Surprise visit

"Perhaps, we are both mistaking," Kim said, looking at Isabella. "Maybe he just took her out because she wanted him to. Remember that night, it was Yvonne clinging to David and not the other way around."

Isabella stared at Kim worriedly. "Do you think I was too quick to judge them. Besides, Yvonne is David's best friend?"

"Yes, exactly. David doesn't seem to be the type to cheat on you," Kim made it clear to Isabella.

"Well, you're right. How could I have thought otherwise. I let my jealousy cloud my sense of reasoning," Isabella said, letting her fingers rake her hair.

"Well, it's not your fault Isabella. Anyone in your shoes would have done the same thing," Kim said.

"So, what do you suggest I do now?" Isabella asked worriedly. "Should I call David?"

"I will suggest you go over to his place and see him," Kim said.

"Yes, you're right," Isabella said, keeping the cup of tea on the table. "I should go to him right away. I even went as far as dismissing him yesterday,

"What are you guys up to? Don't get me wrong. I don't mean to intrude," she added hastily.Isabella smiled reassuringly. "No intrusion at all. We were just enjoying a movie."Yvonne's lips curved into a mischievous grin as she brandished the wine bottles. "Well, I brought wine," she announced cheerfully.David, ever the gracious host, chimed in with genuine interest.

I start my job tomorrow and I need to wake up early in the morning, so I can arrive at the company in time," Yvonne said standing up."Of course, Yvonne," David said with a smile. "First impression matters. Sleep tight, good night.""Good night too, Yvonne," Isabella said. "Sweet dreams.""You too, guys. Please carry on," Yvonne said and left the sitting room. "She must really be excited to start her new job tomorrow," Isabella said tentatively. "Yes, she really is. I hope she impresses her boss," David said. "Well, she's a smart lady. She'll definitely impress him," Isabella said positively. "Are you staying over?" David asked. "I wasn't thinking about that. Thought I would go home and crash," Isabella said cleverly. "Trying to play smart, huh?" David asked as he stood up. She bit her lips and nodded. "No, I'm—""Shh," David said and carried her in his arms. "What are you doing David?" Isabella aske

    Dawn Of LoveHe focused on her mouth, then back to her eyes again, then back to her mouth. ‘Isabella,’ he whispered. He said her name so softly. She was not even sure if his mouth moved. She didn’t have time to respond. His hand slid through her hair at the same moment as his lips connect fiercely with hers. He slid his body on top of her, and his kiss instantly became intense. Deep. Dominating. His kiss was full of something that’d never been there before. Full of feeling. Full of hope. "Ah.. my dear, I never want you out of my side. You are so amazing."He leaned down and kissed her, his fingers started moving rhythmically inside her, his thumb circling and pressing. His other hand scooped her hair off her head and held her head in place. His tongue mirrored the actions of his fingers, claiming her. Her legs began to stiffen as she pushed against his hand. He gentled his hand, so she was brought back from the brink … she come instantly again and again, falling apart beneath him … th

"How are you doing?""I'm doing well, you?" Kim asked, keeping her eyes on the water on fire. "I'm doing well too," he said. "I know my call was unexpected. Sorry.""No, you don't have to apologize," Kim said quickly. She saw the water had began to boil. "Can you give me thirty seconds? I just need to do something very important.""Alright dear," Henry said. Kim kept the phone back on the table and went to turn off the gas after bringing down the kettle. Her hand mistakenly touched the kettle and she screamed. "Is there a problem?" Henry asked, worriedly. "No, I just burned my hand," Kim said and laug

Chris seemed kind whenever he was around David but after hearing from his employers of his mean demeanor, she didn't know what to believe again. "Well, fate just brought us together. I am your boss and you are my secretary," he said, with a smirk. Yvonne nodded. "Will you fire me?""Hell no! Why will I do such a thing? I'm not that men or heartless.

You guys succeeded in killing my husband and making me a widow and my daughter, fatherless. Guess, you forgot, an eye for an eye. Look over there," she said, pointing. Isabella followed her finger. She saw David tied up, down the garden. "How did you get my husband? Release my husband now, before I call the police on you.""Don't be stupid, Isabella. Did you think I came without a plan?

She needed to think, to plan. She needed to make them pay.Her first stop was to collect their daughter, Emily, from her sister’s house. Emily had been staying there for the past few weeks while Chris was on the run. Yvonne’s sister, Melissa, was supportive but wary of Chris’s lifestyle, and Yvonne knew she’d have to be careful about how much she told her.Melissa answered the door, her face etched with concern. "Yvonne, what’s going on? I heard about Chris on the news. Are you okay?""No, I’m not," Yvonne said, her voice steady but cold. "Chris is dead.
