FATES ENTWINED CHAPTER ONE
ISABELLA“Good morning ma’am,” My secretary Nancy greeted me as I stormed through the reception headed to my office. I walked into my not so large office and sat on the creaking old wooden chair that belonged to my dad when he was CEO.As I sat on my chair, I finally replied to Nancy. “Good morning Nancy. Has Mr. Parker reached out to us yet?”“Yes ma’am,” My heart began to beat fast as I waited for Nancy to speak up. Mr. Parker is a crucial business partner that I badly needed to get this company back on its feet.“Well, what are you waiting for Nancy, spill it!” I said as I pounded my fists on the table showing my impatience.“He said he’s not interested in our proposition,” She announced, squinting her eyes probably in fear of what my reaction would be.I let out a sigh and stood up from my chair, looking at the tiny window in my office. Mr. Parker was the only option I had to get this company back on its feet. My father’s architecture company wasn’t thriving while he was alive b

ISABELLA“I'm sorry, what?” I asked with a widened eye, shocked by what Alexander had just proposed.“I believe you heard me right, Miss Bennet,” he said with an arched brow and a smirk formed at the corner of his lips.“I did but can you explain all this to me?”“My 30th birthday is on the way and in my father’s will it says that if I haven't gotten married on or before my 30th birthday, I will be removed as CEO,” he explained.“Okay, so why am I your best bet?” I asked still surprised about the whole situation.“You aren't the best bet. I don't even know why you're acting like this. We both know how badly your company needs the partnership. I'm even running at a loss by sparing you some of my clients and getting married to you also,” he said in a rude tone that infuriated me.“I'm sorry, but did you just say marrying me is running at a loss?” I said as I pushed the chair backward and stood up.“I didn't mean it that way. You know what I mean. So please have your seat and tell me if

ISABELLAMy luggage was taken by a staff of Alexander’s. As I walked up the grand staircase to the entrance of the mansion. “Good evening ma’am. You must be Mrs. Isabella,” One of the staff that stood by the entrance greeted me“Yes, I am,”“Alright ma’am, Mr Alexander is inside waiting for you. Allow me to take you to him,” He said as he walked me into the house.“Thank you,”The house was the most beautiful place I had ever been to. The walls were painted white, with golden furniture.It was definitely the house of a rich person. I was greeted by the cool breeze of the air conditioner. My father got us an air conditioner about 20 years ago but it didn’t take long before it got spoilt and he decided not to fix it or buy a new one.The house screamed luxury, from the exquisite paintings to the glass vases filled with different types of flowers.We got to the living room and I met Alexander sitting on a long C-shaped chair facing his 22-inch flat screen tv. “Sir, the lady is around,”

ISABELLAIt’s been over two weeks since Alexander and I got intimate and we never talked about it after that night. It felt weird that it was barely a week since I had moved in that we had sex.We both went about our daily activities like nothing happened.“Ma’am, John is waiting for you outside,” Lisa said, bringing me back to the present.“Oh, thank you,” I said as I stood up to walk outside and meet John, the chauffeur Alexander assigned to me.He was already standing by the car waiting for me to come outside so he could open the door. “Good afternoon Madam,” he said as he opened the door.“Hello John,” I replied to him as I entered the car and he closed it.“Where are we headed, ma’am?” He asked me as he slid into the driver’s seat fastening his seatbelt.“You should know my home right? That’s where we’re going,”“Alright ma’am,” he said then turned on the engine and took off.I was going to my home to visit my sister, Olivia, I hadn’t seen her since I had moved in with Alexander

Alexander managed to stay calm as he talked, ‘Hey man, isn’t it rather rude of you to barge into my house and cause a nuisance here? You don’t have courtesy for anything? Is that how you paupers behave? The mysterious man continues laughing, “Did you just call me a pauper, he said; If not that I am in a good mood, I should have landed a blow on your face. Do you think you can keep all this property to yourself? For your information, I am Nathan Mayors, the rightful heir to these properties and I have come to take everything from you…I mean everything!”. Alexander becomes furious; “You must be out of your mind! How dare you walk into my house and insult my personality?”, he said angrily. I was dumbfounded and didn’t know if I should calm Alexander or insult the mysterious man turned Nathan, I forced myself to mutter out some incoherent words, “Ehm Alex… Nathan cuts in, “you won't say anything in this matter young woman”. His face looks red and burning with some fuse of resentment. “

