Isabella's POVI stood in front of the mirror staring at my reflection, I could not tell what was real or not anymore. I looked breathtaking, I knew that with the way everyone stared at me as I left the shop earlier with Jennifer. Even Juan Carlos could not take his eyes off me, it was a good thing that I was married to his boss otherwise I would not have rode with him alone after we dropped Jennifer off at the house."You look so beautiful, I can't take my eyes off you"Without having to turn around, I could put a name to that familiar voice. He sent Butterflies crawling up my stomach, his voice was Intimidating and so was his looks. When he looked at me, I wished for the ground to open so that I could fall inside but that was stupid since sometimes I wasn't even sure that he noticed me. "Rodrigo, please stop"I was not in the mood to hear any more of his words, this dinner wasn't what I wanted. I just wanted to stay back at home and sleep or read one of those romance books that th
Jennifer's POVThe dinner started off so well, ever since I arrived at the Mansion, Rodrigo hasn't taken his eyes off Isabella or let her out of his sight, you can tell that he is feeling something he has never felt before for her. Isabella. "What are you doing sitting all alone?" I rolled my eyes seeing Juan Carlos sitting next to me on the dinner table. Everyone was having a good time, I seemed to be the only one who was left out since my boyfriend decided not to show up and could not do as much as text. I don't know what is wrong with him, I don't know where he was, he left before me this morning, the good thing was that he made pancakes before leaving with a note. "You should mind your own business, what are you doing here staying anyways, don't you have any woman to be flirting around with in this dinner""If you haven't noticed, this is Rodrigo's family and I am not in the mood to flirt with anyone. I have eyes only fit Sawyer now so no one should come to me, I won't be moved
Jennifer's POV"Harry" He glared at him but the unscrupulous fellow did not bother to let me go, he held me so possessively despite my struggle. I had a feeling that they already knew each other since Harry was an attorney for the Family and he knew all of the relatives and Grandchildren, he must have met Marcello a few times or they must have had a conversation."Why should I let her go? She doesn't belong to you, she is free to be with whoever she wants to be""She does not belong to you either" Marcello was quick to say."I belong to Marcello, I already told you that I am not interested in you, why are you doing this to me? I don't even know who you are""I don't need to know you to be in love with you, I just want you to give me a Chance"I knew that I had to get away from him else Marcello might start a fight and pull out his gun and I didn't want that, I didn't want anyone to see him as a monster. He is not one, he is just difficult but once you get to know him, you will fall h
Jennifer's POVTurning around, I was Shocked to see Patricia holding up a gun. Isabella stood beside her. She must have been surprised that she had fired a gun as I did. Though I know that Patricia still has her skills when it comes to firearms, she goes hunting sometimes and Other times she will be taking the shooting range. However, I never expected her to open fire in the middle of the dinner party, especially at my man."Get away from him you Bastard" she pointed her gun at Marcello. My blood boiled, I had no clue that she was going to do this, everyone was now whispering. Looking around, I tried to look for Rodrigo but it seemed as if he stepped out of the house and must have been discussing something important. "I am not going to say things again, the next bullet is going to go right through you, Step away from Harry"Standing up, Marcello stepped away from Harry looking at Patricia who still had her gun pointed at him, she had no intention of ever lowering it to the side."Ho
Rodrigo's POVWhen we got back to the house after the intense drama that happened at the big mansion, I was glad that everything got sorted out and Grandmother decided to fire Harry for what he did to Jennifer. That woman was so precious to my grandmother. She can do anything for her, I would have stepped up as soon as I heard those gunshots but I wanted to see her prove to me once again that she was really in love with him. She exceeded my expectations in so many ways."Goodnight" Isabella whispered as she walked towards her room, she had been awfully quiet these days, the only thing was that tonight she was smiling all through as her friend defended the man that she loved. It made me wonder if she could do the same thing as well.I couldn't let her go into her room without getting the answers to the questions buzzing in my head right now. I wanted to know everything that she had in her mind.Catching up to her before she shut the door, she was fazed by my action and thought that I h
Isabella's POVThe closeness was killing me, he was killing me by being almost an inch from capturing my lips. I wanted that to happen, yet it felt wrong and I just wanted to push him away and run him away but I couldn't. My hands were trembling and as my muscles weakened, my legs become wobbly, and my eyes lingered together with his. There was something between us, I don't know what it is or perhaps I do and just want to turn a blind eye to it all. I just wanted to forget that it was there and focus on other things but this man made it impossible for me.First, it was the questions and now this, he was rather being too forward and making moves that I cannot fathom, I know that this was just an act, there was nothing that was supposed to be between us. I don't want him, or at least that is what I tell myself to remind myself that he has hurt me and my family so many times. I am supposed to hate him for m taking me away from the people who love me and he threatens them that I will."W
Isabella's POV"Really? Is that what you wish to know?" My hands fall on his hard, toned chest. The memory of the other time that we had slept in the same bedroom flashes through my head. I had gotten a peak of his chest and that had been in my mind for so long, even though I had not told anyone about it, not even Jennifer. It won't stop invading my mind either and that was really not cool.He smirked and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. He must have assumed that I was flirting with him, and that looked like flirting even though I never wanted it to be that way. "What are you going to do about that? Are you going to tell me about it or do I have to do something to you for you to say it"My hand quickly fell on my dude, he was talking about kissing me again and that was annoying. "I will tell you only if you promise not to kiss me again""You are in no condition to make demands""Are you sure about that? Are you going to be like that?""Least you forgot if you don't tell me, I w
Isabella's POVAs the city drew to another crimson-grey day, I had to rise from the bed, that familiar scent lingered in my nose and I wondered why. Though I didn't see him leave the room, I heard the sound of the door closing and that made me assured that he had left. However, my sheets had his scent and so was my bedding. The memories of his kisses wetting my neck and firing up those strange emotions in me shot through my mind, but I just pushed it away.It was wrong kissing him, why do I have to keep thinking about him this early in the morning as if he was thinking about me. Perhaps he was, the other day, I caught him staring at me when he was talking with some of his men and during the dinner last night, he kept following me around and would gawk at me if left his side. This man was doing strange things that were not part of what we agreed on. Though more like what he agreed upon, I never accepted this marriage and took a date, I still find it difficult to accept it. Somewhere l
