I was staring at the ceiling while laying on the bed thinking about the kiss Ace and I had. Unfortunately we got interrupted by Ace's phone and he said it was important so he had to take it.

Things are finally falling into place, Ron was right I shouldn't have overreacted about the whole thing I guess he was just adjusting to his new life.

**********

As soon as my alarm went off I immediately jumped off the bed. I went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth and washed my face. Today I made sure the alarm woke me up early so I can catch Ace before he went to work.

I made my way downstairs and my mood was instantly ruined when I saw James in the kitchen.

'Good morning.' I mumble and she doesn't answer me.

'I said good morning.' I say this time a little louder. She was making a big deal out of me yesterday for not talking to her so she needs to practice what she preaches.

'I heard you the first time.' she snaps and I narrow m

    'Ron stop it!' I say while glaring at him but he ignores me. 'Ronald!' 'Oh hush.' he says while he continues. We are currently in a restaurant you see, and Ron over here is busy writing down his number on a napkin. Why you ask well turns out our waiter is what Ron terms as 'a hunk of a man' 'Ron you don't know if his gay or not.' 'Exactly which is why it is good to know no?' 'That doesn't mean you have to scare the poor waiter.' 'You don't know that Izzy, just wait and see.' he says with a confident smirk on his face. 'Ron even if he was don't you think you are coming off a little too strong?' 'Izzy, no such thing as coming off too strong just watch and learn.' he wiggles his brows at me and I just shake my head smiling. 'Now enough about me what's going on with your hunk?' I don't know why when he said that I found myself blushing. 'I don't know what switch he flicked on

    'I thought I asked you a fucking question Izzy.' why the fuck was he angry I ask myself confused. 'Am I not allowed to go out now?' I ask starting to get a little annoyed I don't pester him about his whereabouts. 'When I ask a question I expect to be fucking answered now I will repeat where the fuck have you been?' 'Ace I told you where I was going when I left the house in the morning.' 'I knew that fucking friend of yours was trouble is this the time for you to return home?' 'Ace you usually return home when everyone is asleep you don't hear me yelling at you because of that but now because I came home later than usual just this once you yell at me?' 'That's because I'm fucking working goddammit.' I could see he was getting angrier by the second. 'And I was just with my friend Ace it's not a big deal.' I don't understand what we are even arguing about. 'I don't want you to see that i

    I knew I couldn't look at Ron in the eyes and told him that I couldn't be his friend anymore. It was killing me inside I didn't want to let him go.I just sat by the balcony and my heart felt so heavy. I thought back to how I first met Ron and I felt myself chuckling.FLASHBACK"mommy do I have to?" she just gives me a glare and I shut my mouth."What were you thinking Isabella?" she whisper yells at me."I'm sorry.""I'm not the one you should be apologizing to." I just look at her and back to the boy I assaulted."But mommy he was following me around.""He was trying to be your friend Isabella." she gives me a hard glare and I sigh in defeat."bu-""I don't want to hear anything from that mouth of yours young lady unless it's an apology to that boy."I fold my arms over my chest but one look from my mother I stopped and I made my way over to the boy.The moment I got to him

I just sighed and put my phone on my lap."Ruby it's me again where are you please get back to me as soon as you can where are you?" it beeped again I find myself just staring at my phone this is the first time Ruby has ever done something like this she's the type of person you can always get ahold of when you needed her this is unlike her.I stand up and start walking out of my room as I make my way towards the kitchen. As I'm walking down the stairs I hear voices."She'll...come... my... house." I hear a woman talking but I couldn't make out what she was saying.I then followed her voice. When I got there I just stood frozen.She was a brunette whose face was smeared in so much makeup and her dressing wasn't doing her any justice. She was wearing a mini skirt and from where I was standing I could literally see everything it was barely covering

    [chapter contains a little violence] ***I look at the clock on the wall and it's officially midnight and no sign of Ace. Since our little conversation I haven't heard anything from him. It's nothing new but I don't like the way we left things.I tried reaching out to him a dozen times but his phone went straight voicemail.I just prayed that nothing happened to him, on the other hand I still haven't heard anything from my sister yet. My parents aren't talking to me either but then again I'm the one who chose to cut them off but I could really use my mother right now.I must have zoned out because when I look at the clock again it was now 2am and still no Ace.I found myself getting more anxious. That's when I heard the door opening.I immediately jumped up from the sofa I couldn't really see anything since I have been sitting in the dark. That's when I went over and switched the lights on.That's when I got a better look at the person and sure enough it

