Ryan’s POV

I stood at the altar, waiting for Isabella to walk down the aisle. The grand ballroom was filled with prestigious guests, including governors, business associates, and family members. The orchestra played softly in the background, setting the tone for what was supposed to be the happiest day of my life.

But little did I know, my happiness was about to be shattered.

As the priest asked if anyone objected to our union, Levi emerged from the crowd, a sly grin spreading across his face. "I do," he said, his voice dripping with malice.

The room fell silent, and all eyes turned to Levi. "I have reason to believe that Isabella is not the woman she claims to be," he said, his eyes locked on mine.

I felt a surge of anger, but I remained calm. "That's not true," I said, defending Isabella. "She's an amazing woman, and I love her."

Levi sneered. "Really? Then why did she sleep with me last night?"

The room gasped, and I felt like I'd been punched in the gut. Isabella's face turned bri

    RYAN POV CONTD I smiled back, feeling a sense of satisfaction. "I'm yours," I repeated. Meanwhile, Isabella was lying in a hospital bed, her girlfriend Cario by her side. "I didn't do it, Cario," Isabella whispered, her eyes filled with tears. "I swear, it was all a setup." Cario held her hand, her eyes filled with concern. "I believe you, Isabella," she said. "We'll get to the bottom of this, I promise." As they talked, the news of our disastrous wedding was spreading like wildfire. The paparazzi were camped outside the hospital, eager to get a shot of Isabella. But Isabella was too devastated to face them. She just lay there, her heart broken into a million pieces. And as for me, I was too busy enjoying my newfound passion with Mia to worry about Isabella. We spent the rest of the day in bed, our bodies entwined in a frenzy of passion. As the sun began to set, Mia smiled up at me. "I'm so glad we did this, Ryan," she whispered. I smiled back . "Me too," I repeated. And as we

    CARIO POVI knew I had to take this evidence to Isabella, to prove to her that I was on her side. But as I turned to leave,I was confronted by Mia herself."What are you doing, Cario?" she sneered, her eyes narrowing. "You think you can just betray me like this?"I stood my ground, despite the fear that was rising up inside me. "I'm making things right, Mia," I said, my voice firm. "I'm going to clear Isabella's name, no matter what it takes."Mia's face twisted in anger, and for a moment, I thought she was going to attack me. But then, she seemed to calm down, a sly smile spreading across her face."We'll see about that, Cario," she said, her voice dripping with malice. "You're just a pawn in my game. And pawns are always expendable."I felt a chill run down my spine as Mia turned and walked away, leaving me to wonder what she had planned next. Mia walked away, her words echoing in my mind. I knew I had to be careful. Mia was not someone to be underestimated.I quickly made my way

    ISABELLA POV “I'm so sorry I came late, my boss called me up at the last minute to do a job for him so I had to hurriedly do it before coming here” Cario said as her voice interrupted my thoughts, bringing back to the present and I flashed a bright smile at her.“It's okay, Cario. I don't have a problem with that?. How are you doing? I have missed you so much” I asked.“I have missed you more babies,” she replied.“No you haven't missed me” I said with a pout in my mouth and Cario raised her eyebrow at me. One gesture she normally does when she is confused.“Why are you saying that Isa?” she questioned.“It's because your job is more important than me” I answered back and she let out a loud laugh.“Come on babes. You shouldn't be thinking like that, it's not like my job is more important than you. It's a necessity for me to work so I can be where I want to be in life. I need to be able to afford the things I desire. Unlike you, who has it all and on top of wealth, you have a fiance w

    ISABELLA POV“No Isabella. I would never betray you again, I'm so sorry for turning my back against you when you needed me the most” Cario apologized as she grabbed my hands and placed them on her thighs then I smiled at her.“It's okay, Cario. You don't have to apologise so much, I'm just glad you have realized your mistake” I voiced out.“Why do you have such a good and soft heart?” she asked and I pulled her cheeks lightly.“Ouch that hurts Isa” Cario faked a cry as she slapped my hand away and I chuckled lightly.“Having a good and soft heart is what makes me Isabella Genovese” I proclaimed and we bursted out into peals of laughter.“Okay that's enough of the fun moments. Now tell me something, "You have worked for a very long time with your boss but you haven't told me his name?” I said and she choked immediately then she grabbed a glass of water from the table and gulped it fast.“Easy does it, Cario. I just asked a question” I let out.“It's okay Isa, I'm perfectly fine now. T

I didn't see you coming” I apologized.“It's okay Isabella” he replied.“Won't you call me Isa anymore? I thought you love that name?” I asked.“But you don't love it so why should I keep calling you that?” he questioned as he turned his gaze away from me.“Anyways you are back home so early?” I said but he kept mute. He didn't respond to me.“I am talking to you Ryan. At least say something”“What do you want me to say to you? Aren't you seeing me right now?” he thundered and I couldn't hold my pain anymore as tears welled up in my eyes and I bit hard on my lower lips, just to stop my tears from flowing down my cheeks.“You know you don't have to shout at me just to make a point” I said.“In this moment. You are in no position to tell me how to treat you so clean your tears. I am really not in the mood for your drama” he warned.“There aren

