All Chapters of The Billionaire's Bargain Bride: Chapter 11 - Chapter 18

Isabelle CampbellMr. Charles was almost done with his food and the funny stories he told about him and his late wife made me laugh so hard and my heart feel so light.No matter how bad it’s going, this man can brighten your day.“You are an amusing man, your wife was very lucky to have you in her life” I laughed and wiped the tears from the corner of my eyes.“I’m a real charmer, you know? She couldn’t resist me and my many funny stories. I would make a fine storyteller, eh?” he wriggled his brows with a grin on his lips which was followed by a series of coughs.I stood up and grabbed the glass of water from the bedside table to give him. I patted his back lightly and waited for him to calm down before handing the glass to him. He took it and gave me a thumbs up.Just then, a knock was heard on the door and Alessandro’s head popped in before the rest of his body entered the room.A wide grin formed on his lips as he looked at his grandfather. I went back to sit on the chair I was sit

Alessandro MorettiI checked my appearance in the mirror and adjusted my tie well. I loosen the tie to give myself some space to breathe.I needed to feel okay since I could meet people I didn’t want to meet.My eyes settled on a single rose and card sitting on my bed. I sighed and turned to pick it up.“Can’t believe I let his words get to my head” I muttered under my breath and opened the card to read what was written. I chuckled at the words and placed them back on the bed.I checked the time once more, picked up the rose and card once more and walked to my bedside table to fetch my watch and keys before going outside my room to pick Isabelle up.I imagined Isabelle in a stunning, off-the-shoulder red dress, slit up her thigh, her dark hair styled in a sleek updo with soft, wavy tendrils framing her smooth, porcelain face.“What is wrong with you?” I smacked my forehead to get those thoughts out of my head.My phone rang and I paused from entering my car to answer it.“Yes?” my bro

Isabelle Campbell“This taste so good” I compliment between bits as I savored the egg rolls and spicy fried rice Ben brought for me. It has been a couple of hours since we sat here talking about our childhood, work and just anything entertaining.He grinned with a proud look on his face. “I made them myself, Glad you love it”My eyes widened slightly in amusement as I chewed. “That’s impressive, you’re a great cook” I raised my hand for a high-five, Ben gladly reciprocated, our palms met with a satisfying clap.“What’s going on here?”Alessandro’s gruff voice interrupted as he walked in. I didn’t notice him entering, but somehow, I could sense anger radiating from him with his eyes narrowed fixed on me then on his friend.I held the food plate out to him. “Ben made me dinner,” I explained, offering a warm to Ben who winked at me. I couldn’t help but blush.He’s a handsome guy, can’t blame me.I glanced at Alesandro noting his intense glare at Ben, who tried unsuccessfully to hide a gr

Isabella CampbellI opened my eyes to an empty room and frowned because it felt like I was on the floor due to the hard surface beneath me. I sat up and was right when I found myself on the floor.I stood to my feet slowly because I was in so much pain. I wondered why I was here in the first place because the last I remember, I was in the hospital after that harsh experience I had days ago.I turned around to see the interior of the apartment I got attacked in and was scared that my attacker was still in there.Looking around the well-lit room, I made my way to the phone to call someone for help. When I picked up the phone, I felt someone touch my wrist and I jerked trying to wriggle my hand from the person’s grip only for it to tighten.I looked at the person only to be met with a masked face. I screamed and held my body being held back followed by the soothing voice of Ben.I opened my eyes to see myself laying on the hospital bed. Ben was holding my hands, worry on his face.“Are y
