Tristan's POV

"You look lovely..." I said to Isabella who was standing on the balcony over looking the garden. There was a huge fountain in the middle. She looked like she was lost in thoughts. I know that because I have been standing for a few seconds and she didn't even notice it. 

When I opened the door and saw her beautiful face, I didn't know wether to kiss her or just dismiss her, I think we know what I chose to do. I told her to go to the balcony and I went to my office to get papers. I know that I have feelings for her but she has made it clear to me that she is not interested in having a relationship with me, infact she shot me down everytime I tried. Now I am not saying that I am giving up but that I have to be careful with her.

I have to thread carefully and protect both my heart and my wallet. A woman like her is lethal, she's beautiful and kind on the outside but her inside is very differe

    Isabella's POVI must admit that when I went to see Tristan, the last thing I expected was for me to leave his place with a contract, I didn't see this one coming at all. When he told me that he wants us to pretend to be in love, I felt a sharp pain in my heart, it was like someone had stabbed me with a dagger. My heart sank but I kept it together, I didn't want to show Tristan how hurt I was that he even suggested something like this, that he is willing to pay me to get what he wants. I don't know but it hurts to know that you are being used.The reality of this whole situation is that Tristan is going to be with me because he wants something from me. Maybe he had feelings for me in the past but now I fear that his heart has lost interest in me, his heart has given up on me, he is doing what he needs to do to get what he wants. Pretty much the same way I used everyone to get what I want. This is the hardest decision of my life, for me to ac

  • The Billion Dollar Scam   Time Is Running Out

    Tristan's POV.It has been a week, a full week and she hasn't gotten back to me. I thought that she would jump at the opportunity to get the money her mother is after. She said that this is the life she has been living ever since their mother told them to take care of them. What kind of mother is that? Why would any other going parent want to pump out their children? I don't think I like this woman very much, she seems like a very toxic person who made her children feel like they had no other choice but to do what she wants.Then again I can't put all the blame on her, both these women were full grown adults when they chose to listen to their mother and become criminals. I am not saying that I am perfect because I am not, all that I know is that they could have chosen a different path, they didn't have to follow in their mother's footsteps. I know this because I chose differently. For years my father had been doing illegal business and I con

  • The Billion Dollar Scam   In Motion

    Isabella's POV I knew the moment I took the contract that my mind had been made up, I know that because it has been the only thing I have been thinking about and after a visit from my mother, I saw that this was the best deal on the table. It is not even about the money anymore, all I want right now is to be with Tristan and if this is the only way to do that then so be it. I love him and I don't think walking away from this is the answer, I will have to prove to him and myself that I am not the person I was before, that there's real change. I looked over the contract, I then realised that I can't just roll over and accept his terms as they were. I had a few things of my own I needed to change, so I made copies of the contract and requested a formal meeting with Tristan, I realised that if he wants to treat this like a business transaction, then I have to be professional about it. I am okay with most of his terms except fo

    Tristan's POVI am glad that Isabella came in and that we discussed the contract, I have told my lawyer to make the changes as soon as possible. I am not the one to complain but I think that I could have done better with her. I should have not been that cold, especially about the baby issue, I guess it never occurred to me that she could actually say no, no matter how much I ordered. I thought that she was like her mother, that she would do anything for money but it looks like I might have been wrong.The way she spoke to me about love and not being able to walk away from her child, that made me realise that maybe I might have judged her too quickly, she didn't have to tell me about her life, she might have been after the money but it looks like she was not interested in mine, I say that because she had every opportunity to be with me and get as money as she could from me, from the first day we were together I never hid the fac

I ignored it thinking that whoever it was would go away, Hannah left for work already and I wasn't expecting anyone, my mother wouldn't show up here after the talk I had with her. I continued with my shower. The Banging went on for a few more seconds and then it stopped. I didn't think that it would ever stop. I dried myself and went to the closet to find something to wear. I had decided that I was going to go around the city and familiarise myself with it. "Hello Isabella..." A voice came from behind me. I froze where I was standing, I knew that voice very well. I froze because this is the last person I expected to see here. I slowly turned around and saw Jack standing there. "Jack! What are you doing here? How did you even get in?" I asked him.

I also don't get why he won't even try or even consider the fact that this experimental treatment might be his only shot at a longer life, he could have years added back to his life. I know he said that he doesn't want treatment but I just can't sit and not do anything, I just can't wait for him to die.I went home with a heavy heart waiting for Monday morning to begin.
