Isabella felt a feeling of warmth flow through her when he kissed her. Her fear disappeared immediately and she became calm.
Alex wanted to stop the kiss immediately he noticed her calmness, but something prompted him not to. This was his first time feeling this way from kissing any woman.For the past six years, after the death of his ex-girlfriend, Alexander Hun has never been intimate with any other woman. Matter of fact, people in the city assumed that he was gay.Alex didn't mind the rumors and kept his vow to stay off women. Not until two nights ago when he got the deal from Adams. He wouldn't have slept with Isabella if he wasn't drugged as well.The kiss lasted for minutes before Isabella allegedly pushed him off with both hands. She used all her strength to be able to get him off her.Alex just stood there, glaring at her and was unable to explain his reasons for kissing her. No matter what he said to this woman, she would always see him as the man who violated her so he just left.Alex shoved both his hands into his pockets and left the bedroom. Meanwhile Isabella had just recovered from the traumatic state she was in. For a moment, she realized how much his kiss helped her to keep calm, but she just couldn't bring her heart to forgive him.It was all Adams' fault but he could've also refused his offer. Isabella felt cold and her body began to tremble again. She gathered the duvet and bedsheets and used them to cover her body.Alex reached his bedroom, he pulled off his clothes and stepped into the bathroom. There was a feeling of heat and uneasiness that ran through his spine and the only way he could think of relieving it was to bathe.Alex knew that he hurt Isabella, and she was very angry at him. He could only think of ways to make it up to her even though he knew that she might not even accept them.He shoved his fingers into his full dark hair as he washed it under the shower, placing his right hand on the tiles walls, Alex could only think of Isabella at that moment.Flashy images of his getting intimate with her occupied his thoughts, he just couldn't get them off. Her warm soft skin, her succulent lips and tight core. Fuck! He wanted that woman over and over again.He wished that night didn't end soon, he just wished. Isabella was everything he wanted in a woman unless for the fact that she was young.Her hair color, her skin, her huge brown eyes and her petite figure. Everything literally turned him on as he thought of them.How did he get himself into this mess? He'd seen her grow up with his nephew and he never had eyes for her. Not even once. Why did everything suddenly change after that night?Alex stared down at his hardened dick. He got hard just from thinking about that woman! Isabella… "What the hell are you?.." he grinned.Alex had to spend extra time in the bathroom in order to get rid of his urge to take Isabella.Later that evening, Isabella was still in her bedroom and hasn't stepped out since Alex left.It was time for dinner so Alex had a maiden to go call her. When the maiden arrived inside the room, she noticed that Isabella wasn't in bed so she went on to find her inside the bathroom.Frightened, the maid hurriedly returned to the dining room to inform Alexander about her absence.The maid who ran all the way downstairs tried to catch her breath when she arrived. "Mr Hunt, the young lady is missing!" The maid yelled, she was a middle aged woman, that was why she referred to Isabella as a young lady.Lady Patricia has been Alexander's maid for years, she served him after she had served his father.Lady Patricia noticed the fear in Alex's eyes as he jerked up upon hearing the news. She realized how much he cared for Isabella.Even though she barely spent a day in the Mansion, Lady Patricia knew that there was something between them because Alex would never bring a woman home, talkless of a random woman."Mr Hunt…" she tried to speak but Alex just brushed past her and left.Alex didn't wait to inform Carlos before he drove out of the mansion to find Isabella. He didn't have anything to track her, he'd barely settled with her.How the hell did a grown woman escape his numerous guards?Alex continued driving down the estate. Estimating the time he left her room, if she had left immediately, she would've gone far.If not, she would still be in the estate. BlueHill estate is the biggest in Metro City. They wouldn't even let Isabella exit or come in unless she showed them her ID. It was made and reserved for the rich and wealthy.Alex was still positive that he would find Isabella lurking around the place.As he continued driving, he soon noticed from afar, a woman in a short dress walking briskly down the road.She continuously pushed back her hair, Isabella wanted to leave at all cost.She was just about to cross the road when Alex's car had almost hit her. Isabella was drowned in her thoughts, she didn't realize when the car had