Isabella's POV I stood there In front of him, looking away from him, silence took over the whole room as no one uttered a word. I eventually said something after contemplating for a while. Can you please give me some more time to think about it? I don't want to do something or make a decision I'm not sure of. He was just starting at me, and then, it took him a couple of seconds before he answered All right then, if that's what you want. When will I get an answer then? I don't have too much time to bother about this for long. I hate people wasting my time so don't make it take too long before you make up your mind. Okay sir, thank you I said but I was still standing there. I was afraid to leave when he hadn't told me to. Yeah! That's all, you may go now. I hesitated a bit. I said go, leave, now. I took to my heels and rushed out of the study. Immediately I came out of the room, I sighed deeply, I didn't even know I held my breath the whole time I was in the room with hi
Nate's POVAfter I told Isabella to leave and she'd left, there was some sort of emptiness and loneliness I felt within my spirit.There's more to this feeling and I'll make sure to know what this is.Not long I heard a knock on the door, and then two of my men entered. Andrew and Damien Boss, we've got news, Damien spoke up,We heard that the contract for the building project is going to be assigned to another company.My guy, Ten, discovered that there was an inside job and there was someone else pulling the strings.He said, he heard them discuss our plans and procedures for the project but they said something like we weren't capable enough to get the job done.Yes boss, Andrew said, they are in the process of calling for a meeting with our opponents and awarding them the contract.When they both stepped in, I knew something was going on, then I was also glad to have a distraction, something to keep me from thoughts of Isabella.But this, this right here I never saw it coming.I w
Nate's POVWhat?Mike who?Mike Lewis, I heard Damien mention the name again.The name sounded very familiar, I must have heard the name somewhere or probably seen it.I tried thinking of where I might have come across the name, I tried remembering it but I couldn't come up with anything.I gave up.Well, what else do we know or need to know about this guy, Mike Lewis?Did you try getting his contact or how we can meet up with him?Damien answered, yes boss, I tried getting his contact but it was to no avail. Well, I spoke to my guy Ten, the one who told me about the contract awarding shift and he said he will help me with it.I'm sure he'll let me know as soon as he gets his hands on it.All right then, let's just wait up for this guy of yours, let me know when he reaches out to you.Yes, boss.Today has been an eventful day for us all.You may leave now.Isabella's POVI got up suddenly, then I realised I'd slept off and I had a terrible dream.I saw Mike in my dream and he was look
Nate's POV.I said I liked her without looking at her.Oh my, did I just say that without thinking?I just told Isabella I liked her to her face.Something must be wrong with me, no, something is wrong with me.Why would I even do that?When I eventually looked at her, I only found her staring at me like she didn't understand a word I said.Huh… you said what?She asked me.I said I like you, Isabella, I like you.I found myself repeating the words to her.What do you mean you like me, you know nothing about me.I'm in a mess already, no, I'm even a mess myself, you can't just add to my trouble, please.I can't handle it, I'm tired, stressed out and frustrated as it is.Before I knew what was happening she was already crying, I was so worried people might hear us and come out of their respective rooms to find me and Isabella in this awkward position.They might think I've done something to her because she was crying so much. Isabella, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel that
Isabella's POVI was there lost, staring at this beautiful sight before me.Irrespective of the scars on his body, he is no doubt a fine man.He has a broad chest and chiselled abs and I must say this is the first time I'm taking a good look at him.His face was well contoured, with well-groomed beards, and a light chocolate skin tone. He is divine.There's absolutely no doubt that God took extra time to create this wonderful masterpiece.I said what are you doing here and how did you even get in?I came back to life from the unholy thoughts I was having as I heard him speak to me.Uhm… the door was not locked and, I only turned the door knob and it opened so I entered.I'm so sorry, I didn't know you were in here, I didn't hear a sound when I came in to clean so I believed no one was in.I was so ashamed of myself to even look at him.I knew he saw me drooling over his body.I said all this in a hurry as I was trying to pack up and leave the room.Nate's POVI was startled when I cam
Isabella's POVWhat do I do now?Nate kept moving towards me, he followed every step I took closing the distance between us.I was so freaking tensed at the closeness.He looked at me intently, then he put his hand on my waist.I felt shocked at the contact of his hands on my body. but under this shocked feeling, l also felt some underlying emotions. If I wouldn't lie to myself, I liked how held me.I wondered how it would be if his hands touched my bare skin.I think he sensed it because you spoke up accusing me of wanting him.I can't be close to this man ever again.He gets me so much as he reads my mind.I told him I didn't want him, then wiggled myself out of his reach and rushed out the door.I made my way to the kitchen, I tried to calm myself down, and I kept a straight face so I wouldn't get questioned by Lisa and the others.I entered the kitchen and Anna came straight to me.They you are. Are you done cleaning the rooms?Uhm rooms?Oh yeah, the rooms, yes, I'm done cleaning
Isabella's POVThe moment they walked passed me I ran back to my room, i felt pressured right there like I would pee on my body.What I just witnessed feared me so much?Who are these people? What do they do? What have I gotten myself into?Various questions just kept popping into my head and I only just answered Nate the night before that I was going to stay here to work for him.Why didn't this happen earlier?I just hope I've not made the wrong decision in my life.I knew I had to go downstairs to start my work but I was scared,l feared for what might happen to me behind this room door.I summoned courage, put on a bold face and made my way downstairs to the kitchen.I entered the kitchen, I met the women in there and I greeted them.They replied to me but I could sense something wasn't right. The reply was dry, it was without humour.Everywhere was cold, is everything okay? I asked.Lisa then cautioned me to keep quiet, now this isn't funny anymore. What in the world is going on?
Mike's POVI have been getting calls repeatedly from unknown numbers, my friends also to me the news of some men taking Isabella.The work I went for was very important and it involved my father. I couldn't let him down.I have been living a low-profile life for some time now. I love to keep it that way, I don't want anyone to link with my father Mr. Sam Lewis, all-time political Godfather, with me.I've had issues with my father severally saying I tarnish his name and image in society with my wayward lifestyle.This has made me keep a low profile so the media cannot get anything against me to call my father's name out.After I got the call from my friends about Isabella, I was very worried sick and disturbed by my bones.I found it hard to concentrate on work…then the calls I was getting from unrecognised numbers added to my worry.I came back to town and I've been on the lookout for Isabella but I've not been able to get information about her whereabouts.I was yet to reply to misse
