Chapter 114 Eliana’s POV We’ve been all over each other since the incident, but lately I saw his less mostly because of the noise after the opening of my boutique was yet to calm down. I had a lot of orders to meet up, but I missed seeing him as often as I normally did. I finished up my part of the work and put my appointed manager in charge of the processes for the weekend. I didn’t mind, she was a reliable woman so I knew my business was in good hands. I packed up and went home. I opened my door, and was met with rose petals on the floor, leading to a trail around the couch and I picked a sticky note on the mirror. It read “Oh look, the fairest of them all!” I immediately got the joke and I giggled, following the trail and heading into the kitchen, and I was led to another sticky note on the oven, it read, “I can be hot as fuck, but nowhere as hot as you mama,” and a face with a wink was drawn on it. Oh God, that was so bad. I laughed as I followed the trail out and it led to m
Chapter 115 Eliana’s POV Positive. It came out Positive. It was Official. Eliana Brookes is going to be a mother. My vision blurred as the test fell from my hand. I felt a million emotions, but the one which stood out was fear. Was I cut out to be a mother? Bella’s excited scream pierced through my thoughts and brought me back to the present and I almost choked as she wrapped her arms around me. “Oh my God Eliana!” She screamed again in my ear, not noticing my tears rolling down my cheek. I choked down a sob and that was what drew Bella’s attention. “Eliana!” Bella gasped as she saw my tear-stricken face. She used a tissue to wipe my eyes and I subconsciously thanked God for waterproof cosmetics, or else my eyes would have been stained with black streaks from my mascara. “Eliana, what’s wrong?” she said, looking at me. I played with the test in my hand, “What if I’m not good enough for my baby Bella?” I know I have said this before, but it was a genuine fear for me. But Bella
Eliana’s povI couldn't believe either my ears or my eyes. Noah was… Proposing for real?"There's no pressure if you don't want to but I just know you are the perfect person for me and I want to make you my wife and treat you the way you deserve and make babies with you and take you around the world but it's okay if you don't want that I mean I understand I'm not the best person in the world and it would be okay if you don't want this. God, i'm ranting. Get it together, Noah." He rambled in the span of a second, his nervousness showing in his laugh.This isn't a dream. Noah wants to marry me."So," He cleared his throat, " what do you say?" He said, looking at me expectantly.I nodded, big drops of tears falling from my eyes."Use your words, baby.""Yes," I choked out. His eyes widened, "Yes?""Yes!" I screamed, flinging myself on him. "I will marry you, Noah!"He laughed as he caught me in his arms, swinging me around. "Yes! Now I'm the happiest man in the world. I love you so much."
This is a short story starring Bella Adler and Alexander Reed. You would get to see a little bit of our lovebirds Eliana and Noah, and also a glimpse of our questionable couple, Anna and Sebastian. The story starts from the point after they first met, so enjoy the ride.Bella's PovI practically dragged myself into the bar, my waist twisting with each step it took. I knew I looked gorgeous, I hardly look anything like anything less. But I wasn't feeling my best. For starters, I just had an argument with my mother over the phone, and she was getting extra cranky at the absence of love in my life. She didn't believe I was trying and she was pressuring me to come out of the closet, if I was in any.As much as I loved my mother, I hated talking to her about my love life, or lack of one. She always compared me to my brother who was about to get married and It always put a damper on my mood, like now.The other reason I wasn't feeling like the goddess that I am is because of my date tonig
Chapter 3 Alex’s POVBella crossed a leg over the other and focused on her phone. Her eyes kept darting to the door, no doubt expecting her date but it has been two hours. I seriously doubt if the poor fellow is going to show. The men around have been trying to talk to her but with a polite smile and a wave of her hand, she dismissed them. For some reason I decided to stick around, maybe because I felt the need to protect her if things got out of hand, like a true friend of Noah’s.She was surely attracting a lot of men, and It wasn’t a puzzle why.Her skin shone under the light, and her slender legs were like magnet to the light. Her body looked ethereal in the little silver dress and don’t get me started with the open back. What was she thinking? Driving we potent men crazy with her sexy skin and yes, the tattoo thaws sat on her lower back. That damn tattoo. If I could just run my tongue over… A flash of her moaning came into my head, stark naked and th
Bella’s POVNoah didn’t assign a bodyguard to me. It has been five days since Alex made that threat. I should have known it was an empty threat, that asshole wouldn’t actually rat me out to my brother, I mean, I’m an adult, I shouldn’t be getting reported to my protective elder by his asshole of a friend.A sexy asshole that you would totally fuck if you had a chance. My subconscious taunted.Heat rushed to two parts of my body. There was no denying how hot Alex was. That tattoo sleeved arm, those big hands and his sexy gaze, it was hard pretending like I didn’t notice his lust filled eyes on me all through the night at the bar. He felt it too. The connection.But I didn’t want him to.I was a one-night kind of girl, but I had a strong feeling if I had anything to do with Alex, it wouldn’t just be one night.I sighed as I parked my car in the parking lot of my apartment. I saw a black sports car few slots away from the one I just drove into, no doubt for the new neighbor. We were f
Bella’s POV “What did you just say?” I asked again, my heart beat punding so loud I could hear it in my ears.Alex chuckled, taking an apple and spinning it in his hands, “IM beginning to think you have hearing problems, Bella.”He took a bite of the apple and I tore my gaze away from the slow parting of his lip, an action more pornographic than innocent. What is wrong with me? Why can’t I just focus on the disaster happening right now? Alex just announced to be my bodyguard.“There is no way in hell that’s happening.” I said, walking up to him and snatching the apple from his lips, “You must be insane moving here and thinking you could be my body guard.” I pointed out the door, putting in as much gravel into my voice as I could muster, “Now, get out.”Instead of showing a bit of anger, Alex simply laughed, the sound echoing in my ears and comforting me in a strange way. He straightened and with the same smile, took slow steps towards me and I could feel my back hit the edge of th
Chapter 5Bella's Pov The atmosphere tensed as Noah shut the door behind him, leaving me in the presence of Alex.His eyes were trained on the side of my face as I avoided his gaze, hoping he wouldn't say anything so I wouldn't talk to him. The scent of his perfume filled my senses and turned my brain to mush as I remembered what happened or rather what was going to happen in my kitchen counter.I swallowed. Staying here with him was dangerous. Standing on my feet still without looking at the hot asshole sitting opposite me, I picked up my purse and walked towards the door, but the sound of his voice froze me in place as I wanted to turn the knob."Now, have you come to terms with reality?" He asked, his voice warming every part of me up like a fireplace.I turned on my heels to face him, my heart pounding loudly in my chest, betraying my attempt to appear composed.He leaned back in his chair, a playful glint in his eyes as they swept over my body. I swallowed as I got a glimpse of
