In the conference arena, everyone had all come in from the lunch break, been seated, and was waiting for the last person to give the last update.
One of the members of the coordination team came out on stage to welcome the next person who would give the speech.
"Let's welcome Isabella Elvis, a student doctor from the Hackensack University Medical Center."
Isabella Elvis walked up to the stage, making a shy face. She had a red corporate skirt, dark curly long hair, and a black shirt. She looked astonished.
Sebastian, who had been seated close to his dad, stood up in excitement.
"Dad, she is my Isabella; she is the one." He said it excitedly.
"Shut up, young man!" While clutching a throbbing vein in his neck, he snarled at his son.
"Can I have a word with you?" Bianca walked up to Sabastin.
"Not now, Bianca; the speech just started; can't it wait? I mean, we will be together this evening, remember!" Sebastian whispered to her.
Bianca, a 24 year old girl who has been pestering Sebastian since high school, was never happy with Isabella, and she would do anything back in those days to make trouble with her because she felt Isabella was going to be a traitor to her by getting married to Sabastin. She hated Isabella so much. She didn't really love Sebastian at the beginning, but her parents wanted him for her, so she began to love him obsessively. She would rather kill anyone who stands in her way of getting married to him. The whole thing to her, is like competing with Isabella over who will win his heart in the end.
She promised herself that she would fight against her father's influence to have him for herself, and she is definitely not ever going to give up.
"This bitch is out of the moon again; I thought she had died in the motto accident. I wondered why these godforsaken thugs I paid heavily could not carry out a simple task." Bianca muttered to herself while tapping her foot.
She yanked Sebastian’s shoulder, pulling him out in anger.
"Amanda, have you gone nuts? What is the meaning of what you did there? With his hands in his waist.
"Is that why you came back from London? You planned all this, huh?" She gave an uneven smile.
"I see you have lost it; you and I know that I lost contact with that girl after high school; is this the reason you pulled me out here?"
"May I remind you too that we were never dating, we are not dating, and we could never date?" He turned his gaze sideways.
"You are not getting back with that girl,not when our parents are still alive. You know what they want from us!" She said it angrily.
"We are better friends than lovers; remember when we tried something out?" "The first time you visited me in London, just two days after trying it out, you went to bed with my shovel."
"I apologized, it's all in the past, let's give us another chance!" She said this to him, grabbing his hand and placing it on her chest.
"Exactly what I am saying. I thought we had agreed in the past to keep our friendship as plain as we could. We were cool just being friends; why the sudden change of mind?"
"Because I just realized that we are meant to be, we would make perfect couples."
"Quit being delusional!" He shrugged.
With his face glued to the ground, clattering his car keys, he said, "There is something I needed to ask you but I keep forgetting; how did you find out about that accident four years ago?" "I mean, I got that information from you."
"The news was all over the place; did I do wrong by informing you?" She sighed.
"I never said so, just that you never mentioned anything about it again, and you were here in New York City, so I begged you to help me reach out to her at least to get her complementary cards, and you never returned that favor."
"I didn't? I don't think so. I told you I went to the hospital where she was admitted, and one of the nurses told me she had left with her boyfriend." She lied.
Sebastian widened his eyes while fixing his gaze on his wristwatch.
"Can we go inside now?" He asked her.
No, Sebastian, we can't go inside because we are not done yet." She stopped him with her crossed arms.
Bianca still cannot believe that after all these years, their paths will cross again. She is now more than willing to fight to keep Sebastian all to herself; if she can't be with him, Isabella would never.
"Could you leave my way?" Sebastian pushed her off.
"You would never be with that bitch, not when the Jones-Brown family is still the top lead in this New York City." She pulled on his hands.
"That's the problem here; you literally would never breathe without mentioning your family's wealth." He shook his head.
"I love you, Sebastian; allow us to be; we are of the same class; you are my happiness, and I need you to understand that." She looked pitiful.
Sebastian harrumphed, making a condescending smile.
"You don't love me, woman! You are simply sick in the head!" He chortled.
Bianca screwed her face into a grimace and couldn't contain the pain she felt under his words, so she burst out angrily: "I used to think you were a real man, but now I have seen how pathetic and less of a man you are and would be." Isabella doesn't even have class; she is just a common girl who probably would be sleeping around for some money to take care of her fees.
"Leave my shoulder; you are hurting me; you will regret this, I promise you!" She screamed.
Sabastin yanked her shoulder angrily but left her when she started to scream.
Approaching closer to her, he looked her in the face and said, "Don't ever speak of her in that manner ever again."
He pushed her off his path and went inside the conference arena.
Bianca was shocked, as his reaction towards her was like a windfall that came as a bolt from the blue.
"You are mine, Sebastian Swarex!" She said it confidently.
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!"
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
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."
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
