Isabella's POVAfter the discussion I had with Lisa in the living, I was left speechless. I didn't know Lisa had such a terrible past and I might have wondered why she was exceptionally sweet towards me.She said she saw her young self in me and that almost broke me to tears.We were silent for a while until she broke the silence saying she was fine and all better now. She said I didn't need to feel sorry for her anymore because she had gone past it.That's reliving, she's healed now I guess. I hugged her and She smiled at me and left. I stood up too and went to my room.I wasn't comfortable in the room, it was hot and very uncomfortable. I was also bored to my bones. I decided to go into the study since Nate wasn't home and it was pretty still early for him to return home for work.I went up to the study room and went inside. I did not know much about books but seeing them all well arranged and properly organised by genres and alphabetical order was nice to behold.I didn't know wh
Isabella's POVI stepped far away from Nate trying to phantom what just happened, how I got myself in that situation and how to get out of it.I tried to keep a steady composure. All the while Nate's eyes were on me but I care less.I just wanted to leave there at that moment. We said nothing to each other. The knock came again, even louder this time, then Nate eventually answered.He went to the door then he blocked the other person from coming in or seeing inside. I smiled at the consideration as he thought of me when he did this.It was Damien who was at the door and the way he was speaking to Nate it seemed as though the matter was urgent.I heard him say they should go outside the house to discuss the issue. I was sure he did this for me to have space to leave the study without being seen.I left the study after a few minutes, I opened the door gently so it didn't make any sound then tiptoed to my room.I was glad I made it to my room without being caught by anyone.Nate's POVAs
Isabella's POV As Nate stepped into the kitchen, the atmosphere became thick.You could sense that everyone was tensed to their bones.He spoke up and said to the women that I wasn’t there or probably he couldn't see me, he referred to them alone, especially to Lisa, as she is the oldest amongst them.He said he will be going out with the guys and they won't be coming home until they've resolved some issues they are facing presently.So he wants her to take charge of the house affairs and she should make sure to not miss any time to feed everyone they usually do.He left as soon as Lisa told him that she would do everything according to how it's always been done.We all took a deep breath as he stepped out of the kitchen.The women have themselves some kind of worried and concerned look and you could tell there were some unspoken words under those looks.It seem may as though this isn't the first time something like this is happening and they know the gravity or the length at which t
Nate's POVWho is that person that wants to mess with me and my work? I said faceing DanThen he answered me and said the person is Mr Levi, he is my competitor.Mr Levi, that name I don't know but he is also about to find out the kind of person I am.By the time I'm done with him, he will know not to try me ever again.Get me all the information I need to know about Levi. Also, the most important part is that I want to know where is hide out is.I'll attack his camp and deal with him and his guys.The rage I feel can't be quantified and I was ready to crush everyone who stands in my way.I'll make sure that he pays dearly for everything he has done.Isabella's POV The silent mood continued in the house even after Nate had gone for a while.I went to my room and stayed there instead.I remembered I was reading a book in the study and I wanted to go to the study to continue the book I started, so I stood up to leave.As I was going, I remembered what happened earlier between me and N
Mike's POVI have been trying to get the person who dropped a voicemail for me and told me to reach out to them when I get it. How come now I'm the own looking for them?I'm all worried and worked up about Isabella's whereabouts or disappearance, and then this person who proposed work to me isn't reachable all of a sudden.The private investigator has yet to give me promising news concerning Isabella.Also, my father is on my neck about work and me not tarnishing his name.Everything is pissing me off even.I decided to go out with my guys, we met up at our favourite bar place to have some drinks.We stayed there for a while before we headed back to our respective homes. I was drunk and I didn't know what I was doing.I got to the door and started banging it, calling out Isabella's name loudly. I did this for a while before I remembered that she wasn't with me anymore, I treated her badly and she left.I laughed at my pathetic self. I can't believe this is me.Isabella's POVLisa got
Nate's POVWe got ourselves ready for the fight tonight.Every one of us was armed with different guns and knives, time to invade Levi's camp.We waited till it was late, In the dark of the night we headed towards Levi's camp.Since we got information about their camp, we were able to gather our best operatives and launch a daring attack. Under the cover of darkness, we infiltrated their camp, engaging in a fierce gunfight and showcasing our expert combat skills. With each passing moment, the tension rose as the opposite party started to aim at us too.Even at that, since we have been able to infiltrate their camp we had a better edge over them.The intensity of the fight was deep as we aimed to finish their line With our skilled hitmen, As the chaos continued, bullets flew, and alliances were tested.The fight went on for a while and I was able to catch Levi, the perpetrator of all the troubles in my camp.I wasn't going to make it easy for him, I would torture the life out of him t
Isabella's POVAs soon as I woke up from the dream, I was really scared and I tried to calm myself down.In the dream I saw that I had gone back to Mike and life has become a living hell for me again. He was still maltreating me, raining insults on me and also belittling me in the presence of everybody.The dream scared me so bad I thought he was back to make me suffer again.I was so happy as I realised that it was a dream, I felt very relaxed and calm. I got up from the bed and freshened up before I went downstairs. I headed downstairs after I was done bathing and dressing, it was still pretty early. I also didn't expect that Nate and his guys would have been back already so I carried on with my work.I went upstairs to start up my cleaning, not noticing anything but only just concentrating on my work. As I was sweeping outside Nate's room by the passage, his room door opened and that scared the life out of me.I didn't know he was back so I never expected the bedroom door to pop o
Isabella's POVI took to my heels and went straight into the kitchen. Staying in the same place as Nate is a bad idea. I don't think I can be in the same place as him for now.Me wanting to see him would have to wait. I will see him when I feel I can handle all the heat oozing out from him.Nate is seriously messing with my mind and I can't take it anymore. How can he have so much effect on my body without even too much or anything to me?The coast was clear in the kitchen and I was so pleased with this. It gave me enough space for me to gather my thoughts, and I was able to calm down and shake off a little bit of Nate's effect on my body.As soon as I felt better, I returned to cleaning, but this time I didn't go out of the kitchen, I started cleaning the kitchen instead.I need to save my head from trouble as much as I can.I cleaned the kitchen, tidied everything and I also laid out everything to be used by Lisa from this morning's cooking out. I was able to do this because they h