honked at her several times.She shook fearfully when she almost got hit. Isabella tried to run but Alex walked out of his car and grabbed her."No… don't touch me. Let me go!" She screamed out."Isabella, are you alright?" Alex tried to ask her."Don't touch me you bastard!""Get a hold of yourself, woman! I'm not Adams who sold you off. Isabella, if you do not behave yourself I might have to punish you" Adams threatened her.Isabella tried pushing him off but he already expected it and defended himself. Alex slammed her against his car, Making her hurt her back. Isabella groaned hard."Let go of me" she yelled.He pressed his body on hers, pinning her down with both hands. "If I hear you scream again, I swear Isabella, I won't spare you. I will take you right here… Right out here!" He threatened.Isabella felt his hot breath caress her neck and it made her humble quickly.She didn't struggle anymore."Where were you heading?" He asked her."I wasn't running away.." Isabella tried to explain but he cut her words short."I know you weren't running away. Tell me, where are you going?""To get some medicine. My body aches" she confessed.Alex scanned her body observantly. He immediately let go when he realized that he was adding to her pain. "Where does it hurt?" He asked in a calm tone."Isabella turned to face him. "All over""I'll call the doctor over. Let's go back home" he suggested."No" Isabella immediately stopped him."I prefer to get the medicines instead." She said,Alex arched his brow, giving her a dubious stare. He had no reason to suspect her so he just agreed and took her out of the estate.Minutes later, they arrived at a huge pharmacy just after the estate. Isabella hurriedly walked out of the car, Alex followed her behind.They reached the counter and Isabella asked for pain relief drugs. She glared around, she wanted to ask for another drug but she didn't want Alex to find out what kind of drug it was.She watched him closely, hoping that he would lose his focus as he was standing right behind her.Before the clerk would return with the drugs she had asked for, Alexander's mobile phone rang and he excused himself to take it.Isabella acted with haste. She asked the clerk to add some birth control pills In the medicine. Everything took two minutes and Alex arrived just in time to meet the medicines already packaged for her.Isabella brought out her card to pay but Alex was more swift with his. He scanned the code of their account details and made a wire transfer to the amount mentioned by the clerk..She then proceeded with the receipt but Isabella made her understand that the receipt was irrelevant since they got the drugs. Seeing her act strangely, Alex demanded to get the receipt from the clerk and it was handed over to him.Isabella tried to snatch the piece of paper from him…They eventually arrived in the car and Alex began to inspect the drugs she had bought. "What the hell are you doing?" She asked, trying to stop him from checking the bag."I can't have my woman take drugs which aren't prescribed for her,"Alex took pictures of the drugs and sent them to his doctor. He waited to get his response before he drove off the pharmacy.Fortunately, Isabella already took out the contraceptive pills from the bag and hid them. She already suspected Alex so she had acted fast.They arrived at the mansion minutes later, Alex had stopped by a convenience store to buy some stuff for her. He knew that the medicines might be bitter so he got candies and Ice cream for her to eat after she took them.Even though she successfully escaped him tonight, Isabella was still concerned about the reciept he had with him.She hoped that he wouldn't read it.The next morning, Isabella was woken up by the maidens. She felt a little exhausted after last night's walk around the estate.Isabella could only get up a few minutes after the maids came to meet her. When she did, she noticed that they had moved a lot of baggages into her roomSome had the logos of popular brands like Louis Vuitton, Chanel and Hermes. She wiped her eyes, thinking that she might be seeing wrongly but no, she wasn't. Isabella stood up. A maid moved forward. "Good morning ma'am, Mr Hunt asked us to bring these for you. You are to test the dresses too" she informed Isabella.Isabella was stunned, she dared not accept these numerous things. She checked and saw that they were varieties of designer clothes, hand bags and shoes What was Alexander Hunt trying to prove by buying these things for her? Did he think that they could make her change her thoughts about him sleeping with her without her consent?She was so furious, thinking that he took her for a gold digger or so
