Alexander Martinez's pov;

What am I supposed to wear today? I always wore suits because I only went to my firm or other companies for business meetings so it was never a problem, but today I was perplexed. How come? Since I accepted Isabella's invitation to a date. Why did I accept it? I wouldn't be in this situation if I hadn't agreed. After heaving a sigh, I grabbed a suit.

When I stepped down the stairs, I found Isabella standing idle in the middle of the stairs without moving a bit. Why didn't she move? What on earth is she doing by standing like a mannequin?

I asked her, "Are you planning to remain here the entire day?"

I stepped down and went to the eating area after she moved away.

From across the corridor, she addressed me, "Mr. Martinez!"

I waited for her to complete her phrase. She looked pissed off.

"You should have told me in advance if you have to go to the office. Why did you agree to me yesterday and now, you're ready to leave for the office?"

"What?"

"You should have

    Isabella's pov;Sunday morning,"Going to work?" While I was eating breakfast at the dining room table, Big Brother questioned me."No." and carried on eating."What will you be doing while dressed like this, then?""I'm heading to my house to get a few things I need." "Eat gently, then. Why are you rushing?"I nodded and carried on with my meal, this time more slowly.I questioned him as I was eating, "How is Mr. Martinez doing? He was meant to be at home today, wasn't he? Why did he still show up to work on weekends?"He nodded and continued, "The cause is unknown to me as well. Perhaps a situation arose in the office.""Are you really his secretary?""Yes, I am his secretary, but so what? I don't need to know where he goes or what he does every time because I'm not his bodyguard.""Wow, I didn't know you could speak like that, Big brother. Actually, there's been this question in my mind whenever you talk about Mr. Martinez, Can I ask?" I grinned and remarked."What was that?""You

    Isabella's pov;"No letter is present! not sophisticated knowledge! not an account! Nothing was present. Where did you go during this time? What did you do during that time? Charlotte covered both of the shifts for you since you weren't present. She deserves your gratitude for accomplishing that for you. Your home address, phone number, or anything else is unknown to us. Even though this place doesn't hire outsiders, I accepted you to work here because you're my brother's friend. And, how do you repay it?" Becky questioned me."I apologise.""I'm not in need of your excuse. If you weren't there during your shifts, please provide a valid explanation. Where have you been?""My... Actually, I didn't want to say this as an excuse but I want to be honest. My mother underwent surgery recently so I took care of her. Since I got upset with my mother, I drank a lot of booze and got alcohol poisoning. I needed some time to recover from it. Guess, I took a pretty long time. I'm sorry, Becky." Be

    Isabella's pov;"How far along are you with getting ready for your final exam?" Noah asked me a question while I was unpacking my books out of my bag fors Devlins hour.I replied to him, "Ah! I didn't even think about that.""What do you mean by that? You speak as though you're just getting started," Sophia said to me.I glanced over to Sophia and replied, "Yup!""Are you really aware of the exam? This is what gets you to college or did you plan to stay in high school for one more year?"Everyone moved back to their positions as Ms. Devlin entered the classroom. Escaped! I let out a sigh of relief.After the session, I put my books back inside my bag and tried to leave for the next class, but my friends surrounded and gawked at me.I asked, "What?""Come to the study session with us." Evelyn ordered."Whaaat? No!"Sophia said, "Basketball can help you score points, but it won't help you achieve excellent grades."Noah responded with wide eyes, "Really?

