YSABELLEMy eyes widened as if our lips met for the first time in a while. My heart pounded rapidly as I felt his damp and soft lips on mine. I immediately pushed myself away from him with a trembling grip on his chest, feeling the heat gushing on my face. I can hear the faint laugh of the twins around us while our gaze locks on each other.What had just happened?However, my brows furrowed when the corner of his lips lifted. Amusement was plastered on his ocean-blue eyes.“Don't smile,” I spoke out with gritted teeth.“I'm not.”“Don't laugh.” He raises his two hands in the air, pursing his lips together. “It was an accident. Period!”“I know.” He said and his smile slowly reached his eyes.“Damn it, Ronan! Don't show me that freaking smile of yours!” I harshly threw him the balls and got off the pool with a big stride.Embarrassment filled my whole body.“Are you running away?” He exclaimed with a hint of amusement.Damn him!“Take care of the kids!”I left the kids' play center a

YSABELLERonan sighs deeply as he still keeps listening to Candice's tantrum in another line for how many seconds before he agrees.It's not like I want to see Candice's face but I just have the courage to piss her off. “I will just drop her first.” He said with a frown before turning the car and changing lanes.I just want to tease Candice. What would she feel if she saw me with Ronan? Does she also feel what I felt when I saw them together before?The rage comes back into my chest.I want to torture and ruin Candice's life but I can't do anything since my father monitors my move. Also, she's clean. There's nothing to use to ruin her life, except being Ronan's mistress.But I can't use that because my children might get involved.Not long after, the car stopped in front of a beauty salon. I scoffed that she always takes care of herself while leaving Jacob in New York with his nannies. Why is Ronan not scolding her about being so selfish?I rolled down the window to get some fresh a

YSABELLE Adrenaline rushed through me and sprinted to Ronan with my heart thrumming inside my chest when I saw the car start to move backward. I immediately turned off the engine and shot a glare at Ronan, who just chuckled in his seat, unbothered at the future accident. I slapped his face lightly. “You're drunk, and yet, you plan to drive home?” I said with gritted teeth.He almost crashed into the car behind.“I'm not drunk.”I glared at him with full intent. “That's what drunk people always say.”I pushed him to the passenger seat. He didn't say anything and just moved over, groaning as his head accidentally hit the window.Served him right!I looked around, hoping to find someone reliable that could help this jerk to take him to his place.“Where the hell is your bodyguard or driver?” I asked.But as expected, I didn't receive a proper response from an intoxicated man.I buttoned the coat I had which was owned by Ronan as the cold st

YSABELLEI leaned in my chair as I gazed at the window. White, fluffy clouds drifted across the sky as a train of thoughts ran in my head. With a deep and heavy sigh, I cannot help but replay the words of Ronan over and over again. Confused and torn at what to believe. Candice and Connor? Meeting at the hotel? I even overthink that they have a relationship. I should not have cared since I don't have a serious relationship with Connor. It's just that, why, of all people, he's with Candice? I remember how he looked at her during the product photoshoot. Did he fall for her?I'm fuming in madness because why does it have to be Candice? And why did Connor hide this from me? I won't be mad if he falls in love with someone else. But really? Candice? Jesus Christ!Also, I badly want to know if Ronan did really talk to my father about Connor's company. But I don't dare to call Ronan or my father at all.I swirled my chair 360 degrees while contemplating where should I start with my curiosi

YSABELLEThe sun shone brilliantly in the clear, blue sky as I closed the trunk of the car with sweat dripping down my spine. The kids hurriedly hopped in the car. I made sure everything was here before hopping in the driver's seat.It's Saturday, so I asked the bodyguards and my driver to take a day off since we're going to New York. As I start the engine, I tilt my head as I wonder how I came up with my decision yesterday. My hands tightened at the steering wheel because I knew for sure Candice was there.But I need to make sure what's true. I will do the DNA test of Ronan and Jacob without anyone's knowledge.“Mommy! We're going to see Jacob?”My thoughts were distracted by Ashley. “Yes, baby.”“But he's bad.”I frowned at her comment. “He's what?” I asked as I glanced at the rearview mirror to see her frowning in the back seat.Did Jacob hurt my kids at his birthday party? They looked okay from afar, though.“I don't want to play with him, Mommy.” She cutely sulked as she crosse
