YSABELLEMy hands automatically covered my widened eyes in shock. But I remember my naked body is displayed in front of him without anything on.“F*ck!”My whole face turned red as I reached the towel, with a trembling hand, and hid in the corner.“Jesus Christ! Ronan!”I suddenly felt a hand covering my mouth and pinned me on the wall. “Shh, the kids might wake up.”The warmth from his breath, his hand, and his body an inch apart in my naked one was giving me chills down my spine.My toes curled as I held my breath while gazing at his chiseled jaw… at his lips that leveled my eyes. Why does it look so sultry first thing in the morning?What should I do? What should I do?!!My lips parted when his Adam's apple slowly moved upside down.Now I'm deafened by the sound of my heart, pounding rapidly as if I was chased by his own Adam's apple–My eyes widened when I realized his hand was in my mouth.I kicked his knee. “Your hands!” and exclaimed in disbelief.He-He just u-use that earlier
YSABELLEAs I want the kids to spend time with me, too, I joined them at the kids' play center. There was nobody else inside. There were simply the four of us moving around while chasing the twins running to the pool with slides and balls in the middle of the enormous and extensive room.It must be fun if other children are hanging out around here.As much as I want to join the kids in playing, I just can't. They are already having fun with Ronan.His smile and laugh, which I hadn't seen before, were all over his face. I still am not used to seeing him on this side of Ronan Volkov. “Mommy!!!”Ashley screamed and distracted my thoughts.“Ashley, lower your voice, please.”“Come, come, come.”“I will just watch over here.”How can I smile and laugh with Ronan? I heavily sigh and eat Ashton's leftover snack. I supposedly enjoy my day off with my children, but it seems they like being with their daddy right now. Am I jealous?It's better this way.If we used the law to fight custody…
YSABELLEMy eyes widened as if our lips met for the first time in a while. My heart pounded rapidly as I felt his damp and soft lips on mine. I immediately pushed myself away from him with a trembling grip on his chest, feeling the heat gushing on my face. I can hear the faint laugh of the twins around us while our gaze locks on each other.What had just happened?However, my brows furrowed when the corner of his lips lifted. Amusement was plastered on his ocean-blue eyes.“Don't smile,” I spoke out with gritted teeth.“I'm not.”“Don't laugh.” He raises his two hands in the air, pursing his lips together. “It was an accident. Period!”“I know.” He said and his smile slowly reached his eyes.“Damn it, Ronan! Don't show me that freaking smile of yours!” I harshly threw him the balls and got off the pool with a big stride.Embarrassment filled my whole body.“Are you running away?” He exclaimed with a hint of amusement.Damn him!“Take care of the kids!”I left the kids' play center a
YSABELLEThe harsh heat of Ottawa pierced through my skin as I walked down the stairs from the private plane I rode.The whole ride in my private plane back here, I played four pics and one word games on my phone to relieve my boredom. Or should I say, to distract my mind from remembering Ronan and Candice together in a hotel?They've been running in my head all along since the plane left Vancouver premises. I just don't understand why I am feeling like this.With a sigh, I open my phone. Connor left me tons of messages. He was worried and mad for running away like that from him.This person too is a headache.My phone suddenly rang. It's my father… again.I recalled I was rude the last time I talked with him. He's still my father, after all.“How was it?” He bombarded me as soon as I answered the call.My brows furrowed at his query. “What do you mean?”“The progress of finding the weakness to take down your ex-husband.” His raging tone made me stop my feet.“No–”“Why are you so sl
YSABELLERonan sighs deeply as he still keeps listening to Candice's tantrum in another line for how many seconds before he agrees.It's not like I want to see Candice's face but I just have the courage to piss her off. “I will just drop her first.” He said with a frown before turning the car and changing lanes.I just want to tease Candice. What would she feel if she saw me with Ronan? Does she also feel what I felt when I saw them together before?The rage comes back into my chest.I want to torture and ruin Candice's life but I can't do anything since my father monitors my move. Also, she's clean. There's nothing to use to ruin her life, except being Ronan's mistress.But I can't use that because my children might get involved.Not long after, the car stopped in front of a beauty salon. I scoffed that she always takes care of herself while leaving Jacob in New York with his nannies. Why is Ronan not scolding her about being so selfish?I rolled down the window to get some fresh a
YSABELLE My eyes widened as I realized what Ronan meant. Hearing him talking gibberish makes my heart pound nervously.“Are you nuts? That's my father's subsidiary company.” I hissed.“I know.”I scoffed at how cool he was. “He wouldn't let you.”His lips curved. “Really? Then, it's a challenge for me.”“Ronan!”“What? I will do whatever I want.” He chuckled as if he found this interesting.“Are you going to aggravate my father?”He shrugged, showing no interest. “Nothing is different, I already had him fuming.”I firmly shut my eyes in frustration. He should know when and how to avoid the disaster.“You'll make things more complicated.”His smile widened as we arrived at my place without me realizing it.“Just like what I said…” I sucked in my breath as he leaned closer. “I'll do whatever I want as long as I get closer to you.” He whispered softly.His enticing eyes have drawn me in again. But I avoided his eyes before my heart went wild again.“You're crazy,” I whispered.“Crazy fo
YSABELLE Adrenaline rushed through me and sprinted to Ronan with my heart thrumming inside my chest when I saw the car start to move backward. I immediately turned off the engine and shot a glare at Ronan, who just chuckled in his seat, unbothered at the future accident. I slapped his face lightly. “You're drunk, and yet, you plan to drive home?” I said with gritted teeth.He almost crashed into the car behind.“I'm not drunk.”I glared at him with full intent. “That's what drunk people always say.”I pushed him to the passenger seat. He didn't say anything and just moved over, groaning as his head accidentally hit the window.Served him right!I looked around, hoping to find someone reliable that could help this jerk to take him to his place.“Where the hell is your bodyguard or driver?” I asked.But as expected, I didn't receive a proper response from an intoxicated man.I buttoned the coat I had which was owned by Ronan as the cold st
RONANI felt a warm palm, impatiently tapping my cheeks. As soon as her scent reached my nostrils, I internally smiled that it was no other than Belle.“Wake up.” I can sense irritation in her tone. She tapped my cheek again, but this time, it was a slight slap. “Ronan, wake up.”I moaned as I caught her wrist and pulled her to me. “Do you miss me already?”As I open my eyes, her gorgeous argentine widens as I hear her heart beating, rapidly and deafening.She abruptly pushed me when a smile crept into my mouth.“Shut up. Look at this.” She showed me the documents but my smile faded to see the documents I made about Connor and Candice. Damn it. I forgot to take it out yesterday.“What is this? Are you keeping an eye on them? Why?” I scratched my neck at the pressure she was giving me.I don't know why I'm hesitant to tell her. Maybe her feelings towards Connor might tarnish if I open this up or she won't believe me and accuse me of ruining Connor's reputation. “Tell me.” She repeat
