CHAPTER ONE
Isabella’s POV I yawn with a stretch after waking up from my sweet dream. My eyes drowsing sleepily as I turned off the alarm beside my bed. Life isn’t all it seems to be and I’m glad it never took itself harshly on me right from onset. I have everything I will rather call happiness. I stood up from my bed and checked the time. Oh I still have a lot of time. I took my phone to message my boyfriend, Ian to greet him a happy morning and wish him best of luck for the rest of the day. After dropping the text message, I dropped my phone and went into the bathroom and freshen up. My normal everyday routine was always one of the best thing to me. I’ve gotten so used to this simple lifestyle of mine. After bathing,I walked back into my room to dress up. I settled for a tight ripped jean with a t shirt then a sandals before going out after taking my bag and phone which I dropped on the phone earlier. That's how I live my life. Yes like I said earlier, a simple lifestyle with no stress but unlimited happiness. My name is Isabella Maze, I'm 20 years old. I don’t really think anything is special about me except for some facts. I'm the only daughter of my parents and I'm currently working at the five star restaurant,a popular restaurant for the riches. Both celebrities and billionaires comes there to eat and i feel like I'm the luckiest person in the world to be working there. I have a boyfriend, Kelvin, whom I love very much , he’s the one I messaged just every morning to wish him luck in whatever he does for the day and a best friend, Mandy. These four are the most important in my life and I love them all very much just like how much they love me. I plugged in my earpiece listening to one of my favorite song by my favorite artist Like you by Tatiana. I smile walking towards the restaurant with my long brown hair flowing due to the air. Tomorrow is weekend and also my birthday which means an off for me. I can't wait to surprise my boyfriend tomorrow, I've missed him so much. I last saw him last weekend, due to the work I do, I mostly get off at night and during the weekends. I giggled to myself before checking my time. Tomorrow will definitely be one of the best day of my life, I must be overly excited due to the stuffs I want to do tomorrow. "Gosh! I need to walk faster." I thought after checking back my time and began to jog towards the restaurant. In no time,I got to the restaurant, I relaxed my mind a bit before walking in and went into the kitchen to change back my cloth. We have a special room just after the kitchen, we are allowed to wear house wear in and change to the restaurant uniform after getting in. "Good morning Lacey." I greeted smiling before dropping my small bag which only consist of my wallet and some cash. "Morning Bella!" She greeted back and winks at me jokingly, there are lots of characters here in Five star. Lacey is also working here and she's my best after Mandy. We aren’t really close but she do help me out with my work at the restaurant and also save me from the born bitch, Diana. "Oh before I forget,the manager wanna see you." She said looking at me , I was trying to zip up my skirt which I did seconds later. "Oh." I mouthed buttoning up my shirt, I rearrange my polo before tying up my hair in a bun. I dropped the earpiece into my small bag before keeping it in my desk. “Thanks.” I said to her. I got out of the kitchen and walked towards the manager's office road, I got there in two minutes. I readjusted my dress before knocking on his door. "Who's that?" His loud voice was heard, even though we had all our privileges. We all have ranks. Diana serves the VIP section while we stick to the normal ones. "It's Isabella boss." I said politely as I could. Since I got hired here, I’ve always wanted to serve in the VIP section but that’ll only be possible if I’m promoted. "Oh come in dear." He said, I opened the door and went in. He closed the little laptop in front of him and settled his eyes on me. I moved closer to his desk and stopped then bowed my head in respect, Diana doesn’t do all this yet she get promotion everytime. Rumors has it that she’s dating the manager. But I’ve not caught them together, however her reaction at times to the manager is always outrageous. "Good morning boss." I greeted cheerfully, I couldn’t say out his behavior as I was staring at the ground. "Morning Bella." He answered I raised my head up to meet his eyes and he was smiling. My mind calmed down a bit. I sincerely thought I did something wrong. "You called me sir?" I said more like a question to serve my curiosity. "Yes dear." "There's a bit change in shift today so you'll be replacing Diana at the VIP section and she'll be replacing you in the kitchen." he said. "Sorry?" I questioned. "You'll be the one serving the VIP today while Diana will be in the kitchen replacing you." He explained. My mouth dropped in shock, he wasn’t joking. He really wasn’t joking. My