    MIA POVI heard the doorbell ring but I was too lazy to get up from my bed especially when I knew that I wasn't expecting any visitors in my house. After a lot of hesitance, I finally stood up from my bed and walked downstairs.Once again, the doorbell sound filled my ears and I balled my hand into a fist. I knew it could only be the delivery guy, he always behaved in a very weird way. He was always impatient and it irritated me.“Don't you know how to exercise some patience?. You blockhead” I cursed out as I twisted the knob of the door open and pulled it forcibly towards me but then I was taken aback by who stood in front of me.Ryan.I gulped hard as my eyes widened at him. His presence was a shock to me, a surprise I didn't know I needed.“Ryan. How come you are here? I mean you didn't inform me that you are coming. I would have prepared myself for you” I voiced out with a shaky tone.“You don't need to prepare yourself for me Mia but it seems I am an unexpected guest so I will ju

You got me scared for a moment” “All of this has happened because of you and you have the guts to ask me why I screamed? If you had informed me before coming then I would have dressed up so I can look beautiful for my man” I said as I threw a cute face at him.He grabbed my arm and turned me around to face him. He cupped my cheeks with his hand and I gazed at him.“No matter how you look Mia. You are a natural beauty for me” he praised and I found myself blushing at his words as my cheeks turned red.“You are really a man. You always make me shy Ryan” I aired out as I smacked his hand playfully but then I noticed his expression had changed from playful to an expression. I couldn't comprehend but I knew at that moment, a lot of thoughts were going through his head.“What's wrong Ryan? you looked disturbed all of a sudden?” I asked.“Y

Why don't you make me feel good” I said as Ryan grabbed my waist and placed his mouth on my pussy as he began to suck it. His slurpy sounds filled the air and I found myself getting wetter.“This wetness.. oh fuck Mia, you drive me insane” he moaned out as he spread my legs wider.“I would gladly do that every single fucking time. With love making and without it” I said as I moaned out loudly. I began to flick my nipples then I grabbed Ryan's hair as the pleasure consumed me and I threw my head back in ecstasy.“Yes baby. I love it, increase your pace my love. I cried out in pleasure as Ryan sucked deeper. When he couldn't take it anymore. He lifted me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist as he carried me and placed my ass on the high table.I looked down at him, only to see that his clothes were off his body.“Dammit. That was so fast of you, I guess I was so immersed in p

    Isabella's povThe drive was a long one and I began to wonder why I agreed to let him take me home. Maybe I just felt tired and I was alone in my thoughts. I guess I just wanted a moment of peace.“We are finally here”,he said, bringing me out of my thoughts and I stepped out of the car, slamming the door shut.“Thank you for the ride” I said with a soft smile.“So when am I seeing you again?” he asked.“I don't think you would ever see me again Mr stranger. Bye for now” I said and he smiled at me then he zoomed off.I walked into the penthouse and the first person I laid my eyes on was Ryan who had an unreadable expression on his face.“Isabella, who brought you home?” Ryan asked and I wondered what was wrong with him. Since when did he begin to care about me? It had been so long.I didn't give him a response and I brushed past him, I was halfway up the stairs and I decided to give him an answer. I stopped right in track, and I shot him a look over my shoulders.“It’s none of your bu

    Isabella's pov“You don't need to do any of that. I'm good, thank you, I said weakly with a fake smile curved up at the corner of my lips.I noticed he didn't turn his back against me and walked away. Instead he leaned in a little closer to me.“You don't look good. It seems like you have been through a lot. He aired out and I blinked at him as I acted as though I didn't understand his words, meanwhile I was taken aback by his bluntness.“Are your words supposed to be a compliment that will make me feel good?.“Not exactly. But using my sixth sense, I can tell that you are going through something and you are lucky to meet me because if there is anything I do best, it is being a great listener, he said and he took a step back.I breathed deeply at his words. I knew fully well I wasn't that kind of a girl to be interested in sharing my personal matters with a stranger but I needed to pour my heart out. It felt like I was choked, but I began to reconsider my thoughts as something about h

    Isabella's pov He slammed into me harder than I had expected. His thrusts were deeper and it dragged me right to the edge as I felt the roughness of his grip and the way his cock filled me so perfectly.His hard and deep thrusts sent me over the edge again and my body shook with another orgasm as I surrendered myself completely to pleasure. “Ahhh. Ryan, fuck you” I screamed out but he didn't stop despite the fact my juices were splashing on his face. My body shooked involuntarily and I held onto him tightly, gasping for air. His hands grabbed my waist with a strong and demanding demeanor and with one deep thrust, he pulled out of me again as he left me wondering what went wrong.“No Ryan. Why did you fucking stop?” I questioned as I was completely pissed. I felt weak in the knees as I tried to push back against him but he grabbed my throat and wrapped his hand around it, but not too tightly.He titled my head behind and his teeth grazed my ear. “Do you think I'm done with you Isabe

