View MoreIsobella POVThe sun rays seeped through the curtains, coaxing me out of my sleep the next morning as the memories of the last night invaded my thoughts. What exactly was going through Brady's mind when he kissed me? Thankfully, Artemis didn't see anything and I was wise enough to warn Brady never to do that again. Artemis had married me against my wishes but I wasn't about to desecrate our marriage vows.Suddenly, my eyes caught a piece of paper on the dresser and immediately, I reached out for it.'I'm sorry about last night. I had an important trip to embark on last night to Nevada. See you soon.' the paper read and even without looking at the name attached at the bottom of the paper, I knew at once it was Artemis.I hurriedly got dressed for the day and with my hair packed up in a messy bun, I made my way to the dining room for breakfast.Immediately I
Isobella's POVOut of the three ladies standing before me, I could only recognize Natasha but I didn't need anyone to tell me that they were all Artemis exes. All three of them had their hands on their hips with a smirk on their faces."Mrs. Lancaster." Natasha called, mockery dripping from her tone. I didn't respond, instead I turned around trying to pull the door open but couldn't.If I had known I would run into Natasha, I would have found another spot to do my business."She's Isobella right?" The lady with the blonde hair asked her company."Yes Kiara." Natasha replied, smirking."It wouldn't hurt if we confirm though." Kiara said with a little chuckle as she made her way towards me. With each step she took, I took two backwards. We continued this way until my back connected to the wall.Don't touch me &
Isobella POVWondering who the person on the other end was, I exchanged glances with Jhena in hope to get clues but she was wearing a blank expression."Sir." Zoey's voice rang in the hallway and at that instant, my blood ceased flowing. Artemis was the intruder — he must have heard all my discussion with Jhena.Shaking with fright, I began to rack my head for things to say to him but couldn't come up with any."Not the right room?" My father's voice came through.What the hell is going on — I yelled in my head as I hurried towards the door. Without thinking twice, I yanked it open and to my surprise, I saw father."Get back in before my boss sees you." Zoey said with a hushed whisper."What's going on?" I asked, confusion written all over my face."I don't w
Isobella's POVDetermined to get him to say something meaningful, I was about to probe further when his phone began to buzz in his hand, sending my words back into my throat."Excuse me." He said and with his phone in his ear, he left my room, closing the door gently."Now there is no way I can convince Braddy my father sold me to him. He will think I left him on purpose." I groaned, pulling my legs to my face.Mentally drained, I decided to get some sleep but the moment my eyes landed on my phone which was lying close to me, I reached out for it then dialed Jhena's phone."I hope she isn't asleep, it's late already." I mumbled, casting a quick glance at the wall clock hanging above my bed."Of course it's late but I'm not asleep yet. I was even about to call you before your call came in." Jhena replied. Her response made my hear
Isobella's POVMy heart continued ramming against my chest as I thought of what Artemis was up to. I was curious but I had my eyes shut — I didn't have the courage to look back at him yet."Isobel, I'm in the dining room. Get ready and come join me." Artemis voice rang in my head and at once, my eyes snapped openWhat — I yelled in my head. A few minutes ago, Artemis was right in front of me but right now, his hand was on the knob.How did he get there without my notice?"I will be waiting." He said and the next second he was out of my room.Not wanting to keep him waiting for too long, I flung the wardrobe open then began ransacking for befitting clothes.Searching for a suitable dress took me a while. It wasn't as if the wardrobe didn't contain clothes, it did but they all lo
Isobella’s POVThe next time I heard footsteps, I turned swiftly and to my surprise, it was the lady who had ushered me in earlier. "Did I scare you?" She asked, her face masked with worry. "Uhm… I'm fine." I replied, wiping the seat off my brow. She kept staring at me for a while before a smile crept to her lips. "Come with me. Your room is ready." Shs said invitingly. I nodded then began to trail after her. A few minutes later, we were standing in a large hallway which had about six doors— four on one side then two on the other side. "Ma'am…" I called. "You don't have to address me formally,ma'am. Just call me Zoey." She replied, still wearing her smile. "Alright, I'm Isobella but you can call me Bella." "Yeah. This way." She said. We walked a bit further before coming to a halt in front of a door. "This is your room. When you have freshened up, you come down for dinner. I made a sumptuous meal for you." She didn't allow me to respond before she turned around and scurried aw
Isobella's POVA gasp escaped my lips. Given the tumultuous circumstances I had faced today, my head spun."What the hell are you doing, Isobella?" Brady, my boyfriend asked in shock as he strode my way however Artemis's men blocked him."Who is he?" A look of confusion clouded his face as Artemis questioned me."I'm sorry I didn't know bringing him along would cause trouble. He was with me when you called." Jhena explained. "You may allow him." Artemis instructed his men and immediately they moved to do his bidding."Brady." I whispered as tears brimmed in my eyes and Brady approached me."Is that a ring I see?" "Brady ple-please, I had no choice." I tried explaining."What about me? What about us? Was this the reason you asked for a break? Just so you could spring your wedding on me?" He scoffed.I shook my head searching for the right words to say to ease the tension but nothing came. I was neck deep in this abyss and there was no way for me to escape."Say the words, Bella and I
Isobella's POV"Can-Can you do me a favour, please?" I tapped his arm to get his attention as we drove down to the courthouse in his black lamborghini."What is it, Bella?" A look of concern creased his face as he stared into my eyes lustfully. How could my body want this man yet at the mere thought of it my heart shuddered? I shook the wild thoughts away hoping that he would consider my request."Can I invite my best friend?" I summoned the courage to ask him after pondering on it over and over again.Besides my father who had betrayed me, Jhena was the closest person I had and if I was to go through with this, I needed her by my side. We had made a lot of plans together."Sure I would hate my wife to think of me as a monster but we won't wait for her if she is late. I need to be somewhere by 6." He agreed to it, to my surprise.I dipped my hand into my pocket and dialed her number hoping that this would not be the one time Jhena would not be with her phone. She would hate herself f
Isobella's POV"I'm sorry, Bella. There was no other way to do this." My father said."A co-collateral. That's all I am to you. That's all I ever was and all this while you were taking your time to sell me to the highest bidder." I murmured bitterly."No, you-""Is-Is there any-anything we can do please?" I stuttered, trying to gather myself together whilst thinking hard of ways to escape this mess my father put us all in. This was all too much for me to take in."I am afraid, there is nothing else you can do. Your father signed you off already." A smirk played on his lips as he strode to the stool before me and retrieved the file on it.My brows furrowed when he scanned it."What is that?" "Now, you belong to me." He waved the brown document in his hands before me before passing it to one of his henchmen."I don't belong to you!" I lashed out at him as it all dawned on me.My father had signed me off on paper like I was some cheap settlement he could use to cover his debt. I had alw
Isobella's POVCome home as soon as possible, Isobella. I need you. There's an emergency.Father's voice rang through my mind as I got off the bus. The sun was bright and the sky clear blue was dotted with fluffy clouds when I arrived at the black gate that led to our house.The cool afternoon breeze washed over me helping me to calm my tense nerves. I took a deep breath and exhaled slowly to clear out the stress that had been building up since earlier in the day when I read the message.I was nervous because my father sounded scared. I hoped he had not done something stupid again. I wondered what had happened to him and I hoped it wasn't what I thought. I couldn't bear losing another parent barely three months after my mother had died.Different thoughts coursed through my mind as I strolled into our apartment on Leighton arena. My mind was racing with thoughts as I closed the door after me. Darting my eyes around the almost empty hallway walls, I wondered where all the artworks that
