The Billionaire’s Affair Chapter 19: Pretending
"So where are you taking me for lunch?" I asked him. "There's a fancy restaurant outside, if you agree, I would like to take you there," he said. I shrugged my shoulders and he quickly grabbed my hand and this guy dragged me from the second floor all the way to the parking lot as if we we're in a freaking running contest. ... "We could have taken the elevator you know!" I glared at him when we areached his car. I was so out of breathe and this prick just laughed at my condition. "At least we got a good exercise out of it," he said, and I'm sure my face is like a tomato right now by how furious I am. "Please step inside, princess," he gestured as he opened the passenger door. Even though I'm angry at him, I'm still true to my words. So I'll go to lunch with him, and after this, I'll make sure I don't see him ever again. ... He took me to a restaurant that was a five minute drive from the mall. It was an elegant looking restaurant, a michellin holder in fact. So I'

“Wow, Isabella, you eat a lot, huh?” I closed my eyes, hearing another annoying remark from Fiona. The whole time we’ve been eating she has done nothing but say veiled mean things about me. That I eat a lot, that I have poor manners, that I don’t have any etiquette. Can’t she just leave me alone for five seconds? I suddenly felt a strong call of nature. I stood up quickly, “I have to use the restroom,” I said, leaving hurriedly. I rushed to the cubicle and did my business. After I was done, I washed my hands and prepared to go back. And the moment I got out, I feel like my soul left my body when I saw Dominic standing by the door, looking at me with an unreadable expression. “Dominic, what are you doing here? This is the ladies,” I asked, but he didn’t answer. He just stared at me. “Dominic?” “Is he really you’re boyfriend?” He asked in a chilly tone. “Um, yeah,” I said. He walked towards me slowly, “Liar” he uttered. “When we were at the resort you told me me you

"So what will you do now?" Aiden asked as I tend to his bruise. "What else can I do? I'll just go look for another job. I'm sure I can find a job out there," I said, not saying the part where I almost puked blood just to land my first ever job. "If you want, my older brother runs his own company, maybe I can get you in," he said. "You don't have to do that, you have already done a lot for me," I declined. I don't want to give him the impression that I'm just using him. "Oh come on, his company gives great benefits, plus, he even offers to fund scholarships, it'll help you with your studies so you can finally go to college," he said, and I was taken aback for a second. "How did you..." "I can tell. You work full time at Dominic's company but you have a lot of books under your bed. It's really a no brainier," he shrugged and kept quiet. I looked down and indeed the books I bought were visible down there. This guy is something else, he's very keen and observant. And

"So let me ge this straight, you got fired the other day, then you got hired yesterday, and now you're moving out?" Kara said, walking back and forth while I sat down, looking at her going on and on like that for ten minutes now. "Yeah," I answered her, massaging my temples."And where are you moving again?" "To my boss's house," "Yeah... right, of course. And ummm...you agreed to it?" "Well, yeah," She has her hand on her waist, her face looking stressed. I know she's worried about me, not to mention I told her the truth why I quit."Isabella, not that I don think you can make it on your own. But this world is full of bad people. Why don't you just go back...""No," I stood up, "I can't go back. I'm finally free from their clutches, if I go back home it's like I'm admitting defeat to them. And I can't let them have that Kara, I just can't." I said to her and she covered her face with her hands as she sat down. "You know mom has been asking a lot about you. Why don't you go talk

Aiden was the one driving. It must've been half an hour before we reached their house, or rather it's more fitting to say the word 'mansion'. "Are you excited?" "Not more than you," "Don't worry, my brother just seem like a grumpy person but he is actually very nice guy," he said. I recalled me and Hayden's first interaction, and that image still remained stuck in my head. "Hey, are you listening to me?" Aiden tapped my shoulder. "Huh, yeah, what did you say?" I asked, my head still floating in the clouds. "I said you can get off now. Or do you want me to give you the princess treatment?" He scooched closer, batting hus eyes. "Shut up," I pushed his face away and opened the car door and got off. "Aiden," "Yeah?" "Is it really okay for me to live here?" I asked as we walked to the entrance. "Of course! I'd love to have you here," he muttered, raising his hands up. "And you're brother?" I asked, and his smile slowly faded. "Hmmm...well, he doesn't stay h

As agreed yesterday, me and Aiden went to his academy so I can register. And as expected, his school is not like any other school. It's the school for elite. The Golden Academy. As far as I know they are very much strict with the students they allow to enter. I haven't even passed my credentials yet but they've already accepted me. It's suspicious why such a prestigious academy would allow a girl with no background, but I can only speculate that Hayden has something to do with it. "I'm so excited to have you here with me. We're gonna have so much fun, I'll introduce you to my friends and I'll tour you around campus," Aiden said enthusiastically. He has such a golden retriever vibe. I bet a lot of girls are trying to pursue him. I filed a bunch of papers at the registrar first, and after that, Aiden and I walked around the oval looking at other students. And I swear I saw glares from other girls as they watched me and Aiden walk together. Sigh. I have not even started, ye

I walked towards Aiden and the others and even from afar I could tell that there was something weird going on. Ara was nowhere to be found, and Aiden’s friends were all looking at him, and mind you, not the good kind of look, the kind of look that put someone six feet under. What’s happening? I have a gut feeling as to what could have happened, and seeing Aiden’s expression getting uglier as I got closer only proved my suspicion. “Aiden, what is going on?” I asked him, and he turned his face away. His friend scoffed at his behavior and cursed at him. “This rotten bastard made Ara cry. She finally confessed her feelings, and instead of just rejecting her, he insulted her. Like what the hell, bro! She was your friend, at least you could have rejected her more nicely! Why the insults?!” Leon yelled, pulling his collar. “Leon! Stop that…enough!” Therese intervened and pulled Leon away. I also tried to help by pulling Aiden away, grabbing his arm, but he just swatted my hand away an

I didn't dwell much on what happened yesterday. I also didn't bother telling Aiden about my gut feeling that someone was following me since he'll surely make a big deal out of it. Also, I'm not really sure if someone was indeed following me since I didn't really take a good look and I didn’t see anyone, so I have no evidence. Today, I got up early since it will be my first day at work. Hayden told me that we will be meeting some important people and that I should dress up nicely. I wore the dress Aiden bought for me at the mall a few days ago and I guess I look the part now since Hayden told me we were going in a fancy restaurant. I didn't want to embarrass him so I did extra effort with my make up. I looked at the time and it was almost nine o'clock already. He's probably waiting downstairs for me to finish. Once I was satisfied with how I looked. I smiled at the mirror one last time before walking out of my room. I walked down the stairs and indeed Hayden wa
