Isabella's POV.
"Hello Miss!" A voice came from behind.
Looking behind me is one of the security guards I had met earlier in the day, before my speech. He was the one that shoved me to this place, as I was confused about which of the halls the conference would be taking place in.
I was a little bit late to this event; the cab driver who brought me was damn too slow, and my school is a lot of miles from here. I would have missed it, and this wouldn't be good for me at all. This is the first time my school is sending me to represent an update course at Hackensack University Medical Center. It is indeed a great honor and privilege, and I must say I did a great job. I could see it in the eyes of those consultants.
"Miss, there is a young man standing just down the hallway waiting for you; he has been there for some minutes now." The guard said to me
"Ok,but who could that be?" I asked him, but he looked very confused as well.
"Sebastian Swarex!" I shrieked excitedly.
"Yes, I am Sabastin!" He was startled.
HUGGING.
We hugged each other so tightly. Sebastian was so nice to me in high school. As one of the billionaire's sons in our class, it was expected of him to mingle with other high-class students, but he didn't. Rather, he chose a different path for himself; he was very kind to me and always on his own. He never bragged about his father's money. We became very close and the love birds of our class, but all that ended after school. We lost contact.
Isabella, you have not changed; you look breathtaking and more gloomy now. I must say your beauty is head-turning."
"Can I hold your hands for a second?" He asked me.
I felt those sparks again; his soft hand instantly activated the adrenaline hormones in my body. I felt the butterflies in my stomach again.
"This is my complimentary card; please call me so we can hang out and talk." I said to him.
"My heartbeat was racing fast for nothing, and I was very certain that it was the Isabella of Egypt in that handbook."
"Please, take my card as well. My bodyguard has my suitcase. I don't want to lose this card because now that I have seen you again, I am never going to let you go." He gave me a kiss on my hand.
Hands clapping.
Bianca sighted us, and fury dimmed in her contact-lens eyes.
"Well done! Well done! Bianca Jones clapped her hands.
I shrank away from her as she got closer.
"Welcome back from hell; why didn't you die in that accident?" You bitch!" She snarled.
Oh, she knew about the accident and never came to visit me in the hospital; she never even cared to tell Sebastian." I thought under my breath.
"We haven't seen each other in years now, and this is what you have to say? You have not changed one bit, Bianca Jones!" I shook my head in disgust.
She propped her hands on her hips and scowled.
"Just so you know, Sabastian and I are having a flamboyant date tonight at one of the best hotels here in New York!" She snorted.
She walked towards Sebastian and his waist and grabbed his face, saying, "Right sweatie! Go ahead and tell her how our parents paid for a luxurious hotel for our first date as couples."
"What couples?" Sebastian yelled.
Sebastian dragged her to a corner while I crossed my arms and watched the drama, even though I could barely hear a word they said.
As much as I hate to admit it, I felt really bad about her words. I feel so jealous looking at both of them together, but I have to put my emotions in check.
"I don't think I am ready to give us a chance; I wouldn't want to get burned in this fire; the Jones family is very powerful." I thought to myself while I looked up, trying to stop those tears from rolling down my cheek. I can't give her the pleasure of seeing my tears.
"Have you lost your mind? How dare you call us a couple in front of Isabella?" He groaned.
"All for what? To make her angry or jealous? Tell me, bitch!" Sebastian asked with disdain.
"You had better erase all the memories you guys had in the past; you know better than anyone that you both can't be together."
"What do you see in her? What is it that you see in her that I don't have?" She turned around.
"Isabella is not just beautiful; she is well-mannered, cultured, and industrious. She is peaceful; she would make me a better man, which you can never do for me."
"Getting married to you would be signing a deal with the devil itself." He said to her,
"You are very ridiculous; it is very shameful to think you would leave me for Isabella, a low-class nonentity who has no worth."
Sebastian yanked her arms, and she screamed: "My father will learn of this; your Isabella will pay for your mistakes, mark my word."
"You are a fool; when I thought we could be friends, you made me realize that nothing good could come out of the friendship."
"I can't continue watching these two; I have to go now before Sabastin's father comes out." I muttered
"Isabella! Isabella!" Sebastian's voice called out.
"Please wait; it is not what you think!" He screamed.
"It's high time she realized she had no place in your life." "It's good she left."
"Shut up! Crazy-bitch Sebastian snarled at Bianca.
"The driver would be here in 10 minutes to pick us up for our date. My dad had taken care of our bills, and here is the open check he gave us." She smiled.
Sebastian scrunched the check, tore it into pieces, and poured it on her face.
"In your dreams, that will happen." Sebastian pushed her away.
