Isabella's POVI was much more relieved now. So, I told the ladies I was fine, and they could go on with every other thing that they wanted to do. They were pleased to hear me say this, they had smiles on their faces.Anna asked me again though, she said, are you sure you're good now my darling?Then I replied ‘yes’.They felt more comfortable now and relieved.They were about to leave when I remembered that Lisa had promised that by the time I was done with my food and medication, she would put a call through to Damien or Andrew. So, I called their attention back. I called Lisa and I said to her, Lisa, aren't you going to call Damien or Andrew again? You said, when I'm done with my food, you call them.Did you change your mind?Oh dear, thank you, my love… I forgot about that completely. My mind has just been on you, for you to get better, she said.We all just smirked at her reaction.Lisa brought out her phone from her pocket while Anna and Christabel rushed back inside to sit
Isabella's POVI slept so soundly that I didn't even know when the ladies came back to check on me and went back.It's been a long time since I had such a nice sleep.I have always had trouble sleeping because of how I've been treated when I was living with Mike.Most times I sleep cautiously so that I can know when I'm to jump up when he is coming or if he calls me I can hear him.He will deal with me so badly if he looks for me and he doesn't see me.Mike was a devil and he knew it.He pretended when we first met and I fell for all of his tricks and he got me good.I can't believe that someone can be so mean and heartless.He is filled with so much bad blood.Mike broke me down completely and it hunts me in my sleep, anytime I sleep I have bad dreams about Mike.This doesn't make me sleep well, Mike gave me fear that I need to watch my back when going out for me to be sure I'm not been followed. A person like Mike doesn't deserve any good thing in life especially as he has taken aw
Isabella's POVSmiles were displayed on our faces after Lisa dropped the call.We were happy that Andrew called and he said he was going to come tomorrow.Lisa sat down, then she asked what kind of meal should we prep for them tomorrow.Everybody was eager and we all started making suggestions.For me, it was like I became even better, a lot better than how I was feeling.My body felt energised all of a sudden.After a long time and so much back and forth on what we wanted to prepare for the guys.Christabel asked if Andrew was coming in the morning.Lisa answered and said since we don't know when he'll.We just do a little bit of prepping this night so by tomorrow morning we can have time to just cook alone since we ain't even sure about the time he was going to come.I can't believe this, every hand was on deck, it was so good to see us all cooperating to make food for all of them.As we were in the kitchen doing all the prepping, silence looms around the whole place as no one was t
Isabella's POVAs we all up, work continued and moved fast, Lisa and Christabel were in the kitchen and I and Anna were cleaning up the whole house.Lisa came out of the kitchen and said if we finish everything we were doing we should both come to the kitchen to assist them also.What we had left to do wasn't much anymore so we finished up in no time.By the time we were done with cleaning, we went to the kitchen and joined Lisa and Christabel there.They already started cooking.As we entered, Lisa was happy.She said since they were already making food for the guys we should make food for the orphans then.Everyone had one thing or the other to do, work was going smoothly and I liked every bit of it.In about two hours or thereabouts in the kitchen, our cooking came to an end.We were all exhausted.Since Andrew or Damien hasn't called yet, Lisa said we have time to just pack the food and go and share the food with the orphan.That was fine in no time and I went with Anna.Before we
Isabella's POV The joy I had in me was so much that if there were horses in me they wouldn't trip and fall.I could not even contain my joy. I was completely elated.The thought of meeting with Thelma and also rekindling our friendship was amazing to me.Throughout our stay at the orphanage, as we were sharing the food, I was just smiling to my face.Everyone around there could see the joy I was feeling displayed on my face.Anna came close to me and she said when we got back home, I should tell her all about Thelma and the reason I was so happy I'd met her today.I was just as eager to also give her the details about our friendship.When we were done with the sharing we packed up everything there to the car.After everything was all set and packed, we left the place.I was still happy and I couldn't wait to invite Thelma home when I got permission from the ladies and Nate.Oh Nate…for over a few hours, I'd not thought about Nate.I was so happy and completely lost in the joy of meet
Isabella's POVAfter I had broken all my ties with Thelma I thought maybe Mike would beat me.It was all a lie.Mike did not stop hurting me.He hit me at the slightest of mistakes, he called me names. He abused me both physically, emotionally and psychologically.He created a deep fear in me then.I realised that he wouldn't stop hurting me and I began to regret my decision of cutting all my ties with Thelma.There was nothing I could do then, I was completely hopeless and helpless.I had believed in myself that it was Mike who would kill me.I lived with Mike with regrets.I wished I didn't become his girlfriend, I wished I'd listened to Thelma when she started noticing these things and she told me to leave him alone.I wished I hadn't answered Mike when he told me to cut ties with Thelma because Thelma was my source of hope and I lost her because of Mike.I couldn't get to reach her all this while and I knew I'd just her deeply too when I told her we should go our separate ways.Th
Isabella's POVAs soon as Lisa got a call from Andrew that he was coming, I was so happy about it.I thought in my head and I knew I had to do something that would make me go with Andrew when he came.I looked at Lisa and asked her if she'd thought about it.She asked me what it was.I reminded her of what I had told her before.You know I said that wouldn't it be good to have someone follow Andrew when he is going back?She said, Oh! That's true, you suggested that one of us should be there.Well, I've thought about it and I think Nate wouldn't like it if he knew that we the grown-up left the house here.I was wondering if you'd like to go.I know that you can clean and cook.You'll be able to handle all the basic things that they might need over there.But there's also this thought in my head again as I fear that the place wouldn't be a proper place to send a girl like you.It is a dangerous place for one, then it's also filled with guys and you know, that was the place Nate was att
Isabella's POVI finished up with what I was doing and I headed downstairs.When I came downstairs there was nobody there and my heart skipped, the first thing that came to y mind was that they had gone and left me behind.I felt so sad in that instant.I went to the kitchen, and I found Anna, Lisa and Christabel there.They were still packing up the food when I saw them and a wave of relief washed down from my head to my feet.Since they were still packing up, I was rest assured that Damien and Andrew were still around.As Lisa saw me she asked if I was done which I told her I was.She then passed me the phone we talked about earlier in her room…I have even forgotten about it already.I took the phone from her and turned it on.She said the phone was working well it just needed to be charged.Now that's another issue, I don't even have a charger, how am I supposed to be charging this phone?I think she read my mind because she gave me an answer to my question immediately.She told me
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
