ISABELLA
I just knew it had been a fucking mistake to seduce and sleep with a total stranger, I groaned as I slipped into my home.The night had been perfect and my hangover very severe or maybe the reason why I was having this terrible headache was because of what the man had said to me.He wanted marriage? No… he had insisted on the both of getting married.What kind of person decided to marry a girl he had a one night stand with and because she seduced him.I collapsed on the bed, reaching for my phone again.Robert had called me a lot of times and had sent messages.I opened one of them, scoffing at the length of the messageMy love,Please pick up so I can explain. It is not what you think and I know you never want to speak to me again but I love you and I want to make this right. Please pick up or call me, then we can talk. She means nothing to me and I swear she seduced me.You mean the world to me, pumpkin… I promise that if you give me another chance then this would never happen again.Happy birthday love of my life.The second message was more angry at me than sorry and I wondered how I had not discovered just the kind of person I had been in a relationship with.I did not bother to open the rest of his messages before I deleted them, sighing as the headache increased.“Asshole” I snapped, flinging my phone to the side as I thought about the stranger.He is not a stranger if you both have had sex and he had explored your body so thoroughly, my mind reminded me.He was right though about how crazy it was going to be explaining things to my mother. I knew that no matter what I said she would insist that I go back to Robert.She wanted him as a son in- law and she was grateful to him for everything he had done to assist our family but that did not give him the right to cheat on me and with my best friend.I did not want to think about this but if I wanted revenge then I had to go along with Damien. I wasn’t going to allow Camilla win and although I was heartbroken, I was going to have to suck it up and show them that I wasn’t someone to be trifled with too.I nodded at this, reaching for his card.The name read, Damien Moretti and nothing more.Who was he?Why did his name sound very familiar? Like I had heard it somehow and knew it.There was no way that was possible of course but I still had the niggling sensation at the back of my mind that he was someone I was familiar with.I saved the number to my phone. I was going to call him and schedule a meeting then he and I would talk about my revenge but in the meantime, I needed to fucking sleep.I closed my eyes, the grinning face of Damien enveloping my sub consciousness. The way he had called my name and the way he had touched me.I could still feel the flick on his tongue on my clit and the roughness of his palms as he squeezed my breasts.Get a fucking grip, Isabella. I chided myselfIt wasn’t enough that you had seduced the man and now you are thinking about sex with him.I drifted off into a restless sleep and was only woken up by the thrilling of my alarm.There was no way that I was going to skip work all because Robert thought it was sensible and right to cheat on me on my birthday with my boss and bestfriend.I was going to go to work and wear a smile on my face, they could suck it for all I care.The moment my red bottoms came out of the elevator, all of my confidence vanished.Camila was standing with her hands intertwined in front of her office, her face all scrunched up as she looked intently at me."My office, now!" She bellowed at me and I found myself running into her office despite what had happened.The door hadn't latched yet when a heavy thud sounded from where Camila had moved to.I turned around and found that she had dropped a pile of files on her desk."What the fuck are those Isabella?" She questioned and I stared from the files to her.I was equally confused."I don't understand Camila" I replied and she placed one hand on her hip while the other one outstretched towards the files."It's madame Camila, you should know your place and why are you standing all the way over there? Stand in front of me when I'm speaking to you" she harshly said.I was too stunned to look for a reply, my legs moved on their own accord as though I enjoyed being spoken this way, I was the one that had been slapped across the cheek but guess who was still being treated like trash?"Yes, ma'am" I replied and stood in front of her, my fingers latched into one another."So, you proposely left those files unchecked even when I deliberately told you to make sure all of the files were well taken of and each director was scheduled for a meeting today" she queried and I still looked on in confusion.My brain racked across all of the information it had gathered since our last encounter and I swore to God that she had said nothing of that sort."I'm sorry if I misheard your instructions, let me just take a look and —"You're fired. Clear your desk"IsabellaMy eyes widened and my chest cringed."What?" I asked, my hands that had been outstretched towards the files laying on the desk lifeless, still outstretched."You heard me. I have a thing against weak links and you Isabella, are the weakest link in this company" she said and my left eye twitched." You never asked me to do anything like this, if you mentioned it I would have done it" I tried to explain but she say down abruptly with a frown on her face "I don't know what you want me to say Isabella, clear your desk and leave the premises" she said and my palms grew fists." Is this really about the files or you don't want to continue seeing the face of Robert's original girlfriend so you don't feel like a little slut and boyfriend snatched? " I asked and her head whipped up to look at me dead in the eyes.I had placed it in my mind that nothing was going to stop me from showing my face at work but since Camila was going low, I was going to go lower."You have a lot of nerve