    "Ruth?" I ask but she doesn't reply all she does is smile at me extending her hands towards me."Talk to me please." I plead but still no answer. She smiled so brightly, suddenly her smile faded the once beautiful smile she had put on her face gone. That's when she started to walk away."Ru-""Miss Isabella." I hear my name being called but I try to focus on Ruth but she was gone."Miss Isabella are you there?!" that's when I fluttered my eyes open and I looked around and saw that I was in my room on the floor. I saw that it was bright outside. I then concluded in my head that it was Ruth in my dreams but God it felt so real."Miss Isabella?" I then stood up and went to the door and when I opened it was a face I had never seen before.She didn't even wait for my invitation she just entered and went straight to my bed."Ma'am did you make your bed?" she asks a bit sceptical, and when I looked over it seemed as though no one had slept on it which is true.That's when events of yesterday

    "Fuck I can't deal with this shit anymore." he says running his hand through his head."What are you talking about?""Are you that fucking dump?" I just stared at him."I don't fucking love you goddammit, I can't fucking pretend like I do because God knows I don't." the moment he uttered those words I felt my world crumbling down."What are you... That's not true Ace." I say as I reach my hands to touch his cheek but he just brushed my hand off." Ace you love me." I say tears already threatening to fall down my face I could feel myself shaking it can't be true he loves me."I know you might be going through some stuff right now and I'm here for you but please don't say that you don't love me please." my voice cracking at the end."I don't fucking love you and I can't do this anymore I want my fucking freedom because this is torture." he says while pointing between the two of us."Th-""then why?

That's when I started to panic.I then without thinking I took the warm sheet and removed it off me I I started getting down from the bed only it was like my legs had a mind of their own.One moment I was on the floor the next thing I felt my legs giving out. I just held my breath and brazed for impact only just before I hit the floor a pair of muscular hands held on to me and when I looked up God I saw the sexist man I had ever laid my eyes on his eyes those eyes are the same eyes I had dreamt of. His jawline I could trace it with my finger and never get tired. His short beard the way his hair fell to his forehead."Where the fuck do you think you are going?" his voice dark and full with demand but yet it was sexy God wh

    **Logan's POV**The moment I stepped out of her apartment, the evening air did little to cool the fire in my veins. I needed to shake off the effect she had on me. **Isabella.** She was a distraction—a dangerous one. I hated the way she had gotten under my skin, but there was no denying it. This little game was getting more intense with each passing second. As I drove back to my place, I replayed the events of the evening. Her defiance, the way she looked at me when she thought I couldn’t see her. That damn spark in her eyes that made me want to both crush her and protect her all at once. But I didn’t have time for this now.Danny was waiting when I arrived. My second-in-command was leaning against the wall near the door, a cigarette hanging from his lips. “You’re late, boss,” he muttered, flicking the cigarette away and crushing it under his boot. His eyes darted toward me, reading my mood. "You good?"“Where is he?” I barked, ignoring his question. Danny nodded, understanding the s

    The evening was quiet as Isabella hummed softly, chopping vegetables in her kitchen, the warm smell of lasagna filling the small space. She had been looking forward to a peaceful night alone, just her and her homemade dinner. That’s when a sharp knock echoed through the house, interrupting the quiet.Isabella paused, the knife still in her hand. She glanced at the clock. 5:30 pm. Who would be visiting at this time? Wiping her hands on a dish towel, she moved to the front door. When she opened it, there was no one there—just a large package sitting on her doorstep, wrapped in elegant blue paper and tied with a bow. Her eyes darted up and down the street. Nothing. Not a single person in sight. A slight frown formed on her face as she bent down, hesitating for a moment before picking up the box and bringing it inside. She set it on the kitchen counter, curiosity bubbling inside her.“What the hell is this?” she muttered to herself as she pulled the bow loose and carefully unwrapped the

  • The Unwanted Wife    Logan’s POV

    Logan’s pulse hammered in his ears as he pinned her against the door, his large hands gripping Isabella’s arms tightly enough to hold her in place but not enough to hurt her. His lips crashed onto hers without thinking, the need to possess her overriding every rational thought. It wasn’t supposed to be like this—he wasn’t supposed to lose control. Not with her. But the moment her lips met his, every ounce of cold, calculated restraint shattered. She tasted like trouble and he hated it. Hated the way his body responded to her, hated the fire that ignited between them the second he touched her. He wasn’t the type of man to be moved by women, especially not someone like Isabella. "Get her out of your system," Logan’s mind growled. "This is just sexual frustration. It’s nothing more." But as his hand slipped up her thigh, gripping the soft skin under her dress, he felt her body tremble, not with desire but with fear. Panic. The second his fingers brushed the thin fabric of her underwea