Later that day at noon, Isabella was taken to the salon to get her hair done. Alexander took her to one of the most expensive and popular beauty salons in the city.When they arrived there, Isabella was surprised. She had only seen this place in pictures, magazines and on the internet.She had never gotten the opportunity to come here in person. She heard a lot of things about the "Georgia Beauty Salon" It was built for rich and wealthy people.Even when she was with Adams, she had never for once gotten the opportunity to come. He'd promise to bring her over on several occasions but he never did.One day when Victoria, his so-called cousin, explained to her that her boyfriend brought her here for a hairdo, she never thought that it was Adams who brought her.Isabella couldn't help but think about everything Adams had done to her. How he had deceived her for years. She felt like a fool.Alex noticed the frown on her face as they headed inside. He couldn't help but ask her why she looke
Isabella had fallen asleep, Alex didn't wait until he got a phone call from Carlos before he left the bedroom.He asked the guards outside her door to watch her, and also let him know if she tries to come out. Alex left the mansion immediately, following the address Carlos sent to him.Arriving at the apartment, Alex met his men pointing their guns at three familiar ladies. They were the girls from the salon. All kneeling down, shivering and pleading for their lives to be spares.Alex took his seat on the couch in the middle of the room, he had Carlos lit him a cigarette. While he smoked, he watched his men discipline the girls."Boss, they said nasty things about Miss Suarez" Carlos explained. He showed the footage he acquired from the massage room to Alex. Everything they said about Isabella, he heard them.It was enough to make Isabella feel depressed. He now understood her situation. Alex was angry. The girls confessed that Victoria was at the salon at that same time and she was t
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."Do you kn
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
It was around 9 p.m. when Isabella woke up, she noticed that she was in an unfamiliar bedroom. Isabella almost panicked when she realized that they had arrived and she was asleep then.She immediately stood up from the bed and rushed out of the bedroom to find Alex. 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
ONE YEAR LATER“No. Not that but you can have this one though. Here you go.”“Mum noooo. I want the yellow one and not pink.” “Happy birthday my princess.” Alex said walking in with balloons.He picked Laura up as she ran to give him a hug before snapping yellow sunglasses on her eyes.“Your first gift of the day.” He said to Laura, placing a kiss on her cheek.“Thank you daddy! I love it!.” She exclaimed.“You were out early today.” “Yes baby. Had to get flowers and lots of chocolates for my princess.” Alex replied.Laura gasped. “Chocolates?!.” She asked excitedly.Alex nodded his head and Laura scrambled out of his hold, running out of the room in the direction of where her chocolates were kept. He smiled as he watched Laura run off before moving to give his wife a hug and then a kiss on her lips.“Happy Anniversary baby.” Alex said.“Happy Anniversary to you too love.” Bella replied with a broad smile on her face as she sealed her lips with Alex’s in a passionate kiss.“How’s ou
“And please I’ll like to have the decorations redone. It’s for our wedding.” Alex said to the wedding plannner he had made come to the hospital.It was past three months now and still Bella was yet to wake up. Every day Alex came to the hospital and he would stay with Bella until night came or it was time to get back to Laura. Other than that, he did everything he wanted in Bella’s room at the hospital. From work to eating and then his special time which was reading Bella a book or telling her stories of how fast their daughter Laura was growing.Laura had surprised him tremendously after she was discharged from the hospital. He had decided to get her a private teacher when he saw how fast she caught on things and the way she pronounced her words. She wasn’t the average growing child and he sensed it.He was proud at how fast she grabbed things and how intelligent and outspoken she had become. Alex had been weary of Laura turning into a closed off chuld due to the things she’s had to
The police parked their cars far away from the address so they wouldn’t attract attention. They all hid in the nearby bushes, including Alex as they waited for Catalina to come outside.Alex kept glancing at his watch impatiently. He was sure without doubt that Catalina was still inside. He stood tall when he saw a glimpse of Catalina through the windows.Alex drew out his gun, cocking it and keeping his finger on the trigger. He was aware that he had no right to shoot but he didn’t care at that moment. He was determined to kill Catalina once and for all. He didn’t want her to be arrested and go to a jury where she would spend the rest of her life in jail. He wanted her in hell where she rightfully belonged because she had come after his innocent daughter.“Alex? You using that?.” Alex’s friend asked him, cocking his head to the side.“We’re friends. I expect you to cover my back after I gun this damn bitch down.” Alex said spitting on the floor.His friend had known him for a long ti
