"What happened here?" Leo asked but got no response from Isabella who sat in daze, her hand on her dress was shaking and there is a visible fear in her eyes. Leo looked around for any clue but everyone was going about their businesses. What the hell happened and why is she like this? He helped her up, took the cart. While holding her, he went to the front desk and paid for what she picked. If she haven't paid for the items, what did she use the money to do right now? Does it have anything to do with why she is crying and looking all shaken up? Once they were outside, he kept whatever she bought in the back seat and helped her to the passenger seat.The ride back home was filled with Isabella's cries, her hands wouldn't stop shaking either. "What the heck happened and why are you crying?" Leo asked in frustration as he stopped the car by the road side. Her silent sobs were begining to get on his nerves and the fact that she is staying mute without saying anything to him riles him up
Isabella woke up with a pounding headache, she sat up on the bed while holding her head. Dried tears could be seen on her cheeks, she cried herself to sleep a while ago and she is more than glad that no one came in or wake her up. Turning around, her eyes landed on the wall clock and she gasped. It's past 4pm, she missed her 2pm class. Isabella grabbed her phone and saw several missed calls from Jane and about five messages from her too asking why she didn't show up for the class and if anything was wrong. Isabella sighed and dropped her phone, she wouldn't have been able to go with her face swollen. Removing the bedsheet from her body, she came down from the bed almost staggering to the mirror, staring right back at the girl looking at her. She look disheveled with her hair scattered on her face, her face swollen and her eyes red as a result of crying for too long. The shadow of the past still haunt her in the present. Her mind went to Leo, the infuriated look on his face when s
"I am hearing you clearly Jane, you don't have to shout" Isabella informed the other person on the other side of the phone, she is certain Jane will roll her eyes at her even as she is not there with her. "Do you know how worried I was? I tried so hard to hold myself back from coming into your house, what the hell happened? You didn't show up in school, neither did you pick my calls. Are you okay?" Jane asked, it was obvious in her voice that she was truly distressed and worried about Isabella."I am sorry, I didn't intend to make you worry. I was just a little bit down but I am better now" Isabella apologized. "Are you sure? Your voice sounds hoarse" "You don't expect my voice to sound nice when I just woke up from sleep do you?" Isabella replied trying to be convincing as much as she can with her little white lie."Okay, let me believe you then. We were paired into two groups each for an assignment though and you are my partner which makes everything easier. Since we are going t
Leo's hand moved from her breast to her body, sloppily touring her body with his hand. He moved his hand from her thigh to her stomach and then to her butt, giving her a spank. Even with her pant on, she felt the pain, there's nothing so good about being spanked, Isabella believed that spanking is purely exaggerated in most of the romance books she has read in the past. She closed her eyes in savoury to the kind of feeling she is getting from her nipple being bitten, she felt like she's on cloud nine right now but the pleasurable feeling died down the moment Leo moved his mouth from her breast to her neck. Just as he was about placing hickeys all over her neck, his phone began vibrating, cutting their fun short. Leo muted the call as he place soft kisses on her stomach, the phone began ringing again. Both his and Isabella's eyes went to the phone and he groaned before standing up from her body. He checked the caller ID and discovered that it was Sean. Why is he calling him? While L
Isabella was already fast asleep before Leo came back from his hunt. They did get hold of the manager and he is now in their custody, they've tortured him with all types of punishments necessary to get him to talk but he was too weak to have lost consciousness before they could even start torturing him the way they want. How could he have thought of running away with Leo's money when he is that weak? Until he gets his money back, Leo will continue to make him miserable everyday and that will continue tomorrow. As long as he is with them, that man will not go away with a single penny. Leo will never allow that. Leo turned on the light of his room to see Isabella sleeping peacefully on his bed, she haven't forgotten the fact that she is to sleep in his room everyday even when he is not around. A small smile crept up on his face as he thought about how flustered she was looking this evening when he left her and went out. He knew she wasn't pleased but she didn't say anything to him. S
Isabella didn't know how to react after he said that to her, he has hurt her numerous times whenever he wants to pleasure himself but he never for once apologized to her for the way he treated her in bed but he just did. That fact melted her heart, it might sound insane but she would let him use her anyhow he wants if he will at least show that he knows he is going to hurt her this way. At least he knows but he is sorry, she would understand that. She couldn't say anything to him and held the sheet tightly for support as he plunge himself into her. Even as he told her he wasn't going to be gentle with her, she could see that he was trying to hold himself back in case she'd get too hurt. For the second time, Leo didn't bother to plunk out of her and released every drop of his semen inside her before collapsing beside her on the bed. Maybe she'd feel the pain later but at that moment, Isabella felt like she is numb and imune to pain. She just stared at him with mixed emotions as he