  • The Unwanted Wife    Midnight Realisations

    The stillness of the night enveloped Izzy as she abruptly woke up, her mind hazy and disoriented. The quiet of the house almost seemed oppressive, the ticking of the clock on her nightstand magnifying the deafening silence that wrapped around her. She blinked several times, trying to shake off the grogginess, and slowly the events of earlier that evening came rushing back. Logan’s touch. His lips on hers. The possessive way he held her against the door. The intensity of the kiss that had left her breathless and vulnerable. She sat up in bed, heart racing as she thought about it. Embarrassment flushed her cheeks as she recalled the way she had let herself melt into the moment, how easily she had given in to the heat between them. But then… then she had panicked. The second his hand had started to trail up her dress, her body froze, not in desire but in fear. That old, familiar fear that Ace had burned into her. "Ace," she whispered under her breath, feeling a cold shudder ripple thr

    Izzy stood at the bus stop, her eyes scanning the street, lost in thought about her conversation with Ron earlier. She had managed to avoid most of his questions about Logan, but she knew it wasn’t the end. Ron would pry more—it was in his nature. But the truth? She couldn't tell him that. Not about Logan being "D." Not about the threats. Not about what she'd seen Logan do.A sleek black car pulled up in front of her, snapping her back to the present. The tinted window rolled down, and Logan’s sharp, dark eyes locked onto hers from the driver’s seat.“Get in,” he said flatly, his voice leaving no room for argument.Her pulse quickened, and she took a step back, shaking her head. "I’m walking."Logan’s gaze hardened, his fingers tapping the steering wheel with a dangerous kind of patience. “Isabella,” he said slowly,the way he said her name sent shivers down her spine"I’m not asking. If you don’t get in the car, I’ll make you. And I don’t think you want that."Her heart skipped a beat,

    Izzy sat cross-legged on her bed, idly flipping through a magazine while Ron lounged across from her, leaning against a pile of pillows. They had been hanging out for the better part of the afternoon, their usual banter filling the room with lighthearted chatter. But Ron was never one to miss an opportunity to dig into something that intrigued him.He glanced at her, then narrowed his eyes playfully. “Okay, spill it. How exactly do you know Logan? And don’t give me that ‘he just showed up’ nonsense.”Izzy felt her stomach flip, her fingers suddenly tightening on the edges of the magazine. She had been expecting this conversation—Ron was way too curious to just let it slide—but that didn’t make it any easier to navigate. How could she explain any of it without revealing too much?She put the magazine down, trying to maintain a neutral expression. “We just kind of... crossed paths.”Ron sat up straighter, his eyes gleaming with interest. “Crossed paths?

    Izzy entered the college campus with a mix of relief and anxiety. The bright morning sun illuminated the quad where students milled about, their voices a comforting background hum. She spotted her friend—Ron standing with Megan, and Josh—gathered under a large oak tree near the fountain. Ron, always the center of attention with his animated stories, had a crowd of students laughing along with him.As Izzy approached, Ron’s eyes lit up with recognition. “Hey, look who’s finally graced us with her presence! Did you get lost on a secret adventure or something?”Megan and Josh turned their attention to her, their smiles fading into expressions of concern. “Hey, Izzy,” Megan said, her voice gentle. “We were starting to worry. You disappeared pretty quickly the other night.”Izzy forced a smile, trying to push away the shadows of recent events. “Yeah, it’s been a bit of a whirlwind. I had to... deal with some stuff.”Josh leaned forward, his curiosity evident. “Deal with what? You’ve got us

    Izzy descended the stairs, her head still throbbing from the events of last night. As she reached the lower level, she found Logan in the foyer, engaged in conversation with a group of well-dressed men. Their gazes fell on her immediately, and she felt a rush of discomfort under their scrutiny. One of the men, a tall figure with slicked-back hair and a designer suit, eyed her with a smirk. “Well, look who’s up,” he said, his tone condescending. “Feeling better, I hope?”Another man, stockier with a grizzled face, looked her up and down with a smirk. “She doesn’t look too great. Seems like she had quite a night.”A third man, with a neatly trimmed beard and a cocky attitude, leaned in and whispered to his companions, “Did you see the way she was dressed last night? Talk about making an impression.”Izzy felt her face flush with embarrassment. She wanted to retreat, but Logan’s presence was a stern reminder that there was nowhere to hide.Logan’s expression darkened as he noticed their

    Izzy woke with a start, her eyes fluttering open to an unfamiliar room bathed in soft morning light. She blinked a few times, trying to make sense of where she was. The bed beneath her was large, luxurious, and far too comfortable to be her own. As she attempted to sit up, a sharp pain shot through her temples, forcing her to groan and lay her head back down on the pillow.Her mind was foggy, the events of the previous night a blur. She closed her eyes, trying to piece together what had happened. There had been a party… her friends… dancing… then the guy—her body tensed at the memory of him, his hands on her, pulling her into that room. Tears welled up in her eyes as the details came flooding back, a sickening knot forming in her stomach as she remembered what he had tried to do. And then, Logan. He had come for her. Saved her.Logan.The thought of him made her heart pound in a way she didn’t want to acknowledge. She remembered how safe she had felt in his arms, the way her fear had
