ISABELLAI can't believe it, I can't believe that I'm finally done with exams. I'm a graduate..... although I have graduated yet but still, I'm done. "Hey" Nika came over to me, smiling. She's so happy to. I hugged her and we both giggled. "I can not believe all this" she said excitedly. "Where's Gia?" I asked. "She said Minho is back" she replied. Every single person in our year were all overjoyed. I noticed far ahead was Quincy standing there with a poster that says 'congratulations, my princess!' aww. That's really sweet of him. I rushed over to him and hug him.He's getting bigger than before. He's covering my whole body with just his arms. "You smell so fucking good" I said. He chuckles. "I have something good waiting for you in the car. C'mon" he pulled me by the wrist towards his black sport car. I got in and gasp when I saw something really good. "Is that......" I trailed off as I picked up the book. I flip through the pages. I gasp as I noticed the picture from the beginn
ISABELLAWhy? for a day now, I've been feeling weird, weak, tired. I don't even know what's wrong with me anymore. I keep throwing up my guts which is oddly strange. Nika said I should make sure it's not....... you know? Pregnancy. She went to get me a pregnancy test. I rolled my eyes at it. I can't be pregnant. I always take my pills when he doesn't use protection. But right now I'm getting worried. It's always in the morning. I think they call it the morning sickness. I waited in the bathroom as she helped me open the pack. She hands me the stick thingy. "Urinate in this cup and put it in. After that, you'll wait for five minutes. When you see a red line, it's negative but if you see two blue lines.....you know what it means" she instructed. I took a deep breath before nodding.She smiles at me before walking out of the bathroom. I took two minutes to think about what I'm about to do. Where do I start from if it's positive. I hope it's not positive. I did as she asked and waited
ISABELLAMy parents were wondering why I came back home this late. Ethan was already giving me a look. I smiled at them. "I just missed home so much" I replied. Dad looks at me with a look that says he's suspecting something. Mom only grab my hand and walked me to the kitchen. I smiled at her welcoming. "I'm sure you didn't had anything to eat before coming over" she said. She sat me on the stool and brought out some samosa from the freezer. She puts it in the oven. "It won't take a while" she grins widely. I feel so bad. They don't even know the truth and I don't know how to tell them. I touched my stomach. I looked down at my stomach."You must be very hungry" she said. I look up at her. She smiled at my stomach. I was really hungry, hungrier than usual.I chuckled. "I guess so" I replied. She stood up to go check the oven. I sigh as I stare at her as she works so hard to take care of me. Should I abort the child?..... That will only make things worst. She slowly and steadily walk
QUINCYI couldn't take anymore, I don't really know why I am going to her place right now but I felt like I should. I want to see her face to face. She needs to tell me why she's acting that way towards me. She made a promise to me. She said she'll never leave me no matter what. Why would she do this to me. For the past few days, I've not been able to even close my eyes, I have bags under my eyes. I looked like a disaster right now.I got out of my car and made my way towards their door, I twisted the doorknob and walked in. I noticed Mrs Austin was on the couch. I walked over to her. As soon as she saw me, her eyes widened in shock. I don't get. She stood up immediately. "Quincy, why are you here so early?" She asked nervously. She knows something that they don't want to tell me. "Quincy?" I turn around and looked at Ethan. He gulped nervously before walking towards me. Something happened in this house. "What the fuck are you doing here?" He whispered. I glare at him. As if he does
ISABELLAIt was all a misunderstanding. I can't believe I actually got fooled by her. Goodness, what have I done. I can't call him. He probably hates me now.Maybe I'll call Stephan. No, he should be in France by now, because Nika is there too. I called my brother back again. "What should I do, Ethan" I asked immediately he picked up. He sigh through the phone. "Look, Isabella, I don't control your mind or life anymore. Let it be the way it is. Maybe it's better if you guys don't see each other anymore cause the whole relationship is a total mess." He said calmly. He was right. It's been six years now and all we do is betray each other. "I have to go now" he said before hanging up.I made this mistake, and I can't fix it anymore. I didn't trust him when he needed me by his side. I fucked up big time. How could I be so stupid. Stephan told me to be patient and everything will be fine but instead, I destroyed my relationship with my own hands. I sob on the kitchen floor, not able to
~~~THREE YEARS LATER ~~~ISABELLAI was able to convince mom and dad that I want to come back home with my baby, and they said yes. Right now, I'm in the plane, about to land. I haven't seen my family in years and my family hasn't seen the new toddler that was sitting right next to me. She looks up at me, I smiled and she giggles. She's always like that. She loves funny faces. I sigh when I realized that I'll be going back to a tensed home that may one day ask me who the father of the child is. I don't have the answer to that, that's my only reply. As soon as we got of the plane, I decided to by Kim some ice cream. She loves ice cream. Back then in my labour days, I got sick. The doctor said that I'm not eating well. Honestly, I thought I was gonna give birth to twins because of how big my bump was. But look at this adorable little girl. She's so cute, she looks so much like........I sigh when I just realized something, I was thinking about him again. I stalk his Instagram and X a
