"Is that all?" Charles asked Richard with a low voice so as to not wake Isabella who was still sleeping deeply.
'I contacted Isabella's doctor already. His schedule is luckily not tight on the 27th, so he will be able to make it.'
Charles wore a satisfactory smile. It was all coming together fine. "That's good. Did he mention anything else?"
'Well...' Richard drew a long breath before going on. 'He did say his statement would most likely be disturbing.'
Charles's legs danced a bit as his face wore a frown. "Disturbing?"
'He is bound by an oath thus he can only make mention of it during the hearing.'
"I see." Charles felt it was a shame he wouldn't be able to be at the hearing.
'One more thing.'
"What about?"
'Gabriel. There is something about him Augustus just discovered.' It then occurred t
Isabella had dreamt about her father. And she found that odd. But what felt odder as her eyes opened slowly was the realization that it was the first time in a while that she was seeing his face.A small sigh left her as she sat up. After scanning the room for some seconds, Isabella pondered on whether her father once felt guilty for marrying her off in that manner.The man she always knew would be.But with certain words flying around and the manner with which he left her ... she had to think otherwise.And that made her heart ache. That the only parent she had would be so double faced made her quite sad.But then... he really was the only one she had for a long time. A mother she never knew and her father hated the idea of nannies, so he single handedly raised her to a certain point despite his crazy schedules.And that was one of the re
Charles felt good, yet quite uncomfortable. As he yanked his arms which seemed very apart, he felt slightly, a sharp pain and a metallic sound. Almost frowning, he wondered what was going on.Besides, he also felt stripped. He could feel cool air coming unto manhood. With the aim of leaving his semi-conscious state and ridding himself of the discomfort, he made to get up but it was all in his head.His body never left the bed.What was going on? He wondered. Was he dreaming?As questions flooded his mind, he felt warm hands on his thickness and as they rubbed through, he felt so good. Then it dropped. Was Isabella playing some kind of sexual game with him?It was rather too early for that kind of thing as she didn't appear to be stable enough for extremity. But if she really wanted it... why not?As his mind wandered some more in his state which he still coul
Isabella felt her heart against her chest. It hurt as it kept trying to jump out. Stopping her steps which had brought her really farther from his room, she begged her heart to stop pounding so much.But her mind added salt to the wound and replayed the image she earlier saw. He had told his secretary to stay still. Was that how it was?He helped her out with assurance of marriage when infact he had his secretary to fuck as he pleased?But why?With what she saw, his help from all these days looked so dubious. A lot.Was that his form of revenge? If it was, it was hurting so much and she never saw herself feeling that way.But then, could she really complain? He probably felt pained years ago when the woman he loved didn't show up for their wedding ceremony. She guessed it was even.But still... as her chest pained some
It still bothered Charles that Miss Kane would stupidly act the way she did. While she had the chance to always seduce him to the fullest, she did nothing but drop hints.So, why? Why would she at that moment, take such a crazy step?He could not help but eventually link it all to his mother. And if his suspicion was right, then, he was nothing but disappointed in the woman who gave birth to him.The almost empty cup in his hold soon became a medium for instigating more thoughts. As the tip of his index finger played around the rim, he felt a light tap on his shoulder."Richard," he acknowledged the man who walked to the seat opposite him and warmed the cushioned chair with his stylish clothing."Why did you seem so deep in thought? Did something happen?"Charles almost smiled. Richard never failed to read his emotions and mood right. It was one of the reason
"How long have you known the couple Mr. Godfrey?" As one of the men asked, Isabella eyes trained on the man who was a little on the chubby side. He looked familiar, but she really couldn't place his face."For about a year now.""A year... And whom did you have a relationship with?""Gabriel.""How would you describe Gabriel's attitude towards his wife?""He is usually good to her. Sometimes, when I come over to their place, he makes me so jealous because there are times he would cook for her and make her feel loved even while she did nothing.""What if that was just a show?""A show?" As Mr. Godfrey snickered, Isabella instantly recalled where she had met him. He was the drunk guy from the time she told Gabriel she was leaving him. "Even in public, he never failed to show how much he loved her."Isabella could
"What?" the Judge who hadn't spoken a word in a while, asked. Isabella's eyes shut and her head ducked. As her mind replayed the events that led to her losing her child at that time, her heart became even heavier. "Miscarriage?" the man's deep questioning voice asked almost uncertainly. As Mr. Richard's hand came onto hers to offer his own little support, her mind instantly went to Charles. There was a time she wanted to tell him about it. But at that moment... her entire being was against the idea. "Yes." The atmosphere had become heavy with emotion. "That day when she helped herself into the hospital, she was so numb. It was until I noticed bloodstains on her gown and ran tests that I could deduce she had suffered a loss." "Did she say what happened?" Dr. Jones shook his head. "Contrary to how lively she used to be, she suddenl
Time was running and fast. Claire Oxford still hadn't gotten any form of news from Gabriel Manifold. Was Ordinaz Rodrigo really that hard to find?Reverse was certainly the case in time past.In fact, the stout man took pleasure in showing of his not so attractive self in public even if it disgusted more than half of the street at that time. While she was his wife, he forced her to go on tours with him, as he would call it.It seemed he found joy in such acts.But now that she needed him in public so he can pay for what he did to her and what he might be planning to do to her son, he had hidden himself well.But then, is the world really that large that a rich man like him wouldn't be found? Certainly, no matter where he was, with the right methods being used, he will be hunted down.As she sat down and stared at nothing, Mrs. Oxford had to wonder if Gabriel'
Every nerve awoke within her all because of his touch. And with his lips finally finding hers and exploring pleasurably, she had her head instantly filled with no one else but Charles.His fingers ran through her hair and she felt relief follow. His touch was everything good to her system.As his tongue ran across the soft flesh of her lip in a likeable manner, her lower body grounded into his even more and she knew what she had to next. Taking her position to be an advantage she broke the kiss and bossily tore his hold off her hips.With amusement on his lips, Charles watched as she had his hands approach the tip of her gown. Allowing her take control, his hands glided through her skin slowly, his fingers still having the electric touch to them and her gown followed the rhythm.Closing her eyes to relish the moment, her hands led his to her lower abdomen whe
