ISABELLAAfter Quincy had finished his meal, it was remaining the both of us in the kitchen. I don't know why everyone left us alone here. He turns to look at me again, it was the same look he was giving me earlier."What?" I asked. He turn his body to my side. He looks at the ground, his grey eyes bore into mine. They remind me of Kim. "You're hiding something from me, I really want to know" he said. I gulp, he watches me carefully. "Isabella, what are you hiding from me? I wouldn't like to find out from another person" he said, it sounded like a warning. I looked away from him. He stood up from the stool. "If you want me to forgive you......you better open up" he said before walking towards the door."Let's hang out together" I blurted. He stops on his track. I turn to face him and so did he. "Let's......go on a date after work tomorrow" I said."No, I won't..... it's better we keep our distance. And also keep ourselves professional" he replied before walking out of the kitchen. I
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
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
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
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
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
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
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 ****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
