Isabella
"Gabe, I'm sorry...." I cried into his arms while he hugged me willingly even with my big mistake he still understands. He never loathed me even my guilt is more bothering than his reaction.
"Sweetcheeks stop crying it's not your fault. You were drunk and he took advantage of you."
"But I feel like cheating."
"No babe you didn't mean it do you?"
"Are you angry?"
He was silent.
It took him awhile to answer.
"No."
I know he was lying.
"It was Simon's fault not yours."
"But promise me you won't drink without me."
"I promise."
...........
The next day....
"Marg kindly cancel my appointment with Mr. Holton and move it tomorrow. I don't feel really good today." I said and gulped my water. I had several pain killers from my non stop headaches.
"It's been a week since you had that. Would you like to see a doctor."
"No I'm fine. I just need some rest. That's all I guess."
"Okay I'll inform Mr. Holton."
I went to my condo unit immediately. I then laid on her bed and drank pain reliever...

Simon strode into Isabella's building with extraordinary confidence rode with him as he walk towards. Everyone was amused. The manly feature of this man was irresistibly attractive.
So addictive. Every woman will die to have.
He arrogantly stepped in the Boss' elevator then pulling his suit to fix as he breathed in.
He stopped at Isabella's office where he located her secreaty.
"Ms. Andromeda."
Her secretary already.
"Mr. Ross." She said professionaly as shetried to conceal the shivers of fear splashed through her senses.
She knew he was dangerous. No one crosses him. According to Isabella. He can't take no for an offer. He will make a person's life living miserable.
"Where's Ms. Campbell?"
"He left early sir."
"Oh why?"
"She's not feeling well so she left early."
"What is her illness?"
"I don't know sir." She lied.
"Of course you do." He said. "You're such a loyal worker aren't you?" He chuckled. "But I want that loyalty divert to me. Not to her."
"I beg your pardon."
"You see. I would like to have a deal with you."
"No Sir. I am working for Ms. Campbell and I have no right to spread confidential information towards her."she tried to act professional. Isabella became her best friend. For sure Simon will do something against Isabella's will.
"I don't take no for an answer Ms. Andromeda. Think about this deal. It will lift your family from poverty. It will pay all your siblings college tuition fees and all other matriculation needed for your two siblings in college. Plus, your older brother needs to be in rehabilitation center as soon as possible. Your dad needs chemotherapy next month. Tell me, how will you pay that in your Secretary salary? And your bank loan needs to be paid cause interest is expanding."
Ms. Andromeda gasped. Just a mere mention of her family made her weak. How did he found out that?
"I don't ask you to be a traitor towards Isabella." He started. "I just need some of your knowledge towards her."
She sighed......
"Name your price Ms. Andromeda."
She was struggling. Tempted. He really knew what buttons to push.
"Deal?"
......
Isabella"I don't think that's just plain headache Is." Lily started. "That was a week already plus your nuisance. Consult a doctor you know."
I can't. I'm afraid of a possibility of something I hope not.
"Take this." She said and pull out a small rectangular box from her purse.
I looked at it.
A pregnacy test kit.
"I don't think so."
"There's no wrong in trying Is. What if you'll never acknowledge it then your drinking strong drugs thinking it's only a headache."
I stared at her.
"Are you on pills? Or you took an abstinence? You haven't been with Gabe lately?"
She doesn't know it yet.
"It was Simon." I confessed.
"What!?!?!" She yelled with her eyes so large. Making my headache worse. Something from my head spin and my head suddenly felt nauseous.
I groaned.
"Your back again? How bout Gabe?" She asked worriedly.
"No. Never in my life I will take him back. I was..... Drunk."
"If he's not Dylan's cousin, I would have killed him." She said while breathing heavily.
"Sis take a try sis.... it's better to know it better."
"You think so?" I asked.
I took the kit and made my way to the restroom. Leaving Lily in my room.
One Minute.....
Two minute....
Three minute.....
My countdown alarm rang indicating the test is predicted. I looked down at the kit.
My tears suddenly escaped....
"Not again." I sobbed........
I saw the kit with two red strips on it indicating it's positive.....
Not again....
Not Again....
........
Don't Forget to.