Immediately, Alexander snapped back to life... Oh, he had been so lost in his imaginations that he forgot he was on the road.He just escaped a near accident scene.He managed to get his head up as he slowly drove back home.Alexander still couldn't believe his ears. As much as he tried to forget the events of the day, reality kept pushing them back to him. “How could dad have a child outside wedlock and even keep it as a secret for this long”, he muttered as he blast the horn of his car to call the attention of the gateman.I tried sleeping but my eyes wouldn't close, I was so lost that I did not even know when Alexander went out, it was the sound of his horn that brought me back to consciousness. I checked the time and it was few minutes to 1am. “What could he be doing out this late”, I said to myself. I stood up to go down, that was when I realized I haven't even removed the clothes I had on. I managed to change into something light and shower before going down to check

In no time, I was done dressing up. I wore a navy blue gown laced with a red belt radiating with a flow that wasn't ordinary. I kept feeling myself as I walked down the stairs to the garage; John was already there waiting for me. “Good morning Ma”, he said with a thick voice that sounded like a rushing water. This was the first time I am particularly noticing his voice.“Good morning John”! I responded. “You look elegant this morning”, I said to commend his look:; my usual practice to everybody I meet daily.“Thank you ma”, he responded with a smile on his face; I could guess I just made his day with my polite complement. “Where are we heading to”, he asked.“My office of course, today is a money making day”, I said jokingly.John tuned in to a radio station as we journey, the music sounded so absent to me but John seems to enjoy every bit of it; in fact, he literally sang it as it was been played. So many things could have been responsible for my absent mindedness to

Alex watched till I finished the meal, he won’t even taste out of it, he said it was specially made for me. After the meal, I hurried to the bathroom to get set for work.

So you aren't even bold, who or what would attack you inside the house, you better be calming down, he said as he sat at the edge of my bed“You scared the hell out of me, more so you did not even knock”, I said still trying to catch my breath.I remembered I was on call with Olivia and I had to reach out to my phone“Olivia, I am fine, we will talk better tomorrow”“You scared the hell out of me, anyway be fine my dear sister, we will talk better tomorrow”.“So Alex, why are you here?”“Okay, so I thought to check up on you before sleeping”, Alex replied“That’s so thoughtful of you Alex, thank you so much, I am fine actually, I never knew the pain is still fresh in my memories”, I affirmed to him“But that was very emotional , I wouldn't have believed you have gone through so much in life, I so sorry for having you ta

Dad's strongest supporter is gone; family of four has been reduced to three, what fate await children with no mother”, I continued my talkAs strong as Alex was, he himself can't hold back his tears, I could see the merciful side of him, his tears reminded me of my innocence won that hospital bed. How I was lost and did not know what to say or do. Seeing dad cry even made it worse, it was so obvious that nature ha cheated on us.“The doctor walked up to dad and encouraged him to be a man, of a truth, the doctor could feel our pain and empathise with us. We were led outside the house and mum's remain was parked, the end of a journey had come and the rest of us needed to move on”, I continuedAt this point, I could no longer hold my tears again, it became a solemn moment in the room.

So I said “My childhood story is a roller coaster of emotions, it's a mix of laugh and cries, pain and love, rejection and acceptance”, are you sure you want to walk through that kind of reaction? “ I asked with a funny look“Well, we have all the time so we really don't have to bother it's going to be late”, he responded excitedly“okay so, lets have it”, I said“I grew up in an environment of love and care, my mother had married my father in her mid 20s and my dad was just a few years older than her.

Every day, Alex seen to be going all romantic on me; he kept on showing the side of him that you could never imagine exists, who would have believed this hard man is romantic after all?

As John zoomed off, I kept looking at the weird face heading towards the car , the face looked a little familiar but I can't place it and the fact that it's raising curiosity in me makes it more dramatic; I could swore I have seen the face before.“Who is that?” the weird looking man asked Quincy“It's none of your bloody concern, let's go straight to what we are here for”, Quincy responded as she walks“You won't talk to me like that, he said as he walks towards her in anger.“See Nathan, whatever it is we do is strictly limited to what we share, every other place I go, any other thing I do and any every other people I move with is non of your bloody business”, she shouts at him loudly“Oh, I know your plans, you think you can robe me and expose me rig, right?
