Isabella's POVAs I went back to the kitchen, I saw that Lisa and Christabel were already done with the food packing and they were waiting for me.Lisa asked me hurriedly, how's Anna doing?Is she fine? Did she finish her food?Her reaction and questions helped me to lighten up my mood and that was good.So I just answered her, yes, Anna's fine.She's doing very well.When I got to her room I found that she was already up, she had had a brush and had her bath.She just lay in her bed.I then gave her the food which she ate well and she took her medication after a little rest from eating and that's all.Oh thank God, that's good. This means she's all better now compared to how she was yesterday, Lisa said.Then I answered her, of course, she was so much better than yesterday, she even confirmed it herself.She said she felt better than she felt yesterday and her body temperature had dropped back to normal. She even asked about you, so I told her you were prepping for the general food t
Isabella's POV I went out of the kitchen and then headed towards the dining area where Nate was.My heart was beating so fast like I'd committed the world's most unforgivable crime.When I got to the dining area, I met Nate already seated in his seat.He raised his head as I approached him and his eyes met with mine.He then asked me where Lisa was, then I told him that she had gone to share food and…He cut me off while I was still talking.Okay… what about the other women? He asked again.I was going to answer you before you cut me off as I was talking.Well, Christabel went out with Lisa to go and share food while Anna was in her room.He looked at me and said, "What do you mean she's inside her room?" He snapped.Oh …I'm sorry I didn't mean it like that, it's not like she's just in her room but she fell ill yesterday.What's wrong with her? he said.I answered him saying it seemed as though it was a fever.Then he said again that he was going to check on her after he was done eat

Nate's POV My day began messy after what transpired between I and Isabella. I was cranky all day. My day was also very busy and work-filled. After leaving the house this morning, I received a call from Mike and he said he has been trying to reach me for some time now. He said he got my voicemail which said to call the number as soon as he got it. I apologise for going MIA. I told him I had some other work to do outside of town so that's why I wasn't available. He then told me to set a meeting for us to meet because wanted to know who I was and what business I had in mind for him which I spoke about in
Nate's POVAs Jane left my office, I just rested my back on my chair and took a deep breath as I stared at the ceiling.I did this for a couple of minutes before I stabilised myself and got to work.I began to work on the documents. I read through them and gave my signatures in the spaces that needed to sign.This ran for about an hour. During this time, Jane has sent me mail containing all my schedules for the next few days.I checked what I had to do for today and it was already 11:30 am.She arranged a meeting for me for 12:30, which meant I had about an hour to get ready for my meeting.I reviewed the client's work I was going to see in an hour, then I did a little bit of a draft of what I had in mind to give them. As it was about 15 minutes to the time, Jane buzzed me.She called me on the office telephone, she told me that the client's secretary reached out to her to inform them that they were on their way.I hung up after we spoke, I headed to the board room and had my seat.In
Isabella's POVWhat just happened now?I think Nate is hellbent on making me fall for him.He keeps doing things to me that make me want to lose my cool.He asked me the same question he asked earlier today in front of his room.He asked me if I didn't want him.If I'm not attracted to him in any way?He then held me by my hand and pulled me closer to him.My body seems to always betray me because it always reacts anytime he touches me.I answered him quickly, I told him I didn't want to have anything to do with him, I told him I have had my fair share of hurt and I don't want it to happen again.His grip on my hand loosened as I told him I didn't want to be with him even though my body said differently, I could tell he was disappointed at my reply.He let me go and I stepped back.He told me he wasn't going to ask me this anymore.I was supposed to be happy at his words because this was what I wanted but I was disappointed.It felt like I wasn't loved enough.I shook off this feeling
Isabella's POVMy reaction made them suspect me but I just played a fast one on them.Well, it was Damien who came in he said he was asked to get some things.He ran upstairs and for about 5 minutes he was there, he came back down with some papers in his hand and a mini bag.He bid us goodbye and he left.It was after he had gone that Lisa and Christabel looked at me and asked if I was okay.I told them I was good, that it was nothing.Christabel then asked, why were you so jumpy when we said I think Nate is here.It's not like I was jumpy because he was he, the reason I jumped was that I didn't want him to meet me like just standing, I just try not to be on his bad book and I don't know what can get him angry so I try to stay away from him as much as I can.Lisa, being a very sensitive person, looked at me so intently.She studied my face, and I made sure I made a very convincing face, it was only then she accepted my explanation.I gave an inner sigh of relief as she felt convinced
Isabella’s POVAs they both made their way to the dining area, curiosity got the best of me.I was begging them to hurry up so that they could serve their food and have a taste of it.They did just that, they took a sit at the table and dished out some portion of food for themselves.Lisa took the first spoon, I was so proud of myself because her face says it all. Everything I needed to know was displayed on her face and she couldn't hide it.Her face showed disbelief as to how my food tasted good and surprised as to how I knew how to cook.Lisa's display of satisfaction with the food encouraged Christabel to also have a taste of the food and it was so clear and certain that she wasn't disappointed at all.They both served themselves more portions of food.As they were eating, it was so thrilling to watch and this confidence and pride sprawled all over my face.You could tell that they were satisfied topping up their food with the fresh chilled juice I made.After eating, they both ha
Isabella's POVIt has been a very lovely day I thought as we all headed downstairs after leaving Anna's room.I went to the kitchen to clean up the plates we had just used to eat, and then Lisa and Christabel packed the food they made earlier so that could go and share it.They left while I cleaned up the kitchen.As I finished I went to my bedroom, it was already nighttime and I could see the weather dropping.My mind shifted to Nate, I wondered what he was up to.It was already night time and he might be home soon.I wanted him to eat the food I made, the thought of him eating my food and enjoying it made me giddy.Nate's POVI had thought to myself not to return home for a couple of days.I told Damien to go home and help me get some of my things and the files I left in my study.I'm trying to train myself from having to think about Isabella all the time and also for me not to always smile or be happy anytime I see her.I decided that not seeing her for a few days would be the tric