    Isabella's pov;"Go on."While Harry was looking and waiting for a response from me, I sighed and began to search for an explanation. However, I lack any. I said it because I wanted to get away from him and didn't realise he would wait all day and catch me while I was practising basketball.I asked him, "For you, wasn't it getting late? I mean, it's 5:00 p.m. You should have left for home by now, right?""Nah! I already informed my driver that I'll be late today, so it's fine with me.""I… I…""Are you proposing to this guy?" Ikea questioned me after hitting me with a ball.She rejected my attempt to hurl the ball over her face and asked Harry, "Why does your face look familiar to me?"Harry answered, "You probably saw me in the noticeboard and the school's official website displaying mine and Isabella's…"I interrupted him before he could continue and said to Ikea, "Don't you already have practise? I remember that there is still time for practice, therefore I should return to the matc

    Isabella's pov;I said to Harry who was on a call with me, "I waited to call you first, but I was afraid you wouldn't pick up after what had happened, so I didn't. You called me, which surprised me.""I enjoy hearing you speak in this manner. Is this how you communicate with your friends?" Harry inquired."Yeah, but why?""It feels like you're being yourself when you speak like this, and you've started to like me back, right?""No!"He never passed up an opportunity. I chuckled in secret. "I was kidding but not really kidding," he said, laughing.Suddenly, Ethan barged into my room while I was on the phone with Harry.Ethan asked me, "Who's on the line, Bella?""I'll talk to you tomorrow," I told Harry. And then I ended the call. Ethan ran up to me, hugged me, and asked, "Is that your boyfriend? Did I come in the middle of your romance?""He's… It's complicated.""Okay. I've got it!""Hey! I forgot to inquire about it. Why did you hug me without my concern?"He clasped both of my han

    Isabella's pov;"Hello, Tori!"I waved my hand at Victoria, who was cleaning the glasses with a cloth behind the stand.I continued, "I forgot to ask you before, do you only serve customers here or do you also serve VIPs?""Only the customers in this area. The boss told me that I needed to learn more before serving them. Hey! Have you heard about the new member? He appears to be cool and handsome, but he is younger than me. Not a chance to flirt.""FYI. You also have a boyfriend, Tori.""Hahaha. That's correct. So, did you happen to see him?""No, I haven't," I said, shaking my head."How come you come across as uninterested?""It's because I'm not.""And why is this so?""Um, I have final exams in a few days, so I need to keep my mind steady.""Oh, you're serious? I'm sorry. Bella, do your best." And gave a thumbs up."I appreciate it."Tori said to me as I was arranging the glasses on the counter, "Hello, Bella! Can you bring these to table four?""Sure, sure.

    Isabella's pov;"Why didn't you say you and Harry went to the same high school?" Tori inquired while I was arranging the shots in a row."I forgot to tell you, and you didn't ask me." I said with a chuckle."He's been working here for a month and yet you kept it a secret from me.""How, by the way, did you find it?""Harry informed me. He also did not tell it on his own. It was difficult to get it out of his mouth because he is so close-lipped.""Really? I think he was toying with you. He's not a tight lipped person like you said. He's a public noticeboard, he won't keep things to himself. You could have asked me, if you wanted to know." I said with a chuckle."I considered it, but you were too busy serving customers. Do you always work that hard?""It's only for the weekend," I said, nodding."Wait, you talk like you know about him so well. Is he really just a friend?" "Yes. Only a friend.""Am I really your friend?" Harry teased me while trying to take a shot from the plate I arrang

    Isabella's pov:When I awoke, I realised I was no longer in Mr Martinez's house, but in mine. I looked at the empty mattress beside me that Mr Martinez had spread out on the floor before leaving in the middle of the night. I didn't even ask if he had returned home.I sighed and got out of bed, rolling up the mattress and storing it in the corner.After showering, I changed into my school uniform. My usual breakfast consisted of instant cup noodles. At Mr Martinez's house, I missed eating Kirk's dishes. He would always surprise me with a new dish every morning because I adored his cooking. I felt happy and good after eating his food every morning like it was some kind of energy to my everyday life. I walked out of the house after taking my belongings to school. My phone started ringing while I was holding the door knob to lock it. I let go of it and looked through my pockets and discovered the sound coming from inside the house. I pushed open the door and searched for my phone. It was

