Isabella's POVWhat just happened now?I think Nate is hellbent on making me fall for him.He keeps doing things to me that make me want to lose my cool.He asked me the same question he asked earlier today in front of his room.He asked me if I didn't want him.If I'm not attracted to him in any way?He then held me by my hand and pulled me closer to him.My body seems to always betray me because it always reacts anytime he touches me.I answered him quickly, I told him I didn't want to have anything to do with him, I told him I have had my fair share of hurt and I don't want it to happen again.His grip on my hand loosened as I told him I didn't want to be with him even though my body said differently, I could tell he was disappointed at my reply.He let me go and I stepped back.He told me he wasn't going to ask me this anymore.I was supposed to be happy at his words because this was what I wanted but I was disappointed.It felt like I wasn't loved enough.I shook off this feeling
Isabella's POVMy reaction made them suspect me but I just played a fast one on them.Well, it was Damien who came in he said he was asked to get some things.He ran upstairs and for about 5 minutes he was there, he came back down with some papers in his hand and a mini bag.He bid us goodbye and he left.It was after he had gone that Lisa and Christabel looked at me and asked if I was okay.I told them I was good, that it was nothing.Christabel then asked, why were you so jumpy when we said I think Nate is here.It's not like I was jumpy because he was he, the reason I jumped was that I didn't want him to meet me like just standing, I just try not to be on his bad book and I don't know what can get him angry so I try to stay away from him as much as I can.Lisa, being a very sensitive person, looked at me so intently.She studied my face, and I made sure I made a very convincing face, it was only then she accepted my explanation.I gave an inner sigh of relief as she felt convinced
Isabella’s POVAs they both made their way to the dining area, curiosity got the best of me.I was begging them to hurry up so that they could serve their food and have a taste of it.They did just that, they took a sit at the table and dished out some portion of food for themselves.Lisa took the first spoon, I was so proud of myself because her face says it all. Everything I needed to know was displayed on her face and she couldn't hide it.Her face showed disbelief as to how my food tasted good and surprised as to how I knew how to cook.Lisa's display of satisfaction with the food encouraged Christabel to also have a taste of the food and it was so clear and certain that she wasn't disappointed at all.They both served themselves more portions of food.As they were eating, it was so thrilling to watch and this confidence and pride sprawled all over my face.You could tell that they were satisfied topping up their food with the fresh chilled juice I made.After eating, they both ha
Isabella's POVIt has been a very lovely day I thought as we all headed downstairs after leaving Anna's room.I went to the kitchen to clean up the plates we had just used to eat, and then Lisa and Christabel packed the food they made earlier so that could go and share it.They left while I cleaned up the kitchen.As I finished I went to my bedroom, it was already nighttime and I could see the weather dropping.My mind shifted to Nate, I wondered what he was up to.It was already night time and he might be home soon.I wanted him to eat the food I made, the thought of him eating my food and enjoying it made me giddy.Nate's POVI had thought to myself not to return home for a couple of days.I told Damien to go home and help me get some of my things and the files I left in my study.I'm trying to train myself from having to think about Isabella all the time and also for me not to always smile or be happy anytime I see her.I decided that not seeing her for a few days would be the tric
Mike's POV My meeting with Nate was not as bad as I thought it would be.I didn't know him before now but seeing how he was able to get my contact for him to reach out to me. It simply means he is a very dangerous man and he can get anything he wants.Thinking about it now, that's not so far-fetched from what a mafia can do.Nothing goes hidden in their watch except for something they lack interest in.I need to get informants like his for myself.Oh… I remember now .. talking to the informant, the person I told to help me find Isabella's whereabouts has still not gotten any information on her yet.Why is he so slow, I murmured as I picked up my phone to put a call through to him.His phone rang and he picked up after two rings. I then asked him what the problem was.Why hasn't he gotten across to me yet on the search I told him about?He just stammered as he had nothing to say to me.He had no information to give to me about the whereabouts of Isabella. I was begging to get pissed of
Isabella's POVI stood there, in front of Nate's door, waiting for him to open it. And after a few seconds, he didn't come out. And I wondered what was going on. I knocked on his door again, and I waited. Since nobody came out, I went back downstairs. And I went to search for Lisa. When I got to Lisa, I asked her if Nate was around. But she said he didn't come home last night. When she said that, I made my face. I didn't know what to make out of that. Why wasn't he home? Why didn't he come home? Was it because of what happened yesterday morning? Did I do something? Different questions and different thoughts kept running through my mind, Kept going on in my head, and it was bothering me so much that I didn't know what to do or how to even go about it.At this point, I don't think I can wrap my hands around what I was feeling. One minute, I don't want to have anything to do with Nate. I don't want him to talk to me. I don't want to stay in his presence. I don't want him to kee
