Isabella's POV "Christian.." I mouthed wide-eyed and he chuckled. "Oh, sorry." he said casually, raising his hands in surrender. Chloe couldn't understand what was going on, and I was glad that she didn't ask anything. "Isabella, it hurts but try to bear it." Christian stated and placed my foot on his lap again and rubbed it before twisting it to the other side and I yelped in pain, gripping the blanket on the either side. "Fuc-" "Uh-uh.. We get it." Christian quickly cut me off, slowly placing my leg down. "Now you feel a bit better, don't you?" I frowned looking at my leg but yes, I could feel it wasn't hurting that much like earlier. "Yeah, I guess." I muttered and he nodded, standing up. "Thankyou so much.." "No problem." he stated, waving his hand dismissively. Then Christian looked at Hayden and nodded at the door, signaling him to leave and Hayden nodded curtly before exiting. Christian turned to Chloe, ruffling her hair. "Pebbles, we'll be going to your favourite amu
Christian's POV Today was Saturday. Weekends were the only time I could get some break from my busy life. Eventhough I'd be discussing about the upcoming projects through the conference calls, it didn't have as much pressure as weekdays. After a long time, I decided to workout as I wanted to look more muscular like I looked in my mid-twenties. I knew that being a father of a 5-year-old kid, I shouldn't say like this but I couldn't help as everyone in the world would freak out to stand against me but that nosey girl, Isabella White who happened to be one of favourite persons of Chloe, driving me insane despite the fact that she was a stranger to me two months ago. I didn't know why but I just couldn't control my emotions when it came to her. And except Chloe I wouldn't do first-aids to anyone by myself. Even once in a time when my mother asked me to apply a balm to her forehead, I refused. But why on earth did I do that to Isabella? Why? As I lifted the dumbbells I tried to focus
Isabella's POV When Christian asked me like this, I was completely dumbfounded. Though it wasn't hard to pick; Because I could afford to buy more than one new outfit but ten minutes with the Christian Roberts whose appointment was being paid even for one minute, I already knew what I'd choose. I mean, a golden opportunity would never come twice so when he gave me an offer like this, I ain't a fool to turn it down. "Err.. It's really difficult to choose but I have so many crop-tops like this, so I'll go with the ten minutes with you." I told and he gave me a triumphant smirk, nodding his head. "Good. Come on and have a tea." he said, grabbing the mini kettle and pouring it into two cups. "T-Tea?" I asked hesitantly and he nodded, extending a cup to me. "Don't worry. It made by the cook. I found you were lying that day when I drank the remainder of the tea from the flask." he said causally and I took the cup, smiling sheepishly. "Uh, actually I was-" "I know. You didn't want to h
Isabella's POV "Uh.. but why is she staying with you?" I asked eventhough I already knew the answer. "Because of you." he whispered and I furrowed my brows at him. "Because of me? What did I do?" "You're the one who told me not to hurt myself right?" he asked and I nodded slowly. "Yeah, but what does that have to do with this?" "And.. I said I'd use drugs then, remember?" he tilted his head slightly and I recalled the incident before nodding my head again. "That's the point!" "Huh?" I frowned, looking at the brown-haired girl. "Wait.. Is she a drug dealer?" "No. Sex is my drugs." he stated nonchalantly and I looked up at him wide-eyed and slowly his trademark smirk has appeared on his face as he adjusted his coat, walking back to the main hall. I wanted to stop him and ask a proper explanation but what he said was, made me freeze to the spot. I know I sound selfish but maybe.. I should have let him hurt himself. She was sitting closer to Christian and placing her hand on his
Isabella's POV "W-What?" he exclaimed, staring at me wide-eyed while I was trying to put these words back into my mouth. Damn Bella! "Uhh, well.. I mean, that girl-" "She's the brand ambassador of my company." he cut me off. "We're discussing about the business matters now." he stated calmly but his face was still holding the shock expression. What!? didn't he say that she came here to spend a night with him? "What's going on here?" the oh-so-brand ambassador asked in confusion and we both averted our gazes towards her. "Mia, Give us a minute. We'll be back soon." Christian said hurriedly and before she could reply anything, he rushed outside dragging me along and closed the door behind him. When we realized we were out of range, he stepped back letting me go. "What you said earlier was a lie right?" Christian asked cautiously and I looked at him, furrowing my brows. First of all, he didn't believe my confession and second of all, this was a sign of rejection. He chuckled hum
Christian's POV "Hmm." she muttered, nodding her head and I could see her eyes were filled with tears as she dashed out. I sighed loudly, gulping down the wine and stared at the sky which was completely dark and there was a full moon in the centre which was beautifying the whole night sky. If the dark night was my heart, then Isabella would be that flawless moon. Why the hell did she fall for a dickhead like me? Though.. sometimes.. I wish I were normal so I could live a normal life. She didn't deserve me; I mean, she didn't deserve any of the pain or hurtness or the stupid outburst of mine. I would never ever treat her right, no matter how hard I tried to. She was wrong; Completely wrong. I ain't perfect for her. I wasn't perfect at all. She was a goddess and I was a devil. There was no way in hell we could make a couple together and create a Goddamned fairytale. I knew I had feelings for her too. I knew I had dreamed about her a lot of times in the past two months that I coul
