After finding out that her Fiance was cheating on her with his secretary, Izzy ended up in a club to drink away her pain and heartbreak. She didn't care about anything else in her life, and ended up going home with a stranger for the first time in her life. The next day she wakes up to find the stranger wasn't anyone else but her ex-fiance's dad and boss, Jasper Black. The owner of Black Industries and the man every girl—young or old—wants, but he has had his eyes on her ever since his son brought her for dinner. She is the only treasure he wants to possess, and he is the forbidden fruit she must resist. The forbidden romance is brewing, but Izzy couldn't help but lie to herself, to protect her heart from the Black boys.
View MoreIZZY'S POV,“Izzy!” Jasper moaned my name as he reached the climax. “Fuck, you are amazing!”He was out of breath by the time I was done and sat down on a wooden folding chair. I wiped my mouth, taking deep breaths myself. Thankfully, the air was cool and filled with fragrance. The sweet smell of the fruits from the orchards overcame our noses.“Come with me to the terrace,” he said after a while. He stood up and zipped his khakis before extending his hand towards me. “I have one more thing planned for the night.”“What else?!” I asked, even though I knew there was a strong possibility he wouldn't tell me anything. “You're not going to tell me, are you?”“Just come with me upstairs. It would be a thousand times better if you see it yourself instead of hearing it from me.” I trusted his smile for the time and took his hand. He pulled me to my feet, and together, we made our way back inside the castle.He didn't let go of my hands even when we were inside, and I didn't pull away either.
IZZY'S POV,“It happened before?” I asked in shock, even though I already knew the answer judging by the look on his face.“Yeah, but don't worry, it isn't anything serious,” he said, holding my hand affectionately. “Many of the women received similar texts when they were with me. Whoever this person is, they want to scare my dates away. They haven't done anything to harm them, though.”I understood he was trying to calm my nerves about the situation, but his words didn’t have the reassuring effect he intended. I felt even more scared because before, in my head, it was just a random person. Now, Jasper had confirmed that it was likely an ex or someone obsessed with him.Neither of which was good news for me.“Don't worry, love. I won't let anything happen to you, I promise.” He read me like an open book, even when I tried not to reflect what I was feeling on my face. “I will have someone look into it, and soon we'll find out who is behind this.”“Okay,” I gave him a weak, unsure smile
IZZY'S POV,An hour later, the plane landed and I tried not to think about the strange texts.I didn't recognize who it was, so I felt a bit scared and thought about telling Jasper. However, I quickly forgot all about it when I saw a white Rolls-Royce waiting for us on the runway. The chauffeur, an old man with a wrinkled face, opened the door for us, and Jasper motioned for me to step inside first.“Don't just look at me; get inside the car,” he said, knowing very well that I was beyond impressed. His proud smile told me that.The drive was brief, and the moment I stepped out of the car, I could feel the complete difference in the air from the city. It was crisp and sweetly fragrant, laced with something almost magical. Before me, illuminated by the soft golden glow of lanterns and moonlight, stood a real castle.An actual castle.I’d seen places like this in movies and heard about them in books where princesses found their happily-ever-afters. But never in my wildest dreams had I ima
IZZY’S POV,I had no idea where Jasper was taking me, he didn't tell me the exact spot even when I asked him directly.When he told me he was going to pick me up at 7 o'clock, in my head, I was expecting a fancy restaurant or maybe a fine dining experience in one of those places. The five-star restaurants where the waiters wore gloves and the plates cost more than my rent.That was billionaire behavior, right?But what he did was something else entirely, and I could have never even thought about it in my wildest dreams. Tyler had never done anything like that for me, and I was almost in tears when he showed me the surprise he had planned for us.His black town car pulled up to a private airstrip. A goddamn airstrip. I was awestruck and couldn't even blink at the sight of his sleek, white jet waiting for us. Its steps were already lowered like it had been expecting me for hours.I could feel my heart beating like a drum with every step I took forward.“What is this?” I couldn't help but
JASPER'S POV,I always knew Elizabeth was too good for my son.Tyler had her over dinner one night, and I was confused, to say the least. He did mention a few times that he was seeing a girl but we never had any conversation about it. None of his dates lasted for more than a month, so it was surprising to see someone had captured his interest for that long.Elizabeth walked into the house that night with a little awkwardness in her movement. Her hand was wrapped tightly around Tyler’s arm the whole time we talked before the dinner. She was a little shy, and couldn't look me in the eyes for longer than a few seconds. I found that extremely cute and it made me smile a little.She was breathtaking with her big and curious eyes, sharp facial features, full lips, straight nose, and genuine smile. She had an energy about her that filled the whole house with positivity. My cold house felt alive once again when her voice echoed through the halls.“Dad, this is my Izzy.” I still remember the w
