Isabella got prepared to go to work, she was supposed to resume that day, she was already five minutes late. She immediately started to prepare and rushed downstairs to eat breakfast.

Alex was already there, he wasn't eating, he was just sitting there working on his phone. Isabella could tell that he was very busy. He didn't even pay attention to the sumptuous meal in front of him.

Isabella took her seat opposite him, focusing on eating her meal while she ignored his presence. "Good morning, Isabella" Alex greeted, he also acted as if they hadn't seen each other that morning. As if he didn't wake up beside her in bed.

"Good morning Mr Hunt" Isabella greeted politely.

"I can see you're all dressed up.." Alex said, with his eyes scanning her all round. She was wearing one of the dresses he handpicked for her so it was obvious that she had prepared to go to work.

"Of course, it's my first day at the office. I do not want it to flop. Besides, I'm already late" she explained.

    Mrs Anderson didn't look anything like how she speaks. Her voice was cold and stern as that of a man but she was actually a young and beautiful woman.Isabella was stunned when she saw her. "I thought I heard someone.. I knew you were still in there" she said, washing her hands on the basin. Isabella watched her do it carefully in order not to hurt herself with her artificial fingernails. Mrs Anderson was a beautiful and seductive young woman. From her name and the ring on her finger, Isabella could tell that she is married."Isabella, right?" She asked and Isabella nodded without uttering a word."You should watch your back in this company. Especially from girls like them. They would do anything to gain their own interests" she warned."Yes ma'am, thank you" Isabella greeted politely.She also stepped forward to wash her hands before she left. When Isabella arrived at her duty post, she got a phone call that Alex needed her presence. From the phone call, he didn't sound fine so sh

The huge house was unfamiliar to her. Isabella wondered where he brought her because it wasn't the mansion.She soon arrived outside the apartment, there was a huge lake outside. The lights were arranged nice and neatly. The reflection on the golden yellow light bulbs shown on the surface of the pond.The surroundings were so beautiful,there was a flower garden there too. Isabella forgot her reasons for coming out in the first place and she decided to just focus on feeding her eyes with the place she was in.She took a brief walk around the place, it was so beautiful. The house was huge but built with dark brown mahogany woods. Finely made and furnished.Isabella knew that only Alexander Hunt could use money to manipulate

    Isabella tried pulling herself out of the pile of huge bed sheets wrapped around her body, she could barely see until she finally got them off her body. Isabella sat upright, scanning the bedroom with her eyes.She felt so refreshed and energetic that morning. Just the previous night, she was weak, devastated and crying under the heavy rain.Isabella placed her palms on her face. "Did she get a fever overnight?" Does it explain the reason why she was wrapped under the duvets? Isabella grew more confused as she tried to answer the questions herself.She stood up from the bed and left the room. Immediately she stepped outside, the aroma of the delicious Italiano soup hit her nose and Isabella stood still.She sniffed, making her inhale more of it. Isabella went ahead to check. On getting there, she met the most handsome and seductive man she'd ever seen. Alexander Hunt was shirtless, only an apron was tied on his chest but was unable to cover all his muscles. He was wearing a black ba

    "Why are you here? The last time I checked, you do not want to breathe the same air with me" he asked.Isabella knew what he meant. She wanted to explain to him, she parted her lips to speak but no words came out. "I.. I…" she stuttered.Ruin's growl interrupted her, Isabella got frightened and she rushed to hide behind Alexander. She grabbed his arms tight, digging her artificial fingernails into his skin.Alex barely felt the pain but he felt her fears. "It's fine. Ruin doesn't hurt anyone until I order him to" Alex explained.Isabella let go of him in that instance. "Aren't we supposed to be at work today, Mr Hunt?" She asked him curiously."It's Friday. I don't go to work on Fridays…" he explained briefly. Isabella looked at him, more questions filled her thoughts so she went on to ask him."What about me?" She blinked her eyes confusedly."You're my secretary, I can take you anywhere I want to work for me. No one dares to question my authority " Isabella felt the power in his t