Author's POVSuddenly, power was disrupted, and Sebastian and Bianca were trapped in the elevator.Both are very mad at each other. They said nothing to each other and wouldn't stop eyeing each other."Sebastian!" Bianca finally talked to him."Are we just going to be in here ignoring each other?" She asked him.All that Sebastian is thinking about now is how to get back to the love of his life. Everything is looking quite cumbersome, and he definitely didn't see any of this happening. He never imagined he was going to set his eyes on Isabella again after five good years. He thought he had moved on, but that was all a lie. He feels more drawn to her now than before.Sebastian tapped his head and tried to shake off all this thinking."Sebastian, talk to me at least!" Bianca pushed him close to the elevator door.She tried to come close to him, but he pushed her away and faced the wall.Bianca spotted when Isabella gave him the complimentary card, and without thinking much, she gently t
At 4:45 in the evening, Sebastian was seen all alone at the pool site in his house, thinking about how to get back to Isabella as he just had one week left to go back to London.He had a glass of wine in his hand and was walking from pillar to post, scratching his head, and suddenly:"No No No !" He screamed aloud.He threw away the glass of wine and jumped into the pool."I have to go and call her. Yes, the complementary card she gave me." He smiled like he had a solution already.He rushed to his room to get the card that Isabella gave him earlier today at the conference center."I'm very sure; I put it in my back pocket." Damn!" He sighed."This is my only chance; I don't even know where she goes. What do I do now?" He sat down on the ground with his hands on his head.His head began to swirl the more he thought about all these issues.Sebastian grew up as a loner; he doesn't have any friends here in Altona, New York. The only friend he has is Sullivan, who is studying in London wit
The next day, Sebastian goes to the office, although he was a bit late because it was not really something he was doing from his heart. He had to come and save the company a million dollars just to save Isabella's life."I know who my father is; he is so cold and sometimes impassive when he is out to deal with someone he thinks could stop him from getting what he wants." He thought to himself.The doorbell rang."Come in." He said"Good morning, sir. The investors are already seated in the conference room; they have been here for the past hour. Your dad had to talk to them and plead with them to give you some time because you got trapped in traffic." The PA narrated."Is okay. I will be with them in 10 minutes; please let them know that I am already in my office.” He said and scowled."But sir____" Sebastian interrupted her."Please no, but go ahead and do as I said!" He shouted at her.Diana, his personal assistant (PA), shrank away with her two hands on her face in case her boss
After the media had left. Mr.Sebastian went straight to his office accompanied by his security guards and his personal assistant, Diana."Please can everyone leave already? I want to be left alone!" He snarled at them and they left.Few minutes later there was noise in the background that got his attention."Please ma'am you can't go in, my boss said no one should come in, he needs some time alone." Diana said, blocking Miss Bianca."If you don't leave my way now I will destroy that useless face of yours!" Bianca said to her, making a grimace of disgust.Bianca pushed her away, yanking her hair and gave her a slap that Diana let out a loud cry. "What is going on here?" Sebastian asked them."You have to fire this your stupid personal assistant immediately, you have to fire her ASAP before I call the security on her." Bianca groused.Sebastian crossed his hands, made a face of disappointment at Bianca's drama and didn't just want to say anything to her."Sebastian, are you just not go
Sebastian clenched his fists and gritted his teeth as he turned back to look at Bianca who stood with Crossed arms in her chest. He waved at his bodyguards and they drove away.Soon after Sebastian left for the police station, Bianca was spotted talking with someone over the phone making body movements that looked like she was giving an order to the person."Please sir, on no account should you listen to Sebastian. He will be at your office very soon. I want that girl sleeping over at the station tonight." She said to him, furiously.Sebastian arrived at the police station. Without greeting the officers, he asked to see the officer who came to his company and arrested one of his staff without notifying him."How could you come over to my company and arrest my staff without my consent?" He asked while clenching his fist.The chief DPO of police came out from his office on hearing Sebastian's voice."What is going on here?" He asked confusingly.The Police guy on blue dyed hair spoke up
Sebastian's POV.This is a week and some days now I haven't heard anything from my Isabella. She can't even call me. I Know she is just being too careful so she wouldn't get into trouble with my dad or Bianca's family. I love that girl with all my heart and I would do everything within my power to have her back in my life after 5 years. In a few days from now I will be going back to London for my studies.I threw myself to my bed and faced the ceiling thinking about my Isabella.Few minutes later there was a knock at the door. I said to myself, is probably my annoying Dad so I wouldn't bother getting in the door.The knock continued and the person wouldn't talk. I wobbly walked to the door to open it.Opening the door is the last person I want to see in my life right now, Bianca. I held the door grip while opening the door a little bit to look at her annoying face. She looked calm and I was surprised though. "What are you doing at my house? I thought I was very clear when I told you
Isabella's POV."Am so excited Noel, we are meeting this evening." I smiled."You never told me with whom you are having a date with, besides I haven't seen you this happy in a week now, after the day you saw Sebastian." Noel said to me.Dr. Noel is my senior colleague, one of the newly employed house officers here at Hackensack university medical center. He has been my best friend and he is like a brother to me even though sometimes he could be annoying. There is nothing about me he doesn't know and we love each other but on a platonic level."I called him last night and we agreed to meet at La Quinta Inn & Suites five star hotel." I said to him in excitement."You haven't told me who you are having a date with, you are seeing a man now? Remember you have to be more focused now than before, your final MB exam is coming next week." He frowned."Why are you always over protective of me when it comes to the opposite sex? I am not a baby. I will be 25 in a month's time." I said to him pr
