ISABELLA'S POV

The sleek table before me gleamed under the harsh florescent light of Nicholas Montgomery's office. It's magnificence matched the man seated across from me with the stack of papers lying between us. I inhaled deeply, steadying the chaos in my chest. I opened the folder, scanning the first few lines. Nicholas's sharp gaze didn't waver and I could feel it drilling into me as I tried to focus.

The terms were straightforward:

    The car pulled over smoothly, and Nicholas stepped out with his usual air of unbothered authority. Rounding the car, he opened the door for me like a perfect gentleman—except he wasn’t. His hand extended, and I hesitated before placing mine in his. As I stepped out, his touch lingered, his hand sliding to the small of my back to guide me towards the extravagant restaurant.I've heard a lot about this place but I haven't been inside before. I noticed how there were only few people but they were all wealthy men and women. Everything about the restaurant, from the glistening tiled floors to the ornate ceiling was eerily flawless and perfect. It didn't sit right with me. Nicholas pulled out a chair for me and I sat down, mumbling a thank you. But as I settled, he leaned in close, his breath warm against my ear.“Are you okay?”I froze. “Yes. Why?” My response was sharp and defensive.“Your body is warm,” he observed.My heart stuttered. Shit! "It must be the weather. I'm perfectly fine"

    NICHOLAS POV"In fine, Mr. Montgomery. I just need to..."Her words barely left her lips before her body crumpled, falling against me. My heart lurched as I caught her.Fuck! Her skin was scorching to the touch, her body unnaturally limp. The sight of her pale, sweat-drenched face ignited a deep, unfamiliar worry in my chest. I knew something was wrong when her held her and her body felt warmer than usual. I didn't expect it would escalate to this. Without a second thought, I scooped her into my arms and carried her to the car. Her head rested against my chest, her breaths shallow and uneven. I quickly called my driver as I settled to the back of the car.Fredrick, my driver arrived within moments. "What happened, Mr. Montgomery?" His concerned gaze darted to the unconscious woman in my arms, his expression shifting from confusion to alarm."We need to take her to the hospital" He started the car."No" My reply came out sharper than intended. I let out a breath. "Take us home. I've c

    NICHOLAS'S POV A knock came in my study room and the door slowly opened. I could already tell it was Odessa by the sound of her footsteps. My fingers which were clicking continuously on my keyboard paused, anticipating what she wanted to tell me."She's awake Nicholas and she's demanding to see you" Odessa reported, standing by the door. I only nodded and she left without another word. A few minutes later, I stood up and left. I paused at the threshold of the guest room, my eyes instantly finding her. She was up, moving about, touching everything like a curious child. I stood by, watching as her fingers brushed over the curtains, her brows furrowing slightly."Brocade" She mumbled, much to my surprise. "I see you're awake" I said breaking the silence. She flinched, her head snapping toward me. Her eyes widened slightly when they landed on me. They moved slowly, from my face to my top which hugged my body a bit, making my muscles bulge, down to my grey sweatpants. I noticed the way

    ISABELLA'S POV I stood before the familiar building, my heart beating hard against my chest. It's been years since I last stepped foot into this place I once called home. As I entered the elegant mansion of the Sterlings, a nostalgic feeling washed over me, followed immediately by a sickening feeling. Nostalgia, because memories of my early childhood came playing. Sickening, because I knew, I remembered that despite growing up here, I was here welcomed. My existence was never acknowledged by the people I call my family. In the grand living room, they were all gathered. My father sat in his favorite armchair, with my mother perched beside him like the dutiful wife she always pretended to be. Daniel lounged opposite them. Christabella was the only one pacing, her heels clicking sharply against the marble floor.Her head snapped up the moment she saw me. "You..." She stormed towards me."What stupid game are you playing, Isabella? Huh?" She stopped inches from me, her voice rising. "Wh

My fingers drummed four times against the armrest of the leather chair in Dr. Fiona Clarke’s office.It’s been five days since Isabella moved in, and my mansion has been anything but the same. My once quiet, cold sanctuary now feels invaded, as if her presence alone is enough to disrupt the carefully maintained order in my life. Even Odessa has taken a liking to her. Five days ago was also the last time I saw her. That is how long I've managed to avoid her. It was out of cowardice, no. It was a strategy.I needed time to gather my thoughts together. Having her move in was a huge decision and I wanted to some time to myself. To figure what was happening to me when it comes to her and to regain control of my mind.Across from me, Fiona Clarke tilted her head slightly, studying me for some time before speaking up."What's with the sudden visit, Mr. Montgomery?

