.Just then, the door to the bathroom opens and a half-naked Jayden comes out with just a towel draped around his waist. He saunters to the door, without noticing me.I am just sitting with my mouth agape, thinking about what happ

Isabella's POVWhen he smiled at me and I didn't reciprocate, his countenance changed and he figured out that something was wrong.He must have figured out my answer just from merely looking at my unsmiling face because the next thing he does is sigh heavily.He stretches his hand for me to take and I hesitate. Jayden is lurking around somewhere watching us. I can't let him touch me anyhow he wants now that Jayden and I are together because I know how jealous Jayden can be.What is between Jayden and me doesn't feel right but I love it. I love how he makes me feel."Is everything ok?" He questions, watching me carefully."I have some things to tell you", I declare openly, standing awkwardly in front of him.He flashes me a smile, his cute face looking peaceful. "Let's sit, then?"I nod. Leading me to the street bench, he continues smiling as he peers down at me, as though he can read through me.I am thinking of how to reject him politely and also tell him about my marriage to Jayden
A YEAR WITH THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 76
Isabella's POVMy jaws drop.Not at the venom in his voice. But at his utterance. Does he know Jayden? He doesn't even know who he is so why is he talking this way?I know it might take a long time before Jayden begins to love me but what matters is that he wants to give this a chance. He wants to give us a chance and that is all that matters the most to me.I am a patient person. I can wait till he is ready to open up and accept me to be his partner. We are married after all. All I need to do is show him love, make him happy and be there for him all the time."What about you? Is this just about him and what he wants? Do you think being selfless is what the world is all about? You don't even know if he loves you." Romeo adds as if hearing my thoughts.I shake my head. I don't want to let his words get to me and discourage me from moving on with what has barely started between Jayden and me.We haven't talked about us and what the future holds but I have a strong conviction that it is
A YEAR WITH THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 77
Jayden's POVSeeing her in lingerie makes the resolve to speak to her about what happened in Italy disappear into thin air.Instead, my heartbeat increases and a lump gets stuck in my throat as I watch her approach, making me speechless.I had a bad day and it has been making me think about all that happened in Italy and how she confessed her love for me.I feel guilty. I feel remorseful for putting her into this situation and I want to remedy it before it is too late.Isabella accused me of using her even before we had sex and now that we already had sex, I am beginning to think that she is right.A relationship between us can't be possible. She needs to leave after a year.I didn't give much thought to all of this till we landed in New York this morning and I realize that keeping her is part of using her.I shouldn't cage her here. I shouldn't give her the thought that something more could happen between us. I don't want her to expect too much from me and then I will end up disappoi
A YEAR WITH THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 78
Isabella's POVImmediately the door opens, and I rush into her arms crying my eyes out and holding onto her firmly so I can squeeze out all the hurt and emotions I am feeling right now.My tears are because of how stupid I feel. I should have given this much thought. I should have known that Jayden's sudden change in behavior is questionable. I should have known that Romeo was right and not selfish like Jayden.I have always considered women who confess their feelings for men even before men do the same as foolish and I have become a foolish woman for confessing my feelings for Jayden the very next day after we fought, reconciled, and had sex.I am stupid. I shouldn't have allowed him to touch me. I shouldn't have given out my virginity to him that way. I shouldn't have even accepted this offer.My chest tightens within my ribcage and I find it very hard to breathe.My cries turn into sobs as I try to breathe properly all to no avail. Before I can pull away, someone rushes out of the
A YEAR WITH THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 79
Jayden's POVA wave of nostalgia hit me when I saw her running out of the gates before anyone could stop her. It reminded me of something similar which happened two years ago.Helena.This was the same thing Helena did. We argued and she left in anger. I didn't follow her like I just did with Isabella. This is because I don't want fate to repeat itself again.I doubt if I can ever find my peace if the same thing happens to Isabella.Sitting right in front of the car, I stare up at the house, relieved that she is here and not somewhere else. I followed her for two reasons. To be sure that she is fine and to know where she is going.I heave a deep sigh before going into the car to drive to Gabriel's place. His call came in earlier while I was driving and following the cab Isabella brought to her Grandma's place. I couldn't pick up but I called him immediately I got here to ask if he was home.I have been here for several minutes. I don't know if it's because Isabella left the house or s