"You are late Miss Grayson" the professor said the moment Isabella entered into the class. All the attention fell on her, thanks to Leo, she came late to class and unfortunately for her, the professor was already in class. She bowed her head in embarrassment and apologized to the professor. She was just five minutes late, why did the professor come very early today? "I am sorry ma'am" she muttered. "Come in and take a seat" the professor said. "Thank you" Isabella rushed into the class, Jane waved her hand at her and she went towards her. The class was settled again after she sat down, that was embarrassing. "You didn't come to class yesterday and today, you came late. What have you been up to?"Jane whispered into her ears. The both of them were not paying attention to the lecture. "I had a situation yesterday so I couldn't make it to school and today, I had to wait for the person bringing me to school to have his breakfast and I woke up late again" Isabella defended, giving her
"Thanks to you, we came late to class. We should be grateful that Mrs White is not in class just yet" Isabella reprimanded as they sat down in the second row. "It's all good so stop scolding me" Jane replied with a grin on her face, Isabella shook her head. She is still bothered by the fact that her phone number was given to those guys, her heart has been thumping in fear ever since. She won't be able to face the consequences if there will be any for her because of this. She just recently started getting close to Leo, she doesn want anything that will jeopardize that right now. "I have been thinking about it, both Ryan and Evan wanted your number. Is it that the both of them like you? Or does the two of them share the same girl? I am sure it's not friendship they want from you from the look in their eyes. What if the both of them truly want you?" Jane questioned with wide eyes like she just made a huge discovery. Isabella stared at her in disbelief. "What are you saying, how is th
Isabella came out of her room fully dressed. There was a smile on her face as she came out of the elevator. She felt like she had won a lottery after both she and Leo settled their differences. Isabella hasn't been this happy in a while, she can't even describe the exact way she feels. She oddly couldn't explain her feelings but she knows that she is excited. "The smile on your face is luxurious" Adam whispered in her ear and she grinned at him. She is way beyond excited knowing that Leo has accepted her, he offered them a new beginning and she will stay by him. That's enough for her for now. She just wants to be by his side, seeing him alone is enough for her. "Because I am happy" she replied with laughter. "You are acting suspicious sis, did Cane give you anything to drink before we came there yesterday?" Adam asked while eyeing her suspiciously. "It's nothing like that" she waved it off with laughter. "Are you going for your exam? How prepared are you?" he asked. "Well, maybe
Isabella woke up with a sore arm, she tried moving her hand but it was as if someone placed something on it and she wasn't wrong. When she opened her eyes, her mouth went wide at the sight of Leo curled up next to her with his head placed on her shoulder. She was completely unaware of when he came in but what is he doing in her room? With the way he folded himself, it was obvious that he was cold. He didn't use the spreadsheet to cover his body. Isabella slowly began removing her hand making sure that he didn't wake up as a result of that and when she successfully did that, she exhaled, stretching her arm at the same time wondering if it's how men feel when a woman sleeps on their arm for too long. It does hurt! As she was about to come down from the bed to cover him with a blanket and disappear from the room before he woke up, he held her hand to stop her from going anywhere."Stay! I haven't been able to sleep for two days. I have insomnia and strangely, I can sleep with you by m
"You two Shouldn't have Cole with me, I can handle this just fine on my own" Leo protested. "We know you can but we are already here, I also want to teach that stupid man a lesson for having the guts to hurt our sister" Carlos blurted out. Immediately he realized what he just said, his hand flew to his mouth and his eyes darted to Leo while Sean stared at him like he had gone crazy. "I mean... I hmm—" "You don't have to explain yourself to me. It's okay if she is your sister, just protect her from now on. I need you all to keep her safe so that this won't happen again" Leo chipped in with a low chuckle. He had been furious since they left the house but this made him smile. Leo is aware that the guys see Isabella as family and their younger sister since she is the youngest of them. As long as it's just that relationship, Leo doesn't mind. He loves that they are getting along with her and they love her. Within a span of three to four months, Isabella has made everyone fall in love