IsabellaMy phone beeped on the dressing table and a message came in. It was him. I was to meet him in two hours, chills went up my spine as I thought of him. His beautiful eyes, the construction of his face, and the way his hands touched me last night.Snap out of it Isabella! I cautioned myself mentally.He was no more than a stranger. I shouldn't let what happened repeat itself. I grabbed my phone from the dressing table before I went to search for a decent and suitable outfit to meet Damien.After what seemed like forever, I ended up with a black velvet dress. It decently covered the upper part of my body, but showed no mercy to my figure. It traced out every line and curve of my body not to talk of the dangerous slit that laid on my thighs.I fixed my face and brushed my hair. I let my hair fall on my shoulders. I wore a simple block heel. I grabbed my bag and my card before I checked myself one last time in the mirror and left. The cab stopped outside the hotel instead of the ga
Isabella"I can't do this," I said.It was a bloody lie and he knew that.But still, it didn't feel right. I just left my fiance and in less than three hours I had sex with someone else.I could feel his piercing stare above me as I got lost in thoughts for a few seconds.Did it matter?Robert had been having sex with her even when we were together. A new formed anger boiled from within my core and I pulled Damien closer."Forget what I just said," I heard myself say and the cutest smile appeared on his face. Like a child who was handed candy.His hands grabbed my ass and he lifted me unto himself. I circled my legs around his waist and my breast pressed on his face.Damien placed me on the bed , "Help me with my clothes," He requested and I obeyed immediately.I fiddled with his buttons and I managed to remove his shirt. My hands fell on his belt and he stopped me."Wait," He said before he moved behind me. I felt his body heat behind me and my senses tingled happily."Now come," H
IsabellaMy eyes fluttered open and I stared at the ceilings.I had an interview and I was putting all my hopes on this because it was a low qualification.I moved to the bathroom and I had the warmest bath I could ever get in a millennium.I walked past my full mirror and I was horrified by the red bite marks across my body.That just served me right for having sex a day before my interview. I had to find something covered, professional, and classy to wear.I searched my wardrobe and I found a suitable outfit. It was a gift from Fiona. It was a tailored nude pan trousers and a jacket. It even came with its white innerwear. She told me it was made by her favorite designer.Once I'm done with it, I'll burn it to ashes.I let my hair fall to my shoulders, luckily I knew a few makeup tips. I highlighted my face a little, I grabbed my bag from the table, my phone was already inside.I gently locked the door behind me as my ride came after some minutes.It took approximately half an hour t
IsabellaI was working here now, I looked around in astonishment. It felt too good to be true. I wanted to start immediately!Poor guy, he got fired. Maybe the boss heard about it. But how did Damien do it? I felt no sense of pity for him. He deserved it, maybe I wasn't his first victim.I remembered I was supposed to be packing."Is it okay if I start tomorrow, Mr.?" I asked"Billy, please call me Billy," He said, "You can start anytime you want, but do take a rest for today," He said."Okay, Thank you," I replied with a smile."The company's car will take you home," He said before he rushed out of the office."My address?" I called but he was already far away. Maybe he still had the soft copy of my CV.I traced my fingers on the marble table as different thoughts found their way around in my head.How did Damien manage to do all this?I reached for my phone inside my bag and the door opened."The driver is waiting," Billy said and I returned my phone in my bag.I checked the time o
Isabella"Hi," I waved awkwardly at both of them. The woman and Damien walked towards her."Isabella, this is my very good friend Mia from school and your wedding planner," He introduced.The jealousy I felt earlier has dissolved.His eyes scanned my entire outfit, taking in my image before he looked away."But I have to admit, you are really beautiful," She complimented as she moved closer and I smiled."I froze from shock when Damien called and told me he was getting married," She confessed."Please Isabella, don't mind her rambling," He dismissed and she chuckled."Please let's go, have a seat beside me, we need to discuss the wedding arrangements," she said and I followed her.She held a brown paper bag, she poured the contents of the bag on the table. I peeked at the papers, they were just wedding plans."This is the first one," She showed me.It was green and gold with minimum decorations and little lights.The decoration was beautiful, but it was too simple for me to use."It
ISABELLA"You do," He replied with no expression across his face.I knew he was familiar, but I just didn't know where I had seen him before. Maybe in Camilla's office? Was he perhaps a shareholder?"We met in a club, we had a little session and now we are getting married, that's how you know me," He replied and a frown grew on my face. I looked outside at the houses we passed. We still weren't out of the estate.I wanted to decorate his cheeks with my palm! He just had to take everything lightly!But I couldn't do that, what if he was a mafia? I still have no idea where his source of income is from. I had two guesses, either he was manipulating his boss to do this or he was probably in the mafia.Yes, that could be the only explanation. I threw a glance at him and his dominant eyes were staring back at me. My voice got stuck in my throat but I never broke away. He had to do it first, I couldn't surrender. His warm palms came to my face and my breath hitched.Look away! Isabella, wh
ISABELLAI stood stunned as the slap resonated around the house. For the first time in my life, my mother hit me.Damien tried to move forth but I stopped him. It was a reflex reaction. There had to be a reason for this slap. My mother would never slap me."I am sorry," She apologized with remorse across her face."I couldn't control myself, I'm terribly sorry," She apologized at the brink of tears.I moved towards her and wrapped my hands around her." I understand, it is okay, can we get in? Let's talk?" I requested and she nodded before she gave way.She threw a blank stare at Damien before she walked away. I didn't blame her for this reaction, if my child came to me with a strange man I would also slap her face.I watched from across the chair and I could feel Damien's stare beside me. I looked up at her. She looked beautiful in the yellow dress she had on. She let her grey and black hair fall over her shoulders."Mom, like I said earlier. This is my fiancee, Damien," I introduced
