Scorching Desires Chapter 25
Isabelle's forehead throbbed, dizzying her momentarily as she bent to put on her trousers. She had to support herself on the dresser for the wave of nausea to pass. The trouser suit she wore the previous day had been neatly placed on the guestroom bed, including her pants. She wondered whether Christian had something to do with that. The thought, however, only brought a new set of moisture in her eyes.Isabelle's stomach rumbled, reminding her that she had missed breakfast. She couldn't care less about her tousled hair or swollen eyes. She finally managed to pull herself together and stood upright, though shakily. Isabelle decided to take a taxi and go give her patient a piece of her mind. She was a grown woman for goodness' sake. She didn't want to crumple under his treatment. She wasn't about to let him use her the way he pleased."I am not a whore." She whispered, raised her chin high, and exited, heading for the front door. She needed to get out of the place. She couldn't stand t

"What were you looking to achieve by lying to me?" Christian sneered, ignoring his pounding head. Isabelle stood there with her emotions rattled. It was like she was living that evening again, only now it was with Christian. She could detect the judgement dripping in his timbred voice with every loud word he spat. She took another step, but her legs wobbled, making her bend to let the wave of nausea pass."Fucking talk you bitch!" He banged on the door, the sound resonating in the hallway leading to the living room. Sean felt as if he was invading a private conversation, but he couldn't leave his friend in such a state. He observed Isabelle, her stare pinned on the photographs without wavering. He could tell she was completely shaken. Maybe there was something more to it than what they actually concluded with Christian.Christian pinched the bridge of his nose when Isabelle kept her lips in a thin line. "You coerced me into having unprotected sex with you, so that you could pin the pr

"Where did you get them?" Isabelle's voice was pinched and nasal; the words were forced out of her dry voice box and blocked nose. Her eyes remained fixed on the streets of Weston City as people went about their normal businesses. Her mind, on the other hand, was nowhere near there.It had resumed functioning after stuttering and pausing back at Christians' place."What? " Sean looked at her briefly, her red-puffed eyes, chapped lips, and tangled hair making his stomach tighten. He blamed himself for her panic attack. If only he hadn't invaded her privacy and her apartment. Looking at her as she struggled to keep more tears from flowing had him wish he could take time back. Isabelle chuckled, closing her eyes briefly. Sean was getting on her nerves by pretending he didn't know what she was talking about. "Someone broke into my apartment and went through my things. The photos were taken and somehow they landed in Christian's hands? " That was the most Isabelle had said since they left

"I need to be left alone." Isabelle could feel a living force that crept over her, immobilizing her brain. She needed to think, to get her mind to work properly again. The only thing that remained constant was the name of her cousin that was right at the tip of her tongue. Even when she closed her eyes, his smug expression continued to flash before her."I am not leaving you here, Christian will meet us at the office. Come on. " Sean made a move to pull Isabelle, but she slapped his hand away. Her stubbornness in such a vital moment made Sean pinch the bridge of his nose. He was beginning to see why his friend couldn't stay away from her. Isabelle scoffed, the action turning into a series of loud coughs. "I said I want to be alone." She turned, her ass still seated on the rug that covered the floor. "Someone broke in by the looks of the things. What do you think would have happened had you been here when it happened?" Sean held back the urge to put his hands on her shoulders and sha

"How fucking dare you? " Christians' voice became thunderous, resonating throughout the entire office. Sean stood up, finding himself in the middle of their issues again. Only that time, he wouldn't allow his friend to make the biggest mistake of his life. "Someone broke into Isabelle's apartment while you were dragging her to the club. Someone left those fucking photos, with the note taped to one of them. Can't you fucking see it Christian Black? Isabelle might be in danger! " Sean felt something scorching hot rising in his chest. Indescribable, the need to protect Isabelle that he couldn't get rid of no matter how hard he tried. It was as if Isabelle and him had already developed a connection that he couldn't sever.Christian ran his thumb and index finger on either side of his chin, staring at a spot on the glass wall. "Is that what she told you? " He chuckled bitterly, turning to face his friend, who had blood boiling in his veins. "This is all her doing, her plan to get her cla

"I fucked up big time. " Christian turned on Sean's swivel chair, tapping his blue pen on the desk."I told you, you would regret it. " Sean smirked victoriously, left clicking his mouse. He was going through the project as asked, and all he could see were holes and unexplainable measurements. Isabelle was soundly sleeping in Christian's room adjoining his office, or so they thought."Come take a look. " Sean's work mode was back, so they decided to finish up while they tasked one of their employees to look into Sam. Christian couldn't wait to lay his hands on the man who couldn't keep his prick off Isabelle. He was determined to get to the bottom of the photos, and so was Sean. "What am I looking at? " Christian placed his palms on the computer desk, as Sean began explaining."The security blueprint of the project the Digi company proposed. " Sean zoomed in, chuckling when Christian shook his head. The guy wasn't used to dealing with anything complex concerning computers or the net.

"That's not up for debate, Isabelle." Christian tilted his hand to look at the time on his wrist watch as he waited for the elevator to open. Isabelle was right behind him, insisting that she would be okay at her apartment."Sean had the lock replaced; I will be okay. I mean, I have been sleeping there for a week now, and nothing has happened." She spoke nonchalantly, boarding the private elevator in Christian's office building. She still couldn't believe that the man owned the company and a couple of others.Christian put his briefcase on the lift floor, and turned to Isabelle just as the doors closed. "You have been lying to me for five days straight that you have been sleeping in a hotel, Isabelle. Sam is still out there, and I cannot risk him getting to you.The man spoke with finality, his eyes dropping to Isabelle's chest. The woman had on a pink blouse with a couple of buttons undone. The upper part revealed a tempting cleavage that had Christian swallowing thickly. He had spen

"This is a place of work not a brothel. " The silver haired man spat, fixating his penetrating blue eyes on Isabelle. He spotted a Balbo pepper beard that brought out his sharp jawline. A nice grey suit accentuated his tall figure, the coat sitting nicely on broad shoulders. Isabelle's eyes widening at the striking semblance between Christian and his father."This is my office. " Christian responded in an equally cold voice, not enjoying his father's stare on Isabelle. "Get out. "Mr. Williams ordered, referring at the door with a slight tilt of his head. Isabelle didn't move, she couldn't even if she wanted. She was glued to the chair, observing the odd scene between a father and a son."She is not going anywhere, I suggest you state your business and leave. " Christian pocketed, widening his stance, not moving from the spot he stood beside an oddly quiet Isabelle.Mr. Williams, turned his attention to his son, chuckling in a bitter manner. " You are not picking my calls. ""Then may
