Nate's POV I have been tossing and turning for a while now, I couldn't even get myself to sleep.I stared at my ceiling for a while without doing anything, I wondered why the house was awfully silent like there was no one inside.Out of frustration, I decided to give Damien a call.I told him to come over to my room. He came not long after and I heard a knock on my door which I told him to enter.I asked him if the house was in order because the house was so silent like no one lived in here. He then answered me “ everyone saying that everyone was around but they may probably be sleeping since they are usually in their rooms if they didn't have any movie or something to keep them all busy together.Oh! Is that so? And he shook his head in confirmation.“Alright then, I had left some files in the car and I wanted you to get it for me. I'll be in the study so when you get it just bring it for me there.” He left after I finished talking. I also got up from the bed and got dressed before
Isabella's POVNate was here, close to me. I can't seem to gather my thoughts and think straight.He was so close to me that all my body parts could feel every inch of him and react to his presence, my body was too aware of his close presence. Oh! I exclaimed inwardly. He is at it again. He snaked his hands to move to my waist like he usually does, sending chills down my spine, and then he pulled me even closer to himself by my waist, closing every inch of distance between us.I felt my body betray me so badly as it shivered at his touch in reaction to his hand movement on my waist. I was so weak that I couldn't even protest, my mouth couldn't form words, my head could not think properly, my mind was all over the place and I was weak in the knees. His hands were what was holding me in place from not falling to the floor.His face was hovering close to mine, barely inches away I could smell his cologne. He smells like sharp musk mixed with spice and with a weird infusion of leather or
Isabella's POV His question got nothing on me as I had made up my mind, so without any thoughts or hesitation, I gave a subtle nod affirming positively to his question.He brought back his head down, his face was close to mine and he whispered “Don't say I didn't ask you girl because now, I won't be able to stop”. His words sent chills down my whole body as I shuddered under his ministrations to me. I could feel the flutters of butterflies in my stomach and the thrill of excitement that overpowered any form of second thoughts that I may be having.No thinking today, no thinking for now, let's just feel and enjoy the moments.After he whispered to me, he gave me a broad smile and stole a sharp and fast kiss from my mouth before withdrawing. I had no time to react. He pulled me up to a sitting position while he gently took off my top leaving me only in my bra. He also took off his shirt before coming back to me.He captured my lips again kissing me senseless, I had buried both of my h
Nate's POVAs I gradually opened my eyes as I had just woken up, I was hit by the bright sun rays of light that shone through my window. Then I also felt the warm snuggle close to my chest. I looked and I saw Isabella in a deep sleep.I looked at her face intently, studying all of her facial features so closely, She was beautiful…so beautiful I concluded.I thought of how yesterday night had played out and a joy of satisfaction hit me deep as a wide smile spread across my face.Last night was wonderful and splendid. I had not been with anyone for the longest of time…not since my ex-girlfriend passed away.My friends had tried to hook me up with different girls a couple of times but I had declined their offer continuously. They even came to a point where they gave up on me. I had not been ready the whole time and I had always turned down their help of wanting to get me a girl. At least that's what they do themselves… hooking up with several girls and not having any form of stability.
Nate's POVMy friend Jack is such an asshole, I scoffed.I put my phone back on the table in front of me as I tried to pick back the files I had in my hand before Jack called. I raised my head to check on Isabella and I saw that she was awake and she was staring right at me.Oh… hey…you're awake? I asked as I tried to mask my excitement about seeing her.I didn't know how long Isabella had been up for or how much of my conversation she heard me have with Jack.“Yes”, she answered shyly, I then got up from the chair I was on and went to her on the bed.Good morning, dear, I said to her before planting a kiss on her forehead.She giggled and then answered me.What's the time? she suddenly asked and I told her what the time was.She muttered “shit” under her breath as she started looking around for her clothes.Isabella, what's wrong?Are you okay?Yeah, I'm fine now.You should have woken me up, it's way past morning hours and I didn't sleep in my room last night.What would everyone t
Isabella's POVOh my goodness! I muttered to myself as I told Nate goodbye before I stepped out of his room.My heartbeat was racing and beating against my chest really fast, I didn't know what to expect.I had a wonderful and lovely time with Nate earlier and I didn't think about anything. The whole of last night my mind was filled with thoughts of Nate and me alone. I lived in the moment completely forgetting about the outside world.I was lost in the world of ecstasy last night but now that I'm over that, reality has set in and I didn't know what the future held for me.I took gradual and gentle steps away from Nate's door, as I began to tiptoe towards my room. I was walking like a thief who was on a mission to steal and not to get caught in the process.I was scared of someone seeing me come out of Nate's room, I couldn't beat that. I do know that they must have known I slept in Nate's room last night given what Nate said to me earlier but I was still too conscious.I wanted to s
Isabella's POVEveryone went silent and I was still in shock. I didn't know what to do.After a few more minutes, I found my voice back and I immediately turned down his gesture.“Oh don't worry, we will eat in the living you can enjoy your meal sir.” I said hurriedly, and I tried to leave again but this time around, he stood up from his seat and moved towards me, stopping me from leaving.Don't leave, I really want you to stay. Let's eat together.I was unable to move, I just shook my head and followed him back to the dining table as he pulled me.I called Thelma to come and have a seat to buy. I refused to look at everybody in the face. I'm sure that they will be so surprised as hell.He sat down back in his seat and I moved far away from him a bit before sitting.He shot me a wicked look and I didn't care, only to hear him speak again.Babe, you are too far away.Come close, come sit next to me.By this time I was fuming in anger, I wondered why he was doing this to me. I could te
Nate's POV I laughed so loud as Isabella ran away from my reach in shame.I returned to my room and called for Damien.I knew that I had pressing and urgent needs to attend to but I still wanted to be around the house for as long as I could.Damien came into my room, I told him that I wouldn't be going to the office today so he should have my work for today brought home.“Go to the office and Jane will hand you some files for you to come give me”.He left afterwards. I had not told Jane that I wasn't coming to the office today so I called her.She greeted me after answering her call and I told her that I had sent Damien over to get my work for today from the office and then she should send me my schedule for today.Not long after we dropped the call, I got an email.Jane had sent me my schedule for today. I had two site inspections to do today but no office meetings making my decision not to go to work today a blessing in disguise.I decided to go for the site inspections from home an
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
