Chapter 11 The Rescue
I go slow as I really don't know if I can go through with it. I unbutton his pants and slide his zipper down. I just keep telling myself it's just to stall, to allow Adam to get the cops here. I just need more time. He uses the gun to caress my cheek. I have to close my eyes so he can't see the revulsion in my eyes. It must work as he hums thinking I'm doing it in pleasure. I push his pants down, taking more time. But he's impatient and shoves my hand inside his briefs. I finally take him in my hand. I can feel the vomit about to come up my throat. Finally, there's a pounding on the door. "You didn’t listen. I told you I would not let another man have you. I’ll kill him first. Get rid of whoever it is, or they die then you do. I'm not playing." He demands. "Ok." I agree. He’s right. I did this. I created this problem. I can’t let him hurt Adam. “I’ll talk to him and explain I need to talk with you. He’s probably just confused because of what happened at the mall. I’ll get him to

Chapter 12 Confession
"We dated for a year. Three days before I came here, I walked in on him screwing his secretary in his office. I ended it. He followed me here and showed up at a club I went to with my coworkers. I had a couple drinks and I wasn't drunk at all, but I wanted answers." I reply. "Why he cheated, did I not please him. I was feeling so insecure about myself. He had admitted he liked it hard and rough but he thought I wasn't the type of woman who would like that part of him. So, he used others for that kind of sex." I explain. "He's obviously messed up." Adam replies. "Please, I need to finish. He'd been screwing her for six months! And been with three other women. l wanted revenge so badly did something stupid." I continue. "I brought him back and showed him what he was missing. Then I ended it again and threw him out. Security escorted him out of the building. I pushed him over the edge." I paused. "It was my stupid revenge that caused him to do this. He told me that now he knew how g

Chapter 13 Here We Go Again
"Oh oh." I gasp. "Cute. Why don't you just stay here? You've got what 4 months left?" He asks. "Adam we just met. I don't think I should be moving in with you. I mean it's complicated to say the least. I'm afraid this won't end well." I explain. "Look I can provide you with the security you need. We are both into each other. And what if your Ex gets out on bail?" He asks. I bite my lip thinking. What will I do if he gets out on bail? I know he'll come for me. But I'm afraid of falling hard for Adam and having my heart broken.But my heart is better than my life. And this will probably be short lived. Maybe I should just enjoy it while it lasts right? "Ok. You're right I have to think about him getting out on bail." I agree. "This is the right thing to do. Trust me, I'll keep you safe." He promises. I call Mr. Jackson and let him know everything. Well not the sleeping with Adam. But I told him I was staying at Adam's house for the security. He didn't question it.It's been two w

Chapter 14 The Question
Security shows us to the manager’s office. We go in and sit down. Adam explains what happened. "I want to apologize Miss Gilliam for what happened. "I'm glad you had videos to prove your case. But you're putting me in a hard place. You know whose daughter she is. I can't afford trouble with her father. I'm not throwing you out nor black listing you. And I can't throw her out either." He explains. "Are you kidding me?!" Adam demands. "Adam don't. Just take me home." I reply. "Don't worry we won't be back." He warns. We leave the club. So much for celebrating. We get to his house and go to his bedroom. "Is the universe trying to tell us something? First Jesee, then Rachel. I mean seriously?!" I reply. "Fuck the universe and to hell with Jesee and Rachel. I want you. And only you. Isabel, I want you to think about something. I want you to consider moving here permanently. To California and here with me." He replies. "I don't know what to say." I gasp. "Don't say anything. Just

Chapter 15 Back to VA
Thanks to Adam running through every mud hole, he could find we got nasty! He even got us stuck and I waded to the edge to get the rope for my dad to tow us out! He's such a guy! We get back to my parents and he's pulling off his shoes and shirt. Even covered in mud he's sexy. We spray off with the water hose to get most the mud off. Then strip down to our underwear and go through the utility room.Mom left towels for us. We showered and got dressed. After dinner we went to my apartment. "I haven't had that much fun ever! Wow you guys got to grow up around here. You had all the fun!" He exclaims. "When I was in school, we had horses. We used to go riding every weekend. We'd leave out after breakfast and pack food. And not return till bedtime. We'd ride all over the mountains. After we sold the horses, dad bought the four wheelers. Then the county started making all the trails for atv's." I explain. "I am so jealous. I think you needed to ask me to move in with you!! I wish I'd be

