Isabella's POVWe got right into cooking. The whole house was still asleep even though I and Lisa had almost finished cooking.By the time the food was ready, I asked Lisa if she knew what was the reason behind everyone sleeping in this morning.She said she also had no idea.She told me we should both go to everyone's room to check on them.That's fine, replied.We both went out of the kitchen. We headed for Anna's room first. We knocked on her door only to hear her tiny sleepy voice telling us to come.We greeted her, then asked her if she was good.She was still in bed and she had to stretch out and give a loud yawn before she answered us.What time is it? She asked with a confused look.It is way past 9 am and you are still in bed, Lisa said to her.Her eyes widened as she heard what the time was.I slept late last night, I'm so sorry, she said.Don't be, we only came to check if you're good. We will be leaving now to check on Christabel also.Oh! Do you mean she's not out too?Ye

Nate's POV I had been stuck with work all day and I did leave the study room.I kept replying to messages and sending back messages.Jane sent me a reminder in about two hours to remind me of the first site visit.I then called Damien to get ready because we would be leaving the house in about one hour.I wanted to see Isabella a bit for the next one before I left.I was also famished and I needed food.I called Isabella and I asked her to get me something to eat as I was hungry.She came back in no time.She was carrying a plate of potatoes and peppered chicken.I asked her where she got it from and I was expecting her to come with some snacks instead.She said she had prepared it for me and just happened to call her right on time when she was about to come and serve me the food.I was happy and I asked her to join me.She joined me and we ate together.After eating she wanted to leave but I told her I had less than forty-five minutes to spend with her so she shouldn't leave yet.Su

Isabella's POV Thelma came towards me after seeing how dejected I looked.He is gone, right? She asked and I answered her grumpily.oh! I see. Is that why you look so down? Come on girl, don't be such a baby about it. I am very sure you would not want him to miss work. He needs to go to work.He had already promised to also keep in touch with you, she said reassuringly as she patted my back. She made me feel a little better.I then sit up on the bed to look at Thelma.She had not had enough rest since I woke her up this morning.She had only slept for just an hour. She looked exhausted and worn out.Trying to get out of my feelings, I shook off my thoughts of Nate away and I concentrated on Thelma instantly.Oh! Thelma, you look very dull, and your eyes are also heavy. Are you okay?Of course not, I feel so sleepy now. I had not had enough rest and it's making me act like a grumpy old lady when I'm not.I think you should get some sleep then, we will continue with work later. I can

Nate's POV After I ended the call with Isabella, I took a long deep breath before I got down from the car and went into the house.My coming back to this house brought back a lot of memories. Some are memories that I cherish with all of my heart and that I carry everywhere I go. Some are memories that haunted me, the ones that I wanted to forget so badly.Most of my childhood memories held a lot of pain and hurt. I have been heartbroken countless times being a member of this household.I have seen it in movies and also heard of various stories where it was the female child that was detested in her family, especially when the family expected a son both the mother gave birth to a female child.In this case, I was experiencing the worst, as my father expected to have a daughter but I was given birth to, as a son. I can't recall any sweet memory that I had with my father, it has always been war around us.Then my brother was the true definition of the devil himself and he didn't spare

Nate's POV I retired to my room after a short while. The day had been filled with a lot of activities and I was exhausted. The thoughts of Isabella came crashing into my mind. I thought to call her so I checked the time but it was already too late to call her. I'll just make sure to call her early tomorrow morning before my day starts. I gave into the sleep that enveloped me. Morning came too quickly, I struggled out of bed. I reluctantly showered and got dressed. I don't know what today holds for me so I tried to prepare myself mentally. I gave Isabella a call cheering her on for her class commencing. She said she was nervous. I totally understood her as I was nervous also. It happens when you don't know what is about to come your way next, you can only hope for the best. I encouraged her and we talked for a bit before we ended the call. I had promised her that I would call her during the day when I got a chance to call. I also let her know that I was swamped w
