ISABEL
Once the sun peeked over the horizon, dispelling the shadows and
confusion of the night, I decided to woman up and return to Belmont
Manor. No thanks to Meg, who was whispering in my goddamn ear
like Satan’s cherub, urging me to consider Fate and Destiny and whatever
buzzwords she could conjure up to entice me to follow the path straight into
the Cave of Doom.
I found her in the kitchen where she was making coffee. Without
missing a beat she continued interrogating me.
“So, you’re not going to like, have George turn back halfway, right?”
she said, staring longingly as I placed the profiteroles inside the
confectionary box. “This is you going for sure?”
“For the hundredth time, yes,” I sighed. “Do you want a profiterole?”
“Oh God yes, I thought you’d never ask.”
And while we were having our morning coffee, Meg polished off three
profiteroles and had the nerve to criticize my fashion choice. “Listen I know
you can literally wear a potato sack and still look pretty, but leggings and a
top? How about something sexy, something that says Isabel Le Roche has
arrived.”
“You have me going back. So give it a rest?”
Meg picked up from my glare that I’d been pushed far enough. “You
know what, it’s your life not mine. The last thing I want to do is interfere…
But just repeat after me — I’m hot, I’m smart and I deserve to be loved.”
When I arrived at Belmont Manor, I looked at it so much differently than
I had before. Now it was the home of Roman Belmont, the man who might
or might not be the custodian of my heart.
It was impossible to make sense of what I was really feeling. I still
resented him for letting me wake up alone in the penthouse, and sending
that soulless viper to interrogate me. How could I ever get over that?
But then Roman literally moved mountains to get me my job back at Le
Petit Chateau. I was beginning to get the feeling that whatever future we
apparently were not going to have was something out of his control.
Meg was of the opinion that it had to be about money and status. She
thought it might be like the snooty royals who won’t tolerate a simple
pastry-maker in their midst. Although I didn’t believe that was the issue.
This was the 21st century, for God’s sake.
Maybe Roman just wanted a one-night stand, and he got himself one.
On the other hand, there sure as hell had to be easier ways to get a woman
into his bed. Especially for a man like him. So I had to give him credit for
being the patient pursuer who left no stone unturned in his quest.
I also had to make peace with the fact that those consuming moments
when our bodies were so entangled that it was impossible to tell us apart,
and when I crawled into the safety of his arms and he held me like he’d
never want to let go…were deceptively intoxicating moments that I was
making way too much of.
Way too much.
