"What?! I have a bad feeling about this Bella, maybe you should resign, there's a lot more job you can do," I told Kara everything that happened, and as expected, she wants me to resign from my job. I can't blame her though, there's something about Dominic that I can't just understand. "I don't know about that. You saw me applying for a lot of job, and this is the only company who hired me." [Ding!] I looked at my phone to see who texted me and saw his name appear on the screen. "Who's that?" she asked, and I showed her my phone and it made her frown even more. "He said we have a business meeting to attend to outside of the city," "And he's bringing you with him?" "Well, yeah, that is part of my job description," I said, and I honestly cannot make up Kara's face anymore. Even a talented artist would have a hard time drawing the look on her face. "Absolutely not! He's creepy, Bella. I heard rumors about him being a total psycho, and also that yesterday he fired m
In a dimly lit room, a woman's breath was resonating so loudly as she panted for air, seemingly uncomfortable as she arched her back, clawing at the sheets beneath her body, her face and neck red, completely intoxicated, her eyes looking left and right as if searching for something. The door suddenly creaked open, allowing the light from outside to enter. Isabella saw this and her eyes darted in the direction of the door. She saw a figure coming in and her body trembled even more. “What do we have here,” A dark voice penetrates her ears and for some reason, the heaviness she felt in her body subsided upon hearing the man's dark yet alluring voice. “Tsk! It seems Alfred is taking my joke too seriously, actually bringing a woman into my room,” Isabella can feel the mattress shift down as the man sat beside her. The man reeked of alcohol, probably drunk. In the dark, she could see his faint appearance. The light of the moon perfectly casted on the man's face. “Did you purp
Isabella opened her eyes when she felt warmth on her face. The light of the sun casted perfectly in her bare face, creating an enthralling scene that would surely hypnotize men who would see her.Her eyes glowed with a leisure glint in them as she assessed what was happening around her, drowsy from the event that happened last night.She tried to move and get the white blanket off of her but the moment she made the slightest movement, a nerve-wracking pain spread all throughout her body.“What the…” She hissed, touching her buttocks. She gritted her teeth as she placed her feet down the floor.“Where am I, and what happened? Why do I feel like I got run over by a train?” she mumbled to herself, massaging her temples.She got up, still suppressing the pain from her lower body. When she got up, she was about to walk away when she saw in her peripheral vision, the tinge of blood in the white cover of the mattress. “What is this?” Her heart raced, and not a second passed, sh
“Are you crazy?! You left home, where are you going to sleep now?” Isabella’s friend, Kara stressfully waved her arms around in front of her.They were now at her apartment, she is the only person she could run to. They’ve been best friends ever since they were kids, so they’re bond was naturally closer. Kara’s mother was her mother’s helper, but after her mother’s death they had to move out, but nevertheless they still kept contact. “I was hoping I could stay here for a while till I figure things out.” She replied, smiling sheepishly at her friend who was eyeing her as if she was crazy. “Bella…You do know I’m not rich like you right? I can barely keep up with my rent, you can’t expect me to provide for the both of us.” Kara said, sighing heavily as she sat down beside her.“I care for you Bella, really. But this…I have a lot of responsibilities on my hand, with mom’s medication and my college fees…” Kara stopped, then her brows knitted together as her eyes moved to Isabella’s
“Are you just going to stand there?” Dominic said with a deep voice, sending chills down her spine, and at the same time she vaguely recalled the things he said to her that night as she heard his voice making her face heat up. She can’t help but give him a disgusted look, he is already engaged yet he actually cheated on his fiancé like it’s nothing. Isabella didn’t realize that she’s been standing frozen all this time, her face scrunched up into a frown, it’s as if the time had totally stopped on her, and the next thing she knows, Dominic is already standing right in front of her. His eyes boring into her soul, examining all the little action she does. “Are you deaf? Did you not hear me?” Isabella snapped out of her stupor, and accidentally looked him in the eyes, her green eyes meeting his cold ocean blue eyes. “Uh…I—I’m sorry sir,” she quickly bowed her head down not wanting to meet his gaze. She feels like any time she would melt by how intense he was looking at her. No
Isabella stood in front of the woman who guided her yesterday to Dominic’s office. She learned that her name was Anne, and that she has worked in the company more than half of her life which she highly commends, since it’s probably not easy to maintain such a high position here, which only means she must be really good at her job. “That’s everything you have to know. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask me or anyone, okay? And I really hope you last longer than his previous assistants,” Anne told her. “Why? What happened before that made them quit?” Isabella couldn’t help but ask. She’s still wary about everything, and hearing her talk like that made her restless heart even more restless. “Well, to tell you the truth…” Anne stopped for a moment and looked around, making sure that no one was eavesdropping on them. “Mr. Russo is a bit of a playboy before,” “A little bit?” Anne laughed, “Well actually not a little, more like this much,” she said, spreading he
Isabella sat quietly on her desk that was next to Dominic’s. She wasn’t given any particular task yet, so she have nothing better to do than stare at the wall in front of her. Dominic looked at her through his peripheral vision and noticed her rather bored look, and a mischievous idea suddenly ran to his mind. Heh, it’s not bad to take a little revenge for breaking his frame, right? “Do you mind, bringing this to the third floor, these are important documents that needs to be signed.” He gave her a stack of paper that was lying around. “All of these?” “Yes, is there a problem?” He asked with a dead expression, but deep down he was smiling whenever she feels rattled when he looks at her. “No-no, there’s nothing wrong sir. I’ll get it done right away,” she rambled, and swiftly carried the papers that piled up to reach her head, she walked to the door, but had trouble opening it since her hands were full. Dominic looking at her sorry state decided to lend her a little hand,
"What, really?! Are you thinking of quitting now cause I think you should." Isabella talked with Kara outside a cafe just a few blocks from her workplace. She told her everything, and as a friend, of course Kara became concerned for her. Since she's also the one who introduced her to the job. Dominic didn't show up in the morning since he had a meeting outside, and she was relieved at some point since she feels every time he's around, the air is always tense, as if someone is always watching her every move. Maybe she's overthinking things, but she can't help if that's how she really feels. Not to mention that she's working for the man she had sex with. Maybe the rumors are true about him. But then again, she can't judge a person based on rumors. "Sigh, I don't know. But I can't, I finally have a good paying job, I can't afford to lose this," Isabella sipped her coffee, tilting her head to the window to see the cars passing by. She looked at the clock, and seeing that i
