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

    The moment she stepped into Ivan's office, she felt his intense look on her immediately. It took a while before she could look up at him and give him a slight smile. She could just turn back right now and decide that she's not interested in working for him again because she had this weird feeling that things were about to get awkward for the both of them. She fully turned towards him, and he was just looking at her. Both of them stared at each other for a long, long time before somebody decided to talk.“You look beautiful, mama,” he told her, and she wanted to smile but she held herself back.“You can't call me that again; we are at work, and you lost the right to call me that,” Isabel told him.“I'm sorry, I shouldn't have. It's just that I'm used to calling you that already. I'll start calling you by your name,” he told her.Deep down, she felt disappointed because she was expecting him to actually say something along the lines of he can't call her any other name or even try to sti

    It's been two weeks since she resumed working for Ivan. She couldn't say she has been liking it, but at least she could keep an eye on Ivan. That was all she wanted to do, really—to keep an eye on him. But he hasn't been making it easy. The change in him has been prominent. It made her feel uncomfortable, but she has come to be able to live with it. There were moments where she would feel his longing gaze and moments where he would act like he didn't care. Those moments overshadowed the nice ones.She couldn't complain. Normally, she would tell him some things that she wanted and other things that she didn't, but Rachel has been the anchor stopping her from doing it. According to Rachel, she couldn't act like she cared. So she has at least succeeded in putting up that front. Though it killed her to do it, she didn't have any choice but to do it.The last time they talked about their divorce, Ivan asked her if the man was not yet back, and she had to lie to him that he was taking some

    Isabel and Rachel both sat at the table, both hungry and waiting for the cooks to bring their food, keeping each other company until the food arrived.“So, how has it been with your boss?” She asked Isabel.“It's just been normal, really. He never even looks at me twice. The only thing he does that makes me feel like he's still there is that he never uses my tummy to play. But he's always asking if I've eaten or if I should go and eat. But still, it's not the same,” she explained to Rachel, yawning. She was extremely tired.It could be because she has been working nonstop since she got back to the company. It wasn't good for her, but she needed to make sure that she was not slacking behind or anything like that.“Well, pity the man. I can't blame him. The person he loves the most is in front of him, and there's nothing he can do about it. Can you see how stressful that can be for him? He would want to touch you, but he won't be able to. Just give him time.”“Who said he should cheat o

    It was Thursday night already, and though Isabel was nervous about what she was about to do, she knew that she had to do it for the future of her family. At least if she found out that he didn't do it intentionally, then she would not have to think about it all the time and feel disappointed.“Bitch, are you sure you want to do this?” Rachel asked her as she lined her lips.“Yes, yes I am,” Isabel replied, and then they both clapped their hands.“Good.”Ever since that day at the office that Ivan came to defend her in the cafeteria, everybody feared her, and they always greeted her. Camille came to her the second day to thank her for not firing her, but she could still see the wicked glint in her eyes. She would never learn, but as long as she stayed in her lane, then they would not have any problems.It was like the kiss on the cheeks that Ivan gave her two days ago opened the oceans of hormones in her. She started feeling horny ever since then. She would reminisce a touch and how hi

    The both of them stared at the lady tied to the chair with a bag on her face. Isabel was nervous; she wasn't sure if she was doing the right thing, but at the same time, she had to. She looked at Rachel, who looked so relaxed. She looked like she was very comfortable while I looked like I have done something wrong. She looked at me and then smiled. Oh okay, my friend was a psychopath. How did I not realize that quickly?“Are you ready?” She asked me, and I looked at Lucy, who was mumbling but could not talk because there was a tape around her mouth.“Yes, I am,” Isabel told her, and then she nodded at the bulky men that were standing beside Lucy.Where did she get these men though? Isabel thought as they removed the bag from her mouth and then removed the tape too.“You bitch, by the time my people find me, you're going to be in a hell of a fix,” she screamed immediately the tape was removed from her mouth.“Oh, come on, calm down and don't panic. I'll let you go after a few questions

    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,”

    “I'm so stressed out. Let's quickly get today over with,” Isabel moaned as she sat down.“We have only just begun; have you forgotten that we are going to shop for the dresses that we will wear to the ball?” She asked her.“Oh, I totally forgot about that, darn.”“Good that you're here. 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

  • CHAPTER 285: Panic Attack

    “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

  • CHAPTER 282: The Meet

    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. Anytime they had an argument, he's alway

    It was the weekend again and Ivan and Isabel had to sleep in the same bed in the same house, their children were growing rapidly and their wits were also growing with them, those children were smart and they got it from their father probably. Isabel wasn't a nerd so she wasn't exactly smart all the way, but their father was everything so of course, they were smart.They just finished dinner now and Ivan and Isabel just tucked their children to sleep after singing for them. It felt nice to do all these once again, Ivan liked it and Isabel didn't want it to end actually. That was how he wanted things to continue to go, smooth.They were finally back in their room and they both laid down, they have never cuddled after everything that happened then.“Let's talk,” Isabel told him and he pulled his perfect eyebrows together.“About what?” He asked.“About us.”“Okay….” He said carefully not knowing when this will end, he had no idea what she wanted to talk about and it drove him crazy.
