Isabella's POVHe came to my front and he pulled me up.I removed the towel from my body while he wore his shirt on me.He sat me back down and then put on the boxer shorts for me.He was really taking good care of me.I got up so he could put the pants on for me properly.We were done and we had to head back to the room, I felt torn and completely exhausted.As I moved my legs, they became wobbly.I felt an ache in my middle.Are you okay? He said as he rushed to hold me straight.I am but I can't really feel my legs and I feel an aching sensation between me.You are not stable, you can't work well then.He carried me up in his arms in bridal style and we left the closet for the room.He carefully dropped me on the bed for me to sit, before stepping back a bit.Why are your legs shaking? he asked with a wicked smirk on his face.What do you even mean? I said as I shot him a wicked glare. Was it not you who did this to me?This is all your fault. You know that right? He fired back at
Isabella's POV I wanted to still be in his arms for as long as I could.It hurts me to see him travel today.Why is it morning already? I muttered.I can't believe that work will take him far from me soon and I don't even know when he will return.I shrugged as I surrendered to the defeat of not being able to stop him from attending to his work.He needs to work and that he was going to do. It would be bad of me if I took someone away from their other duties because I just want them to be with me.That's a totally selfish act and I wouldn't like that.I remained settled in his arms that were wrapped around me. His body warmth almost pulled me back to another sleep.It was already morning and I didn't want to sleep any more, I waited to enjoy his body warmth a little bit more before I tried to snuggle my way out of his embrace.I lifted his arms up, gently, while I gradually moved myself out of his embrace.I came to his side of the room and planted a kiss on his forehead before leavi
Isabella's POVWe got right into cooking. The whole house was still asleep even though I and Lisa had almost finished cooking.By the time the food was ready, I asked Lisa if she knew what was the reason behind everyone sleeping in this morning.She said she also had no idea.She told me we should both go to everyone's room to check on them.That's fine, replied.We both went out of the kitchen. We headed for Anna's room first. We knocked on her door only to hear her tiny sleepy voice telling us to come.We greeted her, then asked her if she was good.She was still in bed and she had to stretch out and give a loud yawn before she answered us.What time is it? She asked with a confused look.It is way past 9 am and you are still in bed, Lisa said to her.Her eyes widened as she heard what the time was.I slept late last night, I'm so sorry, she said.Don't be, we only came to check if you're good. We will be leaving now to check on Christabel also.Oh! Do you mean she's not out too?Ye
Nate's POVI had breakfast and waited a little while to see Isabella but it was taking too long so I went back to the study roomI called Damien to my study room and I told him to have the boys ready.I told him that I would be travelling later that evening and he should have the car ready.He also needs to pack up some of my things because I don't know how long I would need to be away.He left and I got back to work.I had received a series of work emails from Jane.She told me that I had missed two site inspections I was supposed to check the previous day.I had completely forgotten about it.I told her to reschedule the meetings if it will be possible for this afternoon before I leave.She gave me a response minutes later.The site inspection had been rescheduled and the date was for today.She was going to join me so to the inspection site.Also, I needed to pass some documents that I had worked on to her so she could disperse them to our clients.I kept on working on some work em
Nate's POV I had been stuck with work all day and I did leave the study room.I kept replying to messages and sending back messages.Jane sent me a reminder in about two hours to remind me of the first site visit.I then called Damien to get ready because we would be leaving the house in about one hour.I wanted to see Isabella a bit for the next one before I left.I was also famished and I needed food.I called Isabella and I asked her to get me something to eat as I was hungry.She came back in no time.She was carrying a plate of potatoes and peppered chicken.I asked her where she got it from and I was expecting her to come with some snacks instead.She said she had prepared it for me and just happened to call her right on time when she was about to come and serve me the food.I was happy and I asked her to join me.She joined me and we ate together.After eating she wanted to leave but I told her I had less than forty-five minutes to spend with her so she shouldn't leave yet.Su
Nate's POVWe arrived at the first site for inspection in good time even though I had told Damien to pass by the office so we could pick Jane up.The client was yet to arrive at the venue but Jane had called them earlier to find out where they were. She told me that they were close.I got out of the car and checked the supplies and the layout that had been done so far.This project was a new one and the client was a first-time client.This was our very first work with the client and he seemed like a great person.Today was just for a survey and supplies check for the project work.Nothing much to be done on-site here.Work hasn't really started in full force but after today's survey and further plans, everything to be done on the work will kick off at full speed.The clients arrived and did a bit of a run down for him, concerning everything that was to take place on the site.After we finished, he left and then I headed back to where the car was parked with Jane and we headed for the
Isabella's POV Thelma came towards me after seeing how dejected I looked.He is gone, right? She asked and I answered her grumpily.oh! I see. Is that why you look so down? Come on girl, don't be such a baby about it. I am very sure you would not want him to miss work. He needs to go to work.He had already promised to also keep in touch with you, she said reassuringly as she patted my back. She made me feel a little better.I then sit up on the bed to look at Thelma.She had not had enough rest since I woke her up this morning.She had only slept for just an hour. She looked exhausted and worn out.Trying to get out of my feelings, I shook off my thoughts of Nate away and I concentrated on Thelma instantly.Oh! Thelma, you look very dull, and your eyes are also heavy. Are you okay?Of course not, I feel so sleepy now. I had not had enough rest and it's making me act like a grumpy old lady when I'm not.I think you should get some sleep then, we will continue with work later. I can
Isabella's POVIt was the living room upstairs and Lisa had already set a corner with a big table and two chairs.There was a white marker board at and side with a few coloured markers and a duster.I walked up to Lisa and I nudged her by her side with my elbow.Lisa, when did you do all of this?I can't believe that you have prepared all this and I didn't know when.She smiled at me and said take it as our own little surprise to you.I was the only one who did it, Anna and Christabel are in on it too.Oh my! I exclaimed as I hugged her.I'm grateful to you guys.I will come to thank you properly when I'm done with my class.Lisa asked the tutor if there was anything she would be needing but she said she was good at the moment.Lisa told her to call her if there was something she needed and she said the same thing to me too before leaving.Thelma also came to my side and cheered me on before she left with Lisa.I had never stayed in the living room upstairs before, this was my first t
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
