ISABELLAIt's been three days since the death of Emma. I can't believe such thing had happened in that school. We have to stay home for a week so that they can clear everything up. I still felt bad, she was always nice to me. I'm such a bad person."Don't don't really need to go" Ethan held my shoulders. I look up at him. Today is her burial and I feel like I need to go there. I just want to be there and give my condolences to her family, I was never really helpful just because I was jealous of her."I want to" I replied. We were all dressed in black. Something happened the night before her death when I got home, I really wanted to tell my brother but this concerns Quincy more. It was more scarier than a horror movie. I sigh, but I think this wasn't a suicide. "What if it's not a suicide?" I asked.I should shut up now. Ethan looks at me like he's totally shocked to hear that from me. I have a feeling this wasn't a suicide case. Someone pushed her down the roof, I know it's the truth.
CALEBI didn't expect a knock on my door at the middle of the night. Mom and Dad were asleep so it's probably Katie. Maybe if I ignore, she'll probably forget about it. But the knocking didn't stop. I groan in anger. She's kinda frustrating me through out this break. Thank goodness tomorrow is school, she won't be able to bother me again. I walked over to the door and open it. "What do you wa-" she pushed me aside and steps into my room. I sigh in annoyance. I slowly turn around. "Katie, this isn't the right time for....." I trailed off immediately I faced her, her robe falls down, showing her bare skin."Repeat it again, I didn't quite get you" she said seductively. I alluringly walked towards her and smashed my lips on hers, she giggles through the kiss. I started to take off my shirt at the process cause I was erected from just looking at her. She helps me with my sweatpant which I'm grateful for. She grabs my hard on and stroke it. I moved her backwards till she falls on the bed
ISABELLAActually, for a second, the feeling of being kidnapped makes me so scared. How did I end up in that situation. But then, when the window of the car slide down, it's as if God sent a miracle angel my way. "Get in the car, now" Quincy said. I immediately entered the car. He speed up the car. "Someone was following me-" he cuts me off immediately."I know. I got a call from an anonymous number" he sighs. I furrow my brow in total confusion. Why would I have a stalker. It feels really creepy. "But don't worry, everything is gonna be fine" "Is it because I'm seeing you?" I asked. My brother had told me about this, I don't want to he the next in this murder case. "I thought you trusted me. Why are you saying this?" He asked. I sigh. How does he expect me to feel, it's all too obvious."I'm sorry, but I just feel like something will go wrong somewhere" I replied. He held my shakey hand. "That's why you need to be careful. If Ethan finds out about this, he'll also know that we
THIRD PERSONIsabella had already blacked out at the moment. She lay there hopelessly as Alex slowly raised her shirt up, trailing kisses all over her neck. He didn't get to far when he was pulled by the shoulder, a punch landed on his face. Quincy hovers over him and beat the hell out of him. Throwing punches here and there till he groan in pain and release blood.Quincy rushed over to Isabella and sat her up in his arms. "Issy baby" he called but he got no response. He noticed the white rag on the floor. He must have drugged her. He thought. He looks at Alex who wasn't there anymore. He quickly dialed the police number and help Isabella up. The police and ambulance appeared soon enough, they carried her into the truck. He stood there, patiently waiting for her family to arrive.QUINCY"Quincy....." Isabella's father rushes over along with everyone. Her mom freaked out. Ethan held her and cover her with blacket. "What happened?" Ethan's dad asked."Well, isabella came to get her te
ISABELLAToday's cafeteria lunch is really nice, it was spring rolls and pizza. Everyone in the cafeteria sat there focused on her food or either talking about it. I look up at Katie but still she wasn't eating which was weird. "Katie, are you okay?" I questioned. He looks up at me a bit startled. Katie doesn't usually get upset about something except it's more than what she can take. "I......had a fight with Caleb" she spilled. Jeremy and Nina looks up at her. ****Flashback****KATIEI followed Caleb upstairs towards his room but the door got slammed at my face. I banged on the door but he didn't answer me. "Kay, open the door please" I pleaded. I kept hitting the door but he refuses to answer.I sat on the floor, my back resting on his door. Why do I feel like I've done something wrong. My chest is beating so fast as if something painful was about to happen.After like an hour, I heard the lock meaning he unlocked his door. I wasted no time to open the door and walk in. He just s
ISABELLA I felt like the ground should just open and swallow me whole. My brother was right in front of Quincy's door. I'm gonna pass out. "Quincy..." I muttered, looking at him with pleading eyes. He stood up and pull me up on my feet. He dragged me towards his walk-in closet, far towards the hanged suit jacket and pushed me behind them. "Don't come out till I come to get you, okay?" He said. He looks so calm, I don't even know how he does this things. "Okay" I replied. He slowly starts to walked out. I could hear the bedroom door open, although it was faint. "Hey man" Quincy said. I heard footsteps, causing me to be more alarmed. "Hey, I've been banging on this fucking door. Why didn't you respond?" That's Ethan's voice. "Sorry, I had to use the toilet" Quincy lied. "Nina have been acting weird towards me for a while now, do you think she......" I try to put my ears to it but he didn't complete the sentence. "You know what I mean" he said. "Ask her yourself, dude. You're the
ISABELLA My head was aching like it was smashed on a hard wall, it hurts so bad. I sat up immediately, although it was hard but I felt like if I didn't, I'll die and never wake up again. "Finally, you're awake....." I know that voice, the voice of an angry mother. "Now I want you to tell me when you started drinking?" I glance at my window to see her sitting on the couch. She looks mad. I chuckled nervous. "Hey mom, how you doing the fine, beautiful Saturday?" I asked. She glare at me. "Oh my goodness, you're glowing. Have I ever told you how beautiful you are?" I said. She didn't say anything.I sigh, if she won't say anything then I won't either. "You little......" She trailed off, holding back her anger. "Maybe you feel like you're sixteen and whatever, you feel you can do whatever you want. That's not how things works" she yelled. "Mom, calm down, you're shouting" I whispered. What if Dad finds out about this."Don't ever tell me to calm down young lady. Your Dad kept saying i
ISABELLAI don't know why he got startled all of a sudden. We got into the car, he looks around again as if someone was watching us. "Quincy, are you okay?" I asked. He didn't answer.He drove far away from the beach. "Someone was watching us" he utters. I gasp and stare at him. "I'm sure of it. There were footsteps on beach that weren't there earlier when we came" he explained.Who could it be this time. My heartbeat pick up immediately at the thought of someone watching us. I wonder where we are going to right now.He stops his car close to a mall. "Quincy, is everything alright?" I asked again. He smiles and nod. He sounded like this is his life. "I'll be alright, soon of course" he assured. "Don't worry about me" he rubs my shoulder. I nod. Sometimes, I wonder if Quincy had ever loved anyone. It was quite silent in the car so I decided to break it with the question that has be ringing in my head. "Quincy, have ever been in love before you know.....me?" I asked. He tensed up and
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