IZZY'S POV,“You were in love with me? You aren't now?” Tyler asked, staring at me with teary eyes. “I made a mistake, and I swear I am going to change.”I almost laughed at him because I knew it was all a facade to have me back, but I controlled myself. He wasn't in love with me, he just wanted his inheritance and I was the best tool to help him with that. He had no true feelings for me, and I didn't feel anything for him either.I was done being his puppet, and the last thing I wanted was to have him back in my life.Even though it did hurt me when I caught him because I was in love with him for all those years. But, in the last few days, I realized what needed to be done. I wanted more than what he had to offer. I knew I deserved happiness and love, and as I thought about that I found myself back in the arms of Jasper.‘I have been in love with you since the first day I saw you.’His words echoed in my head, and that brought a smile to my face. I felt his fingers on my skin and the
IZZY'S POV,“Are you sure about Jasper, Izzy?” Grace asked out of the blue. We were on a call, talking about the latest season of The Bachelor as I drove to my mom's house. She sneaked that question between us discussing our favourite contestants. “As a friend, I should warn you against it.”“Let's not talk about men right now,” I tried to end the conversation because I knew Grace. She was one of those girls who believed in moving on and was against my petty revenge idea. "We will have this conversation when I see you on Sunday, and not over the phone.”“Okay,” she agreed, but I noticed the subtle disappointment when she sighed. “Any idea why your mom called all of a sudden?”“I don't know, but I get the feeling it's something important,” I said, staring at the familiar street. “But, I am not sure what it is about.”“Oh! give me a call after you meet your mother, okay?” I heard noises in the background and realized her sons must be back from school. “I have to go now, the demons are b
JASPER'S POV,“The sales are down by seven point two percent this year. We need new plans for our…”Henry was giving reports on our annual sales record to make sure we invite the right people to the Gala. There have been numerous times in the past when the Gala saved our company from huge losses.The sale wasn't doing well that year because several new small businesses were opening right, left, and center. I was well aware of the fact that we needed to move away from our old business practices and find new alternatives that spoke to the current market, and buyers.However, I could hardly think about the sales or whatever they were saying in the meeting. Elizabeth had my head since she left my office the day before. I couldn't figure out what was the right thing for me to do in that situation.I liked her.No, I was in love with her.And I didn't want to lose her, but at the same time bringing her as my date to the Gala meant a great deal. My family and some of the staff knew well abou
IZZY’S POV, “You are amazing!” Jasper said before kissing me once again on the lips. “I actually thought I would never get to see you again after this morning.He buckled his belt while making his way towards the couch on the left side of the office. I followed after him, looking around the office instead of looking at him, because I was feeling awkward about the way I threw myself at him. However, the big smile on his lips told me he enjoyed my mouth service.“What happened, Elizabeth?” Jasper asked when he turned to look at me. I shook my head, looking at him for a second before diverting my gaze to somewhere else. “Are you not feeling good? Do you want water or something?”“Uhh? No, it's not that.” I felt even more embarrassed after that. “Then?” He sat down on the couch and gestured for me to come towards him. “Is it about what happened between us just now? Did you not like it? Was I too rough with you?”“No… no!” I sat next to him, placing my hand on his thigh to make sure he k
IZZY’S POV,It's warm, I like it. I thought to myself, welcoming a slight smile when I felt the warmth of sunlight on my face.I was waking up, feeling the rays of the sun but didn't want to open my eyes yet. I was tired and the bed was warm. I was warm. And I liked the way everything felt. Though, it didn't last for long because I felt the hangover from the previous night making its way up.I groaned.The morning light spilling inside my bedroom through the partially drawn curtains didn't make the hangover any better. The headache had already started to settle in, followed by nausea and thirst. I knew taking shots after shots was a big mistake, but I had my reasons. I needed to forget him.I tugged at the blanket around my chest, pulling it higher to cover my face from the burning rays of sun that I had started to hate, thanks to the headache it was giving me. The blanket moved in compliance to my wishes, and I let out a content sigh, curling my body into the sheets.However, just a ...
