Tristan's POV
It has been one long week without Isabella in my life and it feels like a lifetime. I can't eat, I can't sleep, I can't even work. My brother has even called me out on it. He said that my father wouldn't like to see his favourite son denied the chance to get what he wants.
Don't get me wrong, I am glad that my father is in my life and despite his criminal ways, he has always been an amazing father. There is nothing that he won't do for me. Which is why I can't tell him or my brother about Isabella.
If I tell my brother then he will tell my father, because my father loves me, he will make sure that I get Isabella, he will make sure that she agrees to be mine, I will he getting what I want but not in the way I wanted it.
I don't want to be with Isabella because my father or anyone else forced her into it, I want to be with her because she wants to be with me. I want her to give me h
Isabella's POVAnother week has gone by and mama just went out again to search for the perfect mark to scam. After Tristan called me I panicked, especially since my mother heard that I was on the phone with someone.My mother has managed to take away everything I love from me, I didn't want to give her something else to take away so I lied about who I was talking to on the phone. I told her that it was the lawyer telling me that the divorce settlement had been deposited into my account.The truth is that I had no choice but to lie to her. After that I switched off my phone and threw in my closet. I told my mother that I didn't know where it was, I just couldn't risk Tristan calling me when my mother is around. She could just make the situation worse for me.Leaving him was hard enough, I don't think that I can do it again. My sis has decided to sleep in yet again. I don't know what it is with her the
Tristan's POVThey say that when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. I wish I could make lemonade with my life but I can't. I don't know if it is a last born thing or not but I am not okay with the fact that my father is dying. I haven't been okay about it since the day he told us.He is downplaying it like it was nothing, like it was just a common cold. I mean how can anything be be okay with the fact that they're dying? How can anyone be okay with it? I am not. I just cant accept that he is really dying. All he cares about is bidding us against each other.As if making up that stupid challenge was no enough, he said that we all have to do it and if one of us decided to bow out then we all forfeit and he will give the money to charity along with all his legal businesses.That means that he wants me to be in it no matter what. I don't like being put on a spot like that, our Sunday meal together was
So I moved out of the hotel and found myself a small studio apartment, it was small and cosy but it had one of the most beautiful views of the city. I didn't actually need much space since I might not even be here for long.My mother had sent me the details about the man that I was supposed to con next, I organised for us to meet, I bumped into him and purposely spilt tea on the white dress I was wearing. He was so mortified, he offered to buy a new dress. I told him that the dress was old so no need to replace it, he insisted I atleast have dinner with him.I knew then that I had him where I wanted. I had hooked my fish because he fell for the bait. After our first date, I had already had him hooked on me. I told him what I thought he wanted to her and he listened.After our date he invited me to lunch, I went again and pretended to be the perfect date, it was in our fourth date when he officially asked me to be his gir
Isabella's POV The limo took us to a hotel, I have no doubts that this is a five star hotel. When he said that it was a charity event I didn't think it was going to be this fancy. We got out of the car and the driver opened the door. Flashes of cameras came in blindingly when we got out of the car. Everyone called out Nick's name and wanted to talk to him. I guess he is more famous than I thought which might just be a problem because I do not want to be in limelight. "Nick, Nick is this your new girlfriend?" One reporter asked. "Yes my very private girlfriend..." He said. I must admit that as much as I hated all the attention, I loved that my face was hidden under a mask, I loved that no one could really recognise me like this. I just smiled and waved at the camera on the red carpet. New York is nothing like home, the people here are nothing like the
Tristan's POVAt first I had doubts about what who I saw, I even thought that I was imagining things but when my brother came up with her on stage, I knew exactly who she was, even under the mask I could still see the real her. I just wonder why she came here with that douchebag Nick.Nick might be handsome and he might also be rich but he is a class A prick, he is not seri about anything in life, as the only child, he feels like everything is owed to him, he buys expensive cars only to crash them when he is drunk, he throws away money useless things, he spends most of his money on high end prostitutes.He has never worked a day in his life, his father was supposed to retire last year and hand over the company to him to run but he messed that up as well, on the first quarter of him in charge he lost over fifty percent in profit shares thus forcing his father to stay on.In a nutshell, he is not respo