Gathering some of my men, I took off without delay.The car screeched to a halt as we arrived at our destination: the Sterlings' Mansion.As I stepped out and approached the gate, the guards stationed there moved to block my path.“Marcus,” I called sharply, and one of my men immediately stepped forward.“Deal with them.”It was a simple command, and with that, I strode through the gates, leaving the commotion behind me.I was entering the enemies territory and I wasn't about to take any chances.

    ISABELLA'S POV Days flew by, and before I knew it, a week had passed since the incident. Since that day, Nicholas and I hadn’t talked about what happened. I wasn’t ready to face it, unwilling to relive the horror that gripped me that day, and he, as though he understood, didn’t push the matter. Things settled back into how they were the moment we returned home. We avoided each other—or rather, I avoided Nicholas because I couldn’t bear to face him after he’d seen me in that vulnerable state. He, on the other hand, didn’t seem to care much and didn’t press me. I didn’t expect him to. If anything, I was grateful he’d saved me, even if it was just to fulfil the terms of our contract. My reflection in the mirror stared back at me. The champagne gown I wore featured a deep V neckline adorned with fancy sequins and beadwork that shimmered under the light. The gown hugged my figure perfectly, cascading into a soft, floor-sweeping hem with a bold slit at the front. My hair was styled in a

Even Mr. Franklin, who initially seemed hesitant, was visibly impressed.As the executives left, I lingered by the hallway. Nicholas was still speaking with Mr. Franklin, their voices low as they discussed final details. I clasped my hands in front of me, a soft smile tugging at my lips. For the first time in a while, I felt like I’d contributed something meaningful.“Mrs. Montgomery?”The deep, confident voice pulled me from my thoughts. I turned to see a tall man in a perfectly tailored navy suit approaching. He looked to be in his early thirties, with striking brown eyes and an easy smile that was undeniably charismatic.“Yes?” I replied, tilting my head slightly.He extended a hand, his voice warm. “Ryan Caldwell. COO of Franklin Industries. I couldn’t leave without introducing myself.”“Ah, Mr. Caldwell,” I said,

    NICHOLAS POV The conference room was a fortress of efficiency—sleek, modern, and perfectly calibrated for business. The faint hum of the holographic projector filled the room as I stood at the head of the table, presenting what I knew was a flawless pitch. Across from me, Mr. Franklin Darnell, a man with silvering hair and sharp eyes, leaned back in his chair, arms crossed as he studied the display.I didn’t blame him for being cautious; projects like this weren’t mere investments—they were legacy. His plans to build an amusement park were ambitious, aiming to create not just a destination but an experience for families and children across the region.And that’s where I came in.“As you know, Mr. Franklin, Neuro-Corp specializes in integrating cutting-edge technology into large-scale projects. We have designed systems that will redefine the operational efficiency of your park,” I said, gesturing to the virtual blueprint hovering in midair. “Our autonomous safety protocols are state-o

    Isabella's POVThe rooftop terrace was like something out of a dream. The glittering city below stretched endlessly, a sea of twinkling lights dancing beneath the darkened sky. Above, the stars shone faintly, as if whispering secrets to one another. A gentle breeze rustled past, cool but not biting, carrying with it the faint hum of the city far below.Leaning against the edge, I let out a soft sigh. It was breathtaking, every inch of it—the lights, the breeze, the quiet serenity that seemed so impossible in a world as noisy as ours. For a moment, I closed my eyes, letting the stillness sink in. When I opened them, I couldn’t stop the small smile tugging at my lips.“This is incredible,” I said softly, more to myself than to him.I didn’t hear Nicholas move, but I felt him before I saw him, his presence unmistakable as he stepped closer. He was quiet, as always, but there was something different about him in this moment—something softer. The usual edge he carried seemed dulled by the