Nate's POVNot long until my walk for the day. I got a call from Mike, asking if I was available, so he could come with the documents needed for me and him to partner up in business.I told him I was available and I set up a time for noon which he said he was cool with.After we ended the call, I put a call through to my secretary to tell her about my meeting with Mike by noon that day.As I told her about the meeting, she also said she was about to come to my office because she just got a call from my lawyer. She said he called to ask what time I'll be free, so he could come see him today.After she told me this, I told her not to worry, and that I'll put a call through to the lawyer myself. I hung up the call and called my lawyer. After a few minutes, he answered, and we spoke about our meeting. I scheduled a meeting with my lawyer for 2 pm, because that would give me enough time to attend to Mike when he arrives by noon for our meeting and we would have concluded on what we want
Nate's POV In the heat of things, I asked Dan, my man who was tied up, if he could estimate how long this happened.Before he could speak up, Damien answered that it hadn't been long since he and Andrew left here and he was pretty sure that he couldn't have gone too far yet.As soon as he said this, I rushed out of the basement calling out my men.I told them to round the house and also charge into the bush.We need to get him down and I must kill him when I see him.He wouldn't have the luxury of wanting to sign any binding documents with me because I would deal with him so much he'd beg for death.My men, all of them went in to equip themselves as they knew for a fact that this was war and I wouldn't let this go.They started to round up the whole house, searching intensely and some already charged into the bush to go for their search.Damien and Andrew came to me and they said what if Levi was helped by someone in the house.I looked at them and I was surprised that they had the s
Isabella's POVNate stopped me. He then put his hands on my shoulders while making me sit on the bed.You have done enough, now it's my turn, he whispered.He then moved his hands to my back and unclasped my bra in one move.He looked at me sexily before he gently pushed me back to the bed.He made sure to take off all of my clothes first.The only thing I had in me was the ring he had asked me to marry him with.He told me to put it on while he then had his way with me.I much I have missed being with him.I was in love with this man, madly in love with him.We stayed glued to each other the whole night.Days passed, weeks went by, and it was about two months after now the plans for our weddingwere going on.I was with Thelma, and we went for my dress, finally fitting.My wedding with Nate was in a week, and I was the happiest woman on earth.It was my dream come through.I began to think about everything that had happened and how I have gotten here.My wedding was in less than a wee
Isabella's POV As we were talking, he mentioned relocation.It was a good thing that schools were on holiday during this period.It was a good time to change the children's school. We would have enough time to get a good school for them.We discussed the movement and everything we needed to put in place.Sleep took over before we knew it.It's already been three days since I got back together with Nate, and it has been filled with joy, peace and laughter.I was grateful that things were beginning to look good for me.Nate had travelled back to his place yesterday.He went to go and get the children's room ready and he also needed to make preparations for their school transfer.I'm glad that I was done with my exams, so I had time to do other things than stick to reading books.Thelma had been a sure support, and she was actively involved in our parking arrangements.She also confessed to me how Nate was able to locate me and I was grateful at how far she went for me to be happy.We h
Isabella's POVAfter a week, Thelma and her mother travelled back. Thelma had told me that she would be back after two days she just needed to go do some things.She was on her leave from work, and she decided to spend it with me and the kids.The two days she was away were boring.I was really happy the day she came back.She was acting weird, though, but I didn't think much about it.At first, she told us to go grocery shopping, but she chose the park's supermarket that was close to us.Thelma has always preferred going to get things at a farther distance.I just thought it was for a change.This evening, she told us to go for a walk.I thought we would go with the kids, but she insisted that they stay home with the nanny while we had some girl's time out.I thought that it would be a fun thing so I accepted.We have been strolling for the past couple of hours, Thelma. Can we go back home now?She said she wasn't ready to go home,e but we could go rest in the supermarket lounge are
