ISABELLA I didn't want to come to school today. Honestly, I just don't want Ethan asking questions. So I decided it was best to go, even if I didn't want to see you know who. It was really a tough decision to make since this morning. I left earlier because I wasn't comfortable in that house anymore, especially when he's around. I switched off my phone and took everything, calling my driver to come pick me up at three in the morning. It was really hard convincing him because it was too early. He's a really nice man, he still considered my safety. I didn't say much when I got home. I woke Ethan up when the car pulled over, he was shocked to see me home. He did ask how was the sleepover but I didn't know what to comment. I felt bad so I told him it was okay. I had to make up an excuse that I didn't take my books and I really needed to study. But that morning, I couldn't still sleep, nor read. I stayed up all night crying about how stupid I was to take off my clothes. What was I think
ISABELLASchool was over. I had seen Vincent earlier and he asked me to wait for him in front of the parking lot. I stood there waiting for him. But instead, those four dudes came out if the school. Ethan stares at me for some seconds before he walks towards his car. Quincy, Caleb and Edward follows after him towards their own car. I sigh. I need to apologize. Vincent appears in front of me. "Hey darling" he smiles. He has dimples just like Quincy. "Hi" I smiled. He grabs my hands gently and I could feel a million people staring at me and I know it's just four. "Shall we go?" He asked. I nod my head, mainly because I want to leave those stares. I watch as Emma walks towards Quincy's car and got in. "Let's go" I replied. He pulled me towards a Lamborghini. "Wow, is this your car?" I asked. It's not like I've not seen it before, Quincy uses like five different of them and my brother has two. "Yeah, you like it?" He asked as he opens the door for me to get in. I got into the car and
ISABELLAI was in the living room, texting on my phone. Ethan came downstairs with his car key. "Let's go" he said. I look at him."You go ahead, I'll wait for Vincent" I said. He looks at me for some seconds, releasing a sigh. He walks towards the door and slammed it shut. Soon after he left, Vincent called me that he was at the front gate. I begged my driver to drive me out of this compound due to how far the entrance was. As soon I got out of the car, I rushed out of the gate. Vincent looks at me and grin. "Hi" he starts."Hey Vince" I replied. I got into his car and he drove us both to school. "So are we like suppose to hold hands or something?" I asked. I don't really know how to do all of this "Yeah, I guess we'll start from here" he said. We made it to school. Pack of students staring at us. We got out of the car and I can't imagine the amount of people that are whispering and murmuring as they look at us. I noticed Quincy, my brother, Caleb and Edward were staring at me li
ISABELLAHonestly, this is my first time going to a party, I am really nervous right now. Nina, Katie and Jeremy were all in my house right now, Nina helps with my make-up after she got dressed while the Jeremy helps with my hair. Honestly, I'm shaking like hell right now. "Chillax girl" Nina said as she lining my eyes. I couldn't even see myself, I can't breathe or anything, I'm just being patient but my patience is running out of time right now. "You have a beautiful blonde hair" Katie said. "It's so curly. I mean, when Quincy sees you tonight, he won't control himself" she sings. I rolled my eyes. Honestly, this is all just because of Quincy. I could've not go to the party but I really wanted to show him that I can be like those girls too. If he feels I'm not up to that standard.Jeremy helped me curl my hair now my strawberry blonde hair is bouncy. After they were done, I looked in the mirror. I stood up and saw myself fully. I look...... different, like it's not me. I'm weari
ISABELLAI can't believe this is happening, Quincy is in my room, on top of my bed, with me underneath. It feels like a dream come true. I never imagined this could happen all of a sudden. "Are we gonna......do it?" I asked shyly. He rubs my thighs slowly, placing his lips back on mine. "Bella?" I fell to the ground immediately Quincy got off me. My eyes flutters open to the bright light shining in my eyes. Wait, light? I sat up and noticed it's morning. I frown. It was all a dream, again? I sigh. "Bella" Ethan helps me off the floor. I groan as I got up. "Are you okay?" He asked. I thought for a second, what part was a dream, is it the party or Quincy. "Today is what?" He asked. Then a hard drumming-like sound hits my head. "Ouch!" I cry. For a second, I became dizzy and my eyes became somewhat blurry. "What is this?" I mumbled. He handed me a pill and a bottle of water.I swallow it and drank the water. "I told you not to drink, but you didn't listen" he said. Did I.......oh. u
ISABELLAWe were all in the cafeteria. I don't know to break the news out to them. Where do I start from. "Bell, say something" Katie said impatiently. I sigh."Guys....." I called. "About last night" I started. Nina glares at me. "I couldn't remember what happened after I left the party, but......"I trailed off. "But what, Bell?" Nina spat out making it hard to say it. "I remember now" I said."Okay?....." Jeremy encourages me to go on. Isabella, just say it. "We really kissed" I blurted out. Nina stared at me. They all did. "You don't me Quincy, right?" Katie asked. I look at my lap. I feel embarrassed. "Bell, is it Quincy?" She asked and I nod my head immediately."Seriously, why would you kiss a guy that embarrassed you in front of everyone. The guy that always makes you cry?" Jeremy asked. "But it's not like that now -" Nina cut me off immediately."How is it, Bell. Don't tell me you're planning on hanging around with him. He will ruin you to the core" she said before gettin
ISABELLA I got dressed in a navy shirt and black short skirt, I tie my hair in a ponytail and head down stairs. I heard a strong male voice that brought a smile to my face. I look ahead of me. "Daddy!" I exclaimed and ran up to him."Princess" I hug him. "Oh, I've missed you so much" he mumbles. "I missed you so much" a tear drop from my eyes. I pulled away and look at him. "What did you bring for me" I asked. "I brought a lot" he whispered. "Shoes, bags, and I know your glasses is wearing out so I got you a new one" he said. I hug him again. "My little nerd" "Dad, you didn't get me anything?" Ethan asked. Dad rolled his eyes, and glare at him. "It's not fair, I'm your son" he said."You're not my baby. Ask your mom, you're mommy's boy" he replied. Ethan stood up and ran to the kitchen."Mom" he whined. I laughed. Ethan is always sloppy and whinny when our parents returns from trip. "Darling, I have something to tell you. In fact, mom and I have something to tell you kids" he smi
QUINCYWaking up to a tap on my shoulder. "Quincy" it was obvious it is Ethan. I groan and open my eyes. "You didn't tell me you were spending a night?" He asked. Is that seriously why he woke me up. "Your Dad insist I spend the night. How was the circus fair?" I asked. He sigh with a smile."It was fun, you should've come" he said. I rolled my eyes. He chuckles. "Hey, did my sister come down stairs?" He asked. I yawn."I haven't seen after dinner" I replied. She was actually my dinner so I wasn't totally lying. I just twisted the truth. "Oh, okay, maybe she's asleep. We brought ice cream for her but I guess we'll keep it in the fridge till tomorrow morning" he shrugged. "Whatever, can I sleep now?" I asked. Like he was really annoying me right now. I hate when someone disturbs my sleep and he knows it. He sigh before turning around and walking out of the room.Finally, some peace and quiet.ISABELLAWaking up covered with sweat, I slept really well. This was one of the good nigh
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
