Isabella pov“Why don't you answer the question?”Staring at Jennifer, she stayed right back at me, our hearts raced, our muscles tensing up as footsteps drew closer, I did not need to look back and put a name around the familiar steps, his cologne lingered in my nose almost driving me insane as my breathing shallow, I clutched onto my garment hoping I don't pass out from having to fight these desires.“What now?” Jennifer whispered and I wish she didn't, he was right behind us, he had heard it all. There was no need to deny it. It would be stupid. Marcelo was his wonderful friend and he loved him. While his girlfriend gossips about his name, his boss's wife listened, that was something we could never deny and so I stayed put wondering what his next move was going to be. He was not going to punish us for talking about his friend since he also talks about us behind our backs, though I have never heard him, I just sensed he was going to, this was Rodrigo Valentino, and it was possible f
Isabella’s povStaring at me, he tucked my hair behind his ear and I smiled at him.“You should stop” When I tried to push him away he held my arm and glared at me.“ What do you mean you should stop? I know you want this as well Isabella. Why are you denying yourself this feeling? I know that you want me as much as I want you get you keep pushing me away every time I try to come close to you”“Haven’t you figured it out? I don't want to get close to you, I don't want anything to do with you, this marriage only exists because you made it happen, if you didn't I wouldn't have heard anything to do with your family, our past wouldn't have crossed”“Well it did, and there is nothing that you can do about it, you are here to stay and forever you will be by my side, I won't let you go, not now not in the future so you better get that through your thick skull” His words were firm, yet somewhere in my heart, I wished he was just bluffing about it and did not mean any word that he just said t
Isabella’s pov“Why would you punish me? what have I done wrong?”“ You are the one who wanted to know why I was doing all of this, isn't it? you asking me some question is already enough for you to be punished”“ I don't want to know, let me go” As I tried to push him away, he held me and smirked.“ Too late, you have already asked and I can't go back”“What?”“ You're the one making me feel this way, I've never felt this way towards anyone and never done this with anyone before, so if you want to blame anybody blame yourself for being beautiful and for seducing me” That was insane, seducing him? He was out of his mind for implying that I did such a thing, the only thing I've done to him so far was proof that I was hard-headed and hated him for bringing me to his house and marrying me against my will.“ You're blaming me for all of this, why don't you blame yourself? you're the one who brought me here against my will and made me be your wife when I wanted nothing more to do with you
Rodrigo’s POVWhen the words left her mouth, she regretted opening those soft lips to insinuate that I wasn't the first man that she had ever felt those desires for. I already know that but should not have to rub it in my face, that got me pissed off and I just could not let it go.“What did you just say?” I took a step towards the bed and she moved backward almost about to get away when I quickly grabbed her leg and put her closer to me.“ Rodrigo” Her breathing became shallow, she was nervous, terrified of what I would do to her. how could she be so scared of me as if I was a monster? if she was going to get this kid wide open her mouth and talk about another man when she was right before me. “ Please don't” she trembled and I glared at her imagining her in the arms of another man, I bet she would not be this terrified she would submit herself to him, but when it came to me she acted as if I was a monster.“Stop trembling,” I said almost in a whisper. The last thing that I wanted w
Isabella’s povI was relieved That his relatives had arrived and I would not have to be in this torturous moment with him, though, a part of me wanted this to continue and not to end. Perhaps if only he hadn't gone further, I would have had sex with him if I had not controlled myself and pushed him away.“ The door”“ Forget about the door, I am sure the housekeeper will attend to it, let us talk about ourselves”“What is left for us to talk about? I don't think there is anything we should talk about, what happened was a mistake, it would never have happened if you had not started kissing me, and then I lost myself, I apologize” he glared at me and I knew that he was trying to control himself from reaching out to me and throttling my neck.“A mistake? I don't consider what happened between us a mistake, I wanted to go for the if you have not stopped me”My body heated up as he was so blunt, I would not have expected him to admit to something like that since he was Don Rodrigo.“Your r
Isabella’s povI had no idea what was wrong with these people, Hannah was the last person that I thought would ask me about an heir for Rodrigo, it was never part of the contract that I would have a son for him and I would never want to have a child for him. when I cornered into the hallway, I bumped into Jennifer fooling around with Marcello. Turning around I tried to walk back towards the bedroom when I saw Rodrigo making his way towards us. I thought he was having a shower or something, didn't know he would be very quick in the bathroom. He was the last person that I wanted to see right now after our little moment in the room. Turning back towards Jennifer, I walked towards the stairs, not bothering to look at both of them. As I walked past her, her peripheral vision caught sight of me and she quickly broke away from him chasing after me.“Hey, what's wrong with you?”“ Nothing, what is wrong with you?”“ Nothing, I mean we just went to pick up your husband's relatives” Can she j
Isabella’s pov“What do you mean? of course, I want you here, you're my sister and I love you” I was almost moved by his words, he really meant what he said, but then I just couldn't believe him, a man like Rodrigo knows nothing about love, the only thing that he knows was guns and bullets. but then I was surprised he had a heart, well he does when it comes to his family and I was not sure if I was part of that family since I never wanted to be here and never considered them to be my family, especially Rodrigo.He moved closer and engulfed Hannah, she held her so tight I could feel the bond between them. However, Jennifer glared at Marcello and he had no idea what you just did. As he tried to get close to her, she moved away from him, and I sensed that she was mad at him for not telling her about Hannah.“ You have a beautiful wife, I'm guessing you're in love with her”“You don't have to guess, what I feel for Isabella is something that I've never felt for anyone” As he broke away fr
Isabella’s povWhen Rodrigo’s uncle approached, it was a good time for me to escape from him and move around the house to greet some of his other relatives who had equally arrived. However, he held my hand and did not want to let me go. It was obvious that his uncle wanted to talk to him alone but yet he held me so firmly that I couldn't escape.“Honey, why don’t you talk with your uncle while I go greet Patricia, I'm sure grandmother wants to see me and I have not greeted her ever since she arrived, I don't want to be rude”“ Isabella is right why don't you let her go, I have a business that I would like to discuss with you”“Uncle, whatever you have to discuss with me will have to wait, right now I think Isabella and I should go and talk with Grandmother” Does it have to be that way? Before his uncle could get to see another word he held my hand and was already walking towards the stairs leaving him all alone looking like a fool.“ That was very rude of you”“ What was rude of me?”
