Around 9 p.m., Alex entered into Isabella's bedroom. He had a spare key made after she forced him to break the door the other day. He decided not to act babaric and gently go inside by using the keys.Even when he knew that she didn't want to see him, Alex went to meet her regardless. Isabella was already asleep, Alex brought food for her. She hadn't eaten anything since.He sat down near her on the bed and he pulled open the duvet from her body. To his surprise, the person on the bed wasn't Isabella. There was no one on the bed unless a huge patch of clothes and pillows.He had been tricked by that little woman! Alex jerked up from the bed. He couldn't believe that she still had it in mind to escape even after he begged.Alex rushed out of the room, he immediately made phone calls and asked the estate securities to look out for her. By the time he reached downstairs, he saw Isabella entering inside the living room.She seemed to be coming from outside the mansion. Alex couldn't contr
Isabella arrived at the office with a cup of coffee and two doughnuts, enough to Sustain her for the day. She took her seat on her chair, ignoring the mess made on her desk.Isabella turned to the drawer at the corner and she brought out the mobile phone she had put in video mode to record everything that happened while she was away.When she watched the video, Isabella saw that it was Dahlia who attacked her table as expected. She smiled, Dahlia was so gullible and easy to read.Isabella was always ahead of her so she came prepared. Isabella checked the files which Dahlia had destroyed. She went through them and she smiled.They were nothing but unimportant old files which she had purposely kept there to lure Dahlia into revealing her true self. Isabella leaned down and opened the lower drawer, bringing out the original papers Dahlia was meant to destroy.Afterwards, she heads out to submit them in the management office. Since Alex wasn't around, she was supposed to submit them to hi
Alex stared at the fragile woman on the bed as he returned from getting the first aid kit to attend to her wounds.Isabella didn't speak a word to him since he arrived from the office. She didn't expect to see him, she was pleased but at the same time having mixed feelings. This wasn't the first time that he'd come and save her.Alex took his seat near her, he cupped her face in his palms and rubbed it gently. "Are you alright?" He asked her, she smiled as she shrugged her shoulders. Isabella didn't know the words to respond to him.She was aching all over but dared not say a word to him about it. She had seen how cruel Alex could be with anyone who hurt her and she wouldn't want the blood of those bodyguards to be on her hands."Isabella, talk to me. I hate it when you keep mute" Alex stated.It took Isabella a few seconds before she could speak. It was then Alex noticed that she had been slapped by those men. The tiny bruise on her delicate face wasn't visible to him until that time
Isabella and Alex could be seen having dinner in the evening, not long after they began eating, Alex got a phone call, he peaked at the caller ID and when he saw that it was Alicia, he didn't pick it up.He ignored and continued to eat his meal with the beautiful woman sitting in front of him. Isabella noticed his attitude and then she asked. "Why aren't you taking your calls?" "Because it's no one important so do not worry" Alex picked the phone and turned it off then resumed eating with Isabella. He noticed that she was distracted, so he asked her. "What's the problem? Do you have something to tell me?" Isabella nodded quickly. "Yes, Alex. I do have something to say. I'm not sure how to put it" "Just say it, you know I can't say no to you unless it involves you leaving me. I'll keep saying no to that because you're mine" he stated coldly. His words sent chills down Isabella's spine. She was his and only his. It meant that she would never have her liberty from him.She pretende
The next morning,Isabella left for work very early, even when there was barely anything for her to do at the office, she just wanted to leave the house. She couldn't stand staying in the same house with Alicia.Last night, she heard from the maids that Alexander allowed Alicia to move into the mansion with them. Isabella wasn't happy about it but she didn't want to cause them any trouble.She knew how malicious Alicia could be and she didn't want to get to face her so sh decided to leave at a time when no one would see her.When she got to the office, Isabella had breakfast. She ate chocolate flavored bread and coffee. The day was still very early and there was barely anybody in the company, only the cleaners.Isabella thought about moving out of Alex's mansion for a while. She couldn't stand living with a man who hasn't gotten over his ex girlfriend moreover being with him.Isabella felt disturbed by it, it made her feel like she snatched Alex from Catalina. As long as Alicia, who w
Isabella was done with work for the day and she got prepared to leave. After arranging her table and turning off her computer, Isabella grabbed her purse and left.It was about 7:30 p.m. when she left the office to get a cab outside. The day had just started to get dark, Isabella waited for a few minutes and didn't get a taxi so she began to walk forward, hoping to get a taxi at the front.Isabella soon noticed a car pull aside and stopping near her, she looked at the car and already realized whom it belonged to.Only Alexander Hunt had this kind of customized car in the whole of the city."Get in," Alex instructed her. Isabella leaned properly so she could see him.Beside Alex, was Alicia sitting on the front seat with him. She was dressed in a short gown with her legs spread out seductively.Although Alex didn't look at her, Isabella felt uncomfortable getting in to ride with them. "It's fine, I'll just take a taxi." Isabella explained and she continued to walk.Alex wouldn't take n
Later at night, Alex came with dinner for Isabella. Immediately he opened the door, he sighted the woman who wrapped herself on the bed with the duvet. He could still hear her sobbing.Alex went to her and he gently dropped the food on the desk beside her. He also took his seat. Isabella noticed all the movement happening around her but she ignored them."I brought you dinner. You must've had a long day at work today, Bella" Alex said, touching her back but she immediately jerked up and pushed him away."Stay away from me, Alex! Go away please! I do not want to see you, get out of this room now" Isabella yelled at him.Alex tried to get her to eat dinner, he carried the tray and placed it on his legs and was about to feed her. Isabella stared at the delicious plate of dumplings and soup which were a part of her favorite foods, however, at that moment, nothing interested her. She just didn't want to see Alex or be around him. Isabella was forced to despise Alec because of the way he a
Isabella craved for him, she wanted to feel his touch on her skin and have him– but the grudge she held in her heart wouldn't let her. How could she forget so quickly that she was nothing but a replacement? Or, she was never a replacement and just a pawn being used by Alex to satisfy himself while he thought about his ex. This made Isabella quickly come to her senses and she pushed Alex away from her.Alex tried to speak but Isabella acted fast and slapped him hard on his face. She turned immediately and left. Entering her room, Isabella was so furious at him. Although she enjoyed the kiss, she couldn't just forget everything. It made her realize how simple she was for him to come to whenever he needed her.She wanted to show him that she wasn't just a mere game to him or even his cousin, Adams. She had to step up with her games if she wanted to survive.Isabella stood facing the huge mirror in the room, she looked at herself with disdain for the woman she had become. After being u