Isabella's POV Dad loves you too. What?!? I stared at her wide-eyed, wondering how on earth did she know to talk these things. "You shouldn't talk like this, Chloe. Promise me!" I said sternly and she sighed. "I promise.. but nowadays daddy is talking more about you than mommy, that's why I just.. guessed." Chloe shrugged and I had a hard time believing it. It's not true right? Right? "Dolly, if you need anything ask Mrs. Green okay? She would take care of you." I smiled, changing the subject and she frowned, hugging my legs. "Don't leave Bells." Chloe whined and I closed my eyes, sighing exaggeratedly. "I have no choice, Dolly." with that I rushed outside, leaving Chloe all alone.----- When I reached my home after a quite long travel, I still couldn't feel anything near to happiness. All I could think about was Christian! Christian! And CHRISTIAN! The Frickin Billionaire! The Frickin Adamant Billionaire! Oh God! I miss him so much! Now I realized that I didn't really l
Isabella's POV "So.. are we cool now?" he whispered, caressing my cheek with his thumb and I hesitantly nodded. "So would you come home back? Because if you deny, Chloe will help me to kidnap you." I chuckled, nodding again. "No need of that. I'll come, but.." "But?" "But don't say anything to my mom. You're my boss and I'm the babysitter of your daughter; that's it, okay?" I said and his forehead creased in confusion. "Why is that?" "My mom has chosen a guy for me and she was still feeling upset because of my breakup with Trevor and I don't think she'd accept our relationship if we tell her now." I explained. "But don't you think things get complicated if we postpone the announcement? What if she starts to do the wedding stuffs?" he asked and I shook my head. "You don't need to worry about that. I'll handle it. Just please don't say anything to her." I muttered stressing every word and he chuckled. "As you wish." he told and I gave him a soft smile. "So shall we go in?" Chri
Emma Davis-Wilson"How long will it take?" I asked, glancing at Hayden through the mirror who was drying my hair with the hair dryer and he shrugged, keeping his full focus on my hair."No idea. Maybe an hour?" He deadpanned and I grunted in response and was about to stand up but he gripped my shoulder and made me sit back on the vanity chair again. "Don't be rushed. Today your hair is more wet than you, so it needs time."I gave him a flat look before speaking. "I'm starving here and you're trying to make some lame-ass jokes.""I stated merely a fact, Em." Hayden said, giving me an amused glance through the mirror while blowing out my hair. "You look cute when you're mad by the way.""So you're implying I'm not cute when I'm not mad, huh?" I asked and he shrugged, setting the dryer down on the table."I guess. Because as far as I know, you've always been mad with me." he stated and I shot him a mock glare."Because you've always been an asshole.""Ouch. that hurts." he placed his hand
Emma Davis-Wilson When my brain processed what Hayden said, I literally started panicking.Why on earth did Christian disclose this which no one had brought up for more than a year?I cleared my throat, trying not to meet Hayden's eyes. "I- um, I should head back. I'm.. tired."Before I could leave, Hayden gripped my elbow making me stop. "No. You can't leave unless you tell me everything.""Wh-What's there to tell?" I played dumb, shrugging my shoulders and Hayden let out a groan in response."Em, why won't you let me know you? Why can't you just open up to me?"I stared up at him and let out a soft sigh, shaking my head faintly. "It's not that easy..""But it's not hard either! I mean, you confessed all of this to Christian but you couldn't even share a single detail of your life to me ever since I've known you? How is this even fair?""Because you've never understood me even in the slightest!" I admitted bluntly and he seemed taken aback as he looked at me with furrowed brows."Wh
Emma Davis 2 years laterI scrolled through my Instagram and when I tapped on his profile, I noticed there was a round circle around his profile picture which meant that he had posted a new story.I instantly viewed it and my eyebrows shot up in surprise when he posted a picture of mine that was taken almost two years ago, in which I was obviously fake-aweing while showing my ring finger to the camera which had a giant diamond ring wrapped around it. And he has written 'Happy Birthday Em! Imy.' below that picture and didn't even tag me.Bruh!Eventhough his wish was so bland, my heart warmed as he has still remembered my birthday and never forgot to post it every year eventhough there were so many things that have changed over the period.Contrary to what I said above, I was still engaged to Hayden and he began the wedding plans three months ago when I told him I finally graduated.I didn't mind when he didn't attend my graduation ceremony. And neither did he mind that I was still no
