Brandon's POV
They say that when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. I wish I knew how to make lemonade out of the sour taste my father has made for us. I swear my father thinks that the world revolves around him. He thinks that he can do anything without any questions. I don't know I like the way things are going right now. Last night's family dinner was a disaster, I must admit that it has been a while since we have had that kind of drama. I don't know where it all began or how this even happened but I know that things are bad.
Let me break it down for you, last night was suppose to be a normal family dinner but instead it turned out to be something totally different. I was the second one to arrive, it was rather strange finding Tristan there, I say this because he is always the last one to arrive. I also thought that I will see Isabella there like my father had asked of him but that didn't happen. Tristan said that Isabella had come dow
Isabella's POVI don't know if it just me but I feel like Tristan has been acting a little strange for the last few days. He is very distant and even when he is here, it is like his mind is elsewhere. I think that it has to do with the family dinner he went to on Sunday. He came back earlier than I thought he would and when he did, he didn't say anything to me. He just went to the liquor cabinet and poured himself a drink, he had another one and went straight to his bedroom.I didn't even know if I should even ask him anything so I just sat there and binged on Netflix. I had my wine with me. I went to bed late and when I woke up he was already gone for work. Still I paid no mind to it, it's not like this is a real relationship and so he doesn't have to kiss me goodbye. I finally decided to enroll into a programme, they offered online classes but I decided to enrol as a full time student. I was waiting for a reply and if I
Tristan's POV"Let Isabella go..." My father's words kept on playing in my head.I should have known that Bradley will fight with everything in him. He tells me that he wants me to leave my Isabella alone, that I must let her out of the contract and declare open season. I don't think that he know what he is asking me to do. Yes I have a contact with Isabella but it is not all black and white. There's a lot of grey areas in between. My father is asking me to give up the one person I want in my life.I know Bradley, he is the ladies man in the family. He my heartless and ruthless in with his type of business but when it comes to women, he just has a special way with them and now he has his eyes on Isabella. He was willing to walk away from everything only if I gave him Isabella and now my father has made things worse for me. He doesn't know this but he has just put me under a very difficul
Isabella's POVDinner was lovely, I didn't plan on having a guest during dinner but I couldn't exactly say no to Bradley and I am glad that I did. I haven't had a wonderful time like that in a while. The food was great and the conversation was flowing. I had the time of my life. I suppose one can even say that it refreshing. He then took me out for ice cream and that too was lovely. Brian was there watching me like a hawk. I suppose it was his job to watch over me. I had my last spoon and put the spoon in the bowl."Now tell me if that was not the best Ice cream you have ever had." Bradley asked me."Honestly I would give it a nine out of ten, we had this old woman working for us when I was growing up, she would make us ice cream, I still say that I have never had ice cream like that before." I said."W my mother was a great cook but she hated sweets bu
Tristan's POVI have come to a point in my life where I know that I have to do what is best for me. Isabella is a beautiful and intelligent woman but maybe she might not be the woman for me. I mean she has just proven to me that she came be trusted, I turn my back for a minute and she runs into my brother's arms. I realise how stupid this whole thing is and that I am better than this, much much better. I think it's time I became a little selfish. Just for once I want to do what I want to do and not what is expected of me.This whole time I have been doing everything I can to build my father's empire, I did that and now it's time for me to do things on my own. I have worked so hard in the name of building a legacy for my father but not it is time to build a legacy for myself. No more mister nice guy over here. I know that the least I can do is to tell my father face to face about it.I love Isabella and I want her in my l
Isabella's POVWaking up in an empty apartment has pretty much been a norm these days, at least back at Tristan's house there was staff so I wasn't always alone. I always had someone in the house with me, right now it is only me and I am bored as hell. I still have a week till class starts. I have decided to go forward with furthering my schooling. Even if it means paying for the tuition myself. I wish I could convince my heart to listen to what my mind already knows, that is for me to forget about Tristan.I did notice t think that it was possible but it happened, I always thought that maybe I would be the one to break the contract but Tristan beat me to it. I didn't know that he hated his brother that much and frankly, I didn't get it. Bradley was just being nice to me and I am glad that he showed up when he did or I would have had dinner on my own which I probably would have hated, he was just being friendly and I felt so co
Bradley's POVLife is about choices but I didn't choose to fall in love with Isabella and now I can't get over her. I want her and I am willing to do all that I can to make sure that I get her. I didn't that Tristan would actually fall for this, that he would let Isabella go. I know that he wants her as much as I do. I suppose he has himself to blame for all of this, he should have never tried to play dirty with me, he knows that I am far better than that. He knows that I play the game better.Even then this is bigger than just our ego's, hearts are on the line here. My own heart is at stake here, if Tristan was really serious about Isabella, he would have made sure that she doesn't get away from him, he should have just been truthful. I know that it looks like I am stabbing my brother in the back but I swear that I have never wanted any woman as much as I want her. This is why I want toake sure that she ends up with me. I also know that I c
Tristan's POVThis has officially been the worst night of my life. I hate being here and I hate my brother even more than I have before, he had just ruined the relationship we had only just begun, I thought that we were in a good place but I realised that I might have been wrong. I don't know how my father expects me to just sit here and be happy when he had just ripped my heart out of my chest. I hate this, all of it. Why would Isabella show up here with him? Does this mean that he has won?This whole night has been nothing but a nightmare, everyone was looking at them, I hate to admit this but I was even jealous of the attention my brother got, he took my place, my spotlight and now I am about to bring down the house. I suppose this is the perfect moment to do that, especially since everyone is in such a happy mood. We had gone through most of the night and we had just had dinner, now everyone was happy, as angry and as hurt as I was, I di
Bradley's POV I knew that coming here with Isabella was going to steer up some tension between my little brother and I but I didn't think that he would act so radical. My father looks like he is about to pop a vain, I can't remember the last time I saw him this angry. I don't understand why Tristan would do this, why he would act like this, there is a way to do things and this is not it, he just announced that he is leaving the family business, something we should have discussed with the family, this is just crazy. "What the hell does your brother think he is doing? This could ruin us." My father said in an angry voice. " He has lost his mind all over again." Brandon said. He might be right, my father was right as well, what he is doing will do more harm than good, he established this business, he is the one with the clients, people trust him with their money, we all kno
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
