ISABELLA
Jaden was staring at me I tried really hard not to notice him but it was pretty much impossible.His eyes followed me everywhere I went.He was so busy watching me that he almost caught the meatballs he was making on fire.Is idea for a great dinner was spaghetti and meatballs made from scratch.Well that aside his constant gaze was making me feel uncomfortable.Even why we were eating dinner he was staring and missed his mouth at least five times,leaving a trail of tomato sauce down his chin,which he didn't wipe away in time,so it left a stain on his pale skin.
I ate with my head down,so I didn't have to make eye contact with him.why was he acting weird?,was it because I told him about my family?,If I'd known he was going to react like this,I wouldn't have mentioned it.His change in character and attitude was so drastic and all of a sudden it creeped me out.Did he really feel that bad for treating me the w
I stumbled my way into my bedroom and almost gasped,my bedroom was messed up,my bed was torn,my pillows were pieces,my closet was empty."who steal shitty clothes?" I yelled into the scattered and destroyed room kicking at the strewn pillow.I couldn't believe it,I should have known. those squatters where up to something mischievous,I should have done something about them earlier.This was what I got for my kindness?Jaden appeared in my bedroom doorway,frowning deeply,"the police are on their way you should take some pictures.""I get it",I muttered."Excuse me?""I totally get homeless people wanting things" I ground out "but did they have to steal from someone who barely have anything? I mean come on!,just ask for some hand me down,don't wreck my place" I ran my hands through my hair,letting out a frustrated sigh."You should make a list of what's missing," Jaden suggested folding his arms on his chest. I rubbed my forehead, "there's no point.I didn't have any
JADENThe sky started raining cats and dogs,The rain pattered against the window wall in my living room and I tried to focus on it instead of the young woman that is currently soaking in the Jacuzzi tub in the room above.I sat on the couch with one leg crossed over the other,drumming my fingers on my knee.After so many years of solitude in my house,it felt strange to have another presence around.Robert usually only stayed for a couple of hours when he came over,but Isabella was staying the whole night.I looked down at couch where she'd probably by sleeping.Isabella was small,but I didn't think she'd be able to lie down comfortably on it.I'd mostly bought it for the sake of design my sittingroom and the fact that it was a good brand.I wasn't meant for sleeping on but what was I supposed to do? offer to sleep in my bed with me? I'd mostly likely get a slap but I definitely wasn't going to be sleeping on the couch.But she's been in a very stressful situatio
ISABELLAMaking up my mind to sleep on Jaden couch had seemed like a good idea the night before,seeing as how I was a guest and all,but by six in the morning,I'd decided it was probably the worst idea.I felt like I hadn't slept at all.The cushions weren't comfortable and my body was to long. so I have to curl up to keep my feet from dangling off the edge of the arm supports.I briefly considered getting up so I didn't have to try getting comfortable again.Immediately as I was shifting,a light from the hallway above turned me on.I turned my head up to the balcony and saw Jaden stumbling towards the stairs,his head bowed.He was dressed in a navy blue suit and his hair was wet,as if he'd just gotten out of shower.As he came to the couch as if he had notice me and I frose with my half-eye closed,hoping he wouldn't notice I was awake.After some seconds he started moving again but this time slowly and quietly,as if he was not trying to wake me up.It was ruined however w
PROLOGUE"Jaden,Jaden,it is time for you to settle down with someone."I glanced from where I lay on my flotation mattress,looking tired to keep myself from indenting the material as I trained myself to do,At the doorway stood my father,who gave me a calm but disapproved look that I made a move to sit up properly.His expression was a definition of disappointment,slim nose upturned,I already knew where the conversation was heading,I let my cheek fall to the cool mattress with a sigh."This again"I said."You are no longer a boy,you are now a man"He said while unfolding his arms on his chest revealing the beauty of his suit as he moves,His hair is grey and beard giving him all round classic aura.I am still a growing young man,there is still time."I married your mother when i was even younger than you are" he said as the matter of fact "It is time for y
ISABELLA"Becky,table five have been waiting for two minutes for someone to come and take their drink order"Patrick,the manger on shift said ad he walks towards me at the hostess stand.I blinked at him,trying to ignore the fact that he got my wrong million times over while wondering if he notice my hand was full with plates from other tables,when he glanced over at me,I gave him the fakest smile i could produce"I will be right there"I answered."Good"In a haste,i went back to table seven,i hated table seven,I didn't know if it was my luck or the table is cursed because whoever sat there ended uo being the most rudest and stupidest on mother earth.This time it is some bunch of men in suits that try to touch me anytime I served them."Chicken soup"I annouced as i set down one of the plates in front of a bald head man with big stomach.
JADEN"The plans for the hotel in Ibadan,Nigeria in west Africa have gone accordingly "Both our construction team and the councelor of the local government have approved the blue prints."I have the all documents and the estimated budget here with me and we could start the construction in five days,if only you sign and approve it,sir."I looked up from my Ipad to see,two pairs of nervous eyes looking at me,It was my assistant Derrick.He always had that expression on his face.I jave forgotten I was in the middle of a meeting and because I was absent minded,I had no idea on what the discussion was about.I just replied "if my father approves it,let go along with it.""Sir,your father said for you to oversee and approve,If I go back to him,he will scold us."Derrick whispers.I adjust my chair to sit comfortably,where they still taking about the hotel in Ibad
Isabella"Hey,those the last name Castle ring a bell to you?"I asked Chloe some days after the scene at the restaurant.we were currently in my other part time a coffee house known as Coffee Spot.Chloe were good friends maybe it's because we work together or because I don't have friends,she is also like a sister I never had.I was content with her,she was cute,friendly and all around a good type of girl.The type everyone need around especially when it's a personal life."If I tell you,you will fishtail my hair for me?"she responded pointing to her messy black hair tied on top of her head.I was already late for work and couldn't really do anything with it ."Ok,sit down."Chloe quickly took a seat on a stool lining on the countertop.Unfortunately the coffee Spot was full of silence,as it usually was in the afternoon so I have more time to fix her hair up.
JADENI adjust my chair,so I will be more comfortable in the discussion.The moment I made the offer,I saw Isabella' face go completely blank,I knew I'd won her over permanently been rich is like you can have everything and anything,After all money could buy anything."So what are the terms and agreements?"she asked and I found myself grinning widely with an atmospheric belief that I won."Let us discuss then"I suggested.I unlocked my phone pulling up the agreements and terms,I worked on for some days.Robert stood up from us deciding to give us some privacy in our discussions.He went over to the marbled counter to keep Chloe company as she stared at us,obviously curious but don't want to invade our privacy.Isabella watched me closely and in full attention that I could almost see the inner struggle she was undergoing.while I didn't blam