Isabella arrived at the exorbitant seven star hotel that Sebastian had booked for both of them. When she arrived she felt so excited to be in that kind of high-priced hotel. She checked her wrist watch and the time was 3pm on the dot. Isabella took a deep breath and hurriedly made her way into the hotel. She was anxious and a little bit unsure of herself to match Sebastian's taste and desires."It's been 5 good solid years since we last saw each other, until some weeks ago. I just hope he will still appreciate me the way he did in the past." She thought to herself while seated at the expensive lounge decorated in gold and silver shades. She looked so beautiful in the red gown Sebastian had bought for her. It fits and hugged her curves perfectly.It Has been over 30 minutes and yet she hasn't received a call from Sebastian and she became so distressed. She tried to ring his cellphone but it kept on saying it was not reachable."Why is Sebastian not here? He assured me he would be here
Two weeks later, the two lovers continued to miss each other. Today is the long-awaited graduation day, and Isabella is very excited. After seven years, she is now a medical doctor. Isabella earned several awards, including the award for genius of the class and the best graduating student. She also received gifts from her lecturers as an honor for her excellence. It was already past 1 o'clock and her aunt had not come; she began to feel bad and worried. Cell phone rings She rummaged through her purse and pulled out her phone to find out who Sebastian is. She became very excited. "Oh my love, a very big congratulations to you; I am so proud of you." Sebastian congratulated her over the phone. "I am so proud of you, and I can't wait to return home to celebrate you in a special way." Isabella, despite being happy with his call, was uneasy about her aunt, who hasn't shown up yet. She glanced at her wrist watch and sighed aloud that Sebastian could notice that all was not well with
"Arizona, are you hiding anything from me?" Sebastian asked him. FLASH BACK Dad, you must do something. Sebastian is planning on going on a date with Isabella. You have to stop them; you have to do something about it." Bianca said to Dr. Lucan Please, he must not know that I told you about his plan; we are friends now, and he is beginning to trust me as always." Bianca said to him. "Dad, this is the address of the hotel they will be staying at." She gave it to him and hurriedly went back to Sebastian. Arizona, who had ease dropped on them, flashed back and sighed. "We will be at the place shown on the G****e map in 10 minutes, sir; it would be nice to call her and notify her." He said to him. "Arizona, it is unbelievable how you can hide something from me. I know you are hiding something from me, but I don't know exactly what it could be." He scowed. Arizona glanced at him again through his side mirror and sighed. "Dad, instruct the security guards to turn off the WiFi so he w
Sebastian dialed her number again and again. He had tested her a million times and had no intention of stopping. He is not abandoning the lady of his dreams.In the meantime, Noel proceeded to assist Isabella with her swollen face. Just as he was about to leave to get her some sustenance. Isabella rushed to her phone to read the thousand messages Sebastian had left her."I have sent you countless messages; I have called you a million times, but you would not take my calls; I am sorry for disappointing you; I would love for us to see before I get to the airport; I am returning to London today," Sebastian wrote in the message.She read through all of his text messages, but the portion that struck her was when he mentioned returning to London today.Isabella stood up and started scratching her head as she walked from pillar to post. She longs to be with her true affection. An unknown voice had warned her to keep away from Sebastian. She is dealing with a number of issues. She wishes to s
At exactly 5 a.m., Isabella woke up from her sleep and looked around, but couldn't believe herself. She would never have imagined this could happen to her. She wobbled up and went straight to the security guard."Good morning, sir. Thanks for allowing me to stay here last night." She thanked the security guard."You don't look well; your eyes are all swollen, and there are bruises on your face. You need to visit the hospital." He felt pity on her."I will be alright. I just need a favor from you. Please, could you help me power my phone? Where is this place? I mean the name." She said to him.Yes, of course, why not? Let me have the phone."Isabella gave him the phone, and he helped her power it for a while.'How far is medical college from here?" She asked him.Well, it depends on the means of transportation; if it is by train, it takes about 3 hours, and if it is by car, it takes approximately 2 hours." He said to her.Please, sir, can I have the phone now? It should have charged a
Sebastian hurriedly came out of the bathroom, feeling a lot better. He dried up his body and wore his clothes. He foraged the room for his phone again and saw it right under one of his pillows. He took a deep breath. At least he could call Isabella, but unfortunately there was no signal on his phone."Why is there no signal on my phone? This is totally strange; it has never happened before." He muttered angrily.He left his room to go to the ground floor to see if the signal strength there could be better, but it was even worse. He looked at the time again. It was 8:20 p.m. He went to the living room to see if he could find his dad there, but his hand wasn't there."Oh no, my dad has gone to bed, and I wouldn't want to disturb them." He sighed.He went to one of the security guards to complain, and the guy too was surprised why there was no signal. There used to be unlimited wifi."Have you checked the network router in the power house?" The security guard asked him."No, I have not."
