Nate's POVThey all rushed into the room with Isabella behind them.My friend, the doctor, was also here.I could see the surprise on their faces and I wondered.I didn't know how long I had been unconscious but the expressions they all had on their faces told me that it had been a while.My doctor friend smiled at me and he gave me a welcome cheer.He asked me all sorts of questions like how I was and if I felt any type of way.He was genuinely concerned about me and I was happy about this.He said he said he had to run some more tests on me and watch me for a while before he discharged me.He did his test and examinations on me and he eventually discharged me after a week.Before then Isabella, Damien and Andrew had been visiting me regularly.The day I was discharged, Isabella didn't come.It was only Damien and Andrew who came to help me park and move my things to the main house.I asked about Isabella from them and they had told me that she went to the market so she has been busy
Nate's POV Though it was a single syllable reply I got from Isabella, nonetheless I was excited.I knew she was still young and she was a little bit a novice to the matters of the heart, this for a fact made me think to myself that I wouldn't rush her.I have no intention of scaring her away especially because of her past relationship.I was willing to let everything take place little by little.What I intended was to make my intentions known to her.I wanted her to be aware of my feelings for her and how much I'm willing to go for her to be mine.Isabella has been silent after her reply.I could tell she probably expected me to make moves at her since I got a positive response from her, especially one that I've been eager to get.Even, left to me, I wanted to have her there and then.She was sitting pretty on that chair in my room, looking at her did a lot of things to me that I can't put into words.Her pretty eyes calling me, her plump lips inviting me for a kiss.I wish I could j
Nate's POVThe following morning I had an urgent call from work I needed to attend to.I had hoped I would see Isabella in the morning but I had to leave for work very early.There's been an update concerning the contract I was eyeing that was on its way to someone else's hands.I haven't been able to contact Mike since I have been attacked.I'm sure he has tried reaching out to me but to no avail.I knew I had to contact him and set up a meeting with him as fast as possible.It should have been part of what I did last week but as I was overwhelmed with work it had escaped my mind completely.I got to work, I started doing the necessary checking, access and signing of documents that needed my attention.I was waiting for my assistant to come so she could put a call through to Mike and then set up a meeting for us.I needed everything to be on his terms because I'm sure he must be on the edge especially since we hadn't been in contact for a while.I knew I had to play by his rules for
Nate's POVMy work has been very hectic in the past few days.I have not been able to go home for four days now, so I've been staying at work.I have a fully furnished room space in my office. That is where I have been sleeping and then working from.Though Jane always goes back home late and resumes early.We were all sacrificing a lot to meet up with long pending jobs.I returned home after being away for four days, though I turned in late to the house and everyone was asleep already.Though all through my being away I had kept in touch with Andrew and Damien to know the wellbeing of the house and to ask after Isabella.Even as I was engrossed in deep work, my mind has always been with her.I long to see her, to be with her.I can't even lie about her making me feel different as opposed to what I've felt for other women, “even the late love of my life”.As it was late when I got home, I just went to my room.I knew I had an early morning tomorrow too but I was thinking of waiting ti
Isabella's POVWhat just happened right now?I had not seen Nate in a long time.Did he miss me by any chance that he waited till I woke up to see me?He came to the kitchen to talk to me.He also kissed my forehead sending chills all over my body.I seriously like all this though I'm shocked as he had told me earlier that he wouldn't disturb me.He is actually making it hard for me to reason.My heart calls out his name every time.Not being able to see him all this while he made me miss him so much.I really wanted to be with him all the time.I love how he makes me feel.I smiled at myself as I continued my work.I was glad I had taken my bath earlier so I didn't need to wash out his kiss from my face.Why would one person make another person feel like this?I touched the spot he kissed me on my forehead and I just imagined it being on my lips.It made me remember how it felt to be in the other house where he had kissed me on my lips.I have relieved those wonderful moments over a t
Isabella's POVThe journey back home started and I was happy.Even though the ride was dull for the first half of the journey.I was tired of sitting in silence as I was the only one in the car with Andrew.I broke the long-term silence as I asked Andrew about Damien.I remembered that I didn't see Damien this morning as we were packing.I also noticed that for a few days now he has been scarce and out of sight.So I asked Andrew where Damien was.He didn't say a word at first and I took no meaning to it as he always does this every time.He stole a glance at me as he was driving before he eventually spoke up.Damien is busy, he is into some business right now which has made him not have time for every other thing going on.He has been coming in late and going out early just like Nate.At the mention of the name Nate, I smiled.I liked the fact that I got to hear his name now and then.He went silent again, then I thought there was nothing else to talk about so I surrendered too.Not
Isabella's POVAfter our long hugs and merry, they pulled me inside towards the living room so we could sit.We have a lot of catching up to do, Christabel said.I nodded in approval.I have missed these people so much and it was evident that they also missed me too.Even a blind man could see that clearly.As soon as we sat down in the living room to catch up.It was Lisa who spoke first.She asked me how I had been and how things were in the other place.I have been fine, I answered.Though, from the very beginning I was alone, and scared.It was weird to be around only guys and then to also care for them was another thing, especially with an empty kitchen.I missed you guys so much, I felt lonely and out of place there.I had to beg Andrew to allow me to invite Thelma to come visit me for a while and I convinced him by telling him that there was a lot of work to do in the kitchen and I couldn't do them alone.I also told him that Thelma was hardworking, she was good in the area of
Isabella's POV My mouth was left ajar as I was stunned at what I looking at.I thought for a second if I was in the right room or if I might have probably opened the wrong room.I took a step back, then looked at the corridor, trying to confirm where I was.Am I in the right room, I said with so much concern and worry.It was only then the ladies came out of their hiding by the staircase, then they approached me.Looking at their faces I could tell they knew what was going on.In fact, they have a hand in what happened to my room.I was certain for sure that this was my room so how come it's become like this?Do you all know what happened to my room please, I asked them.No one answered that instant and it was driving me nuts.Please answer me.Was my room changed by any chance?Okay, okay, okayLisa spoke up.Calm down, girl.This is still your room.The thing is we got an instruction to switch up your room for you.Switch up my room.I had absolutely no idea about what she was say
