Author's point of view... Lissa was dumbfounded as the revelation hit her like a thunderstorm but no matter what, that stubborn woman didn't melt. Though she apologised to Izzy, that apology didn't come from her heart. She hated Izzy and that hate was not something that could be lessen in days. Izzy was sad more than shocked. Claudia was her brother's wife. Though they weren't in a good relationship, Izzy respected Claudia so as to respect her brother's decision of life. But when she heard Michael's confession, she felt a pang of heart ache settling in her chest. Daniel was a pure man with a golden heart. Helping everyone, smiling away all the tensions of life. He was like a sunshine and at last, he died in the hands of a woman he dearly loved. Izzy sighed but didn't utter a word. After revealing everything, Dan dragged Michael out of the room and soon after, Izzy and Robert walked out as well. As they left the hospital, Izzy thought they were heading back to the mansion,
Author's point of view... When Nola heard Robert's words, she wasn't pleased. She was the most talented designer in the world and people die to get an appointment from her and here her boss was questioning her choices of dressing. She was furious. But just as she wanted to object, she saw the look on Robert's face and decided against it. He wasn't unsatisfied with her choice but was overly possessive about his little wife. It was true though, Izzy was extremely beautiful that even her Hearst flutter when she first saw her dressed. Taking few deep breath, she decided to bring out the least attractive dresses from her collection. Robert didn't want Izzy to look so stunning in the banquet as he didn't want others to see her. After a while, Izzy walked out of the salon in the less attractive dress, her shoulders slightly slumped. The dress was dull, with long sleeves, and despite the warm weather, she had no choice but to wear it. The vibrant energy she had felt just moment
Author's point of view... "I don't want anyone to see you..." Robert said, as usual, seriously but there was also a hint of flirting in his tone. Izzy’s heart skipped a beat. There it was again, his possessiveness. But as much as she was unsettled by it, she couldn’t deny the warmth that spread through her chest. She was his...! What kind of feeling is that? She wondered. And even though his ways were harsh, there was a strange comfort in knowing he would do anything to protect her from his world. Wasn't this what every girl wanted in her husband? Wait...! What the...!! She looked at him, eyes widened in surprise. Did she just accepted him as her husband? How could she even think that?? Izzy fidgeted uncomfortably in her seat, patting her flustered cheeks. This man is confusing her too much, getting bolder and bolder in his actions. She felt hot all over and bit her lower lip. She never imagined that Robert would turn into someone so flirtatious. It was like turnin
Author's point of view... Selina nodded, satisfied that Helena had calmed down enough to go along with the plan. "But you must be patient. We can’t afford to make any mistakes tonight." Helena agreed, whereas, in her mind, she was already plotting something far more malicious than mere humiliation. Tonight, she would do more than just embarrass Izzy, she would break her down. Back at the banquet table, Izzy's unease grew as she watched Selina and Helena re-enter the room, their faces composed but their eyes gleaming with something sinister. Robert sensed her discomfort and gently squeezed her hand under the table. As the evening dragged on, Izzy couldn’t shake the feeling that something was about to happen. She tried to focus on the conversations around her, but every time she caught Helena’s eye, a chill ran down her spine. "What the heck is wrong with that girl...!" Izzy gritted under her breath. She looked up at Robert and noticed that even though he wasn't interested
Author's point of view... Robert’s body felt heavy as he slowly regained consciousness, his mind hazy and his surroundings unfamiliar. The dark room was stifling, the air thick with heat that only added to his disorientation. His head pounded, but amidst the discomfort, he caught a familiar scent—sweet and soothing, that slightly made his heart at ease. "Izzy.." he muttered to himself, relaxed. It was Izzy’s shampoo, the sweet fragrance that always encircled her. His heart calmed slightly at the thought of her presence, but his confusion deepened when he felt someone snuggle into his arms. "Izzy is right beside me..." an unknown smile tugged on his lips and instinctively, he wrapped the person in his arms, groaning as she moved against him, her body pressing into his already feverish skin. Dizzy and still reeling from the drug, Robert tightened his hold, his mind barely keeping up with his senses. "Izzy, what are you doing?" His voice was hoarse, a mix of confusion and
Author's point of view...Helena’s protests were cut short as she was pulled out of the room, leaving Robert gasping for breath. His illness was already triggered, and the excruciating pain that he felt in his entire body made him paralyzed for a moment. Soon, he noticed that the pain reduced, but his body felt as though it was on fire, his vision blurring as the heat surged through him again, worse than before. What is going on?? Izzy rushed to his side, panic evident in her eyes as she tried to help him up. But no matter how much effort She put in, she couldn't lift him. She saw him struggling with pain and her heart ached for him. "Robert, are you okay? We need to get you to the hospital!" she said worriedly. Robert looked up, still weakened by the drug and the recent attack on his body, grabbed her wrist, and shook his head. All he wanted now was not a doctor but her. Then suddenly, with a strength that surprised even him, he pulled her onto the bed, his grip tighte
Author's point of view... Noah cursed himself for bursting into the room in an awkward situation. He hung his head and walked in again but never dared to look at Robert or the young lady on his lap. "Boss...I...was..." "Shut up..." Robert grunted and Noah immediately stopped his stutter. Robert just asked him one thing. "Is everything ready?" "Yes, Boss..." Noah obediently replied, "Everything is ready, and I..." Noah wanted to explain everything to his boss but was cut off immediately. "Get out..." Robert grunted and Noah stumbled towards the door. Exhaling deep he rushed downstairs. All this while, Izzy was staring at Robert; she even forgot to blink her eyes, causing a layer of tears to form in her eyes again. As soon as Noah left the room, confirming that everything was arranged, Robert was standing up. Izzy smacked out of her trans and tried to snuggle away, but Robert's grip slid down to her back, and he held her tighter. She wanted to say something but all her wo
Author's point of view... As Helena and the others saw the smug smile on John's face, she thought that the tables have turned. Her brother, had finally did something better in his life. She stood up and abruptly pushed away those guards to walk herself out. Though the guards tried to stop her, they hesitated as their boss looked somewhat surprised himself. Robert was still unconvinced that the powerful people out there were here for John but for know he thought that it was better for him to stay calm. John walked to him and sneered. "It was you who played with the wrong guy..." John muttered disdainfully and was about to step out but Selina rushed over to him. "Honey, are they here to help us?" Selina was so happy with everything that was happening. It was like a dream come true. First time in her life, she was actually proud of her husband but all her happiness was choked in her throat as John pushed her away. He looked at her, narrowed his eyes and smirked. "They are here t
