A Deal With The Devil

Chapter 18

I year later....

Isabella woke up from bed with Simon. Naked. Last night's events were tiring. They just made an earth-shaking love. To say that it was tiring were understatement. Way back when it was their first week of being a couple, she was sore for days and found it hard to walk.

Their wedding wasn't luxurious. At all. They have no guest, no reception, no ceremony, not even a gown. Just they're beautiful wedding rings. The too much simple wedding was planned by Simon. He don't want it to be grand. He don't want any paparazzies to feast their wedding.

He was never interested in the wedding. He never want to get married. He find it humiliating especially that he was the second one to get married in his colleagues. All this wedding is because of his inheritance.

Isabella knew that Simon love her for sure but he don't express his love because of his pride. She knew deep inside him. For the past six months she tried to be a good wife. She supported Simon in decision making even if she's not favor with it. She always cook for him breakfast and dinner then bring him some lunch in his office, she never argued with him and endured his mistreatment because she knew that her loving heart is to be rewarded.

She immediately cooked some eggs, four strips of bacon and a pile of pancakes oozing with maple syrup and his espresso of course. Espresso was his favourite already.

The door banged and saw Simon with his business suit. Her eyes drool with his feature. To say he's gorgeous is an understatement.

"Hi hon time for breakfast." She chriped with a sweet smile and led Simon to the counter and sat with a tall stool.

She served him his breakfast and his coffee too with a heart design on it.

"How was it?" She asked excitedly. She waited for his compliment in her cooking. Which unfortunately, she never noticed that she never received any.

"How was it Hon?" She asked again.

He dropped his coffee?

"Is their any day that I can have a rest on your talkative mouth?" He growled.

"Sorry...." she looked down guiltily. Is she really annoying?

After that, he stormed out of the house with and went his car.

........

"Hi Jessa! Is Simon in his office?"

The secretary stuttered. "Yes Mrs. Ross." Jessa smiled. They became friend when Simon and Isabella were married because Isabella would visit Simon everyday in his office. It was Isabella's everyday routine.

She picked picked a coffee from the coffee holder and gave one to Simon's secretary. "For you. I know work is so tiring."

Jessa smiled. "Thanks." As she sipped the coffee. "By the way, Mr. Ross just closed a big major business deal with the Russian investors. Many companies work hard to seal that deal but Mr. Ross closed it with the first try." The Secretary informed.

"Wow that was amazing!" She chirped and bade her goodbye to his secretary.

Isabella instantly headed and opened the door to Simon's office.

"Hi hon! Brought you some lunch." She chirped and placed a Tupperware in his desk with a perfectly made lasagna and some muffins together with his favorite coffee which was bought in the Starbucks.

He was busy signing some documents and some important calls after an some hours of his tiring work, Isabella just came in with the lunch. His stomach was gurgling with anticipation of the food. He was always expecting Isabella to arrive at noon bringing a very delicious snack.

"By the way. Please tell me about the Russian investors. How did you make it?" She asked excitedly like a toddler waiting to be told a story.

"It was nothing."

"Please?"

"Why are you so annoying? Can you just do something with your life than interrupting my business?!" He snapped at her.

Her face lighten and coated with guilt and hurt.

"Im sorry I think I should go."

"Finally." He said......

"Can I kiss you goodbye? I haven't kissed you this morning?" She said weakly.

"No."

She sighed in upset.

"Okay." She then added. "Love you." She said and walked out of the door.

Maybe he is just a little bit tired. She thought.

.......

It's been 12am and Simon didn't even arrived. Her inside is growing worried.

She heard a honk outside the house and it was indeed Simon's car. She was instantly excited and immediately put her robe on.

She opened the door and her eyes widen in shock. She froze on her place.

Elladiah Wechsler.

Simon and Elladiah together.

"Simon...." she whispered as her tears threatening to spill in her eyes.

Elladiah threw her a triumphant smirk.

"Isabella! Nice to see you again." Elladiah said with an as-if-happy-to-see-you-again tone.

Simon there stood with a serious face with his hands holding Ella's butt.

"Thanks for accompanying my husband Ms. Wechsler." She said with a very professional tone.

"Hon I miss you." She tried to hug Simon but he pushed her away.

"Get off."

"Come on hon it's freezing outside."

"Too much wife acts huh?" Elladiah spoke rudely.
"Excuse me?" Isabella spoke.

"Elladiah go away for now."

"What?" Elladiah asked with high tone. "You told me we--" Simon cutted her off.

"Not now Elladiah. I'll just tell my chauffeur to take you home."

The moment the door closed. Isabella's threatened tears finally streamed down.

"Am I lacking something?" She asked the time they were at their room.

He didnt replied and continue to dress into pajamas.

"Simon please tell me..... All I really wantedis your love." She sobbed. "Have you ever loved me?"

He was silent for awhile.

"No." He finally spoke.

"You're just an embarrassment! And not to mention you're a gold digger, selfish, and disrespectful bitch!"

"I want a divorce."