Isabella's POV"Bang Bang Bang!" A loud knock came from my door. I don't who it was at the door bit whoever it was better have a good explanation for waking me up this early. I look at my sister sleeping beside me as if there wasn't someone on the door.Last night was not as I expected it would be but at the end I had a lot of fun. Nick disappeared on me with the woman who bought him at the aycy and as for me I danced the night away with Tristan, by the time I got home, I was drunk but I was very happy."Bang! Bang! Bang!" Another knock came."Okay... okay I'm coming." I said and got out of bed. I out my feet in my morning slippers and I walked to the door, I didn't care that I was in my very short PJ's."Who is it?" I asked."It's me, open up." I heard my mother's voice and just like that, my morning was ruined. She wouldn't have came her
Tristan's POVI took a huge risk and I hope that it pays off, after the auction I saw Nick leaving with the bimbo he was with and that made me extremely happy, I don't even know what she saw in him. She could do so much better with someone who knows what they want.I am glad that I finally found her again and we spoke, it has been weeks since I last saw her and being with her again felt like a dream. We have set up a date to meet in the next coming days and I can't wait.I was in my office minding my own business, I had started working on putting together the money we raised for the charities so that I can hand out the cheques. I don't have a doubt that the money will do a lot of help, I will personally see to it.I donated a lot of money to the charities and even though it's for a good course, I did it entirely for my own selfish reasons, I didn't want anyone to outbid me, I had to mak
Isabella's POVI can safely say that I am way in too deep and I can't breathe, I feel suffocated by mother and things she wants from me. She doesn't know this but what she wants me to do will destroy me from the inside. What she wants from me will destroy me.She has made up her mind about what she wants, she has made clear about what I should do and she won't back down. I wish there was another way around this but I know that there isn't. If I try to walk away from everything and start a new life with Tristan, she will ruin things for me.She has left me with no choice and that only makes me resent her even more. I know that this would be very easy for me to do but it will also be the hardest thing I could ever do. Tristan is nothing like my other marks.I actually love him, I didn't want to admit this to myself before but at the auction, when he held me close and I felt his warm
Isabella's POV" Congratulations Miss Murphy, you are pregnant. " The doctor said. I couldn't believe what the doctor was telling me. I am getting married in a few days and I have been feeling a little under the weather for a few days now. I accepted Bradley's proposal and that was not easy on Tristan because he too wanted me to be his wife. I didn't think that he would ever talk to me again because he was so mad. It took a few days but he finally came around and now he is officially my Dom, it has been nothing short of amazing.I must admit that I am amazed at the level of understanding that Bradley has about this whole situation. I knew that I was taking a huge chance and that there was a possibility that he might not agree with what I want, still I couldn't ignore my impulses and everything that I wanted to do have. I want to be happy and I am not staying that Bradley can't make me happy but I had to be real with myself here. It was like my eyes had been opened for the first time
Hannah's POVI thought that my life was over and that I would never see my husband again. They say that you never know what you have until you lose it and that is exactly how I felt in that cabin. Not knowing if I was going to survive to see the next day and if I did, I wondered if I wouldn't slit my own wrists in a bath and get it over and done with. I just couldn't bare the thought of being totured by my ex husband again. I know how bad it could get and I couldn't do it. I would have rather died than allow that man to take more than he has already taken from me. I haven't been able to get over what he did to me. I even tried to see a therapist but everytime I thought or said his name, I would get paralyzed with fear. That man is evil and unhinged. I wasn't even sure that they would find me in that cabin. I am glad that they saw all the clues I left for them. When I went into the bathroom, I wrote down the number plate of the car he was using.They were able to tr
Isabella's POVLife is full of surprises, that I am sure of, for me the biggest one was finding out that I was a kink, that I was different, to think that it would have scared me but it only made me full of wonder. It didn't take long for me to realise that I love it but I also know that I couldn't do it with Bradley. I never thought that I would end up married to one of the brothers for real, I can't believe that I am finally going to get married, for real this time, I swear it feels different. I didn't come to this decision very lightly, Infact it was a very hard decision to make. when I first came to New York. I thought that I was going to end up with Tristan. He was my potential husband to be but I knew that I had to be honest with him. I didn't expect him to act the way he did when he finally found out the truth about my past and why I was pushing him away. I actually thought that he could look past what happened during a time when he didn't even know who I was.