Chapter 16 Surprise Appearance
I'll try.” He replies. “It's ok. I understand. Your group depends on you.” I reply. “Have I told you how proud I am of you? The work you've done in turning around that office is amazing.” He praises. “Thanks! I'm proud to say that so far, I've acquired back half of those who left. And we've been complaint free since I cleaned house.” I explain. “You are an amazing woman. My amazing woman!” He kisses me. Two weeks passed quickly and it was time for Adam to leave. I wanted our goodbyes private so we did them at his house. “It will pass quickly. You'll see.” Adam assures me. “I know. Safe travels!” I reply. “I love you!” He replies. “And I love you!” I reply. After he left, I took a long hot shower and cried. It hurt so bad to say goodbye. I don't know why. It's only temporary. I’m being so needy. What's wrong with me?! **ADAM’S TEXT** I miss you like crazy! (heart emoji’s) **ISABEL’S TEXT** Me too! (heart emoji’s) **ADAM’S TEXT** Boarding, love you! **ISABEL’S TEXT** Fly

Chapter 17 Trial Results
“Oh, that's right you conveniently missed the first part of the conversation. The part where she said and I quote "l see you didn't heed my warnings” of course she saw you and retorted that other crap.” I retort. “Why would she do this? We have never been involved at all.” He replies. “Because she has decided she wants you and she’s insane. She’s also used to getting whatever she wants. And I'm standing in her way!” I reply. “You sound like you don’t believe me?” He doesn't answer just stands there. Are you kidding me?! I go to our bedroom and get my pajamas and go to the bathroom. This is unbelievable. He can’t believe me over some bitch he doesn’t even know. I lock the door. I’m pretty pissed at him right now. “Babe, why's the door locked?” Adam asks. “I don't feel like talking to you right now.” I retort. “I don't understand why.” He replies. Seriously? Please tell me he’s not serious! I unlock the door and walk out. “Let's see, I told you the whole story, and how she comp

Chapter 18 The Plot Thickens
“You were drinking, then all of a sudden you were drunk. You passed out at the bar right after that video, and I took you back to the hotel.” Security answers.“So, you saw everything that happened? And nothing happened after this video?” Adam demands.“Yes Sir.” The security replies.“Isabel, I think I was drugged. I only had two drinks. There's no way I would be so drunk I would do that plus not remember it and pass out. When I woke up this morning I felt like shit and I couldn’t remember anything from last night after getting to the bar.” He explains.“Well maybe you should get tested. Goodbye Adam.” I reply.“Where are you going? You’re leaving? Why? I didn’t do this?” He explains.“I want nothing to do with this. Someone who’ll go to that extent to break us up and its all-over social media that you two are a couple and getting married. It’s just too much. Who knows what else she will do. She’ll never stop.” I reply.I walk out the door and got in the jag and drove to the hotel I

Chapter 19 The Plan
“Sure, I understand. Take whatever time you need.” Max agrees.“Thanks.” I reply as I hang up.There's a knock at my door. I wondered how long it would take him. I grab all the stuff I was working on and stuff it in my briefcase and close it. Then answer the door. “I just needed to see you were ok.” He responds.“Well now you've seen me, I'm in one piece, you can go.” I reply. “Please can we talk?” He pleads.“I don't know what there is to say.” I respond.“Please? Just five minutes.” He begs. “Fine.” I respond.I let him in and I sit at the table. He sits down opposite of me. “Look I know she drugged me. Here's proof from the lab. I would never cheat on you. And other than the kissing nothing else happened.”“I know.” I reply.“Then you'll come home?” He asks.“No.” I reply.“But I don't understand. I didn’t cheat. I was drugged. And nothing happened. You can’t hold this against me. That’s not fair.” He pleads.“I’m not. I left because it's never going to end. Every time we are ha

“You said it was an emergency concerning my daughter?” Mr. Hylton replies. I tell him the whole story. Show him the pictures, letters, and videos. “How much do you want to make this go away?” He demands. “Zero.” I reply. “I’m having trouble following.” He responds. “The only thing I want is for your word that your daughter will never bother me or Adam ever again! Can you make that happen?” I ask. “Yes, I can.” He picks up his cell phone.” I want to see you in my office now.” “And that's all you want? Nothing else? What guarantee do I have?” He asks. “From everything I've read about you, live seen you are a man of your word. So, I am going on a gentleman's agreement.