ISABELLAWe all had our first dinner since I came back. It was really quiet, I used the silence and tension to feed my baby. "Isabella, I want you to do something for me" dad spoke. I looked at him.I noticed mom and Ethan were looking elsewhere. "Okay daddy" I replied, waiting to hear what he wants me to do. I noticed he was smiling at Kim. "She looks very familiar" he said. My eyes widened. I wouldn't want him to know. "She has beautiful gray eyes" he said. Kim stared at him with a blank face as she chew her food. "What do you think about working in one of my trusted business partner's office..... he's looking for a personal assistant for just two months" he said. I gulp. For goodness sake, I have a baby to take care of. "Dad, Kimberly....." I trailed off. He sigh, looking at mom and Ethan. What are they planning."We hired a care taker for her. You need a lot of rest" he said. I looked at Kim and she stare right back at me with her feeder in her hold, as if she understands what w
ISABELLAThe girls are coming over! I miss them so much. Yes, it Nika and Gia. It's gonna be so fun. Actually, they both are like the best people to get comfortable with. They made me feel like I had friends for the first time in my life. Nina and Katie are still my friends but I'll take this two bitches as my bestie.I never got disappointed at them for anything and they never disappoint me, ever. That's why I made cupcake. I set them on my bed with some glasses.I heard the sound of the door bell downstairs. I immediately left the room and heading downstairs. I heard the sound of giggles as Ethan opens the door with Kim in his arm. Nika was now with the child and Kim giggles, grabbing her hair hair."She's so cute, look at her eyes" Gia tickles her. They looked up at me, Gia rushes over to the stairs with a grin on her face. She quickly hugs me, I hug her back. "I've missed you so much" she said.Nika walks over to me and set Kim to the ground, pulling me into a hug. "it's been a wh
ISABELLA ****TEN YEARS LATER****I get why people prefer their kids in school for a long time. So they can have a peace of mind. Like the way I was before my kids driver brings them back from school. Kim and Kyrie walked into the house bickering about only God knows what. Kim is twelve now and Kyrie is Nine years old. Kai isn't back from school yet. He's eighteen now.I sigh. They both looked at me before rushing towards me. "Mom, Kyrie called a kid fat, she was body shaming" Kim said."Mom, Kim farted in the cafeteria" Kim retorted. It's been like this now ten years now since Quincy and I got married. Everything has been going well though. "You both should stop bickering, Kyrie, Kim is older sister, don't talk to her that way" I said to them. Kyrie squeezes her face. "You guys need to shower, then come down for lunch, okay?" I said. They just walked out on me. I sigh. "You guys better hurry up, Kai is babysitting tonight" I said. They both groan as they make the
ISABELLA "Isabella! Isabella! Wake up!" I could hear mom's voice but the sleep in my eyes was taking over me. I don't really want to wake up right now, I'm too exhausted for that. My body needs a lot of rest, it's like I should sleep on this bed for the rest of my life but I'm just wishing for death. I wonder why this woman is waking me right now, can't she see I don't want to wake up.I grab the blanket and cover my face. I heard a hiss. I pout my lips and when the sleep was about to take over, she pulled the covers off. I whine. "Get your ass up, you're getting married" it's like my body reacted to her words so quick that I sat up immediately and look around me. I looked at the time, it was five minutes to eight. What the fuck am I still doing on this fucking bed. A maid rushed in with a plate of pancakes and orange juice. I quickly started eating."Mom, why didn't you wake me earlier?" I asked. She scoff. I quickly finished the food and got out of the bed and rushed towards my b
A MONTH LATERCALEBI knew she wanted to surprise me, but I wanted to see so badly so I decided to surprise her. She's home, Lily is inside the house in front of me. I slowly open the door and quietly entered. I head upstairs, her scent lingered in the air. I pulled out the velvet box from my pocket and walked upstairs toward her room. I took a deep breath and open the door. "Welcome bac-" my words were cut of and my smile falls. Lilly was on top of a guy. She quickly got off him. The box in my hold falls to the ground. I stepped back in shock. "Caleb......I thought you went for a trip before I arrived and......" She trailed up when she realized her excuse is stupid. I turn around and rushed out of the room, I rushed downstairs, straight out of the house. I entered my car and drove off. I chuckled unbelievably. I can't believe she cheated, the sweet Lily I know is cheating on me right before I almost proposed to her. I was so foolish.I don't know, but my car took me to Katie's d
