Isabella’s POV
I stay over at Carter’s place Friday night, we eat, watch tv then make love in that order on repeat. On Saturday we decide to go out for dinner in a rooftop restaurant in Queens. After dinner we go downstairs to leave and someone who knows Carter stops us, a friend I think.
Carter doesn’t introduce me to his friend, making the whole situation awkward even his friend looked awkward at the whole situation.
I mean he doesn’t have to introduce me to his friend as anything, this is Isabella could have sufficed but instead he shook hands and talked to his friend while I stood there looking between them.
Even when his friend asked who is this Carter? He still didn’t say anything, I had to introduce myself.
Hi I’m Isabella. I said with the best fake smile I could muster. The drive from the restaurant back to his apartment was quiet, I almost just asked him to drop me back at
Isabella's POVI leave Carter's apartment early Sunday morning, he drops me off at my place and drives off to Connecticut. I spend the morning playing tennis with my father, it's one of the things we do regularly though I have canceled in the recent weeks since I started working for Carter.My father and I are pretty much close, he loves me alot and I love him alot though treats me like a defenseless little girl hence our differences but other than that we get along well.By Monday morning I was already missing Carter, after spending two whole days with him. We texted constantly when we were apart, I almost can't believe we're now in a relationship I'm literally so happy and filled with excitement.When I head into work on Monday my department is in chaos everyone running around."Hey." I say to Paul dropping my purse on my desk."What's
Isabella’s POV My body tingles with another sip of my bubblegum martini. It’s my third glass and it’s only tasting sweeter on my lips, it’s a week day and I’m not supposed to be drinking but I’m so fucking nervous after the day I’ve had at work. The tips of my fingers always feel the turning point first when I drink. That familiar buzz that makes my body feel a bit heavy and my mind light, I hardly ever get drunk I had a horrible experience in college and I still have ptsd hence the reason I hardly drink. “What’s going on with you today? You’re drinking, alot.” Lydia says into her wineglass looking at me weird. “Yeah what’s going on and it’s a week day.”Alessia adds. “I have news guys.” I say and they all drop their drinks their attention all in me. “We’re listening.” Alessia says almost eager. “I have a boyfriend.” I say a little smile on my face. “You know I knew it,” Lydia says turning to Ales
Carter's POV I drank the sight of Isabella in she looked like she was in pain, so beautiful even in her pain, her long, dark hair lying in loose waves and her gorgeous eyes shimmering with tears and fear. Suddenly I felt guilty for asking her what happened to her, there's obviously a reason she's so scared of being in any locked space. Even her apartment is very open with large huge windows everywhere, and ofcourse how undeniably scared she was the first day I met her. "What happened to you?" I ask again. "I was sexually assaulted." She says then she sighed deeply like it was something she had to get off her chest and my heart crashed to a stop before resuming a fast, erratic beat in my chest. "Well he didn't technically rape me, he almost raped me but it's like he took a part of me with him that night." She explain
Isabella’s POV When I woke up, I could feel that my eyes were swollen. The room was dim, curtains drawn out, Carter must have carried me to the bedroom last night. I pressed the automatic curtain opener on my bedside table, the curtain opens and I could see that the sun was out completely. I moved the blanket that was over me to the side. Carter must have done that. My heart squeezed. Carter. He had taken care of me. I felt so safe around him, I have never actually told anyone the extent of what happened to me in details. The only people who knew what happened to me was my parents, then my two best friends Alessia and Lydia and ofcourse my friend Demi and I didn’t tell them anything in detail. I sat up, and despite my sore eyes, I had
