“Why should I?” Isabella protested immediately, her voice her firm but palpable, Vincent could sense she was hiding something.

“Its Nothing!” she declared trying to fight her hands aways from his.

“Really? but you have been acting strangely since we came back from the doctors office or have you been thinking about what he said? Vincent asked now letting go of his grip.

She looked at Vincent, her lips suddenly frozen by his affectionate stare, as the she became free from his grip, she quickly turned around and started walking away without a reply.

But Vincent was quicker, with his eyes suddenly enraged in playfulness, he followed after her and grabbed her to the the wall, he placed his hands at both side tried to stop her from running away again.

“Or have you started falling for me?” he asked his voiced hoarsed and full of charms as he stared straight into Isabella eyes.

“Look at me!” Vincent ordered his voice soft and inviting sending butterflies all over Isabella’s belly as she began to fell hot.

Looking at Isabella up close, vincent noticed how lustful her eyes were, he lifted his hand to remove the stands of hair that was invading her beautiful face.

“What do you mean?” she questioned.

“I want us to go see your family and invite them for the wedding,” he said waiting for Isabella’s reply.

“What!” Isabella exclaimed letting it out too fast, her eyes wide open as she thought about her disarrayed family.

“Is there something wrong that?” Vincent asked noticing her sudden change of expression.

“Oh no, its fine!” she replied her voice firm and steady. she knew inviting her family was not going to end well, especially after the way she left the other day and the unsolved issues with Mr white and the Casey’s family.

Isabella thought had a out the horror of going back to her mother’s house but she knew Vincent was right, after they were still her family.

“So when do you propose to be fit, for the visit to your family?” Vincent asked a hint of curiosity in his voice, he wondered why Isabella’s had suddenly switched her mood at the mere mention of her family.

“Over the weekend,” she replied, as she turned to head upstairs for Vincents room.

With her walks fast and heavy she stormed into the room closing the door behind her, ahe didn’t want vincent coming in on her the second time.

“What is wrong with me!” she blotted pacing her hands on her chest that was beating at an uncountable rate, she quickly rushed to the mirror by the bed looking at her flushed face.

“I can’t be falling for him,” she conceded her voice calm and subtle, but was startled by the sound that came from her phone. it was no other than Audrey.

The call was followed by Audrey’s panic before Isabella could even alter a word. “There is a problem!” Audrey announced her voice wavery but firm. “Mr White has been throwing a fit about your absence and his demanding to see you,” she continued her voiced filled With concern.

At the sound of Mr white name, Isabella heart immediately sank into ground, “What do I do?” she asked her voice trembling. after her outburst with Mr white that night, she had not come in contact with Mr white.

“We need to give him what he wants,” Audrey confirmed her voiced firm but low, “It’s been a month since you’ve had any contract and he is complaining,” she added.

“But we have been trying!” Isabella argued her voice wavering at the gravity of the present circumstance, she suddenly felt a lump rise in her throat at the thought of His wrath.

“Wow! but that obviously was not my fault,” Isabella replied her voice slightly pitched, feeling irritated as she remembered the ugly sight of the man at the party.

“Vincent!” Audrey said her voice steady, she had thought about using Vincent after her talk with Isabella but she just couldn’t trust Vincent enough especially after the last time she saw him.

“What about Vincent?” Isabella inquired her voice full of curiosity.

“Maybe he could be of help,” Audrey said.

“I know he is my husband but i don’t have the intent of dragging into my problems,” Isabella noted, she didn’t Vincent getting too deep into het private life moreover their marriage would only be for a short time.

“And I doubt him having the luxury of time while he plans out wedding!” she announced.

“What! a wedding,” Audrey shouted, her voiced evident of anger. “You are having a wedding without me?” she asked her voice shard but wavery, Isabella could feel the hurt coming her voice.

“Never! you know I can’t do that,” Isabella assured her. “We had just finished talking and I was about valling you when the call came,” isabella confessed trying to assure Audrey of het loyalty.

“Are you sure about having a wedding?” Audrey asked, suddenly reminiscing how she had saw Vincent at Jessica’s few days ago.

“Yes, I am and you are doing this with me!” Isabella affirmed, her face brightening at the thought of having Audrey by her side.

“You know I’m in with you no matter what!” Audrey confirmed, a hint of doubt on her tone.

“How can we make that happen?” Isabella asked her eyes beaming with curiosity, interested in anything capable of getting Mr white off her back.

“Your wedding!” Audrey confirmed her voice evident of the joy that flowed through it.

“What about my wedding?” Isabella inquired, confused on how her wedding was going to make any different in her current disposition with Mr white, moreover if there was anything her wedding was going to cause it would be chaos.
