Ivan woke up this morning feeling normal. He was excited to see his kids for the last time before he moved, but he couldn't sleep properly, and now he had a huge headache. He felt like something was wrong, and he would find out when he got to California. He would visit his doctor there to understand what was happening to him.

Yesterday, his panic attacks occurred three times. It was the first time it happened that frequently. Elijah threatened to call Isabelle and inform her, so Ivan had to beg him not to. Yesterday, all he could think about was how it would feel to leave her alone. It didn't feel good; he would always protect her, though. That was what mattered most to him.

He always made sure that guards were around the house. The thought of not having access to her the way he used to was what triggered those attacks. He took one of her scarves from the house the other day, and it was the only thing that stopped the attacks all three times.

He was sick.

He was obsessed.

He was addic

    Isabel looked at herself one more time in the mirror before she started making her way out of the house. She could not believe that Ivan had sent her a dress. When the delivery came in, she was shocked to see a red gown with an open back. It put a smile on her face.Because she wasn't expecting it, the gown made her feel so good and it reminded her of Ivan even more. After hearing from Chelsea about Ivan's panic attacks, she had not been able to rest. The fact that he was leaving was another thing that she didn't like, so she had already made her decision.She was going to tell him when she saw him today and just hoped he agreed.

    Both of them sat there, watching their children play, and they would laugh once in a while at how silly the kids were being. Isabelle was trying hard not to give in to the temptation of going to sit in his lap and kiss him passionately. She noticed every move he made, from the way he licked his lips to how he ran his hand through his hair. It was all incredibly sexy to her.He still had his glasses on, sitting on his beautiful nose. She missed seeing his eyes and wanted to gaze into them."Must have had a rough night," she tried to start a conversation."Yeah, a couple of rough nights.""Sorry about that.""Nah, it's cool. I've gotten used to it to a certain point," he replied."I want to see your face," she blurted out without thinking.She had wanted to say it for a while, so she might as well be honest now."You're seeing it?""I mean, your eyes.""Oh." He slowly removed his glasses, and his intense eyes met mine. I had missed the way he looked at me so much. He didn't take his eye

    Ivan didn't know what to do; he just stared at the woman whom he had wronged so much. She was sitting across from him, and he could have just told her to come back to his lap, but he had messed up, and he didn't have the right to do that again. When she had sat down on his lap earlier, he had wanted to keep her there forever. A lot had happened within those few minutes; he was turned on, and she felt it.She always felt it. She even wiggled around a bit, and he couldn't even hold her waist down. Now he was hard as ever in the presence of his children, and he couldn't stand up. He was wearing sweatpants, and the material was not thick at all, which meant it could expose how hard he was. He kept looking at her lips, the way she smiled, and every time something entered, he wished it was his cock that made him harder.Her cleavage was on display for him and him alone. Thankfully, no other man was here, not that if they were, he would do something about it. He had lost the right to do that

They got relieved when they were told that they could come visiting every weekend. That made them happy.Isabel didn't understand what happened to Ivan earlier. She could tell that he was turned on, but she didn't understand why he left abruptly just like that, though he came back with a new pair of trousers which was not suspicious at all. She was just happy that her plan was finally in motion.She would be able to go back to work starting Monday."I'll be expecting the papers tomorrow," Ivan told her as they both walked towards the car."Yeah, I'll call my lawyer to make sure it gets delivered tomorrow," Isabel told him, and he nodded his head.Though Isabel didn't have any intention of sending divorce papers, she had not contacted her lawyer yet. She wasn't going to contact him at all."So I'll

    Ivan tried as much as possible to not be in the same space as her. They were already on the plane, taking off for California. Before they left, he wanted to see his children so bad, but he didn't want them to start crying. By the look on Isabel's face, you could tell that she had cried. Her eyes were swollen, and she kept sniffing.Though she was alright now, the ride to the airport was not. Ivan was not very good at making sure that people were okay, so he didn't know what to do. Elijah sat in the far corner of the plane with Rachel, while Isabel and he were not far from each other. He could feel the heat of her body; he could feel everything, but he just decided to control himself. His friends were here.He looked at his hands. His wedding ring was still on it. He could not find it within himself to remove it. He was expecting the divorce papers yesterday, but nothing came. When he asked her about it, she said it was being delayed by her lawyer. According to him, this week was his d

