A YEAR WITH THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 52
Jayden's POVIt has been a week since I went to work and I have been home resting simply because Isabella insisted that I stay at home for a week.I know I actually needed the rest but I couldn't pay deaf ears to the piles of work I had to sort out.With Isabella's help, I got everything done in just a few days while we left the others at work. Anna usually brings the important one home for me and Isabella to work on. Most times, she handles it alone while I watch her do it.She has been really supportive and I can't believe she hasn't brought up the issue of leaving again since the other day.When she came back home that night, she was with a smile on her face and I was happy to see her back in the house. I kept on ignoring the voice telling me that Isabella would never come back again.I am going to resume work tomorrow but I decided to make today worth it for Isabella.

Isabella's POVI watch him struggle with his words. I watch him narrate every single thing without leaving a stone unturned. I watch him make an effort not to break down in front of me and I wish I could wrap my hands around him, comfort him and tell him everything will be fine.Time they say heals all wounds. Jayden is healing already but he doesn't know. For a whole year that I worked for him, I never knew he was battling with something as deep as this.I judged him to be cruel, harsh, and rude. I never knew he was battling with the trauma of watching his wife die in his arms just within a minute of arguing with each other.It makes me want to cry. But I am refraining from letting my tears pour.When I can no longer hold it in, a tear drops from my eyes. Before I can wipe it, Jayden sees it and he smiles sadly and stops talking.How do I console him? It feels like I was right there that night, standing aside and watching him and Gabriel struggle to revive her back to life as the

Isabella's POVHis body still goes against mine and I pull away instantly. A cold shiver runs down my spine instantly at the absence of the touch of his body on mine.What did I just do? I know I am excited about the thought of going to Verona and having Jayden sponsor my trip but why did I jump on him that way?Won't he get the wrong idea about me? Why is he even doing this?I know he has been nice to me for a week now but I believe it's because of his ill-health and how I have been helping him recuperate but it shouldn't be more than that. If I don't take care for him, who will? I am his wife after all.I clear my throat and tuck the strand of hair that falls on my face behind my ears. I gulp down and ask him. "Why are you doing this?""What?" Confusion skates his expression at the question."Why do you want to sponsor my trip to Italy?" I ask again and he smiles. A smile that sends my inside in disarray.I have seen him smile a lot these past few days but this one feels different

Jayden's POVMy breathing became ragged when her body touched mine and her arms encircled around my head firmly in an embrace.Isabella and I have never been that close before except on our wedding day. Noticing my still body, she pulled away immediately and apologized. I have been thinking about it since I left her in the kitchen to cook but I don't know what to think of what happened between us.I have never given any other woman my attention apart from Helena. "Let's go and eat outside", she suggests as she comes out of that kitchen with the food. I love potatoes and I made sure madam Cassandra got enough potatoes for me during the grocery shopping she did for me yesterday.She is my maid and she usually comes to clean every week or whenever I need her to shop for me in preparation for my arrival.I have never come here with anyone, not even Helena. I bought this house after Helena died and I felt like the mansion was suffocating the hell out of me. Everything about the mansion

Isabella's POVI was cold all through the night. I couldn't find a suitable change of clothes in the wardrobe in the bedroom.I only got to change into a pair of t-shirts that are way too big for me and I am sure it belongs to Jayden.Thankfully, I was wearing a short beneath my dress yesterday which wasn't too wet so I had to sleep in the bum shorts and the t-shirt that way.I couldn't help but worry about Jayden. I didn't even know when I slept off.He suddenly became stiff last night. I was surprised at the way he said his good night to me. I didn't expect we would go to bed that early but I guess it's for the best since the rain had ruined the plans I had in mind.As I stay in bed, thinking about everything that has happened in our marriage in just a month, a sweet delicious scent wafts past my nostril and my stomach rumbles instantly.Food.Quickly, I scramble out of bed and head out of the bedroom to trace where the aroma is coming from. I know it will be no other place than the

Isabella's POVHis lips move on mine and the kiss isn't rough. It is sweet, soft, slow, and passionate. It is the exact thing I have always envisioned for my first time.Something as soft as the feathers of a hummingbird, something as sweet as my favorite wine, Adrianna Vineyard, something as slow as the current music, and something as passionate as what is between Jayden and me.At first, the kiss caught me off guard but I did not waste any more time by thinking about the kiss instead of enjoying it while it lasted.I throw every warning and thought to the winds and grab his waist closer, tugging him hard against my front, his chest pressing hard on my bosom.He delves his tongue further into my mouth, seeking access to explore more of the insides of my mouth and I open my mouth wider to grant him full access, to taste every inch of my mouth.A groan escapes his mouth and I let out the moan I have been trying not to let out too. His touch makes my skin feel so alive but his kiss is p

Jayden's POVWhile putting some files into my briefcase so I could go home, the door opens and I look up to see my mother come in."Mother?" I wiggle my eyebrows at her as she closes the door and ventures inside.Is Anna gone? Why didn't she inform me that Mother is here?I plan to go home early today because Gabriel and I have plans to meet up somewhere to close our deal and sign up the contract of my partnership. We couldn't do that because I have been absent from work for a whole week and I have been coming to work for three days now without seeing him.He told me how busy he has been coupled with the demands of his pregnant wife and we planned to meet tonight.Sabrina would be going out with her friend too which is giving him the time to come out. I hope now that he is expecting a baby, he will be faithful to his wife."What are you doing here?" I ask her with confusion, skating my expression. Why is she here by this time of the day? We haven't seen each other for days. Well, I h
A YEAR WITH THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 59
Jayden's POVThe silent ride home gives me enough time to think about everything that is happening and what just happened between Mother and me before she went home with her driver.I haven't said a single word to Jude since I climbed into the car and he began to drive me home. But I have to tell him to wait for me to take a quick shower and change into something light so he can drive me to where Gabriel and I will be meeting.I have been avoiding Isabella and sometimes I sleep in my office while other times, I sleep on the sofa.Things have been really awkward between us ever since that day. I have been trying not to let it get into the way of our new friendship but it is getting in the way. I can't just pretend the kiss didn't happen. I find it very hard to sleep on the same bed with her too, for fear that I would lose my cool and act on impulse. I had no idea what came over me that day. Maybe it was because she looked like Helena that day and she reminded me of Helena, the way she