tears was almost dropping but I controlled myself. "Oh my gosh,thank you so much sir!" I said almost in tears "It's nothing Isabel,you've been one of the best staff here and I think you deserve this." He smile The door was opened and Diana barged in angrily She glare at me before walking to the manager "What's the meaning of the trash I'm hearing" She asked fuming "Diana where are your manners" I tried cautioning her "Oh really" She laughed dryly at me, her eyes glaring hard as she run her mouth without stopping, "Who do you think you are huh" "You've opened your bitchy legs for him right..." Before she could finish her statements,I slapped her hard across her cheek "I can accept anything but not you calling me a bitch" I glare at her back Diana has always been my rival since we started working here and I don't know why. She hate me really much and I felt baffled why "Bella,you can go,I'll deal with her." The manager said "Okay sir." I smile before walking out closing the door behind me,I'm sure it'll have locked by now "Why don't you stay and listen." My mind said I placed my head on the door and listened very carefully "Why will you switch me with her even when you know how much I hate her..." I heard Diana voice "Oh" I thought "Diana,you know I can never hurt you,you see those coming to the VIP today to eat are dangerous and they don't get easily satisfied " "One of them is the main owner of this restaurant" He said. My smile vanished immediately I heard what he said, "He made me a bait" I thought almost breaking down in tears. But no, I’ll prove them wrong I drag my leg back to the kitchen and change to a VIP waiter clothes, I checked the likely dishes they may ask for and started preparing. Diana came in soon with a wicked smirk, "Wish you luck Isabel" She mocked. I rolled my eyes and continue with what I'm doing I finished it all and smile happily. "Great" I said and checked my time. Just an hour left, I can just go out to buy an ice cream. I rinse my hand then went out, My phone rang in my pocket and I picked it up, "Why's he calling me right now " I thought. Ny boyfriend is the one calling and that surprised me a lot I picked it happily even though I'm still surprised. "Babe." His cool voice came in "Honey." I said "Are you at the restaurant?" He asked and I was shocked "It's still morning babe." I said "Oh yea,sorry " "Talk to you later." He said "Are you okay?" I asked "Yea,why." He answered "You're behaving weird" I shrugged even though he couldn't see me "Nothing babe,im fine" "My boss is calling me,talk to you later,love you" He said and drop the call before I could say anything "Well..." I stood confused for a while before remembering the VIPs will soon be here "Gosh,silly you Isabel" I said tapping my forehead before going back into the restaurant I was unable to buy the ice cream but it's fine by my hormones I laughed at my own funny remark "Ella,where are you all this while,gosh" Lacey's voice bought me out of my thought "Like?!" I raised my brow confused "The VIPs are here Ella" She shouts "What?"CHAPTER TWO Isabella’s POV "What?" I exclaimed shocked, I’m in trouble if they get angry at me for being late to welcome them. I rushed to the VIP section and stopped at the door to compose myself for a while. I breathed in and out before knocking, I entered after a guard opened the door for me. "This people must be damned important" I thought I got to where their table was and bowed. "Welcome to five star restaurant sirs, what can we offer you please?" I asked politely The next thing I heard was a heavy laughter I frowned. "Hey pretty lady" I heard a voice then a hand pulled me taking me off guard. I pulled away and fell down on the floor. "Gosh" My cheeks flushed in embarrassment I stood up and dust my skirt before looking up to see the person. "I'm sorry sir but I won't like any form of molestat..." "Are you trying to say he was molesting you?" A very cold but calm voice interrupted me. My body shake in fear after hearing his voice and turned to the directio
CHAPTER THREE Isabella’s POV I went downstairs and met Mandy in the kitchen, she was cleaning up the dishes and arranging it back with the cutleries. "Hey" I said "What's up with you?" I added "I'm supposed to be asking that Ella" She faced md with a frown "I came to call you the other time and mistakenly heard your conversation with Kelvin" She added "Oh that" I mouthed "Is it really true?" She asked softly "Yea but dont sorry,I'll find another job real soon" I gave her an assuring smile "Now let's forget about it,what are you cooking?" I asked "Oh this" "Spaghetti meatballs" She winks,I chuckled "My favorite" I smile at her "Let me help" I added and we started cooking together After some minutes,we were done cooking and I took it to the sitting room after dishing it in two plates,my house doesn't have a dining. She came to join me after washing her hands We turned on the television and the movie "imitation" was being played. I’m a fans of Korean movies though. Lo