Tristan's POVThey say that everything happens for a reason, I wish I knew the reason why Isabella has put us in this situation. I love her and that is why I asked her to marry me. I didn't even think that there was any reason why she would say no because I happen to know that she loves me. That is why I was confident enough to tell Bradley that I would respect whatever decision that Isabella takes. I fully support her but I am not too sure that I would accept it if she chose Bradley over me. I am the one who has loved her the longest, I am the one who saw her first and if it wasn't for my stupidity, we would be together like we are supposed to be. Instead I pushed her away and gave Bradley an opportunity to move in on my girl. He has his paws so deep into her, she has fallen in love with him. When I proposed to her I thought that she would immediately say yes. Well I was hoping for that because I knew that Bradley was going to do the same thing. I wanted to beat him t
Bradley's POV I love Isabella, God knows I do and there is nothing I wouldn't do for her. She has my heart, she owns me and she doesn't even know it. I never thought that my life would turn out like this. I never thought I would fall in love with someone like Isabella, she is everything I have never looked for in a woman, I suppose that is what makes her so special. I always thought that I would always be a bachelor, that I would die one too. No prospects of having a wife or children of my own. To have to understand that I saw my mother dying in my own arms. I couldn't bare to have my child go through that. The life I had chosen for myself didn't allow my to have dreams of having my own family. I live in a dangerous world, a world that has not place for children. That was before I met Isabella and that is why I have since changed my mind about so many things. You see now, not only am I in love with this woman but I love her enough to want to have children with her.
Hannah's POVI have never seen a man so loving, a man so brave and a man so strong. I love Bradley and that I am sure of. I didn't think that he would be the one I would end up with but in the end I finally know who I want to spend the rest of my life with. Hannah was taken a few weeks ago and Bradley managed to get her back. He said that he had plans to make sure that Sebastian pays for what he did to her. I never thought that he was into that kind of life, that he was a kink.I mean I didn't exactly dismiss the thought that Brandon might be a kink but I had no idea what my sister went through. After the abduction, I took it upon myself to have a little chat with her. I thought that it would be best if I understood what she knows about the underground world. Brandon had to come clean about why she ran away. I will tell you that this was the last thing I expected to be, talking to my sister about her sex life with her husband.&
Hannah's POVI was sitting in the chair looking outside, there was firewood burning in the fire place and Sebastian was on his computer. I want to leave but I know that it would be impossible with him lurking around the cabin. He has basically held me hostage, not that it would make any difference if I reported it no one would believe me. I don't know what his plans for me are but I have a feeling that he won't let me go, well not alive that is. He would rather kill me than let me leave. When I divorced him, he promised to find me.Back then I thought that he was just making idle treats and as years passed, I thought that he had forgotten about me. I thought that he would have another person to fulfill his needs. I suppose that I was wrong because here I am in a cabin in the middle of nowhere with no way to get home. I had so many regrets and the biggest one was that I ran away like I did. It was cowardly especially since I know it in
Brandon's POVI wasn't always like this you know? I wasn't always this guy who would go to the ends of the world for someone they love, that was until I met Hannah. I just didn't know how deep her scars were. Now that I know what really happened to her, I understand why she acted the way she did when I showed her the sex dungeon. I suppose at the time I realised that I should have told her about this sooner. I would have gotten myself a chance to explain to her, I would never hurt Hannah no matter what.I was going Crazy trying to figure who might have taken her and now that we know who it is, I feel even more scared for her. That man is a monster and I am afraid of what he might do to her. I pray that I find her alive and well. I know that I won't be able to forgive myself if anything happens to her. I knew that she was not okay but I still let her go, I should have insisted that she stays at home and talk to me, that we solve things.
Isabella's POVI have spent time with Tristan and it has been wonderful, we have both established that we love each other and than maybe we could actually have a relationship but we also know that it won't be a normal relationship because I am also in love with his brother. I also want to be with him as well. I don't know how this is going to work but I know that I can't have one without the other. I told this to Bradley who decided to surprise me with a weekend away in Hawaii. I couldn't say no to that.When we got there, I found out that he had a beach house, one with a beautiful view of the ocean. The sand was so white and the water was so blue and clear. Waking up in that place was like I was waking up in heaven. The last few weeks have shown me that Bradley is a romantic guy, he is loving, kind and he spoils me rotten. I wanted to tell him about what I was thinking concerning our relationship when our plans got interrupted a
