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
Jennifer's POVI was going through some of the documents that I had missed to go through last week when my Assistant Harry entered with what I could describe as a lorry load of roses, my office was already scenting with these beautiful roses but it was too much. I don't know what Shawn was thinking even after I told him that we could not just work out anymore. I just don't want to get mad at him since he was my friend and he still had some of his clients come over to my company. That was something no one has done for me, Marcello would not since he doesn't exactly have a legal business except his nightclubs and the medical center which I don't exactly think it's legal.However, he was taking this too far, it was a good thing that my boyfriend was occupied and didn't have the time to come around, Dave was the one who had dropped me off at work and will probably be the one who will pick me up since ones staying over at his place for the rest of the week."What are these?""You should t
Jennifer's POVWhen I got off work, Dave was already waiting for me, it was a good thing that he came around since I didn't come with a car and wasn't about to jump into a cab late at night. It was late and getting a safe cab today was very rare because of the rise of crime rate in the streets by these criminal groups. "Ms. Sanchez" Dave shot a smile at me as he opened the door for me to get inside, I was pleased that he was his driver and would have to drive him around all the time. "So what are you doing tonight?" When I heard that familiar voice right behind me, I halted and turned around only to see Shawn standing behind me with another Rose. Today was Indeed special, it started with roses and ended with roses. Glancing at my wristwatch, it wasn't as late as I thought but the dark already covered the sky and I hated to be on the street by this time. I prefer to be in my house than to be anywhere else and other times that I cannot be in my house, I want to be with Marcello in h
Marcello pov"Will you stop drinking and give me that?" As I tried to grab the martini from Harry, he lifted up his hand and I shook his head. "You cannot take this away from me,"He was embarrassing me with this awkward behavior but I could not get mad at him, he was just like me, we are both like outcasts, at least Patricia made that very obvious the other night and I just have to get that through my thick skull. If it hadn't been for Jennifer who stood up for me I would have left the big Mansion neither my head lowered. "You are so drunk" I shook my head and looked away. It was a good thing that this was my club, otherwise a lot of people would have been whispering because he was acting like an idiot all of a sudden and that was pissing me off."You are lucky to have her you Know, Jennifer is so obsessed with you, I wonder if I will ever get that kind of love, if I had known that she was such a romantic idiot then I would have shot my shot with her even though I know that she wi
Marcello's POVWhen I got to her house, she wasn't around, and that made me burst into laughter. Dave was already prepared to hurt him and perhaps I wanted to, when I saw Jennifer get out of a cab. I was glad that she got out of a cab and not Shawn's car, nevertheless her face was gloomy, and she was still lost in thought s she stared at the ground. However, as she stared at us, she almost jumped and glanced at Dave. "Dave said that you were at home sleeping""The thing is. I… I can explain""Explain what? That you were with Shawn or the fact that you are keeping it away or the fact he sent you those roses in your office" "How did you know about the roses? Did Harry?""I went to your office, you threatened to fire him if he exposed you and I had to take his key" I shook my head, I was disappointed with her at the moment. "You disgust me right now, you and that man together""We didn't do anything, we only ate dinner and That was it""It's not about that, you don't trust me""You wo
Jennifer's POVAs the day drew to another day, I was glad, I needed to sort out a lot of things with Marcello. He had slept in the other bedroom and when I went to find him in the night to come back to the room, I found out that the door was locked. That Made me feel disheartened and I wondered if he was going to be mad at me forever. This has never happened before, Marcello has never left me to go sleep in another bedroom, he would rather turn the other way and be mad at me for some minutes or say really nasty things to me that will make me get mad at you and then he will have to apologize.Stepping out of the room, and heading towards his bedroom, I was surprised to find out that he was fond but had prepared breakfast and left a note stating that he had eaten his food. That was not something that I had thought that he would do, it was cute though but I love having breakfast with him. He will have to stare at me all through and I will have no other choice than to blush all the time.
