All Chapters of Tainted Whispers: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

'Why didn't you tell us you were leaving? @Nessa,' Scarlett's text popped up on the screen as Innessa opened their group chat. Elena had also become part of their secret chamber chat group. 'Leaving? Where did you go?' Elena texted. 'I thought of spending the semester break with my relatives. I just left in a hurry. Sorry for not informing you guys,' Innessa texted them. She knew she had to leave the night Issac safely dropped her at the dormitory. She booked a ticket to Balford and left in the early morning. She also apologized to Jasper for her sudden leave, but he was kind and considerate, giving her the leaves she needed. Innessa couldn't stay there knowing Issac was hell-bent on forcing her to give him a chance. Though she knew she shouldn't have left like that after telling him she needed time, Innessa knew he would be all over her, not giving her space at all. Oftentimes, she felt like he was there watching her; the feeling always left her shuddering in unease. He was beh

Issac gently lay her down on the bed. She was unconscious. Her lips slightly parted as she took in shallow breaths. Her lashes and cheeks were still wet with her tears. Innessa looked pale. He gently covered her body with the sheets and wiped her tears before dropping a soft kiss on her temple. He never wanted to see her in this state, but she left him no choice. Issac pulled back as he walked to the windows and locked them properly before he stepped out of the room and locked the door behind him. He headed down the stairs, where one of Victor's men was already escorting the trembling priest out of there. Victor faced him with a slight frown on his forehead. Victor was always calm and cheerful around him, but at the moment, he seemed displeased. "What?" Issac asked, frowning at the look Victor was giving him. "This forced marriage wasn't needed," Victor said after a long pause, and Issac's jaw ticked. "And why do you think that?" "Didn't you see how she was trembling? I think

The next morning, she woke up alone in bed. There was a blanket draped over her, but she felt drained. The bed was still a bit warm, which meant Isaac was there just a couple of minutes ago.The girl had no energy to move. She lay there silently staring at nothingness. Her mind was blank last night, and even now it was blank to a certain point, but whatever happened the previous night began to rake her head, and she couldn't do anything to stop those memories and thoughts from roaming her mind.He punished her for trying to kill herself last night. Innessa didn't know why she ran into the water. She was very well aware that she couldn't swim, she was aware that what she was doing was immensely dangerous, and yet she was scared of Issac more than death.In that fleeting moment, she chose death because she was very well aware that she had hit him, the fear that Issac might raise his hand on her forced her to walk into the arms of death.The fact that the person she was more scared of de

"Hey, what's up with you both? Why do you guys look depressed as f*ck?" Scarlett asked both Darla and Innessa as the three of them were heading to the academy."I couldn't sleep because I was excited about the new semester," Darla said, but her voice didn't match her excitement, and Innessa remained quiet."Shall we go to the arcade for fun after classes tomorrow?" Scarlett suggested. Both of her friends looked off as if something was bothering them. She wanted to cheer them up."I'll go," Innessa said, and Darla also agreed to go with them."I'll ask Elena to join us," Innessa said, and Scarlett passed her an approving smile.Upon arriving at the academy, they headed to their respective departments.Innessa had three classes with Elena today, and she was glad she had her friend close by.Elena kept talking about her vacations and how she had so much fun with her cousins back in the town, while Innessa was completely zoned out. She hadn't seen Issac for the past three days, ever since

"What would you like to order, sir?" Innessa was taking orders from the tables as the couple gave their orders. She noted them down and ambled into the kitchen. Jasper bumped into her as he apologized, passing her a smile he hurried to his office as she got back to work. A week had passed and things were slowly falling into a routine for her. She has been living in that penthouse with Issac. The place was just so beautiful that living there felt like a dream. There was also a huge pool on the terrace of their room. Issac was behaving. He was giving her space. Not bothering her at all and he has been sleeping on the couch in the hall like a good guy. In the mornings she often found him exercising half-naked. Darla looked shocked when she found out Innessa had moved in with Issac. Elena was also a little surprised by the sudden news but Scarlett was happy about it. Her friends didn't say much but Darla didn't seem to like Innessa living with Issac. Oddly enough she even looked worried