CHAPTER FOUR Isabella’s POV "Kelvin..." The word slowly left my mouth. They both disengaged shocked, I closed my eyes and reopened It to check if I was sleeping Kelvin and Mandy romancing each other,this has to be a lie. "Babe, this was a mistake, I can expla..." "Common Kelvin, we can as well tell her now,no point trying to lie to her" Mandy cuts in "You see Bella, you have always have the good things and when I met Kelvin, I fell in love with him at first sight and I was sure he felt attracted to me also but then I introduce you too, i dont know how you did it,you got him to ask you out, months after you guys dating,he realized he loved me and we have been dating since then, no more stories " Ara roll her eyes before sitting on his laps "You see,Isabel,you are a really nice and beautiful girl and I'm really sorry you had to find out this way" "I can’t continue with this relationship, I love Mandy a lot and I don't think I wanna lose her" Kelvin breathed out, the tears I was
"Sold to what..." I trailed off "We are sorry Ella" Mom looked down in guilt I stared at dad but he had an expressionless face, I stared back at mom then back to the guys. They were looking like bunch of bouncers and mere looking at them, I was scared. "You are sorry?" I asked with a scoff, I don’t know why I felt shocked but at the same time it felt like I expected this already. "Listen guys, settle your score with them, I'm not sold to any motherfucking bastard okay" I shouts By now my tears was rolling down my face. How hard can this life get. The scary guy who didn't say anything since i arrived laughed dryly. He stopped and looked at me, I flinched "Do we look like a joke to you?" He asked with a raised brow, I shook my head negatively scared to say anything "We'll be going now" He announced and they stood up They walked towards me while I shift back "Mom dont let them take me away please" I cried heavily This isn't how I viewed my life, my life was always perfect so
"Serve the what..." I trailed off "He'll be back by night so you should prepare, no mistake or you are dead," She said ignoring me "You may go now" She added before going her way I stood transfixed not knowing what to do, can I serve him without making a mistake "Okay Isabella, think of this as you being a waitress" I calm myself down "Are you done?" I heard Nicole's voice "Huh oh yea," I said "Okay then let's go, you need to learn the rules of serving him, " She said "Okay" I smile lightly We both walked to our room without saying anything to each other I saw the book already placed on my desk when I got to the room. "Who are you serving Nicole?" I asked sitting on my bed with the book in my hand "I'm serving sir Jeremy, the master's closest friend" She squealed staring dreamily "Huh" "He's so handsome Bella" She blushed "Don't tell me you love him?" I asked surprised "I can't help it Bella" She sighs "What if he finds out," I said "Then that means death for me" She
"Strip," He said coldly "What?" I stuttered "Are you questioning me right now?" He asked icily "No...sir" I stuttered remembering the rules My head was still bowed so I took my hands slowly to my shirt button and lost it revealing my bra, with my shaky hands I pulled off my skirt. Now I'm left with my bra and pants. I blinked my eyes ashamed of myself. I was suddenly flipped to the bed, he was on top of me. I couldn't look up even though I know what he wanna do, he tore off my pants and bra and then took off his trousers. I suddenly looked up realizing what he wanted to do. My eyes caught his face and I froze. That guy, that second guy who made me lose my job. I felt something painful enter me and screamed I looked down and saw he already penetrated. "Please..." I choke on my tears as he roughly has sex with me It was really painful and I couldn't do anything but cry, he increased his pace and started going roughly making it feel as if something was cutting through me "P
"Where do you think they are right now" I asked her curiously. "They must be at the main hall" She said standing up with the look of "follow me" I stood up and followed her behind. We soon got to a big hall which was loud, at some side, some were romancing and at some other side, some are having sex. "That's gross" I thought scrunching my face in disgust. "You should get used to it" I heard Cole voice. "Why?" I sighs not knowing if this was a bad idea or good idea. Giving myself fully to that monster, befriending his most trustworthy members and most importantly to make sure he makes me his favorite. I sigh again and stopped when we got to a table. Nicole point at the other table, four people were there playing games I guess. "They are the one" She said. "Then we should go" I said, I wanted to walk to them but she pulled me back. "What are we going to say to them" She raised her brow. "Just watch me" I winks, she gave a small smile, I guess she was scared. We got
