My Broken Billionaire

Chapter 44: One More Chance

Nikolas POV

What the f*ck?! She's living with a male? When did this happen? By her mentioning a friend's house, I thought she meant a girl!

"You're living with a guy?!"

" Why are you shouting? He's my best friend, what is it to you?"

Her eyes pierce mine fiercely, if looks could kill, I would be dead within a second. She's right, who am I to object? I am not her boyfriend or anything.

"Of course, sorry...u-um...bye Isabella."

My voice wavering in guilt and disappointment, she does notice my hurt expression but she hastily turns back to her work to pretend that she didn't. I can't believe she is sleeping in the same house as a different male....especially her so-called 'best friend'. God knows what she's doing with him...Bells isn't like that though. I-I mean she wouldn't have moved on that quickly, that's too quick. Right?

Annabelle tutts annoyingly at Bells as she walks back to the counter. She's barely stable with this amount of money she is being paid, I wonder if she has to pay bills at her friend's house...then again, that's her friend, I don't think he would be that cruel to her. She's struggling in life, a few months ago she was receiving large amounts, but now she is hardly getting anything. I wish that Daniel could've stayed away from us...he is a pr*ck, the biggest one I've ever met. First he kills my mother right under my nose, and then he corrupts me in the media.

Watch what happens to that b*stard, he will get what's coming to him and I'm going to make sure of it.

Mr Perkins POV

" Oi! Don't leave so quickly. You two have a task to carry out and it better be done properly."

Daniel and Annabelle's footsteps freeze momentarily. Their heads turn around in unison, waiting for me to continue.

" Right, I don't care how you do this but I want this done. Good and proper. Just a warning."

" Okay, dad, as you wish!" Annabelle's heels clack annoyingly against the marble flooring as she walks out of the kitchen.

Isabella POV

It was so hard facing him earlier. I don't know how I was able to stand so confidently, it was the hardest obstacle I have ever had to face in life. Talking to Nikolas Taptiklis. And I don't understand why he was so angry about me living with a guy anyway. Seriously, it's not like I am still with him. He needs to stop trying to interfere in my life because the reason why Daniel did this media set-up was because he didn't want us together. For what reason, I don't know, but the fact is he didn't like our relationship and it looked ike he would do anything for us to break up.

That wasn't the only reason why I decided to break up with him. It was because we were moving too fast, you know? It was like most of our relationship was a blurry haze, like it was carried by the wind. I don't like that kind of relationship. I like a relationship that takes its time, and Nikolas wasn't giving that to me. Maybe it wasn't his fault, but our relationship was like that and I didn't like it. That's basically why we broke up, don't think I was being petty over that media bullshit, that wasn't the only reason.

The door bell snaps me out of my relentless train of thought. David is home.

" Hey, bestie. You came home early today," David comments with a questioning tone.

" Oh, my boss was in a good mood so she let me off early."

" Great, more time for us to hang out! Where do you wanna go, the mall? Want some Chinese? "
