Isabella's POV
I 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
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
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
Isabella POV "Bang! Bang! Bang!" A loud knock came from the door. I was in the shower. 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. "Is that how you
Tristan's POVDinner was not so bad, even if we had a few squabbles with my brother, I don't get why he is so comfortable with the fact that our father is dying, it's like he is happy about the old man kicking the bucket. 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. I had my lawyer fix the contract, he personally delivered it to my office. I must admit that I never in my life thought that I would one day have to.lue about something so big to get what I want. What have I turned into? I mean is this the man I really want to be? I don't know if I can just pretend not to love her when we are together, and pret
Isabella's POVIt has been a wonderful few days of some peace and tranquility, apart from my mother who thinks that we hate her because we won't pay for her hotel stay, I told my mother to think about getting a job and it was like I insulted her. She is not willing to get a job at all. She said that she was working a mark of her own and that she almost has him. I don't know what she plans on doing with the test of her life but I know that I am no longer part of it.I am finally free of my mother, as for my ex, I haven't seen him since he showed up here unannounced, I haven't told my sister about his little visit, I don't know how she was going to react to that, as the contract states, I will have to move in with Tristan in a short while, I know that he won't be able to get me there. On the other hand things are looking up for me. Tonight I am going to start at my new job at a gentleman's club downtown.I mu
Tristan's POVThe last couple of days have been nothing but amazing, coming here with my family was definitely a good idea, this trip has really brought us together, even my older brother had brought down his walls, he was sober for a change, which was good. I never thought that I would ever enjoy fishing, not like I do now. Our father have us a crash course in fishing yesterday, we didn't catch much but atleast we caught something, today he decided that he will be sitting by the lake and watch us catch fish, I hoped that would be all that he would do but I was wrong.As usual, everything has to be a competition with my father, this day was supposed to be a fun day for me and my brothers and now we are in competition, whoever gets the biggest fish gets my father's vintage Aston Martin. It's a collector's item, one that he never drives, my brother's used to joke about who would get the car because all of us wanted it, now that we all have a c
Isabella POVGoing to work with my sister was not such a bad idea after all, I managed to get some work done and she was a big hit with the ladies that worked here. I can even say that maybe this was for the best, I mean she got to relax a bit more about what happens in the club. It's a gentleman's club, there's alcohol and booze but defined no drugs. Even the ladies are not take or bring in drugs into the premises. My first night was great, my sister left just before midnight, I stayed until two thirty.One of the ladies told me that I had my own private room that I can use for the nights where I get to work until too late. I went in and took a look around the room, it was beautiful, there was a huge four post king sized bed. It had its own bathroom with both a standing bath and shower. They really took their time to make everything perfect. It looked beautiful. I fell in love with it but I know that I can't actually liv
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