I entered his room and the first smell that hit my nose was that of a smoke. "Wait, He's smoking." I gasped Oh no, I'm allergic to smoke. I held in my breath then quickly dropped his food When I couldn't take it anymore, I started coughing and gasping for air, my face became red and my skin started to change color "Smoke" I managed to say still coughing "Cough one more time and you'll be as good as dead" He muttered coldly before facing me "Look at me" He said puffing out the smoke in his mouth on my face My breath stopped and my breathing became more rapid making it hard for me to breath "Please" My eyes getting watery "I'm allergic to smoke" I said "What did you say?" He asked icily puffing out more smoke on my face I shook my head negatively since my I’m finding it hard to breathe now He dropped the smoke and went to sit on his bed. "I'm not that wicked" He rolls his eyes then pressed a button beside him The AC increases and cool air set in I released my breath hold
I rolled my eyes at her reaction, nothing is going to happen to me so why that kind of facial. “I’ll give you the details you might need in finding Antorio but be careful, I’m still thinking that guy is dangerous.” She nods her head to my words, I used my phone to copy down some details back to the big laptop in front of her before standing up. I head towards the door before looking back at her again, she was still staring at me, “You are safe searching for him here, this place block all entrance to location trackers, and don’t tell anyone where I’m off to.” With that I walked out, I went to Seth’s drawer and took one of the gun there. I’ll be back soon babies, my property is somewhere and I need to retrieve it. I met Liam at the door and sigh, must I be overly protected, I’m now more better at fighting and using equipment. I wonder if this could ever end. The soft and natural life I’ve planned for my kids since I was pregnant. Will I really be able to fulfill it without any hin
I stretched out the stood beside her before sitting down, “I know you’ll wanna ask me who Antorio is so I’ll explain without you asking.” I said, she sat down properly facing me now. “So 27 years ago, just a week before the killing of the Blackshadow clan, I overheard dad talking to a man called Antorio.”(FLASHBACK)I tiptoed trying not to get caught as I tried running away from the clan to meet Seth in the garden. I tripped on a glass and winced in pain but quickly hide behind the flower just not far from where I injured myself. “Antorio, and I’m saying it again and won’t repeat it any longer, you can’t marry her, she’s from one of our most deadliest enemy and his daughter to worsen the matter. ”You can’t marry her, that’s my final day in this clan.” Dad said , I took a peep look outside to see his face, he was quite a handsome guy, I recognize him to be my brother’s best friend. My brother was 18 during this time but I could remember hearing from some of the members saying he st
He looked at me as though he wanted to question me but changed his mind and started the car again. The ride back home was quiet and bored but no one was ready to talk, he stopped the car when we got there and I came down just in time with my babies who were coming down from their father’s car “Momma” Keaton shouts coming to hug me excited, I smile gently bending down to hold her, I drag her cheek softly before saying, “Don’t be such a mummy’s girl pretty.” She gave me a cheeky smile before moaning, “Ouch, that hurts.” She fake out a cry and ran to Seth sniffing in her fake nose, Seth faced me, he’s at the verge of bursting into laughter, “Okay can you not be so harsh to her now.” He said. I could tell he was frustrated, work of the two devils, they are a handful and to control them will be so hard. “As if.” I scoffed before moving close to them, I gave Kris a peck in his cheek, “You deserve this for being a good boy.” He gave me a playful disgusting face, “I told you to s
Going further as the car sped up towards Veronica’s house, I intended to scare her and see her facial expression, I don’t care if it doesn’t yield out what I want but this will be over. I’m planning to end everything once and for all, my children must not pass through the same thing I passed through because of her. I’ve targeted everything I needed to make her weak so I just need to get to her first. The car came to a halt as we got there, I stepped out, and the mansion haven’t changed a bit, it was still the same as I left it that gruesome night. At least she knows how to take care of things well, not bad. I walked in asking Lexi to stop at the gate, the security looked at me, seeing me, you wouldn’t have doubts knowing I look like my mom a lot. He stared at me for a while before asking me the question I’ve been expecting him to ask, “Who are you?.” I smile warmly at him giving him my sexiest look and voice.“Your worst nightmare.” I knocked him down before he could say anythin
