All Chapters of THE BILLIONAIRE'S RUNAWAY MISTRESS: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Ignoring the stranger flattering question, Isabel walked past the stranger, keeping a straight face.The last thing she needed was having another man hit on her when she was yet to get rid of the two on her neck."Come on, a pretty lady like you shouldn't walk around with such expression. It doesn't suit you." The man persisted, while she walked away briskly, not wanting to be left in an awkward situation with the stranger.However, he following her, talking to her, even though she outrightly ignored him.What kind of an idiot doesn't read the atmosphere to know when a lady wants to speak to him, and when she doesn't?"I couldn't help but notice you from earlier, while you were speaking to Principal Anderson. Honestly, I was beyond captivated by your beauty and I knew I'd to speak to you before the day runs out." He continued, while Isavel hastened her steps, barely saying anything to him."I understand that you are skeptical about indulging in a conversation with a man you just me

Two nights later, Isabel and the boys were having dinner, when her phone began to ring from the kitchen.She excused herself, then got up to go pick the call, out of the boy's earshot.Seeing Austin's name on the caller screen, she felt a tinge of disappointment.Not that she didn't appreciate Austin who have been calling her nonstop for the past two days, to check up on her, but because deep within herself, she wished it was Sebastian calling her not him.She wanted him to be the one calling, not anyone else.But despite her disappointment, she accepted the call, placing the phone against her right ear."How are you doing, Isabel?" He asked her the second she accepted his call, his voice laced with concern and care like always."I'm fine, Austin.""You don't sound fine, Isabel. At least, not to me." He persisted,"I will be fine." She told him, sounding as convincing as she could,"Has there been any news about his whereabouts?""Not yet. The search is still ongoing, but they've found

"What are you talking about, Isabel? Why are you asking me this?" Sebastian's brows furrowed tentatively as he stared at her,"I am asking because I need to know what I'm signing up for. I know you've just survived a near death experience and this shouldn't be the base of our discussion for now, but I need to know what I'm signing myself up for." She explained to him, ignoring the unfathomable look on his face."Should I expect loyalty from you, as much as you desire it from me? Let's talk about commitment. Is this a long term relationship or a short term relationship? Is there a future to this, or does it lead to a dead end?"Sebastian opened his mouth to reply her, but he knew he'd be lying to her, if he told her what she wants to hear.The fact remained that he has never met a woman he's so obsessed with, as much as he was obsessed with Isabel. She was the only woman who'd ever brought him real pleasure. The only woman who has left him wanting for more every single time, despite he

"Wow! That is a quite a long while to be away from your family. We thought you were dead or something, until I overheard Jasmine telling mother that she met you at the ice cream parlor a few days ago."Isabel managed a grimace, but did not say anything.Even after all these years, she was still nervous about being in his presence. And although she knew he wouldn't do anything to her now, she couldn't suppress the discomfiture.Gone are those days he would threaten to unalive her if she snitched on him, or try to have his way with her.Suddenly, a voice came from upstairs and from the sound of it, Isabel could tell the owner."Why are you trying to yell down my roof, boy?"However, her heart didn't race this time, hearing the familiar voice. Her heart wasn't beating fast, nor was she scared that she might've done something wrong.This time, she was calmly waiting for the woman to come downstairs and join them.She was eager to see what her reaction would be, seeing her after nine years.

Watching Isabel stepped into the black tinted-window car, Jasmine and Nadia were stunned into silence.Neither of them could believe their eyes.Without saying anything to them, Zachary closed the door after Isabel went in, and he went around, getting into the driver's side.Right in front of them, the car drove off, and a few blocks away from their house, another similar car followed in tow.Barely recovering from the shock, Jasmine turned to her stunned mother, and she asked,"What just happened?"The woman didn't say anything. Instead, she was staring at the moving cars, until they took a turn and disappeared from her sight.Only then did she recover from the shock."Mother, did you just witness that?""I did, Jas, and I'm short of words on what to say. I cannot believe Isabel is living such luxurious life." Nadia told her daughter,"I cannot believe that after everything, that wretched orphan girl is living a better life than us." She seethed enviously,"Mom, did you see that