    Isabel was relieved that they had finally landed in California; the plane was starting to feel too cramped for her. Being in such close quarters with Ivan was challenging for her. Although the space wasn't exactly cramped, it still wasn't big enough for her to have some distance from him. She was tired from the journey and hadn't been able to sleep. Instead, she had been engrossed in reading her novel.She was already dreading how bored she would be in California, but thankfully Rachel saved the day by offering to accompany her to the penthouse and stay for a few days. Isabel was happy to have her friend with her; she preferred not to be alone because she tended to make impulsive decisions that she later regretted. Having her friends around allowed her to bounce ideas off of them and get their advice before acting.Both Isabel and Rachel were in the car on their way to the penthouse, while Elijah and Ivan had said their goodbyes earlier."I'm so tired," Isabel groaned as she yawned."

    Today was the day.Isabel looked in the mirror. Today was her first day at work after giving birth to her children. A lot of people would be surprised that she came back to work, but she didn't mind.The ladies who didn't like her before would definitely stir up some trouble, but she didn't mind because she knew what she was doing and why she was doing it.Normally, she would not bother about coming back here or anything like that, but because of the panic attacks that Ivan was having, she needed to be near him at all times.She was annoyed with him, but she didn't want him to die anytime soon. He still had a lot of things to do for her, with her, and for her children.The clothes she was going to wear were already spread on the bed. She looked at her body. She woke up around 6 because she was nervous about work. She took her bath and now she was in her lingerie.Almost everything reminded her of him, like the way he liked this particular lingerie that she was wearing. The way he wou

    "Are you sure that you're ready for this?" Rachel asked.Both of them were inside the car, they had just arrived at Sohi, Ivan's company, where Isabel was supposed to work."Give me a minute.""Come on, you have all the time in the world," Rachel told her sarcastically.Isabel practiced her breathing exercises, then opened her eyes."I think I'm panicking," she told Rachel, who just laughed."Why are you panicking? You're the boss's wife, they should be the ones panicking, really," Rachel told her."It's just been a really long time, you know," Isabel told Rachel as she looked up at the very tall building."I know, I know. That's why you have to behave like the boss bitch here because technically you are. So, you're going to practice your breathing exercises again, open your eyes, take a deep breath, and then we will step out of this car in style and step into the building in style," Rachel told her, and she nodded and followed her instructions. When she was done, she opened her eyes

    After they finally found a dress that they would wear for the ball, they sent all the designers packing, and the house seemed empty. Isabel and Rachel were both immensely tired.“I'm stressed; I need to go to a spa.”“Well, you can add that to the list of what we have to do tomorrow,” Rachel told her, and she nodded.“I really do not like being stressed out. It messes with my brain,” Isabel complained.“I wonder how your husband is coping. To be very honest, you're lazy. You can't even do any hard work for like three hours straight.”“Now, why would I want to do hard work for three hours? I was not made for stress; it's why I have my very loving husband that understands me,” Isabel said, and Rachel laughed.“Well, that's good because if your husband was not Ivan, I wonder what you'd have shown him. The people around you need to be very patient people,” Rachel told her, and she nodded.“That's why I have you, Chelsea, Elijah, and Richard. You all love me so much that it's suffocating,”

That's how you'd have forgotten about it. It's important, you know,” Rachel told her.“I'm sorry, I've just been so stressed out, and now you're putting me through a hardcore workout,” she told him.“You need these every morning, you know, so you'll have a clear mind,” Rachel told her.“Clear mind how? I'm so stressed right now, and I can barely think, so please, there's no way I'm having a clear mind with this torture,” she groaned, and Rachel just laughed.“Now come on, it's important to keep fit. Go and take your bath,” Rachel told her, and she nodded.“You don't even have to tell me twice. Can't we just tell the designers to come here?”“Well, my house is too cramped up, right?”“My house?

