Scorching Desires Chapter 44
Isabelle walked into the hospital with Christian's file in her hand. Mr. Stanton had asked to look at the reports on her patient, Christian. So far, nothing about his oxygen levels, heartbeat, or pressure seemed to have a problem. When she walked into his office, Mr. Stanton was on a call. Isabelle almost shivered from his scrutiny, his burning gaze on her body getting on her wick. With a gesture of his hand, he asked her to sit on the opposite chair from his."Isabelle." He saluted, standing up from his spot behind his desk after he ended the phone call."Mr. Stanton." She nodded, placing the file on his desk. "Here's every report you asked for." She pushed it towards his side, but the man didn't even spare it a glance; his eyes roamed around Isabelle's glowing face. The man then dropped his eyes on her lips; goddess, he had missed staring at the pink flesh as she spoke. He ventured down; her boobs seemed to be stretching the material of her blouse."You are really beautiful." The ma

Isabelle blinked back tears as realization finally settled in. Problems seemed to be pouring from every corner, surrounding her unforgivingly. Isabelle stood in Sean's guest room bathroom in front of the oval wall-mounted mirror above the sink. The only thing she could see in her reflection were her dead eyes. There was no spark, no joy, and no hope. All she could ask herself was whether she would manage to live another minute. She splashed cold water on her face and exited without bothering to dry off. Isabelle had been stripped of her own choices and decisions. Sam, Dylan, and Tiffany; an unplanned pregnancy; Christian drama; and Mr. Stanton. She spoke them aloud, dragging herself towards her bed. It had been a few hours since her return from the hospital, but she had no idea what time it was."You don't look okay." Sean's voice pulled her back into reality. He was casually leaning on the entrance door with his hands deep in his pockets. When he came back from work and called for h

"How was your meeting with Mr. Stanton?" Christian asked when a fire began to crackle between them. Isabelle tensed, her hand freezing around the fork right in front of her parted mouth. Christian observed the quick change, furrowing his eyebrows."I don't like that man." He added. Isabelle blinked, trying to keep her face blank. The last thing she wanted was to involve Christian in her problem with her manager. She had agreed to go out with him to forget for a minute about the whole ordeal with Stanton. She wasn't a fool, Isabelle knew that the man was blackmailing her.She chuckled forcefully, trying to rid herself of the tension that gripped her. "This is really good." She hummed, finally taking another bite of the Kenyan meal. The sweet aroma, the interesting flavor that she hadn't experienced before, Isabelle couldn't control her moans. Christian caught on it though; she was avoiding speaking about her meeting with Stanton."I'm glad you like it." He decided to leave it first, la

"There, there." Sean soothed, rubbing Isabelle's cold back while he kept his glare on Christian across the street. His friend had promised to make things right with Isabelle and not hurt her. Yet there she was, buried in his chest, with her shoulders shaking as she wet his shirt with her tears. Christian's eyes didn't move even as cars and people blocked his line of sight every few seconds. He couldn't take it anymore, and with a pang in the deepest part of his chest, Christian crossed over. Sean was tempted to usher Isabelle into his car and drive off before Christian reached them. But one look at his friend, with his slumped shoulders and slightly hung head, he knew there had been a misunderstanding."She's a friend." Christian blurted when he finally stood behind the two. Isabelle tensed in Sean's arms when she heard his voice. "I swear I had no intention of hurting you."Christian breathed, a hint of desperation detectable in his deep voice. "You know being in the streets like th

Isabelle and Christian could feel their shared breath as they fumbled to get off their clothes. They stumbled into Christian's condo straight from the elevator with their lips locked. They couldn't even remember saying goodbye to Sean when he dropped them off. Their surroundings ceased to exist as they got lost in each other."I missed this." Christian pulled back from the kiss to whisper against Isabelle's neck. His voice, deep and sensual, caressed her skin; the warmth of his breath compelled her to snake her hands around his neck. She tiptoed again, time stopping when their lips met again. Christian's hand on her hip tightened as he tasted her, pushing his tongue incessantly between her parted lips."Gosh, I missed you too." Isabelle replied breathlessly, pushing her dress downwards past her thighs, until she was left in her pink panties. Christian's shirt was already open; he just pushed it off his shoulders. "Fuck." Christian sneaked a guilty peek at Isabelle's flushed face as h

Isabelle blinked once, then twice, before the words sink into her blank mind. Her lungs burned, a reminder that she needed to breathe in. Then she did, searching for any type of uncertainty and jokes on Christian's facial expression. The man held his breath, crossing his fingers as he awaited Isabelle's response. He resisted the urge to tap his feet on the floor."Yes." It was a single answer, but that three-letter word had Christian's mouth opening without any utterance."Yes, I will be your girlfriend." Isabelle added in a sweet smile, her eyes dropping to his front. His cock was still out, semi-hard, between them. Christian lifted Isabelle in a hearty laugh, twirling her around with a satisfying warmth in his heart. He had finally taken a step in his life, burying his fears about having a woman in his life."Thank you, thank you, thank you, babe." He laughed in between, pulling her into a warm embrace. There were so many factors to consider, but Isabelle didn't think they were enou

"Good morning, sir." Sarah saluted with a forced smile, following Christian inside his office with two files in her hands. He ignored her, sitting without sparing her a glance. His investigations into her were still ongoing. Sean and him had uncovered her meetings with his father even though they were married. He almost pitied his estranged mother because of what his father was doing behind her back."These are the files Sean asked me to..." He raised his hand to stop her from assaulting his ears further."Leave that tag around your neck on your desk and the access card on your way out." He stated coldly, opening the first file. "What?" Sarah squinted her eyes, not seeming to apprehend his words."In other words, Sarah, or should I call you mother?" His upper lip stretched into a knowing smirk when her eyes widened. "I know everything about you." He proudly stated, leaning on his comfortable chair with a smug look."L-look..." Sarah fumbled with words, her heart racing. She had been

"How far along are you with uncovering what happened the night Isabelle was framed?" Christian asked Sean as they watched the launch of one of the company's applications online. They were seated in one of the building's boardrooms. "I enlisted a private investigator." Sean paused, unlocking his phone. He had received audio recordings from conversations held between his investigator, Dylan, and Tiffany. "It seems like her ex and best friend know something, but whatever it is, they won't say." "Here, listen to this." Sean played the first of the two recordings after muting the live video they were watching. In the recording, Dylan maintained that Isabelle had gotten super drunk at some point during the party. She had decided to go rest but had come back and called Sam. He said he didn't see her until the next day, in a disoriented state."How can he allow his girlfriend to sleep at his friend's place during a party and leave her there unsupervised?" "What sort of a stupid boyfriend wa
