(Isabella's house  -- picture)

Isabella's P.O.V

I woke up the next morning. I pushed sheets off my body. The furniture from the time my grand dad and grand mom used to live in this house was still there. 

I just have to redecorate and get rid of some stuff. I walked down to make a coffee for myself. Me and Sophia got some groceries that would be needed for some days.

 To buy the new things for it I had to get the money that my grand dad left for me and for my college fee as it has to submitted soon.

I dialed Sophia's number. She didn't pick it up. I dialed it again. It went straight to the voice mail. Tom. Should I call him?. I dialed his number anyway. He picks it up. "Hello? Isabella." He answers.

"Hi Tom, I was wondering if you knew any Lawyer" I asked him. "Lawyer? What for?" He questions. "My grand dad left money for me and I gotta transfer it to my account. I am pretty sure it requires some legal procedures so that's why" I explained it to him.

"Oh. Okay I'll bring over my lawyer to your house at 11" He replies. "No no." I quickly denied. My house is messed up. I still have arrange everything. "Isabella?" He asks. "Uh I didn't quite arranged my house yet the furniture and stuff, so I'll come to your house" I told him. 

"Okay then I'll pick you up at 10." He says. "But Tom-" he cuts me off. "No further discussion." He orders. I huffed. "Bye!" I chuckled. "Bye love." He says as he hung up. I shook my head and went to take shower and change into some decent clothes.

I looked at the clock. 9:30 am. My phone starts to ring. I looked at it, Sophia. "Yeah Soph" I answered. "Sorry wasn't able to take your call, busy setting up the restaurant and other stuff" She apologies and explains. "Its alright no biggie." I reassured her. 

"What happen? Why did you called me?" She asks. I explained her everything. "Its good that you called Tom." She says. What? I thought to myself.

"Yeah" I replied. "Okay let me know how it goes" She says. "Okay then bye." I said as I hung up the phone.

I saw Tom's car pulls up infront of my house. I took the will papers and walked outside locked the door walked to his car. "Got everything you need?" He questions. I nodded and we drove to his house.

"So your saying your step mother wants to kill you so that she can get the house and the money?" The lawyer, Jacob asks. "Yes" I simply replied. He looks at me in confusion all over his face.

"Can I have the will papers?" He asks. I took the will papers out of my bag and handed him that. He reads through it. I grin appears on his face. "Are there jokes written on it?" Tom asks folding his arms.

"Haha, no Tom. She was about to become a joke" He replies chuckling dryly. "What are you saying, say it clearly, please" I told him. "Did you ever read these will papers clearly?" He questions. I shook my head 'no'. "I just read the first 2 pages" I told him. Was I suppose to read the whole thing.? Of course I was, but because of Brenda I couldn't.

He moves forwards and points a area written on the papers. "Your grand dad and grand mum had a lot of property, not just the house and the money." He explains. 

"What?" I asked in confusion. I couldn't understand one word this man was saying. "Can you explain it, briefly?" I asked him . He nods. "You grand dad and mum just didn't had this house and the money, they had a mansion in north west London, a beach house in Miami, a farmhouse and the house your living in and your college money and as I can see there is three more fixed deposits in your name by your grand mum" He explain.

"Your grand dad was Frederick Clifford, Ms Isabella. One of the richest in city at that time". He tells me.

I went silent. I felt the whole room spinning. Jacob started to say something but I only saw his lips moving I couldn't hear anything and next thing, I fainted.

Tom's P.O.V

I saw Isabella went quite as soon as she herd what Jacob. Next moment she fainted. I quickly ran up to her. "Isabella? Isabella!" I said shaking her lightly slapping her cheek. She moved a little bit but didn't woke up. 

Shit!. I cursed under my breathe. I picked her up went to my room and laid on her the bed. Then I called the doctor.

"Don't worry, she is alright, was just overwhelmed, tell her not to take stress" The doctor. "Thanks Dr. Nelson" I thanked the doctor. "No problem" He says as he leaves. "Tom?" I herd a faint sound. 

I looked over to Isabella. I walked over to her and sat down beside her. "How are you feeling?" I asked her. "Fine, but what happened. .to me?" She asks her palm pressed on her forehead. "Well, the lawyer told you about the property you grandparents left you and then about your grand dad and then you fainted" I told her tilting my head folding my arms.

"So it wasn't a dream" She whispers to herself. "No it wasn't" I said. She looks up to me. "So what did the lawyer said, after I fainted.." she questions. "He said he'll get the legal procedures start, as its gonna take 2-3 weeks and whenever you'll be needed he'll call you" I explained it to her. She nods.

"Your Fredrick Clifford's grand daughter, huh?" I said to her. "Yeah, the thing is that I never saw him or met him because of, dad" she says as she whispered the last part. I gave her a sympathetic smile resting my hand on her shoulder. She half smiles. She gets from the bed.

"I am leaving then." She tell me. "Okay, then. I-" She cuts me of. "Yeah you were just about to call me a cab" She says as he gets up from the bed and walks outside the room. "But Isabella-" I started. "Look at the time Tom its 2 in the afternoon, its not night" She argues. I huffed. 

"Okay then just keep your phone on" I told her. She nods.

I payed the driver and walked towards my house. I saw Wesley standing out his house. He looks at me and smiles and walks towards me. "Hi" He greets me. "Hello" I replied. "You wanna join me and my friends for Party?" He quickly asks. 

I thought for a moment. "Okay" I replied. One party won't hurt. "Okay?" He asks raising his eyebrow. "Yeah why not." I replied with a smile. "Alright I'll be at your house at it 7"  He says smiling. "take my number" He says. 

"Call me when your ready, just dress causal, its just few friends" He says. "Alright" I said. I handed him my phone he saves his number in my phone and hands me back my phone.

"Okay.Bye" I replied and started to walk back  inside my house. "See you!' He yells. I smiled and closed the door.

My phone started buzzing it was Sophia. I picked up the phone. "Yeah, Soph?" I asked. "What happened with the lawyer?" She asks.  I told her everything. "Holy shit! you rich" She says. I laughed. "Alright I am going to a party" I told her. "Party?" She asks.

"Yeah I met a guy yesterday and he invited me for a party, his grand dad and my grand dad knew each other like they were best friends" I replied. "Okay be safe" she says. "I will be! Bye" I replied as I hung up the phone.
