Chapter 21: A New Job

"So what will you do now?" Aiden asked as I tend to his bruise. "What else can I do? I'll just go look for another job. I'm sure I can find a job out there," I said, not saying the part where I almost puked blood just to land my first ever job. "If you want, my older brother runs his own company, maybe I can get you in," he said. "You don't have to do that, you have already done a lot for me," I declined. I don't want to give him the impression that I'm just using him. "Oh come on, his company gives great benefits, plus, he even offers to fund scholarships, it'll help you with your studies so you can finally go to college," he said, and I was taken aback for a second. "How did you..." "I can tell. You work full time at Dominic's company but you have a lot of books under your bed. It's really a no brainier," he shrugged and kept quiet. I looked down and indeed the books I bought were visible down there. This guy is something else, he's very keen and observant. And

Chapter 22: A New Chapter

"So let me ge this straight, you got fired the other day, then you got hired yesterday, and now you're moving out?" Kara said, walking back and forth while I sat down, looking at her going on and on like that for ten minutes now. "Yeah," I answered her, massaging my temples."And where are you moving again?" "To my boss's house," "Yeah... right, of course. And ummm...you agreed to it?" "Well, yeah," She has her hand on her waist, her face looking stressed. I know she's worried about me, not to mention I told her the truth why I quit."Isabella, not that I don think you can make it on your own. But this world is full of bad people. Why don't you just go back...""No," I stood up, "I can't go back. I'm finally free from their clutches, if I go back home it's like I'm admitting defeat to them. And I can't let them have that Kara, I just can't." I said to her and she covered her face with her hands as she sat down. "You know mom has been asking a lot about you. Why don't you go talk

Chapter 23: Moving In

Aiden was the one driving. It must've been half an hour before we reached their house, or rather it's more fitting to say the word 'mansion'. "Are you excited?" "Not more than you," "Don't worry, my brother just seem like a grumpy person but he is actually very nice guy," he said. I recalled me and Hayden's first interaction, and that image still remained stuck in my head. "Hey, are you listening to me?" Aiden tapped my shoulder. "Huh, yeah, what did you say?" I asked, my head still floating in the clouds. "I said you can get off now. Or do you want me to give you the princess treatment?" He scooched closer, batting hus eyes. "Shut up," I pushed his face away and opened the car door and got off. "Aiden," "Yeah?" "Is it really okay for me to live here?" I asked as we walked to the entrance. "Of course! I'd love to have you here," he muttered, raising his hands up. "And you're brother?" I asked, and his smile slowly faded. "Hmmm...well, he doesn't stay h

Chapter 24: Return To School

As agreed yesterday, me and Aiden went to his academy so I can register. And as expected, his school is not like any other school. It's the school for elite. The Golden Academy. As far as I know they are very much strict with the students they allow to enter. I haven't even passed my credentials yet but they've already accepted me. It's suspicious why such a prestigious academy would allow a girl with no background, but I can only speculate that Hayden has something to do with it. "I'm so excited to have you here with me. We're gonna have so much fun, I'll introduce you to my friends and I'll tour you around campus," Aiden said enthusiastically. He has such a golden retriever vibe. I bet a lot of girls are trying to pursue him. I filed a bunch of papers at the registrar first, and after that, Aiden and I walked around the oval looking at other students. And I swear I saw glares from other girls as they watched me and Aiden walk together. Sigh. I have not even started, ye

Chapter 25: Being Wacthed

I walked towards Aiden and the others and even from afar I could tell that there was something weird going on. Ara was nowhere to be found, and Aiden’s friends were all looking at him, and mind you, not the good kind of look, the kind of look that put someone six feet under. What’s happening? I have a gut feeling as to what could have happened, and seeing Aiden’s expression getting uglier as I got closer only proved my suspicion. “Aiden, what is going on?” I asked him, and he turned his face away. His friend scoffed at his behavior and cursed at him. “This rotten bastard made Ara cry. She finally confessed her feelings, and instead of just rejecting her, he insulted her. Like what the hell, bro! She was your friend, at least you could have rejected her more nicely! Why the insults?!” Leon yelled, pulling his collar. “Leon! Stop that…enough!” Therese intervened and pulled Leon away. I also tried to help by pulling Aiden away, grabbing his arm, but he just swatted my hand away an

Chapter 26: Strained Smiles and Old Acquaintances

I didn't dwell much on what happened yesterday. I also didn't bother telling Aiden about my gut feeling that someone was following me since he'll surely make a big deal out of it. Also, I'm not really sure if someone was indeed following me since I didn't really take a good look and I didn’t see anyone, so I have no evidence. Today, I got up early since it will be my first day at work. Hayden told me that we will be meeting some important people and that I should dress up nicely. I wore the dress Aiden bought for me at the mall a few days ago and I guess I look the part now since Hayden told me we were going in a fancy restaurant. I didn't want to embarrass him so I did extra effort with my make up. I looked at the time and it was almost nine o'clock already. He's probably waiting downstairs for me to finish. Once I was satisfied with how I looked. I smiled at the mirror one last time before walking out of my room. I walked down the stairs and indeed Hayden wa

Chapter 27: Cutting Words

"I see, so you know Bella?” Hayden said. "I doubt you're unaware of that," Dominic replied back. Before the tension could thicken any further, Fiona stepped forward, her face glowing with a perfectly rehearsed smile. “Isabella, I didn't thought I'd see you again” she said, her voice dripping with condescension. “It's good that you're here,” I felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Her smile was anything but friendly. “Congratulations,” I replied, trying to keep my tone light. I know she doesn’t like be very much, or maybe she doesn’t like me at all. I thought that animosity of her’s would go away when I retired for Dominic but it seems she still carrying her hatred towards me. "I'm finally getting married, after a lot of obstacles thrown aside, finally there's nothing left to stop us," she said, with a double meaning behind her words as she looked at me with a veiled venomous look. Hayden’s hand slid protectively around my waist, pulling me

Chapter 28: First Day of School

“Hey! Are you ready on your first day?” Aiden jumped at me. “You make it sound like I’m in kindergarten.” I chuckled at him.The school gave me my schedule already and got it delivered along with Aiden’s. We have different classes since we don’t have the same program, but our last schedule is the same, so we’ll be going home together. Hayden also approved of the schedule. Before, our agreement was that I work for him from eight in the morning to three in the afternoon, but I guess he called the school and made some changes because it was now the opposite of that. I get to go to school from eight to three, and then I go work at his office from four in the afternoon to eight in the evening. It sounds exhausting but I have to be patient and persevere if I want to finish school. So I’ll do whatever I can to make it so. …We arrived at the school in a blink of an eye, and I swear my palms are sweating like crazy. I don’t know

Chapter 29: A Friend

“Do you want to go to lunch together?” I asked Asher and he briskly nodded his head. “I can tour you around campus if you want since your new here. I can tell you the nice places to hangout and the places you should always avoid.” He said, and my nose scrunched at the last part. “There are places that I should avoid? Why?” I asked curiously. “Well…there are good guys and bad guys here. I just don’t want you to get into trouble, especially since they can be pretty territorial around here,” He replied and I nodded in understanding. It should be a no brainer, how silly of me. In my previous school there are also those who think so highly of themselves, of course I wasn’t one of those students who get picked on because of my status, but it’s just sad that there are people who thinks they are above the law. I really hate those kind of people. However, it can’t be helped, that is the rule of the world, only the strong and wise remains, so if you want to
