LOGINThere was a long silence that followed and Rian felt Isabella wanted to get off him and he let her go. She turned towards the door and Rian asked “Worried that someone would come in and see us together?” “Yes. This is a hospital and I worked here too, remember” she explained. Not just working there, she was rumoured to be behind the scandal back then. Now coming in and seeing her engrossed with the boss this way is wrong. “Yeah” Rian responded and took a remote and locked the door automatically. Then he turned back to Isabella and said “you're relieved now?” and she nodded. He got out of bed and poured himself a glass of water. He asked, “do you care?” And Isabella said no. He went to the toilet and soon returned. “I should be going home today. I feel suffocated being in a spot for too long” “What happened to you?” Isabella asked. She still hasn't known what brought him to the hospital. He looked perfectly alright, well dressed and smelled nice. What happened to
Isabella closed the novel and glanced at him. He was looking perfectly well. Is this dude really a patient or he was just having a nap in his lounge. She forced a smile and stood up. He asked her what she was doing there. “Hello Dr Rian..” Isabella said and trailed off. They've really not had a proper discussion before between them. Now, being alone with him in a room, she felt everything awkward and she felt flushed and embarrassed. “How're you doing? Sit down” he requested. He couldn't believe his eyes, was he dreaming? He felt a presence in his room and opened his eyes. But what he wasn't expecting was seeing the woman he loved seated on the chair next to the bed and engrossed in a book. He'd stayed still for a while to be sure if he really was seeing her or he was day dreaming. He'd been so obsessed with her lately that he initially thought his mind was playing pranks on him. “I'm fine. Hmmmmm…Rodrigo told me you're in the hospital so I stopped by to ch
Aiden was taken aback. He didn't expect that Amanda would also be throwing him out. He stared at her, her gaze was firm, and he could see that her decision was also unshakable. “I took this decision because of us. You can't make me feel alone in times like this. Only you matters to me now and that's why…” he was saying when Amanda interrupted him. “That's why what? How can you take such a foolish decision and tell me you did it for us? If you had called me and told me your decision, I would have persuaded you against it. But no, you went ahead and did what you wanted to do. I am not a part of your decision. And you didn't do it because of me. Go home and apologise to your family. Wait for them to be able to accept us but in the meantime, we keep our relationship from their glare. Is that okay” she insisted. Aiden glared at her. Her words hurt him more than what his mother said the previous evening. She's invariably calling him a fool for taking the decision
Isabella knocked on Aiden's room and he soon opened the door. Seeing it was Isabella, he turned and left her at the doorway. She walked in briskly and shut the door behind her. She saw Aiden's face was a mask, he wasn't happy. He appeared enraged. “I knew there would be such a confrontational refusal from our parents. But what I didn't expect is the two options laid out before you” she declared and laid on the bed as if it was her room. “I don't care about the bullshit options mum laid out. I will do what I want to do and no one can stop me. No one can separate me from Amanda, not in this lifetime again” Aiden seethed. Whatever his mum wants to do, fine, he's okay with it. As for dad, he can't trust him at this point. He'd failed him with his response earlier. “Even if it means being disowned by your mother” Isabella added, not a question but more like adding chilli to an already purifying sore. “Yeah, if it means so, fine. I don't care if every m
Aiden's eyes were red and fierce. What exactly does his family want for him the most, his happiness or their pride? He had the right to be with whoever he chooses to be with and he had chosen Amanda Williams and if he was given another chance in another lifetime, he would choose her over and over again. “You're right Aiden. I can't stop you. Your father and I have nothing to do about it. Your siblings can as well, watch as spectators at their elder brother making a fatal decision that might lead him to an irrevocable end. But I won't stand and watch you. I'd rather turn my back and not see what you're doing with your life. You have a choice to make or be with the woman you claimed to love and love you too. It's fine. And I want you to know, that the choice of being with her, makes you cease to be my son. I'll withdraw Graham's name from you and you will be disowned from being a member of this family. You will no longer be a son in this family as long as you chose tha
Two days later, the news reached Isabella that Ms Kamala was no more. She died in her sleep. Isabella was sad and went down to claim her remains. She's never had any known relatives and she had to prepare for her funeral. Her family was by her side and her colleagues at the X-city hospital supported her. She erected a moaning hall for her and as the guests came, a certain person came, attended her funeral. She looked haggard and unkept. And as soon as she saw Isabella she shivered and her knees wobbled. It was Jane Green, Isabella's cruel step mother. When she heard that Ms Kamala was dead and a mourning hall was being erected for her, she'd thought she would come and pay her a last respect but didn't expect that she would run into Isabella Green. The two women glared at each other. Jane was oozing out a stench of alcohol and drugs. She looks thin and her hair roughened and her clothes were dirty. She'd become a drug addict and she cannot help it. She was init
“It's nice working with Rian dear. You're going to have a great time there, especially since you were there before” Everlyn chimed, stretching her hand and taking Isabella's. She just wants her daughter to be happy, that's all. “Thank you, Rian,” Dustan appreciated. “You're welcome uncle
The excitement went on until they heard a car honk announcing the arrival of Ivara and her kids. Aiden was already seated at a corner with his friend discussing a certain business opportunity that just popped up on his desk that morning. He will be buying the company and asked if Rian would be
On the drive back to the hospital, Rodrigo's mind was on what Isabella told him last. She's Aiden's Graham's sister, the only sister amongst the three brothers. How unpredictable. Aiden and Rian are best friends, if he heard correctly, from childhood. He's sure he hadn't known who Aiden'
She sighed softly. She knew something might be rolling up the old man's sleeve. Otherwise, how can he willingly agree to help her Papa without a string attached. “He said he wants to marry a young, beautiful virgin in exchange. He would make her happy and give his entire property to her…”Jane