Emma Davis The worst feeling, in my opinion, was when your life was falling apart and you couldn't do anything but pretend everything was fine as an Oscar award winner.I've had a lot of plans to do on Bella's big day but screwing my own life and being a broken-hearted maid of honour, wasn't one of them.I stood behind Bella with an impassive face, trying my best not to cry while she was confessing her vows to Christian. You may assume I was tearing up because my cousin's finally marrying the love of her life, but no, to be frank, I couldn't even be able to be happy for her, No matter how much I tried. All I wanted to do was, throw up because I was starting to worry that she'd get played too. That even the person you'd be ready to take a bullet for, would pull the trigger.And to make my situation worse, I caught Hayden glancing at my way now and then and it was really hard not to make an eye contact with him as he was straight ahead of me, standing a few feet away from Christian.Ha
Emma Davis "You've got any photo of him?" Hayden asked with a clenched jaw and I was suddenly fazed by his raw anger."No.. why?" I answered honestly as Kyle and I have actually never taken a single decent picture together as he hated being photographed and I never forced him either."How long have you guys been together?""Why do you care-""Just fucking tell me!"I glanced around at the people but they didn't seem to acknowledge our conversation as all of them were too busy to care about anything but Bella."Hayden, we're at church." I hissed and his jaw hardened as if he couldn't care less but nevertheless, he nodded at the entrance."Catch me outside." with that he stormed out and I sighed inaudibly before following him behind."Now tell me. How long have you been dating?" Hayden questioned, the minute we stepped out of the church."It's almost five months." I stated and crossed my arms over my chest. "But what's up with you actually?""You met him at your town?" He asked, comple
Emma Davis Wilson I waved one last time at Bella who was waving back at me through the window of her car.Chloe and Haley drifted off an hour ago and one was sleeping on Bella's lap while the other was in Christian's arms.Christian was totally wasted just like Hayden was, so he called his driver to drive them back home.Hayden has walked out with Christian to send them off and they were still talking, leaning on the car as if they didn't spend the half of the day, conversing with each other.Just as if they heard my thoughts, Christian nodded at Hayden and got into the back seat with Haley in his arms.I glanced around the place and it was a total mess, yet I didn't mind cleaning it all night because it was all worth it.It's been awhile since I've had fun like I had today and suddenly all the memories from the good old days flooded my mind.I smiled faintly, walking around the counter and grabbed the dirty dishes and put them into the sink.Then I put on the gloves, deciding to was
Emma Davis I unpacked the luggage that was lying on the bed when a pair of arms encircled my waist.I looked at Kyle over my shoulder and smiled as he pecked my neck and then my cheek. "Thankyou."I turned around, raising my eye brow at him. "For what?"He shrugged. "For everything. Especially, for respecting my boundaries."I smiled faintly as I, to be honest, didn't even know why I was agreeing to everything he said but maybe my heart was saying he was the right one and I was just listening to my heart.A couple of hours ago, we reached London and he refused to stay with me at Christian's mansion or the guest-house as he found awkward to stay together in a house with people he barely knew except me. So I agreed to let him stay at the hotel and I'd meet him once in a while, and he didn't mind much about my leaving as he had some business arrangements with some people in London too which would keep him occupied.My phone rang, interrupting my train of thoughts and we both looked at t
♡ Emma Davis Wilson ♡I called Hayden for the twelfth time but as per usual it went straight to voice mail.I peeked a glance at the living room and Bella and Christian were having a serious conversation which would be, doubtlessly, about the positions they'd be planning to try on tonight.But I silently thanked God as they still didn't any sneaking feeling, though Bella came to the kitchen a couple of minutes ago, asking if I needed any help and I just dismissed her telling that all I was planning to make was, tea and some popcorn.I tried to give Hayden a call one last time but when I heard the "Hi, you've reached Hayden. Leave a message." I placed my phone down on the counter, sighing heavily.What if I was in danger? He knew I wouldn't call him continuously unless it was serious, but yet this scumbag let his ego win.Way to go, Hayden!I began pouring the tea to the cups from the teapot, trying to think of ways to kill him that'd make his death more painful. Speaking of which, the
Emma DavisI stared at myself and noticed my hair has gotten two inches longer and I've gotten more tan which were not so huge difference, but for me, it was a major glow up.I was seeing Kyle for more than four months and maybe I barely knew about him and maybe I didn't know what relationship we were having, but still he was the reason I was serene again. He was the one who made me forget about the guy who I once thought would be the love of my life.I let out a heavy sigh when Hayden's face popped into my head. To be honest, after I came back home from London a few months back, I haven't had any contact with him till now.And the most important thing was, Christian has found Bella two months ago and they both have welcomed their second daughter, Haley Roberts.Then he proposed to her right after she gave birth and by the end of this month, we were going to celebrate their big day. And no matter how many fights we've had in the past, she inevitably chose me as her maid of honour.It'