Nate's POVMy eyes sprang open immediately when I heard her name.I sat up and all the sleep I had in my eye wiped off after hearing her name.Isabella? What about Isabella?Tell me everything.Yes, boss, he answered, and then he started to speak.Boss, I got a call from Isabella's friend, Thelma, last night. She asked if I was still working with you.I told her, “Yes”. She then sent me to you.She told me that Isabella was doing fine, but she was not leaving well.She talked about her friend confessing that she still lives with you and she misses you dearly.She said she had spoken to her friend to reach out to you but she had refused.She said she needed your help with something and this would help her make a way for you and Isabella to meet.I had also told her how miserable you are still. Isabella disappeared.She wants to meet up with you first before she helps you reach Isabella.Okay, where does she want to meet?She said she was fine with any place of your choosing.Alright t
Nate's POVIt's been over four years of loneliness.I had not been able to reach Isabella.Even Dan tried a couple of times but it was to no avail.It was like she disappeared from the earth's surface.I had reached out to Thelma several times. But she had been very mad at me.She never gave me a chance. She had even threatened to call me out as a stalker.I had to back off from seeing her.My life was more miserable than I had thought.Everything seems to be a blur to me by the day.I was deeply heartbroken.All of my achievements were in vain.Everything that I had gained that caused me to lose Isabella was all a waste.None of them made me happy.I was glad that Mike had been arrested for his crimes but I wanted to see Isabella.My heart calls out her name day and night.In the last four years, I had fought my brother with the help of my friends, and I had successfully caught him and exposed all of his hidden crimes.My father was also in support and he was arrested by the police.
Isabella's POVCome on girl, you can't be like that. You can't do that to me.We both are in different situations; how can you even do me like that?I'm still in my healing process. Are you not even happy that I was able to acknowledge the fact that I missed him?Give me a break, okay?You should reach out to Andrew without holding back especially not for my sake.I would love for you to have your life filled with laughter.Man's laughter, I said teasingly.You don't have to put your love life on hold because of me.Have fun and break a leg.It would make me so happy. Your happiness is my happiness, too, so don't take that away from us.I made sure to give Thelma lots of pep talk.Yes, Mom, I have heard you, she answered me sarcastically.After gisting for a few more minutes we both went to bend.Rise and shine, mommy; I heard the children scream at the top of their voices while jumping on the bed to wake me up.I heard their voice from dreamland and it brought a smile to my face.I
Isabella's POV She was equally happy to see them. She hurriedly dropped the plate in her hand on the dining table while she reached out to give them a big hug.They were such small figures in Grandma's hands.She carried them together, both in her hands and they were happy.I went close to them after the nanny had collected their bags from me.Natalie was the first to accuse me.She said, Mommy mommy, see. Grandma can carry us together but you can't not.Nathan also supported his sister.You would have at least thought that he would defend me but instead, he said.Grandma is strong and has a lot of power, while Mommy is lazy, so she doesn't have any power.Everyone in the room started laughing at the funny words that came out of Nathan's mouth.Thelma also added, guys I think mommy is lazy because she is always working all the time.How about we give Mommy some free time today while she rests so she can get all her power back?Yes, Aunty, they both answered.Alright guys, while momm
Isabella's POV Thelma's mother was very funny.She also had our best interest at heart too but sometimes it was too much for us to handle.You know you're my only daughter and I'm glad that you have blessed me with two children.But I don't want you to tie yourself down.You are still very young, and you're well-to-do.You should meet people. I'm so that that there are still some lovely men out there who would like you I don't want you to be like this Thelma, she slapped her hand while she called her name.She has chosen to stay away from men.She probably wants to be a nun.Even though you have been hurt before I don't want that to be the determinant of your life.You can't stop yourself from living life because of someone who is probably enjoying the best of their life now.Imagine putting your life on hold for someone who doesn't even remember or think about you.That would be a very foolish thing to do.You guys are still very young.I am not pushing out there to choose wrongly,
Isabella's POV.It's been over four years since I came back to my grandma's town.I had gotten maximum support from Thelma, as she promised me.She was with me all through the pregnancy stage to the birth of my children.I had twins. A boy and a girl.The boy's name is Nathan while I named the girl Natalie.Thelma had teased me so much when I picked the names.She said that I was still madly in love with Nate that was why I incorporated his name into my children's name.I denied it though. I told her that it was because Nate was their father, even though I didn't want to have anything to do with him.When the kids are grown, and they start asking for their father, I might reach out to him then so he could meet his children.The last few years have been filled with a series of episodes. Ups and downs.But now, my children will be five years in less than five months.Even though I denied still loving Nate, I knew I was still in love with him despite all that had happened.I was just too
