ISABELLA POVHe dragged me away. I don’t know what made me follow him like a ragged doll. My mind was blank then, and I was already planning on leaving the company before he jumped on me from nowhere.“Alexander!” I hissed.“Shhh!” He said to me, dragging me still.I struggled to keep up with him, but I didn’t have to try for too long. Before I fell flat on my face due to the force he dragged me with, he pinned me against the wall in a dark corner. The dark corner was a thin wall between an office and another, which was risky as hell—especially with the position he put me in. “What are you doing?” I asked as I tried to push him away. “You can’t do this!”“Do what, exactly?” He smiled at me. “Surely, you don’t think we’d get caught this way?”“You can’t keep doing this with me, Alexander. Back in your office, your brother saw us kissing!”Alex scoffed. “He didn’t see anything.”“How would you know that? You didn’t even lock your door.”“Isabella, don’t tell me you’re getting all angry
ISABELLA POVEdward looked at me contemptuously, he had never looked at me this way, his eyes trailed at me as if I were a dirt. This is the worst thing I’d ever imagined.My shorts were thrown somewhere in the room and one of my boobs was hanging outside my top, and then my legs spread wide apart with the vibrator drumming on my clit.His face was red with anger, so red that I immediately felt the same shade of embarrassment and shame waving through me. I moved instinctively; pushing aside the vibrator and grabbing the sheets to cover myself. Edward straightened, his anger seeming to stretch in my awkward moments. The vibrator continued to add to the tense silence until I turned it off.“I can’t believe you’re masturbating with my son’s name on your lips,” Edward said in quiet rage. “Are you imagining him inside you, too?”My face heated up. “No! No, that wasn’t what I was doing!”“That wasn’t what you were doing? Do you think I’m dumb or something? I heard you right from the door!
ISABELLA POVIn the general bathroom that was situated close to the dining room, I watched the video again, and again. Just when I thought the noise was getting too loud, I turned it off. This was crazy. Who would have sent me this? Who was there?Pacing, I tried calculating my thoughts. Who really would have done this? This video was taken exactly when I went to Alexander’s office to confront him. We’d been kissing, and I was loudly slaking him to touch me there. It was all in the video, loud and clear.“Gosh,” I slapped my forehead.“God, Bella, you’ve been so careless!”And I truly was. Several times I promised I wouldn’t be in that situation with Alex again, and all those times the rules failed. Even when Lucas caught us, I still went back to the dark corner with him.“Stupid, stupid, stupid!” I muttered to myself. “You really are stupid!”My phone rang, causing me to jerk in shock. I stilled my breathing and looked at the screen. It was an unknown number, just as an unknown numbe
ISABELLA POVA purring sound from the outside garage indicated that someone was driving in. Hopefully, it wasn’t Edward. The house was empty now and I didn’t want him to see another excuse in pinning me to the bed and having his way with me. That’s just way too much torture I can handle after he heard me calling out Alexander’s name during my masturbating session.When a knock on the door came instead, I knew it wasn’t him or any of the family. Everyone had their own key, and sometimes they’d wriggle the handle to check if it was open first before coming in.“Isabella! Are you home?” Brianna’s voice called from outside. “Damn, I knew I should have texted her before coming. If only she could pick up her darn calls.”Smiling, I pushed my salad plate aside and opened the door. She was just about digging into her purse when I opened the door.“Yes, I’m home.”Brianna rolled her eyes and pushed past me as she entered the house. “Why can’t you pick up your phone when it’s ringing?” she comp
ALEXANDER'S POVI strolled into the revolving doors of the building that housed my father's company. I walked confidently, and I was fairly certain that on the outside, I looked totally in control.But on the inside, my nerves were tied in knots and my chest had become severely constricted. All of this had absolutely nothing to do with it being my first working day in my father's company after many yearsThe last time I had been this nervous was more than Eight years ago when I was fired from my last job.Since my last encounter with Isabella, I hadn't gone back to the house. After I left Madison's place, I stayed at a hotel, just to avoid seeing Isabella. Needing the space myself to think, to work out my own emotions- the turmoil slowly brewing in my heart.I was immediately met in the reception by half a dozen men in suits. I immediately recognized Tom Bradley, the current CMO of the company.The team of executives introduced themselves to me then we rode up to the three floors of t
ALEXANDER POVI stared at Madison in shock. My mind was blank for a minute, trying to process what she just said. First of all, that video had been taken in my office. The angle was lopsided but the hand that had captured it was steady. Worse, the view was from behind, which means someone had really taken that video from a secretive place in my window. Had they placed a small camera there or they used a phone? No. I would have noticed If it was a phone. It was a small, spy camera.The lengths that Madison had to go to just to get this on camera were astonishing. How long had she suspected me? How long had she planned this? What did she want?! I was running mad just thinking about all this, but I needed to keep a calm exterior. If she noticed that I was panicking, it would give her more avenue to string me dry.I walked back to my desk and leaned my butt on its edge. “So, what do you want?”She smiled, carefully patting her bag where the phone and evidence were. “I’m glad you asked tha
ISABELLA POVI held the phone to my chest and slumped to my bed. Everything had been so chaotic lately, telling Madison just a few minutes ago that I was okay breaking up with Alex was just downright painful. Not as painful as when I slapped him because I wanted to prove that I was serious with my decision, but painful regardless. I wonder what he thinks of me now, if Madison would get him to play her tunes or if he would just turn to her.Still, at the same time, there was no future for us. Lucas would have continued to exploit me if Madison hadn’t made that video, and our relationship would have been discovered one way or the other. It was wise to let him go, even though my heart was aching and hurting so badly that I could barely breathe.After gathering my emotions together for a while, I called Brianna. She was the only person I could talk to now who would understand me without judging terribly. She picked up immediately as if she’d been waiting for my call.“Are you okay?” she
ALEXANDER POVI blew out a breath and tried to unbutton my tie. Frustrated, I left it alone and focused on my computer. For the third time that morning, I thought of Isabella again. I’d been thinking about her a lot more now. Especially after last night.Should I have accepted her offer and eaten her food when she asked me this morning? The tension between us after the fight was still sizzling, and I’m not sure I’d be able to sit down at the dining table with her and not tear her clothes apart. She was gorgeous, truly. She was wearing a robe when she came down to make breakfast and her face was sort of rumpled from sleep. It took all kinds of self-control to be able to leave there without immediately rushing her with a kiss or pining my head in between her legs. It was hard leaving the house without giving her a hard kiss like I usually do.Sighing, I moved away from the table. How would I be able to concentrate when my sole thought process revolves around Isabella? She didn’t want me