Carter's POVI have been putting off meeting George my best friend for days now and he has been hounding me. I told him to cancel the background check I asked him to do on Isabella but I have a feeling he didn't, I honestly don't care what's she's hiding I want her and she wants me nothing else doesn't matter.I leave Isabella's apartment not willingly, I can't get enough of her I don't want to get enough of her, honestly I'm obsessed. I have never felt this way about any woman and I don't want it to end.I head into one of George's famous clubs and go downstairs into a little private office he works sometimes at, I was supposed to meet him hours ago but instead I was with Isabella."Is he here?" I ask his personal assistant."In his office." She nodded toward the stairs, but I was already headed in that direction. I knew the layout of the place we play poker here every first Saturday of the month with a couple
Isabella’s POV I didn’t hear from Carter since he left my place yesterday night in a hurry to meet with his friend. I sent him a text when I woke but he hasn’t replied yet, anyway I’m not worried I’ll see him in the office and ofcourse our relationship has never been better we’re in a very good place right now. “Hey you.” Ryan says joining me by my desk. He’s one of the only friends I have made since I started working here. There aren’t alot of female workers in my department. He’s a software engineer like me and has a great senses humor so we get along well and technically there are only about 2 other female software engineers here but they work with a different division hence me being friends with Ryan only. “Hey.” I say sitting down. “How are you feeling? Heard you were sick.” He says then I remember I didn’t show up to work yesterday, Carter had called the office and said I wasn’t coming. Now thinkin
Carter’s POVJohnny and I watch Isabella walk back into the office building before I turned to him, his face filled with questions.“You and Isabel?” My brother Johnny asks raising his eyes a mischievous grin on his face.“Isabella and I nothing.” I say trying to avoid the whole topic.“Oh my God, she’s the girl you’re obsessed with. I get it now that’s why you were so adamant about me staying away from her.”Johnny says still grinning.“I’m not obsessed with her and stop that.” I say pointing at his face.“Stop what?” He asks his grin expanding.“That grin stop it.” I say and he laughs.“You know I don’t get you, why wouldn’t you just tell me you’re interested in her and I would stay away.” Johnny says. “You didn’t have to go all macho and kis
Isabella’s POV Carter is acting super weird, I mean he sometimes acts odd but this is just blatant weird. He left my apartment last night without so much as a goodbye and when I called him he didn’t pick or return my call. I just don’t understand men, what the hell is his problem? If something is on his mind why won’t he just talk to me about it instead of acting weird. And he hasn’t been in his office all morning, I checked twice. His secretary is practically tired of seeing me and I suspect she knows about me and him. My phone rings and I quickly grab it to see if he’s calling me back but it Alessia my best friend. “Hey where are you? I’m downstairs.” She says immediately I answer her call. “What? Downstairs where? I’m at work.” I say through the phone. “Yeah I know, I’m at your office. Can you tell them to let me up, I need some bestie audience.” She rants through the phone. “Yeah of course I’
Isabella’s POVA helicopter just dropped us at our villa in Milan for our honeymoon, we just got married exactly 5 hours ago.We haven’t exactly been alone in months so when Carter looked at me with those hungry eyes I knew what it meant, I have been looking at him like that every single minute of every day.His hungry eyes drop down my body and, as if unable to help it, he runs his hand down my chest and cups my breast through my white ethereal wedding dress. “I like you dressed like this.”“I prefer you naked,” I retort and he smirks.He puts me over his shoulder and marches up the hallway to the bedroom, he slowly slides me down his body
Isabella's POVI gave birth to our beautiful baby boy Leo 6 weeks ago. We didn’t know the sex of the baby till after I gave birth, Carter had guessed a girl and I guessed a boy and I was right.That didn’t change the fact of how happy we both were, Leo is beautiful. He is perfect.Having a child truly is like having a piece of your heart outside your body, and that feeling is both as wonderful and as terrifying as it sounds.Our family and friends all came to visit us in the hospital, everyone so happy for us. My dad was especially happy when we named the baby after him Leo.We only stayed a few days in the hospital before we finally went home. To our home, which we had renovated making it ours.