Bella drove like a maniac on the road as she followed the map leading to the address Catalina had sent her. She kept praying in her mind that her daughter was save.She tried calling Catalina but the line would not connect which only made her fear heighten. She wished Alex was with her as he would have found a way to calm her down but still Bella knew she had to be brave and strong for the sake of her daughter.It broke her heart each time she thought about how scared Laura was with Catalina. She tried to distract herself from thinking negative as she arrived the address Catalina had sent her. Since Catalina wasn’t taking any of her calls, she decided to text her.Immediately a text message came from Catalina, instructing her on what to do. Bella came down from the car with the duffel bag headed straight for the apartment Catalina had asked her to walk into.The apartment was situated at the end of the street and looked like a normal house but one would not know her child was being h
When Catalina was little, she had always felt unimportant. Her parents adored Alicia her twin sister because she was exceptionally brilliant and as they grew up, Catalina discovered Alicia had a more sculptured features which made her stand out.It made her hate being seen with Alicia because anyone who saw them together would always point out that they could easily identify the two of them tho they were identical twins. The thing was Alicia had a smooth, perfect nose with plump lips, whereas Catalina had a little bump on the nose with thin lips.It was weird because even with her thin lips, when she stared at herself in the mirror, she looked like Alicia as much as Alicia looked like her.Catalina decided she didn’t want to be a part of Alicia anymore when they finished high school and when she had gotten into college and began to date the handsome men, it was a boost to her ego and the reason was because Alicia with all her beauty never got asked out.If Catalina could recall vividl
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. Please just let me go.” Adam begged with his hands clasped together.Victoria chuckled. “You think that’s what I want? Money? If I need more money, I could just
Loud crunching could be heard in the room and with each loud crunch was the diminishing of a big bag of hot Cheetos which laid beside Isabella, her eyes focused on the TV.She smiled sheepishly as Alex walked into the room with a tray filled with fruits in hand. 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. He was filled with happiness and love that they were about to live happily forever. Just him, her and their little girl.“I will if you take the veg mix drink you’ve been refusing t
Two days later Bella was discharged from the hospital and Alec drove her home himself, he couldn't wait for them to get to the mansion so he could show her the plans he had for her, the extreme care and love he'd always wanted to show her unconditionally.On their way back, he received a text from Ciara who narrated that she couldn't get a train back to the city from her end, making her unable to bring Laura on that day not until the next two days. Although he missed Laura, Alex was a bit relieved because he didn't want Laura to return to meet a sick mother or meet Bella looking pale. He was hoping that with his care, in two days time, Bella would recover so that Laura wouldn't ask questions or become curious.So many things had happened in the last few days , Bella fell sick, Adams got missing, and his father died. He didn't even feel sorry for Adams or his father but Bella, who was his top priority, affected him deeply and he hoped that it'd never happen again.They soon arrived a
Florence was about leaving the house to meet up with someone that can help with her predicament. Alex was too busy, he might not have the time to act fast before her son gets killed.She was really sorry about Bella. Yes she knew the old man can be tricky and evil at times. But to think her father could be so extreme she was disgusted at this.She had only driven close to the gates when some uniformed men drove into the compound.The cops.She looked at them and drove in with four cars as if they were here to arrest a dozen gangsters. ' I can't remember calling the cops. I never told them about my son's abduction. I had been warned not to involve the cops. What do they want this time l.'Florence recounts how many times food like this has been in their home when she was only a child. They would make everyone sit on the floor while they searched the whole house thoroughly leaving no stone untouched.The sight of them was terrifying to her back then. She would cry. Alex will wrap her s
