Author's point of view The doctor moved over to where Isabelle was to check on her if she was okay. As the doctor got in Isabelle turned to look at him. “Doctor Williams.” She said with a smile on her face. “Mrs Isabelle, how are you feeling?” He said and sat on the chair next to her bed. “I'm much better now, thank you.” She said and the doctor nodded. “I'm glad to hear that.” He answered. “Raphael told me that Dominic who was my boss is dead, he died at that very spot.” She said to the doctor, she sounded broken, she felt so sad but she didn't know why. For someone she thinks she barely know, she felt broken. “We shouldn't conclude that he is dead, because his body was taken away by an unknown person.” The doctor said to her. “He was taken away?

Author's point of view Rita was so surprised when she finally remembered that Raphael's face looked familiar because she once saw him the day she visited Isabelle at her house. “How come I never knew, so Mr Dominic and Isabelle's husband are both cousins? Wow!” She was so shocked.“Yes they are, I was as surprised as you when I found out, I thought you knew about it as well.” The doctor said,“I'm just finding out now, doctor Williams, I never knew,” Rita answered. “Well, speaking of the company, how are things over there? It must be quite hard since Mr Dominic's absence.” The doctor said and Rita's eyes widened. “Quite hard, is an understatement, doctor Williams, it has been hell since Mr Dominic's absence,” Rita complained. “I know it would be, I just hope that company doesn't fold because it is in the wrong hands.” The doctor added and Rita agreed with him. “It's indeed in the wrong hands, Mr. Raphael doesn't care if the company runs dry or not as long as it fetches him the m

ISABELLA’S POVMy eyes fluttered awake and yet,the first thing that greeted me wasn’t the rays from the sun that pierced from the curtains or the headache, it was the fact that Raphael was not on the other side of the bed with me.I tried to sit up and I winced In pain as the event of what happened last night came flooding my memories immediately.A smile crept on my face as my eyes roamed the room to see the remains of my lingerie scattered across the room in bits.But where was my groom?With so much excitement and hope that maybe we could go for another round since I passed out early this morning, I looked for my phone and dialed the only person that mattered to me.He picked on the second ring and he sounded exhausted.“ Hi, Mr drake” I said, as seductively as I could.“ where are you?” I asked.I could hear him sigh and then take a deep breath.“ I’m sorry my love, I’m so sorry” he said, sounding very regretful.“ You didn’t wait for me to wake up, where are you?” I said, trying t
ISABELLE’S POVI woke up with the mindset of trying to talk things with Raphael but when I met the empty coldness of the bed, my heart broke.I climbed out of the bed, attempting to find him in the showers or something but after a few minutes, I realized that Raphael was no where around the house.There was no note, there was no notification, he was just gone.“ Ma’am , Mr drake stepped out for work, he said he had an important meeting he had to attend” one of the maids said to me as I stood in the middle of the living room, looking lost.I couldn’t stop myself from frowning when the words left her mouth.He couldn’t wake me up to tell me he was leaving for work?At the same time that I was offended, I was worried. Did I do something so unforgivable that he couldn’t and wouldn’t sit with me to talk to me?

ISABELLA’S POV“And that concludes our meeting, everyone! Good night and take care” Dominic's voice echoed and people began to stand up and leave.“ Isabella,” he suddenly called out and I sighed.This was a day like any new day in my life. Ever since I got the unforeseen promotion, there has not been a time when I wasn’t called behind.I already knew the drill and I knew I would be spending at least an hour with him again in his office, working overtime.“ I am so sorry to make you wait for yet another Friday night but I need these files sorted out and I need your help and it can’t wait” he said it so urgently, like he always did and I believed him like I always did.He took us back to his office as he brought out a mountain of files that we were expected to work on.He rolled up his sleeves and removed his tie. I averted my face as he started to unbutton a few buttons on his shirt and I heard him chuckle.I didn’t bother to ask him what his chuckling meant, it didn’t matter and aski
ISABELLA’SPOVI took Raphael to a nearby chair while I took one for myself, for a minute I got the inkling feeling that what he was about to say had the power to shake my being.I handed him a glass of water which he gulped down in a flash. “ So tell me, what is the problem?”I asked him and he calmed down enough to sigh.“ The night at that hotel, do you remember?” he asked and I nodded my head.“ I told you to go to the room because I didn’t want you finding out” he said and I frowned.“ Find out that you cheated?” I asked and he shook his head.“ I can swear that I have never cheated and that I am not planning on doing so” he said to me and I frowned.He sighed.“ I asked you to go to the room because I needed to get pills” he said ad I frowned.“ what do mean?” I asked him.He kept me quiet and anger started to replace the sorrow that I felt I was sharing with him in this moment.“ You have been rejecting me since our wedding night and you won’t even tell me what is going on?

After that night it felt like I was drawn to her. I need to know her more, I want to know her, I want her to myself. While I was at the office, going through some important files, some drastic errors on the file. A frown was suddenly evident on my face. "How can they be so irresponsible and so careless!"

It looked like she was trying to put words together as she spoke. "I will bring that employee right now." She said and quickly left even witho