His gaze darkened in mischief."What's wrong? Afraid I'll beat you to it?" I teased leaning against the counter as the vendor handed a set of darts.Nicholas’s expression shifted, his usual calm replaced by something sharper. He wasn’t the kind of man to back down from a challenge, and I had clearly stoked his competitive side.The reward were low, just a stuffed animal prize but Nicholas had too much pride to back down.“Prepare to lose, Mrs. Montgomery,” he said, his voice laced with confidence.He stepped up to the line, his posture perfect, and movements precise as he put on some gloves. I winked at him as he took aim, watching with quiet amusement. The first dart sailed through the air, landing in the outer ring of the target with a solid thud. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t impressive eith

    NICHOLAS POVThe street fair loomed before us like a chaotic storm I had no interest in weathering. The air was thick, the sound of laughter and chatter blending into a noise that clawed at my nerves. Bright colors blurred before my eyes. The crowd swarmed in eaves- shouting, the distant hum of music, the smell of street food mixing with the unmistakable scent of warm bodies and sweat. It all felt too close. Too loud. I stopped at the edge of the pavement, my muscle muscles stiffening as the rush of bodies pushed by. My stomach churned. My throat tightened. I could feel the heat of people brushing past me, their voices rising each passing minutes. My breath faltered as I glanced around, scanning the crowd with precision, calculating every exist, every opportunity to retreat because the closer people got, the harder it became to breath and my chest tightened with the old familiar pressure- like hands were closing in on me. Memories I thought I had long buried resurfaced. A differe

Thought you’d like it.”I nodded, enjoying the rest of the croissant. We lingered in a comfortable silence for a while before I finally spoke up. “I’ve always loved places like this. They remind me of my university days.”Nicholas raised an eyebrow, his gaze encouraging me to continue.I smiled, leaning back in my chair. "Back then, we had this tradition. We were sent to different cities to learn about the people’s culture and lifestyle. It was one of my favorite parts of studying law. We were encouraged to immerse ourselves completely.

Half asleep, I groaned and pulled the covers tighter around me. “Let me sleep a bit more,” I mumbled, turning to my side.The tugging didn’t stop. Then, I heard a soft meow, followed by the undeniable weight of something small and furry settling on my stomach. It wasn’t uncomfortable, but it was enough to stir me from my haze.Another soft meow broke through the stillness of the room, and I finally opened my eyes to the sight of Lilly, the little ball of fur now cradled against me, her soft body warm against my skin. A smile spread across my lips as I took in the peaceful scene around me—the sun was just beginning to peek through the curtains, casting soft rays across the room. The breeze outside was gentle, drifting through the window and carrying the faint scent of morning dew. Everything felt calm and serene. It was a quiet moment, the kind I hadn’t had in a long time.As I la

"You're welcome, Mrs. Montgomery."Mrs. Montgomery.The way he said it—smooth, effortless, like it was the most natural thing in the world—ignited something inside me. Butterflies burst in my stomach, fluttering with recklessly and filling every inch of me with warmth.It wasn’t just the name.

The private jet had been just as luxurious as I’d expected, its leather seats and sleek design screaming Nicholas Montgomery.When we boarded, I’d hesitated, assuming he might prefer his space, but Nicholas had gestured for me to sit beside him without a word. The gesture felt casual, almost as though it were expected.The hum of the engines was oddly soothing as the flight began, and I hadn’t realized how tired I was until my eyelids betrayed me, growing heavy. The next thing I knew, I woke to find my head resting against Nicholas’s shoulder. I froze, my heart leaping into my throat. Before I could fully process the situation, I noticed his coat draped over me, its faint, woodsy scent cocooning me in warmth.I turned