    ISABELLA's POV contd“Right there Ryan. Just like that, don't fucking stop” I moaned out with a shaky voice as he sucked my clit with a steady rythm as I felt it throb and swell.My body shook involuntarily under him and he held me tightly as I began to thrust my hips up and down, making sure my clit fully got into his mouth.“Just fuck me already Ryan” I begged as tears slid down from the corner of my eyes. It was tears of pleasure and pain at the same time. The pleasurable part was he is a man who can make me feel good during sex but the painful part is that, he is a man who isn't mine yet and I am just his submissive and he is my master.“Just stay quiet Isabella, he murmured and I was unable to resist anymore. His tongue shifted from my clit and slipped down to my pussy as he sucked it deeply, tasting the warm juices that flowed out of my pussy.“Fuck Ryan. Just go in that rhythm, I cried out in pleasure and my hands grabbed my breasts.He pulled my juices into his mouth, sucking

    Ryan's pov contd“Are you out of your senses Ryan? You could have killed me” she retorted.“Only a good swimmer knows how to survive such a situation. Your body is a killer” I unbuttoned my shirt and I pulled it off my body alongside my trousers and shoes. I was only left with my tight pants I wore underneath. My fingers trailed along the waist of my pants and I slowly removed it off my body.I was left bare naked and I stood like that in front of Isabella, she stared at my dick for long as she removed her gaze and looked up at me and I dived into the water.“Your curves are seducing me Isabella. Are you sure you are ready to take all of me without a word?” I asked.I knew I wasn't meant to be slow and gentle with her, after everything she did to me. The way she betrayed me wasn't forgivable but I couldn't help it. I wanted to, but her body and mine wasn't letting me do it, it wasn't letting me give her the punishment I wanted.The way she looked at me. It felt as though it was a sil

    Ryan's POV…My eyes caught hold of Isabella's naked body. And I swear, that I was losing every inch of control I had left inside of me.She looked ravishing. It felt as though her body had been carved out especially for me and I smirked at my thoughts. She was really irresistible, just like a temptress.“I hope you won't regret your actions?" I asked then I stood up and walked towards her but I still maintained a little bit of distance.“I already regret everything so what is left for me to regret?”“I mean, since you feel regret. Probably you can still go on to search for some more jobs?” “Then what happens when I get the job? You appear in the hotel once again and then you're going to let your investor touch my body inappropriately and after that you're going to tell the manager to fire me right? Prove me wrong if you can, you have the chance to do it” she aired out and I nodded my head.“I'm not joking with you Isabella. I have been waiting for so long for you to come to me, and n

    Isabella pov contdI could feel that my hands were trembling but I couldn't falter. I had to focus on the task I had been assigned, if I made a mistake then I was surely going to lose my job.I grabbed a glass and I turned to hand it over to the man seated in front of me but then he placed his hand on my arm and something didn't feel right to me.“You have to be careful, beautiful waitress. It seems as though you are nervous, he said and he trailed his fingers on my arm as I stiffened immediately.I could tell from the look of his eyes that he didn't just want a drink. He wanted something else and I wasn't the right person to fulfill his wants and needs.I took a step backwards but in the process, my hand hit against his and the glass was knocked out of my hand as it spilled on his suit.“Watch your steps you lowly waitress! How dare you spill the drink on me, do you know how much this suit cost?” he snapped at me as he stood up quickly.The worst had happened. I succeeded in ruining

    Isabella's POV.I couldn't stop my heart from beating in palpitations as I stood in front of the grand hotel. It was the kind of place where people who were dressed in expensive suits were situated as they would drink their champagne and discuss business deals worth millions. I knew I had to get the job so I wouldn't have time to give into Ryan's unrealistic demands that weren't meant for me. I walked in and my heels clicked against the floor as I tried to act as though I was confident but deep inside of me, I was already breaking into tiny pieces.After what took like a while. I reached the reception room and I cleared my throat.“Hi. My name is Isabella and I am here for the waitress position, is it still available?” I said to the receptionist whose face was brightened up with a smile.“Just give me a moment please. Let me check, she replied then she looked down to check something on her iPad as she walked away.I wondered where she was going. Especially when I just asked her a que

I just want you to let me stay here and I will act as though I am invisible, you won't see me unless you want to, I said.“So for how long will I let you stay in my house?” he asked as he raised his eyebrow at me and a smirk was displayed on his face.“For as long as I am able to raise money and leave your house” I answered.“Isabella. Don't tell me you are still naive or is it just an act of yours?” he questioned and I gulped hard.“I don't understand what you mean, I said as he walked over to the couch and plopped his ass on it.“Let me make you understand Isabella. You want me to let you stay in my house till when you can raise money to leave my house, so tell me how you want to raise the money” he asked.“There are a lot of ideas I have in my head and I will try different methods but trust me when I say I don't intend on selling my body to men for