    Isabella's pov;Noah, Evelyn, Sophia, Carey, Liam, Jenny and I gathered at Sophia's house since Mr Martinez's house was surrounded by the cops."Why did you ask me to bring these things?" I said as I dropped the bag on the floor. "Do we really require this?""If we're going to rescue someone, we have to be prepared when the attackers come for us," Noah explained."Why do you sound like we're in a crime movie?" Sophia inquired of Noah.I took six walkie talkies, gave one to each of us, and kept one for myself."What are you going to do with these?" Evelyn asked as she took the handcuffs from the bag.Noah, "I don't remember asking you to bring the handcuff. What is this for? Or did you bring this for your foreplay?"I hit him on his head and said, "Foreplay, my a**. After saving Alexander, we can catch them using this and hand them over to the cops."Sophie, "We're going to fight them?"Evelyn said, "We're going to save Alexander, not going to fight with those guys.

    Isabella's pov;I came to Mr Martinez's house to confess my feelings properly to him. When I entered the premises, there were a lot of guards patrolling outside the house. One of the guards asked me while I tried to enter the gate, "Who are you? What are you doing here?" "I'm Isabella. I came to…" Before i finished, the guard who knows me came and explained to the new guard and let me in the house. Why are there so many guards out here? I walked in the pathway and entered the house. When I entered the house, it felt like I'm entering a police station because there were a lot of cops inside the house and there was equipment placed here to there in the house. Equipment which is used by the cops. One of the cops was operating a device which looked like a scanner, some were talking in walkie talkies.One of the cops came to me and asked, "Who are you? Who let you in? How did you enter the house?" And inquired in the walkie talkie that, "I asked you not to allow anyone inside the house,

    Isabella's pov;"Sorry for disturbing you in the middle of the night; I had no idea where to go. That is why I have come here.""It's all right. You are welcome to visit me at any time." With his words, Harry consoled me.I went to Harry's house because he was the only person who came to mind while I was wandering through the park.I took a look around the house and asked, "Are you the only one here? Where have the others gone?""They moved to Atlanta about a year ago.""Didn't you go with them?""I stayed behind by myself.""How come you didn't join them?""I waited for someone to come back."I'm afraid that it wasn't for me."Um… Can I stay here for a few days if you allow it?""Can I ask?" he nodded, handing me a glass of water."I'm not in the mood to talk about anything. I'm exhausted. Can I sleep now?""Okay, fine. Come with me, and I'll show you to the room."In the middle of the night,Harry tapped on my shoulders and asked me to wash my face because I was crying since I steppe

    Isabella's pov;Mr Martinez gave me a peck on my cheek before joining me for breakfast. Why is he kissing me everytime he sees me? I let out a yawn while eating my food. "When did you go to sleep last night?" "Around 11."He patted my head and said, "Go to sleep before 10 from now on.""Mr Martinez?" I used a soft voice.He let out a chuckle and asked, "What is it?""Do I… still need to… pay that… ten million dollars?" "You should.""What!?""No matter who you become to me. You have to pay the compensation." "That's not fair."He patted my head and said, "Work hard and pay me back." and made a smile. While leaving for the company, he quickly gave me a kiss on the lips and said, "I'll be back soon." Which made me smile.I waved at him when he was leaving the house. It feels like we're newlyweds.In the afternoon, a maid informed me that there is a package waiting for me at the doorstep. I came downstairs to check what it was. It was a big package. What might be inside this packag

    Isabella's pov;Returning to California,I sat down on the bed and stared at the ceiling. The kiss came back to me. Because I was shy, I rolled on the bed. He gave me a kiss. Did he kiss me? He kissed my lips!!! It was fantastic!! Where did he get that skill? Why was his kiss so delicious?I could still feel his lips on mine when I touched my lips. He was gentle, passionate, hot, and steamy. It had every flavour that a kiss should have. Why am I so fixated on his kiss? Why can't I get it out of my head?Someone came to the door and knocked. I got out of bed and walked to the door, which I opened."Big brother?""I heard you and Mr Martinez went to Ethan's wedding," he said as he walked in."Yeah, we had a good time.""Did anything happen over there?""Like, like what?""I'm not sure. Perhaps it's a fight or a quarrel?""No, it was incredibly peaceful and enjoyable.""Really?""Mmmhmmm.""Then why is he acting that way?""Like, what way?""Mr Martinez did not appear well in the morning.