ISABELLA Why does he work here. I never imagined Jeremy to own a stadium. But I was enjoying the sight of the whole place. It had a plaza, a gym, mall, spa, and many more. I waited at the reception for him. The lady behind the counter which I assumed was the receptionist said he's very busy and I can't meet with him but I'm not giving up now.I looked at my watch and tap my feet. I've been here for more than an hour and this place is fucking big. I'll just have to wait till he comes out.Few hours went by, I got a call from Quincy. "Hey" I said tiredly."What are you still doing?" He asked."I haven't seen him yet. I'm still at the reception waiting for him but there's no sign of him......" I looked around, then I noticed a feature that looks like Jeremy but it was him. "I'll call you back, I think I just saw him" I hung up and stood up, rushing towards him. He was with many bodyguard. I rushed passed them but they held me back. "Jeremy" I called. "Please, I just want to talk to him
ISABELLAAfter having ice cream, we head back to the office and another surprise was here. Confetti everywhere along with balloons and a banner that says 'Congratulations'. "Congratulations!" Everyone exclaimed. Quincy smiled at them. Chris walked up to us with a grain. "Congrats boss, congrats Isabella" he hugs us both. I grin at him. I'm so happy right now. Now I know what it feels to be engaged. It's so exciting, it's like moving into a new level that you are yet to see, like a completely different word. It's just like it was yesterday we met again and I'm already engaged. KATIEI've been working non stop in this hospital, I just want a promotion or something. "Katie, please check on the patient in room seven" the doctor said."Yes sir" I replied, heading to the room. I picked up my pace, I don't want a situation that a patient needs help and I'm not able to make it there on time. I knock on the door then opened it. I shut the door behind me and face the patient. But then, I be
ISABELLAI thought he was taking me home but he was only taking me to his house. Why is taking me to his house? I stood in front of the living room, wondering what I was doing here.Till I finally got the courage to ask. "What am I doing here?" I asked him. He sat on the couch and stare at me with his leg on his lap. He looks so relax. "Let's go on a date after your brother's wedding" he blurted. This guy is just filled with surprises today. I wonder what have gotten into that head of his."W-why d-do you wanna go on a date with me?" Why did I ask that question. He raised a brow at me. Ms Mary walks over to get the kids. "Sit down cupcake" he said. I sigh and took a seat necks to him. "I thought about what you said this morning" he said. My heart beat increases. "I want to start all over again" he added. I smiled. "Really?" I said excitedly. He eyes me. I know he still has feelings for me. "But....." I frown immediately. "But what?" He asked. I sigh. "Do you love me?" I asked. Th
ISABELLAI never thought that that's what is on my mind for so long. Like I've always dreamt of getting married to him. I looked at him with widened eyes. He was also shocked with what I said. He chuckles. "Like, after everything, you think that I'll actually marry you?" He asked. That hurts a lot. He noticed it. "For fucking three years, Isabella. Even if you hated me, I still deserved to know that I have a child but you selfishly kept her away from me." He said. "Forgive me" I said."Take a day off, I'm not going to work anyways. See you tomorrow" Kate came out with Kim's Pink bag. "Everything she needs is in here" she handed it to him. Quincy gave me a glance before walking off. I followed behind him down the stairs. Mom walked up to us. "Are you..... taking her with you?" She asked worriedly. "Yes, I want to get to know my daughter" he smiled, looking at Kim that was sucking her thumb. Mom smiled at him and nod. "I'm sorry if I caused a lot of disturbance last night" he apolo
QUINCYAs soon as I got home, Kai got of his seat happily to come and hug me. I sigh with a smile. He had food in his mouth. We walked back to the living room. "Why so happy?" I asked. He grin at me, this kid."Because my uncle is my best friend" he said excited. "And, I have a sister" he spilled. What's this kid talking about now. "A sister......" I raised a brow. He nods. "Yeah, okay" I said, about to walk away but his words stopped me."She two years old and she leaves with mom" he said. It's not really possible, did she tell him that? "Who told you that?" I asked. He looks away from me."Anthony?" He said. I rolled my eyes, that jokester? He may probably be teasing him. I sigh and nod before walking towards the kitchen. Kai was following me, why is he following me? "So.....when are we going to meet my little sister?" He asked. I sigh and looked at the kid."There's no sister, son. Anthony was just messing around with you. Forget it" I said. It's really upsetting. I know that I w
ISABELLAHonestly, I couldn't imagine myself in a restaurant with Quincy as we wait for the Harry James he was talking about. He gave me some work to do when I was thinking it'll just be a peaceful brunch. I was filling some paperwork, it's actually his work not mine. I got tired and placed my head on the table. "Are you trying to sleep at work hours?" He snapped me back up. I eyed him with a glare."You should be happy I'm doing your work for you" I hissed. I grab the paper in my hold."Maybe you don't get what it means by assistant. You are to do whatever I ask for" he replied. I scoffed. So annoying. A man walks into the restaurant, he started looking around till his eyes landed on Quincy. He smiled before walking towards us. "Mr Grey" he spoke. Quincy looks up at him, he stood up and so did I. "Mr James, it's good to see you again" they shake hands. I smiled at the good looking man. "This is my assistant, Isabella Austin" Quincy introduced. I Shaked his hand."It's nice to mee