Leo stared at the petite girl seated in front of him with a sigh. He reached for her hand and took it into his without breaking eye contact with her after making sure that she was looking at him. "Bella" He called. Isabella instructively shook her head to avoid his burning eyes. "Stop looking down and look at me" Isabella subconsciously raised her head immediately feeling like she was still his sex slave and owned by him. Since it's something she has done before, the habit has been instilled in her. "I know I don't have any excuse to have done everything I did but I am sorry, I couldn't do anything like a fool and let you go just like that. I thought letting you go would keep you safer than you being around me" Leo tried to explain but she couldn't wrap her head around it. How would she have been safer outside his mansion which is fully protected with strong security and enough people to look after her and care for her? "But I think that was a wrong decision and I am sorry" he ap
The small open space was turned into a bloodbath with most of Cane's men taken down. Leo made sure that only one person was unconscious, he didn't let the guys shoot him and gave him a shot on his shoulder instead of a vital organ that might be a hindrance to delivering Leo's message. After thirty minutes of a bloody fight with gunshots filling the air, every one of Cane's men that was there was taken down except just that one whose arm was shot. Leo walked up to him, he grabbed the man by his collar making him stand on his feet. "I am letting you go with just a shot on your arm so that you can deliver my message to your boss. You should be thanking your God for making me spare you so listen very carefully" Leo pissed as he hit the man's cheek for a few seconds then sighed to calm his breath. "Tell Cane Smith that I am giving him the chance to dig his grave in a way that suits him if he doesn't want me to do it for him. For every pain he inflicted on Bella, I will give him at leas
Isabella looked at herself in the mirror and then at the menu in her hand. She was standing inside the bar area and it was so noisy. She kept shifting uncomfortably while drawing down her gown. It was way too short and was exposing too much of her skin. She looked around the place filled with different calibers of drunks. They were talking and laughing within themselves, clearly wasted but still requesting more drinks. "Waiter bring another bottle of vodka" One of the men yelled. "What are you waiting for? Are you not going to attend to them?" Cane spoke into her ears out of nowhere. She jumped from being startled. Her mouth was shaking, even her hands were a bit left out. "I... I" "Stop stammering and get to work pretentious whore. I will be watching you from here to see how you will handle those men. Do not talk rudely to them and if they demand for your body, I will tell them the price" Cane announced and pushed Isabella forward after handing her a bottle of vodka.She held bo
Isabella didn't understand what Cane meant by her earning the money back for him until he went and came back with a dress and makeup artist. She was lost and confused as she was still hooked on those words Leo said about her. She wanted to get them out of her head so that she could stop hurting but she couldn't just like the way she couldn't stop herself from calling in love with him. Cane grabbed her up and made her stand on her feet even though she was looking unstable. "From now on, you will join the girls at my bar to serve the tables but yours comes with a special job because you will be rendering the service of your body to them as long as they pay me. Once I have gotten enough money to compensate for my loss, I will think of what to do with you" Cane explained clearly. It wasn't hard for Isabella to understand what he meant. While she is serving the tables at his bar, she will also be serving her body to the customers who need it. She gulped down and shook her head in disap
Jack Grayson was seen in a small house far from the city. He has been hiding here since the last time he spoke with Leo. The look on Leo's face that day was scary, it wasn't difficult to find out that the dangerous man had fallen for his pretty niece's charm. He'd come for her if he got to know that Jack took her from him not because he wanted to buy her freedom again but to sell her at a higher price. He had to flee his home to this place while he was processing his visa secretly. Just as he expected, Jack got a call from his neighbor about some people coming to look for him. It was obvious who it was. Leo did come to find him.Jack will be dead gone if he gets caught. Leo is not someone to mess with, the thought of going through what he went through the day they came to collect their payment made him shudder in fear. And as at that time, his boys were so lenient with him. Jack needs to leave the country for now else, it won't be long until he is caught. He made enough money from t
Cane Smith laughed to his heart's content on seeing calls from Leonard as expected. Leonard did value this girl here. "It seems your lover boy will find you soon but I am not sure about you being alive before then" Cane laughed again. He is suddenly feeling jelly for no reason. The fact that he just confirmed his guts and found out that he is right makes him overly excited. He pushed Isabella aside without saying anything else to her and left the room while laughing. He is going to be in a good mood today. Isabella exhaled deeply the moment her new master and his men left the room. They didn't care to untie her or remove the seal from her mouth. She just carefully stood up on her feet and sat down on the bed with all her body aching. She couldn't lie on the bed due to her hands being tied to her back. She is glad that Cane chose not to do anything to her body sexually. She'd feel dirtier than she already is and might end up developing PTSD without being able to save herself from t