    “I've done a number on him,” Isabel muttered as she plopped down onto Rachel's bed.“Why do you say that?” Rachel asked as she removed her makeup.“He's now acting like a baby around me, like he's scared what might happen if he does some certain things with me. Ivan used to be so confident; he asked if he could hold me earlier after the panic attack,” she told her, and be nodded.“I understand that bit; you just need to be there for him. He needs you this time; make sure you don't let anything happen to him. It's the time to be there for him,” she told her, and Isabel nodded.“I know, I know. I just hope he gets better soon. The panic attack was so deadly to watch; I've never seen him have one. The way he clawed at his throat, Rachel, I don't think I want to see that again. It seemed like he wanted to die, and it drove me insane. I can't bear to see him die, you know,” Isabel told her, and she nodded.“I understand; don't worry. You guys have each other, and you're strong together, so

    “Where the heck have you been, Isabel?” Elijah screamed at her on her way back to the office. Everybody stared at them due to how loud his voice was.“Don't you ever shout at me like that again,” Isabel warned him, and he still looked panicked.“I'm sorry, but everybody has been looking for you.”“Why? I was in Rachel's office; you know that's where I go most of the time.”“Darn it, it's Ivan,” Elijah said as they both got into the elevator.“What's wrong with him?” She asked hurriedly.“He's having those panic attacks again; it's worse this time around. I'm not comfortable leaving him but I was about to go to the announcement room and call your names through the speakers,” Elijah told her, and her own heart dropped.Why was he having these panic attacks? The elevator was not going fast enough; she kept staring at the numbers. She was burning inside, and when the elevator finally opened, she ran out. The people on the floor looked at her, but she didn't care.The man she loved was in

  • CHAPTER 284: Office Talks

    The moment Rachel got to the office, she was greeted by different people, and they complimented her dress. She smiled and felt happy; she liked dressing nicely and being complimented by people. It made her feel good. She quickly made her way to her office to start her work for the day. She had a lot of things to do, and because she didn't come to work yesterday, she knew she had to catch up on a lot of things today.She remembered her night with Dante and smiled as she entered her office. Maybe things were finally starting to be okay for her and Dante. Maybe they could do this after all, but she still didn't know what would happen. She knew that his father was so against the idea, so even if her own parents agreed, she wasn't sure his own father would allow it. She didn't know what to do, and she didn't want to think about it, so she resumed work immediately. She needed to catch up on things. They had a meeting tomorrow where she would have to give her briefing, so she wanted everythi

    She opened her eyes but quickly closed them again. She didn't want to leave the bed; it was too comfortable for her. So, she closed her eyes, intending to go back to sleep. She didn't want to think about anything; she just wanted to continue being in the arms of the man she loved. She burrowed into his arms, but it felt empty. She immediately opened her eyes and looked beside her, only to find an empty space."Dante?" she called out, met with eerie silence. She sighed in disappointment, realizing that he was gone. She had expected him to still be there, and perhaps they could have talked some more. But she kept forgetting that he was a busy man and didn't always have time for what she wanted to do. Although she knew that if she told him she wanted him to stay, he would do so without hesitation, without thinking twice. And she loved him for that.She finally admitted to herself that she was in love with him. She thought as she plopped back down on the bed. She should probably have toda

    After her conversation with her mom, she plopped down on the bed, contemplating her life and what to do next. She had achieved a lot at her age, and living in a cramped house was simply her choice. She could have easily afforded a penthouse for herself, given her hard work and the trust fund that would set her up for life. However, she wasn't lazy; she wanted to work hard and establish a trust fund for her future children as well. She had already started planning and saving for the children she would have, and the amount of money involved was not insignificant. She had clear goals that she wanted to achieve. For now, she knew that she simply wanted children. She didn't desire much more, just like her parents. Whether they came as twins or individually, she wanted kids. As for a husband, she couldn't envision herself with anyone other than Dante. She thought about it constantly, and he was the only person she could imagine being with. It was a strange feeling, but she just knew it. You

    “Mom, come on, tell me. I'm itching to hear about her,” Rachel urged her mother.“Andrea, I don't want to spill your brother's secrets,” she told her, and she pouted.“But he knows all of mine,” she told her, and her mother glared at her.“Mommy.” She gave her that look that she couldn't resist.“Okay, okay.”“Thanks, mommy.”“I'll tell you, but you don't get to use it against him or I'll kill you personally,” her mother told her, and she knew that she took that threat seriously.“So, after you left, you know how your father changes maids in the house every year, except Nora?”“Yes.”“Serena came in as the next batch of maid for the year. It was only supposed to be a year actually. She was assigned to Andre, your brother's chambers. You know the typical boss falls for the maid, whatever. That was exactly what happened, but Serena didn't like him then. She gave him a hard time and she really messed with your brother's mind. He almost went crazy.
