Isabella's POVWhen I asked if I could see Nate, I saw him get all defensive like he was trying to hide something.I did not say anything and I just watched him stand there.The wait was becoming awkward so I told him to not worry and that he should forget about what I said.Still, he did not move nor did he say anything.After a while, he said that I should freshen up and rest up a bit and when I'm done if I still want to see Nate this night I should come downstairs and look for him.Or I should wait till tomorrow and he'll take me to go and meet Nate.I suddenly felt some type of way so I opted for the second option.I needed to get my composure and balance right.It's okay, I'll just rest up today so I can just meet him tomorrow, I said to him.That's fine then he said and he left.As soon as he stepped out of the door and closed it behind him I went to the door and locked it.I won't take any chances.I went to the bed and laid on it.It felt very relaxing and I could say it almost
Isabella's POV There was a deafening silence between us, as the only thing we did was eat.The sounds that could be heard were just the sound of the spoon engaging with the plate and nothing more.I didn't like the silence and it was a bit awkward.I could also see that he was stealing glances from me.Then I took it upon myself and decided to break the silence.I opened my mouth to talk to him and I'm sure he knew I was about to speak to him because I changed my position to face him properly.He then had a curious look on his face as he was expecting me to talk.Ehnm… Andrew, can I ask you a question?Can I stop you from asking, he said and we both smiled at his response.Well, true talk, you actually can't stop me from asking, I said and carried on with my question.From what I have seen and since I've been living in Nate's house, I have seen Andrew a couple of times and he seemed like a nice guy, unlike Damien.He talks and relates with people around him and he smiles more compare
Isabella's POV I let the sleep take over as I drifted off to wonderland. By the time I woke up, it was well into the morning.I slept so sweetly and soundly.I got up from the bed and I went to have my bath.After bathing, I dressed up and came out of the room.I headed downstairs to go and check for Andrew and Damien.Surprisingly, as I got downstairs, I met with both of them in the living room.I greeted them and they answered me.Damien looked at me and asked if there was something I needed.I told him I didn't need anything. I only wanted to start my work early because I wasn't sure how the day was going to be.I also said to them that they should put me through everything I'll be doing around the house.Andrew answered me this time, he said that was fine.He then took my hand to the kitchen with Damien coming behind us.He showed me where the cleaning tools were kept and then he took me back to the main house.All the while he was holding my hands, he showed me around the house
Isabella's POV I put a call through to Thelma.She answered her call almost immediately like she was expecting my call.I told her I had been permitted to let her come with me so she should send her address.She was glad.Before I ended the call, she asked me what time we were coming to get her.I wasn't sure of the time either, so I told her I'd call her when we were about to leave the house.Alright, that's fine with me she said.Well then, see you soon, I replied before I ended the call.I was so happy I'd be going to the market with Thelma.I ran back downstairs to continue my work.I was still cleaning the living room when I went upstairs to call Thelma.I went straight into the cleaning and since I was eager to meet up with Thelma later I finished up my work on time.I was just cleaning one of the rooms downstairs when Andrew came into the house.He asked me if I was ready and I replied that I was.I only needed to go drop my cleaning tools back in the kitchen.I did that and I
Isabella's POVAndrew drove out of the market parking lot and he headed home.He had told me earlier that Isabella could come with us so we all left for the house.I was still so scared about what happened earlier at the marketplace.It frightened me so much.I didn't know what Andrew had done to him but I hope he is not trailing us right now.I didn't know what came over me in the first place because I should know better not to go out in disguise.The day I met Thelma I had been all covered from head to toe but she recognised me so I should have known better to camouflage myself more when going out to a public place.Huh…stupid me, I scolded myself.The journey back home was long so it gave me enough time to get back my balance.Thelma still held me in her arms giving me all the comfort I could get from her.It was comforting indeed.By the time we got home, I was all better and relieved.We brought down everything we had gotten from the market and took them to the.There were a lot
Isabella's POVAfter the cleaning, we ate our food and I took Thelma to my room.Thelma was pleased that I was living in a much better and comfortable place.She had known how I was been treated when I was with Mike and it wasn't pleasant at all.Thelma asked me how I got to this place as she couldn't wait to know what happened between me and Mike.I began to tell her everything that had been going on when I was still with Mike and how low of a person he treated me.On hearing all this Thelma felt pity on me.I continued my story and I told her how I got to meet these people.I had been forced by Mike one day to go look for a job before he returned from his travelling.In the process of doing that, walking and searching for a job all day and to no avail.I was frustrated and scared.I didn't know what I was going to do and what would happen to me if Mike returned and I didn't get a job.After I had lost all hope and was heading back home, I encountered some set of frightening people a
Isabella's POV The discussion between I and Thelma ran for a long time and after I told her we should go check what was going on in the house.***We met with Andrew when we got outside the house.That was when I noticed I had not seen Damien since we came back from the market.Hey Andrew, I greeted him.He answered, and then I asked him where Damien was.He said he went out and he has not returned yet.I looked around and I saw that they were all outside, so I asked him what they were up to.Nothing much, he answered me.He just offered me and Thelma a place to sit.His eyes were on Thelma the whole time and I'm sure a blind person could have seen that.I then remembered what Thelma had passed through because of the relationship and what she said about not wanting to be in love, romantic relationship again.I knew if Andrew liked her, he would need to put in so much effort to woo her.Though I don't know Andrew personally, I felt he was a good guy and he is also capable of caring an
Isabella's POVI approached Nate's bedside.It was now I understood why Andrew and Damien have been secretive about everything that concerns Nate.I stayed at his side watching him closely.I was so sad to see him in this state.I asked Damien how Nate was doing.Is he responding to treatment?What did the doctor say about his health and how long will he take to come back to life healthy?Honestly, the doctor hasn't said anything.The only thing he said to us was that the surgery was successful and hopefully, Nate will come back out of coma soon.There wasn't a particular answer and there was nothing anyone could do.The only thing to do is to be very hopeful about Nate's health.My heart sank as there was nothing we could do To help Nate out of this state and tears rolled down my eyes.You see this is where Nate is and I'll tell the guard to always allow you to go in when you want to go see Nate.Let's leave for now, he said.I refused to answer him or go with him.The next thing he
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