Isabella's POVMy mother had come over to New York, I had only seen her once since I told her I was pregnant and that was months ago. I’m now 7 months heavily pregnant, she came to visit for only a day and Carter and I took her out to dinner to also celebrate our engagement with her.We had an amazing dinner before she went back to New Jersey immediately after dinner, it was good to see her. I like having her around but I almost never see her, I mean she has a whole new family with her husband which sometimes makes me jealous that she isn’t that much in my life but I try not to let it bother me that much. Besides I have my father around all the time and he loves me very much. I don’t even miss her that much with my father around, he makes it up by being in my life constantly.My mother and Carter have also set up a r
Isabella’s POVCarter and I have decided to make it official we’re now living with each, we’re renovating his penthouse. Making it our home, adding in a nursery for our baby.After a day of selecting color scheme for the nursery I went to our bed, crawled under the covers, and fell asleep with a smile on my face.Carter woke me up two hours later. His lips were skimming my shoulder, his fingers lazily tracing down my waist, over my hip. He was behind me, curved around me, molded to me. “Are you awake?” he whispered.I made a soft moaning sound to let him know I was.He kissed a spot below my ear, and then he asked, “Is this okay?” As he kis
Isabella’s POV “I think I should go.” I say dropping my fork everyone around the table eyes on me.“Are you okay baby? Do you feel fine?” Carter asks concern flashing across his face.We’re having dinner with his family in his childhood home in Connecticut. We had made plans to have dinner with his mother weeks ago but she was going on a cruise with her new boyfriend so we postponed it to when she was back.She got back yesterday and we’re a family dinner to celebrate my pregnancy. Everything was fine when we arrived, she gave Carter a hug kissing him and she also hugged me congratulating me. Telling me how happy she was to have a grandchild.Then we sat down for dinner and she started.
Isabella’s POVI wake up from my nap almost an hour later checking the time to see it’s 1:30am in the morning. Carter isn’t back in bed yet so maybe he isn’t yet back. I put on a silky robe over my next to nothing sleepwear going downstairs to find something to eat. My sleeping pattern is still messed up and this baby growing inside me is deeply in love with anything cheesy.Using the service in house elevator to go down kitchen, I hear voices coming out from the kitchen.I walk in joining them finding Carter and his brother Johnny and sister Stephanie they’re all laughing and talking about something when they notice me.“Bella!” Steph exclaims excitedly jumping down from her stool to hug me.
Carter’s POVI’m with Isabella back in my place__our place I’d like to think, she has been asking me to tell her what I talked about with her father since last night. And it’s not like I’m refusing to tell her about our conversation, I just don’t know what her reaction is going to be.“Isabella,” I say in a singsong voice. “Come on, talk to me.” I kiss the delicious column of her neck and bite down on her earlobe.She jolts, which makes her tits bounce, and I can’t believe the stirring that occurs in my groin.“Why wouldn’t you tell me what you talked about.” She asks.“Because it’s not anything you should be worried about, it wa
Isabella’s POV I called my mother immediately I went back home telling her I’m pregnant, she was happy and promised to come into the city next week to take me to lunch so we can celebrate. Then I go out to brunch the next day with my best friends Lydia and Alessia, I update them about everything and almost immediately they start planning a baby shower for me which is insane. I’m only 8 weeks pregnant, I’m not even yet showing.Finally it’s Saturday we’re having dinner with my father and grandmother, I’m very nervous and Carter is barely nervous which is weird because he should be.“Are you ready?” I ask Carter before we enter the elevator up to my father’s penthouse.“Yes I&
Isabella’s POVI’m meeting my father in the country club, he just got back from he traveling yesterday. Normally when we meet at the country club, we have lunch and play golf or sometimes tennis. It’s like our thing, besides I’m kind of a daddy’s girl well when we’re not fighting about how he still treats me like I’m some defenseless little girl.I’m greeted by one of the country club workers Austin as I step in.“Good afternoon Miss Davis.” He says opening the door for me.“Afternoon Austin and like said please call me Isabella.” I say with a smile. “Is my father already here?” I add asking.“Yes he’s outside on the patio,&rdquo