    Isabella's pov;After ten minutes, I took him to our hotel room. I walked to the bed, closing the door behind me. I carefully placed him on the bed and sat beside him. What do I do now? I didn't ask him what I should do after making him this way."Can you speak, Mr Martinez?"While lying on the bed, he mumbled something. Did I put too much in his drink?When Mr Martinez mumbled something else, I approached him and asked, "What did you say?""I'm getting hot... I'm getting hot..." In his place, he squirmed like a worm."Wait.""How are you feeling now, Mr Martinez?" I asked as I turned on the air conditioner."It's... it's hot... hot…"I raised the temperature to 16 degrees, but he still squirmed on the bed, as if he was in pain."Mr Martinez, I'm at a loss for what to do. I'm sorry... Mr Martinez, please accept my apologies. I had no idea you'd be in such pain. Mr Martinez, please accept my apologies.""Take me to the shower," he said as he drew me closer to him."Huh! Okay, fine. I've

    Isabella's pov;.On the way to the United Kingdom to attend Ethan's wedding,"Are you still upset with me?" Asked as he walked alongside me into the airport.I ignored him as I dragged my suitcase into the airport.He got boarding passes for both of us and sat beside me at the waiting area.Mr Martinez inquired, "Why are you still upset? We'll be at your brother's wedding. You should be content right now."I ignored him and inserted earphones into my ears to begin listening to music.After many passages, we boarded the plane and walked to our seats. However, our seats were quite far apart. Why did he get seats like this? Instead of Mr Martinez, who was supposed to be there, there was a guy who's on the seat beside mine. "Sit with me," I said, staring at him and taking my seat.Mr Martinez approached us and asked the guy beside me, "Sir, Can we switch seats? My seat is located over there. Can you please go ahead and take that seat?""Why should I have to? I like this seat, and there's

    Isabella's pov;I was standing in front of the park where Harry had invited me to meet him."Shall we go in?" Mr Martinez inquired.I nodded and followed Mr Martinez into the park.As I walked through the park, I looked around for Harry."Bella!"I turned to face the source of the noise. It's Harry calling. He suddenly ran up to me and hugged me. I forgot everything and hugged him back when he hugged me warmly.He broke the embrace and held my cheeks together, asking, "How are you doing? When did you return here?""I'm not sure which question to answer first." I said with a nervous chuckle."It's all right. Give it your all."Mr Martinez cleared his throat to remind me that he was still present."He's Alexander Martinez, CEO of Skyland Corporation," I said to Harry, pointing to Mr Martinez."I'm aware of him. What exactly is he doing here, Bella?"I looked at Mr Martinez to see how he would react, but to my surprise, he appeared calm."Why did you ask that, Harry? What if those words h

    Isabella's pov;During the graduation celebration,Big brother inquired, "Why are you standing here by yourself, Isabella? The party's for you. You should be enjoying it with your friends rather than being alone.""I'm not feeling well.""What is it?" He checked my temperature and said, "You don't look like you're sick. Does it hurt…"Before he finished, I said, "No... my friends have arrived...""So?""It's strange to talk to them."He patted my shoulder and said, "Simply go talk to them. You won't feel strange once you start talking to them.""Are you certain about that?"He indicated with a nod."Okay."I approached my friends, who were gathered in the hall, each holding a glass of wine."Hey! What were you doing? We were waiting for you." Noah stated."I was around here."Sophia dragged me along and forced me to sit with them, asking, "Are you embarrassed?""How do you find it so easily?"