    "What the hell did you just do Isabella?" Isabella asked herself rhetorically immediately as she entered her bedroom. She leaned her back on the mahogany door, her heart pounded fastly in her chest.She almost felt it escaping her ribcage. Isabella couldn't stop thinking about the kiss, even as she laid on the bed and tried to sleep. She couldn't. All she could think of was Alexander. She didn't think that she'll be able to face him again. He didn't make the first move but she did. How stupid of her!Isabella laid on the bed for over an hour, trapped in deep thoughts. She subconsciously touched her lips, the taste of mint didn't leave her tongue. Alex had kissed her several times but this time he tasted different. Maybe it was because she kissed him and not likewise.Isabella felt a knot tying in her stomach and butterflies filled her inside.Later that evening, Isabella decided to step out of her bedroom in order to get herself some food. Calculating the time, Alex must've finished

    Isabella slowly applied ointment on Alex's hurting knuckle. While she made the application, Isabella slowly blew air on it so he wouldn't feel the pain.Although his hand showed no sign of it hurting, Isabella could still tell that it hurt. There was no swell or bruise. Alex sure had the body of a well trained guard. She wondered if he was into sports or martial arts. She wouldn't be surprised if he was into any. There's nothing impossible for him to do, she could attest to that.After she was done, she tied a bandage around his hand. "Thank you" Alex said politely but Isabella shoved him off."It's fine. I'm just returning the favor you did for me" she declared.Alex arched a brow in confusion. "What do you mean?""Didn't you also apply treatment for me in the kitchen? I'm also returning the favor, Mr Hunt…"Alex was silent for a moment. Isabella stood up with the kit in an attempt to return it back to its place. Alex grabbed her wrist instead and pulled her back, making her sit on

    Isabella wore Alex's sweat shirt and a pair of tight jeans. She applied light makeup and tied her hair into a bun. She also tied a strong belt on Ruin, so he doesn't escape from her.Before they left, while they were both outside the house, Isabella spoke with Ruin."We are heading outside now so behave yourself and be a good boy, Ruin" she said.The dog nodded as if it understood every bit of her words.Isabella took Ruin out, luckily for her, there was a park nearby so she decided to take him there. She sat on a bench under a huge oak tree, and Isabella brought out a sketchbook and drawing pen.She decided to make some drawings of the surroundings. Even though she wasn't too good in art, Isabella wanted to use this to while away time. Ruin just sat there on the grass watching the whole scenario. He seemed to be enjoying it. Ruin was barely allowed by Alex to come outside the house.He was placed indoors all day which was the reason why he got aggressive with strangers. He was neve

He would've had his way with her if Alex didn't arrive on time.

Alex looked upstairs immediately."Find out who did this!" He declared and rushed upstairs to find Isabella…When he got there, he was welcomed by the pool of Ruin's blood on the floor.

    Adam sneezed out as his eyes opened gradually. He was still in the warehouse he had been kidnapped and kept in for days. He still could not believe Victoria would go to the extent of kidnapping him. Scratch that. He didn’t even believe she was capable of planning something so evil.He groaned out when he felt his hair being dragged so painfully that it hurt his scalp.It was Victoria.“Does that hurt?.” She asked him while smiling.Adam groaned out. “Victoria. Pllee…please.” Adam begged.Victoria let go of his hair, kicking him on the leg with her red bottom heels.Adam eyed how sharp the pencil heel was and wondered how she could conveniently stand on that while still inflicting pain on him. Victoria was one mistake he wished he had never made in his life.“What do you want Vicky? What? Is it money? I’ll give you loads of it.

He looked disapprovingly at Bella for eating snacks, especially since he had warned her she wasn’t fully recovered to eat unhealthy things.“You should not be eating that.” Alex said sternly, taking the Cheetos away from Bella.Bella laughed out loudly at first but gave a pout when she saw Alex was serious about taking her snacks away from her.“I’m fine. Please give them back. Pretty please.” She pleaded.Alex huffed, shaking his head at her as his eyes lingered over her. He still could not believe he had gotten so lucky to have her as his woman.