I stirred in my sleep slowly opening my eyes, the sun reflecting from the window side shine on my face which made me feel warm.I smile remembering what happened in the morning, it’ll probably be afternoon by now, I tried turning, “No don’t, can we stay this way for a while.” I heard his voice, I felt his hand tighten the more on my body.Our naked body rubbing against each other, I smile and removed his hand turning to face him, “Don’t you think MR D down there is getting hard.” I whispered feeling his huge MR D rocking against my laps.I took down my hands under the duvet, taking it back to his dick rubbing it slowly, “Stop that will you, we just had sex some hours ago.” He said trying to restrict.“Hours you called it, we’ve both starved ourselves for seven years Seth, I think we deserve the whole day.” I whispered stroking it more harder, “Isabella...” He moaned out.After I was sure it was so hard, I stood up to ride on him pushing in his full length at once, I stopped to take i
«A WEEK LATER» Seth has been avoiding me for like a week, he’s mostly going for mission or took Kris and Keaton on a normal date. I’ve been trying to start a conversation with him but he always shut me up. I’m heading to his room since he’s inside now, I got in front and the guards in front bow to me, “Is he inside?.” I asked, they nod before opening the door for me.Getting inside, I could smell smoke from his bedroom so I just walked in straight, he was standing in front of the window, his back facing the room.“What are doing you doing here?.” Seeing how he recognized me without me saying anything meant he still so much love me, he might be angry but I know his main weakness.I ran to him and hugged him from behind, “I’m sorry. I’m sorry for everything, your silence is killing me slowly, how many times do I have to apologize before you’ll forgive me, you know how much sorry I am huh, huh?.” I smile inwardly seeing how his body was smitten by mine.He tried removing my hands
(At the clan) We are all surrounded around the bed, each and everyone in their own sitting position, the twins are standing in one place staring just like we all are. Each and everyone confuse at what was happening at the moment, if thinking about how we narrowly escaped before the police got to us. «FLASHBACK » Isabella staggered back in shock, “Isabella.” Arabella called still surprised or maybe shocked. I could only stare at the scene in front of me not knowing what to say. My eyes went to the two kids I saw earlier before she came down, I couldn’t help but notice an unusual resemblance between the two . “Boss we don’t have much time.” Daisy said after regaining herself still staring at Isabella, just when she was about to run away, I grabbed her wrist and hit her with my back gun. “I’m sorry.” I murmur before carrying her. I faced the other members and they now, I was at the brink of crying but I don’t know what exactly to do at the moment, “You’ll need to l
I stood up to go after her when the door opened, Kris and Keaton came in looking exhausted, I stare at them, they both look alike except for some differences.Keaton look more like Isabella and Kris took this feature I don’t know, he resemble his father I guess.“Aunt Carol” Keaton called coming to me together with her brother, they both hugged me and sat on the couch, she looked around like she was looking for someone Isabel came in holding two cups with a nylon of cereal and a bottle of water, “Mom” They both run to her and hugged her“My babies” She touches their cheek fondly, I stood up and walked to the room, I could hear the kids asking what was wrong with me but she told them nothing.After a while, she came in cleaning her hand, “I put them to sleep” She said after some minutes of silence, I behaved like I was asleep and didn’t say anything“I know you aren’t asleep, I’m sorry for the way I acted earlier” She added, I stood up after hearing her apology “For what exactly, you
I stood that way for like forever before recovering myself, I gasped after realizing what just happened, standing up, I dust my clothe before clearing my throat. “I’m sorry, that was a mistake” I stuttered, he sat in the floor staring at me not saying anything, that made me feel uncomfortable. Before he opened his mouth to speak, I was expecting a harsh word so I closed my eye. “Do you love me?” He asked, I look up to his question in surprise, that was the least thing I thought he could ever ask me. “The way you are avoiding me and behaving since the incident at gold house, you’ve not been so lively with me like usual. ”So what if I do, does that make me a sinner “ I said looking up to him, Malone it is for the better, forget the past but not one which held the most beautiful memories. ”Then stop loving me“ I looked at him as he said those words, I wasn’t expecting that from him, he shrugged when he noticed I was looking at him. ”I won’t be able to reciprocate that feelings, I d
