Isabella's POVThinking about the fact that Grandma is inquisitive in nature just like me, I appreciate the fact that she hadn't asked me anything for the past one week that I have been stuck here.One week of always looking out of the window for the sight of Jayden's car or the sight of him.One week of wanting a form of assurance from him but nothing. He hasn't come here ever since the other night and I feel he didn't really care.He was right. The sex was a mistake.If he cared, he would have at least come back to apologize but he is back to being that egoistic man I used to know.I have stopped crying but I wish I had a friend. I wish Juliet and I didn't have a fight and she is here to cheer me up. If we were still friends, she would have suggested that we go to a party and it would have been a great way to take my mind off Jayden.The more I wait for Jayden to come begging me, the more I am realizing that this is gradually coming to the end of what we had.Our contract will be te
Jayden's POVJust before I can stand up to my feet to go out, a knock comes on the door.I look up from where I am sitting, wondering who it is after I had told the maids not to disturb me. This is my quiet time ever since Isabella left the house. I haven't been able to bring myself to go and apologize, all I have been doing is sticking around to make sure she is still in her Grandma's place.I really do not know why I have this strange feeling that she would go and meet Romeo wherever he is to accept him back in her life. I am supposed to be happy that at least she will be happy to have found genuine love somewhere else but I don't feel happy.I feel miserable. I am miserable.I am finding it very difficult to let go but I believe it is because I am used to her presence in the house already.To be honest, I miss her. I f***ing miss everything about her. The way she bites her lips, the smile on her face when I say something funny, the way she looks at me with adorable eyes, the way s
Jayden's POV"Isabella? What about her?" I question with furrowed brows, my heart racing.Did something happen to her? Is she ok? Did she attempt to take her life for what I did? Gabriel's expression is blank for a while and I am tempted to move closer, jerk him so he will tell me what it is before my heart bursts out of my chest."Gabriel?" I call out. "Did something happen to Isabella?""No!" He answers sharply."No?" I don't know whether to be relieved or not. That came out fast and I don't know what to think."Don't you think it is high time you guys sort yourselves out?" He asks and I roll my eyes and turn my back to him again."Is that why you are here?" I thought he came here to apologize. I see he is still bent on making me date Isabella and make all of this real."Yes, and also to apologize for how I spoke to you the other time. I was just pissed…""Pissed?" I twirl back abruptly to face him again. "Pissed that I am doing the right thing?""The right thing?" He scoffs. "Did
Isabella's POVI am having the time of my life after weeks of having myself locked up in my Grandma's bedroom and forcing her to sleep on the same bed with her maid and friend, Safina.Sabrina exudes happiness. She is free-spirited and I am more than sure that she is the type of friend that I need.I swing my hips to the loud music, laughing to myself as Eunice comes behind me, grabbing my waist and grinding it on her front.Sabrina's laughter fills my ears and all of a sudden, I love her. I love her for doing this. I love her for bringing me here. I love her for coming to check up on me.She saw how miserable I looked last night when she came. I guess Gabriel didn't tell her about what happened between Jayden and me on time or maybe Jayden didn't tell Gabriel on time.His ego will ruin him someday.Sabrina promised to come to get me so we could go out tonight and I have been anticipating the outing since she left last night.Like magic, I felt happier. I was able to take my mind off
Isabella's POVMy eyes flutter open simultaneously with the groan that leaves my mouth. My head is banging and my eyes feel heavy and small.My body is weak too and I try to raise my hand when someone grabs me.Grandma's worried-filled expression appears before me. "Isabella!"I hear gasps from people who move closer. I turn my head slowly to see Safina right beside Grandma, then Gabriel whose arms are entwined with his clingy wife, Sabrina, then Jayden.Sabrina stares at Jayden and giggles excitedly before turning back to her husband. Jayden throws her a cold glare as a look of embarrassment fills his expression.Then, he bites his lips.This is when it all comes rushing. I am in the hospital and I fell unconscious while trying to escape Jayden's grip.Jayden and I are no longer together and we are not on good terms. Why is Sabrina grinning and making him embarrassed? Why is he looking pissed and humiliated? Did Sabrina see me slap him? Or are they taunting him for coming back to me
Jayden's POVGabriel and I have been searching for Isabella all around the vicinity of the hospital for more than an hour all to no avail.We have been doing this in complete silence, not only because we are not on good terms but also because I'm worried and I am sure he is too.Isabella is missing and I am going crazy trying to think of where she would have gone.No one saw her leaving the hospital and I don't even want my imagination to run wild and have me thinking she must have been kidnapped or killed.My grip on the wheels tightens instantly and I wish I have a supernatural power to find out where she is.I know she did this on purpose. This is because of the baby. The baby she is carrying. My baby.We found out about her pregnancy just this evening and when her grandmother came out of the room to meet Gabriel, Sabrina, and me outside, I wanted to go in but she stopped me.Isabella said she wanted to be alone. If I had known this was her intention, I wouldn't have listened to
Isabella's POVI take heavy steps towards our room.Jayden's room rather. It is no longer mine again.I came in like it was normal for the boss's wife to come into her matrimonial home at 5 am, even though it has been two weeks since I last came here.I'm sure the maids won't call Jayden. They don't know about our rift, do they?I had to run away from the hospital because of Jayden and I know going to Grandma's place is definitely not the solution at the moment. Jayden will find me there and Grandma will allow him in.I took the bathroom window out and stuck around till I was so sure that my absence had been noticed and they were all gone to find me somewhere before I took the window back inside the bathroom and sat on the water closet to bawl my eyes out.I cried out my eyes. Not because getting pregnant is a bad thing but because the timing is wrong.My baby won't be appreciated. My baby won't be loved. His father isn't proud to have him.No wonder Jayden was looking very angry. Thi
Jayden's POVWhat is left is the dust.I watch the car screech away with speed and Isabella going away from my life forever."Shit!" I curse and hit my fist in the air, breathless. Why didn't I think she would come home? It didn't even cross my mind that she would come over to the mansion. It was the last place I expected her to be.If only I had come earlier before she got out of the house, maybe I would have been able to convince her.I asked Gabriel to go home. He is indeed a good friend, having left his pregnant wife alone at home to tender to my own problems of finding my wife because we have no idea how she disappeared.Now I know my assumptions are wrong. She wasn't kidnapped. She ran off on her own because she couldn't handle the fact that she was pregnant with my child."F**k!" I groan and squat to the floor, thinking of what to do.Suddenly, it clicks. Instead of standing back and watching the cab disappear out of sight, I should do something.I should follow the cab to kno
