The place had strong iron and not even the strongest man on earth would be able to tear it apart. She had to go through the front and if she was going to succeed, she needed a plan for it.Isabella wasn’t much of a liar, but when desperate times called for it, she needed to lie. “Guard!” she yelled and one of the guards rushed over to the dungeon, opened the door and stepped inside the cage. “What is the matter with you? Why did you shout like that?” Isabella chuckled for a moment, and licked her lips seductively at the guard, who raised his eyebrow in a questioning manner.“Has anyone told you how handsome you look?” Isabella said in a very low tone, hoping the guard would be able to fall for her trick.“Excuse me? Why are you sounding like this? Are you mentally okay?” The guard asked a few question a

He tried taking another path but he was interrupted by Isabella, who called out his name. “A word.” She said.Edwin sighed and begin taking steps closer to her. He stood a few distance away from her but Isabella breached the space between them.“I know that what I am about to say sound stupid but I have been restless for the past few days and it is because of the fact that I.” She stopped, looking away thinking through words that she was about to say.“You what?” Edwin asked.“I love you Edwin. I know we just met few days but words will fail me if I am to describe how I feel for you.”Edwin could not believe what he was hearing. No woman has ever expressed their feelings for him. Isabella was the first and although many men will want to jump into the opportunity but regardless he wasn’t like them. “I am sorry Isabella, we cannot work.” He replied politely.“But why?” She asked, t

Liam has proven time after time that he cannot be trusted. He wasted a whooping a million dollar on a club house. As a business man that is an abomination.” Edwin kept quiet because he knew that his uncle was right. He couldn’t help but wonder what Liam was even thinking wasting such huge money. “You are going to be handlng the affairs of the company. It is better to trust someone like yo

After dinner, Edwin and Max were given separate rooms but Edwin ends up in Max room discussing with him. “Did you see the way that woman was looking at you?” Max asked.“Yea, what happened to that?” “Dude, she loves you. I have never seen any woman want a man so badly like she does.” Max revealed.“Unfortunately, Liam the guy who tried to throw shades at me in the dinning table claims that she has been in three separate relationships in the past. I guess her desire for man is a natural trait.” Edwin replied with a shrug off his shoulder.Max stands up from the bed and walked towards the table picking up the glass of orange juice and gulping it all the way down. “You are still angry over what Valerie did to you.” He observed, carefully dropping the glass on the table.“Tell me who will not be angry. This woman brought pain to me. I thought we were going to make a perfect couple and get ourselves kids. I don’t think I can find myself loving another woman again.” Max sighed and walked
