Chapter 52

Isabella's pov;

"Good morning."

I saw Mr Martinez holding a tray having my morning breakfast in it while I was drying my hair after taking a bath.

He placed the tray on the table and said, "Give me that, I'll dry your hair. You eat breakfast."

I sat and started eating breakfast while he was drying my hair. While I was eating, I asked him, "Don't you go to work?"

"I am. But finish everything and return quickly to the house."

"Did Ethan come back?"

"No, he never did once. Olivia found out that he's in the UK after a while and asked him to return but he refused to come back. I heard that he got married a year back."

"Olivia? His mother?"

"Yes."

The atmosphere became awkward around us.

I finished my breakfast and said, "You can sell my house for the remaining money. One of the loan sharks said that my house is in the junction that it'll be a better place when they use it for their goods. I think it'll be some good money. So sell it and take the money in compensation for the money I used for my mom's surgery."

"I gave her money back to her and  Max's money back to him too."

"Why did you do that?"

"Because you're going to be with me forever so I have to settle all the debts, right?" And left the room.

What does he mean by staying with him forever?

While I was sleeping, I heard someone knocking on the door. I looked at the time and it's 2 pm. I already ate breakfast and more to that, Mr Martinez has a key to this room then why is he knocking on the door?

I walked over to the door and said, "Mr Martinez."

I heard back, "No, it's me. Noah Johnson, Big brother."

"Big brother? How are you…"

"No time for that. Pick up the key I dropped under the door and open the door."

A key? I looked down and saw a key. I picked up the key and opened the door using it. The door opened.

He grabbed my hands and pulled me out of the room and said, "Come on, leave quickly before he comes."

"Where?"

"Somewhere than here. Come on." He looked at me and asked, "What are you doing? Why are you standing still? Leave before he comes."

"Where should I go? Do you think I have a place to go? Even though I was trapped here, I feel like I'm being around the people I know. But if i step out of this house, i don't have anywhere to go. I don't have anyone to speak to. I lost everything, big brother."

I removed his hands from mine and gave the key to him and continued, "I don't think I have a place to go. Thank you for trying to help me, big brother." And stepped back into the room and closed the doors.

I walked to the balcony and saw the garden through a peephole. The garden looked beautiful with all those colourful flowers being grown like a wreath. By looking at the garden, I remembered the things that happened there and smiled to myself. One day, Mr Martinez and I dumped the dried leaves into the pit. Another day, I trespassed when the guards didn't allow me inside this house.

I called Mr Martinez and said, "Can you bring me purple flowers from the garden when you bring me dinner?"

He said 'yes' and ended the call.
